Gu Yunzhou was not interested in what would happen to these resources.
But since the Zerg dared to point their guns at their king, they shouldn't blame the machine race for being impolite.
As for protecting this planet.
Gu Yunzhou looked at Ji Zhaoming intently.
Just as his king would never impose conditions that would put the machine race in a difficult position, Gu Yunzhou was naturally willing to change the machine race's reputation for his king's sake.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Ji Zhaoming quickly said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Yunzhou said seriously, "It's very dangerous here."
Once the war truly begins, the Zerg will concentrate all their firepower on the machine race.
Even in death, the machine race will protect their king.
But Gu Yunzhou hoped that Wang could go to a safer place.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Will I become a burden?"
“No.” Gu Yunzhou didn’t give a perfunctory answer, but said clearly, “Well, just like in the book, ancient emperors would personally lead troops into battle. Even if you do nothing, it will still boost our morale.”
Moreover, after placing the king in a safe area, Gu Yunzhou would definitely need to send out some robots to protect the king closely.
Ji Zhaoming said, "Then I will follow you."
Seeing the rare expression of disapproval on Gu Yunzhou's face, Ji Zhaoming added quietly, "Anyway, I'm sticking with my boyfriend, so your refusal won't change anything."
Seeing that the machine race had not responded, the Zerg gradually reduced their firepower.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Yunzhou sent people to take the little fox and its brother to a safe area. If there were any people who wanted to come along, they were also taken to the safe area.
After doing all that, Gu Yunzhou turned around and asked, "Can I ask for a reward?"
She was so domineering when she wanted Ji Zhaoming to be her boyfriend, but now she's acting like a gentleman, asking for his opinion on everything.
Ji Zhaoming: "Hmm? What reward?"
Gu Yunzhou: "I want a kiss that comes from the start."
The key point of this sentence is the word "proactive".
Gu Yunzhou looked at Ji Zhaoming quietly, waiting for his reply.
Ji Zhaoming's face flushed red instantly.
The bombing outside was still going on. Inside, however, it was completely quiet, so quiet that Ji Zhaoming could clearly hear the two people's heartbeats.
One after another.
Three days is a trial period. Ji Zhaoming originally thought that the two of them could slowly move forward step by step, but Gu Yunzhou did not give Ji Zhaoming a chance to procrastinate.
Gu Yunzhou said in a low voice, "Is it not allowed?"
That's right. Even if it's a trial period, they're still a couple. Ji Zhaoming gritted his teeth and suddenly lunged towards Gu Yunzhou.
He kissed Gu Yunzhou on the cheek.
Because he rushed in too recklessly, his teeth accidentally touched Gu Yunzhou's face.
Ji Zhaoming apologized, "Ah, did I hurt you? I didn't... I've never kissed anyone else."
There is actually a difference between a gentle kiss and a more intimate kiss, but Ji Zhaoming pretended not to notice the difference.
A clear tooth mark appeared on Gu Yunzhou's face. He squinted and carefully felt it with his finger before shaking his head and saying, "It doesn't hurt."
Ji Zhaoming didn't believe it and gasped, "You have a mark here."
Gu Yunzhou laughed and said, "I am a robot."
Robots can adjust their own pain systems.
Moreover, humans are among the least lethal races. If robots could be easily injured, how could they live up to the reputation left by the machine race?
Ji Zhaoming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as Gu Yunzhou said, the machine race cannot be easily harmed, so in fact, they probably won't even leave a red mark.
"Chief, Your Majesty!" After organizing the materials, Gu He strode up to Gu Yunzhou, smiled at Ji Zhaoming first, and then began to report the situation to Gu Yunzhou.
Finally, Gu He said, "The robot that went to pick up the fox has returned to the team. Everything is ready and we are waiting for the leader's instructions."
Gu Yunzhou said, "Have the robots heading here directly go to the Zerg's lair. How many people are in the safe zone?"
"20%?" Gu He shrugged indifferently. "Most races still don't trust us."
After all, the machine race arrived late, and the fact that 20% of the people were willing to listen to them was already far beyond Gu Yunzhou's expectations.
He hummed in agreement, then asked, "Where is the city lord of this planet?"
Even the most dilapidated planets have their own hierarchical systems. Even though the machine race doesn't care about the planet, Gu Yunzhou's understanding of it still exceeded everyone's expectations.
Gu He said awkwardly, "The leader just remembered this... The city lord here ran away on the first day we arrived."
"Charge the protective shield first."
Gu Yunzhou invited, "Master hasn't been to our control room yet, has he?"
