Chapter 63 Recycling
Ashley didn't respond. The fact that he didn't attack again was a sign of camaraderie among the same race.
But the freshman standing at the door obviously didn't understand what Ashley meant. He didn't show any embarrassment when Ashley ignored his outstretched hand.
"Senior, would you like to try this specialty from my hometown? It's really delicious." Lins picked up the bag that was hooked on his index finger. "Ah, thank goodness it's not broken."
He muttered, "Senior has such a bad temper."
Then he changed the subject: "Senior, can I touch your abdomen?"
At this moment, Ashley was still in half-human, half-insect form, and this sentence was considered a provocation to a female insect.
Ashley's eyes darkened. He didn't want to cause any trouble on the first day back to school, but that didn't mean he would tolerate a female insect provoking him.
He was ready to teach this presumptuous female insect a lesson.
"I have never successfully transformed." The female insect standing at the door sounded a little lost.
The spider silk that shot out has already stuck to the young man's abdomen.
Upon hearing this, the spider silk shooting slowed down.
Immediately afterwards, the young man was pulled out of the door by a huge force.
Then the perspective changed
He was wrapped like a cocoon and hung at the door of Room 306.
With a click, the door opposite slammed shut.
Lins swayed twice in the air due to the wind brought by the closing door.
He curled the corners of his mouth.
Isn't this a good temper?
——He didn’t kill him.
Lins' hands were wrapped tightly. He tried to jump a few times using the strength of his waist and abdomen. Sure enough, the toughness of the spider silk was as strong as ever. Even though it looked only a thin strand, it was not easily broken.
No one knew what was going on on this floor. Lins waited for half an hour but no one came out. He could only hang there in boredom.
"Senior! Senior Ashley!" Lins yelled, "Untie me! My hands are going numb from hanging any longer."
The room opposite was silent.
Lins knew that the doors here were very soundproof, and he believed that people in other dormitories couldn't hear it, but he was sure that Ashley could "hear" it.
Spiders have super-sensitive sensory receptors on their feet.
It is well known that the spirit body is the vanguard of the interspotted spider.
What's more, Ashley's lower body is in spider form.
After thinking for a while, Lins began to sway gently. The middle part of his body was tied tightly, but his feet were exposed.
He began to play on the wall with his toes.
【do do re do ti sol la do la】
I heard the rooster crowing in the early morning.
【re re re do ti ti do re】
Open the windows and doors to welcome the morning light——
Before he finished playing the second sentence, the door opposite banged open again.
"Hi--"
The culprit seemed completely unaware of how annoying he was. He smiled and waved his toes towards the female insect standing in the shadow, thinking it was a wave.
Anyway, for spiders, aren’t hands and feet both walking legs?
"It's so boring hanging here. I'll play the piano for a while. It won't bother the senior, right?"
The young man hanging on the door had his eyes curved with an innocent expression.
Only the exposed little fangs showed a bit of viciousness.
Ashley had transformed back into human form. He was very tall, and when he stood there, his legs almost touched the door frame. He was also very handsome, but his expression was not very good.
He looked coldly at the grinning female insect, thinking that he shouldn't have shown mercy just now.
Ashley shot out spider silk to bind the young man's feet. Lins began to feel that something was wrong. He stretched out his voice: "Senior——"
Then the whole thing was changed.
Lins was about to say something when he saw Ashley's scarlet eyes glance down and a sticky and flexible thing wrapped around his mouth.
“…”
The next moment, Ashley felt a strange vibration from the spider silk that had not yet been retracted.
The slender spider silk is like a sensitive and honest nerve, conveying all the feelings at the end to the owner truthfully.
Warm, flexible, and moist.
Ashley's eyes were dark. Even though they were both spotted spiders, not everyone could absorb his spider silk.
"Oops, I accidentally recycled Senior's spider silk."
The upside-down young man flipped over with a nimble move, and stood back on the ground. He leaned lazily against the wall, his left hand fingers still leisurely rolling up the spider silk that had not yet completely melted.
He pressed his tongue against the little canine tooth and spoke slowly, "So this is what it tastes like, Senior."
His answer was a sweeping blow.
Ashley moved so quickly that her long legs left an afterimage on the retina.
Lins put one hand on the wall and pulled it upwards. Although it was a human hand with distinct knuckles, it generated huge friction the moment it touched the wall. He dodged it nimbly and landed lightly on the ground.
"Don't be angry, Senior. I'll just give it back to you."
Ashley didn't hold back anymore and the two started fighting in the hallway.
