”That is not low. It seems like only the powerful ones had a chance of surviving the Zerg invasion.” Wang Tong murmured.
He conceded that there were many things he needed to do. Not only did he need to worry about fending off the Zerg attacks, but he also wanted to find out the real motivation behind the Zergs' inactivity of late.
Wang Tong knew the Zergs temperament well, so he found it hard pressed to believe that they would leave the Jade city alone and give up the aggression.
Something was amiss; it was as if the Zergs had purposefully preserved human life for some perverted intent.
Wang Tong could not find an answer to his questions, but he knew it was important to figure it out.
Charcoal walked alongside Wang Tong like a trusty companion. It was not uncommon to be accompanied by a personal robot, but no robot was as antiquated as Charcoal. Although only the rich people had the money to buy personal robots, a safe city never lacked rich people.

Meanwhile, inside a city shrouded by a dark cloud, the Dark Lord held a glass full of blood. Patroclus liked the taste of fine wines, but Moye preferred real human blood.
”What are Patroclus' men doing?”
”They have been quiet. I think they are looking for something.”
”How dare he! This is my turf, and I want him to know it. Don't alert them yet, but follow them as close as possible.”
”My lord, are we still going to carry out our plan?”
Moye was a dark one, meaning that he had never been a human. There were still reminiscences of his Zerg origin; however, that didn't affect his almost perfect face.
”Of course, we are. ”
”We don't care about the presence of Patroclus' men?”
”No!” Moye refuted, his voice booming in the hall.
The rest of the dark ones dropped to their knees with heads lowered. Moye twirled the cup in his hand and roiled the blood slowly. ”Patroclus has chosen his own path, and it is not the Zerg way. Never should we question the decision of our Mother Queen. Plus, I want to see how my beloved children will fare in a real-world mission. I have spent a lot of resources on them.”
”Yes, my lord. The first generation is about to hatch; the mission will be a good test for them.”
”Hehe… There are rewards along with risks. Make sure we keep track of their performance.”
”Yes, my lord.”
”Our human researchers are a bunch of turn-cloaks. Make sure they remember who they work for.”
”Yes, master. I will discipline whoever dares to undermine your authority.” The high ranking dark one replied.
Somewhere deep in the dark castle, a giant egg shone a with light passing through its translucent membrane. The membrane undulated as something inside struggled to break free.

After Wang Tong and the other three met again, they looked for a place to spend the night. They quickly decided on a hostel for traveling Sect members as they found out how expensive the normal hotels were.
