Chapter 16 Questions
The thin female insect raised her arms tremblingly.
Thin, scarred arms.
Still alive! That's great!
An Lang took Lan Xiu and flew up again.
He didn't know how long he flew until he fell to the ground exhausted.
The thin female insect in his arms looked at him with a pair of red eyes.
An Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned over and hugged Lan Xiu, burying his head deeply in his shoulder.
"I'm so glad you're not dead!"
"I was so scared!"
He rambled on and on, feeling relieved.
If Lan Xiu really died tragically because of him, An Lang couldn't imagine how guilty he would feel.
The weight of a life is too heavy for him.
The female insect being hugged by him opened her red eyes and felt the slight damp heat on her shoulder.
His eyes revealed a rare hint of confusion.
Is this male insect...crying?
Why?
Are you glad he's not dead?
Very strange.
The Anlang Cofflin of this world is very strange.
Or rather, An Lang is very strange in this world after losing his memory.
If Lan Xiu had previously suspected that this 'An Lang' was deliberately pretending to be kind in order to deceive the female insects and play with them.
But at this moment he had to admit that this 'An Lang' was different from the An Lang in his previous life, different from the An Lang before he lost his memory, and different from any other male insect.
No male insect will risk his life for a female insect.
It's really strange.
It's so weird.
Lan Xiu admired in his heart: Let me see what’s different about you, Anlang.
——
"Hey, don't move, be careful of the wound opening!"
An Lang was holding a wild fruit in his hand. When he was climbing the tree just now, he looked up at the sky and found that all the headlights high up were out. The light at this moment came from the sun outside the wall of light.
This means that he has been in the 'Infinity' area for a whole night.
But why didn’t Rayleigh and the others come to rescue?
It shouldn't be!
No matter how slow he was, he could tell something was wrong.
"Something must have happened outside." An Lang fiddled with his personal insect terminal. Unfortunately, the entire 'Boundless' area had signal shielding for communication equipment, and he was unable to communicate with the outside world.
The only working headset was lost during the escape.
An Lang covered the cave entrance with branches. Although they had hidden in the cave, it was not completely safe. "There are more than just two of us in here. I hope the rescue team can get here soon..."
The situation was urgent just now and he had no time to think about it. Now that he was free, he slowly realized that the white-haired female insect should be in the same group with the locust rebels. This could explain why he appeared in the "Infinite" area.
The strange thing was that the female insect didn't kill him.
Lan Xiu glanced at An Lang's cat-like face, then at the wild fruit in his hand.
"This is a bit sour, but it should be edible..." An Lang rubbed his right shoulder. He really didn't have much ability to survive in the wild. He only dared to give this fruit to Lan Xiu after seeing a few insect holes on it.
This was the best fruit he could find. It fell off the tree when he picked it, but fortunately the tree was not very tall.
"Your Highness and I think differently." Lan Xiu suddenly said.
Lan Xiu had said something similar before, and An Lang wiped his face: "You and I think differently, Lan Xiu. I see you speak in a soft voice, and you actually dared to fight Xingzhi! You are very brave!"
"Your Highness, why would you save me?" Lan Xiu didn't respond to An Lang's question. He tilted his head and asked, "As you can see, I'm just a female insect that can't revert to its ancestral form. It wouldn't be a pity if I died in the 'Boundless' area, but you are a male insect."
"Lan Xiu, the lives of humans...insects cannot be measured by these things." An Lang looked seriously at the frail female insect in front of him. "Your life is just as precious as mine. It doesn't matter what gender, ability, or status we have."
"The same?" Lan Xiu smiled.
An Lang didn't know why he felt a chill in his smile.
But when he looked carefully, he found nothing.
The cave became quiet. An Lang, who had not slept all night, was exhausted and leaned against a rock, drowsy.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard Lan Xiu say softly.
"Your Highness, our destinies are different."
"If I were the only one in here, no insect would come to save me. But if you were trapped here, even if I had to flatten the Infinity, the Mantis Lord would still rescue you."
An Lang drooped his eyelids and mumbled, "I will save you... I will come."
"Really? Your Highness will always save me?"
"Um……"
In the dim cave, a tall figure stood in the shadows, his long white hair winding on the ground, actually illuminating the cave a little.
"Then when I discover that Your Highness is lying, that will be the day of Your Highness's death."
——
"This is... His Highness's headset! It's broken!" The female soldier who came to search found the black headset hidden in the fallen leaves.
Rayleigh's face became uglier. If anything happened to His Highness, he would be to blame.
You Zhuo's expression was not good either. "He came to the Colosseum during the actual combat period, and even dared to come to the 'Boundless' area. He really thinks that the Star Beasts and the female insects pamper him like that—"
"Keep looking, if you can't find us we'll all be buried with you!"
