Chapter 29
Qi Heng overestimated his patience and underestimated how clingy Fatty was.
Fortunately, he was not afraid of bugs, otherwise he probably would not have been able to bear it the moment the fat bug came close to him.
But it would be strange if there were any. He didn't have any special reaction when he saw the original Zerg before, as if he was subconsciously very familiar with these bugs.
Needless to say, this feeling must have been brought by the Master.
As for whether he was afraid of the Tianjia Zerg? They all looked human, so what was there to be afraid of? Even if the higher-level Zerg displayed mimicry during battle, it was only nails, wings, and a small amount of hard armor... To be honest, he was more curious than afraid.
Qi Heng maintained the posture of having his thighs held by the fat bug, and after a stalemate of fifteen minutes, he was defeated.
"Let go." He said this in a commanding tone.
Qi Heng knew that if he continued, he would be the first one to give up.
The fat bug he was staring at was looking up at him with a pair of big, sparkling eyes, his eyes full of human emotions.
Although she was reluctant to let go, she released her front limbs that were holding his thigh at his command.
When he was released, Fatty Bug let out a sound of extreme grievance.
“Ouch.”
Qi Heng didn't care about Fatty Bug's reluctance. After confirming that his command to Fatty Bug had the same effect as in previous games, he took a step back.
Because of his movement, the fat worm, which was completely supported by its lower body, also moved forward a little.
Seeing this, Qi Heng's forehead throbbed.
“Stop.”
Fatty didn't move, staring at him with a wronged look on his face.
It was really a one-to-one action for each instruction. He felt a bit of a headache. This was completely different from what he had thought before.
He originally thought he would gain a good helper, but now it seems like he has an extra cub that needs care.
Oh, that’s not wrong, it’s just a cub.
After realizing this, Qi Heng remained silent for a long time.
Today's deal is buy one get one free, which means... the insect egg in my hand is also a problem.
“Ah…”
This cry was full of pity.
Qi Heng came back to his senses, held the insect egg in his other hand, and said coldly, "There's no point in crying like this. I don't understand."
The fat bug seemed unable to speak. It had been making “Ao” and “Ao” sounds since a while ago. I didn’t know what kind of bug could make such a sound.
The fat worm's forelimbs are similar to claws, but like its body, they seem to be covered with a soft shell, making it look like a soft puppet hand.
“Ouch!”
After hearing his words, the claws stretched forward, closing and opening repeatedly, as if wanting to pounce again.
The juvenile form of the FatBug is incredibly cute, and the chibi version you've seen in games before is incredibly cute. In real life, it looks even more harmless, and even those who don't like bugs find it hard to give it the cold shoulder.
But Qi Heng is not an ordinary person. He will not be fooled by the cute appearance of Fatty Bug.
If I don't stop it now, it will be equivalent to letting the fat bug approach me. Then what I will have to face next is the endless attacks from the fat bug, and by then I will be in trouble.
After about three to five minutes, Qi Heng asked, "Have you calmed down?"
From the moment he saw the fat worm, he sensed that the fat worm was extremely excited. This excitement not only did not ease after the touch of his mental power, but became even more intense.
The reason for this situation was mostly because the Overlord had been gone for too long, and a small part was due to the joy of seeing him come back to fulfill his promise.
The fat worm leaned forward and crawled at his feet.
"Aoaoao." The tone was not as excited as before, but full of admiration.
Qi Heng watched Fatty Bug rubbing his head against his calf affectionately, revealing his affection for him without any concealment.
He had just retracted his mental power. Fatty couldn't feel the mental power and could only express his submission and attachment to himself in the most primitive way.
More than ten thousand years ago.
The Lord and the commander who was about to undergo a second reincarnation had an agreement, promising to pick it up personally after the second reincarnation was over, and to take it to see the vast galaxy that was no longer filled with war, without the purpose of war.
For Qi Heng at that time, it was just an agreement with the NPC in the game, not something worth remembering.
Therefore, he made several similar promises.
