Chapter 062 Are You Willing to Die for Me?

"Xiao He, our living space is shrinking," Brown Bear said to her. "We've been fighting the Zerg with all our might, but look! Our high technology, our civilization, our glory—it's all gone. Nothing is left. Sooner or later, the dust and the Zerg will devour us too."

Jiang He saw the despair in his eyes.

"Xiao He." He half-knelt and grasped her sleeve. "I've saved up a lot of meat. I want to marry you, become your husband, and have children with you. We can't kill all the Zerg on our own, but we can place our hopes on the next generation."

Jiang He's gaze fell on his expectant eyes. She reached out and brushed her fingers across the scar on his face left by the insect mother.

At that time, they fought back to back, trying to kill the insect queen, but ultimately failed. They returned in a miserable state, covered in wounds.

Many people died in the village in that battle. Since then, no one was willing to kill the insect queen anymore. Anyway, those insects could not enter this small village. They just had to go out and kill some insects and carry them back when food was scarce to ensure their survival.

She felt everyone's emotions. They all wanted to live comfortably and didn't want to make any more unnecessary sacrifices.

But she didn't expect that even brown bears would think so.

The brown bear's large hand covered the back of her hand. Her palm was covered with calluses from years of handling knives, but he still coveted the warmth from her palm. "Xiao He, I've saved up a lot of meat."

In the village, insect meat is used as a betrothal gift when marrying a wife. The more meat a young man has, the more popular he is.

The brown bear is tall and brave, and has always been the first choice for the girls in the village to marry.

The dried meat he had saved was enough to marry a wife, but he thought that if he wanted to marry the village chief, he would need to have twice or three times as much meat as other girls.

Having said this, he seemed to have gained courage and confidence, and looked up at Jiang He, "Xiao He, I will build a big house, I will kill more insects, I..."

The joy in his eyes gradually dissipated when he met Jiang He's gaze.

He saw the disappointment on her face.

"But I never thought about having a husband." Jiang He pulled her hand back. "I don't need a husband."

There was a rustling sound outside the door. Jiang He got out of bed, pushed open the door, and stared at Da Zhuang and Da Shu who were lying outside.

"You two little brats, why are you running here instead of sleeping?"

Dazhuang remained lying on the ground without moving. He looked up at her eagerly and asked, "Village Chief, what do you need?"

The night sky is full of stars, but her face is brighter than the stars.

Jiang He thought about it and said, "I don't know."

The big tree asked, "Village Chief, is there anything you don't know?"

"Of course." Jiang He smiled and reached out to touch his head: "There are many things I don't know either. Maybe when you grow up, you can help me answer them."

When Lan Hu sneaked out of the house, he saw Jiang He kindly and lovingly patting A Jing's head as if he were a little kid.

He nearly suffered cardiac arrest.

It turns out that killing by patting the head is real, but it was him who was killed.

Damn, what kind of magical world is this!

Although he was running wild in his heart, Lan Hu still looked at Jiang He with a little hope, "Training camp?"

Jiang He glanced at him and asked, "Is your brain okay?"

She walked up to Lan Hu and tapped him on the head: "Let grandma take a look at your brain. Don't let it cause any root cause of illness, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get married in the future."

Lan Hu: "Fuck, you're the one with a mental illness. You all have a mental illness."

As the only sober person, Lan Hu was so angry that he jumped on the spot, wishing he could slap two big slaps in everyone's face to make them wake up quickly.

As we have discussed before, everything in the ruins is a virtual world operated by the core energy.

Lan Hu couldn't understand this advanced vocabulary at first, but after Jiang He and others became "addicted" to the characters in the virtual world, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Isn't it just playing games? He thinks he is a character in the game, playing day and night until he is obsessed with it. Isn't this his reaction when he got into the game during his middle school years?

Lan Hu had experienced being addicted to playing games and forgetting himself. He stepped back with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Jiang He and the others coldly.

Waiting for them to die in the game, both in love and in character.

Brown Bear came out of the house, and Blue Tiger immediately ran to his side, "Brother Bear."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that this was not the brown bear he knew.

The brown bear turned his head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." Lan Hu lowered his head in frustration. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up again and asked, "Brother Xiong, how's your proposal to her going?"

Brown Bear pursed his lips and said nothing. The old woman behind him came out and sighed, "Why is the village chief so stubborn?"

"What a stubborn woman," Lan Hu said. "No one is more stubborn than her."

The old woman nodded in agreement. "The village chief has such good genes. If he could mate with a brown bear, the offspring would surely be very powerful. Who knows, they might even be able to kill the insect queen."

Lan Hu: "You don't look that good, but you think you're pretty."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Lan Hu spread his hands: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

The old woman raised her cane and hit him, "You unfilial son, how dare you say that to me? I'm going to die of anger."

