Chapter 120 Rescue
Elro's method really works.
And Carlos also showed his talent.
He has a strong talent in combat and was able to shoot down a star beast and return home successfully on his first attempt at piloting a mecha.
He is not afraid of pain, not afraid of death, and is extremely loyal——
If all had gone as Elro had wished, he would have held the weapon firmly in his hand throughout the decades from Carlos's growth to his uncontrolled death.
As long as he possesses this sharp weapon that was created and forged by him, he can lead the Palmer family to another peak of glory.
——Isn’t this the reason why Carlos was created?
Elro suffered great humiliation for this and became alienated from his civilian leader.
But it's all worth it.
The glory of the Palmer family is what he pursues all his life.
But if you take risks frequently, you will inevitably fall.
During a loss of control, Carlos drank too much blood, which seriously injured Elro and cut off his chances of advancing.
But it is not without reward - Carlos, who is about to become an adult, is even more devoted to the Palmer family, no, to Elro.
Even Carlos had gradually discovered that Elro's attitude towards him and Jeremy was completely different.
Jeremy never needed the training, the desperate struggle to survive. He learned strategy, management, and etiquette.
When Carlos was thrown into the pile of star beasts, Jeremy was learning how to win the favor of male insects - even in the Federation, the status of low-level male insects was not high, and they would even be bought and sold and raised by noble female insects, but those noble male insects were all very arrogant.
"Because Jeremy is a Class B female," Elro whispered, his deep green eyes fixed on Carlos. "He wouldn't survive on the battlefield."
"The glory of the Palmer family depends on you. The powerful female insect will endure more tests." This is how he encouraged Carlos.
But as time went on, Elro gradually realized that the damage caused to him by that accident was more serious than expected.
His vitality was severely damaged and he aged rapidly, so his lifespan was naturally not as long as that of other female insects.
Sooner or later, the position of Patriarch would have to be passed to another bug, and he only had two bug cubs. Carlos was a no-brainer, but Jeremy's rank wasn't even his, so he couldn't hold onto the Patriarch's position.
unless--
Carlos was as loyal to Jeremy as he was to him.
He intended to bring Carlos and Jeremy into contact, and even let Carlos enter the school.
But Jeremy was impulsive, and in Carlos's words, a fool.
Not only did he fail to understand Elro's good intentions, but he also treated Carlos as an enemy insect to compete with him.
Because of Carlos's platinum hair and emerald green eyes, even though he had never received any etiquette training, he seemed to have a natural nobility.
His S-level talent and years of combat experience made him the most popular person in the school.
All of Jeremy's classmates think that Carlos is the one who will inherit the Palmer family.
And Jeremy, who only got a B-, was just a humble shadow under his shining halo.
Jeremy even doubted what he heard in his father's office that year.
Maybe the female father really used Carlos as a weapon at the beginning, but Carlos was so outstanding and he was so mediocre.
The female father was even willing to use her blood and essence to feed Carlos, and even drop in rank for him.
——How can you say this is not love?
The more Jeremy thought about it, the more anxious he became.
When Carlos once again won first place in the mecha competition, Jeremy was completely overwhelmed by jealousy and told Carlos everything he had heard.
Tell him he has always been a sharp weapon, a domesticated tearing dog.
But Carlos's reaction was flat.
He didn't even spare Jeremy a glance.
Carlos still holds an important position in the family, and even appears by his side when his patriarch attends some important meetings.
Jeremy realizes he must remove Carlos from the Palmer family.
Only in this way can he avoid turning into ashes under his shadow.
Jeremy found this opportunity easily. After all, Carlos was a female insect who had been on the verge of losing control for a long time.
He even has a history of harming his paternal mother.
During that out-of-control incident, Carlos almost sucked all of Jeremy's blood.
No one cared why Carlos lost control or why Jeremy appeared on the training ground.
Carlos suffered an unprecedented severe punishment——
The members of the Palmer family believe that Carlos is an uncontrollable factor. Sooner or later, he will suck all the blood of the Palmer family in order to alleviate the symptoms of his mental frenzy.
They demanded Carlos' death.
Carlos's paternal father, Elro, the head of the Palmer family, who always held a sharp knife, agreed.
It was also at that time that Carlos realized his own identity.
He is not Elro's daughter.
Jeremy is.
If a weapon harms its owner or the owner's children, it will be destroyed.
——
"It's all thanks to you, otherwise I would still be a shrew in the Palmer family."
Carlos smiled and patted Jeremy's face.
"The blood of a distant relative has kept me alive for seven years. You and I are even more closely related. If I suck you dry, can I live a few more years?"
