Mermaids (13)

"Little girl, what's the point of following Number 7?" Number 13 leaned against the wall with his arms folded.

She was wearing a black and white puffy skirt, her long hair tied into two ponytails hanging naturally along her shoulders, and her round apple face hadn't grown out yet, giving her a very cute lolita vibe.

She was obviously not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she acted like an old woman and called Wen Qiuqiu a little girl, which made her look even more funny.

The place where the two were seemed to be a laboratory, with some experimental equipment scattered in the corner and two empty experimental chambers placed side by side in the back.

The light in the room was not very bright, but the bright white metal walls on both sides could illuminate this small space.

Wen Qiuqiu was tied up on a metal chair, with her hands tied behind her back and only her legs barely able to move.

Hearing Thirteen's words, she said without hesitation, "She saved me."

Thirteen immediately raised his eyebrows, "The red spider lily also saved you. If it weren't for the red spider lily, you would have died long ago."

Wen Qiuqiu's affairs are no secret among the Jade Card holders. As one of the few people who have awakened the ability of companion dual mimicry, she is a relatively valuable research subject.

However, there are many research results about the Purple Lantern and the Colorful Jade Waist in the Red Spider Lily. She is not an indispensable experimental subject, so it is normal for the doctor to order her to be disposed of.

The reason why many Jade Card holders were concerned was that the doctor had dealt with many experimental subjects who tried to defect, and no one could escape his killing order. Only Wen Qiuqiu was saved by Number Seven.

Number Five has always disliked Number Seven. After knowing about this, he has been saying a lot of bad things behind their backs. Number Thirteen was not interested in this matter at first, but later he thought about it and became very angry.

She didn't understand why the Doctor was so tolerant of Number Seven?

To make an inappropriate analogy, it seems that only No. 7 is his biological child, and the other jade card holders were picked up, but it is obvious that each of them is stronger than No. 7.

Wen Qiuqiu gave her a strange look. "It was clearly the red spider lily that destroyed my family, so how can you say you saved me?"

Number Thirteen was suddenly speechless. She only knew that a traitor like Wen Qiuqiu was saved by Number Seven, but she didn't know what she had experienced specifically.

She thought about it, but was unwilling to be silenced by Wen Qiuqiu's words, so she said fiercely, "If it weren't for the red spider lily helping you transform your mimicry, you would still be an ordinary waste."

Wen Qiuqiu didn't understand how her train of thought worked, and said speechlessly, "Then I'd rather be an ordinary piece of trash."

Although her parents are ordinary people, they love her and her brother very much. Her little home is very warm and there are no noisy or bad things. It is just one of the thousands of ordinary families in the Federation.

If it weren't for the sudden change, she wouldn't want extraordinary power at all.

Number Thirteen opened his eyes wide in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why a capable person would be willing to be a waste.

Before she could think this through, she suddenly heard Wen Qiuqiu ask back, "I see you're younger than me. Are you loyal to the doctor because he saved you?"

Thirteen immediately raised his chin. "Of course. The place where I grew up was plagued by insects. It was the Doctor who saved me. He also helped me improve my mimicry potential and gave me the power to kill the Zerg."

Wen Qiuqiu was moved when she saw how proud she was.

If Number Five had discovered that she possessed the Purple Lantern, he had directly caused an insect plague to cause her to lose her family, and then taken advantage of the situation and appeared as a benefactor, instead of allowing the researchers of Higanbana to coerce and bribe her, she would have had no idea that everything she encountered was planned by others, and she would probably be grateful to Higanbana for saving her like Number Thirteen.

Wen Qiuqiu didn't think the doctor would be so merciful as to save an insignificant person. There must be something special about No. 13's mimicry.

She followed Thirteen's words and said, "Then he's quite good to you."

Number Thirteen was even happier and looked at her more favorably than before.

Wen Qiuqiu sighed, "It's a pity that he wasn't the one who saved me back then. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have threatened me like Number Five did, and I wouldn't have thought that all the people in the Red Spider Lily were vicious and evil."

"Number Five threatened you?" Number Thirteen became interested, then quickly curled her lips. "That girl has always been arrogant and looks down on everyone. Threatening you is exactly what she would do."

"But she's long since disappeared. I don't know which of her enemies killed her."