Lan Hu was beaten with a cane because he had a mother out of nowhere, and no one came to his aid.

Fortunately, after having a mother, Blue Tiger is fed with all kinds of strange snacks.

The old lady’s cooking skills are the best in the village, and Jiang He Brown Bear and his friends often come to eat with her.

Whenever the old lady saw them, she would sigh and say, "It seems Hu Zi's brain has really gone bad. There's no hope for him to marry Hua Hua."

Lan Hu was sitting on the doorstep, eating from a large bowl. He rolled his eyes when he heard this. "What's so good about Huahua? She's fat, dark, and ugly."

Huahua, a young girl passing by, happened to hear it. She waved her fists and chased Lan Hu around the village for the whole afternoon.

When there is enough food in the village and the villagers don't need to go out, they will gather at the entrance of the village to chat, bask in the sun and take a nap.

Lan Hu, who was passing by, was not happy. "Look at you guys. You're just like the pigs in the pen. If you get fat one day, you'll all be slaughtered and eaten by the mutant bugs."

He then pointed at the gossiping women on the stage and said, "Look at you all, you have shifty eyes, almost like idiots. Even if you had brains, you would be even dumber than these brainless freaks."

Everyone: ...

It was a dark and windy night, and Lan Hu, with a bruised face and nose, knocked on Jiang He's door.

He glared at Jiang He and said, "These guys are so stupid, they'll all be eaten by the mutant bugs sooner or later. When will you wake up? I don't want to waste a minute here. If you don't wake up, I'll give you two big fights!"

There is nothing that a big fight can't solve.

Jiang He grabbed Lan Hu and brought him to the old lady.

The old lady gave Lan Hu two big slaps.

Lan Hu was unwilling to throw away an old fellow like Grandma. Grandma held the back of his neck and spanked him with a cane. He stiffened his neck and turned his head to yell at Jiang He, "You idiot! Are you blind? Look at these guys! Their brains are as stupid as dog shit! They want to let those bugs go, but will the bugs let them go? Hahaha, idiot, you idiot."

Memories that seemed to have happened in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.

Those memories that had been suppressed deep in his mind and never seen the light of day, emerged clearly in his mind after so many years.

"Brother, there's no way to kill all the bugs, so why should we? Can't we just stay away from them? As long as we stay away, we can have nothing to do with these bugs in the future."

"Brother, Dad is dead, Mom is dead, my sister and brother are dead, please let's leave here, please, as long as we leave we won't die, I want to live, I want us to live together."

"Brother, those bugs are evolving. When they evolve into humans, will they become the same species as us?"

"Brother, I rescued a girl a while ago and let her recuperate in our potato cellar. She was a Zerg. I told her that Zerg and humans shouldn't fight each other. She thought I was right and said she would tell her parents when she got home."

"Brother, don't look for her anymore. She's gone. She said she would convince her parents."

"Brother, why are you hitting me? I refuse to accept it. You can survive without killing, so why do you insist on fighting the Zerg to the death? I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, all of you should leave. I won't leave here. I'll wait for her to come back. She said she would bring her parents to negotiate with us. I believe she wouldn't lie."

"Brother, please don't die. Please don't die. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was cowardly. I was naive. It's all my fault. I killed everyone. I deserve to die. Brother, please don't abandon me. Please come back to life."

…

The end of my memories is filled with red blood: the blood of my loved ones, the blood of my beloved, the blood of my friends, the blood of my companions...

It was only after seeing so much blood that he understood why his brother and friends were so paranoid.

It made him realize how stupid he was.

But it's too late!

He stared at Jiang He in front of him with red eyes, "They will be eaten by insects. This is not a paradise where you can hide from insects. This is a cage set by insects. Wake up, you idiot! Stop wasting time on these idiots. I want to go back."

He saw the people here smiling happily and looking forward to the future. Even though he knew they were not real people, he still thought of his ignorant self from them.

Jiang He stood by and watched him being beaten without saying a word.

Lan Hu was so angry that he yelled again: "Can't you please persuade this old woman to stop beating me? I'm going to be beaten to death!"

Lan Hu was beaten to death by the old lady and slept very uneasily in the middle of the night. In a daze, he realized someone was applying medicine to him.

It was the old lady who was applying the medicine on him with her dry and skinny hands, trembling.

The old lady is old, and there is almost no warmth on her hands, only dry and hard skin.

She thought Lan Hu was asleep, and sighed, "Everything has its replacement. Those insects will take over the planet instead of humans. Mom knows you are right, but I don't have many days left to live. I want you to live longer."

"Auntie doesn't want you to be eaten by bugs so early."

Lan Hu kept his eyes closed and didn't open them. He was pretending to be asleep.

