Chapter 128

In the channel.

Fireflies flew around them, especially the little ones.

The little bug stretched out his hand, and the flying fireflies naturally fell into his palm, just like other primitive Zerg.

The luminous white flying insects were only the size of a thumb, and like the dreamy fungal carpet hanging overhead, they emitted a faint glow, illuminating the entire passage.

Ahead, the light blue butterfly is leading the way.

The passage is not short and it takes some time to get out.

When the little bug was still an egg, it had been trapped in the space four floors underground in the Dead Egg Pit and had never gone out. Chu Xiu had never gone out since he was brought back. His understanding of the outside world came from the narration of Qi Heng, Yan and others.

Compared to the little bugs who know nothing, he knows more, so he understands that the world outside is not beautiful... The little bugs who are eager to go out will probably be very disappointed when they see it.

During the heyday of the Tianjia civilization, Tianyun Star, as the main star of the galaxy directly under Tianjia Star, was so prosperous that the word "prosperous" was completely inadequate to describe its beauty.

But now.

It is left with only desolation.

Walking out of the passage of the dead egg pit, the first thing Chu Xiu saw was the dense pile of insect eggs not far from his feet.

——A deep and large pit, filled with insect eggs.

"Don't look." Chu Xiu subconsciously raised his hand to cover the insect cub's eyes.

It was still afternoon, and the sun was gradually moving westward but had not yet completely set. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the lifeless insect eggs in front of them.

Only then did Chu Xiu understand what the "dead egg pit" that Yan and the others were talking about was.

"Female father?" The little insect cub, with its eyes covered, was a little dazed. It reached out to grab the female father's hand but was obedient and did not make any other movements.

Chu Xiu's skills are far from what they were in the past. Although his strength is gone, his techniques and body movements have long been engraved into his bones and turned into physical memory. Even if he doesn't remember anything, he will not forget it.

...After this period of training and practice, Chu Xiu was no longer troubled by such a slope.

He pressed the insect cub's head in front of him, and holding the insect cub, he nimbly jumped towards the edge of the dead egg pit above. In just a few blinks of an eye, he was on the dead egg pit.

"Female father." The insect cub's somewhat muffled voice came.

Chu Xiu turned his back to the dead egg pit, patted the back of the bug cub's head, and said to him, "Look."

The little bug raised its head and looked forward. The first thing it saw was the endless sky, floating clouds, and the golden sun.

He had seen all of this on his father's computer, and seeing it with his own eyes made it seem even more beautiful.

But...something seemed different? The bug cub looked at the rocks of all sizes scattered everywhere, things that looked like houses but weren't houses at all. It looked nothing like what was displayed on the computer.

There is no beautiful city. It is a mess everywhere. The wind blows sand everywhere.

"Father, the outside is different from what you showed me." The insect cub supported his cheeks with his two little hands, puffed up his cheeks, and could not hide his disappointment.

Chu Xiu knew what the bug cub was referring to and explained, "That's what this place looked like before."

The video showed a bird's-eye view of the largest city on Tianyun Star, the area beneath their feet. However, after the war, this place had long been destroyed... Even if it hadn't been destroyed, it would be difficult to see any trace of it after ten thousand years.

Chu Xiu didn't stay for too long.

Your Excellency the Overlord once mentioned that female insects would come to discard eggs that could not hatch. Although this happens less frequently during this period, it does happen.

It’s better to avoid encountering it if possible.

"Let's go somewhere else." Chu Xiu rubbed the top of the insect cub's head with his chin.

The bug boy raised his hands in agreement: "Okay."

Chu Xiu chose a direction different from the dead egg pit. He didn't want the insect cubs to see those dead insect eggs... The insect eggs that would be abandoned had basically lost their life activities. Even if there were a few insect eggs that still had a faint breath of life and might be able to hatch as the Lord said, they were extremely rare.

At least until now, Qi Lan has not sensed any of them. All it can sense is the remaining life energy after the insect eggs died.

