Chapter 8 Zerg World 8 Surrender? Or resist! ...
"You never know how shamelessly and despicably some bugs will go to achieve their own goals when you're gritting your teeth and insisting on upholding the so-called rules!"
This is what Alex said to his subordinates in the later part of the original text when he was completely evil. However, he didn't expect that now that the plot has just begun, he seems to have already experienced the depression, pain, and endless unwillingness of the female insect who was forced into a dead end by public opinion and dogma when she said this.
Why?
Why?!
Under the quilt, Alex's fists were clenched tightly together, as if he would fall into a violent state again in the next second, but he suppressed himself.
On the virtual screen glowing blue, the young general, who had not yet been completely suppressed by the empire and was still full of vigor, asked in a hoarse voice after a brief silence,
"Did His Majesty agree?"
"And... Marshal Saxony... did he agree as well?"
It was obvious that when Alex asked the second question, his tone and expression were much more hesitant than when he asked the first question, and it seemed that he cared a lot more.
[Nothing can be done. Even though the villain at this moment doesn't say it outwardly, he still deeply desires the approval and favor of the female father.] The system couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Sicheng didn't have anything to feel sad about.
After all, he had been a villain for so many years and had received such scripts a thousand times. It could be said that he could reproduce Alex's current psychological activities with his eyes closed.
In the final analysis, he is just another love-deprived child who was raised under a cruel upbringing.
Chu Sicheng leaned back in his chair, lowered his eyes to glance at Alex's slightly trembling fingertips hidden under the quilt, then glanced at his subordinate who didn't know how to answer Alex's question. He paused, then spoke casually:
"Why are you asking him? When the next video comes in, why don't you just ask the people involved directly?"
Regarding the supervision of a large prison, no matter how much the Insect King and Marshal Saxony favored the victorious Frederick, they had already agreed to his request in their hearts. On the surface, in order not to appear so dictatorial and to not disappoint other diligent military women, they would definitely seek the opinion of Alex, the current manager of Mogras.
but……
Chu Sicheng raised his eyelids and glanced at the female soldier who was wiping her sweat on the virtual screen, then chuckled lightly, full of irony.
"If you don't agree then, you're being naive."
After all, the female soldier who had been silent before but suddenly sent an urgent message to Alex at this time might really have the intention of complaining in her words, but more importantly, it was to make Alex mentally prepared.
Just like some live broadcast previews on the Internet, they tell you the content of the live broadcast in advance so that you can be mentally prepared, so that you can take money out of your pocket faster, right?
So, the military girl was video chatting with him at this time, just because the insect standing behind him wanted to use this opportunity to inform him to be more sensible, and after hearing the request, he just needed to nod and agree?
Alex looked at his subordinate on the virtual screen expressionlessly, "Is that so?"
"General..."
In Alex's abnormally calm tone, the subordinate was silent for a long time, and only managed to utter a greeting timidly. He clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed like he said everything.
"Oh."
Alex sneered, then leaned back against the bed and closed his eyes, as if he had lost all his strength at that moment.
"Back off."
At this point, what's the point of making things difficult for a female soldier who's just delivering a message?
Alex's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the indicator light on his wrist, which had just turned off and then flashed again, as if it was asking for his life. His lips parted slightly, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was asking Chu Sicheng next to him,
"Do you think he would really do that?"
Faced with the extremely weak female who had not yet completely ended her mental chaos, the first thing she did not think about was caring about him. Instead, she joined forces with the other insects to force him to hand over the power in his hands.
Would he really do that?
Alex lowered his head, his green eyes gradually becoming deep in the surging emotions. At the same time, his fingers on the optical brain tightened little by little, his flesh dented inwards, and gradually turned blue and white. Chong had no doubt that if he continued like this, he would directly cut his fingers, just like Chu Sicheng who took the initiative to hold the tattoo knife.
At this moment, a white and slender hand suddenly stretched out from the side, first moving his self-abusive hand away from the computer, and then tapping the screen with his fingertips, directly connecting to the video request that Alex did not want to face and was unwilling to face.
The virtual screen with a blue glow appeared before his eyes again. Then, a second before the screen appeared, Alex heard Chu Sicheng's answer:
"You'll know soon enough whether it will or not."
What's the point of just avoiding internal friction when encountering problems? They have to be solved sooner or later anyway, so it's better to face them directly.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see what kind of high-class flower was the one who treated the unattainable protagonist in the original text, who rejected and tortured the protagonist physically and mentally in the early stage.
As the aperture rotated, the magnificent hall of the royal family and several figures sitting on the podium appeared on the screen.
