IACF [QT] Chapter 101.1

The war began silently but brutally.

The day before, people were still gossiping about the emperor’s new lover, but the next day, an urgent war report was sent back.

Under the cover of a stellar magnetic storm, the Zerg invaded the empire’s border planet and engaged in a fierce battle with the troops stationed there.

The entire empire was plunged into a tense atmosphere.

Even the students in the Capital Star and the Royal Academy, who were far away from the battlefield and had no idea of ​​the suffering, stopped joking and talking heartlessly.

Su Yi had just been quiet for a while, but when the war broke out, she became the focus of everyone again because Huo Jun was on the front line.

But this time it was not about gossip. Those girls who usually laughed and joked came to comfort her one by one.

“Su Yi, don’t worry too much. Senior Huo is so powerful. He will definitely kill all the Zerg without leaving a single piece of armor.”

“Yes, even the S-level Zerg are no match for Senior Huo, let alone those shrimp soldiers and crab generals.”

“Senior Huo is the strongest person I have ever seen. He will be fine!”

“Su Yi, I’m looking forward to attending your royal wedding with Senior Huo. You must invite us then.”

Several people talked to her.

After they finished speaking, Su Yi smiled and said, “Thank you, I also believe that he will defeat the Zerg and return victoriously.”

After parting with the girls, Su Yi could still hear them whispering.

“Let’s not talk about war news in front of Su Yi anymore. She will definitely be sad if she hears it.”

“Alas, why do we have to fight? The Zerg are so hateful.”

“Think about this time yesterday, everyone was discussing what His Majesty did with his new lover. Today…”

“Stop talking. I feel ashamed when I think that while we are talking and laughing, our soldiers are desperately defending this country.”

“I suddenly feel a little disgusted with His Majesty. While Senior Huo was fighting the Zerg on the battlefield, he found a lover who was younger than his own son. He only knows how to enjoy himself every day. It’s so disheartening.”

“Shh— Don’t discuss this.”

Su Yi was indeed not too worried.

With today’s technology, if one is injured on the battlefield, as long as he has a breath left, he can still be saved if he receives timely treatment.

Besides, Huo Jun is extremely powerful and has armor to protect him. Ordinary Zerg could not hurt him. Even if he really encounters a tough opponent and unfortunately dies, Su Yi has a way to bring him back to the world.

Therefore, apart from suffering and pain, Huo Jun’s life is safe.

Su Yi had a premonition that this war would last for a long time, so she analyzed the reasons based on the information she collected and some information provided by Mao Tuan.

The reasons for wars in the past are all due to the competition for living space and resources.

Humans have developed technology and expanded from Earth to the universe, transforming many planets that were originally unsuitable for human habitation into habitable planets.

The Zerg are just the opposite. They reproduce rapidly and are naturally destructive and plundering, like locusts. After consuming all the resources in one place, they will go to grab the next piece of territory.

So, humans and Zerg are born unable to coexist.

Su Yi discovered that historically, the Zerg invasions were not continuous, but had intervals of varying lengths.

She guessed that whenever the Zerg population grew to a certain size and resources were on the verge of exhaustion, they would start a war, one to grab territory and the other to consume each other.

After a war, even if they cannot seize new resources, the remaining Zerg can still survive on the few resources they have because many of their own kind die on the battlefield.

When the population expands again and their living space is squeezed, they will choose to invade again.

In other words, as long as the Zerg are not completely eliminated, the struggle between humans and them will never stop.

However, if there were no Zerg, the struggle between humans and humans might escalate due to the disappearance of external threats, turning the current small friction into internal fighting, and then leading to division and endless struggle.

Absolute peace is almost impossible.

Because of the war, Su Yi originally thought that her monthly contact with Huo Jun would be interrupted.

However, on that day of every month, her communicator finally rang after being delayed for several hours.

When Huo Jun contacted her for the first time, he was too excited and didn’t think too much, so he woke Su Yi up in the early morning.

Later, every time, he calculated the time difference and video-called her during Su Yi’s rest time.

But this time, it was postponed until she fell asleep.

The special ringtone only lasted for a few seconds before Su Yi answered it.

Huo Jun’s image appeared in the room. He was darker and thinner. Su Yi was too lazy to repeat this every time. However, compared with the last time, he was indeed more unkempt.

His face was covered in dust, his chin was covered in stubble, his hair was messy and sticking up in all directions, his combat uniform had several holes in it, and the buttons on his chest were broken, revealing his bronze chest, which was also covered in a mixture of sweat and dust.

Compared with Su Yi who was wearing a white nightgown, the two of them seemed to be from two different worlds.

But Su Yi felt that her dog was still very handsome, even more handsome than before.

He no longer had a boyish aura like before, but a wild charm belonging to an adult man.

Of course, Su Yi would never admit that it was her three-hundred-meter-thick filter that was at work.
