Chapter 26 How can I follow him and be with you insects...

"030, is he the target of the strategy..." Gu Zheyue tilted his head slightly, with a hint of excitement and inquiry in his eyes, and he murmured softly.

[Host, what do you want to do? ]

The system was extremely alert in its consciousness space, and warned cautiously:

The Zerg's Nest Clearing Director is no ordinary pirate. Please don't mess around. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to handle it.

Gu Zheyue did not reply. He just moved closer across the table, observing the insect in front of him carefully without blinking. Under the control of the mental tentacles, the female insect stood there blankly as if the pause button was pressed, with a sincere and solemn expression on her face.

The jellyfish tentacles tightly controlled Artemanthys' body, and Gu Zheyue could feel every inch of the other's texture through his mental power.

Even from the perspective of a visitor from another world like me, this insect is undoubtedly an extremely beautiful creature.

His figure perfectly conformed to the golden ratio, his skin and bones perfectly proportioned. The smooth lines beneath his tight uniform contained an undeniable power, like a dormant volcano, seemingly calm but poised to erupt with terrifying energy at any moment.

Looking up, the gorgeous eyes of this female mantis were like flowing aurora, and under the light, the pair of jade beads were almost clear and transparent.

His thick pink hair, slightly curly due to its fine texture, lay fluffy around his face, neutralizing his overly sharp temperament.

This eye-catching color stands out even among the colorful insect swarms, but it does not appear exaggerated on him at all, but rather like a contrasting embellishment.

Perhaps due to the box jellyfish's fear of red, after awakening as a guide, Gu Zheyue also initially disliked all shades of red. Later, in his memory, this hated color gradually took on a more complex meaning, often associated with misfortune and change, bringing endless pain and sorrow.

Yet, the soft hair of the female insect before him inexplicably stirred in him an urge to caress it. Gu Zheyue slowly reached out and grasped Artemantis's blood-soaked left arm. Then, as if possessed by some unpredictable force, he gently pierced the soft, bloody membrane on Artemantis's wrist with his canine teeth, and the tender green blood instantly soaked his mouth.

The taste buds experienced a bitter first taste, with a slightly spicy aftertaste, like a strange spice. Honestly, the taste wasn't particularly pleasant, but as if bewitched, Gu Zheyue subconsciously lowered her head and reached in, licking the wound left behind by "Saint Zachary" with her tongue.

The female insect's newly grown tissues instinctively resisted the invasion of foreign matter. Gu Zheyue felt that the tip of his tongue was about to be swallowed and assimilated by the warm flesh and blood. This feeling was both strange and bizarre, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily.

[Host, what are you doing? This is a one-way glass. There are still many Zerg outside. Wake up, ahhhhhhh!] The system finally came to its senses and let out a sharp explosion, and it frantically sounded an alarm in its consciousness space.

"Don't worry, I've been careful. My mental tentacles won't be exposed..." Gu Zheyue rubbed his numb ears, as if he was pulled back a little from his dazed state, but his voice was still mixed with a hint of intoxication that had not yet dissipated.

Even if this behavior doesn't reveal itself, it's still too strange! Do you still remember that you're a sub-female?

"He offended me, shouldn't I be asking for some compensation?" Gu Zheyue explained vaguely, then added, trying to cover up the truth, "He said that himself."

[Now that we've finally cleared ourselves of suspicion, please keep a low profile and leave as soon as possible! Remember the mission? Our journey is to the stars and the sea!]

"But he's been injured because of me. How can I just leave him alone..." Gu Zheyue pursed his lips reluctantly. He clung to Artemantis tightly and said confidently, "Didn't you say you would give me the maximum freedom within a reasonable range? I want to follow him."

"If they can't find the suspect, they'll go rescue the male insects that were captured by the pirates. The military females are definitely more capable than us acting alone. Besides, I still have a commission for the wings... The timing, location, and insects are all right. This is simply God's will. We can definitely follow along to gain experience points."

[No!] The system immediately saw through Gu Zheyue's inner thoughts. [This female soldier is absolutely the greatest threat to you from the Zerg! If other Zergs discover your situation, at most you'll be imprisoned and dissected. If the Nest Cleanup Department finds you, you'll be crushed to ashes!]

"Then I must stay by his side even more!" Gu Zheyue argued confidently, his bright eyes gleaming with a paranoid and crazy light: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Just look at the results of this operation. It's dark under the lamp."

030 stared blankly at the host's dodder-like arms tightening more and more, his greedy mental tentacles almost wrapping up and swallowing the female general whole: "I've made up my mind! 030, you will support me, right..."