When Qi Heng made the promise so casually, he thought that he would still invest a lot of time in this game, so he didn't think about the consequences of breaking the appointment.
Who could have thought that he would lose interest in just a moment, and the most ridiculous game became real, and all the insignificant promises and agreements he made also became true.
What are the consequences of breaking an appointment?
Isn’t the fat bug in front of us the best example?
For more than ten thousand years, Qi Heng couldn't imagine how the fat worm had waited... He was dying but still stubbornly tried every means to survive, just for an impossible promise.
In the end, it really waited for me.
Even though he had made Fatty Chong wait for such a long time, when he saw him, Fatty Chong did not feel any resentment at all. Instead, he was just overjoyed that he had finally waited for him.
This made Qi Heng feel a little guilty.
Although he interacted with Fat Bug in the game in the past, it was all for the purpose of completing his goals. He thought Fat Bug was just a useful tool to help the civilization he built become invincible in external wars.
But maybe the Overlord doesn't think so.
Qi Heng thought about the memories that he had not yet fully recovered, and also recalled the various strange conversations that popped up during the game.
The amount of memory the Overlord has accumulated over ten thousand years is enormous. So far, I haven't seen many memories of the Overlord and the Commander getting along with each other. If the Overlord = myself, then it is completely reasonable that they would develop true feelings after being together for a long time.
…
Qi Heng didn't say anything, so Fatty Chong remained motionless.
For the fat worm, waiting for the Lord to appear is the whole meaning of its life, and being able to see the Lord who fulfilled the promise for the first time after waking up makes it so happy that it wants to fly.
If it hadn't been so exhausted, it would have performed a standing takeoff for the Overlord.
The moment Fat Bug opened his eyes and saw the Lord, the first thing he remembered was the time when the Lord personally brought him back from the wilderness when he had lost consciousness.
Without a master, it would have died long ago.
The fat bug was quiet and didn't make any sound. Although we couldn't get close to each other, it was satisfying to be able to get so close.
It didn't know how long it had been sleeping, it only knew that it was a very long time, so long that when it woke up last time, it thought it had no time to wait any longer.
"Get up."
Qi Heng sighed and released his mental power to establish a mental connection with the fat worm.
This way you can communicate directly with the fat worm, which is faster than trying to guess what its "ow" means.
Fatty straightened up.
At the same time, the fat worm's baby voice came through the mental link.
'Master.'
"Um."
Qi Heng raised his hand, and before he could continue, Fatty put his head under his palm.
'Touch it.'
He was a little speechless, but thinking of the poor fate of Fatty Worm being 'cheated', he still rubbed it twice.
"……good."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come." Fatty said in a childish voice.
"Sorry I'm late."
Fatty shook his head and quickly replied, "It's not too late, it's not too late as long as you come."
"I'm really happy that you still remember our promise."
Qi Heng didn't know what to say. It seemed that whatever he said now would be an excuse for himself.
"I said I'd give you a name when I came to pick you up."
"You still remember." The childish voice was a little surprised.
The most common thing the commander did during his thousands of years of life was to sleep → get up and fight → pester the master to act cute and coquettish → continue sleeping when tired of playing. The time he spent studying during this period was insignificant.
——This made its already immature mind even more childish after it returned to its infancy.
But this does not mean that it has forgotten what it has learned. It is not a three-year-old child who can't really speak clearly. This can be seen from its relatively organized performance when answering Qi Heng's questions.
Qi Heng said, "Hmm," and said, "I remember."
He didn't have amnesia, and unlike the fat worm who had actually spent ten thousand years in this world, in his time, only two months had passed since the agreed time.
In addition to personally picking up Fatty Chong and taking him home, the agreement also included giving him a name.
From this point of view, the master should not have given the fat worm a name. I don’t know why. Does it mean that some things must be approved by both myself and the master at the same time before they can be accomplished?
"So... have you thought of a name for me?" Fatty asked expectantly.
The fat bug felt a bit like cotton, and Qi Heng rubbed it while thinking about something, which was also a way to express his love for the fat bug.
