Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Looking at Carlos leaving, Xiao Wei, who had been watching him from the beginning until now, twitched his mouth.

How could he not know that Carlos was so confused? Who was the one who said he would teach the black-haired female insect a lesson when he came here? And who was the one who was now smiling like an idiot and following the female insect?!

"Do you still need me to stay?" asked the female insect wearing a patrol uniform next to Xiao Wei.

"Need not."

Xiao Wei looked at the direction they left and roughly guessed where they were going. He waved to the female insect beside him and followed them.

As he walked, Xiao Wei pondered why Carlos was so concerned about this black-haired female insect. Last time, he not only sent a female insect to follow her, but also had another female insect keep watch in the trading area, alerting her immediately if she appeared.

The thing they have the most is all kinds of female insects. They have whatever they want, so is there any need to bother with so much effort?

But Carlos has been extremely concerned about this black-haired female insect named Qi Heng since the first time he saw her. According to Carlos himself, "I can't take my eyes off him whenever I see him." This kind of corny words simply refreshed Xiao Wei's perception of him.

Xiao Wei didn't want to be discovered following them, so he followed them carefully.

Unfortunately, his tracking skills were so poor that he was discovered by Qi Heng just as he was catching up.

Because it was inconvenient to look back, he asked A0 to take action.

A0's analytical ability was so strong that it almost immediately posted Xiao Wei's photo on the system interface. He also pointed out that this was the male insect that was with Carlos last time, and that he had just been standing in the corner stalking him.

"This is my home. There are no other bugs here."

Carlos walked to the door of the house and opened it, then said to him nervously, "Come in."

There are many houses standing in rows on the west side of the trading zone. Qi Heng thinks the exterior is a bit plain, but in a place like the trading zone, which can be described as a backward slum, it can barely be called beautiful and elegant.

Like the houses with yards where the unicorns live, these supplies are also independent.

Qi Heng didn't refuse, he followed Carlos into the house.

The system's previous range scan of the entire trading area included the entire trading area, including, of course, the buildings in the trading area.

These seemingly solid buildings, which seem out of place in District 49, are not made of cement bricks or metal, but a simple building material that can be directly spliced ​​together.

——It is an imported product that cannot be produced on Tianyun Star.

The unicorns have the best living conditions, followed by males, and the worst are females. This can be seen from their living environment.

However, in Qi Heng's opinion, such a living environment is not even comparable to that of ordinary families on Earth.

The system scanned the entire interior of the house. In addition to the small living room where he was staying, there was also a bedroom.

Qi Heng found a stool and sat down. His attitude was so natural that Carlos didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Would you like some water?" Carlos poured water into a silver metal cup and placed it in front of him.

"Just say it." He didn't touch the cup of sleep and said bluntly, "Sending a female insect to follow me and monitor my whereabouts to tip you off, isn't it just to spout useless nonsense?"

Carlos choked. He felt embarrassed and ashamed when his deeds were revealed. He was so embarrassed and ashamed that he even forgot to ask why Qi Heng only knew how to follow him.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to be friends with you."

Qi Heng glanced at the window and said, "It's so boring hiding outside. Do you want to come in and listen?"

"What?" Carlos looked at the window in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

Xiao Wei, who was hiding under the window and eavesdropping, froze when he heard Qi Heng's words. He was hesitating whether to leave or stand up openly when he saw Carlos appear in the window.

"Xiao Wei? Why are you here?" Carlos was surprised to see Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei raised his head and looked at Carlos' face, showing a smile of being caught, patted the dust off his clothes and stood up.

"I'm just concerned about you."

"Seeing you took that female insect away, I was worried you might be in danger." Xiao Wei said, "Don't forget what that female insect said last time."

Qi Heng's threat was still ringing in his ears, and Carlos was still a little frightened when he recalled it, but when he turned his head and looked at the female insect sitting there calmly, he suddenly felt relieved.

"You're overthinking it. Okay, okay, just stop bothering me."

"He wouldn't dare do anything to me."

Xiao Wei glanced at Qi Heng through the window and knew that Carlos said that because he wanted him to leave so as not to disturb him.

A female insect really doesn't dare to do anything to a male insect unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

"I'm overthinking it." Xiao Wei rolled his eyes and said, "I'll just leave."

Carlos sent Xiao Wei away and returned to Qi Heng: "No one will disturb us now. It's just us."

"Ahem, let's get to know each other again..."

Qi Heng looked at Carlos who was approaching him and quickly grabbed the other's neck.

"Well, it's really just us."

Carlos, who was unable to make a sound, widened his eyes, not expecting him to do that at all.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Even in a dungeon, killing male insects would cause a lot of trouble. He had just started this game and didn't expect it to end so quickly.

Qi Heng was taller than Carlos. He grabbed the male insect's neck and dragged him into the bedroom like a dead dog, then threw him on the bed.

Carlos wanted to shout as soon as he was free.

Of course Qi Heng would not give him this opportunity. He casually threw out a knife, and the sharp blade brushed past Carlos' cheek and stabbed into the wall, successfully stopping Carlos who wanted to shout "Help".

Carlos' scream was stuck in his throat, his eyes wide open as he stared at him, his body stiff and not daring to move.

