Yan Su didn't say anything. He glanced around and saw several unfamiliar small tools. Yun Luo was holding one in his hand as well.
Yun Luo's hands were full, one holding a small shovel for digging the soil, and the other holding the spiritual plant seeds that had not yet been planted. Suddenly, Yan Su picked him up in the air. He had no foothold for his hands, so he could only let him move.
"What is the young boss doing?" Yan Su asked.
"Plant something," Yun Luo shook the spiritual plant seeds in his hand, "Put me down quickly."
Because of the action just now, Yun Luo's hands were covered with dirt. Yan Su looked at Yun Luo's hands, thought of what the housekeeper said to him before coming, and let Yun Luo go.
Yun Luo was confused by his actions. Now that he was free, he was about to squat down and plant the seeds in the dug hole, but his hand was held by Yan Su.
The man's hand was a circle bigger than Yun Luo's, just enough to hold Yun Luo's hand in his palm. Yun Luo could feel the warmth coming from Yan Su's hand.
This wasn't the end of it. Yan Su reached out with his other hand to grab the small shovel from his hand. Yun Luo pursed his lips and his voice became colder: "What are you doing?"
"Let me help you plant, and you just tell me what to do." While Yun Luo was not paying attention, Yan Su snatched the small shovel from Yun Luo's hand.
Seeing the man's resolute attitude, Yun Luo simply let go: "Are you here to help me plant these?"
"Of course not," Yan Su rubbed Yun Luo's forehead with the back of his hand, "but since I'm here, I naturally won't let you work alone."
"I'm not tired." It's just planting a few seeds. Even if the entire manor is filled with plants, Yun Luo will not feel tired.
"It's not a question of whether I'm tired or not." Yan Su smiled and said, "If possible, I'm willing to do everything for you."
Yun Luo really couldn't persuade this man and could only teach him little by little.
Fortunately, Yun Luo has already prepared everything necessary, and now all he needs to do is plant the seeds.
This step is not difficult. Yun Luo set up a small spirit gathering array at the planting site. As long as the array is there, the place where the spiritual plants are planted will have a constant supply of spiritual energy. Yun Luo just intends to use this small area to test the waters, and the workload is not large.
Under Yun Luo's command, Yan Su dug several more pits of varying sizes and depths. He said he wanted to help, and he was very serious about helping, without any perfunctory intentions. Every step was strictly carried out according to Yun Luo's requirements.
He made a small planting incident appear to be like killing enemies on the battlefield.
"Is this okay?" At Yun Luo's request, Yan Su added a little soil to make the deep pit shallower.
Yun Luo measured it with his eyes and nodded: "Okay."
He took out the spirit plant seed from the spirit-locking bag. It was a dark brown, finger-sized oval seed with a faint glow flowing on it.
Yun Luo put the seeds into the dug hole and filled the hole with Yan Su.
The seed is just this small, and the hole needed is not big either. During the movement, their hands will touch each other from time to time.
Yan Su lowered his eyes and looked at the young man who was working seriously. His soft black hair slid down from the young man's neck, part of it curled up into the young man's collar, and most of the rest hung in the air.
Yan Su's fingertips were itchy, and he really wanted to pick up a strand and put it to his lips to kiss it.
Yan Su liked Yun Luo's hair very much. Every time he got close to her, he couldn't help but pick up a strand to play with it, or kiss the skin covered by the black hair, leaving red marks.
"What are you doing?"
Yun Luo's voice interrupted the man's thoughts. Yan Su pulled himself out of his memories and pointed at the small pit that was gradually filled up. "Is this the seed of that mutant plant? I don't think I've ever seen it before."
Soon Yan Su discovered that this was not the only seed he had never seen before. He had never heard of any of the seeds Yun Luo took out afterwards.
Yun Luo's hands kept moving as he answered him, "You'll know what it is when it grows out."
After planting all the seeds, Yun Luo took out the growth solution that had been prepared earlier and watered each seed as needed.
The two worked together and quickly finished planting the seeds. Now, both of them had soil in their hands.
Yun Luo took Yan Su upstairs to wash up, feeling quite puzzled: "These things are not difficult, I can do it myself, why did you have to come all the way here?"
When Yan Su came over, he just dug the hole and filled it with soil. Yun Luo still had to do many steps himself.
