A009's body instantly stiffened.
His arm was raised halfway, then mechanically and slowly fell back down.
Then he forced a hollow smile: "What are you trying to do? Don't forget that my right eye was also destroyed by you."
“Right, so I think it’s better to destroy the useless left eye as well.” Xiao Cheng returned his smile with the same coldness. “Don’t you think that’s what creates a sense of symmetrical beauty, my great Frankenstein?”
Before A009 could speak, she looked enlightened and said again, "By the way, to be able to create something like a zombie and then transform yourself into such an ugly, inhuman creature, you probably don't have any sense of aesthetics."
"How dare you insult my masterpiece!" A009's expression instantly turned incredibly sinister. Even the Insect Queen felt as if she had been insulted, and breathed warningly at Xiao Cheng.
"You think you can control me like this?" A009 stared intently at Xiao Cheng.
The short knife pressed against his eyelid could no longer get any closer. The already damaged blade made a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight. Fine, spiderweb-like cracks spread out, and tiny blade fragments began to peel off from the tip. A009 disdainfully raised his hand to catch them, then crushed them into powder.
Xiao Cheng was left with only a knife hilt in his hand.
"Useless!" A009 laughed arrogantly. "Just like you! The prey dares to try and turn the tables? That's wishful thinking!"
He wanted to catch even the slightest hint of fear on Xiao Cheng's face.
But it didn't happen.
Xiao Cheng looked at the broken hilt of the knife in her hand with some regret. It was Fang He's knife, and the quality was not bad, and it looked good too.
"Actually, I quite like this." She sighed softly, her gaze drifting lightly towards the stone pillar.
It's too high; you can't see people clearly, they're all just scattered little black dots.
But she recognized Fang He at a glance.
Indeed, handsome people are easily recognizable wherever they are. Even if they have a small black dot, they are still the most pleasing small black dot to the eye.
Xiao Cheng was lost in thought, and even couldn't help but laugh out loud. A009 was completely enraged by her nonchalant attitude, and raised his arm to grab her neck.
"You think I won't kill you?!" His eyes were wide open, and his only intact left eyeball almost popped out of its socket.
“Ah, you can.” He didn’t actually use much force, and Xiao Cheng could even nod in response. “You’re not unable to kill me, you just want to let me live for a while, I know.”
A009 was silent for a moment, staring intently at her, and said almost through gritted teeth, "You know."
"Know what?" Xiao Cheng feigned innocence. "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know anything. I don't know that you hid the stolen core in your left eye, I don't know about your deal with the Insect Queen, and I don't know that you are controlled by it... I don't even dare to kill someone who was once the Insect Queen's host."
Finally, Xiao Cheng didn't forget to deliver another blow: "How could you be such a coward?"
A009's hand instantly tightened: "Who says I don't dare?!"
However, immediately afterward, the usually peaceful and friendly insect queen suddenly opened her mouth in a rage, revealing several layers of sharp teeth, and sprang up, tearing off a large chunk of flesh from his cheek to reveal the rotting scarlet tissue inside.
Dark red blood dripped down, faster and faster, making A009, who was already not very human, even more inhuman.
Xiao Cheng felt as if he had been tortured to death by his eyes countless times, and then the force on his neck suddenly loosened, and the seven halo of light hanging behind him also instantly dissipated.
The Insect Queen is very angry, and the consequences are severe. At least for the time being, A009 will likely be unable to use the superpowers originating from the Insect Queen.
Xiao Cheng was surprised by this unexpected delight. He looked at the insect queen and suddenly felt that compared to the zombie, the insect was quite small and pretty.
"Forget about this idiot, just cooperate with me," Xiao Cheng urged. "Really, team up with me to take it down. Anyway, I'll leave after I finish the game, and this place will be yours, the world of this bug!"
The insect mother swayed slowly, chewing on the piece of meat she had just torn off, and squeaked twice, seemingly quite interested.
"You can't betray our deal!" A009 looked incredulous.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's a transaction, a cash-for-goods deal. Once it's over, it's over. Do you think you can tie them to your crappy ship for life? Are you kidding me?" Xiao Cheng rebuked righteously.
She stroked the handle of the knife in her hand, as if she really felt indignant for the insect mother and was seriously settling accounts with her.
"Look at you, what a bad deal you made! You gave him your superpowers and his subordinates, but what did he give you in return? A measly piece of cake? It would be better if you cooperated with me. I don't even need you to do anything, just... take away his control over the superpowers."
"I know you can do it. The players' abilities are upgraded by using the crystals inside the zombies. It's okay, just release that part of the energy. Let's initialize everyone. Just think of them as working for you."
The mother insect stopped shaking, stared straight at Xiao Cheng, and suddenly spoke in human language: "You know quite a lot."
The voice sounded familiar. It took Xiao Cheng a while to realize that it was that electronic face.
But she still smiled very politely and said, "It's good that you're not saying I know too much."
The mother insect suddenly let out a shrill laugh: "I agree! I agree to your deal! But only to initialize their abilities! As for what happens after that, as for what happens after that..."
