Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

"Squeak..."

"Screw rustle..."

"Crunch, crunch..."

"vomit……"

The first three voices were from the mutated venomous rats, and the last one was from Mo Li.

"what happened?"

"Ali, what's wrong with you?"

"Did the kids bother you?"

Mo Li waved his hand, slightly easing the physical reaction caused by the disgusting images detected by his mental power, before replying with a somewhat strange expression:

"It's nothing." She hesitated for a moment, then murmured a couple of times.

"It's better if you don't know, it's just too..." disgusting.

The venomous rat taught her a bloody lesson through its actions: even within the same species, if you are weak and lagging behind, you will inevitably be devoured by your companions.

However------

Despite the disgust, Mo Li made a surprising discovery, which reminded her of things related to mutated plants and animals and energy devouring in the apocalypse.

There are two ways to devour: one is through flesh and bones, and the other is through the crystal nuclei formed inside their bodies.

She had just discovered that after the Poison Fang Rat devoured its weaker and lagging companions, its body seemed to have been injected with an extra amount of energy. Although it couldn't advance its rank, it had solidified its original strength invisibly.

However, before Mo Li could think further, he heard Guan Yunzhou and his accompanying guards.

"The mutated venomous rats are approaching. To prevent them from using their usual trump cards, all guards are preparing to activate combat mode and do everything in their power to protect Ali and the babies."

"receive."

"Security measures have been strengthened again."

"Battle mode is activated. Be ready for battle at any time."

They were all elites selected by the Interstellar Alliance, the Empire, and the Emperor for Mo Li and the babies, from their respective guard teams. Their abilities were comparable to those of special forces kings in front-line combat units.

Most of them had been on the battlefield and had extensive combat experience. Before this, each of them had shouldered the responsibility of protecting the people of the interstellar space.

Because some Zerg can cause environmental changes due to weather conditions, they can appear in different areas of the capital planet, even in the core area with the highest security level.

Mutant venomous rats are undoubtedly frequent visitors in weather like this, along with other mutated black beetles, mutated six-eyed spiders, mutated cockroaches, and so on.

All of them are extremely disgusting, and they all have in common: they are poisonous and exist in large quantities.

While roaming recklessly, it releases toxins and causes all sorts of destruction.

Mutant venomous rats are among the most disgusting creatures. They all emerge from underground, dripping venom and gnawing at everything they encounter with their teeth.

Mo Li's mental power had already detected that the ground beneath the hovercar they were riding in was teeming with swarms of mutated venomous rats.

This time, she finally got a clear look at them. As someone who absolutely loathed rats, their appearance made it impossible for her to look at them for more than a second.

But in order to learn more about them, I gritted my teeth and scanned them from head to toe with my mental power. In fact, their mutations were inside and out. In addition to their tusks that resembled those of wild boars, even the hair on their entire bodies stood up like barbs, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

It has four venom sacs all over its body, one inside each of its cheeks. This makes its cheeks look very swollen from the outside, like an inflated balloon about to burst.

The reason it grows in this way is actually to prepare for its eventual self-destruction when it can no longer win.

The other two were located in the abdominal cavity, and because its name contains the word "poison," those two venom sacs were exceptionally large.

If it weren't for the overall evolution after the mutation, no longer needing to rely on four limbs to walk, but instead relying on the jumping of the two hind legs and the combined gripping force of the two claws like steel claws, the extent to which the two enormous venom sacs in the abdominal cavity stretched the belly would really require carrying the belly while walking.

What made Mo Li pay more attention was that, by observing the movement patterns of these mutated venomous rats, she quickly discovered something strange about their overall behavior and determined that, due to the mutation, their eyes had lost the ability to see and explore, and now they relied entirely on some kind of sense of touch, or perhaps they had evolved a kind of perceptive ability to guide them.

"You guys figure out a way to catch two for me."

Ye Zixuan: 'Huh? Ali, what did you say? Catch, catch what? You mean, those disgusting things? No way, putting aside whether they're dangerous or not, just the disgusting drool dripping from their mouths is unbearable.'

Dongfang Yu: "The mutated venomous rat is not only poisonous, but it also carries various harmful bacteria. It's too unsafe."

Guan Yunzhou: "Madam, this request cannot be fulfilled for the time being. You and the children are the most important. I will not let any danger come near you."

Looking at the rare persistence on their three handsome faces, Mo Li couldn't help but chuckle. Since she transmigrated, they had been incredibly obedient and protective of her.

It's so rare to see such a uniform expression of rejection; it's quite novel.

What can be done?

She couldn't refute it either; the babies were indeed very fragile and couldn't withstand any risks, and she wouldn't take any risks just to satisfy her curiosity.

"Do they have shiny crystals in their brains? Or perhaps in their abdomens?"

If she had one, she would actually only need the crystal core.

Dongfang Yu: "There are no insectoids below the fifth rank."

"Is it located in the brain or the abdomen?"

"Some have crystals inside their brains, and some have crystals inside their abdomens. Generally, few people dig out their crystals; the corpses of the Zerg are usually burned in a centralized manner."

"The crystal has also been corrupted by the berserk factor?"

"Yes."

Mo Li understood everything.

"Bang, bang..."

With each cannon shot, a thick, sticky smell of blood filled the air, mixed with an indescribable nauseating odor.

"Fire, fire, fire! Holy crap, what the hell is this? Under this bombardment of artillery, laser sweeps, and infrared netting, they can still use their trump card to play 'Jack-a-Kids' right in front of me. Hehe, I'll give them a nine-family elimination game today."

These venomous rats sensed the presence of living people in the area and emitted a piercing squeak that echoed through the sky.

Some aimless fanged rats received the signal and rushed towards us at top speed. Our side was on full alert and dispatched multiple defense teams to carry out a fierce "clean-up" of the areas where they were gathered.

There are just too many!

This is the only way to remove it!

"What the hell is going on? It feels like we can't stop fighting them no matter what we do. There's a huge, dark mass of them. Are all the mutated venomous rats heading this way?"

Dongfang Yu and Guan Yunzhou also felt the anxiety and urgency of the current situation.

The captain of the guard dispatched by the Emperor sent an urgent message: "The situation is too dangerous right now. I have specially arranged for people to escort Ms. Mo Li and you to leave first."