"Tianyun Star is your zodiac star, and the continent you live on is your fiefdom."
"My given name is Lan, which is my last name."
"Are you willing?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Fatty.
'Yes! Of course I do.'
The fat bug couldn't help but jump, and its wings spread out and fluttered, scattering golden light particles. If it hadn't been reluctant to be patted on the head by its master, it really wanted to fly a few circles to express its current mood.
'So I'm your child now, right?! Can I call you Daddy?'
Hearing this, Qi Heng couldn't control his expression for a moment.
How had their conversation gotten to this point? Why was he going to acknowledge him as his father? He couldn't help but wonder if he had missed something.
Just giving yourself a name means you have a son. Isn’t that a joke?
At most, it can be considered a pet.
Qi Heng thought that after seeing the fat worm full of emotions, he probably wouldn't be able to use it as a pure tool with peace of mind and without burden, so he considered keeping it as a pet.
The happy Fat Bug didn't notice the change in his expression. After he finished speaking, he stuck to him like a clingy big dog.
Just before Qi Heng was about to give a negative answer, the fat worm's even more excited emotions than before came through the mental link along with its shouting.
"I can finally be your child."
"You finally accepted me. I'm so happy—"
Qi Heng: "..." Suddenly he couldn't say what was going on.
"Do you really want to be my...child?"
'Uh-huh. '
Fatty said what he remembered clearly: "They said that since we have a name and the same surname, we should call him Xiongfu."
He really wanted to know where Fatty had heard this, but now was obviously not a good time to ask.
Qi Heng was thinking that if he denied this statement, the fat bug in front of him would burst into tears out of joy.
Forget it, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between raising a pet and raising a son.
"From now on, your name will be Qi Lan, and your nickname will be Xiao Lan." Qi Heng named her carelessly.
This is the first time he has named someone in his life, so it is unrealistic to expect him to come up with a special name with a beautiful meaning.
"As long as it's what you want, I can do it." Fatty stared at the insect egg he was holding, and said with some envy: "Father Xiong, can you hug me like you hug him?"
Qi Heng's mouth twitched. It's better to say goodbye. The insect eggs of more than 40 centimeters and the fat insects of more than 80 centimeters are completely not in the same league.
He finally understood why Fatty Worm kept looking at the Worm Egg in his arms from time to time. He thought...it turned out that he was jealous of the Worm Egg's treatment.
"I have something to ask you." Qi Heng withdrew his hand and pressed his eyebrows, deciding to get to the point first.
The fat bug let out an "ow" and was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again.
"What do you want to ask, father?"
Qi Heng, who had just become a father, was not quite used to the fat bug calling him "father" all the time. He did not like the "lord" he just heard.
However, words spoken cannot be taken back, so he accepted the new title.
"There's something I need to tell you first."
Fatty tilted his head and looked at him in confusion.
"It has been more than twelve thousand years since your second reincarnation." Qi Heng said calmly.
"Twelve thousand years?" Fatty's eyes widened.
If he was talking about the past few thousand years, the fat worm might not feel anything, but the number of twelve thousand years was different. It was longer than the time it had followed the master, oh no, the male father.
It remembers all the time it spent with its father, which was the happiest time since it was born.
"Do you remember what happened after I left?"
The little fat bug Qi Lan couldn't help but be absent-minded, and only came back to his senses when he heard his father's voice.
'After you leave...'
Qi Lan tried hard to recall the past, and the golden wings on his body slowly folded up.
"I remember the Archon came to see me. He said you were missing and wanted to find you through me."
When Qi Heng heard Fatty Worm mention the "Chief Governor", an exquisite face emerged in his mind.
As the Zerg who has been with the Overmind the longest, the Commander also possesses a spiritual imprint and is one of the only two Zerg that can reversely link to the Overmind and find where the Overmind is.
As the chief consul, Chu Xiu would awaken the fat worm that was undergoing a second reincarnation regardless of the consequences. Most likely, he would let the fat worm try after he really couldn't find himself.
"What happened next?"
