World Four
Arisa's preferences are different from those of most male insects. He likes the armor and bone wings that only female insects have, and he feels from the bottom of his heart that they are symbols of strength.
The insect armor is similar to the mechas made by alien races to resist the Zerg, and both are very hard in texture.
However, countless alien races tried their best to create mechas that could resist the Zerg, and even searched for various minerals for this purpose, but they could never find minerals that could resist the Zerg armor.
This is also one of the reasons why alien races in the universe dare not offend the Zerg easily.
And now, looking at Wilson, whose body was completely covered with insect armor, Arisa rarely felt anything other than ordinary goodwill.
Even Arisa didn't know why.
After Wilson swiftly used his bone wings to rip the tails of the two aliens apart, Arisa finally gave up on trying to sort out his thoughts. He cleared his throat and said, "...Too fast."
Female Zerg are the most suitable for fighting among the Zerg, so their vision and hearing are very good, while male Zerg are completely inferior in terms of physical structure. Therefore, Arisa did not see Wilson's movements clearly.
Wilson's movements suddenly slowed down.
His eyebrows were furrowed in a knot under the insect armor, but in Arisa's eyes, the female insect just tilted its head slightly in her direction - the black insect armor covered too much area.
The aliens surrounding Wilson looked confused as they watched helplessly as the Zerg's movements suddenly slowed down.
The other party slowly grabbed their companion's neck and swung him to the ground, as if deliberately trying to make them angry.
The damage was not as great as before, but the insult was very strong, so strong that the aliens who had their tails broken and were still whispering were so irritated that their faces turned red.
Arisa, who finally saw the battle scene clearly, straightened his back this time and applauded Wilson.
Wilson didn't move when he heard the applause. He suddenly had the illusion that if he took Arisa to the battlefield and let her see his appearance after the battle, he could easily kidnap her.
He pursed his lips, thinking that he was probably overthinking it.
- How could Arisa be kidnapped so easily?
When the Federation starship arrived and hovered above their heads, the aliens who had been clamoring to take Wilson to the interstellar prison also fell to the ground.
Wilson turned his head and looked at the small spaceship with the pirate logo on it that had slowly landed beside him before the starship.
According to Arisa's original plan, they should first encounter an Imperial or Federation starship, and then Wilson would find a way to leave some clues for them.
But the appearance of this spaceship directly disrupted their plans.
"—It should be Fed." Arisa whispered to Wilson. Seeing that the spaceship was about to land on the ground, his speed of speech gradually increased. "I don't know if he has been deeply soothed by the male insect. In case he can sense the residual mental power of mine, I will leave first."
Before he finished speaking, the spaceship had already landed on the ground.
Arisa's figure also disappeared.
Although he was reluctant, Wilson did not take the initiative to keep him.
He was confident that he could hide the fact that Arisa's spiritual power was on his shoulders from the pirates, but he had no confidence in hiding it from Fed.
So now Wilson could only watch as the hatch opened and the cockpit seat turned around, revealing Fed's face with a disgusting smile.
The most taboo on the battlefield is hesitation, not to mention that no one knew whether this was a test from Fed. Therefore, Wilson did not hesitate and strode directly in.
The next second after the female insect rushed into the spaceship, the anti-aircraft guns from the Federation above directly hit the place where he was originally standing.
"Slow down, slow down! Don't be so anxious." Fed still kept sitting facing the cabin door. He looked at Wilson who stepped into the cabin door, his posture looking unbelievably relaxed. "If you don't know, you would think you are here to kill me--"
The bone wing stopped very close to Fed's neck, and at the same time, the hatch closed, blocking the attacks that were about to follow.
"Feder." Wilson said this without any intention of releasing himself from his full insect form. "—You're too slow."
The high-level female insect did not control the tone of her voice because of the departure of the male insect, so this sentence sounded like she was taking her anger out on someone.
For a female insect who always spoke in a calm tone, this tone could almost be considered as proof of rage.
"How can you say that? I see you're clearly having a lot of fun." Fide reached out and gently pushed aside the bone wing that would have severed his neck if it had moved just a little further. "Why didn't you kill them today? Why didn't you even spare their lives?"
