Thoughts
The lights were on in the Mousse Military Academy Hospital. A man was lying on the operating table with an insect leg still stuck in his chest. His face was pale and he was dying.
The entire Muse Military Academy was turned upside down, and six surgeons were gathered to surround him. Everyone had a deep frown on their face, and sighs were mixed in the discussion.
The operation lasted for twenty-six hours. When the bed was pushed out of the operating room, several doctors almost collapsed on the ground.
It's not just the physical fatigue, but more importantly the difficulty of the operation. The insect legs inserted into the patient's body are full of barbs, and any movement will cause blood to flow.
If the person lying on the bed was not a friend of General Yu Sheng, and if Yu Sheng had not promised a generous reward, the doctors would have planned to let Moss fend for himself.
"What's going on?" Caesar, who was guarding the door, stepped forward. He looked very calm on the surface, but his slightly trembling fingers and voice revealed his panic.
During these twenty-plus hours, Caesar had barely eaten a single bite, aside from a few drops of water. Yu Sheng was busy leading his troops in the fight against the insects, squeezing out time to visit the hospital, give Caesar some food, and leave. He didn't have time to stay and watch Caesar finish his meal.
"The worm's legs have been removed from the patient's body, and the wound has been sutured successfully," the doctor said, rubbing his brow. "But his vital signs are still weak, and he's not out of danger. His family must pay close attention to him. You can whisper some encouraging words to strengthen his will to survive."
"I will." Caesar nodded. His face was even paler than Moss, who was lying on the bed with a weak breath.
Moss was placed in the intensive care unit, where instruments monitored his vital signs at all times. Caesar stayed by his side, quietly watching Moss's peaceful and pale sleeping face.
After a long time, a low voice was heard in the ward:
"I thought I hated you, but the facts prove that I'm a loser." Caesar smiled bitterly, "Rather than hating you, I seem to be more afraid of losing you."
"The hatred and pain I once felt are all in the past. I can't live without you. This is the truth."
"Moss, if you can wake up this time...we can be together."
As night falls and daylight fades, in order to save energy, the Mousse Military Academy will turn off all unnecessary street lights, and the entire base will be plunged into darkness. Only the intensive care unit is still lit with soft lights, which are reflected on the faces of the people lying in the beds, adding a bit of warmth to the paleness.
The man sitting by the bed finished his monologue, and fatigue came over him. He half-lay down on the bed, and his breathing quickly became steady.
Moss's eyelashes fluttered.
Two days later, Moss was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. An elite soldier accompanied him. He peeled a piece of green fruit with swift movements, then stood before Moss and shouted, "Report! The green fruit has been peeled! Please enjoy!"
Moss: "..." Give me back my caring Caesar!
Of course, that was just his thought. He understood how exhausted Xi Ze was. He had been caring for him since he was injured, and only felt relieved when he was out of danger and transferred to a regular ward. But Xi Ze's body couldn't take it anymore, and Yu Sheng took him back to the dormitory to catch up on some sleep.
Let’s be together…
Moss took a bite of the green fruit, and the sour and sweet taste melted on his taste buds. The monologue from that day was still faintly echoing in his ears. Moss's fingers gradually pinched the green fruit, and a trace of determination flashed across his eyes.
After getting enough sleep, Caesar did not return to the hospital to take care of Moss. Instead, he put on a white coat and went to the research institute to continue studying how to eliminate the insect botulinum toxin.
In addition to the urgent need to address the food shortage in the base, Caesar actually had some intention of avoiding Moss.
He knew that Moss had heard his confession, but for some reason, he didn't know why. He had been with Moss for nearly ten years, and he even knew the color of Moss's underwear. He had already done what he should have done. But now, when he thought that Moss would wake up and formally confirm their relationship, Caesar felt very uncomfortable.
Therefore, after Moss's vital signs stabilized, Caesar slipped away on the pretext of being too tired.
"Master Caesar, are you too tired? Do you want to take a break?" The young man's voice sounded beside his ear, bringing the dazed Caesar back to reality.
"Hmm? No, thank you." Caesar focused his attention on the experiment.
Miano saw that Caesar was not as calm as usual, but was daydreaming from time to time, and he began to feel uneasy, "Is Master Caesar worried about Mr. Moss's injury?" Miano also heard about the Insect King's surprise attack a few days ago.
"No, he's recovered." Caesar shook his head and changed the subject. "Work hard, keep going, and try to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible."
Miano's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at Caesar hesitantly, but finally went back to work.
