Chapter 123 Contact
The noise grew louder and louder.
This is the most prosperous and darkest place on the planet D902.
Only here did I realize that the appearance of Bannock City can be considered gentle.
All the buildings on this street are built with giant star beast skeletons and the wreckage of eliminated mechas. They are uneven and reveal a smell of blood and desolation.
There is no base station on the D902 satellite, which means there is no star network.
The insects here are unable to communicate with the outside world, making this a no-man's land, making it a breeding ground for fugitives and space pirates. Any insect caught on this planet carries a crime, big or small.
But these criminals also need happiness, and fortunately, the Zerg's happiness always comes very directly.
Fighting and male insects.
Just these two things.
There are naturally no male insects on such a garbage planet, so fighting becomes the only way to obtain happiness and vent emotions.
"You want to borrow a base station? Hahahahaha, you must be joking, brat! Have you even asked where we are?"
The muscular female insect lowered her head and looked at the black-haired insect in front of her with a ferocious smile on her face.
"This is an arena, not a charity. Get out of here—"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to throw this ignorant bug out.
"100." Huo Xiu held his wrist.
He had heard the rules here. As long as he defeated 100 insects, he could make a condition to the main insect here.
The female thug grinned: "Defeat me first!"
"I'm in a hurry."
Huo Xiu looked at the fighters in the back row and the female insects on the ring, and said calmly, "Let's go together."
"What a big tone!"
"You bastard, who the hell gave you the guts?"
"I'll twist you into a worm-like stick!"
The insects on the stage who were preparing for the competition turned around with a sinister grin, and saw a tall insect standing below the stage.
His collar was buttoned up to the top, and his face was stern, giving him the appearance of a civilized insect, completely different from the shirtless female insects in the arena.
Huo Xiu stood on the stage, and the spectators below were talking in a flurry.
"I heard there's a bug trying to cause a river of blood?"
"Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen such a brave bug!"
"Tsk, the bugs I challenged last two months died miserably—"
"Hahaha, let's place a bet!"
"Come on, come on, place your bets!"
"I bet he'll be torn into five pieces!"
Ome reminded Huo Xiu from a place where the insects couldn't see him: "Don't use your supernatural powers too strongly. These female insects are not high level. Their spiritual seas are completely exposed to you. Be gentle when you strike..."
Before it finished speaking, blue-purple lightning instantly spread out from under Huo Xiu's feet.
The sizzling sound resounded throughout the venue, and the next moment, all the insects that were rushing towards Huo Xiu lay on the ground.
"ah--"
“What the hell!!”
"What's this?!"
Huo Kai combined the modified lightning energy with his spiritual tentacles to deal with these female insects whose spiritual seas were fragile. It was like using an electric mosquito swatter to slaughter them.
"42." Huo Xiu glanced at them, then looked at the bugs below and urged calmly, "58 more."
The bugs lying on the ground were trying to struggle, but were knocked down by lightning before they could get up. City Lord Huo's more than ten years of experience in fighting zombies allowed him to maximize his group attack skills.
There was a wailing in the ring, and the bugs below the ring were all speechless. They all looked at Huo Xiu in shock.
The scene seemed to freeze for a moment.
In the arena, there have been one-on-many battles.
But no bug can take down so many opponents with just one move.
"I'm in a hurry."
Huo Xiu looked around at the audience below the stage, and finally turned his gaze to the second floor.
——That’s the VIP area here.
There must be someone in charge.
So Huo Xiu started walking upstairs.
"stop!"
"What are you doing? Stop, stop!"
Guards kept rushing out, but it was a garbage planet after all, and the weapons and equipment here were too backward.
Huo Xiu quickly knocked down these female insects and walked to the box in the center.
"Knock knock."
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"I have something to discuss with you."
The door was not open. Huo Xiu was not an impolite person, but he was in a hurry.
——That guy Carlos is going crazy.
Since it wouldn't open, he had no choice but to kick it hard.
"Don't come over here!"
The female insect inside had been frightened to the point of reversion, but it was obvious that it had lived a life of luxury for a long time. Its body was one of the few fat ones among the insects. The two hard shells could not even completely cover its white belly.
The fat boss raised the laser gun in a hurry.
The next moment, a blue-purple light flashed by, and the gun turned to ashes in his hand.
The fat boss's orange-red pupils kept trembling, and finally turned into trembling vertical pupils.
"What are you going to do?!" he said as he backed away. In his eyes, Huo Xiu was even more terrifying than the god of death.
——With such overwhelming power, what on earth does this bug want?!
"I want to borrow the base station." Huo Xiu stopped.
"Borrow a base station?!"
The fat boss looked at him in disbelief.
"Is it not possible?"
Huo Xiu frowned. If that didn't work, he would have no choice but to resort to violence.