"When did you become so... Could it be because that male insect's attitude towards you changed?" Fide raised an eyebrow. "You won't soften your heart that easily, right?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Wilson knew exactly what to say at this time, so he just said sternly, "Don't try to change the subject!"
As the person being threatened, Fed's reaction was just to narrow his eyes: As expected, he is just a bug brat who just graduated from the military academy. He will feel scared when his life is threatened.
He felt that he had discovered Wilson's shortcomings, so he didn't feel that the other party's words were an offense to him at all.
The pirate leader laughed slowly and made a soothing gesture to Wilson, "Don't be like this. I paid a huge price to come pick you up."
"The price?" Wilson released the insectoid on his head and frowned at Fed. "What do you mean?"
Could it be that he is referring to the matter of going into danger alone?
But Fed wouldn't be stupid enough to use this as a bargaining chip, right?
"The lives of six mid-level female insects." Feide replied slowly.
Wilson immediately thought of the six female insects who had sent him here.
Although they spoke rudely and had no intention of considering themselves as their short-term companions, it did not mean that Wilson could accept their easy death.
Why could Fed, who was regarded as the boss by these pirates, speak of them in such a light tone, as if their deaths were not intentional?
"That's six female insects with the potential to reach the mid-level," said Fide, turning on 'autopilot'. He whistled cheerfully, "Isn't that a considerable price to pay?"
"Why?" Wilson asked.
"Not only is the Federation hunting you now, the Empire is also." Fidd didn't know Wilson was asking why they were doing this, "so they're going to deal with the Empire's pursuit now."
Wilson automatically translated the second half of the sentence into "go and die". He suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
He had thought Fed wasn't that stupid, but now it seemed he was hopelessly stupid. Wilson wondered why Fed felt so grateful for this.
Doesn't he look like a fool?
Even though he thought so, Wilson still sat down in the co-pilot's seat. He watched the Federation starship dock on the ground, and then he saw a male insect descend from it...
Wilson couldn't help but frown: A male insect? !
Why is the male insect in a place like this?!
Has the Federation finally gone crazy?!
The long-haired male insect with navy blue eyes looked over. Even though Wilson knew he couldn't see him, his heart skipped a beat: Isn't this Arisa's father? Why is he here?!
"It seems they've changed their strategy this time." Fed also saw the male insect coming down, but because he didn't know the male insect's identity, his reaction was different from Wilson's. "Do they think you'd be interested in this type of male insect?"
It must be said that Fide's annoying voice helped calm him down at this time.
"--Probably." So Wilson quickly calmed down.
Fide assumed he had no interest in talking and looked away.
This spaceship is made of special materials, so it can completely defend against attacks from these starships.
After the male insect came down, several female insects quickly came down from the starship and were busy surrounding the other insect in a circle, with vigilant looks on their faces.
Wilson held his chin and thought to himself: Arisa mentioned the "residual mental power" just now. As Arisa's father, he should be able to detect these things more easily, right?
Wilson turned his head and looked at Fed again.
"I'm not sure if this planet has what you need before—" he said, but when he saw Fed's half-smile, he took back the second half of his sentence.
He realized something during their eye contact and didn't look at Fed this time.
Although the things that Fed listed were all about weapons, the other party never directly stated that "these weapons that can be manufactured are needed to resist the attacks of the Federation and the Empire."
This guy... doesn't seem as stupid as they thought.
"I'm really happy. You seem to be much smarter than other Zerg." Fed smiled and stretched out his hand to Wilson. "Wilson."
Wilson stared at the hand the pirate leader offered him, and the words he said came completely from the heart: "Are you sick?"
"I just hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." Fed added with a smile.
Wilson reached out his hand expressionlessly and patted Fed's hand, then he immediately retracted his hand and turned his head.
But Wilson's intention of not wanting to talk didn't seem to reach Feder, because Feder quickly added, "I believe our cooperation can usher in a new era."
Wilson didn't say anything, he started to transform into a complete insect again.
"Feder, you are really sick."
There are so many male and female insects, but no one has ever dared to say that he can create a new era.
"There are remnants of his spiritual power here," Arno clapped his hands, "It seems this matter is not what we originally thought."
