Chapter 259: 132 Hera[(Vote Request)] _3

Yang Ming never imagined that one day he would help a girl wash her hair, do skincare, apply makeup, and perform hair care.

After more than two hours of fussing over it, Yang Ming pushed Hera in front of the full-length mirror.

Hera looked at herself in the mirror, her pretty face slightly flawed and covered by light makeup, her milky skin appearing even fairer under the light, a cute dress, a pair of comfortable high heels, brown hair tied into a bun at the back of her head…

“You remind me of my mom.”

Yang Ming, “…”

“Thank you,” Hera whispered.

“Mm-hmm,” Yang Ming shrugged, “you’ve given me enough commission. See you tonight. I need to deal with my boss, get a week off, and then help you with this private job.”

Hera turned to ask, “For the escape abroad part, will you make a good plan?”

Yang Ming met her gaze, speaking slowly, “I will.”

“Then I’ll handle the intelligence-gathering part. When are we departing for Ram Star?”

“Five days later, that’s the fastest speed,” Yang Ming replied, “I need to order a batch of agent equipment, and we also need to act like an ordinary couple in daily life to ensure that when others investigate us, there are no flaws.”

“See you tonight, my dear Yali.”

“See you tonight, sweetie.”

Hera curled her lip slightly, “That makes me feel a bit nauseous.”

“Bear with it, thanks.”

Yang Ming rolled his eyes and turned to leave the garage.

Hera watched him in the shadows.

As Yang Ming stepped out of the villa, a driverless hover car approached slowly. Yang Ming took out a miniature earpiece and ducked into the vehicle.

“How cool,” Hera murmured.

Then, Hera glanced at the backpack Yang Ming left behind, hesitated slightly, and walked towards it.

…

“Boss, she’s looking at your backpack.”

Yang Ming chuckled, “I have to make her believe I’m a secret agent, this little girl who loves to dream.”

The hover car was purchased directly by Lyu and had completed its information modification.

As Lyu’s push into the Ao Star network deepened, their operational space became gradually larger.

But this was limited to civilian areas.

Apart from those few top-tier biochemical labs, Lyu didn’t dare to invade any military facilities.

With only the computational power of the mothership’s main brain, she had no confidence in defeating the New Federation’s network team.

“Boss, the necrotic disease on Ram Star has been temporarily suppressed. They’ve lost tens of thousands of hectares of good fields, and it wasn’t because they took any action to suppress it; the disease receded by itself.”

Lyu laughed, “The most ingenious part is that the spread of the necrotic disease completely coincides with the location of their base.”

“Professor Pat was terrified. He’s been putting pressure on all departments, from the military to the investigation bureau, to the Central Intelligence Agency, contacting them all.”

“Ram Star is operating normally now.”

“Is that so?” Yang Ming rubbed his temples. “How’s the assessment of Hera attacking me coming along?”

“Seventy percent probability that the Insect Queen in that base controlled Hera.”

Lyu reported quickly, “This could be understood as it panicking, trying desperately to kill you, or it could be understood as her being controlled now, likely in a state of anesthesia, possibly with only instinctive attacking behavior.”

“Hera had mentioned swallowing a sample accidentally during her dispute with Professor Pat.”

“It’s safe to say that Hera is now equivalent to a non-combatant larva susceptible to the queen’s influence.”

Yang Ming’s interest was piqued, “Can she evolve? Keep a close eye on her.”

“I’m afraid not, her genetic sequence is still completely human. Boss, she’s a very precious sample. Perhaps through her, we can uncover the principles of the Insect Race’s social operations.”

Lyu reminded, “If you wish to develop a powerful civilization, boss, the Insect Race will inevitably be the enemy of you or your descendants, so understanding them is crucial.”

“Boss, enchant her with your male charm.”

Yang Ming frowned, “That’s too unscrupulous, Lyu. I can’t greedily take everything from her, manipulating her emotions, making her risk her life to get me the intelligence I need, and ultimately abduct her, making her betray her country.”

“You’re right,” Lyu mumbled, “that would indeed be too awful.”

“Then I’ll try to find the feelings, see if I can genuinely like her,” Yang Ming clicked his tongue, “at least I can’t deceive a girl’s feelings anymore, that’s where I draw the line as a gentleman.”

Lyu, “…”

“She’s actually a bit older than you in bone age. Also, do you really plan to go to Ram Star again?”

“Yes,” Yang Ming stated, “I need that intelligence, second only to the enhancement serum formula.”

“You’re very likely to provoke those insects.”

“That’s not our problem,” Yang Ming said coolly.

“Remember, no matter which direction this develops, the main culprit is the New Federation.”

“If they can come to realize that they cannot control the Insect Race, which could brew a huge disaster, then having the executioners in their base make some sacrifices now is actually a good outcome.”

“We are not messengers of justice, nor should we be too restrained by moral constraints.”

“Understood, Lyu understands.”

Yang Ming casually activated a projection screen, and the agricultural star on the screen slowly rotated.

Meanwhile, in Hera’s villa.

Hera was continually recording, trying to recall various situations after her mind was controlled the previous night.

Ssss–

The familiar noise appeared again.

Hera’s eyes immediately shone a light green.

“Kill him.”

Hera slowly stood up, her fingers accidentally touched the backpack Yang Ming had left behind.

The green light in her eyes vanished instantly, the noise in her ears was gone.

Eh?

Hera awoke as if from a dream, looked down at the backpack, and hugged it tightly, her face pale, breathing heavily.

It was as if she had just seen something.

A terrifying and complex giant mouthpart seemed to be slowly opening in front of her, exposing the scarlet eye inside.

Hera hurriedly opened her sketchpad and quickly began drawing the scene she saw in her vague state.

All along, she never dared to release that backpack, as if it could bring her some inexplicable sense of safety.

What controlled her…

Wasn’t human.