Late at night, only Caesar and Miano were left in the institute. Caesar's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up from the lab table, unable to conceal his excitement. "I got it! I got it!"
Miannuo was startled, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Caesar. This was the first time he had seen Master Caesar so excited and happy like a child. Compared to the aloof researcher before, the current Master Caesar made Miannuo's heart more moved. He couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Master Caesar, what did you think of?"
"I've come up with a method! There's a 90% chance of successfully removing the toxins from the insect flesh!" Caesar excitedly grabbed Miano's arm and pulled him over. "Come, help me verify it!"
Miano's arm felt the warm calloused palm of Caesar, and his cheeks flushed, but Caesar, who was immersed in excitement, did not notice.
The last experiment was done very quickly. As soon as the results came out, Caesar excitedly hugged Miano and said, "It worked! We succeeded! The people in the base are saved!"
Ordinary people have starved to death in the Mousse Military Academy, and the unrest in various places has been barely suppressed by force, but if it continues like this, it will soon be impossible to suppress it.
No wonder Caesar was so excited.
Miannuo's face flushed. "Master Xi, Master Xi Ze, congratulations! Let's go. You should get some rest early..."
"Okay." Caesar's heat cooled down, and he gradually calmed down. He smiled and said, "Thank you."
As soon as the two stepped out of the door of the research institute, Caesar stopped in his tracks. Moss, who should have been resting in bed, was standing there, looking at him from afar.
"You go first." Caesar said goodbye to Miano.
"Wait a minute! Master Caesar!"
With his arm grabbed by Mianno, Caesar turned back in confusion and saw Mianno's eyes wide open, gleaming in the darkness. "Master Caesar, I like you!"
Caesar was stunned by this sudden confession and didn't react. He opened his mouth to say something when a dark shadow blocked his way and moved Miano's hand away.
"He's found someone." Moss raised his chin. "Little brat, go back and practice for a few more years, and you'll find your ideal partner, but it definitely won't be Caesar."
Miano was originally an introvert, and confessing his feelings took all his courage. When Moss said this, he ran away with a red face.
Caesar glanced at Moss, and his heartbeat inexplicably began to accelerate, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Is Moss going to mention their relationship?
However, Moss did not do that. He just held Caesar's hand as usual and escorted Caesar back to the dormitory in silence. He watched Caesar eat the cookies, then wash up and go to bed.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, the news that Master Caesar had developed a solution to the insect toxin spread like wildfire throughout the entire Mousse Military Academy. The good news brought smiles to the faces of the interstellar people in every base, and they all asked in excited tones when the cafeteria would be open for meals.
Can't wait to eat insect meat!
As for whether anyone finds eating insect meat disgusting? Well, maybe a week ago, some did, but after experiencing the fear of starvation and even death, no one cares whether the meat's origin is ugly or horrific.
Compared to life, these are trivial matters.
Ever since Caesar tried making a meal of insect meat and serving it to the higher-ups and the combat team in the cafeteria, everyone's become even more motivated to kill the mutant bugs. They used to just treat them as enemies to be strangled, but now it's different. These are all plump, white pieces of meat! Such a delicious delicacy, someone had never imagined it before! As they killed the mutant bugs, their mouths watered!
"Don't worry, we will definitely bring back a bunch of fresh meat this time!" Early in the morning, it was the day for the combat team to set off for the front line as usual. In addition to the original combat team of one thousand people, another thousand people from Yu Sheng's elite legion were added, a total of two thousand people, and they marched towards the border of the safe zone.
Under Yu Sheng's leadership, their safe zone has been expanding. Xi Ze and several manufacturing masters rebuilt and repaired the defense shield to firmly protect the safe zone.
Outside the safe zone, it looks deserted and dead silent, but if you look closely, you can see bulges on the ground, some even trembling. These are dormant mutant insects. As long as one interstellar person steps out, all the mutant insects will be awakened immediately.
Silver Dragon extended a gun from his chest and aimed at one of the inconspicuous bulges.
"Bang--"
The bullet flew out, and the dirt on the bulge splattered everywhere. A colorful green mutant insect was directly exploded, and the combat team immediately cheered:
"Awesome General! You can even aim at the toughest bug doctor with blind shooting!"
"Brothers, we have to work hard too! We can't embarrass the general!"
The Bug Doctor is a rare Zerg species. Its mucus can restore Zergs that have not been hit in vital areas but have lost their ability to move to 100% combat effectiveness within a few seconds. The mutated Bug Doctor not only has stronger healing power, but also has evolved a very terrifying ability: camouflage.