Alex had a stern face and didn't want to pay attention to any of the bugs on the screen. However, he was bound by rules and dogma. After struggling for a few seconds, he lowered his head towards the screen.
"Long live your Majesty. Alex Saxon offers you his warmest greetings."
"besides……"
Alex's gaze fell on the serious-looking female insect sitting below the Insect King. He paused for a moment before whispering, "Hello, Marshal Saxon."
It's ridiculous to say that they are obviously father and son, but they can only call each other by their military positions. Even so, during the years he served in the army, there were still many voices saying that he relied on his female father to reach this position.
His eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the sarcasm in Alex's eyes, but it failed to hide the oppressive aura emanating from him.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.
But none of the bugs on the screen noticed it, or maybe they did, but they didn't care.
The Insect King, sitting high on the throne, spoke cheerfully after Alex greeted him. He first expressed his concern for Alex's health, then changed the subject and talked about the recent war.
"You should have heard that the Empire achieved an overwhelming victory in this war against the alien beasts. All of this is inseparable from the efforts of you soldiers who stood firm on the front lines!"
"Of course, the person who made the greatest contribution to this battle was General Friedrich, who returned to the team despite being injured. I have to say, the young people today are truly amazing. Compared to us back then, they are even better than us!"
The Insect King said the following words to Marshal Saxony.
It seems that the evil insect this time will be Alex's father.
Chu Sicheng blinked twice, watching the Saxon Marshal on the screen, who smiled very gently at the Insect King and his colleagues, but turned gloomy when facing Alex, as if the other party owed him hundreds of millions. He kicked the bed lightly with his toes, and then when Alex looked over, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and opened his thin lips.
"Alex, we discussed this with His Majesty today. Since you've been in a manic phase recently and your mental state is unstable, we're proposing that Frederick temporarily help you manage Maugras. You should rest well first, and we'll discuss everything after you've recovered."
"What do you think of this proposal? Do you agree?"
The shadow of an insect flickered in the dark green eyes, and for a moment, Alex even thought he was hallucinating.
The male insect's mouth emitted the voice of his female father?!
This was either really his hallucination, or the male insect sitting next to him really predicted every word his female father had just said silently.
How...is this done?
At this moment, Alex even forgot to be angry at the bugs on the screen who were pretending to be angry and trying to put the blame on him even at this moment. He stared at Chu Sicheng with shock and disbelief in his eyes.
"Alex?"
"Alex?!"
It was not until Marshal Saxony frowned and called him several times that he came to his senses and hurriedly looked at the screen.
"Yes, female... Marshal!"
The affectionate name that was about to come out of his mouth was suddenly changed by the female insect's sharp eyes and turned into that official and cold military title.
The female insect nodded with satisfaction, then asked again, "So, what do you think of the above proposal? Do you agree?"
It looked like a question, but to Alex it was just an arrogant notice.
The fingertips finally left deep marks in the palm of his hand. The soft flesh in his mouth had been bitten when the female father opened her mouth. The smell of blood quickly filled his entire mouth and made Alex's throat dry.
He was somewhat speechless, but all the insects on the screen were looking at him, waiting for him, forcing him to nod, especially the female insect with gray hair at the temples, who looked 70% like him. The impatience in her eyes became more and more obvious in his silence.
Does he have any other choice?
Alex turned his head and looked at Frederick who was standing in the corner. He had not spoken since just now, with a cold and calm gaze, as if this silent coercion had nothing to do with him. He took a deep breath and then prepared to suppress himself and admit defeat again.
However, at this moment——
“That’s not good.”
A clear voice suddenly rang in his ears, and then a hand appeared on Alex's shoulder.
As the faint, irresistible citrus scent hit the insects again, a figure more arrogant and domineering than any other insect present appeared on the screen where Alex was the only insect present.
His blue-gray eyes flickered slightly, and Chu Sicheng's gaze swept across every insect on the screen until it fell on the female insect standing in the corner.
"My second trial was interrupted last time, and my final verdict hasn't come down yet. So I should still be considered a prisoner of Maugras. As a member of Maugras, I must also care about the prison administrators!"
"Of course, I agree with your proposal. General Saxon is currently in poor health, and it will indeed be more difficult for him to manage the prison, but—"
When the bug's eyes on the screen softened and Alex's eyes grew darker, Chu Sicheng suddenly changed the subject.
"That doesn't mean that a military woman with bad morals who likes to repay kindness with enmity, kick someone when they're down, and is more suitable to manage Maugras than him, right?"
Chu Sicheng blinked his eyes, raised his red lips slightly, and smiled brightly, just like the little male insect that reached out to him while pushing aside the garbage in the sunshine that day.
"Isn't that right, General Friedrich?"
