Chapter 536 Xiaowei was half eaten
Jingshu didn't deny it. "If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have bothered you... Wenjun said you saved everyone. I was wondering how a girl like you who lost both legs managed to do it. So that's how you get your food. We were so presumptuous. It's our fault. You're like this... you're not born like this, are you? Do you want to go out with us to find a doctor for surgery to restore your original appearance?"
"Yes, yes. Technology is so advanced now that conjoined twins who share a heart can be separated. You can do the same. If you are willing, I can find someone to perform the decomposition surgery on you and then help you install a prosthetic limb. Of course, when you recover, in exchange, the lower half of your insect body will be handed over to us for research." Jun Bao said from the side. He still hoped to study the real gastropod queen and reproduce more to solve the problem of food for mankind.
He made good money on this deal, as he got a queen insect that could reproduce.
"Recover?" The insect girl Xiaowei laughed self-deprecatingly. "How is that possible? We are already symbiotic. Without me, it's like it has lost its head. How can it survive? Without it, I'm like I have lost my heart. How can I survive?"
Jun Bao sighed slightly, feeling a little sorry.
Jingshu asked with a complicated expression: "What happened to become like this? Tell us, maybe we can help you."
First impressions are very important, especially when seeing something so creepy. The two of them didn't shout about monsters or goblins, which made Wenjun's face look much better. In addition, Jingshu and her group had no ill intentions. After shouting "Guotou, please be patient" outside, Wenjun looked at Xiaowei and got her consent. Then she began to speak:
"This story all started more than half a year ago. Our village was hit by a sudden catastrophe. The mountain range swallowed up most of it, resulting in countless casualties... The village chief's home was right in the middle of the village, and of course, it was completely swallowed up. Xiaowei's family was also gone. We didn't expect Xiaowei to be alive at the time. We found her after the village was swallowed up."
"The village was out of food, so we decided to search everywhere for any leftovers. We eventually came across this half-eaten house, and right there in the hole, we found Xiaowei unconscious... We didn't think much about why Xiaowei, who used to be in the center of the village, would end up here. We were so excited to drag her out, but halfway through, we realized something was wrong. The insect's body was underneath."
Xiaowei's hands were trembling. Thinking of what happened at that time, she was still frightened. She said slowly:
"The village was taken over by gastropods. There were maze-like passages. The Queen was right under my house, so we weren't squashed into meat patties. We just fell down... and many other bodies in the village that had been squashed into meat patties were dragged by the gastropods to the Queen's mouth and eaten... I was no exception, but... something happened when I was halfway through being eaten by the Queen."
Jingshu pricked up her ears.
Jun Bao opened his eyes wide, "What accident?"
Xiao Wei slowly closed her eyes. "I woke up from the pain. I would have preferred to be eaten like my family... but it really hurt. As I was struggling on the ground, I grabbed a random stone, but it suddenly turned into liquid and entered my body. Then I passed out. Then I saw Brother Guotou and Brother Wenjun dragging me... I realized I had turned into a monster."
"This monster may have eaten my entire family, my relatives and friends, and now I have become one with it. Does that mean I have eaten these people too?"
"No, Xiaowei, stop imagining things!" Wenjun hugged Xiaowei, caressing her gently. She turned her head and said, "Xiaowei was about to commit suicide. She said life was meaningless... but how could it be meaningless? She saved all of us survivors. Otherwise, we would have died long ago. She is our savior. If it weren't for her, the Gastropod Queen would have sent two or three-meter-long gastropods to kill and eat us all."
The gastropod is very powerful in combat. It is a new species that evolved in the apocalypse.
"Yes, the meaning of my life is you... Brother Guotou said that I must live and avenge the people in the village. Didn't these bugs eat the villagers? Then they will eat all these bugs! Tooth for tooth!" Xiaowei smiled lightly and looked for
It was her reason to live. Even if she became a monster, these people still needed her, and that was enough.
If one day she is no longer needed, she will die together with all the insects, completely dead. If Wenjun and Guotou take people away, perhaps she will also be completely relieved to leave this world. She has long wanted to stop living.
The mouthparts on Xiaowei's lower abdomen are still eating, and insects are constantly delivering food to it.
Jingshu approached Xiaowei excitedly, and the reaction from the space became more obvious. "Is it a black stone crystal?"
"I couldn't see anything at the time, I just knew a monster was eating me. Later in the cave, I didn't find any more stones like that, but I did find a pool of black water. Many gastropods avoided it, so I figured it might be something bad."
Jingshu's eyes lit up even brighter, and even Jun Bao's eyes lit up. Could this be what they have been researching these days?
At this time, Guotou's voice came from outside: "Wenjun, have you discussed how to deal with these outsiders?"
Wenjun gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaowei's affairs cannot be known to the outside world. Since you know so much, just stay here. Who knows if you will bring people to destroy our village and then take Xiaowei back for research as a test subject."
Jun Bao nodded seriously. "You've thought it through very carefully. This is indeed a hidden danger. And Xiaowei really can't go back to the city in her current condition. At least not now..."
Jingshu always felt that Jun Bao was planning something. After all, doesn't this guy have anorexia? Why is he interested in people's livelihood and how to increase food rations in the apocalypse?
"We really don't mean any harm. How can you trust us to keep this a secret? How about this? I have an idea."
Xiao Wei blinked her eyes. "Actually, I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't say so much. I know that food is scarce now, and I know you have a trump card, but you still gave us compressed biscuits. You, like my aunt and the others, also sympathize with me."
"Xiaowei! Let's hear what this young lady has to say first." Wenjun frowned. First of all, he had to absolutely guarantee Xiaowei's interests. He really couldn't guarantee what would happen if outsiders knew about this.
“It’s actually very simple…”