He didn't dare open his eyes to respond. Even though he knew that the old lady was a character in the game and was virtual, he still coveted this little bit of warmth.

"Brother Huzi, what are you doing?" Xiao Ma peeked outside Huzi's room early in the morning. "You must have been beaten up badly. Here's an egg for you. My little white flower just laid it today. It's fresh."

Lan Hu lay on the earthen kang and glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Brother Huzi, why are you so stubborn? What are you thinking? In order to marry the village chief, you are really unconventional."

"Get lost, what's all this nonsense in your head? I won't marry her. I won't marry any woman. I just want to kill the Insect Mother."

Xiao Ma sighed, "That's impossible. The Worm Queen can't be killed. Even if she were to kill her, a new one would appear."

He saw Lan Hu raise his head and look behind him. He turned his head and saw the village chief standing behind him. He stood up quickly and said, "Village chief, would you like some eggs? The little white flowers just laid eggs this morning. They are fresh."

He gave the eggs that were meant for Lan Hu to Jiang He.

Jiang He took the egg. Xiao Ma looked around and saw the village chief's stern face. He made an excuse and ran away.

Lan Hu was furious when he saw the woman. "What? You want to beat me up again? Beat me up as much as you want, and then get out of here right away."

"Let's go kill the insect queen together." Jiang He looked at him, "I have a way. If successful, we might be able to kill all the insects."

"What method?"

Jiang He: "Sandworms, sandworms like to eat deformed worms."

Lan Hu: "But sandworms are only found in the village. They never leave the village."

Faced with doubts, Jiang He didn't intend to explain any further. He raised his chin slightly and asked Lan Hu, "But I can't do it alone. I need someone to help me. The chances of survival are slim. There's no coming back. Are you willing?"

"Why wouldn't I be unwilling? I'm totally willing."

Although he questioned Jiang He's method, Lan Hu answered without any hesitation.

Jiang He stared at him, "Grandma will cry herself blind because of you, and maybe even lose the will to live because of you, you..."

Lan Hu interrupted her, "Stop talking, I'll go."

When the old lady came home, Lan Hu cooked a meal for her. His meal was not very tasty. It was just a broth of insects and meat with some dried vegetable leaves as a garnish.

An old man and a young boy held their bowls and sat on the doorstep, eating with relish.

"Does your butt still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Don't talk nonsense next time."

"good."

"Don't blame Mom."

"Never blame."

"Silly child, next time I hit you, remember to push your mother away and stay away."

"good."

That night, Lan Hu met Jiang He at the village entrance.

"Let's go." Lan Hu stared at Jiang He in surprise. "I really admire you. You're quite courageous."

"You too." Jiang He turned his head and took one last look at the village. "If this succeeds, they can all survive."

Lan Hu thought of the trembling old woman and nodded in agreement.

Jiang He went to the nest of the deformed insects and ran fast in the desert with Lan Hu.

The night was cold and the starry sky was beautiful.

Lan Hu asked her: "Sandworms can't leave the village, how did you bring it into the Zerg nest?"

Jiang He turned around and laughed, "I'm the village chief, the sandworms listen to me."

Yeah?

Anything could happen in the game, so Lan Hu didn't think much about it. The suggestion of killing the insect mother made his chest pound.

God knows how much he wants to kill the insect queen; this is his motivation to survive.

Even though he knew that this was a virtual game-like existence with no reality at all, and even if he could really kill the insect queen, it would not be true, his heart was still beating wildly.

Even if it's fake, he will kill it!

The two cooperated with each other to kill into the nest of the deformed insects.

Jiang He turned to him and said, "Do you believe me?"

Lan Hu rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, why would I follow you here if I didn't believe you?"

Jiang He: "Are you willing to give me your life?"

Lan Hu: "If you have something to say, just say it instead of talking nonsense."

Jiang He: "From now on, protect me at all costs. Even if it means death, you must protect me all the way to the worm mother's belly."

She reiterated: "You will die for me."

Lan Hu: "Okay, I got it."

There were deformed insects all around. Lan Hu was covered in blood and protected Jiang He step by step to the belly of the insect mother.

One of his arms was cut off and half of his face was almost gone.

He threw the deformed insect that was rushing towards him to the ground, turned his head and saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.

The woman's body disintegrated like sand, turning into countless sandworms that scattered on the worm mother's belly.

Her flesh, blood, bones, and hair all collapsed into sandworms in an instant.

She only had time to look back at him, and just as she opened her mouth to speak to him, her body fell apart like sand.

Those sandworms quickly burrowed into the mother worm's belly and reproduced indefinitely.

The mutant worms reproduce very quickly, but they still follow the natural reproduction rules, but sandworms do not.

They are normally no different from sand, and only when they encounter deformed insects will they devour the deformed insects and reproduce.