"I couldn't find you, and the link to the spiritual imprint couldn't reach you either." When Fatty said this, he choked with sadness.
The master disconnected the spiritual connection before the second reincarnation, and later he quit the game on his own and was not online, so it was normal that the connection could not be established.
"Oh, I remember the Grand Chancellor asked me to pass the "Total War Consent Form," and then... he asked me to continue my second reincarnation."
"I asked him if I could see you again. He said I would be able to see you when I woke up."
"——He was right. I really saw you when I woke up."
Qi Heng asked, "Did you see him again later?"
"No, he never came again." Fatty's tone dropped a little.
"Once my second reincarnation begins, unless it's forcibly interrupted by a General Archon of the same rank, I'll be closed off to external perception, so even if he comes, I won't be able to see him."
"Over ten thousand years, what did you do to deserve me?"
"I woke up once when I completed my second reincarnation, but I didn't see you, so I chose to continue sleeping." The fat bug lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"After an unknown amount of time, my life force could no longer sustain me in my deep sleep... I could sense the presence of other life forces, they were very weak and scattered, but there were many of them."
"I gather them together to delay the decay of the body and the disintegration of the spirit."
Without waiting for Qi Heng to ask, Fatty admitted his mistake first.
"I'm sorry, father. I disobeyed your orders and absorbed the life energy of others. You said I no longer needed to do such things."
Qi Heng said: "You know where the source of that life energy is, right?"
'Yes, I know.'
"Those life energies are of the same origin as mine." This was also the reason why Fatty admitted his mistake without a second thought.
The nursery was originally established to allow insect eggs to come into contact with the commander's aura, thereby promoting hatching.
Since the commander can influence the insect eggs, he can naturally make them feed him, and extracting their life energy is even easier.
Qi Heng knew without a second thought where the scattered and weak life energy that Fatty Worm mentioned came from - the place above his head where the nursery used to be was now a dead egg pit.
...A large number of dead insect eggs and some dying insect eggs, their remaining life energy was sucked away by the fat worm before it was completely dissipated. It can be said that the fat worm's survival to see himself requires all the right time, place and people.
Based on this speculation, the number of insect eggs thrown here over the past ten thousand years is probably an astronomical figure.
Even though those insect eggs had no relationship with Qi Heng, his mood was involuntarily shrouded in a layer of gloom when he thought that those insect eggs could have survived.
"It's different from what you think. Don't blame yourself too much." Seeing the fat bug's confused look, Qi Heng briefly explained the current situation of the Tianjia Zerg.
"What the hell! How could this happen?!"
If it wasn't Qi Heng who was speaking, Fatty Chong would definitely not listen quietly and would definitely jump up at the first sentence.
The fat worm's reaction was much more intense than when he, the overlord, first heard about the current situation of the Zerg. The whole worm jumped three feet high from the ground.
Its anger was sensed by the Devourer in the audience, who immediately trembled and crawled on the ground, not daring to move.
"They actually lost! Damn it! If I were here, I would never have lost." Fat Bug was so anxious that he turned around and around, and finally jumped in front of him and shouted: "Don't worry, Xiong Dafu, I will kill them all when I recover."
Qi Heng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment when he saw the fat bug in front of him who really wanted to take revenge.
What should he say? Say he didn't have such deep feelings for the Tianjia civilization? Or that he had no plans to do anything?
"No……"
Qi Heng had just opened his mouth and before he could finish his words, "Don't get excited," he was interrupted by Fatty Bug.
'It's not enough, right? I think it's not enough either.'
The fat worm waved its front paws and bared its teeth: "How dare they harm your people and destroy the civilization you built."
"Killing them would be too easy for them. I'm going to eat up their entire home planet and completely destroy their civilization!"
Fatty Bug's excited tone broke his calm expression. How could he make such a brutal declaration like a villain so naturally... Wait, it seemed that Fatty Bug had always been following the Lord, and was taught by the Lord by words and deeds.
That’s okay, what the Lord taught is normal.
"What I mean is, don't be so excited, calm down." Qi Heng raised his hand and pressed down on Fatty Chong's head.