Strictly speaking, it was Ashley who was chasing him unilaterally, and Lins just dodged nimbly and tried to persuade him in a gentle tone from time to time, but it mostly just added fuel to the fire.
The suppression ring around Ashley's neck began to flash a bright red light.
“What are you doing!”
A stern voice was heard, and a team of female soldiers armed with guns appeared at the stairs.
"Ashley, stop!" He obviously knew Ashley and scolded her, "Principal Bai made an exception and allowed you to return to school because he values your talent!"
Several red spots of light have fallen on the tall female insect.
Lins looked up and saw the guards also lying on the opposite building.
Such a big deal... What did Ashley do in school before?
Ashley didn't say anything, he seemed to be always so taciturn.
"Excuse me, Instructor Yang." Lins's gaze lingered on the name tag on his chest for a moment before he smiled. "Senior and I are both dominant insect species. I rarely see others of my own kind, and I'm having some combat troubles myself, so I came to him specifically for advice."
He raised his right hand, and the snack bag that had been hanging on his finger was revealed. Lins opened the bag and found it was full of small packages of spicy beef jerky.
"I also brought some local specialties to express my gratitude to the senior."
Lins's face showed apology again: "I'm so sorry for disturbing you all!"
Instructor Yang, the leader, glanced at Lins suspiciously, but his expression softened somewhat. "If you want to fight, do it in the training grounds. Don't do it in public areas. If you do it again, it will be considered an assault."
"Ashley, the suppression ring is always connected to the internet. If you cause trouble again, even Principal Bai can't protect you."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and hooked it.
All the red dots vanished from Ashley, and the escort retreated as quickly as they had come.
They were the only two people left in the corridor again.
The suppression ring on Ashley's neck gradually dimmed, and he opened the door of 307.
Then I saw a hand stretched across my face again.
"Senior, it's really delicious. I'll give you the largest portion I got." Lins hung the snack bag on Ashley's hand.
The cold fingertips separated from his touch.
"There's something I haven't said yet." Lins smiled again, his dimples and fangs appearing simultaneously. "Nice to meet you, Senior Ashley."
——
Morton returned home just before curfew.
"Oh, guess what? The security team is out right after the school starts. I wonder which guy got into trouble right after the school starts."
Lins slurped his spicy beef jerky and replied, "Come to our place."
"Who are you trying to catch? Why?" Morton took the snack from Lins and put it in his mouth. He also hissed, "This is quite spicy."
"The spicier the better." Lins couldn't eat spicy food before because of his five senses. He wouldn't eat anything that was too sweet, too salty, or too spicy. Unexpectedly, after coming to the Zerg, he lived a happy life that he had never had before.
"Indeed." Morton agreed and continued to ask, "Go on, you haven't finished yet, but our building...it can't be the one across the street. Why?"
"Well, he refused to take my snacks, and the guards thought we were fighting."
"Not accepting your snacks? These are quite delicious." Morton was chewing on the dried meat when he suddenly realized something. His eyes widened. "Did you go to give him snacks?"
"Yes, I gave them all to our floor." It is very important to maintain good neighborhood relations.
Morton gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! You dare to knock on his door."
“Finally he accepted it.”
"Wow, it seems that insects of the same dominant species are different. We are from the same hometown." Morton is also a carefree insect. He patted Lins on the shoulder and prepared to go wash up.
Before entering the bathroom, he reminded Lins: "Go to bed early. Gather at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Our school has a tradition of welcoming freshmen."
Morton laughed, and that smile was indescribably malicious.
"Just pray that this year's instructors aren't too perverted."
The next morning, Lins arrived at the playground on time.
During his breakfast, he had already found out that Dianlin Military Academy did have a tradition—
This group of ignorant freshmen were sent to a certain venue for a half-month training on the second day after they officially entered the school.
Lins understood this point. In fact, it was just like the shaoxiang school, where military training was required for admission.
It’s just that the Zerg’s method is obviously more brutal.
During this training, they not only have to face the dangers brought by the unfamiliar terrain and star beasts on the desolate planet, but also have to face the test of the seniors - this test is also a course for the junior seniors.
They always have the happiness of becoming a mother-in-law after being caught in the rain, and they will find ways to tear other people's umbrellas into pieces.
It is said that before each draw to determine the venue, senior students would perform rituals on the spot in the hope that the next batch of freshmen would draw the most difficult terrain.
Each training session has different rules and tasks, most of which involve individual soldiers fighting across a desolate planet.