"Okay, okay, you should have told me earlier!!!" the fat boss breathed a sigh of relief.
Why is borrowing a base station making such a big fuss!!!
——
Huo Xiu was invited to the VIP area by the owner of the arena.
"Please."
This is the only base station on the D902 satellite. It is equipped with a visual communication system, but it is not movable - equivalent to a landline phone.
Huo Xiu quickly dialed Carlos's communication ID, but no one answered.
His face darkened and his slender fingers kept tapping on the table.
The fat boss on the side huddled in the corner trembling with fear, trying his best to reduce his presence.
This bug failed to communicate and will not destroy his base station!
Although he was a space pirate, he had retired for a long time and finally found a desolate and remote place.
There are no high-level bugs here, and he, an A-level female bug, can act arrogantly here.
Huo Xiu changed his number again.
After a long wait for the ringtone, Harvey's tired face appeared on the screen.
Huo Xiu clearly saw Harvey's eyes change from - - to OO.
"Huo, Huo Xiu?!"
He cried out.
At this moment, Harvey had no time to care why Huo Xiu, an AI, had a physical body. He only knew that he had to tell Carlos about this!
Before Huo Xiu could answer, the picture began to shake violently - if a terminal equipped with a good anti-shake device could shake like this, you can imagine how big Harvey's movements were.
"Carlos! Stop! It's Huo Xiu!" Harvey's voice came from the screen, "Huo Xiu is still alive!"
This sentence sounded a bit strange. After all, Huo Xiu, who existed in the NPC state, had no life in the strict sense - it was Carlos who changed this.
Then, Huo Xiu saw Carlos.
——The bug he had been worried about.
The color of his platinum hair had long been lost, and his face was covered in dried blood and out-of-control insect armor.
Ferocious and dirty.
Only the pair of green eyes emitting faint flames could reveal the identity of the insect.
But those green eyes were completely different from what we usually see. In the vertical pupil state, the green eyes seemed to be covered with glowing cracks, like the cracked land after a volcanic eruption.
It seemed as if the next moment, the phantom fire overflowing from the cracks would burn the owner of the eyes to ashes.
"...Carlos."
Huo Xiudao.
The pair of green eyes stared at the screen intently, and after a few seconds, they pounced in front of the screen as if waking from a dream.
"Huo Xiu!"
"Carlos, I'm in D902."
Huo Xiu looked at the boss who was pretending to be dead in the corner, and the boss quickly reported the coordinates of the arena.
"Huo Xiu!"
That was all Carlos seemed to be able to say as he gripped the terminal tightly and pressed his face against the screen.
"Don't use force--" Harvey shouted from behind, and with a clicking sound, the screen in front of Huo Xiu turned black.
Carlos crushed Harvey's terminal.
A minute later, an unfamiliar call came in.
Huo Xiu clicked to answer the call.
Carlos's face appeared on the screen again.
"Huo Xiu!" Carlos's sobbing was very obvious.
"Carlos, I'm here." Huo Xiu lowered his voice.
Before this, Huo Xiu had thought for a second - how far he and Carlos would go.
But the moment he heard Carlos' voice, Huo Xiu understood.
He wants to save this female insect.
This guy, whose personality is so twisted, hateful and pitiful, has entered that invisible boundary.
So, he is his man.
Ome detected Huo Xiu's increasing intimacy with Carlos, and it quietly corrected Huo Xiu: "It's your bug."
“…”
"You are a bug now too." Ome continued.
“…”
"Well..." the arena owner said cautiously, "This base station will automatically shut down if a call lasts more than two minutes."
He set this up to prevent being tracked and located by the federal government.
At the same time, his communication number was also encrypted, but he didn't know the identity of the bug on the other side, and he cracked the program in less than a minute.
However, the two-minute call duration cannot be changed. The boss was afraid of being implicated later, so he quickly made a statement.
"I'll wait for you." Huo Xiu looked at Carlos in the lens and soothed him, "Be good."
"Huo Xiu!"
Carlos leaned against the screen, a movement that magnified the scars on his face.
Huo Xiu's gaze lingered for a moment on the insect armor with cracks.
"Go to the treatment cabin."
Carlos held the bug terminal without moving.
Thirty seconds later, the communication was disconnected and the base station fell into forced sleep.
The arena owner looked at Huo Xiu with a troubled expression: "...Carlos, is that Carlos?"
After all, the boss was once a space pirate. Anyone who works in this field must have heard of Carlos's name.
However, he couldn't imagine that the bug that was about to cry on the screen was the famous star pirate.
But those glowing green eyes seemed to reveal his identity.
Huo Xiu didn't answer. He glanced at the boss, who quickly put on a smile.
"You can rest here. I will report to you as soon as I have any news."
Two hours later, the boss came running in panting.
"Here, here comes a starship! They've forced a landing—"