"yes!"
——
"Lan Xiu, you wait in the cave, I have to go out." An Lang hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind.
After all, the system's warning is still fresh in my mind.
If he missed this opportunity to connect with the white-haired female insect, he might have been killed at any time.
"Your Highness, are you going to abandon me?" The thin female insect with red eyes leaned against the rock wall. The wound on his abdomen looked much better, at least it stopped bleeding.
"Hey! How is this possible!" An Lang felt that Lan Xiu's attitude had finally softened a little, "I just..."
"Just what?" Lan Xiu asked, his courage growing a lot.
"Hey...how can I tell you!" An Lang scratched his head. He couldn't say that he knew that a female insect would pull his head off in the future!
"Your Highness, if you are in trouble, you don't have to tell me." Lan Xiu lowered his head. "I will wait here for Your Highness."
"I..." An Lang finally sat down next to Lan Xiu. "Forget it, let's wait until the rescue team arrives."
"I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment." An Lang apologized. He had just made a mistake. If he hadn't left Lan Xiu alone, Lan Xiu wouldn't have been swept away by a large group of star beasts. "I guess I scared you just now."
"Is it something important?" Lan Xiu asked softly. He looked very uneasy.
"Yeah." An Lang nodded, and to prevent Lan Xiu from worrying, he added, "Not really."
It was just an ordinary female insect who wanted to kill him.
An Lang sighed in his heart.
The time and space anomaly probably refers to the villain suddenly appearing here... but the villain doesn't seem to have any killing intentions. Does this mean that his three-day crisis is over?
"How did Your Highness find me?" Lan Xiu asked.
An Lang reached out and ruffled his hair, feeling that the kid was finally getting a little braver.
He felt a sense of accomplishment.
It's like a stray kitten finally crawling out from under the sofa after being constantly freeze-dried.
"When I came back, I saw the rags on the ground and thought you were... But then I saw drops of blood on the ground, so I followed the blood drops. Luckily, I met a female insect who showed me the way." An Lang replied.
"Your Highness knew that I was captured by Xingzhi, but you still insisted on coming to find me?"
An Lang lowered his head and saw Lan Xiu's sparkling eyes.
Lan Xiu's eyes are very big, and when he looks at him like this, he looks like a puppy.
[Can you tell me the story of how you chose me from a bunch of puppies again? ]
An Lang suddenly felt as if his heart was hit.
It was like when he and his grandmother met a dog dealer in the market. The dealer saw him staring at her eagerly and grabbed the last puppy out of the cage by the scruff of its neck.
"It's the last one, sell it cheaper, 150!"
Grandma doesn't like dogs. She pulled Anlang away and said, "You're not allowed to keep these things. If you keep them at home, their fur will fly everywhere and they can cause infectious diseases!"
When the dog dealer saw that he was about to leave, he quickly stuffed the puppy into his arms.
The silent puppy, who was being held by the scruff of the neck, was hurriedly held in the arms of young Anlang.
The puppy rested its milky paws on his shoulders and nuzzled his face with its wet nose.
An Lang felt his heart feel sour and soft, like a piece of candy soaked in hot water.
In the end, grandma still pulled him away. An Lang kept looking back and saw that the little puppy was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and put into the iron cage again.
There was no cotton in the iron cage, and the four still tender little paws were restlessly stepping on the iron bars that hurt their feet.
It looked in Anlang's direction and whimpered a few times.
The crowd was so crowded that Anlang soon lost sight of it.
An Lang couldn't help but rub Lan Xiu's head again. Lan Xiu squinted his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and even moved a little closer to him.
——It really looks like a puppy.
"I can't just watch you get eaten by the star beast!" An Lang suddenly felt overwhelmed with a sense of responsibility, and felt that he must take good care of his younger brother.
Lan Xiu has neither relatives nor friends, and is treated like this by his own family. He is even physically impaired.
He must be in a lot of pain...
"Then Your Highness wants to go out and find that female insect now?" Lan Xiu continued to ask.
An Lang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Yes, I have to thank him."
Lan Xiu narrowed his eyes.
lie.
If An Lang really wanted to thank him, why would he risk his life to do so at this time?
And who else could the female insect that appeared in "The Boundless" be except the seriously injured criminal?
He didn't believe that An Lang was as stupid as a pig and couldn't even think of this.
Lan Xiu was a little annoyed. Perhaps he shouldn't waste time on An Lang.
Just kill him.
An Lang didn't realize he was on the verge of death. He just thought Lan Xiu's doubts came from his fear of being left behind, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't leave you a single insect."