The control room was located on the basement floor. There wasn't even a single light in it. Ji Zhaoming had no choice but to follow closely behind Gu Yunzhou, turning down the winding staircase until the door was opened, before he could catch a glimpse of the control room.
The room was filled with a high-tech feel, and Ji Zhaoming didn't know where to put his hands, so he could only continue to follow Gu Yunzhou into the room.
In the very center of the room, there is a reclining chair with a dull crystal on it, which is covered by a huge glass dome.
Gu Yunzhou explained, "This is the energy stone responsible for the outer rainproof cover."
A stone that all races covet, yet the machine races take it for granted.
In the eyes of the machine race, this stone wasn't even as beautiful as... well, the fireworks set off for the king.
As soon as he finished speaking, the energy contained in the energy stone in front of him was completely exhausted, and it turned into a cloud of powder in front of Ji Zhaoming before disappearing into the air.
"Ah..." Ji Zhaoming said, "It just disappeared like that?"
Gu Yunzhou stepped forward: "It looks exquisite, doesn't it?"
Gu Yunzhou reached out and grabbed a wisp of nothingness in his hand: "However, an energy stone without energy is just a wisp of air."
Ji Zhaoming noticed the mountain of energy stones piled up beside him and asked, "Are you going to put these energy stones on the chair?"
"Want to try?" Gu Yunzhou bent down and casually placed a dozen or so energy stones into Ji Zhaoming's palm.
Ji Zhaoming couldn't catch it with one hand, so he had to use both hands to hold it, afraid of breaking the treasure, and carefully placed it into the recliner.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the immense pulling force inside the glass enclosure, as if it wouldn't stop until it shattered him to pieces.
Ji Zhaoming hissed and quickly placed the energy stone into the recliner.
However, in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so energy stones turned from their gleaming appearance into nothingness.
Ji Zhaoming had witnessed the most beautiful form of the energy stone, and it was precisely because of this that he felt regretful about its dissipation.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Did I put it wrong?"
“No.” Gu Yunzhou shook his head. “It seems the Zerg used something big.”
Another loud bang.
The outer rain cover cracked again.
Gu Yunzhou removed his upper body clothing, revealing a well-built and powerful upper body.
Gu Yunzhou has a physique that looks slim when dressed but muscular when undressed. Normally, you wouldn't notice anything special about him; you'd just think he's a natural clothes hanger. But once he takes off his clothes, you can see the energy hidden within, and his hormones are palpable.
Gu Yunzhou said, "The energy in the energy stone is too weak."
Even if you pile up a lot of energy stones, it's fine under normal circumstances, but to cover such a large planet, and with the fierce attack of the Zerg, the fact that the energy stones can last for the blink of an eye already shows that this batch of energy stones is of high quality.
He leaned back in his recliner.
Upon detecting a person, several "arms" automatically extended from the recliner, firmly restraining Gu Yunzhou's body, and then many tiny lines appeared.
“Master,” Gu Yunzhou suddenly called out.
This thing looks like it's in a lot of pain, so Ji Zhaoming quickly replied, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Gu Yunzhou said softly, "Please close your eyes, Master."
Um?
What kind of strange request is this?
Ji Zhaoming wanted to refuse, but when he met Gu Yunzhou's firm gaze, he had no choice but to give up.
With eyes closed, the senses become exceptionally clear, and the sound of Gu Yunzhou's breathing gradually diminishes.
Where Ji Zhaoming couldn't see, Gu Yunzhou's flesh and blood rapidly disappeared, completely transforming him into the appearance of a robot.
He was willing to occasionally revert to his robot form in front of Ji Zhaoming, but he didn't want to appear at this moment.
This would make Gu Yunzhou feel that his king was too far away from him.
The tiny lines extending from the recliner insert themselves into the heart—though there is no heart here, only the central nervous system.
For robots, the central mechanism is an important energy source that supports the machine body. Even Gu Yunzhou would feel uncomfortable if the energy were extracted from it.
He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed, his lips pressed together, and his gaze turned to Ji Zhaoming.
"Energy replenishment is ready."
"Energy is being replenished, please do not move around."
Energy replenishment: 1%
"..."
Energy replenishment: 20%
Gu Yunzhou withdrew his gaze and pulled the wires from his body directly from the central hub. The thin wires crackled with electricity, but Gu Yunzhou remained unfazed.
The wounds on his body began to heal quickly, and he returned to his original state.
Only Gu Yunzhou knew just how uncomfortable it was to have some of his energy drained.
But he didn't want Ji Zhaoming to worry.
