Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "Sir, there is no suitable hero on the starship...
"Sir, there is no room suitable for male insects to live in on the starship. I'm sorry to ask you to stay in my room for the time being." Carlos brought the male insect sir into his room. This definitely did not mean that he had any thoughts about this male insect cub whose face could not be seen clearly.
There are extra empty beds on the starship, but they are all mixed with military females. Even the dumbest commander would not allow a male insect to stay with these military females who have not seen a male insect for hundreds of years.
"Thank you." Henry thanked Carlos.
After Carlos left, Henry slowly relaxed the tension of seeing so many strange insects at once.
This group of insects with slender pupils and unusually tall stature brought such a great shock to the people on Earth that even if they had prepared themselves mentally early on, it was still difficult to accept.
Henry walked around the room briefly. The predominant color was white, giving it a futuristic, technological feel. This place truly was different from Earth in every way. At least no one would design a completely windowless, enclosed room.
He scratched his hair. He hadn't taken a shower for a few days. No wonder the bugs disliked him.
Henry, who was about to take a shower, suddenly stopped because he didn't have any change of clothes.
drop--
The door opened and Carlos walked in. "Sir Henry, here are the room cards and training uniforms. There are no male insect uniforms here. Please be patient for a moment."
"Thank you so much," Henry said, patting his chest. "I'm so grateful for your timely help."
Carlos hadn't expected that there would be such male insects in New Eridu. They were different from the cold, gloomy and violent male insects on the main planet. Now was not the time to think about such things. "Sir, if there is nothing else, I will leave now. The battleship will return in a month, and the worker insects will bring food and water during this time. The conditions on the battleship are difficult, I hope you can forgive me."
Henry quickly stated that he was easy to support and would not cause him any trouble.
Before leaving, Carlos glanced at this unique male insect again. He was a male insect cub. No wonder he was so passionate about the military female.
"Cam, which one is the bathroom?" Being too high-tech is not good either. Henry felt like an old-fashioned guy. He walked around but couldn't figure out where the bathroom was.
"Host, you can press the bump on the wall."
Huh? There are bumps on this smooth wall? Is he blind?
Ka Meng extended her tentacle and said, "Ka Meng forgot that the host is human. The observation ability of the Zerg is more than thirty times that of humans, so it is normal that the host cannot see it."
Is it really convenient to design such a weird thing? "Can't it be more obvious? Isn't this making things difficult for myself?" Henry didn't understand. Wouldn't it be better to be more conspicuous?
"Every part of the Zerg warship is made as smooth as possible to prevent mutants from clinging and hiding. This is for safety reasons." Kamen explained.
While taking a shower, Henry finally asked his question, "Why are the attitudes of the two troops towards me so different?" Carlos and that Alberto looked very familiar, so why were the teams they led so different?
"Major Alberto is leading the search team. The host can understand it as a scientific expedition team going to Antarctica. With the empty starship and boring work, it's good enough that the group of warlike female soldiers in New Ailidu are not driven crazy. Military discipline is generally not emphasized." While speaking, Ka Meng also displayed the work content of the search team on the screen.
"Major General Carlos is leading the troops, so it's naturally different." Ka Meng didn't elaborate on this point. As an Earthling, she could understand war very well.
"I see." Henry nodded.
After taking a shower and lying comfortably on the bed, Henry finally felt the reality of this world. In just a few days, he experienced death and rebirth, escape from another world, and encountered completely unfamiliar Zerg. He was so tired that he soon fainted.
Henry had been on this starship for a month before he realized it. The Zerg fleet's military prowess was no less impressive than that of humans, especially their superior physical qualities, which brought them high agility and high burst, which was terrifying.
These have little to do with Henry. He has no bone wings and can't find room to play on this kind of battlefield, so he spends most of his time wandering around in the starship.
"Fuck him, Justu has entered the Surge Phase!" One day, Henry was admiring the starship cabin that only existed in movies when he suddenly heard a loud noise in the corner.
He knew the insect that had just made the sound. It was the medical insect Weigit on the starship. He had come to the room to help him examine his body.
At this time, he was trying to inject an inhibitor into the insect-like Yustu. The two female soldiers next to him held down the hideous insect with serious expressions.
Henry was so bored these days that he turned on the permissions and set the keyword switch so that he could chat with Ka Meng when he had nothing to do.
"Cameng, what is the blunt surge period?" Henry couldn't guess what this new term meant for a moment.
"The female insect's spiritual sea needs to be combed out regularly, otherwise it will become extremely painful. If it is not soothed for a long time, the female insect will enter a dull surge period, which is similar to the body's death warning."
"Damn it, there are no male insects now." The female soldier next to him became more and more anxious. He and Justu were comrades-in-arms.
All three females present knew that Justu was doomed, except for Henry, who had only a vague understanding of Zerg life. For a moment, the only sound in the corner was the female's painful screams.
Carlos walked over, his black knee-high boots standing out against the shiny floor of the warship. He raised the silver light energy gun in his hand.
