StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 150 Little Mute

The little boy looked at the energy stone in her hand, then at her face.

Finally making up his mind, he pointed to himself and opened his mouth under Shen Qingqing's expectant gaze.

"Abba, Ababa, Abba..."

Shen Qingqing was dumbfounded.

She considered countless possibilities, including the possibility that he might not understand the Zerg language, whether to have Lao Ba act as a translator, whether to communicate with him using code, and whether to go back and find Lia.

However, she never imagined that he would be mute!

The little mute boy made two "Aba aba" sounds, as if to tell her that he couldn't speak and that asking him would be pointless.

However, he underestimated Shen Qingqing's determination to take Andor and Liya out with her.

"It's alright. Although you can't speak, you can understand what I'm saying. Even if I just use hand gestures, you can guess the general meaning."

Shen Qingqing told him, "If I'm right, nod; if I'm wrong, shake your head."

"Can you understand this?"

The little mute boy nodded.

"Very well, first question, are you a Zerg?"

The mute boy thought for a moment and decided that he should also be considered a member of the Zerg, so he nodded.

"My second question is, do you know how to get out of here?"

Another nod.

Shen Qingqing was overjoyed and then asked, "Can you take me to the exit?"

The little mute boy stared straight at her and shook his head.

"Why?" Shen Qingqing asked the question subconsciously, but then realized that he couldn't speak, so she gave up asking for the reason.

After all, asking wouldn't get any response.

The little mute boy's gaze followed Shen Qingqing's movements, but his eyes remained fixed on the energy stone in her hand.

"Since I've promised you, I will never go back on my word." Shen Qingqing made her decision with great courage.

She decided to open the jar containing the petri dish.

But before that, she cautiously asked, "If I open the jar, will you attack me?"

The little mute seemed surprised by her question, tilted his head and pondered for a moment before finally shaking his head.

"Okay, I will release you and give you the energy stone."

Shen Qingqing struggled to twist the lid with both hands, feeling like her teeth were about to break, but the lid still didn't budge.

I really wonder why Cecilia can tighten the lid so easily when she controls the same body, just like she's tightening a bottle cap.

But even with her teeth clenched to the bone, she couldn't budge it an inch.

This is the time to send out your own Super Wings.

Shen Qingqing shamelessly made a request to Cecilia, who was lying in the void contemplating the life of insects.

After listening, Cecilia felt that her inheritance bug was really too weak.

"You're incredibly weak. When I was first born, I could catch a blade with my bare hands, but now you can't even open a lid. You're a disgrace to our Zerg race."

And so, to the astonishment of the little mute boy...

The female, who couldn't even unscrew the cap just moments before, suddenly seemed to have transformed into a different insect, unscrewing the enormous cap, half a meter in diameter, with a snap, as easily as unscrewing a soda bottle cap.

"Hehe, thank you Cecilia."

Shen Qingqing fawned over him like a lackey.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you communicate with a little mute."

Cecilia had been observing her movements. If the little mute man on the other side dared to make the slightest move, she vowed that she would forcefully seize control and kill him with a single blow.

She wasn't kidding.

After being released, the little mute struggled to climb out of the petri dish, barely noticing that he almost fell, and reached out his hand to Shen Qingqing.

Seeing him reach out, Cecilia felt an overwhelming urge to smash him. "What is he doing?"

Shen Qingqing scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I promised him that if he answered my question, I would give him this energy stone in exchange."

After receiving the energy stone, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth, puffing out his cheeks.

The crunching sound of chewing made Cecilia feel a slight ache in her teeth.

"Since you feed on energy stones, then the commotion in the energy supply room earlier was caused by you, right?" Shen Qingqing asked, watching him bury his head in his food.

The little mute didn't even look up, he was only focused on eating the energy stones.

He only looked up when Cecilia patted his shoulder while controlling his body.

He looked into her eyes and nodded emphatically.

After finishing eating, he turned his attention to the other energy stones in Shen Qingqing's hand.

Noticing his gaze, Shen Qingqing wrapped the remaining energy stones in cloth.

"I can't give this to you; I still need it."

The little mute grinned, revealing sharp, white teeth, as if threatening her.

Seeing his provocative grin, Shen Qingqing couldn't resist pinching his cheek.

To be honest, it didn't have the soft feel she had imagined.

It felt more like being squeezed against a taut, hard stone.

The little mute boy angrily slapped away the hand that was rubbing against his face and glared at her.

He pointed his finger at the energy stone in her arms.

It looks like it's saying you have to pay a fee to pinch someone's cheek, otherwise you can't.

But Shen Qingqing got a freebie this time.

He originally wanted to bite the female opposite him to make her stay away from him, but remembering that he had given her a response that wouldn't hurt her, he suppressed the thought and let her rub his face.

He's a principled worm.

"In that case, I'll be going," Shen Qingqing said, seeing that he didn't respond. She thought that once she got back and repaired Andorra, she would go with the two of them to find the exit. "Be careful."

The little mute boy tilted his head as he watched her leave.

I don't understand why she left.

Didn't they have a lot of fun?

So, unwilling to give up, he followed.

Shen Qingqing looked at the child in front of her, who barely reached her chin, with a puzzled expression. "You're coming with me?"

The little mute boy raised his head, looked at her with emotionless eyes, then reached out and hesitated for a moment before shaking Shen Qingqing's hand.

He looked at her with expectant eyes and occasionally shook her hand.

Shen Qingqing immediately understood that he wanted to play with her.

So she took her hand out and ruffled his hair twice. "Sweetie, I have something important to do right now and can't play with you."

The little mute boy sadly let go of her hand, turned around and squatted in the corner. He took out several mechanical fragments from the pile of junk and arranged them on the ground, from smallest to largest, and started playing with them by himself.

Shen Qingqing sighed. She wasn't a saint. This child was obviously a modified insect just by looking at him. Although she didn't know why he was here, it had nothing to do with her!

She must go back to find Andor and Lia, and she must bring the Zerg's enemies and traitors to justice.

"My sister has a reason for having to leave."
