He didn't expect Jiujiu to really develop the potion, and it was even effective for ten years. Old John was overjoyed. He took the potion and was about to leave with it when Jiujiu stopped Old John.
Jiujiu handed the Gu worm in her hand to Old John and said, "Please send it to the planet closest to the insectoids."
It was only then that Old John saw that Jiujiu was holding an insectoid in her hand.
Because of the existence of the insectoids, everyone's expression changed when they talked about them. Old John was shocked by the sudden appearance of an insectoid. His fat and round body burst forth with great strength as he jumped ten meters away.
Jiujiu didn't expect Old John to have such a big reaction. She was stunned for a moment before she couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, it's my insectoid. It won't hurt you."
Jiujiu touched the insectoid's cold shell, lowered her head, and kissed the insectoid's back with her soft pink lips. She said gently, "Remember to send a message back!"
The insectoid's eight small horns happily walked around in Jiujiu's hand. Its two front claws were happily waving in the air. It was clearly an insectoid, but the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Old John was surprised to see such a lively insectoid for the first time. He then remembered what Jiujiu said about refining a 'Gu worm'. "General Su, you really refined it?"
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "Could it be fake?"
Old John waved his hand. "That's not what I meant. I'm just curious. Does it listen to you or Zerg Queen? Also …"
Old John looked at the insectoid in Jiujiu's hand hesitantly. Although it looked murderous, its head was too small!
"Is it okay to put it on the planet closest to the insectoids?"
"Do you think I'm stronger, or is Zerg Queen stronger?"
If it was before, Old John would definitely say that Zerg Queen was stronger. But now, he wasn't so sure. Jiujiu's abilities were too strong. She didn't seem like a human. She was like an omniscient encyclopedia.
Old John didn't say it out loud, but Jiujiu saw the answer from Old John's expression.
Jiujiu chuckled. "I made it. Of course it will listen to me. As for whether it's a problem or not, you'll know in the future...."
Jiujiu knew that Old John had a grudge against the insectoids. So, she put the insectoid in a small box and asked Old John to send it to the planet closest to the insectoids.
Although they had been fighting against the insectoids for decades, Old John couldn't bear to dislike Jiujiu's insectoid at all. This insectoid was too human-like. He often forgot that it was just an insectoid because of some of its actions.
Because Zerg Queen had been born, and it was very likely that she could control ability users with psychic power. Old John first brought Jiujiu's medicine back to the Federation and let all the ability users take it. Only then did he dare to send the insectoid to the planet closest to the insectoids.
Soon, the video sent back by the ability users made Old John's jaw drop.
After the insectoid, which was extremely obedient in Jiujiu's hands and had been staying in the box, was placed on the planet, it immediately grew from the size of a palm to a full ten meters tall and twenty meters long. Even from the video, the pressure that permeated the insectoid's body was not much different from that of Zerg Queen.
Did General Su cultivate a Zerg Queen?
And she actually had a way to reduce this insectoid to the size of a palm, and even make it obedient. Just how powerful was she?
Thinking of this possibility, Old John immediately put Jiujiu in the list of people that he could never offend.
After the insectoid arrived on the planet, it immediately relied on its powerful pressure to become the overlord of the planet. It quickly cut through the void and headed to Zerg Queen's planet.
Zerg Queen appeared again.
As for whether or not this news should be announced to all of humanity, the Federation's supreme commander and councilors had different opinions.
The supreme leader naturally wanted to tell the ordinary people about this matter.
After all, once the war with the insectoids began, it would definitely be a war that would last for decades. During these decades, the losses and casualties of the war would be in the trillions. Only by letting the people clearly see the price that the country paid for their survival would they completely submit to the Federation's rule.
Some conservative councilors naturally did not want the president's power to be increased, and raised objections without thinking. Their objection was that the Federation had just gone through a long war and had finally returned to a state of peace. If the people were told that the insectoids had appeared again, it would definitely cause panic among the people.
In the long war with the insectoids, the Federation would need decades to recover its former glory. If the people were to panic again, this number would be delayed indefinitely, and this day might never come.
The two views were in a deadlock, and in the end, it was Old John who stood up and said, "I'm afraid that no one here knows better than I do how terrifying the insectoids are."
Most of the people present only knew how to play politics. Let alone fight the insectoids, they had probably never even seen an insectoid before.
As soon as Old John finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Old John continued, "Being conservative is a good thing, but if the insectoids one day attack our Federation's territory, it will cause even greater panic."
In response to Old John's words, a councilor sharply replied, "Didn't you already sign a contract with Su Jiujiu? He'll help us solve the insectoid problem?"
"Yes, I did sign a contract with General Su, but don't forget that General Su also gave us a potion to prevent Zerg Queen from controlling us. You all know in your hearts who has the advantage. Besides, do you really think that the Federation alone can stop the insectoid invasion?"
Old John looked at the young faces in the conference room and slowly sighed. "I've been on the battlefield, and I'm more familiar than any of you here with how cruel and ruthless the insectoids are. As long as you give them the slightest chance, they'll leap up and devour you. When General Su signed the contract with the Federation, he said that Zerg Queen would appear very soon. He also told me that the insectoids have been constantly evolving over the years.
Zerg Queen's reappearance has already proven the accuracy of General Su's words. The insectoids' evolution is also true.
Humans have spent decades resisting the unevolved insectoids. What makes you think that the evolved insectoids will be easier to deal with? "
Old John's words left the councilor speechless.
The councilor's mouth opened and closed, and after a long while, he mumbled, "But General Su and the Federation have reached a cooperative relationship. Shouldn't they protect the Federation?"
"General Su is now a galactic pirate, not a general of the Empire. Her willingness to cooperate with the Federation and give the Federation potion is already the Federation taking advantage of her. Why should the Federation ask her to protect us?"
