Hearing this sentence, Chloe's spirit was almost unbearable. This was a defense-breaking attack.

She was kicked out of Swarm Network by Overmind. Although Overmind built a Small Network for her so that she could command Warrior Bug, it was far from enough to fill the emptiness in her heart.

The feeling of losing Swarm Network is a loneliness that can destroy her soul. The small Swarm Network cannot fill that void.

Precisely because she had experienced the pain of disconnection, she was very jealous of Stars who could stay in Swarm Network. Stars's words almost made Chloe want to give her a shot of Psionics Shock.

It seems that Chloe's actions can be seen, but Stars is still confident. She is the real Swarm Node, with the support of Swarm Network and the assistance of Hive Mind.

In addition, she had just received Overmind as a reward and obtained Genetic Ascension. She was really not afraid of Chloe when it came to taking action. Besides, did Chloe really have the courage to take action?

"I am now the real Swarm Node, which is the reward of Overmind." Stars clicked on his brain, "There is a Data Bug in it, which not only allows me to permanently connect to Swarm Network, but also can get in touch with Overmind at any time."

"Now I am a part of Swarm, a part of Swarm Network." Spreading his hands, Stars showed no threat. "So, Her Majesty the Queen, do you dare to attack me like this?"

Expressions of envy and jealousy appeared alternately on Chloe's face. She was even a little aggrieved. She had obviously done so much for Swarm and so much for Overmind.

Why could Stars get such a good reward, but she was kicked out of Swarm Network! This is unfair, she seemed to want to blame Overmind.

As soon as this thought arose, she was suppressed by Chloe. She was a little frightened, and kept telling herself in her heart that it was insurmountable, and apologized to Overmind.

Out of awe for Overmind, despite the extreme anger in his heart, Chloe lowered his head to Stars and got out of the way.

With a snort, Stars didn't look at Chloe again, and entered Death Forest with the Venomspider army.

Originally, Chloe came here to mock Stars, but unexpectedly, Stars forced him to retreat and show weakness. Chloe, who was extremely disappointed, had to return to the human camp lonely.

The decoration and scenery here felt strange to her. She had slept in Hatchery, or probably next to Overmind, for a long time.

Now her tent is still extremely luxurious, clean and tidy, with comfortable beds, exquisite fruits and food at her fingertips.

But these external objects cannot make up for the emptiness in her heart. Although Small Network is also very lively and the bugs are sharing their emotions, there is no voice of Overmind here.

It was obviously a quiet night with beautiful moonlight, but the time was particularly difficult.

Perhaps the effect of the drug had not worn off yet. Chloe was tossing and turning on the bed but could not fall asleep. Her restless mood caused Small Network to become manic. Swarm, who was resting outside the camp, began to move irritably and roar.

Dozens of Knight in the camp were about to have their spirits broken. They had just seen the fierce collision between Swarm and Beast Horde during the day. The bloody and cruel scene had become their nightmare.

At night, those terrifying Swarms were still moving around and roaring while they were sleeping. Just hearing their voices made the Knights in the bed tremble.

No one dared to explore the truth. Everyone covered their heads with quilts, as if doing so would keep their fear out.

Two Roach walked into Chloe's bedroom. The guard was so scared that he paralyzed to the ground after being stared at by the three-meter-tall Hydralisk. He didn't dare to stop him. He was considered brave if he didn't urinate.

Zergling and Needle Crawler also entered the human camp one after another. Of course, this small camp could not accommodate so many Warrior Bug. Those who could not get in lined up outside, and occasionally let out a roar to support their companions inside.

Chloe, who noticed something strange, sat up from the bed. She was not frightened by the two huge Roachs beside the bed. She was very used to the terrifying appearance of Zerg, and even felt very friendly.

"Are you concerned about me?" Chloe asked in Small Network.

The silly, big and thick Roach nodded, and a feeling of comfort came from Small Network.

After feeling Swarm's care, Chloe felt much better. She put a hand on her chest and asked, "Can you answer my confusion?"

Roach starts to jump and jump, just like dancing. Basically, Swarm Unit is not very intelligent, but they also have feelings and cannot speak, but they can express their emotions.

Small Network means yes.

"How can I get Overmind's favor? How can I get Overmind to let me return to Swarm." Chloe asked with the mentality of giving it a try.

The emotions coming from Small Network began to be confusing. There was anything to say, and each individual had his or her own ideas. Through the identification and integration of the network, the answers began to become clear and unified.

"To be useful, under normal circumstances, Overmind will not abandon its Swarm. Overmind loves Swarm, if There must be other reasons why Overmind asked Swarm to disconnect from the network. Either Overmind has difficulties, or this Swarm is so useless that it has no recycling value."

"So, it must be valuable and useful." This is the unified answer of Small Network.

To be honest, this answer was very general and of low reference value. Originally Chloe wanted to laugh it off, but suddenly she realized something. What Small Network said might be right.

During the entire Beast Tide period, although she was the supreme commander of Swarm, Stars performed more brilliantly and brilliantly than her.

Swarm Network has memory, and all experiences will be remembered.

If Stars and her positions were swapped, would she be better than Stars? If Stars were Executor, would she be better than her?

Hive Mind has its own evaluation and calculation standards, and Chloe also understands that she is not as good as Stars.

This might be the answer, why Overmind made Stars become Swarm Node and she got kicked out.

Thinking of this, Chloe felt a sudden realization, and she couldn't sleep. Overmind told her to let her realize her wish, avenge Empress Mother, and become Queen of Humanity.

Since Overmind gave her a task, she must complete it. Continuing to feel sorry for herself here will only lower Overmind's evaluation of her.

Yes, now Chloe no longer regards his past wishes as his motivation, but takes Overmind's will as his direction of action.

After putting on her clothes, Chloe rushed out of the tent. She gave the guard who fell on the ground an indifferent look.

He ordered in a cold tone, "Get everyone up and start marching. Time waits for no one. I hope that in seven days, our team can walk out of Death Forest and return to Borderlands Earl County."

Captured by Chloe's cold tone, the guard immediately got up. He mustered up the courage to pick up the bell and rush to the tent where Knight were resting.
