Chapter 66

The Zerg spun their cocoons many years ago.

Modern Zerg no longer spin cocoons, allowing them to conserve more energy for growth.

On the day Toto spun his cocoon, other Zerg also spun their cocoons. They were placed side by side into silver-gray nutrient tanks to hibernate, like hibernating seeds waiting for the moment to sprout.

Of all the 'cocoons,' that one grew the fastest. Its bones developed little by little, its fingers grew longer and longer, and its rapid development revealed its thin ribs, which quickly became thick and heavy again, surrounded by nutrient solution.

His spiky, earth-colored hair transformed into a deep, dark raven color, and his thin, boyish body was gradually covered by the physique of a young man.

That youthful face gradually matured and became handsome in deep sleep, but it still looked somewhat naive and childlike.

I wonder if the color of my pupils will change when I open my eyes.

Fei was somewhat stunned. The guard coughed lightly a few times before he looked away and walked towards the next cocoon without changing his expression.

The guard officer, taking into account his superior's recent actions, kindly reminded him: "Sir, although I am not a traditional insectoid, you are being too kind to a male insectoid who is about to come of age. If word gets out, even if your ideal marriage partner doesn't harbor any resentment, she will inevitably misunderstand your character."

If I were to think about it more deeply, perhaps from the very beginning, when you personally took care of that child, you had already shown him special treatment. But due to long-standing habits, he refused to admit it. Perhaps you yourself are still arrogant, expecting anything that requires your attention to have a corresponding status and value.

In the past, he couldn't convince himself to care about a seemingly pathetic and weak character, a nobody in the Zerg social system, and therefore couldn't admit his own feelings.

The guard officer was terrified by his own imagination.

Fei paused, puzzled, and looked up at him strangely: "He's just a child."

The guard officer, with an exaggerated shrug and hand gesture, was speechless: "Sir, do you know that what you're saying right now really sounds like something a pervert would say if he were toying with male insects?"

Fiji:"……"

Fei knew Toto would wake up, but he didn't know when.

He would make sure he remembered the time Toto woke up, because apart from him, there was no other Zerg in the world who could care for him.

Congressman Madison had contacted him several times, promising many conditions before the spaceship landed, hoping to send Toto to a remote planet.

Fei had no objection to it, but when it came time to sign, he found it ridiculous.

He has no right to decide the fate of a free insect; any consideration based on that is an evil imposed by arrogance.

The ashes that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly flared up again. He sighed and shook his head, his beautiful cursive handwriting leaving a delicate mark on the paper.

【No】

He wanted to tell Senator Madison that the boy was kind and wouldn't go looking for his father and embarrass him.

Because he possessed that quality, that which was despised, looked down upon, and seemed easily attainable.

But that's not actually the case. That kind of quality is precious, comparable to a beautiful gem. It is a spark of humanity, and the Zerg who possess it should be proud of it, not feel hypocritical or unrealistic.

Choosing to help the weak when danger strikes, choosing to forgive when the female father leaves—how easy it is to hate and despise, all you have to do is throw everything away! But that child chose to accept it; he was stronger than Fei imagined.

Fei rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and then the gilded pen tip traced a sentence across the paper: "He is not the filth left by sin, but the flower of life's miracle."

The starship slowly sailed through the magnificent nebula.

Slowly, a sapphire-blue planet appeared ahead, surrounded by a misty, silvery-white ring.

The guards officer entered the command room. The tall and striking Zerg officers, dressed in crisp military uniforms, looked down at the approaching Imperial Star and conversed in hushed tones.

The sudden footsteps made the female soldiers with their keen senses turn around, and the young Zerg following the guard officer immediately came into view.

Fei slowly turned around, and when he saw who it was, his expression seemed to freeze for a moment. He frowned and said seriously, "What's going on?"

The guard looked left and right, then looked at Fei and shrugged innocently: "Uh, Your Excellency, you said you hoped to see him as soon as he woke up, so I brought him here."

The atmosphere became so tense it felt like ice had formed.

The officers looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.