He was now glad that the fat worm in front of him was still in its infancy. If it was an adult fat worm, he would probably only be able to hold the fat worm's belly to calm it down.
Fatty Chong listens to Qi Heng very much.
As he patted the head and killed, the murderous aura on the fat bug dissipated for the most part, but words like "I will teach them a lesson" and "I am Xiongfu's sharpest sword, I will chop them all to death" kept coming from the mental link.
Don’t be fooled by the fat bug’s quiet appearance of lying in front of him like a good boy, as it may seem easy to bully.
As the Grand Marshal of the Star Sea Vanguard Corps of the Tianjia Civilization's external conquests, it razed and destroyed at least eight hundred galaxies and civilizations, killing them all until no civilization dared to covet the Tianjia civilization.
The words "kill" and "eat up" in Fat Bug's mouth are both literal.
Qi Heng once adhered to the idea of striving to develop civilization without wasting resources. A destroyed civilization would usually be destroyed along with its entire mother galaxy.
——The Devourers who have reached adulthood among the original Zerg are like scavengers that devour the entire galaxy cleanly. Not even a grain of interstellar dust will be left in the galaxies they have swept.
"What can you do in your current state?" he soothed.
The original Zerg is very powerful, but it can do nothing without its own troops. If it wants to develop again, at least the fat zerg itself must first recover to adulthood.
"Don't worry, father. I've just been hungry for too long."
The fat worm's eyes fell on the Devourer in the audience, and he said excitedly: "As long as I eat more, I will recover soon."
Qi Heng almost laughed out loud.
Is that just a little bit? It's clearly billions of points.
"Don't look at it, it's the only one here, nothing more."
The sky crystals produced by adult devourers can help fat worms enter adulthood earlier, but the amount of sky crystals required is a very large amount, and Qi Heng has no place to get it now.
"I have my own plans."
Fatty trusted him 100%. When he heard this, he didn't doubt that he had no intention of revenge at all. He just thought that he was the one who was holding him back.
"Father Xiong, I can also work hard on my own."
The fat bug's voice sounded soft and sweet, but the words he spoke were completely brutal: "Also, I am now producing ordinary lower-level Zerg, which can be done without reaching adulthood. Although they are useless, they can barely serve as your guards."
"No need, just recover slowly."
Qi Heng would not agree to Fatty Chong's suggestion of "working hard on his own". Agreeing to this suggestion would be equivalent to letting Fatty Chong eat as much as he wanted, which would cause too much noise.
There is no need to do that now.
'You are so kind.'
Woohoo, father Xiong is so good to me. Fat Bug silently thought to himself that he must recover quickly to help father Xiong.
"It should be."
Qi Heng wanted to sigh again, but he held it back.
It is impossible to find out what happened in the Tianjia civilization from the fat worm. Just as it said, it has been sleeping and has no idea what is happening in the outside world. By the time it wakes up, too many years have passed.
"One last question, what's going on with this insect egg?"
A baby insect was sleeping inside the pure white egg. It did not have the wings and claws that a female insect should have, and there were no lines on the egg body, which indicated that it was a male insect egg.
'I don't know, it was placed on me when I woke up.'
Fat Bug was bewildered.
"Why would you protect it?"
If it weren't for the fat worm, this seed Dany would have died long ago, just like the other worm eggs here.
"It's with me, I can't abandon it." Fatty tried to express his meaning, and it instinctively protected it.
Qi Heng thought about the scene he saw of the insect eggs being sealed in the ice crystal lotus, and roughly understood what was going on. Then he heard the fat insect say again.
"You like bug babies, and I want you to be happy."
"I... can't save them, but at least I still have this." Fatty looked at the shelves, his eyes filled with sadness and grief.
"You've done very well."
He liked bug eggs? He thought this was probably the impression he had left on Fatty Bug.
Fat Bug was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Actually, it's because it's very friendly. I like it very much."
'I want it to be with me.'
The fat worm extended its claws and gently touched the egg, then came over and gave it a kiss: "He has your scent on him."
