Chapter 123: Chapter 111: Qin Hu’s Return, Confrontation and Slaying the Traitor

An iron fist the size of a sandbag slammed into Cheng Zhan’s chest!

In a flash, with a deafening BOOM, the wall of the command center was instantly blasted through.

A figure flew dozens of meters, slamming straight into another building before finally coming to a stop.

Yet, the fallen Cheng Zhan merely wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, then stood up and looked at the person before him, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

It smelled a familiar scent on the tall figure emerging from the hole in the wall, confirming the parasitic mother body’s suspicions.

’These foolish humans really are absorbing the Zerg Race’s genetic fluid. This way, they’ll never be able to defeat the Mother Empress who controls everything.’

’It’s not just the suppression from a higher Genetic Level; it’s also the humans’ own drain on their Spiritual Power. It’s making them lose their last chance to resist the Mother Empress’s Spiritual Control!’

’Qin Hu might seem incredibly powerful now, but compared to the Mother Empress’s Spiritual Value of over a thousand, he’s nothing more than a slightly stronger puppet—a toy.’

At this thought, the laughter inside Cheng Zhan grew more intense. As long as it brought this news back, the Mother Empress could confidently send the Tier Two Zerg Race to the front lines.

Because the Genetic Warriors that the humans were secretly developing posed a much smaller threat to the Mother Empress than she had thought!

But just as the parasitic mother body confirmed that the person before it carried the aura of a Tier Two Tiger Zerg, Qin Hu, who was walking toward it in his activated Fusion Zygote State...

...smelled a strange scent!

In this State, he was like a Zerg with a human consciousness. His body had an instinctive aversion to any humans who came near...

But when he saw Cheng Zhan in the distance...

...that feeling of aversion transformed into one of extreme familiarity.

And Qin Hu had only ever felt this way once before: in the Research Institute, when facing the Black Spine Zergs.

This meant...

’The person in front of me... is a Zerg?’

At this thought, a horrified look flashed across Qin Hu’s face, his pupils constricting in shock.

This disbelief then transformed into a raging inferno, which he unleashed upon Cheng Zhan with both fists.

After several punches, Cheng Zhan hurriedly blocked with its arms. It waited for an opening and used a weakened version of Spirit Manipulation, causing the Genetic Warrior before it to momentarily lose focus...

Then, its figure blurred, turning into a streak of light as it fled toward the area outside the defensive line.

The parasitic mother body realized it had been exposed.

The most important thing now was to leave this place and prevent the humans from finding proof of a Zerg parasitic spy. Although it hadn’t obtained the layout of the second defensive line’s assembly point, it had learned about the humans’ next plan to target the Mother Empress...

...which also counted as completing the mission.

As long as it escaped and passed on the intelligence about the human Genetic Warriors’ characteristics, the Mother Empress could confidently deploy the Tier Two Zerg Race into battle.

Once that happened, the human defensive line would be crushed just as easily!

Besides, the parasitic mother body wasn’t confident of victory. It was merely a Spiritual Element variant of the Tier Two Zerg Race, equivalent to a simplified offspring born from the Mother Empress...

Even while controlling Cheng Zhan’s body, it was only equivalent to a Level 20 ordinary Human Awakener. Its Physique Attribute was no match for a Genetic Warrior like Qin Hu.

The Power Qin Hu was currently unleashing had already climbed to the Tier Two Middle Stage. If the mother body hadn’t seized the opportunity to distract him for a moment, it might have been beaten to death by his flurry of fists.

A few seconds later, Qin Hu snapped out of it. Seeing Cheng Zhan’s retreating figure, he immediately gave chase.

He shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran:

"He’s a spy sent by the Zerg Race! Cheng Zhan has the aura of the Zerg Race on him!!!"

This declaration immediately drew countless gazes.

The old division commander, who had been about to order his men to intercept Qin Hu, watched Cheng Zhan fleeing for his life and said:

"Review the previous investigation report on Cheng Zhan. Also, investigate the matter of the staff officer who went missing at the second defensive line the day before yesterday. Start the search in the main fortress where Cheng Zhan is stationed."

The other high-ranking officers beside him started to speak, but he cut them off with a wave of his hand.

"They are both Tier Two Awakeners. Their destructive Power is no less than a company of a hundred Awakeners. How do you propose to stop a blood-crazed Qin Hu?"

"By sacrificing more lives?"

"Right now, Qin Hu represents the Research Institute and the Federation. Let their personal conflict be resolved between them."

After the old division commander made his decision, no one objected.

Meanwhile, as Qin Hu gave chase, he soon encountered Cheng Zhan’s attempts to stop him.

Several Tier One Awakeners, fearless of death, threw themselves at him, blocking his path. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Among them were former Awakener teammates, as well as new faces he didn’t recognize.

But Qin Hu instinctively felt the same familiar scent emanating from them. Like Cheng Zhan, they were all puppets, spies controlled by the Zerg Race...

So he swung his fists. Moving at a hundred meters per second, he became a blur, leaving behind corpse after corpse, each with a gaping hole torn through its chest.

Even with the protection of their Red Armor, they were as fragile as tofu and eggs before his twenty-odd tons of Power at the Tier Two Middle Stage, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

For one of them, Qin Hu’s large hand clamped down on its neck. With a hard squeeze, he instantly crushed its windpipe and cervical vertebrae. Then, from within the neck, he ripped out a living, writhing worm as long and thick as an arm...

The familiar scent he had sensed was emanating from it.

Qin Hu immediately crushed it in his hand,

and tossed it onto the headless corpse in front of him.

With the living proof right before their eyes, the other Awakener teammates who had been about to intervene immediately realized the situation had changed. They all recoiled from the corpses on the ground, keeping a wide berth.

As news of this spread, panic and unease instantly swept through the military camp.

Because of the interference from these Zerg People spies, although Qin Hu was faster than Cheng Zhan, a considerable distance had already grown between them.