…

The inspector stood solemnly outside the one-way glass window, watching Artemantis' every move. Seeing the blue-haired Zerg being slammed down on the table for inspection, he couldn't help but slam the table and angrily accuse her, "Is this how you, the Nest Clearance Department, conduct your duties? Do you still respect Zerg rights?"

"You must be mistaken. When did we ever have insect rights?"

The female soldier standing nearby looked at the special envoy in astonishment, as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke. She wondered what was wrong with him. "That's not how you find fault. Isn't the hive structure always one where males are at the top, females are in the middle, and sub-females are on the side? What's the matter? You're suddenly standing up for the sub-females?"

The one pressed on the table is a sub-female?

The special envoy's face turned pale, as if his throat had been suddenly strangled. He was choking, having just been so aggressive. The female insect was speechless, and finally sat back in her original position with a sullen look on her face.

Double standards!

The military female didn't hide her disdain at all, her eyes nearly rolling back. He secretly sneered that if this bug was really willing to argue for the sub-female, he would still look up to him.

As expected, all he talks about is morality, but all he cares about is profit - bah!

The Nest Clearing Agency is ostensibly the only privileged Zerg agency that can openly and violently suppress the Zerg, but strangely enough, there is very little discrimination here.

The Nest Cleaners were like a cold, law-enforcement machine, practically abandoning all social connections. Their mission was to indiscriminately eliminate anything detrimental to the stability of the population. Even the most aloof male insects would not be easily let off if they violated the rules.

Behind such powerful adjudicative power lie cruel shackles, the oversight of the special commissioners being only the most obvious. Countless eyes, both covertly and overtly, are glued to the scalpel that removes the rotting flesh. If an error is discovered, the wielder will surely die a more horrible death than the criminal being exterminated.

All the female nest-cleaners are ready to sacrifice themselves for the hive. Most of them will die of exhaustion due to lack of irrigation from male insect pheromones before that, but they are willing to do so.

All you do every day is find fault with the Nest Cleaning Bureau. How can we possibly build a good insect nest with a bunch of insects like you!

The military girl was heartbroken and complained indignantly in her heart:

We nest cleaners have long abandoned vulgar tastes, not to mention Director Hall, who is simply an ascetic and a staunch martyr!

Then he saw the officer, who was like a benchmark of justice, tear open the clothes of the beautiful Asian female without hesitation. In an instant, the air seemed to be stuck, and an awkward silence fell again.

"It's just a normal checkup," the female soldier felt her abdomen twitching slightly. She didn't know who she was explaining to, so she could only say stubbornly, "The Director must have discovered something unusual. Just wait, we'll catch that bug soon—"

The special envoy couldn't help but sneer. Although he was very disdainful of the military woman's words, he reluctantly agreed with her statement in his heart.

After all, the Nest Cleaners were extremely sensitive to all kinds of unusual events and almost never missed a beat, and Artemantis was the best among them. Therefore, even if he saw the female mantis army wielding a sharp sickle, he simply thought that the culprit should be executed on the spot.

Then a cold light flashed - the development of the situation was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, completely beyond their expectations, leaving the two of them completely stunned.

The soundproofing effect of the interrogation room was surprisingly good. Outside, one could only see a large pool of green liquid on the pale ground. However, any insect with common sense would know that this was definitely not the color found in the body of a dragonfly!

The blood was like a green swamp emitting a faint glow, exuding an indescribable weirdness.

Like moths to a flame, the special envoy and the female soldier simultaneously swooped towards the one-way glass. Their faces, nearly deformed by the pressure, were filled with shock, their eyes fixed on the unfolding scene without blinking.

No one knew what Artemandis had said, but the sub-female seemed to have been suddenly struck by a great shock. She stumbled twice, her body swaying like a candle in the wind. But then, without hesitation, she lunged at Artemandis, as if throwing herself into her arms!

The scene behind was blocked by the broad back of the female soldier and could no longer be seen clearly.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing——"

Bernie Byron was just about to report the inspection results to his superior when he saw this funny scene from afar.

"No way, Special Correspondent, you are too cruel. I'm just observing the interrogation. Is it necessary to get so close?" He complained speechlessly.

As he spoke, he reached out and forcefully tore off the female military colleague who was clinging to the glass like an octopus, and said angrily, "And you, what are you doing! Your eyes are almost popping out. Have you learned all the discipline by heart?"

The female soldier under his command seemed to have lost her soul at this moment, her eyes still glued to the glass, her lips moving slightly as if she had suffered a great shock.

"You're so scared, is the director going on a killing spree?"

Bernie muttered suspiciously, turning his head to follow the two insects' gaze. The female insect's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.

"Fuck, why are you still hugging me?"
