"Why are you suddenly asking this?" James scratched his head, thinking hard, and then said:
"My male has said a lot lately, I don't remember it all, but he said he really wants to see me and then wants to pin me down, hehehe~"
Hearing James's lewd laughter, Roderick sighed.
“It’s my male insect,” he said, adding that he also wanted to meet me in his dreams.
He even got a little angry when I said I had never dreamed of him.
I think so too; you can all dream about strange male insects at will.
But I have male insects myself, yet I've never dreamed of them. What do you think is the reason for that?
Recently, Han Ling has been pestering Roderick every day, making him dream about her.
But no matter how Roderick fell asleep, he couldn't dream of Han Ling.
The inability to enter the dream state almost affected their emotional communication.
James turned to the side and asked curiously:
"Dreaming? Do you want to dream too? What should you do if you dream of a strange male insect?"
Roderick shook his head:
"You said that if I dream, he can only be in my dreams, and it will only be him."
"Are you so sure? Your male insect is quite narcissistic. Have you had any dreams about other things lately?"
"I've dreamed about it, and I've even dreamed about Emperor Star."
“That’s strange…” James raised his hand, rubbed his chin, and said casually:
"Why can you dream about him but not him? Is it because you two are on different time zones and can't fall asleep at the same time?"
Every time you wake up, he's already asleep.
Just when you're about to go to sleep, he gets up.
Upon hearing this, Roderick frowned and smiled:
"That's outrageous! How could that be? What does it have to do with you if I'm dreaming?"
James chuckled:
"I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. But I think what you said later is quite right."
What does your dream have to do with male insects?
If you're afraid of upsetting the male insect, just lie to him and say you dreamed about him.
"It's just your dream anyway; he doesn't know the truth."
Roderick pondered for a moment and said:
"Lying? That's not a good idea. If one lie is told, another will be needed to cover it up. From now on, I'll have to keep deceiving you, Mr. Male Insect."
James scratched his head:
"Then we'll see how it goes. If he insists on letting you dream, then you can deceive him; it's a white lie."
Dreams are uncontrollable, and you shouldn't break up just because you don't dream about him!
Roderick nodded, agreeing with James's point.
Just as the two were discussing...
A voice suddenly came from behind.
"Roderick, James, how about we grab some food together later?"
That voice... it's familiar, it's Admiral Ulysses!
The two exchanged a glance, straightened their backs, turned around, and gave stiff smiles:
"Alright, General."
Ulysses, standing beside the two, casually remarked:
"What were you talking about just now? Why did you stop? Are you embarrassed to talk about it now that I'm here?"
Roderick waved his hand:
"No, how could that be? We just finished talking. Hahaha, what else could we talk about? Things related to me, the male insect."
Upon hearing this, Ulysses had a sudden thought.
Others don't know who the male insect in Roderick is.
But Ulysses had seen a replay of the roundtable meeting.
He knew that Roderick's male insect was Han Ling.
So, Ulysses asked indirectly:
"How is your male insect doing now? Did the events on Planet Aphrodisiac affect him?"
Roderick nodded:
"Yes, he's fine."
Ulysses smiled:
"Have you considered taking a day off to be with him? Although we only have one day off a year, it is permissible to take leave to visit the male insect. He must be very scared after what happened and really wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Roderick felt a mix of unease and helplessness.
"General, I also want to see him, but Aphrodite is completely closed off now. Even if I ask for leave, I still can't see him."
My male insect has been throwing a tantrum lately because of this.
He wants me to dream about him when I dream.
"Just now, James and I were discussing this very thing..."
Before Roderick could finish speaking, James leaned forward and asked, "..."
"I remember, Admiral Ulysses' male insects have already come out of Aphrodite, haven't they?"
"Could Roderick also retrieve the male insects from Aphrodite? I think it's better to do so; Aphrodite is too dangerous right now."
The words were spoken.
General Ulysses did not answer immediately.
