Chapter 11 She is the Queen! The Queen of the Zerg!! ...
Larry huddled in a corner of the cave, watching the Zerg wield their pincers in a frenzy, the fear in his heart nearly driving him mad.
He dared not move or make a sound, for fear that the Zerg would notice his presence.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he cursed inwardly:
Damn it, it's all that woman's fault!
If it weren't for her, how could he have ended up here?!
How could we possibly encounter this swarm of Zerg?!
Larry trembled uncontrollably as he watched the frenzied Zerg race draw ever closer.
If he knew he was going to die, what did he care about?
We should have killed that woman, no, both of them, just now!
Let them die a more gruesome death than those he has killed before!
But they actually escaped!
They're the ones who deserve to die!!
Just then, a crimson-eyed insectoid creature passed by him.
Larry stared wide-eyed in despair as the Zerg's tail lashed towards his head.
Is he going to die?!
Just as the spikes from the insect's tail were about to pierce his face, the insect suddenly stopped.
No, all the Zerg have stopped.
After a moment of deathly silence, the Zerg went berserk and surged in one direction.
The huge commotion caused the cave to shake.
Larry, suppressing his fear, shakily raised his head and saw the Zerg recklessly crashing into the crevice of the cave.
Some insects had their antennae bent from the collisions, while others had their shells shattered, and their dark blood gradually spread...
But no insects stopped.
Larry's cheek twitched as if he had just thought of something:
That direction—
That's the direction those two women fled in!
Larry paid no attention to why the Zerg had rioted; he simply stared with smug satisfaction at the cracks in the cave not far away.
The Zerg didn't kill him; instead, they went to another cave!
With so many Zerg, those two women are doomed!
He's the one who survived!
He smiled distortedly, as if he could see the tragic sight of Ai Ying and Charlotte being dismembered by the Zerg.
Those who offend him deserve this fate.
Just when he thought he had escaped death and could finally live, a worm's tail with sharp barbs swept fiercely across his throat.
Before the ferocious smile on his face could fade, he was killed by a Zergling rushing forward.
No insects cared whether Larry, this human, lived or died.
No insect cared about its own life.
All the insects rushed forward without regard for anything else.
In their insect-like minds, only one thought remained:
This voice is calling to the Zerg—
This sound requires the Zerg—
They absolutely must find her!!
Even if it costs them everything!
With all the insects charging relentlessly, they quickly made their way through the collapsed rocky path.
They found the source that called them.
It is a human being.
An injured human being.
Keo was the insect that charged at the forefront.
He looked at the human lying in a pool of blood around the corner. Before his insect brain could even think, his insect body rushed forward and blocked a huge rock that had fallen.
At this moment, the other Zerg also saw the scene ahead.
There were clearly two humans lying there, but they could only see one of them.
Seeing her long, black hair and the blood gushing from her thin body, all the insects stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
She... is injured!
They could feel the silent call of blood emanating from this human being;
They could feel the blood flowing from this human, which easily soothed the despair and unease that had existed since birth.
But--
Watching the drops of blood fall, they felt no comfort or joy, only a panic and stinging pain they had never experienced before when they were sober.
pain--
It hurts so much!
All the insects felt a sudden, intense pain rising from deep within their cores, and only one thought occupied their minds:
Is she in a lot of pain?
What to do, what to do, what to do?!
Behind the insects, Villa looked at the familiar, thin human. His vertical pupils dilated for a moment, then contracted into a straight line.
It's that human!
That skinny little human!
No—she's not human!
Villa's pincers trembled incessantly:
The spiritual energy emanating from her was like a gentle breeze that had comforted them countless times;
The silent cry for help emanating from her body made all the insects feel the call of their bloodline;
Her wounds and blood caused all the insects the same stinging pain.
Her identity could only be—
"king."
Villa knelt on the ground, his voice filled with utmost devotion.
This is their king!
The moment they heard Villa's voice, all the insects' antennae trembled violently:
king? !
Is this... their king?!
All the insects knelt down.
Joy, elation, happiness, peace of mind...
The moment they realized that the King had reappeared, countless wonderful emotions they had never experienced before filled their insect brains.
Do they have a king?
They have a king now!!
Keo, bearing the boulder, was closest to Ai Ying. His entire insect body froze into stone, and his core throbbed wildly.
king!
It is the king!!
This was a scene he had never even dared to dream of.
Their king was right before him!
The Zerg have not had a king for three hundred years.
Each insect has never seen the king since it was born.
They did not know what the king looked like, nor how they would feel when the king was present.
Their chaotic insect brains prevented them from even engaging in deep fantasy.
All the insects looked at Ai Ying with devout fervor, firmly believing:
She is the queen.
If it weren't for the king, how could she possibly soothe their spirits?
If it weren't for the king, how could she possibly call upon them from the depths of her bloodline?
If she weren't the queen, how could she so easily steal the attention of every insect?
No insect wondered why their king was so weak, nor did any insect be puzzled as to why the king of the insect race was a human.
A king does not need to be defined.
Wang can be whatever he wants to be.
Their only task is to protect the king, carry out his every command, and even give their lives for him!
ah--
Such a perfect insect life exists in the world!!
Just as all the insects were engrossed in the future after the king's appearance, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Save the king!"
Villa stared at the group of insects standing there dumbfounded, their chirping urgent:
"quick!!"
"The king is injured!!"
Keo, who was closest to Ai Ying, suddenly came to his senses and carefully used his insect pincers to remove the pebbles from her body.
Just as he made his move, the other insects rushed over.
"Healing solution, healing solution—"
"Repair solution, repair solution—"
"Bad stone, bad stone, bad stone—"
In just a few seconds, all the insects cleared away the rocks around Ai Ying, leaving not a trace.
Her wounds healed rapidly under the treatment of top-quality healing and repair fluids, and her breathing gradually became stable.
Finally, the insect had time to look at its surroundings:
Why is it so dark here!
Why is this place so small!
How could this place be worthy of their king?!
Just as the insects felt that the place was too cramped and wanted to take Ai Ying out of the cave...
Keo seemed to have discovered something, staring blankly at the other person she was tightly holding in her hand:
When did this human appear?
Never mind, it's not important!
Everything except the king can be discarded and destroyed.
Including himself.
Keo shook his head. The simple insect brain allowed him to find the easiest solution without thinking. He extended his insect pincers to cut off Charlotte's hand, which was being held tightly by Ai Ying.
Upon seeing his actions, Villa let out a sharp chirping sound:
"Stupid bug!"
"The king is choking this human!"
"What does this mean?!"
Keo raised his pincers, then shook his head blankly:
"Hiss—No, I don't know."
"This proves that this human is the king's pet!" Vilia charged to the front, brandishing his pincers menacingly. "How dare you touch the king's pet!"
"No, no!" Keo quickly retracted his pincers, hid them behind his back, and shook his head vigorously. "No, no!"
He dared not touch Charlotte again.
The king's pet is a hundred or a thousand times more important than the king himself.
He devoutly prostrated himself on the insect, pressing himself against the other insects without leaving any gaps.
After the king and his pet were placed on his carapace, he carefully moved his insect limbs and carried the king out without any bumps.
All the Zerg knelt behind the Zerg carrying their king, and crawled out reverently.
Hiss, Your Majesty.
Hiss, that's the king.
Hiss, they have a king now!!
*
Ai Ying woke up from her coma.
Before she could even feel grateful that she was still alive, she heard a hissing sound of insects rising and falling, as if they were surrounding her.
They seem to be saying—
"king."