"I told you, I'm only helping out as a side job. I can't just sit there and do nothing while you're busy. Okay, forget about it. You still haven't told me what kind of plant these seeds are."
Yun Luo had seen many grown spiritual plants, but few in seed form. He could only recognize the seeds, so he couldn't tell them apart.
"They are some edible plants. We'll have to wait until they're grown to see for sure."
It seems that it is just as the housekeeper said. Yun Luo plans to artificially cultivate mutant plants. Yan Su looks for scholars he knows who have made achievements in the study of mutant plants, and plans to find a few suitable ones to pack and ship over.
Yun Luo didn't know that the person he was worried about had already been arranged by the man in front of him, and would be packed up and sent to the manor soon.
Lingshenglou's business is booming, and Chen Yue has also brought out a group of useful people. With these people, Yun Luo doesn't need to stay in the kitchen of Lingshenglou. He has more time, which is just right for researching new dishes.
Colin brought back a lot of new mutated vegetables. Yunluo found some that were commonly used in the original world and made a few new dishes.
As Lingsheng Tower has developed to this point, Yun Luo has also discovered that people in this world prefer to eat meat, unless the animal form is a herbivore. Most people tend to eat dishes containing exotic animal meat.
It's not that they completely refuse to eat dishes made from mutated plants, but they prefer to cook them with exotic beast meat. Coincidentally, there is more exotic beast meat in the manor, so when Yun Luo cooks, the proportion of meat is much higher than that of vegetables.
The big cat he raised was also a real carnivore.
Yun Luo had studied Yan Su's animal form. Although it was a big cat, it was actually very different from the cats in his original world. They looked very similar when they were cubs, but the difference became obvious when they grew up.
Yun Luo did not find any animal similar to the big cat in his memory, nor did he find one that completely satisfied him in the system's illustrated collection. As a result, after so many days, Yun Luo still did not know what kind of animal Yan Su's beast form was.
Yun Luo could roughly recognize the animal forms of other people. Except for their larger sizes, they were not difficult to match with those in his original world. For example, the little rolling boy who bumped into the door by himself looked and behaved almost exactly like the national treasure in Yun Luo's original world.
After researching the new dish, Yun Luo called Chen Yue and told him the cooking method of the new dish.
Chen Yue is a rough diamond that is worth polishing. Compared with the first time we met, it can be said that he has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now he is not as shy as before when getting along with others, and he can establish his own dignity in front of newcomers who have just entered the industry.
Yun Luo was initially worried that Chen Yue couldn't control these people, but later he discovered that Chen Yue had his own way of keeping them under control.
Yun Luo just observed for a while, and when he saw that Chen Yue could handle it himself, he stopped paying attention.
"gentlemen."
Yun Luo waved for someone to come over: "I called you over this time because I made a few new dishes. Come and try them."
Shen Yue walked forward obediently and asked, as if by some strange coincidence: "Am I the first person to taste it?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Yue would ask this. Yun Luo was stunned for a moment and nodded.
At this time, Shen Yue also realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, and his original joy was somewhat dissipated: "I'm sorry, sir, I..."
"Nothing," Yun Luo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Come and take a look, this is a new dish I'm planning to introduce."
Seeing that Yun Luozhen didn't show any unusual behavior, Shen Yue put away his anxiety and picked up a little from each plate with the serving chopsticks.
After just one bite, Shen Yue's eyes widened, her taste buds instantly captured, the episode that just happened was thrown behind her mind, and she tasted it wholeheartedly.
The more he ate, the more he was amazed. He had already anticipated the rush to buy this dish after it was released.
"Let me teach you how to do it first."
Yunluo taught Chen Yue how to make the three dishes one by one. Chen Yue could already make them properly without Yunluo having to repeat them a second time.
After one go, Yun Luo pointed out a few mistakes that Chen Yue had made, and then let Chen Yue practice on his own. He still had one thing to do, which was about the experimental base that Xiao Gungun mentioned.
Yan Su had already obtained enough information from those who were captured, and combined with what Xiao Gungun provided, it was enough for Yun Luo to go investigate.
Yun Luo and Yan Su had a different opinion on whether to take Xiao Gun Gun with them.
Yan Su was unwilling to take Xiao Gun Gun with him. The reason was simple. It was his and Yun Luo's world of two, so why should he let a half-grown child join in?