"Wait!" Henry said a little hurriedly. After Ka Meng's introduction, he also understood the Zerg's blunt surge period. "Major General Carlos, I'm A-level. I want to try."
Carlos didn't expect that the male insect cub he rescued at that time was of such a high level. He retracted the gun. If possible, he didn't want his adjutant to die in the damn dull period.
Henry walked a little further. According to Kamen, using mental power was very simple for male insects. He focused all his attention on searching for the tiny threads in the air and then pulling apart the tangled parts.
Henry concentrated as hard as he could, and he did have some talent, so he was able to pull the threads quickly. Damn, it wasn't said that pulling them would cause such a headache.
Carlos stared at the female insect in the corner. They had fought together for more than 20 years. The reason why Justu fell into a dull period this time was because the expedition had lasted for too long. For a high-level female insect, this was undoubtedly dancing on the edge of a knife.
All the female insects present were paying close attention to the condition of the female insect. If the male insect could not be pacified, it must be killed immediately. Otherwise, the threat that the insect-transformed S-class military female might bring to this exhausted fleet would be unpredictable.
All the insects didn't notice that the male insect was covered in cold sweat, had a furrowed brow and pale lips.
Justu was S-level, and it was too difficult for Henry to jump to a higher level on his first attempt at comforting him. By the time he had dealt with these threads, his body had reached its limit.
"Okay." Hearing Camon's voice, Henry relaxed and fainted.
"Justu, you bastard really need to kowtow to that gentleman." Weigit injected the inhibitor tremblingly. He bastard is alive again, thanks to the blessing of the insect god.
Carlos also breathed a sigh of relief. When he came to his senses, he saw the male insect falling straight down. He reached out to catch him, only to feel that the male insect had wet his clothes.
It was only then that Carlos took his first look at Justu's savior. He had the same black hair as himself, trembling eyelashes, and lips that had turned white from excessive use of his mental power.
The male insect was too thin, so Carlos carried him back to the room. His fingerprints and pupil recognition were not deleted. No insect could let a male insect cub live alone in the room. This was the instinct of female insects.
Carlos finally felt relieved after replenishing the male insect's nutrient solution. This was the first time he had observed a male insect sleeping so closely. Very well behaved, Carlos concluded.
Henry is still very fair because he stays at home most of the time. He just became an adult not long ago, and his body has become thinner and he has lost a lot of weight, so he looks particularly thin.
Carlos first looked at Justu.
"Justu, you are so lucky to have met a male insect who doesn't hate military females, otherwise you would have been dead." Doctor Vigit was still chattering. The blunt surge period was too fatal to military females.
Justu's eyes were still red, and he hadn't recovered from the shock of the blunt surge. "Vijit, I will repay this kind male insect."
Carlos came in and saw Justo, who had recovered his energy, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Justu, I warned you a long time ago not to always rush to the front line. You don't have any male insects." Carlos' voice was still filled with anger.
"Major General, I don't want to be restricted by my rank forever." Major General Alberto is the idol of all low-ranking military women, and even has a great influence among higher-ranking military women.
Justu smiled and said, "For military females like us, we can only rely on military merit to get closer to high-level male insects." This is the fate of military females.
Carlos didn't know what he was thinking about, and clenched his fists, "Take care of yourself, Justo." Damn it, that damn noble worm, look at what he had fooled these military females into.
Carlos just came over to check on him, and when he saw that he was fine, he left.
When he reached the door, Yusitu's voice came from behind him, "Major General, after I return this time, I can truly become your deputy."
Carlos didn't look back, feeling happy for Justu. Damn it, he hadn't returned empty-handed. The battle against the mutants on Planet 098 yielded a large number of Level II crystals, as well as several Level III crystals. It was a significant harvest.

"You're awake, sir." Seeing Henry slowly open his eyes, Carlos quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Major General Carlos?" Henry looked a little dazed as he had just woken up. He looked around and saw that it was indeed his room. How did this major general get in?
"Sir, the female insects in New Eridu will not allow male insect cubs to live independently, so I still have the right to enter and exit your room. Of course, I generally will not break in without your permission. I hope you can understand." Carlos said, raising his hand to his chest and half-bowed to express his apology.
"It's okay. It was your room originally. Also, there's no need to keep calling me 'you'. You can call me by my name, Henry." Henry understood perfectly. He had learned from Kamen that male Zerg were considered broodlings before awakening. However, the issue of addressing him needed to be resolved quickly. Constantly calling him "Your Excellency" was awkward. He wasn't laying eggs.
"Okay, Henry." Carlos stood up suddenly. "On behalf of Squad 852, I express my sincere gratitude to you for comforting Colonel Justu. After returning to the main planet, I will apply for military merit for you."
His expression was so serious that Henry couldn't say no, so this was the only way for the time being.
Could such a small matter be considered meritorious service? He hadn't realized he was asking.
"Sir Henry, it is undeniable that you saved Justu's life." Carlos refuted his point.
Henry smiled a little embarrassedly, he just thought it was a very small thing for him.