At this point, she gloated, "Who knows, maybe Number Seven just didn't like her and secretly killed her behind the Doctor's back."

Wen Qiuqiu had heard Xia mention that Number Five was dead before, so she wasn't surprised at all when she said this. Instead, she pretended to be surprised and asked, "She's dead?"

Now it was Thirteen's turn to be puzzled. "You didn't know? Before she died, she stole the stars and things from Seven. Aren't you Seven's lackey? She didn't even tell you that your enemy was dead?"

Wen Qiuqiu showed a hesitant expression, as if her faith was wavering. She murmured softly, "She said that Number Five is very difficult to deal with and won't be able to help me get revenge in a short time. She said that she would wait for me to help her get—"

Halfway through her words, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly closed her mouth, with a look of confusion between her brows.

Number Thirteen narrowed her eyes instantly, thinking she had found her weakness. She deliberately said, "It seems she also had ulterior motives for saving you. It's just that she did it more covertly than Number Five, and she's more deceptive. Ultimately, she still wants to use you."

Wen Qiuqiu's defenses seemed to have been broken down by her. Her drooping eyelashes trembled, and she retorted harshly as if to comfort herself, "No! She must be not telling me for my own good."

Number Thirteen raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me, why is she doing this for your own good? Isn't the death of your enemy a great joy for you? You can no longer bear the heavy hatred, but she deliberately concealed this fact and still wants you to work for her."

She pressed forward, ready to conquer the girl in front of her who looked already vulnerable.

If the Doctor knew that she had instigated Number Seven's lackeys to rebel, he would definitely be very happy, right?

The confusion on Wen Qiuqiu's face became even more intense, her brows were completely furrowed, and her head was shaking slightly, as if she was trying to convince herself to ignore the facts in front of her and believe "Number Seven's lies."

Number Thirteen added fuel to the fire, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask Number Seven yourself later. I want to see if she dares to continue to distort the truth."

She knew enough, closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, as if she didn't want to waste any more time on an insignificant traitor.

Wen Qiuqiu's drooping eyes flickered slightly. She waited patiently for three to five minutes before finally biting her lip and looking up, as if unable to bear it any longer. "Why are you telling me this? We're not related, so I might not believe you. This is unnecessary."

Thirteen thought to herself that something was up, but she didn't show it on her face. She raised her eyelids and said impatiently, "Just think of me as someone who has nothing better to do than eat."

After saying this, she thought of something that bothered her and couldn't help but speak ill of Shi Jianxia.

"Hmph! Number Seven, that girl, thought she was so great just because she helped the Doctor solve a few troublesome problems. She even said I was stupid and unworthy of the Jade Token. At that time, she was just a piece of shit who couldn't even use mimicry. What qualifications did she have to point fingers at me?"

Wen Qiuqiu thought that Xia Xia's evaluation was quite accurate.

She bit her lower lip and whispered, "She's not that kind of person."

Thirteen couldn't hold it in any longer and glared at her with dismay. "She's always saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. Have you been drugged by her? You're still speaking for her now?"

"I...I...I didn't." Wen Qiuqiu tried to refute, but her words lacked confidence.

She hung her head in silence, and two lines of tears flowed down, falling on her pants.

Number Thirteen had never expected that she would start crying so suddenly. She was stunned for a moment and even a little panicked.

She immediately raised her voice, "Why are you crying? It's Number Seven who's using you, not me! Do you think I'll sympathize with you if you cry in front of me? Stop dreaming!"

Wen Qiuqiu seemed frightened by her and shrank her neck, but her tears fell even more fiercely, and soon her pants were soaked. "No, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect her to lie to me. She was so nice to me... I trusted her so much, how could she lie to me?"

After she finished speaking, she cried even harder, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered from being deceived recently.

Number Thirteen clenched his fists and unclenched them in bewilderment. Finally, he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he took out a pack of paper from his space bracelet and threw it on her legs. He then found that her hands were tied tightly, and she couldn't wipe the tears and snot from her face at all.

She bit her back teeth viciously, thinking that if this lackey knew the true identity of Number Seven, he would definitely not be willing to work for her again.

