Chapter 410: With Companions
Ah Xun quickly brought back a prey, and Jiang Fan squatted outside the house processing it.
Anunu had been hungry all day and couldn't wait any longer. She squatted down next to Jiang Fan and watched him take a sharp dagger and meticulously and neatly skin the prey and clean out its internal organs.
Jiang Fan, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, glanced at the little guy squatting beside him, finding his focused and serious expression amusing.
He hadn't had any interaction with anyone for a long time, and had just drifted through the years in a daze. But now, seeing such a lively little cub in this snowy environment, the cute things and the cold feeling gradually awakened his numb soul.
After Jiang Fan removed the prey's fur and internal organs, he wanted to scoop water from the bucket next to him to wash it, but Anunu took the ladle first, scooped water into his hands, and washed them clean.
"Let me do it." Jiang Fan took the ladle from her hand and carefully cleaned the prepared game.
"I can help too!" Anunu didn't want to just watch. The more she looked, the hungrier she got. She wanted to do something to distract herself, and participating in the food preparation would make her feel like she could eat sooner.
She was so hungry she wanted to eat food raw; she vaguely remembered doing that before.
Jiang Fan watched as she insisted on helping him. Although she was small and it was a bit strenuous for her to do things, she was not clumsy at all. On the contrary, she was very organized, unlike a little princess who had never done anything at home.
On a whim, he helped these insectoids. After being exiled, his heart gradually became numb and closed off, and he never wanted to meddle in other people's business. But now he was becoming curious about this little queen insect.
He couldn't help but be curious. Even if she wasn't a little queen insect, it was still puzzling that such a young offspring came to such a planet alone without a guardian.
This planet has no name, only the number [YIU9733]. Although it is a fairly habitable planet, it is actually similar to a prison.
There is no technological development, and all the residents are races from interstellar civilizations. These people are either exiled or voluntarily exiled.
However, there's no need to worry about normal life here; the natural environment is nice and food is plentiful.
There's nothing wrong with living here; life is peaceful and leisurely. It's just that the area is sparsely populated, and not many people come from outside, so the population growth is slow.
He thought that this little king insect had probably come to this planet by accident with its family.
Given the Zerg's strength in interstellar space and the importance of the Queen to their race, it's estimated that the Zerg will find this planet soon.
However, this planet has a strange magnetic field, which not only makes it unusable for humans, but also prevents spaceships from landing there, otherwise they risk crashing.
To enter this planet, one must enter from the outside by opening a portal.
This isn't the only planet like this; they're exile planets where people who have committed serious offenses or are extremely vicious criminals are exiled.
Fortunately, this planet is not a place for exiling criminals, but rather a place where people with certain experiences who do not want to live in interstellar civilizations exile themselves.
He watched Anunu struggling to scoop water from the bucket, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
He asked, "Little princess, what is your name?"
This was the first time Anunu had ever heard someone call her "Little Princess." It seemed that people around her also called her "Little Highness" in her memory.
She scooped a ladle of water and poured it into the wooden tub Jiang Fan used to clean his prey. Looking at Jiang Fan with her beautiful, light blue eyes, she said, "My name is Anunu. Big dog, what's your name?"
"Jiang Fan."
Jiang Fan listened to her name and pondered it over and over in his mind.
She spoke to him in the Tianyun language, but her name was pronounced in the insectoid language and had to be transliterated into the Tianyun language.
“ALoo... This is the first time I’ve heard of this king insect’s name.” Jiang Fan said thoughtfully, looking at her.
When he was still with the Legion, he was on the front lines, the most dangerous battlefields, and he had a deep understanding of all the races in the interstellar space. Although the Zerg did not have any direct conflict with Tianyun and they had not fought each other much, they were still a race with formidable combat capabilities that they needed to understand.
He remembered that the queen of the Zerg was named Seville, and judging from how small this queen was, it must have been born in recent years.
The Zerg have lost a baby Overlord, and they're probably frantic, searching for her all over the universe.
For the Zerg, the Little King Insect is a matter of racial continuation.
It was already dark outside, and the wind had picked up, howling across the quiet plain, vast and desolate, as if only these few people remained in the world.
Jiang Fan stared blankly at the hazy shadows of houses in front of him for a while. When he came to his senses and turned to look at Anunu, she was already squatting to the side building a snowman.
The two little ones had somehow appeared and were helping her build a snowman. However, these two little companions didn't seem to get along, and were always secretly trying to trip each other up.
They seemed utterly unafraid of the environment and unconcerned about their own situation.
Jiang Fan thought to himself that the Zerg race was indeed very adaptable; even such small offspring could adapt to unfamiliar environments.
Or perhaps it's because I had companions with me.