Roderick, standing next to James, tugged at his sleeve, his face showing a look of fear, his eyes wide.
Holy crap! That's so embarrassing, bro! You forgot about the general dreaming about the twins!
You have such a bad memory! How could you suddenly bring up the male insect!
James failed to grasp Roderick's meaning and stared intently at the general, awaiting an answer.
A moment later.
Unable to resist the curious gazes, Ulysses nodded and explained:
"Yes, my male insect Jacob is indeed living on a B-class planet, but I haven't seen him in a long time."
If Roderick wants to bring the male insect home, he'll have to work hard.
Only after achieving interstellar military merit and being promoted to Major General can one spend credits to bring a male insect home and provide him with a stable living environment.
James nodded, and was about to say something when he suddenly froze, even his steps becoming erratic.
Good heavens! What on earth is he babbling about?!
At this moment, James finally realized what nonsense he had just uttered!
The doctor said that the general had not spent five years with a male insect during its mating season.
The matter of the male insect is probably a scar in the general's heart, and he actually reopened it so easily!
James opened his mouth, about to say: "I'm sorry, Admiral, I accidentally mentioned your male insect and reopened your wounds."
Before he could finish speaking, Roderick reached out and put his arm around James's head, covering his mouth as he did so.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm!" Roderick, why are you covering my mouth?
Roderick said with a dark expression:
"Admiral Ulysses, I suddenly need to use the restroom. I'll take James with me first."
Ulysses didn't look at the two of them, but simply nodded listlessly:
"Go ahead, and come back soon."
Roderick turned around and dragged James along, finally arriving at the toilet after three or four turns.
"Bang!"
After opening the toilet door, Roderick immediately closed it and lowered his arm.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" James wiped his mouth in grievance. "Why are you covering my mouth? I haven't apologized to the general yet."
Roderick was so angry he laughed:
"You apologize, and then what? Then the admiral finds out that all the females in our fleet have heard his secret. Not only are they separated from the males, but they've also had all sorts of dreams about twins."
Upon hearing this, James felt a chill run down his spine:
"Damn it! Bro! Thank goodness you pulled me back! Otherwise I would be the sinner of the entire fleet!"
Ten minutes later.
In the dining hall of the First Exploration Legion stationed on the star.
Ulysses drank his nutritional supplements without tasting anything.
It was a drink that could be finished in one go, but he took a full ten minutes to finish it.
Ulysses only breathed a sigh of relief when Roderick and James came to him.
"General, I apologize for being so late."
"It's all Roderick's fault for wasting time, General. Let's have dinner together."
Hearing their words, Ulysses laughed:
"Eat up. Actually, the main reason I'm having dinner with you all today is to tell you that I already know what happened, so you don't need to hide it from me anymore."
As soon as he said that, James lost his grip on the nutritional supplement and it fell onto the table.
James lowered his head guiltily, frantically picking up the nutritional supplements from the table, as if the bagged drinks had transformed into slippery fish that he couldn't catch at all.
Roderick's throat tightened, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:
"Admiral, don't try to scare us! What happened on the fleet? I didn't know anything about it!"
Ulysses didn't speak, but just looked at the two of them, his eyes darting between them as if to ask: Which of you will speak first?
At this moment, James suddenly raised his head and said:
"General, it seems there's no way to keep this from you anymore. Actually... the reason the atmosphere in the fleet is so strange is that 1/20 of the female soldiers have started dreaming, and in each person's dream, the male insects look different."
Now we're all starting to wonder if what happens in dreams is actually real.
Ulysses looked at James with a probing gaze:
"Is that really the case?"
James chuckled and scratched his head:
"Is there anything else? What could we possibly be hiding from you?"
Roderick nodded and echoed:
"Well, actually, I don't think I can hide the dream from you for long."
More and more female insects are dreaming these days, and everyone is very confused, wondering what their dreams mean.
The female soldiers all came to ask James what the purpose of this dream was, or whether it was a human test.