The lackey was only a level five ability user, and couldn't make any waves in front of her. He simply untied the rope and said in disgust: "It's so dirty! Clean it quickly! Don't get in my eyes——"

Before she uttered the last word, she smelled a faint floral scent. Just as she was wondering where the fragrance came from, her hand holding the rope suddenly became weak.

Number Thirteen's pupils dilated as she looked at Wen Qiuqiu in disbelief. Before she could see her face clearly, a green flower vine wrapped around a bottle of potion and splashed it on her face.

His wrist, which was originally a little weak, suddenly became as soft as noodles. No. 13 fell to the ground, moving his lips to speak, but found that he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

Wen Qiuqiu held the weakness potion given by Shi Wuyu and sighed that it was really effective.

She looked at Number Thirteen, who was lying face up on the ground, trying to open her eyes but could barely even lift them. She half-knelt down and poured the remaining layer of weakness potion in the bottle onto her face, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'm sorry."

Number Thirteen is about to explode with anger!

But she couldn't use any strength at this moment, and could only watch Wen Qiuqiu take her space bracelet and put it in her pocket, and then take off her puffy skirt and exchange clothes with each other.

The two are about the same height. After changing their clothes and tidying up a bit, you can't tell the difference unless you look closely.

After disguising herself, Wen Qiuqiu looked down at No. 13, whose eyelids were about to droop, and decisively helped her up and slashed the back of her neck with a knife.

No. 13 completely fainted, and Wen Qiuqiu carried her out of the room.

-

"Renxin Hospital?" Shi Jianxia frowned slightly, feeling that the name of this hospital was somewhat familiar.

She searched her mind carefully and remembered that when she went to Mosasaur to take the midterm practical exam, the abandoned hospital she found in the insect-occupied area was called Renxin Hospital.

There are so many hospitals, it is normal to have the same name.

Gongye Jiwang nodded, and Yinglong happened to be carrying them to a stop above a large hospital.

In the small square in front of the hospital stands a huge stone tablet with four large characters "Renxin Hospital" written in a flamboyant style.

The hospital is under renovation and is not receiving any patients. The construction robots have not been affected by the Zerg invasion of Tianchen Star and are still working diligently according to pre-set procedures.

The noisy and shrill noise spread inside and outside the building, and the entire construction site looked nothing special.

Military hovercraft followed closely, surrounding the hospital in three layers inside and outside, making it impossible to get in or out.

Su Xunyang, dressed in combat uniform, walked out of one of the hovercrafts, and Ji Yang got out behind him.

After the previous underwater battle, the two looked quite embarrassed.

Su Xunyang's headband was cut off, and a small part of his hair was missing. There were obvious scars on his strong arms, and there was a bloodstain on his chest. It was obvious that he had experienced a tough battle.

Although he looked embarrassed, the arrogance and majesty between his brows were not diminished in the slightest. His sharp eyes like an eagle still made people feel uneasy.

Because Ji Yang overused his mimicry talent, he looked listless, with faint dark circles under his eyes, and his calm and composed temperament was greatly reduced.

At that time, Xia He and Gong Ye Ji Wang were not much better.

Especially Gongye Jiwang, his lips were pale and bloodless, his clothes were stained with blood, and there was a cut on the side of his face. No one knew when he was injured, and the blood that flowed out had already coagulated.

Shi Jianxia did not participate in the battle head-on and was protected by the power of the star core, so his injuries were relatively minor, and only the loss of his mental power was serious.

The two men landed on the ground and walked quickly towards Ji Yang.

Su Xunyang's mental power swept through every corner of the hospital, but he didn't sense any living creatures. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"

There are many people and eyes in the hospital. Would Higanbana set up its base in such a place?

Shi Jianxia took out a palm-sized purple lantern. The small flower swayed gently and tilted towards the direction of Renxin Hospital.

She nodded and said, "It is indeed here."

After receiving Wen Qiuqiu's reminder, they rushed to Renxin Hospital without stopping. Pei Qin also wanted to come, but he was afraid that the bee-faced man would attack the people without his restraint, so he did not follow.

Ji Yang looked around the entire hospital, and like Su Xunyang, he found nothing.

Shi Jianxia explained: "My friend was taken away by the doctor's people when she came to Tianchen Star with me. She is currently the person most likely to come into contact with the nest of Higanbana on Tianchen Star."