As a male insect, Carlos has never been treated like this before. The fact that he didn't pee his pants out of fear shows that he has good mental strength.

"What do you want to do?" Carlos swallowed, glanced at the blade stuck in the wall, and said calmly, "Don't do anything rash. If anything happens to me, you will definitely not be able to escape."

"Xiao Wei knows that the last person I saw was you..."

Carlos' intuition told him that it was still safe, otherwise he would not have the courage to talk to the ferocious female insect in front of him.

"I won't kill you."

Carlos couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't going to die, and then he heard the second half of Qi Heng's words.

"After all, it's too troublesome to deal with the corpse."

Carlos couldn't help but shudder and forced a smile: "Yeah, it's very troublesome to deal with." So don't kill yourself.

"I have something to ask you. Answer me nicely and I won't do anything."

"Yes, yes, I will tell you everything as soon as I know." Carlos said without thinking.

Qi Heng stood in front of Carlos with a faint smile on his face, not caring whether Carlos' cooperation was fake or not.

"Compared to the clueless females who are kept in the dark, you should know more about the secrets behind Area 49, such as why females are required to continuously lay eggs to reproduce new Zerg species..."

When Carlos heard his words, his face turned pale for an instant.

I learned a lot from 058, some of which were about male insects.

As male insects that are also kept in captivity, they have the opportunity to come into contact with the unicorns because of their different "division of labor". Some things are secrets to female insects, but to male insects, they just turn a blind eye.

"There are so many discarded insect eggs, insect cubs with clipped wings, and female insect cubs that are picked like objects in the dead egg pit. Don't say you don't know anything about it." Qi Heng said calmly.

Carlos finally discovered what was different about Qi Heng in front of him and other female insects. He had confidence that other female insects did not have, and the attitude when facing him was the same as when facing any other insect.

Under his gaze, Carlos, who had nowhere to hide, felt a little embarrassed: "What do you want to know?"

"I heard that all the male insects have been to Area 1, and the underage male insects are kept there." He heard this from 058.

"Tell me about it. I'm very interested in District 1."

Unfortunately, 058's status is very low among the One-Horned People. Since he was exiled to Tianyun Star for more than 40 years, he has been doing errands in District 49 and has limited knowledge of the information in District 1.

"Area 1... Why do you want to ask this?" Carlos was stunned. He never expected that he would ask this.

"It has nothing to do with you. You just need to tell me what you know." Qi Heng looked at the [Dream Beginning] skill that was activated when the mental power was above D level on the interface and said, "Don't lie. I have a way to verify whether what you said is true or not."

The environment of Tianyun Star makes it impossible to use sophisticated scientific instruments, but since Tianyun Star is connected to the outside world, there must be a communication channel to the outside world.

058 said that when he was first exiled to Tianyun Star, he first arrived at Area 1, and also saw the scientific research base in Area 1. Moreover, the genetic medicine of the unicorns must be injected in Area 1... Maybe the Zergs being transported out also need to go through Area 1.

In this case, he must go to Area 1.

There are the most male insects in Area 1. The male insects from all areas will be gathered and sent there, which is very convenient for brainwashing or doing other things.

Under Qi Heng's threat, Carlos did not dare to resist and told everything he knew about District 1.

But what Carlos didn't know was that the moment he began to tell the story, an illusion woven by mental power covered his spiritual body.

In the illusion woven by mental power, many things that Carlos himself had forgotten were shown to Qi Heng, allowing Qi Heng to better understand the internal structure of Area 1.

At the same time, Qi Heng discovered something that answered his previous doubts.

[Brain closure technology, how did they do it?]

Qi Heng walked in the underground tunnel, tapping a few points on the rock wall, talking to A0 in his heart.

The most important thing is that after sealing the brain area, it did not cause serious damage to the male insect's brain - the brain area cannot be sealed just like that, if it is not done properly it will either cause death or madness.

However, these male insects seem to be quite normal except for their lack of mental power.

[Your Excellency, perhaps they have mastered technology that we are unaware of.]

Carlos' memory includes a scene of him working on a laboratory table when he was a child, but he lost consciousness after being injected with a drug, which prevented Qi Heng from knowing what happened next.

The male and female Zerg of the Tianjia Zerg are different. They are born with brain regions that are open. And a brain region that is naturally open cannot disappear later in life, but Carlos's brain region is indeed closed, and it can only be caused by something done to him.

[Sir, move upwards ten centimeters, three times.]

Qi Heng moved his hand upwards and tapped three times.

The rock wall moved, revealing a car hidden behind it. The front and rear wheels looked similar to a motorcycle.

This car is the vehicle of the mayor of District 49 and is used to travel between District 49 and District 1.

Now he got a bargain.

[I'll leave the trace analysis to you.]

[Yes, Your Excellency.]

The underground passages are interconnected, and it is not easy to find the route to Area 1. A0's powerful analysis function comes in handy at this moment.

As long as there are traces left in the channel, it can analyze every detail.

I don’t know if it’s because Tianyun Star is too backward, but there are no chains for the vehicles behind the rock wall. After Qi Heng pushed the car out, he restored the wall to its original state without disturbing anyone.

A0 was in charge of directing the way in the spacious underground tunnel. After he got used to the speed and posture of the motorcycle, he drove towards Area 1 at a very fast speed.