There are many ways to gain points, such as completing tasks, killing star beasts, or even choosing to beat up freshmen of the same level to gain their points, or challenge seniors of a higher level.
At the same time, the entire process will be tracked and filmed by cameras, and the points obtained and the performance during the process will be included in the assessment score.
In Zerg, cadets cannot choose their majors independently. Instructors will understand the abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of freshmen through their performance in this training, assign them to classes of different levels, and find the focus of their subsequent training.
All in all, this is a baseline test.
All freshmen attach great importance to it, as it is crucial to their future development.
Lins stood at the edge of the playground, looking at the dense crowd.
I don’t know if Ashley, who has returned to school, still needs to participate in this training camp.
He searched for a long time but didn't see any familiar figure.
Oh, so many bugs, I wish I had Ashley's eight eyes.
——
"Principal Bai, are you sure you want Ashley to participate in the freshman training? He's dangerous..."
The old female insect took a sip of tea and said in a steady voice, "A good knife needs to be sharpened if you want to use it."
"We all understand your love for talent, but if what happened two years ago were to happen again, it would have a terrible impact on our school! He showed no camaraderie at the exchange competition and nearly killed his own classmate for points. Even if such a scoundrel entered the military, he would..."
"The adverse effects are secondary. I'm just worried that Ashley will lose control again and hurt innocent people."
Principal Bai raised his hand to stop their chatter: "School is a good place to sharpen knives. If a good knife is not held properly, it means there is something wrong with the hand holding it."
"He's already obeyed orders and put on the collar to prevent atavism. The next trial will focus on him. I'll hand the controller over to Yang Li." Principal Bai sighed. "I'll have the instructors focus more on teamwork."
"Don't waste your S+ qualifications."
Having said this, the voices of opposition disappeared one by one.
Although S-level female insects are rare, they do exist.
But S+, he is the only one who survived.
——
Lins sat on the spaceship, and all the sunshades on the transparent windows were pulled down to prevent some freshmen from passing through the route or certain planets and identifying their destination.
The star network has been completely disconnected, and they are more like hostages than freshmen.
No, insecticidal.
But the hostages were not as excited as they were.
Lins silently watched the female insects around him and found that they were all very happy, with anticipation unconcealed in their eyes.
Yes, the Zerg are a violent species.
There was a constant stream of discussion all around.
With his excellent hearing, it was hard for Lins not to hear.
"Have you heard? There are male insects in this training!"
"Did a star beast eat your brain? You believe that."
"Every year they say there's a male insect, but every year it's false. Those rumors were all fake news spread by the previous generation, so that everyone can experience what inheritance means."
"Tsk, I wonder which desolate planet we'll land on. The journey is quite long. It's already been over two hours."
"The rules this time are a little different from usual. They actually require you to find teammates."
"I guessed it. The incident two years ago had a bad influence. During last year's training, many bugs killed their classmates to get high scores. The instructors gave them low evaluations. These bugs don't need to think about it. We will all be comrades on the battlefield in the future. Is it okay to practice bugism?"
"As long as you have the ability to penetrate to the top, that's all," another female insect said. "That's Ashley. The scores of all the other insects combined are not as high as his."
The mocked female insect immediately retorted, "It's because my mental sea went berserk that I was almost taken into prison."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the deathly silence around him.
The swarm of insects that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet as if the pause button was pressed.
He turned his neck stiffly and saw a tall shadow passing by not far away.
Wherever he went, it was like Moses crossing the Red Sea.
He was like a knife, splitting the swarm of insects into two parts.
There were three iconic red marks on his left cheek, like some totem of a mysterious tribe.
From the expression on the other separated part of the insect's face, it can be seen that the same mark is also on his right face.
——Ashley.
It's over.
The person who said bad things was caught red-handed.
Because of excessive fear, his pupils became vertical, and he was afraid that he would be killed in the next second by this demon who was said to be carrying the lives of hundreds of insects.
But Ashley didn't even turn his head and walked straight out of the lounge.
"Hu——" The chattering female insect let out a long breath and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
"He's wearing a restraining collar." A female insect next to him whispered to comfort him.
After Ashley walked away, the whispered discussion in the rest cabin was heard again.
"The aura on him is so strong."
"Oh my god, is Ashley also coming to the freshman training?"
"The juniors are probably going to cry. They were the ones who trained with Ashley two years ago, and now they're seniors now, and they're still with him."
"You're still concerned about the juniors. Think more about yourself!"
No one noticed that another figure also walked out.
