Chapter 404: Get Along Well
As soon as it was light, Anunu and the other two little queen insects woke up.
According to Anunu's core repair principles, she should normally get more sleep, but now the cores of the three of them have created a link effect.
No, it should be said that the four cores, although they had shrunk due to excessive energy consumption in a short period of time, the powerful energy generated by the cores being linked together made them very energetic and somewhat excited.
However, all of this energy is locked inside their bodies and cannot be released.
At this moment, the three little queen insects squatted in front of Mingxiao, looking at him with his eyes closed.
A night passed, and their spinal whips didn't output much energy; the little energy they managed to squeeze out couldn't keep up with their body's consumption.
Anunu cupped her round cheeks and looked at him, asking, "Is he really going to die?"
Sitar's small face was expressionless. "I don't know. It's okay if he's dead. His soul will return to his ancestors, and we can still reunite."
Caesar: "But this is not our home."
The three little ones fell silent for a moment, looking at each other.
Oh right, this isn't their home. Where is their home?
All they remembered was that their home never saw daylight, unlike now where light streams in through the windows, illuminating the room.
I remember there were many beautiful, sparkly stones.
But now, they're thinking, "We're hungry, and if he doesn't wake up, no one will cook for us."
Anunu clutched her rumbling stomach and frowned in distress.
Sitar and Caesar volunteered, raising their hands: "I'll cook!"
So, based on their vague memories and what they had learned from Mingxiao the day before, the two moved two stools to the kitchen, stood on them, and prepared to cook.
Anunu was initially looking forward to it, but less than two minutes later, the two started fighting again for some unknown reason. Caesar was pushed to the ground by Sitar, and Sitar was grabbed by the hair by Caesar. They started fighting in the kitchen, making a lot of noise.
Ah Xun slowly got up from in front of the fireplace, ran over and pulled the two of them apart.
Anunu sighed. "Mom is right. The male insect king is useless. We can't count on him."
Oh, she misses her mother. If her mother were here, she would never go hungry.
Anunu looked at Mingxiao in front of her and poked his pale, handsome face with her finger: "Mingxiao, I'm hungry. Can you cook me a meal before you die?"
In the minds of all Zerg, death is not a terrible thing. They are not afraid of death; death is departure, not complete annihilation.
Not only is it not extinction, but after the Zerg die, their bodies will turn into energy and merge with the planet, and their souls can reunite with their ancestors. Death is eternal.
This concept is ingrained in the Zerg's genes: only when a dead Zerg has one of its own kind by its side will its body and soul be taken back to its homeland.
For someone like Mingxiao, who waited for years to reunite with the prince she had longed for, only to die shortly after they were together, the greatest sorrow was the thought of parting.
At this moment, Anunu only knew that he was a Queen Insect, that he had two useless little male Queen Insects beside him, and that the familiar in front of him was the most useful one, and that he could not die.
She remembered that she was a branch of the Firefly, possessing healing abilities, and tried to gather the energy in her hands, but after a long while, a faint light finally appeared on her fingertips.
She placed her hand on Mingxiao's face and felt that his face was a little cold, so she cupped his face with both hands and warmed it with her hands. She transformed into a semi-primitive form and pressed her cheek against his face. Her genetic instincts made her use the Queen Worm Effect to save her family.
After a long while, Mingxiao slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his deep dream.
He rarely slept so soundly; he clutched his chest, a sign that his body was growing increasingly weak.
He could feel his life force constantly slipping away.
He paused, then called out weakly to the young princess who kept pressing her cheek against his, "Your Highness?"
"You're awake."
Anunu laughed, happily hugged his neck, and kissed his face: "I'm hungry, go and cook for me."
Mingxiao felt the soft, warm touch on his face, his heart started pounding, and he became much more alert.
He immediately stood up from the sofa, smiling as he patted Anunu's head: "Your Highness, I'll go cook right away, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he took out the snacks that the woman from yesterday had given them and handed them to Anunu: "Your Highness, please have some snacks to fill your stomach first."
Seeing the two little male insect kings still fighting on the ground, he sighed, helplessly pulled them apart, and carried them to Anunu's side, sitting down with her.
The two men only calmed down after sitting down next to her. They had just fought, and their clothes were torn to shreds and their hair was a mess.
Anunu took out some jerky from the snack bag and handed one piece to each of them. "Here, take this. Don't fight, and try to get along."
The two men took the dried meat from her hands and nodded in agreement.
Anunu thought to herself, "The male insect king is quite easy to coax."
It's normal for crickets to be a bit temperamental and prone to fighting, especially since they are two such beautiful crickets. As long as they don't get hurt, a little fight shouldn't be a problem.
But it seems her mother never told her to coax the male insect king.
Anunu fell into thought. Should she coax the male insect king? She felt that they weren't very useful.