"Let's just go in and take a look. This hospital may not be as simple as it seems." Gongye Jiwang suggested.

There was no other choice now, Su Xunyang and Ji Yang nodded.

Su Xunyang thought of the doctor's extraordinary third-level combat power and expected that if they really met, it would be a tough battle. People with insufficient strength would become a burden, so he said: "I will lead the others in, you stay here."

Especially Ji Yang, she has a special identity and is in a very bad condition now. If something happens to her, the Federation will definitely be in big trouble.

Moreover, someone needs to be guarding outside to prevent the people from Higanbana from taking the opportunity to escape.

When Shi Jianxia was about to speak, the purple lantern in her hand shook again, and the soft stems and leaves touched her palm, quickly writing a line of words -

There's no one here, just come in and go to the fifth underground floor.

No one?

Shi Jianxia was stunned for a moment, then told Ji Yang and Su Xunyang the information conveyed by Wen Qiuqiu.

The two were very hesitant, and Su Xunyang asked worriedly, "Is it possible that your friend has been controlled?"

It is not ruled out that the information conveyed by Wen Qiuqiu might be a trap set by the doctor. After all, he placed a large number of cameras everywhere in Tianchen Star. Although the signal was poor due to the gathering of Zerg, the situation at that time could still be monitored by him.

Shi Jianxia thought quickly and shook his head.

"Even if she's under control, the doctor can't be sure what information she'll convey to me. There's too much room for manipulation here. There's no need for him to take such a huge risk by luring us here and exposing himself to a possible counterattack."

All it takes is to make the bee-faced man go crazy, and even with Pei Qin around, Tianchen Star will become a purgatory.

Jiang Jiuhan was taken away by No. 4, and Wen Qiuqiu was taken away by No. 13. He saw with his own eyes that Xixi followed Jiang Jiuhan, so he naturally knew that she knew Jiang Jiuhan's location.

The doctor is best at exploiting her weaknesses to threaten her. Since Jiang Jiuhan is destined to be a victim and Wen Qiuqiu will become a new bargaining chip in his hand, he must have imprisoned them in two completely different places.

After he and Jiang Jiuhan exchanged positions, he would definitely leave the place immediately for safety reasons, but he was seriously injured and might not dare to move around on Tianchen Star where the Zerg were rampant.

Moreover, he took away the bee-faced man's child and used it to create this insect plague. He was probably afraid that if he carried the bee-faced man's child with him, the insect would come to him. The slightest mistake would get him into trouble. The possibility of him coming to Renxin Hospital was almost zero.

Ji Yang also thought of this and said decisively: "Don't delay, let's go in directly."

The situation couldn't be any worse than it is now. If the bee-faced man can't find his children, everyone will be buried with him.

Su Xunyang led the way, and the military special forces team immediately followed, searching every corner of the hospital. The working programs of the construction robots were shut down one by one, and the noise gradually disappeared.

The group took the safe passage to the fifth underground floor. The bloodstains and uneven marks on the walls made them frown.

Only Shi Jianxia felt that the marks were very familiar. He remembered that he had seen the same marks when he entered Renxin Hospital for the midterm exam. However, the marks at that time were very old, the bloodstains were almost dried, and most of them were left by parasites.

The bloodstains in front of me are very fresh and there is no rotten smell. It can be seen that they were made not long ago.

She suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "Those enhanced people who ravaged the interstellar port got out from here!"

There would be no such coincidence in the world. Renxin Hospitals on different planets happened to have traces of battles between enhanced humans.

Ji Yang has already heard Zhuang Mingyue's report on matters related to enhanced humans. The Xia family of Canglong Star is also under investigation, and there are some clues. The results will be out soon.

But before she had the time to read the investigation report, she received news that the doctor was plotting to seize the core of the star. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, she hurried to Tianchen Star.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Xia family of Canglong Star is colluding with the red spider lily, and the controller behind Renxin Hospital probably also has a close relationship with the red spider lily.

She said, "I'll arrange for a detailed investigation of Renxin Hospital later. Marshal Jiang Wenzhan is currently dealing with the bases of Higanbana throughout the Federation. The military and the Zerg Investigation Department will work together to eradicate Higanbana."