The deformed worms dared not approach the village, not because of the people among the village chiefs, but because of the sandworms in the village.

Sandworms look like ordinary sand to humans, few people can distinguish them, and they will not leave the village.

At that moment, Lan Hu suddenly realized that what she had said before about the sandworms listening to her was a lie.

She found a way to take the sandworms out of the village, using herself as a carrier.

The huge and ferocious worm queen was quickly turned into a huge pile of sandworms by the sandworms, and these sandworms devoured all the deformed worms around it.

"Where is she? Where did she go?"

The brown bear stumbled in, grabbed Lan Hu's arm and asked, "Where's the village chief? Where is the village chief?"

Lan Hu is dying. He knows that he is about to die. After dying here, will he be truly dead?

Rushing into the insect nest and killing everyone, killing the insect queen and making the insects extinct, this is his lifelong dream.

Now, do it virtually.

Even though I'm dead, I have no regrets.

After all, in the training camp, he could never leave Star A62.

He looked at the brown bear in front of him, which looked panicked and helpless.

He thought he finally understood the difference between this brown bear and his bear brother.

"Your village chief doesn't want a man who wants to have children with her. She wants a partner who can give her his life."

…

Jiang He's mind was in a mess, with countless characters rushing through his mind.

There was a lot of chatter all around, and a lot of people were talking.

But she couldn't hear what they were saying.

#It's not that I'm really confused, how did this village appear out of nowhere, and why did Baba become the village chief? Please help me figure it out, woooooooooooooo#

#Me too, I came here to see the aesthetics of violence, or at worst, just one woman and multiple men. If that's not enough, I can also watch bestiality. Now this is like a suspense mystery, my brain is broken#

#I have a guess: during the day, they entered the village as a ruin, but at night, it became a real village. Is it possible that the village switches modes depending on the day or night? Of course, it's also possible that they set out to replay the scenes in the ruins, and after entering the village, their memories were forcibly altered, making them think they were part of the village.#

#But Blue Tiger still remembers everything, why did he become an exception, ahhh where is my Hayate now, I am so obsessed with their mother-son relationship, I even secretly became a fan of Tiger Mom...but my favorite before was Bear Bear#

#I'm also a fan of Tiger Mom and her bug babies. Oh my god, what's going on now? I can't even sleep at 3am, just waiting to see what will happen next. Who in my family understands? I have to get up at 5am tomorrow to catch the bus#

#My boss is dead, she's dead. When she swallowed handfuls of sandworms into her mouth, I felt something was wrong. I didn't expect her to die. I was about to collapse. I burst into tears at three o'clock in the morning#

#The village chief is so in love, she doesn't want to have children and rely on them to kill the Zerg, she wants to kill them herself, she doesn't need a husband, she needs a friend to die with. The carefree Tiger Mom understands the village chief better than anyone else, I even want to pair Tiger Mom with Tyrant#

#BaBa is dead, and Tiger Mom is also dead. What should Blue Baby do? My Jifeng has lost both his parents at such a young age. He is so miserable. I am crying my eyes out.#

#I can’t sleep anymore. If Baba dies, I’ll uninstall Abyss#

#I also uninstalled the Abyss#

#What unforgivable crimes did people like Tiger Mom and Baba commit to be sent to the key training camp? Why don't the authorities release detailed information about these prisoners in the training camp? I believe what I see with my own eyes. I believe that Baba and Lanhu are definitely not the evil people the authorities say they are, unless the authorities provide their criminal records.

#The question above has really hit home for me. I've always wanted to ask why their criminal records can't be made public. Is there some shady deal going on? #

#同crouch#

#同crouch#

#Take me with you, I want to be in jail too. My sadness has all turned into anger. I want their criminal records!! #

#Goodness, no one cares about the robots#

#The post about robots above is next door. There are many floors of it. You can go and have a look. The analysis by netizens is very reasonable.#

…

#Hurry up, go and see, Baba is awake#

"0112, how are you?" Wang Boming turned his head and asked Jiang He who had opened his eyes.

Jiang He's head was shaking a little, as if it was in the clouds deep inside, swaying and unreal.

She found herself lying on a stretcher, surrounded by several prison guards.

"0112, you can hear me, answer me." Jiang He's gaze was drawn back by the voice of prison guard Wang Boming. She stared at Wang Boming's prison guard uniform, and her scattered focus gradually solidified.

"Here!" She tumbled down from the stretcher, stood up straight and saluted. "Excuse me, sir, what are your orders?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground because he only had one leg left.

The prison guards around laughed, but Jiang He didn't feel embarrassed at all. She stared at her empty legs, confused.

Wang Boming: "Tell me everything you experienced in the Pioneer ruins."

Pioneer ruins?