Yan Su cleverly turned into a big cat, blocking Yun Luo's way, without saying a word, just looking at him with a pair of clear and bright eyes.
In the end, Yunluo couldn't resist the silent coquettishness of a big cat, and Xiao Gungun was left in the manor.
The experimental base was located deep in the dense forest, far away from human settlements. Yun Luo and Yan Su first went to Yan Su's residence on the planet Somir, and then drove a small flying ship to the base.
Wei Ling and his men followed behind them.
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Yun Luo couldn't help but wonder what kind of scene he would see later. Would it coincide with the scene in his memory?
When he arrived, Yun Luo found that it was different from what he had imagined.
The base was built underground. The two of them went down, accompanied only by the sound of each other's footsteps.
This underground base is very large. It took Yun Luo and Yan Su three hours to visit all the places. The base was very quiet. There was nothing left except some abandoned researchers and discarded experiments.
Those researchers were all low-level people and knew less information than the two of them. Yan Su detained them and asked Wei Ling to collect some abandoned experimental materials.
Apart from these, the two of them can be said to have gained nothing.
Just as he was about to leave, Yun Luo heard a slight noise. He didn't say anything and grabbed Yan Su's sleeve.
The two stood there, the sound of footsteps disappeared, and the faint sound became more and more obvious in the empty laboratory.
The two looked at each other, Yun Luo let go of Yan Su's sleeve, and Yan Su turned quickly and leaped towards the direction where the sound came from.
Yun Luo waited there for a while, and Yan Su came back with a strange look on his face.
"What's over there?" Yun Luo asked and was about to walk over there, but was stopped by Yan Su.
"Don't go over there, I brought it out."
Yan Su took out his hands from behind his back. His hands were wrapped in silver light. In the center of the silver light, a light golden ellipsoidal object lay quietly.
After seeing what Yan Su was holding, Yun Luo gasped, "What is this?"
"Insect eggs," Yan Su said with a grim expression, "and it's a queen insect egg."
The Zerg has a strict hierarchy. Below the Zerg Emperor is the King Zerg. Every Zerg Emperor evolved from the King Zerg. In other words, the egg in Yan Su's hand may evolve into a Zerg Emperor in the future. Behind every Zerg Emperor, there are countless Zerg armies.
"It's still alive." Yun Luo could feel the life fluctuations coming from the golden insect eggs.
"If it weren't still alive, this place would have been surrounded by the Zerg army," Yan Su said with a deep look in his eyes. "The Zerg are a very united race. If it were ordinary eggs, they wouldn't care no matter how many they lost. But if the King Zerg eggs lost their life characteristics, they would go crazy. No matter how far away they are, they can locate the place where the King Zerg eggs lost their life characteristics, and then descend and destroy that place with a self-destructive attack method."
Yun Luo had learned about the Zerg in this world on the Star Internet. What was said on the Star Internet was far less detailed than what Yan Su said. According to Yan Su, this insect egg not only cannot be destroyed, but must be kept "alive".
Yun Luo: "The King Insect eggs are here, won't those Zerg find them?"
Yan Su: "The Overlord can only summon the Zerg. The Zerg are unaware of the Overlord's existence. Those people must have done something to prevent the Overlord's eggs from sending signals to the outside world."
Yun Luo: "What's that over there?"
"It's a huge incubation pool." Recalling the scene he just saw, Yan Su's eyes flashed with disgust. "Those people are trying to hatch the queen insect eggs. The ones in there are providing 'nutrition' for them."
The hatching and growth of Zerg require a large amount of energy. No one knows the specific process, and the conclusions drawn now are all based on inferences.
The two searched in the spacious laboratory again and found a hatching record. From it, it can be seen that this queen insect egg has been in the laboratory for three months.
"Three months..." If Xiao Gungun hadn't accidentally found this experimental base, would he still not know the news when the queen insect hatched?
Yun Luo finally took a look at the incubation pool. It was a huge culture dish with a blank space in the middle. The surrounding area was filled with sticky liquid of strange color, bubbling.
There was a huge automatic "feeder" next to it, which fed "food" into the incubation pool at regular intervals. Yun Luo looked up and saw the "feeder" throwing an object that looked like a human into the sticky liquid.
When the "food" comes into contact with the liquid, it melts quickly, as if it is being digested by the liquid.