Jeremy's pupils trembled violently, the scene of Carlos killing the doctor was still vivid in his mind.
"No, don't kill me! Don't kill me! Father! Save me!"
Jeremy no longer had the arrogance he remembered. He was shaking violently and even became incontinent.
"Alas--"
Carlos dragged his broken wings in disgust, grabbed his head with one hand and broke it.
With a "click".
Elro's eyes were split open.
"Jeremy!"
Carlos threw his body down.
"You really think I'll drink your blood? It stinks."
The moment Jeremy was thrown down, all the guns that were ready to fire were fired at Carlos.
"Whether he lives or dies—" Elro roared, "this beast!"
Carlos is indeed very strong. He can fight against a hundred people alone, and he can fight against mechas with his physical body.
But that doesn't mean he can break out of the siege of so many mechas.
What's more, this starship has activated Level V defense. It's hard to say about other aspects of the Palmer family, but the quality of the starship is first-class.
He can't get out.
He was able to hold on for so long before because Elro ordered not to harm his life, and later because Jeremy was held hostage by him.
But now Jeremy was dead, and his sire wouldn't want to spare his life.
Carlos was not afraid of death. He had known for a long time that he would not live long, so he was quite happy when Jeremy provoked him this time.
——Revenge your revenge if you have one, and take revenge on your grievances if you have one.
The Palmer family was a rotten place, buying and selling male insects, using drugs, and conducting illegal insect experiments. Carlos really couldn't see why it still had a reason to exist.
I don’t have much time left anyway, so I might as well do a good deed and get rid of them all at once.
Carlos had only one regret.
Just a little, really.
He was quite reluctant to part with Huo Xiu.
I wonder if the virtual male insect will feel sad for him when he finds out that he is dead?
If only they had met earlier.
If it had happened earlier, Carlos would have stopped fighting. His mental state would have been much better than it is now, and he could have lasted for at least another three or four years.
Maybe we can wait until the simulated insect body is developed.
He also specially arranged the functions of some key parts, so that he could play happily with Huo Xiu.
Now, he could only hope that Harvey would work harder and put his data into "Godless World" as an NPC -
Together with Huo Xiu.
Become a product belonging to Lily Garden.
The development of the simulated insect body will continue. Since Carlos promised to give Huo Xiu a body, he will do it.
Will self-aware AI be sad?
I guess so.
But he believed that Huo Xiu, a cold-hearted guy, would not be depressed because of him.
It is possible to avenge him.
Maybe after you have a body, you will meet other female insects.
For example, the swallowtail butterfly with colorful wings, and the unknown stink bug with golden luster.
Damn it.
He doesn't want to die anymore.
A mecha appeared silently behind him, and Carlos turned around with interest.
This guy's operation is pretty good. It seems that the Palmer family's personal soldiers are not all useless.
——
"0198! Try to capture him alive!"
The commander's cold voice came from the mecha. Huo Xiu lowered his eyes and quickly locked onto Elro who was communicating with the commander in the swarm.
You didn't care about life or death just now, but you changed your mind so quickly?
It seems that Elro's love for his other female is just this much.
No, there is another possibility.
Huo Xiu quickly figured it out. It was impossible for Elro to have children at his age, but... Carlos was still young.
He has already lost his only heir, so naturally he will turn his attention to Carlos.
Young, S-level, and also of the Palmer family.
As for the frenzy of his spiritual sea, that was not a problem. He only needed Carlos to lay a bug egg.
Carlos also obviously understood something from the sudden drop in the density of the artillery fire. He curled the corners of his mouth, completely gave up on defense, and turned his action into a full-scale attack.
He flew towards the area where the insects were concentrated.
His target was Elro.
This disgusting bug is still concerned about the continuation of the Palmer family at this time.
A mecha blocked his way again.
Carlos's eyes fell on the number 0198 engraved on the cockpit.
"What a nuisance!"
Carlos flew towards the cockpit with a grim smile, his five fingers turned into sharp points and stabbed straight into the cockpit.
——Empty.
Carlos paused.
Then, the cockpit door quickly opened and the mechanical arm that was holding the pilot grabbed his waist.
Belt and pull.
Carlos was secured in the driver's seat.
The hatch closed.
The commander's excited voice came from inside the mecha. He was extremely excited! Catching Carlos would definitely be a great achievement!
"0198! Bring him back!"
Then, Carlos heard a familiar voice.
That sound could appear in the game, it could appear in his memories, but it should never appear in the Palmer family's mecha.
He said it in a decisive tone, his voice extremely cold.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."
