Chapter 116
Dungeon.
After more than half a month of excavation, the entire underground space has taken shape, becoming tall and spacious... The original Zerg, more than double the number of before, are working on this simple underground city construction site.
In order to ensure the minimum survival needs of the female insects remaining in the underground space, the underground space has been transformed in all aspects.
For example, a number of channels more than one meter wide were dug out on one side of the rock wall. These channels extended outward and served to exchange air with the outside world.
For example, a medium-sized but not small reservoir has been excavated in the center of the space. It draws groundwater, and is surrounded by dozens of mud troughs crafted by sticky insects. From time to time, you can see teams of digging insects take turns crawling to the troughs and diving in.
There are many more transformations like this...
Since there is no light entering the underground space, all lighting depends on fireflies and dream fungus.
Because their number is currently insufficient to cover the growing underground space, priority is given to maintaining the lighting brightness in the residential areas, with only a few scattered clusters in other areas.
Most of those areas are under construction or far away from residential areas, and there is no place for the Tianjia Zerg to go.
As for whether this would affect the original Zerg, they possessed the ability to self-adjust their vision, and most of them didn't simply observe their environment with ordinary vision.
The area designated as a residential area is about 1,200 square meters. The adobe houses lined up on both sides are home to more than 300 female insects rescued by Qi Heng from the mining disaster. The space in the middle is left empty to form a small square.
In this area, the dream fungal mats do not only grow inside the houses. They climb onto the roofs and walls, grow radiatingly on the ground, and even grow on both sides and in the middle of the road connecting to the Urban Construction Department at the other end, forcibly dividing the left and right roads with themselves as the dividing line.
Not only that, the clusters of continuously growing fungal mats stacked up together look like some kind of low shrubs at first glance.
The adobe houses lined up in a row have other functions besides being used for living.
In the room with "Class 1 (2)" engraved on the wall at the entrance, dozens of female insects were sitting or lying on tables and chairs made of hard clay slabs. Some were practicing while others were simply resting.
In class.
Yan Ning leaned against the window, looked outside with a worried look on his face, opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Ever since they were rescued by the 'Doctor' and brought here, they passively accepted the arrangements made by Yan and the others, and then... a completely different world appeared before them, their past cognition was broken down and reorganized, and after being reassembled, it became the 'truth' that they found unbelievable.
"Thinking about your little bug cub."
Beside him, Yun Jiu, who was cultivating his star power, opened his eyes. Although it was clearly a question, his tone was declarative.
Yan Ning came back to her senses and said, "Hmm," "So many days have passed, I don't know how he is doing now."
Yun Jiu pursed his lips upon hearing this.
"Yan said that someone is taking care of them, so don't worry too much." As he spoke, his face looked calm, but he had the same worries as Yan Ning in his heart.
There was no need for Yan and the others to lie, but they still felt uneasy.
Yan Ning hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "More than ten days have passed since the mine disaster. When do you think the teacher will let us out?"
He was not the only one who had this question, other female insects also had it.
Yun Jiu knew who the teacher Yan Ning was referring to. Apart from the silver-haired, blue-eyed underage female insect who taught them to cultivate mental power and star power but never introduced her own name, there was no other insect.
"I guess it should be soon."
Yan Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Didn't the teacher say it himself? It'll take at most half a month." Yun Jiu pointed to the scratch on the bottom left corner of the blackboard at the front of the classroom. It had been scratched once a day since they arrived. "Given the teacher's personality, it's unlikely he'll lie to us."
Although the teacher looked like an underage female insect, everyone privately didn't believe she was underage. How could a female insect with such strength, profound knowledge, and a strong sense of oppression not be underage? She must just have a youthful appearance.
Yeah, that's right.
In fact, if they wanted to know when they could leave, they could just ask the teacher, but none of them wanted to face the teacher's face.
It’s really beautiful, and it’s really cold.
Even after teaching them for half a month, they never smiled once. Even though I knew that the teacher treated everyone like this, I still felt pressured when looking at him.
Because of the issue of cultivation, almost all the female insects who were caught and given individual instruction had surprisingly consistent performance on this issue - in fact, it didn't matter if they left two days later, since they had already been there for half a month, so one or two days wouldn't make a difference.
Yan Ning was silent for a moment and said, "I hope so."
"Don't we still have Qi Heng? What are we worried about with him around? Didn't Yan say that he..." Yun Jiu didn't continue speaking here.
It was only after they had learned from their experience that they finally understood the reason behind Qi Heng's incompatibility with them. It wasn't due to his personality, but rather the result of different experiences... Although Yan didn't say it explicitly, he could guess that Qi Heng was probably not a Zerg from Tianyun Star.
Qi Heng should be the same as the teacher, an outsider...that organization?
Yun Jiu thought of the vague information revealed in Yan's words, and the fingers on his knees unconsciously bent and straightened. It would be great if he could know more.
He looked around at the Zerg. Every single one of them was changing. In just half a month, they had undergone a complete transformation.
...Not only them, but myself as well.
Yun Jiu lowered his eyes, wondering what would happen when they left and returned to Area 49. Seeing a glimpse of the real world through the mist, he found it hard to accept continuing to live in the same muddled state as before. In this respect, everyone was probably the same.
You're thinking too far ahead.
Yun Jiu stopped his thoughts which were drifting further and further away… The teacher and Yan had taken the trouble to teach him and the others, so the follow-up must have been arranged. All he had to do was wait.
The other side.
In a house with a sign of the Ministry of Urban and Rural Construction.
Chu Zhengzheng was sitting at the table, turning on his computer to modify the plan on the screen, ticking off the completed ones and then carefully reviewing the content of the next plan that was about to be carried out.
Various materials were piled up on the wide desktop, and independent office areas were separated by obsidian crystal plates of appropriate thickness. In addition to him, Yan, Lan Yi and others were also there, and the most special one among them was probably the nest worm at the end of the table.
Unlike Chu Xiu and the others who were busy with their work, the nest worms were dozing off at this time.
After all, the Nestworms have a bunch of tool bugs under their command, so they don't need to do the work themselves. They are different from the lone commanders like them who have to do everything by themselves.
After Yan finished grading the last test paper in his hand, he pulled out the extra homework assigned by the "Consul" and his eyes fell on the "Consul" sitting across from him. He had been in this posture all morning, but he didn't look tired at all.
He secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, admiring the 'Consul's' dedication to his work.
No, in fact, I admire him in every aspect…'Consul' is not only Yan Ning and their teacher, but also theirs.
——Whether in terms of star power and spiritual power cultivation, or other aspects, they can only be students in front of the "Consul".
Just as Yan was thinking this, he heard a cold voice coming from the opposite side.
"Something's going on."
Facing those cold cobalt blue eyes, Yan was speechless for a moment.
“…” Oops, I was so engrossed in watching that I forgot that the ‘Consul’ is very sensitive to people’s vision.
The 'Archon' was just looking at him calmly, but for some reason, Yan felt like he was caught by the teacher for daydreaming in class.
He quickly thought of something and said, "No, I just wanted to ask if the next class should be held outdoors, so all four classes can attend together."
...What a stupid question! Yan felt annoyed.
Chu Xiu thought it was something serious, and while saying "hmm" as a response, he lowered his head and went back to his own business.
"There are too many building materials missing for the construction of the underground city. The entire city needs a large amount of metal... It will take another month for Lei to provide qualified metal building materials..." Chu Xiu's hands did not stop working, and his brain was also constantly thinking.