Yun Luo stood outside the huge incubation pool and could feel the energy fluctuations constantly coming from the incubation pool. This kind of fluctuation was different from the ones in the bodies of orcs, strange beasts, and mutated plants. If anything, it was more mottled and chaotic.
and……
Yun Luo felt that this energy was similar to the black energy that the previous group used to deal with Xiao Bai, but not exactly the same. Yun Luo keenly felt the same existence from it.
The closer it got to the hatching pool, the more active the king insect egg in Yan Su's hand became. It seemed eager to absorb the nutrients in the hatching pool. If it weren't for Yan Su's special ability surrounding it, it would have dived directly into the hatching pool.
Yun Luo was a little confused and asked, "Why didn't those people take this with them when they left?"
He glanced at the king insect eggs in Yan Su's hand. In the eyes of those people, the king insect eggs must be very important experimental subjects. How could those people be willing to throw them away?
"I don't know either. Maybe my people came too quickly. They didn't have time to take away everything and abandoned the king insect eggs." Yan Su looked around. It was very quiet here. Apart from the sound of bubbles coming out of the hatching pool and the voices of the two of them, no other sounds could be heard.
"When I came in just now, this place was completely sealed. Now, some of the vents are open."
There was no one else here except the two of them and Wei Ling and others who were searching elsewhere. So, how was the vent opened?
Because it is underground, even if the vents are open, the only light source in the room is above your head. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice that the vents are open.
The king insect egg struggled in Yan Su's hand. It smelled the scent of food. Even if it had not yet hatched, it was instinctive for the Zerg to absorb energy. The energy in this incubation pool was like a fragrant chicken leg in front of a hungry person. You can imagine how tempting it was.
This place was filled with weirdness, and Yan Su already regretted agreeing to let Yun Luo in to take a look.
"Let the planetary governor send someone to clean up this place. Every detail must be cleaned up thoroughly. Those people have left a lot of hidden dangers."
Yun Luo extended his spiritual awareness and took in everything in the base. Except for those abandoned researchers who knew nothing, the base was cleaned up very cleanly. There was no remaining experimental subjects except those used to feed the queen insect eggs.
The question now is what to do with this queen insect egg.
"Can you show it to me?" Yun Luo walked to Yan Su's side and looked down at the struggling king insect eggs.
It would be more appropriate to call it an egg rather than an ovum. When Yun Luo got closer, he found that the egg was as white as jade, and was covered with light golden patterns. From a distance, it gave people the feeling that the egg was golden.
The silver light wrapped around the outside is Yan Su's supernatural power, which is being swallowed by the egg bit by bit.
"It's devouring your superpowers." Yun Luo said, staring at the silver light that was constantly decreasing and then quickly replenishing.
"I know that the King Bug Egg will automatically absorb the surrounding energy now. I used my supernatural power to wrap it, on the one hand to prevent it from escaping, and on the other hand to calm it down." Seeing Yun Luo approaching, Yan Su held his hand away a little, "Don't get too close, be careful it hurts you."
The reason why the Zerg are disliked by interstellar humans and are regarded as mortal enemies is precisely because of their terrible destructive power and their style of leaving nothing behind wherever they go.
The Zerg have a terrifying appearance and are huge in size. They have sharp mouthparts and an appearance similar to that of the Zerg in the ancient Earth era. The scary thing is that they eat everything. Any planet that has been ravaged by the Zerg will become a real death star.
It is a dead planet with no trace of any living creatures, no grass growing on it, and even the energy at the core of the planet is exhausted.
The Zerg's food is far more than just various living things. It also includes energy-containing minerals. Somir has abundant energy. If a large Zerg army is really provoked, with Somir's defense, the planet will completely fall within ten days.
Yan Su sent a message to Wei Ling. Not long after, Wei Ling came with his men. The moment he saw the king insect eggs in Yan Su's hand, his pupils shrank sharply.
Having accompanied Yan Su in defending the border against the Zerg for many years, Wei Ling recognized at a glance what a bomb-like thing his Majesty was holding in his hand.
Unlike other insect eggs, which can be killed at will, the king insect eggs are special and cannot be killed violently.
"Go and see how much food this experimental fund has left for the queen insect eggs."
Wei Ling took the order and left. Not long after, he came back with his men, and his face didn't look very good.