"Is there my scent?" Qi Heng was surprised. How could he not feel it?
'Um. '
Perhaps he had touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge. Fat Bug thought for a long time before blurting out, "Blood, same, smells good."
Blood?
Qi Heng thought of the blood he had just released. The blood melted in the ice crystals and turned into mist, which was absorbed by the fat worms and insect eggs. Was this the cause?
"When the insect egg hatches, let it stay here with you," he said.
Fatty was puzzled: "He is with me, where are you, Xiong father?"
"I can't stay here forever." Qi Heng comforted him, "But I will come to see you often."
"Why, I want to be with my father." Fatty returned to his old ways and hugged his thighs again. He was so reluctant to let go after finally seeing him.
The fat worms in their infancy are different from the Tianjia Zerg, so they definitely cannot be brought to Area 49.
Insect eggs are not allowed either.
He, an 'infertile female insect', suddenly brought back an insect egg, a male insect egg at that. Given the scarcity of male insects in Area 49, it would definitely attract unnecessary attention.
In this case, it would be better to let the insect egg and the fat insect keep each other company.
"It's not convenient for me to take you with me right now." Qi Heng paused and imitated Yan Ning's usual way of coaxing the insect cubs and said, "Xiao Lan is so obedient, she will definitely agree to Father Xiong, right?"
'……right. '
That’s not right, I just don’t want to be separated from my father QAQ.
But I want to be a good boy that the male father likes. A disobedient boy will not be liked by the master/male father.
After receiving the reply from Fatty Bug, Qi Heng walked down from the platform.
"Do you want to go see the place where you have been sleeping for so long with Xiong Fu?" He is good at giving a sweet reward after a good beating.
Qi Heng actually didn't like seeing Fatty Chong looking dejected, as it always made him feel like he was bullying a child.
'want! '
"Follow me." He said and began to explore the space on this floor.
As the lowest level of the nursery, the area here is not the largest, but it is not small either.
Qi Heng walked in front holding the insect egg, and the fat insect followed closely behind him. As for the devourer, after the fat insect secretly gave the order not to follow, it was lying there.
There is nothing extra here. Every inch of usable space is filled with tall metal racks, and each layer of the rack is a concave circular pit.
In the past, there would be insect eggs on every pit. The difficult-to-hatch insect eggs would have a greater chance of hatching under the commander's breath.
However, now, only a few pits still have these eggs.
Dead eggs.
The petrified surface was very fragile and would crack in an instant even if handled with care. Qi Heng never did it again after trying it once.
Most of the facilities on this floor are broken and cannot be started even with backup energy.
In addition, while he was exploring, many of the lights above his head went out, and now only four or five tenths of the entire space were still lit.
When the lights went out for the first time, Qi Heng had an extra pendant on his thigh. Fortunately, he had good physical strength, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to explore all areas with the frightened fat bug.
It is normal for a building that is ten thousand years old and has aging and dilapidated facilities to suddenly break down.
He walked to where the backup energy was stored and took out an energy crystal.
"pang cough cough, Xiaolan, you come down first." Qi Heng almost said the wrong thing because of his quick mouth.
"You know what this is, right?"
The fat worm nodded and let out an "ow", his eyes following the energy crystal.
Energy crystals can replenish energy, and for it, they are considered to be the tastiest ores in the crystal mine.
"Here." Qi Heng handed it over.
"Can I eat it?" Fatty asked eagerly, holding the crystal.
"Eat it." It was originally used to replenish its energy.
With a "crack" sound, the fat worm put the extremely hard energy crystal into its mouth and bit out a chip in it.
Then a series of crunching sounds were heard, one bite after another. The crisp sound made by the fat worm when it chewed the crystal told you that its teeth were very good.
Qi Heng saw its cheeks moving constantly as it devoured the food, and said, "Eat slowly."
The fat worm made a "mmm" sound, slowed down its biting of the crystal, and no longer filled its cheeks.
...Compared to the adult stage which can be digested by swallowing directly, the juvenile fat worms need to be chewed and broken into pieces for better absorption.