After confirming the authenticity of the map of the distribution of the Higanbana forces provided by Shi Jianxia, ​​Zhuang Mingyue privately sent people to monitor and investigate each stronghold. Because it was necessary to ensure that the information was not leaked, the process took a lot of time.

Shi Jianxia heard Zhuang Mingyue mention this matter.

During the brief conversation, the icon of the fifth underground floor appeared in front of everyone. The passage was long, deep, and pitch black, making it impossible to see the camera's situation. The doors of the rooms on both sides were all open, and the ground was vaguely visible with abandoned experimental equipment.

Obviously, the people who were originally staying here had already evacuated in advance.

For safety reasons, Shi Jianxia released several sacred mountains and let them go forward to explore the situation first.

After a while, Kunlun Mountain, which was flying in the front, sent a message that Wen Qiuqiu had been found.

The group immediately walked forward, and after turning a long corridor, they saw Wen Qiuqiu carrying the tied-up No. 13.

She was wearing a size 13 black and white knee-length skirt, her hair tied in two ponytails hanging down her back, and small leather shoes on her feet.

This outfit, which was completely different from her usual one, made Shi Jianxia stunned for a moment. Then she looked at the unconscious No. 13 and immediately gave her a thumbs up.

He went deep into the enemy's lair without getting hurt and even tied up No. 13. Even the doctor probably couldn't have imagined that this would happen.

Wen Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her. She didn't rush to tell her story, but pointed at the closed metal gate and said, "The larvae you're looking for are inside."

She fished the jade card number 13 from her pocket and placed it in front of the metal door.

A dark red light lit up and fell on the enchanting and mysterious red spider lily on the jade plate. The red spider lily seemed to be injected with vitality, echoing with the dark red light, and stretching its petals naturally and wantonly.

After a while, the tightly closed metal gate slowly opened, and dim light came out from inside.

Ji Yang and Su Xunyang stared at the jade token in Wen Qiuqiu's hand, recognizing it as the identity certificate of a senior member of Higanbana, and then turned their attention to Number Thirteen who was being carried by her.

After Wen Qiuqiu knocked No. 13 unconscious, he was about to leave immediately, but when he reached the end of the corridor, he unexpectedly found many researchers in white coats directing robots to carry enhanced humans.

The Colorful Jade Waist's invisibility ability could only conceal her movements, but not her body shape. The corridor was in a mess, and if she rushed in rashly, she would probably be discovered, so she retreated.

She quietly observed the robots' transportation. A large number of enhanced humans were transported out, and in the end, only this door was left untouched.

After the researchers left, she had a hunch that the tightly closed metal door contained something extraordinary. The researchers ignored it not because the idea was unimportant, but because it couldn't be opened or could not be opened.

Given that No. 13 had no intention of taking her away when the researchers were moving the enhanced human, Wen Qiuqiu guessed that No. 13 might be waiting for someone, or might need to avoid other researchers to take the things in the gate.

She studied the metal gate for a long time but couldn't figure out how to get in.

Later, she suddenly remembered that Shi Jianxia had used the jade card to pass through the underground building of the anonymous trade fair on Nan Tengxing without any obstruction. Thinking of giving it a try, she took out the jade card number 13 and tried it. Unexpectedly, it really worked.

The space inside the metal gate is not large, and it has a very conventional laboratory layout, but there are not many experimental equipment. There is only a small half-meter-high experimental tank on the laboratory table in the central area.

The experimental tank was filled with an unknown liquid, most likely culture medium or something like that, and a fist-sized amber insect egg was floating in it.

The eggs are opaque, so people cannot see how developed the larvae inside are.

Wen Qiuqiu carried No. 13 and said, "When I came in, it happened to move a little, which scared me a lot, but it didn't move after that."

Su Xunyang's scrutinizing gaze fell on her, "How do you know it's the bee-faced man's insect eggs?"

When asked this question, Wen Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously cast her gaze towards Shi Jianxia. After she nodded, she pursed her lips and said, "I can hear a strange sound wave, and that sound wave is naturally translated into human language in my mind..."

"This insect egg is calling. It has been calling for its mother intermittently."

As soon as the words fell, the strange sound waves appeared again.

"Mom...Mom...I'm hungry..."

"Mom...Mom...hungry...hungry..."

Shi Jianxia heard it.