That was even the spiritual residue after deep comfort, and it seemed that he could finally let go of his worries.
"That was too dangerous!" the female insect next to him was saying, "How could you just go there without even saying hello—"
"Okay, you're still here." Arno stood on tiptoe and patted the other person's shoulder. He heard the sound of something landing behind him. "There are remnants of his mental power in this place." This time his voice was a little louder.
"I heard you. No need to emphasize." The blond male insect disembarked from the starship. "Your female monarch is right, Arno. Your behavior of coming down without saying hello could easily cause us trouble and could also make us hurt."
Arno didn't even look at him and tied her hair up.
"Don't pretend you didn't hear me." Ravi gestured to the Zerg who followed him to ask the fallen aliens, and continued to speak to Arno, "I know you are angry about your offspring being kidnapped—"
"I have so many offspring, why would I be so angry just because this little bug is missing?" Arno immediately turned to look at him. "It's just that you high-level male bugs have nothing better to do, so you forced me to come over and see what's going on."
Ravi closed his eyes: You speak as if the Zerg who jumped off the starship without saying hello was not you.
He opened his eyes and this time looked at the portable electronic pulse cannon in Arno's hand.
"It's not military-grade, and it's the latest model. Excuse me, what channel did you use?" Ravi gestured to Arno. "I remember the Interstellar Black Network seemed to have been resolved a long time ago?"
"It's none of your business." Arno looked at him warily. "Well, if you don't have any serious questions, I'll go back. I'm not interested in playing house with you guys."
"This isn't just a game, Arno. The Federation and the Empire are in chaos right now." Ravi looked at him. "Don't you want to put an end to this?"
"I'm just a powerless mid-level male insect, Ravi. I couldn't even get into the military academy." Arno crossed his arms. "Besides, I haven't left the house since the riot."
"What do you expect me, a guy who diligently fulfills the Zerg's reproductive requirements, to do at a time like this?" Arno asked. "Go to the space pirates and bring back my Zerg kid? I'm not a female Zerg."
"Arno." Ravi looked at him and reminded him, "It was you who discovered that there was a remnant of your insectoid's spiritual power in this place. I couldn't have discovered this."
"Don't be too hard on yourself," he added.
"...Huh." Arno took a deep breath, "Okay, what do you want to do?"
"What information did you learn from the residual mental power?" Ravi asked.
Arno didn't answer.
Like some kind of self-protection mechanism, the message left by the male insect's residual mental power can only be known by his male father.
Of course he knew what Ravi wanted to ask most, but he read in the remnants of the insect boy's mental power the other party did not understand and fear a certain sudden emotion, and he also read the insect boy's eagerness to do something, but he did not read the insect boy's fear of the female insect who abducted him.
"I didn't ask the right question." Ravi nodded. "Then let me change the question. Is he safe now?"
"Yes." Arno replied.
"So, will you continue to participate in our operation?" Ravi continued to ask.
"Of course." Arno nodded seriously.
"I have one more question," Ravi said. "You can answer it or not. The choice is yours."
Arno looked at him.
"Where did you get that weapon?" Ravi asked.
"Don't you know?" Arno was confused. "I thought this was an unofficial outlet you provided for the male insects."
"Should I know?" Ravi was also confused.
"Well, since my bug boy hasn't come back yet, I used my terminal..." Arno coughed, "and posted some unfriendly remarks on the Federation Star Network."
Ravi pointed at the two female insects that immediately stood in front of Arno and said calmly, "This is an extraordinary period. I understand his desire to vent. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him."
The two female insects did not answer, but they also did not show any intention of moving aside.
"Anyway, after asking about my gender, the other party said they could provide me with weapons free of charge," Arno continued.
Ravi took a step forward: "Can you show me?"
Arno handed him the weapon and added, "Just in case, I had my queen waiting nearby."
Ravi took the weapon and looked at it carefully. "So, what did you find?"
Arno patted the back of the female insect in front of him, and she immediately took a step forward: "She's not a Zerg."
"Strange..." Ravi muttered, "It clearly has the symbol of a pirate, but it's not a pirate?"
"...By the way, they are very short." Arno suddenly thought of something and added, "And they all have red eyes."
