Chapter 409: He'll be alright
After hearing this, A-Xun looked around warily. Jiang Fan's mention of the defensive robot reminded it of when it and Caesar first arrived, when they were attacked by a robot that looked exactly like Caesar.
The huge factory contained various machine parts, but these things meant nothing to the people living on this planet. They didn't need this technology; they only needed food and clothing. So, the factory was abandoned for several years and not much was taken away.
Jiang Fan pushed open the door to a room inside the factory, where a treatment pod was located.
"This is the treatment chamber. Although it's not the latest model, its functions aren't much different. Let's put him in and try it out."
Jiang Fan looked around and saw a medical bed next to him. He brushed off the dust and gently placed Anunu on the medical bed to lie down.
With his hands free, he tried to activate the medical pod. The medical pod hadn't been used for decades, but it still contained energy. Jiang Fan successfully activated the medical pod. After adjusting it for a while and feeling that there were no problems, he picked up Mingxiao, who was clinging to A-Xun's back, and put her into the medical pod.
Ah Xun peered into the treatment chamber and discovered that unlike most common treatment chambers that use various liquid medications for immersion, this one used energy therapy.
This surprised it somewhat. Energy healing pods also exist on the battlefield, but not all races rely on energy to maintain their bodies like the Zerg.
People like the Tianyun people can also repair their bodies with energy, but that is limited to the energy healing provided by their Holy Spirit. It is a supernatural ability, and they cannot directly absorb energy.
This healing chamber seems tailor-made for the Zerg or some races that can directly absorb energy; Mingxiao shouldn't die this time.
"With injuries like his, he'll probably have to stay in there for a day or two. We need to find a place to stay here."
Just as Jiang Fan finished speaking, Anunu woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, turning her head around. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the unfamiliar surroundings, but her eyes lit up immediately when she saw Mingxiao lying in the treatment pod.
Jiang Fan carried her to the front of the treatment pod, allowing her to lie on the transparent pod and look at Mingxiao inside. "Don't worry, he'll be fine soon."
Anunu placed her hand above Mingxiao's head, glowing tentacles emerging from her forehead. She pressed herself against the hull and spoke to Mingxiao: "Mingxiao, you must wake up soon. You are not allowed to leave me without my permission."
This was the first time Jiang Fan had ever seen such a well-behaved and good-tempered little queen insect. He smiled and patted her head.
“He is safe. Let’s find a place to spend the night. It’s getting dark and it will be very cold at night.”
Before leaving Mingxiao, A-Xun used a little more energy to ensure that even when Mingxiao was asleep, its consciousness remained within the consciousness network, allowing it to detect any situation in a timely manner.
It has to take good care of these three little queen beetles. Between the queen beetle and the family beetle, the queen beetle is more important. There's no need to compare them at all.
In fact, if it weren't for Anunu's subconscious insistence on keeping Mingxiao alive, Mingxiao himself would have given up, let alone them.
Although Anunu always behaves like a cub, she is very concerned about the people around her. She also uses the Ohmu effect to bring Mingxiao back from the brink of death several times, which surprised A-Xun.
Mingxiao was just a servant, and the Zerg were never short of servants. Besides, she had two male Zerg kings by her side, yet she still cared about him so much. Even though Mingxiao seemed to have no hope before, she still wanted to keep him alive time and time again.
Rather than saying that Xiao was holding on, it would be more accurate to say that it was the thoughts deep within Anunu's consciousness that were holding him on.
Ah Xun knew that the insect race had lost a little queen insect more than 300 years ago. He never expected that this little queen insect would have such a personality, unlike many queen insects in the past, and even more different from her mother, Sevier.
When Ah Xun remembered what Ming Xiao had told it before, that Anunu also had a mutant furry friend just like itself, it became somewhat tempted.
After wandering outside for so many years, it suddenly wanted to go home.
With Anunu and another mutant furry friend around, it should be able to stay in Sivitro comfortably.
Jiang Fan found a house in the town and took them to stay temporarily.
The room was fully furnished with all kinds of furniture and other items, but it was covered in dust. He cleaned it up a bit so that the three children would have a place to sleep.
Jiang Fan found a flint and steel and lit the fireplace. He then cleaned the bed and sofa area. The three children huddled together in front of the fireplace to warm themselves, their stomachs growling loudly.
He laughed and said, "Mao Mao has gone hunting, so there will be food soon."
Anunu cupped her face in her hands and sighed, looking at the flickering firelight from the fireplace. "I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for almost a day. I didn't eat the meat soup that Mingxiao made this morning. What a pity."
Sitar reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of jerky, handing it to Anunu. Anunu had given it to him that morning, and he hadn't finished it yet.
Anunu happily accepted the jerky and divided one piece into three portions, giving them to Sitar and Caesar.
"Here, let's eat together."
Sitar saw Caesar take the jerky from her hand and wave it at him triumphantly. He pursed his lips, and the two were about to clash again when Anunu stuffed the jerky into his mouth and slapped Caesar on the forehead.
"No arguing allowed."