It was intermittent, very weak, and looked like I might die at any moment.

Su Xunyang already found it extremely strange that Shi Jianxia could communicate with the Zerg. Now Wen Qiuqiu jumped out, and he was a little unsure what was going on.

Shi Jianxia confirmed, "This is indeed the Bee-Faced Man's child, and it keeps crying out for food and is very weak. We'd better return it quickly."

If the larvae of the bee-faced man died here, it would not only wreak havoc on Tianchen Star, but would even massacre the entire federation.

With its capabilities, it is also possible to summon a large number of advanced Zerg to launch a full-scale invasion of the human universe.

"Hungry... Mom... Mom..."

"Hungry……"

As the sound waves continued to come, the larvae became weaker and the amber eggs gradually became transparent.

Shi Jianxia frowned, "Oh no! It's failing!"

Wen Qiuqiu was startled. "What should I do? I'm not going to die, am I?"

In her understanding, the vitality of the Zerg is usually very tenacious. Even without energy intake, they can enter a dormant period. Only when they are starving to the point that all the energy in the Zerg crystal is consumed will they die of natural exhaustion.

Ji Yang and Su Xunyang were also confused.

How could it have collapsed so quickly when it was just fine? They had no idea how to save the Zerg larvae.

Gongye Jiwang, who had been observing the laboratory, suddenly said, "Look here, there's a label..."

[Type: Unknown Zerg Egg]

[Level: Suspected 3S level]

[Note: Needs to be fed with blood and supplemented with star core energy]

He quickly read out the contents on the label, and the two words "Star Core" successfully made Ji Yang and Su Xunyang's eyes fall on Shi Jianxia.

Among all the people present, only her "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was powerful enough to absorb an entire star core, and in the process of absorbing the star core, her body was transformed by the power of the star core.

Gongye Jiwang stood in front of her and said, "Let me do it. My mimicry was also awakened by the power of the star core. I will feed it."

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to cut his wrist to let the blood flow, but Shi Jianxia raised his hand and held it.

"Let me do it. After all, the star core power you absorb is limited. You can't tell how much blood you'll lose. Besides, you just got seriously injured. Don't try to show off your strength now."

If Gongye Jiwang hadn't been worried about her and insisted on following her, Shi Jianxia would have said she didn't want him to make this trip at all.

He had no idea how pale his face was now. His condition was even worse than after the battle with the Butterfly-faced Man on Xiaohan Star. Even the White Tiger had returned to his spiritual power spring to dormant, which showed how much damage he had suffered.

She was different. She was always protected by the power of the star core. Although she was injured, it was nothing compared to Gongye Jiwang.

Shi Jianxia didn't give him a chance to speak. He directly summoned the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and used the power of the star core to cover the experimental jar. After making sure that the insect eggs had no possibility of escape, he opened the experimental jar, cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it. His stinginess was eye-catching.

Nonsense, she is not the mother of this larva, and she is not responsible for feeding its belly. She just needs to make sure it doesn't die.

Gongye Jiwang was stunned at first, then he raised the corner of his lips slightly and gently pressed the wrist that he was about to cut with his fingertips.

He seems... too honest.

When Shi Jianxia's blood dripped into the experimental jar, the weak insect eggs smelled the food and moved immediately.

it works.

The people surrounding the experimental tank couldn't help but hold their breath.

Pulled by an unknown force, the drop of blood did not spread in the culture medium, but remained dripping and quickly swam towards the insect eggs, and was absorbed by them in the blink of an eye.

The transparent state of the eggs was relieved, and the strange sound waves came again -

"Mom...Mom...hungry...hungry..."

Shi Jianxia was speechless and dripped two more drops of blood into it.

The insect eggs absorbed them in the same way and gradually turned back into amber. Like a well-fed bear child, they swam around in the nutrient solution, continuously emitting the sound waves of "Mom, I'm hungry."

Seeing that it had changed from its previous listlessness to become lively and energetic, Shi Jianxia immediately withdrew his hand and replaced the lid. Under the focused gaze of everyone, he picked up the experimental jar and said, "Let's go and give this little bug to its mother."

The insect eggs swam around in the nutrient solution, and actively moved towards Shi Jianxia's palm, which was pressed against the experimental jar, and rubbed it seriously.