"Master, at the current rate, we can only hold out for three days at most."
The closer to the incubation period, the more energy is needed. The number given by Wei Ling is only a conservative estimate. Moreover, when he saw the so-called "food", even he, who was used to the battlefield, felt a chill in his heart.
Those monsters that were neither human, nor animal, nor Zerg were still breathing their last breaths, trapped in closed, transparent sealed cabins. Every once in a while, one of them would be pushed out by a mechanical arm and thrown into an incubation pool, where they would be devoured alive by the unknown mucus in the incubation pool.
Digested and broken down into nutrients and energy for the queen insect eggs to hatch.
Even though he had known what this base was researching, Wei Ling was still shocked the moment he saw it with his own eyes. The same went for the people he brought with him, and their faces didn't look very good.
Such visual impact is not something that anyone can withstand.
Yan Su didn't want Yun Luo to see such a scene. If Yun Luo hadn't insisted, he wouldn't even bring people here. If he could control it, he would never want Yun Luo to see such a dirty and inhumane scene in his life.
There are only three days left. If the king insect egg cannot absorb energy, when it is about to hatch, it will summon its people again and again. They don't know how the base blocked the signals sent by the king insect egg to the outside world, and they don't know what the king insect egg will do in the absence of food.
They couldn't leave the eggs here. If they took them away, where could they take them? No one was sure whether the eggs would be discovered by other Zergs if they left the base.
With the defensive power of Somir Star, it could not withstand the attack of the Zerg army.
The people from the base escaped, and this was no longer a matter of just Somir Star. Yan Su had already ordered the forces from Emperor Star to capture them. He originally thought that those people were brave enough, but looking at the king insect eggs in his hand, he felt that he had underestimated the courage of the people behind them.
Yan Su had been in power for less than ten years. Although he had carried out a drastic cleansing of the empire, many forces had retreated into the shadows and had not been thoroughly cleansed out. In the past two years, as Yan Su's reputation had become worse and worse, those people had begun to get restless.
"Master, what should we do with this king insect egg?"
It's not that there is no way at all, but this method is difficult to accomplish. Someone needs to take the king insect eggs to a place far away from human habitation in the shortest time possible, preferably an abandoned planet, and then dispose of the king insect eggs. However, in this case, the person who carries out the mission will definitely not be able to come back.
Yun Luo looked at the king insect eggs shaking slightly in Yan Su's palm, and suddenly reached out his hand.
The spiritual power covered his hands and easily penetrated Yan Su's circle of supernatural powers. The spiritual power replaced the supernatural powers and wrapped up the king insect eggs bit by bit.
Yun Luo moved too quickly, and Yan Su was talking to Wei Ling, so he was completely unprepared for Yun Luo's attack.
Feeling that his ability was blocked by something, Yan Su used his other hand to hold the hand that was half-dangling above the King Insect Egg: "What are you doing?"
Yan Su had never experienced such a feeling before. He was half frightened, half worried, and there was even a hint of anger that he himself had not even noticed. He didn't know whether it was because of himself or Yun Luo.
The incident happened so suddenly that Yan Su didn't react at all. His mind was occupied by various emotions, and he even ignored the force that blocked his superpowers and the king insect eggs.
He forgot that Yun Luo had the ability to protect himself, and his mind was filled with only one thought: what if Yun Luo was injured by the King Insect?
Wei Ling and others also looked at Yun Luo in shock. They didn't expect that Yun Luo would do this to more than just Yan Su. They couldn't understand why Yun Luo had to touch the king insect eggs for no reason.
They couldn't feel the spiritual power released by Yun Luo, and just thought that he was touching it out of curiosity, and were prepared to deal with the King Insect's anger at any time.
With his supernatural powers accumulating, Yan Su stared closely at the insect king egg on the palm of his hand. If the other party had the intention of harming Yun Luo, he would kill it regardless of the consequences!
In Yan Su's deathly gaze, the golden lines on the insect king's eggshell seemed to be lit up by something, and the egg moved, rubbing against Yun Luo's hand affectionately.
Yan Su's eyes became even colder. He gathered his fingers together and was about to move when there was a "crack" and a crack appeared on the golden pattern of the eggshell.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and no one expected that the Insect King would break out of its shell at this time.
The author has something to say: Spoiler: The Insect King is also genetically modified