Qi Heng turned around and checked the control panel for the backup energy switch. He thought to himself, "A0, can you connect to the control program here?"
No problem.
The nine intelligences in the system once controlled the entire network domain of Tianjia civilization. A0's invasion was just like returning home, and it connected in seconds.
【Connection completed.】
The nursery's main control system was 95% destroyed, and the nursery's underlying backup management system was 97% affected and paralyzed, with the remaining system only able to provide lighting.
The fat bug at Qi Heng's feet was feeling extremely comfortable, with his former master and now his father leaning against him and still having food to eat. Such a life was truly a happy one.
It's like a dream back to the past.
No, even in its dreams it never dreamed of such a beautiful thing.
[Aside from the ground level buildings being flattened, the first few underground floors were also bombed, so there should be some undamaged parts left.]
[Is there a backup energy source on those floors?]
Very likely.
What do you mean?
[Is it possible to repair the main control program?]
[With your current abilities, the probability of repair is less than 1%.]
[Is that so?]
[In that case, forget it.]
Qi Heng originally wanted to see if he could repair the main control system. It didn't have to be completely repaired. It would be enough to confirm whether the energy crystals he needed were on the upper floors.
Now that this method doesn't work, we have to use another one.
He glanced at Fatty, his brows slightly furrowed with worry.
I just asked A0 to scan its current condition. To be honest, it's not very good. The energy loss is so serious that even if it chews these twelve energy crystals, it won't be enough.
As someone who had once raised a commander, Qi Heng knew very well that this fat bug, which looked less than half a person's height, was a big eater and it was not easy to raise it.
——I decided to raise it myself. I can’t let it starve. So I have to find some high-energy food for the fat worm to eat.
Only in this way can you help yourself after replenishing energy and recovering your weak body.
"I'm done eating." Fatty tugged at the hem of his clothes.
"Do you feel better?"
“Ouch.”
The voice sounds much stronger than before, so it should be better.
Qi Heng felt relieved, took out another one and reminded him: "You can eat the rest when I give it to you next time, okay?"
"Eat this. I need a blue-tailed butterfly, okay?"
"Oh." No problem.
The fat worm started its second round of eating. After grunting and finishing the second stick, it closed its eyes and lay down on its side.
Qi Heng saw a faint light emanating from its abdomen, which lit up for a moment and then quickly dimmed.
After waiting for about five minutes, the fat worm opened its eyes and stood up, stretching out its claws to dig into the thing that looked like a brood pouch that suddenly appeared on its abdomen.
The fat worm took out a light blue cocoon and held it in front of him with its two claws.
Next second.
The cocoon split open, revealing first a pair of trembling antennae, then the body, and finally the aqua blue butterfly wings.
This is the blue-tailed butterfly that Qi Heng wants, about eight centimeters long.
After remaining motionless for about ten seconds, the blue-tailed butterfly flapped its dry wings and flew lightly, dancing around him.
Qi Heng raised his hand, and the blue-tailed butterfly gently landed on his fingertips.
"Stop it."
He was talking to the blue-tailed butterfly and the fat worm.
The blue-tailed butterfly, whose function is to transmit information, was a small Zerg used for communication when the original Zerg mental network was not widely covered. Later, it was chosen to become the external image of the original Zerg commander.
"Those mining bugs are too far away from you. You can't contact them through the mental network right now."
"I'll take it."
This blue-tailed butterfly is equivalent to the fat worm's conscious clone, and it is the most suitable medium.
“Ouch.”
"Can we let it follow the male father after that?" Fatty asked through the mental link.
Qi Heng thought about it and said, "Okay."
The blue-tailed butterfly took off, and its flight trajectory was more cheerful than before, fully reflecting the fat bug's mood at the moment.
Qi Heng brought the fat bug back to the bottom of the platform, and the blue-tailed butterfly landed lightly on his shoulder.
After getting permission, the Devourer under the platform moved closer to their position, and then received new orders from Qi Heng.
- Excavate areas previously marked by the Overlord.