The mutant Zerg Doctor can disguise himself as other Zerg of similar size, and from the outside, there is no way to tell the difference. On the battlefield, you can only see those Zergs that you worked so hard to kill, or even spent half your life to kill, coming back to life one by one and continuing to attack vigorously, but you can't find which one is the culprit.
Therefore, for others, Yu Sheng's ability to accurately kill a mutant insect doctor in the dense mounds of earth was simply a miracle.
As soon as the mutant insect doctor died, all the earth mounds exploded, and countless mutant insects crawled out of the soil, opening their mouths and making shrill hissing sounds, and fought with the soldiers of the combat team.
Yu Sheng stood in the center of the army, riding his silver dragon, stepping on each one to his left and squeezing each one to his right, looking majestic. The insect pulp exploded, and green and black slime mixed with mud clung to the silver dragon, but this did not diminish its charm in the slightest.
The battle was in full swing when a strange sound wave suddenly sounded, penetrating through the sounds of countless Zerg and Humans and falling straight into Yu Sheng's eardrum.
Trap sound waves!
Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes and expanded the silver dragon's search range. On the light screen, behind the countless Zerg armies, there was indeed a golden dot representing the intelligent Zerg.
It's Oleville.
When he thought of these four words, the scene of Nan Suo kneeling on the ground holding Lyle's head appeared uncontrollably in Yu Sheng's mind.
Lyle's entire body was eaten by Olewell, leaving only his head thrown on the ground. His expression was frozen in astonishment, helplessness, and pain. No one knew what he was thinking a second before he died. Perhaps he was afraid and hoped that his master would save him, or perhaps he hated his master who pushed him to the guillotine, or perhaps he thought nothing at all.
Yu Sheng shook his head, threw these unnecessary memories out of his mind, and focused on the battlefield.
Why think about that? Lyle is dead, Nanso was executed for treason, and these two people disappeared from the stars. No one cares about their stories.
The trapping sound waves continued, and the long, mournful notes were extremely penetrating. However, except for Yu Sheng, no one felt anything unusual, and of course no one had any abnormal behavior that seemed like they were being controlled. It seemed that the trapping sound waves were directed at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng thought about it, then drove the silver dragon towards the direction where Olewell was.
Sensing his approach, the golden dot representing Olewell also moved rapidly, getting closer and closer to the mountains on the west side.
Yu Sheng poured his mental power into the silver dragon's body, increasing its speed to the highest level. The human-shaped silver dragon burst out with power and suddenly closed the distance with Olewell. At this time, Olewell had already jumped into the canyon between the two mountains, and Yu Sheng also got in without hesitation.
The moment Yu Sheng got in, the golden dot stopped moving.
Countless mutant insects pounced from both sides of the mountain range and wrapped the silver dragon tightly. The silver dragon was knocked to the ground. After a moment, a dragon roar resounded through the world, shaking the mountains. Countless mutant insects were flushed away from the silver dragon's body. The soaring red dragon raised its head high, and its majestic dragon eyes met Olewell's, and it roared again.
Oleville's eyes flashed with fanaticism, and he continued to emit strange trapping sound waves, as if deliberately countering the dragon's roar. From underground, in the sky, and in all directions, the mutated insect army seemed endless, surrounding the silver dragon and making it unable to move.
Could it be that he had entered a Zerg nest? The Zerg's headquarters on Mantu?
Yu Sheng's fingers on the console almost turned into shadows that could not be captured by the naked eye. The red dragon killed one mutant insect after another, but the mutant insects continued to emerge. Finally, Yu Sheng was exhausted by the mutant insect army's round-the-clock battle, and his mental strength was on the verge of exhaustion. The silver dragon's movements also began to slow down due to the fatigue of his mental strength.
Olewell raised the corners of his lips.
"Boom--" The silver dragon finally fell down and turned into a small mecha and landed on Yu Sheng's chest. Countless mutant insects lay on the ground, surrounding the unconscious Yu Sheng, but the mutant insects in the innermost circle were about ten meters away from Yu Sheng.
A flying mutant insect, perhaps injured, fell from mid-air. Just as it was about to land on Yu Sheng, a figure suddenly flashed over and grabbed the flying insect. Without even making a sound, the insect was crushed into pieces by two fingers. Mucus flowed down the pair of white fingers. Oleville took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the mucus off his hands. His expression was extremely ferocious, "Except for me, no one is qualified to touch him!"
The next second, Olewell's expression changed instantly, from ferocious to gentle, which made people even more horrified. He squatted down and gently brushed Yu Sheng's face with his fingers.
"My Queen of Insects, welcome here..."
