Chapter 310: Chen Zemin's Meeting With Xu Qianghua In The Past
However, most of the known Zerg Queens do not care much about the Zerg army, and such would not care much about their death.
And this Zerg Queen was similar, but due to the recent war with the other alien race, the Queen has been working overtime to take care of the battlefield while doing her best to devour as much energy as she can gain.
So, the news was that one of her collection ships had energy from more than one planet, which is what Zar'ik and his crew collected and were on their way to deliver.
But now she decided to wait until the survivors who had taken the escape pods came back and told her what was going on.
And this move alone is surprising, as the Zerg are not known for their calmness. Due to their large number, they are usually reckless. However, after this Hive Queen was born, things started changing.
First was her appearance, which was different from the previous queens, as the other queens had the form of a giant bug with six arms, sharp claws, and a mouth with rows of teeth.
Meanwhile, the new queen, who was born recently, looked like a humanoid blob with a dark purple body and two horns, but her most important part was that she was able to think and had intelligence.
However, she did not lose the most important part of her body, which is used to produce the Zerg eggs, which are an important source of food for her army.
Now, if one heard this, one would not be surprised, as the previous queens were able to possess wisdom and intelligence, but they did not look like that; most of them looked like giant bugs and could not speak.
Meanwhile, this new queen had a humanoid form and could communicate with the other Zerg and use special abilities that the previous queens did not have.
Another difference is her personality, which is very cold and ruthless. Her primary focus was not on advancing the race but on her survival.
However, if the situation called for it, the Queen would act, but only when it would benefit her the most.
This caused her to have a bad relationship with the other Queens and the Zerg leaders, who were mostly from the old era.
But even then, they would not attack her because of her ability to lead her hive, which has the highest number of members compared to all the other Zerg hives in this and nearby sectors. Therefore, the other Zerg Queens were wary.
This is also the main reason she rose to her current position, which is why even the Zerg Queens, who were from the previous era, would not do anything, even though they had a bad relationship.
So, as the Queen waited for the survivors, her thoughts wandered to the next phase, which would begin soon.
The main focus is on finding a nearby ship that can be assigned to take the leftover energy from the destroyed advance ship and bring it back.
However, this is what Xu Qianghua hoped would happen as he needed more Zerg soldiers so that he could train his soldiers using the Zerg crew from the advance ships.
And this will help his soldiers learn and grow against the Zerg soldiers who have the same strength, which will let them fight simultaneously and increase their strength, especially for the weaker soldiers.
However, the Queen does not know about this; even if she did, she would not change her order. Instead, she would send in the more powerful group to deal with this.
Which would give Xu Qianghua and the rest an even better chance at increasing their strength.
However, the Zerg Queen's mind was currently occupied with other thoughts, and she could not sense the incoming threat approaching her.
And it is not her fault, as the threat was so far away and small compared to the other threats in the galaxy.
If the Zerg Queen knew about the incoming threat, she would not have reacted differently.
But now, all she could do was wait for the survivors and hope the new ship would not fall under the same fate as the first one.
But the thing is, the Queen and the Zerg hive are not the only ones who can plan, as Xu Qianghua has his own to deal with her.
Back in the Chen Family Subspace.
Chen Min and her brother and sister were still discussing the matter and determining the next course of action.
They had already decided to send the message to the Xu family, as they could only give them the information they needed.
This is not the first time the top families have asked for their help, and this will not be the last.
So, knowing that the Xu family was their only option, they decided to take a leap of faith and trust their sister, who could have a good relationship with the Xu family.
And due to their constant interaction with the Xu family, they know that the Xu family, or to be more precise, Xu Qianghua, would definitely tell them and the top families about this as he had met him before.
Yes, during the past years, Chen Zemin has met the illusive head of the Xu family, and his first impressions were highly positive.
He did not feel any kind of contempt or anything similar from him, which surprised him.
This is because he has seen many family heads who would flaunt their new status, which, although it may sound bad, is inevitable as a lot of these people were never really in this kind of position before. Read latest stories on empire
But now they are given such power and a family that will listen to their every command, which makes many people feel inflated and brings out their hidden emotions.
This is not a surprise as there are always people who have the hidden thought that they deserve better, and, once given the chance, they would take advantage of it.
However, that is not the case with the Xu family head.
Instead, the first impression he gave was that of a cold but fair leader. This was because, during their meetings, Chen Zemin did not see any signs of him being arrogant, nor did he make any demands or try to force his opinions.
