Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Is There a Problem with the Mermaid Egg?
Upon hearing Gu Jue’s voice, Su Wan, drenched in sweat, let out a light sigh.
He knew after all.
Su Wan, "Ajue, I’m fine, don’t worry about me. How’s it going on your end?"
Gu Jue, "We’ve already penetrated the interior of the Insectoid Base. Several of Doris’s key high-ranking Insectoid commanders have been eliminated by us."
"Did you catch Doris and Lucifer?"
"Not yet. Wanwan, I’m sorry."
At that moment, an Insectoid with incredible speed suddenly charged out of a corner, but just as it was about to reach Gu Jue, it was impaled by an icicle.
Gu Jue continued in a tender voice, "I’m so sorry that I can’t be by your side at this time. I’m sorry for making you endure this danger and pain."
Listening to his gentle voice, Su Wan felt as if she was holding that fuzzy big tail in her hands.
The pain in her body seemed to lessen quite a bit, and she said softly, "Ajue, rest assured, I’m okay. Stop talking and go catch Doris and Lucifer quickly. Once you have them, come back and see me and the child. I... miss you."
"Understood," Gu Jue ended the call, then lifted his head, his gaze sharp and determined.
He walked with firm steps towards the depths of the base.
When Gu Jue suddenly perceived something, he pressed his hand against the ground, and in an instant, half the room froze over!
"Commander, what’s wrong?"
"Ah, there’s a huge ant leg here! Could it be that of the Insect Queen?"
Gu Jue’s eyes were half-lidded, "Keep pursuing!"
Doris and the others must be nearby! This time, they must be completely eradicated to finish this once and for all!
The Azure Dragon Mech suddenly raised its head and let out a long roar, directly sending those Insect Beasts that were coming to stop Gu Jue and protect their Insect Queen flying!

The Ninth Squad’s spaceship was already hovering in midair. Pandora handed over the piloting to Lin Yu, "I’ve been in labor for so long, I’ll go back and check. Lin Yu, you take the helm!"
"Understood." Lin Yu was also very worried about Su Wan, but at this moment, it wasn’t suitable for him to go there.
Alex scratched his messy green hair, "The captain is so powerful, she must be fine, right?"
Bai Qi clenched his teeth, "The captain definitely won’t have any trouble!"
Lin Yu gripped the controller in his hands tightly. With narrowed eyes, he looked out at the starry sky through the glass window. At this moment, he felt somewhat frustrated with his helplessness, unable to do anything to assist Su Wan!
Meanwhile, Pandora, as the only female among them, had just hurried into the medical room when she heard Sheng An excitedly say, "It’s born! It’s born! Joe, hurry and bring over that small recuperation pod."
Their equipment was not comprehensive, lacking a specialized device to store Mermaid Eggs, but fortunately, they could use the medical pod as a temporary solution.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and after ensuring that Su Wan was in a stable condition, they went to look at the egg.
Ouyang Qing, "Why is this egg much larger than a normal Mermaid Egg?"
Su Wan, "...Ever since I got pregnant with this child, my appetite has been very strong. I can eat a lot, so, could it be that the difficulty was due to the egg being too big?"
Ouyang Qing: "It’s not certain for now, Qiao, use a simple monitoring stethoscope to check if there are any heartbeats in the mermaid egg."
If the heartbeats are strong, it means the child is very healthy, with no problems whatsoever.
If the heartbeats are weak, then we must quickly return to the main star base, to provide special care for the child.
Qiao immediately responded and went to fetch the listening device to monitor the heartbeats of the mermaid egg, but as he listened, his expression grew increasingly peculiar.
He murmured, "How strange, this sound..."
Everyone’s heart hung in suspense!
Sheng An had also studied medicine, and she immediately said, "Let me listen again!"
Su Wan struggled to sit up, Pandora quickly supported her, even the projected Ouyang Qing and her medical team tensed up.
Following the procedure, Sheng An listened once more, and then she lifted her head and said, "Why do I feel that the heartbeat I’m hearing is sometimes strong and sometimes weak? Yet, it seems like there are two heartbeats?"
Su Wan: "I remember Teacher Lan Yu mentioning before that there are two possibilities in this situation. First, if the child’s heartbeat is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, they might have some congenital deficiencies. The other possibility is... it might be twins. One has a healthy body, stronger, while the other might be weaker."
It’s challenging for beastmen to conceive, and even more so for twins among them!
Originally, when Su Wan’s mother Lin Ranyue gave birth to twin sons, the elder, Su Yun, was a beastman and his physical condition was particularly unstable, so he was sent to the Beastman Nurturing Base.
The younger, Su Ni, was of pure human lineage and relatively healthy.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qing decisively said, "Xiaowan, your spaceship must return to the main star now, come to the medical center, you and the child both need to be thoroughly examined!"
"Yes."
Su Wan nodded, not forgetting to have Vermilion Bird send a message to Gu Jue, telling him that she and her child were safe.
But just as Su Wan had Vermilion Bird send the message, suddenly, on her hand that was resting beside her, grew a white Little Mushroom!
Many were unaware of the mushroom matter, but for members of Team Nine, they were very familiar with this kind of mushroom!
It was this very thing that had led them to that illusory space of Landis City!
Sheng An’s expression changed, "Xiaowan, what is this...?"
Su Wan stared blankly at the Little Mushroom in her palm, tears trickling slowly down her eyes...
"Ajue, something has happened!"
As if to confirm Su Wan’s premonition, Vermilion Bird said anxiously, "Master, I can’t get in touch with White Tiger!"
The last time the two had lost contact was during the incident in Landis City when they switched spaces and lost the ability to communicate; otherwise, with White Tiger and Vermilion Bird’s high intelligence levels and strong signals, it would be impossible for them to lose contact.
Concerned that Su Wan might lose her composure, Sheng An quickly said, "Xiaowan, it’s possible they are in battle on the other side, there could be some signal jamming, but don’t worry, let’s head back first, think about the child."
Su Wan took a deep breath, while asking Vermilion Bird to keep trying to contact White Tiger, she nodded and said, "Pandora, how is the battle situation on the protective layer side now?"
"There’s less than one layer of insectoids left, they were already showing signs of retreating when I came over."
"Then go and ask Commander Agros what our next mission for Team Nine is?"
Pandora replied, "My brother has already issued orders just now, we are to immediately return to the main star."