But James was unaware that the atmosphere within the fleet was becoming increasingly strange.
Ulysses scrutinized the two for a moment, then, realizing he couldn't extract any more information, he smiled again:
"Roderick is right. Once there are more dreaming females, the truth can't be hidden for long."
This was something I hadn't considered carefully.
Now, I will tell you the truth.
If any female soldiers come to ask you again, you'll be able to answer.
Upon hearing this, James's eyes widened. So there really was something more to the dream? He had just made it up out of thin air!
Ulysses, holding the nutritional supplement, didn't rush to drink it, but slowly began to speak:
"The male insects that appear in my dream actually exist..."
"hiss!"
"hiss!"
James and Roderick gasped, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared at the general.
What? Male insects actually exist?
Ulysses was interrupted, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he reorganized his thoughts and said:
"These males live in another universe. Like us, they have a sex imbalance."
Only the male insects survived.
And dreams are the bridge through which they communicate with us.
The male insects from another universe are physically weak, but possess powerful mental strength, which is why they were able to travel through the universe and find us.
You've all seen what happened on Planet Aphrodite, right?
The male insect who opened the spatial teleportation channel, Lord Han Ling, came from another universe.
Upon hearing this, Roderick's eyes widened. Han Ling came from another universe? Han Ling hadn't told him that!
However, Roderick relaxed when he thought about how he had also kept some things from Han Ling.
Sometimes, not saying something is a way of protecting each other.
Moreover, whether these things are said or not, they have no impact on their feelings and relationship.
James exclaimed in sudden realization:
"I've never seen a male insect before, and I thought every male insect had this kind of strength. Turns out, that's not the case!"
In that video, Lord Han Ling's abilities shocked all the female insects in the entire star field.
With a wave of the hand, a spatial transmission channel can be opened, allowing thousands of troops to traverse the universe.
If each warship squadron could be equipped with one such male Zerg, their Zerg's star system would expand once again!
Ulysses smiled:
"The male insects on Aphrodite, although they possess mental power, are far less powerful than this."
According to historical records, before the gender imbalance, each fleet consisted of female and male insects fighting together.
Why is the mecha always positioned as a two-person unit?
The reason is that the pilots of the mechs are usually a couple. The female controls the mech, and the male controls its firepower.
As you all know, when a female insect unleashes its full power, its mental energy becomes extremely unstable, making it very easy for it to become chaotic and out of control, turning into a madwoman.
But if the male insect is sitting in the passenger seat, things are different.
The female insect can rest assured and use all her strength.
In those days, in just thirty years, our Zerg's galactic territory expanded several hundredfold. Fifty percent of the credit goes to the male Zerg.
Unfortunately, by then, the male-to-female ratio was already unbalanced. Later, the imbalance became even more pronounced.
Roderick grew up on Emperor Planet, read history books from ten thousand years ago, and is very familiar with this period of history.
But James, a female soldier who grew up normally on the planet, would basically never come into contact with this kind of history book.
Therefore, James's eyes widened when he heard the news.
He turned his head to look at Roderick and said with disdain:
"I don't want to be your second-in-command anymore! I want to pilot my own mech! And have my male insect assist me!"
At this point, James turned to Ulysses and asked:
"General, since you say that male insects really exist, when will my male insect come to me? When can we meet?"
Ulysses paused upon hearing this, then said:
"I'm not sure about the timeframe, maybe one or two years, or maybe several decades."
I can't draw a definitive conclusion on this matter; it depends on the total number of Dreaming Females in the entire interstellar space.
“Sigh!” James shook his head. “Looks like we’ll have to wait a while longer.”
Ulysses laughed:
"The dream awakening test is being conducted at experimental sites set up in all eight legions. The higher-ups attach great importance to this matter."
If handled properly, you might be able to meet a male insect in five years.
You can tell these messages to the female officers in the fleet, but it's best not to spread them outside to avoid causing panic.
Once the experimental data is available, the marshals will personally announce it.