The cold winter is gradually approaching. The plants in the wilderness have rich experience in survival. They firmly root their roots deep into the soil. The exposed parts wilt and turn yellow in the extremely cold temperature. They barely survive by relying on daylight and occasional rain.

The barren land is a light yellow-brown color and stretches as far as the eye can see.

Nestled in the arms of his mother, the young insect looked around, hoping to see more of the scenery. His face fell, and he grabbed his clothes and yelled, "Mother is so boring, so boring. Why does everything look the same? Aren't there any other insects out there???"

"It's nothing like what I thought it would be."

The location of the Dead Egg Pit is surrounded by wilderness, and the nearest forest is located in the wasteland dozens of kilometers away.

It was almost dark, and Chu Xiu definitely couldn't take the little bug cub that far. He said, "It will get better. It will be different in the future."

"As for the other bugs, we'll have a chance to meet them in the future." Chu Xiu said as he walked back holding the baby bug.

It was almost time to come out. He still had to go back to complete the task assigned by His Excellency the Lord and inform Yan and the others in the dungeon...

"It's time to go back."

"But it just came out not long ago." The little bug fluttered around, its two feet shaking.

Because they are used to staying in the underground space, the insect cubs have no habit of wearing shoes. After all, the ground in the underground space is flat and smooth, so it is no problem to not wear shoes.

"I'll take you out next time."

"Then can we go somewhere farther away next time?" The little bug's eyes lit up and said, "Let's go to the place where my brother said there are a lot of bugs, that's where my father is too."

Although Qi Lan has been staying underground in the Dead Egg Pit and has never gone out, the insects under his command are spread everywhere, and everything outside will be transmitted back.

In order to get rid of some troublesome little bugs, Qi Lan played some clips in the mental link as if it were a movie, so the little bugs knew that there was a gathering place very nearby.

Chu Xiu didn't answer immediately. The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he thought of the QW-1 module in his pocket.

"I can't give you a definite answer, but if possible, I will take you there next time."

"--Great, I knew the female father was the best." The insect cub hugged his face and kissed him.

…

The underground city site selection.

Chu Xiu came here immediately after sending the insect cub back to the fourth floor. He did not go to the Urban Construction Department, but placed the QW-1 module in a certain location according to the positioning of the optical computer.

The excavated soil was filled back in and covered with a layer of obsidian crystal fragments. Finally, the sticky insects he called over to wait nearby covered the last layer of soil, about eight centimeters thick, with a special mucus mixed with mud. After it dried, no one would be able to tell that something was buried underneath.

After he finished all this, he headed towards the Urban Construction Department.

On the other side, Yan and the others didn't know that Chu Xiu had returned. They were currently in the last class of the afternoon.

Practical training course.

Originally, Chu Xiu was in charge of teaching the class, but since Chu Xiu was not there today, Yan and the others had to take over.

After the class ended and the students were dismissed, Yan touched the wound on his face and hissed softly.

It has to be said that female insects are warlike at heart. Once a fight starts, no one cares whether you are a "teacher" or not. If you get beaten, you can only blame yourself for not being as skilled as the insects. There is nothing much to say.

"It's finally over." Mo Nan moved his arm. He had just been punched, but luckily there was no fracture.

"I wonder if the teacher has come back." Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"You'll know when you go back and take a look."

Yan and the others were walking back together. After opening the office door, they saw the 'Consul' sitting on a chair and waiting for them.

"Teacher, you are back."

After being taught by the 'Consul' for so long, they were a little awkward at first but are now completely accustomed to being called that.

"Yeah." Chu Xiu saw the wound on Yan's face, but didn't say much.

"I also brought you good news."

Mo Nan rubbed his arm and asked doubtfully, "Good news?"

"The day after tomorrow, you can let them leave." Chu Xiu glanced at the door as he spoke.

Yan was surprised. He didn't expect that something he was not sure about before would be confirmed all of a sudden. He smiled and said, "They will be very happy when they hear it."

Chu Xiu said calmly, "Don't be too happy too soon. Before that, they still have one thing to do."
