Besides solving the problem of fuel for the mechs, they also need to figure out how to get the communicator working.
Wen Zhen lived here for a while, and after confirming the cooperation, he quickly pointed out the direction—
“The owner of Liangliang Nutritional Solution knows how to repair the communicator,” Wen Zhen said. “He will take you there.”
“The mech fuel is a bit of a problem.” He glanced at Cen Yu and the other two. “You come with me.” He said to Cen Yu.
Li Chonghe instinctively wanted to object, and Chi Jiazhen also looked displeased, but Wen Zhen spread his hands, "I don't feel comfortable going with you guys."
“The smell of insects on you is too strong,” Wen Zhen said.
Li Chonghe subconsciously looked at Cen Yu. Even though the other party had already seen his disheveled appearance in the underground building, he was still somewhat reluctant to bring it up again.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, he looked at Chi Jiazhen.
Chi Jiazhen's face had lost its usual expression. He stared at Wen Zhen and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Wen Zhen closed the door. "You know that."
“You smell strongly of insects…” He looked Chi Jiazhen up and down. “Nobody here would think you’re human.”
Ignoring Wen Zhen, Chi Jiazhen only looked at Cen Yu and found that Cen Yu's expression was very calm, with no surprise on his face... He felt both panic and astonishment, not understanding whether Cen Yu already knew all this or simply didn't care about anything.
Because I don't care about him, I don't care what he is.
If Cen Yu knew what Chi Jiazhen was thinking right now, she'd probably roll her eyes.
What kind of time is this to be putting on a melodramatic show?!
“Xiao Yu, I…” Chi Jiazhen wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to refute it. In the end, he just looked at Cen Yu nervously, “I’m just scared, I didn’t mean to hide it.”
His words indirectly acknowledged Wen Zhen's statement.
Upon hearing his words, Wen Zhen and Li Chonghe simultaneously had the same thought—
To put on airs.
Li Chonghe found Chi Jiazhen even more despicable. This person, after realizing that she could no longer pretend, simply showed weakness and put herself in a vulnerable position. Now she was even preparing to play the victim.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was watching, Chi Jiazhen would probably have killed him to silence him.
"Stop playing the victim," Wen Zhen said impatiently. "You guys go fix the communicator, we'll go find fuel."
Chi Jiazhen didn't bother with Wen Zhen; he was only looking at Cen Yu, needing an answer from him.
"..." For a second, Cen Yu thought about simply logging off and quitting.
He felt that he didn't need to be so responsible.
Anyway, Chi Jiazhen and Li Chonghe are both insects, so they'll definitely thrive here. As for Wen Zhen? That's none of his business.
But the thoughts of "since we're already here" and "oh well, we've come this far" prevailed, and he only said one sentence to Chi Jiazhen—
"We'll talk about it when you get back. You go first."
Having received Cen Yu's order, Chi Jiazhen finally stopped causing trouble and went to find the owner of Liangliang Nutritional Solution Shop with Li Chonghe in a peaceful manner.
...
“The Eden Project, I don’t know what it is.” Walking along the sewage-filled path, Wen Zhen suddenly said, “But I know why the Zerg went to Nott.”
They continued down from Wen Zhen's house and arrived near several other nutrient solution processing plants.
Wen Zhen led him into an alley that could only accommodate one person at a time, with rolled-up doors on both sides, showing no trace of high technology.
"Why?" Cen Yu asked absentmindedly, avoiding the sewage on the ground.
Along the way, he saw many humans. He discovered that there were quite a few strange people on the Blue Planet, some of whom had insectoid features. They didn't show any surprise when they saw Cen Yu and Wen Zhen, and some even greeted Wen Zhen.
"...The Zerg, aren't we going to attack them?" Cen Yu asked simply since there was no one else in the alley.
Wen Zhen was silent for a few seconds. "What do you think they are?"
"Humans...?" Cen Yu said uncertainly.
“It’s a hybrid of humans and Zerg, I suppose,” Wen Zhen said. He paused for a moment and turned to look at Cen Yu. “Unless it’s a high-level Zerg, there’s a chance of giving birth to Zerg of the same level… Low-level Zerg cannot reproduce; they’re cannon fodder and feed. The remaining Zerg born through Alphas are like that.”
"Neither Zerg nor humans."
"It has a very short lifespan, only 50 years."
In the interstellar age, where everyone's lifespan increases, 50 years is indeed a short time.
Cen Yu couldn't help but think of Chi Jiazhen. He frowned slightly, and Wen Zhen naturally noticed the change in his expression. "Worried about your little boyfriend?"
“Chi Jiazhen is not my boyfriend,” Cen Yu immediately retorted.
“He is a King Insect, and even hybrid King Insects are not included in this category,” Wen Zhen said almost indifferently.
"Don't be fooled by the bugs."
"No matter how sweet their words, no matter how much they resemble humans, they are still insects."
"Furthermore, the King Worm is extremely skilled in hypnosis and mind control," Wen Zhen said meaningfully. "Although it works better on Betas, it's not ineffective against Alphas either."
"Cen Yu."
"Are you sure you haven't been hypnotized or mind-controlled by Chi Jiazhen?"
Cen Yu never expected to hear this news from Wen Zhen... The simulator didn't mention that the King Worm could use mind control either.
Wen Zhen turned her head again and continued walking forward.
Cen Yu followed behind him and began to summon the system—
"Did Chi Jiazhen use mind control or hypnosis on me?" Cen Yu asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
