Chapter 23: The Major General's Past Another Day of Cursing the Noble Bugs
He hadn't read all the messages Kavadi had sent before, but the latest one caught his attention. Did Carlos know about this?
"Tell me more about what you just mentioned."
The blond male insect looked at him with some fear and waved his hands. "Haha," he laughed dryly, trying his best to hide his embarrassment. "What are you talking about? I didn't say anything."
As she spoke, she kept signaling Henry with her eyes to pay attention to the white-haired male insect on the bed.
As if convulsing, he said, "I'm talking about the incident where the male insect that was traveling died that you just mentioned." Who cares about the love and hate of other insects? He can like whoever he likes.
Anyway, in his opinion, there is no difference between liking male insects and liking female insects, and it no longer shocks him.
"Oh, you're talking about this. I'm not quite sure. I don't know why the male insect died suddenly." Kavadi's focus is different from that of other insects.
"I heard that the male insect and his female had a very good relationship. Alas, it's so tragic that this happened while they were traveling."
Sanya really wanted to kill this noisy male insect. He talked too much nonsense and didn't get to the point.
"The male insect died at home, and there was nothing unusual about it. It's probably jadeification."
This white-haired male insect looked fierce, but he was easy to talk to, and what he said was much more useful than Kavadi.
"What is jadeification?" It was the first time he heard of this disease.
"It's just that group of useless medical insects. They can't diagnose the disease and assign it to the male insect. Who knows what disease it is."
Sanya has been holding a grudge against those useless medical insects for a long time. Damn it, Xixis hasn't been given an explanation as to why that insect likes male insects.
Could it be a coincidence? I always feel that there is a vague connection, but I don’t know where the problem lies. Forget it, I’ll ask the major general if he knows about this first.
[Major General, did you know that the male insect who went to the jungle to travel died?]
After sending the message, Henry didn't expect the major general to see it immediately. At this critical juncture, he probably didn't have time to look at the information on his computer.
Although, he missed the cool black mecha so much now. The starship is so big, there should be a place for training.
Henry wanted to be in a daze, but the white-haired male insect kept staring at him, "Do you have something to ask me?"
Of course, Kavadi noticed Sanya's strange behavior, but he just stared at him. It wouldn't hurt him, so why ask questions? What if this pervert went crazy? What would he do?
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
Oh, it seems that there is no introduction.
"Henry."
The white-haired male insect raised an eyebrow slightly, climbed out of the bed, sat on the chair, and looked him over carefully. "Oh, you are Carlos' male insect."
What's Carlos's male insect? He's so dumb.
"Be more respectful when you speak." Otherwise, he wouldn't mind teaching him how to make a bug again.
"Hmph," his nose suddenly stopped being a nose, his eyes stopped being eyes, and he looked at insects through his nostrils. "Sorry."
He has a good attitude, otherwise...
"But it's a fact that Lieutenant General Carlos has been hiding you and not taking you to the banquet. There's nothing wrong with admitting it." Sanya really didn't have any ill intentions. He was just a bit pampered and noble.
The two bugs seemed to get along quite well, but Kavadi was terrified. How could one be a pervert and the other be a pervert? It was so scary.
Henry looks very kind, how could he be in cahoots with Carlos? You can't judge a book by its cover. Is he really safe in this dormitory?
"What banquet? I've never heard of it." Henry turned his head and looked at Kavadi. "Also, what's that look in your eyes?"
Kavadi seemed to be frightened. With a rustling sound, he pushed the chair away, and the messy things on the table were also knocked into disarray.
"It's okay! Hehe." He was busy packing up and put on a flattering smile again.
"It's a banquet for nobles. Didn't you awaken to S-level? Many nobles wanted to marry you, but were stopped by the lieutenant general." Sangya paused, as if he thought of something.
"I heard that the investigators from the Xiongbao Association were also stopped by him, and in the end the president had to go there himself."
Unexpectedly, the major general looked obedient and seemed to be thinking about him, but he was actually forcing him to do something difficult behind his back.
"Oh, that's great." Even if he received an invitation, he would not go. He had no interest in attending the banquet. Besides, did the Zerg really care about anything else besides that matter?
It can’t be a huge blind date party!
Henry uncovered the truth without even realizing it.
"What about you? What's wrong with you?" He looked at Kavadi helplessly. This male insect was very familiar with others, so why would he be so frightened when he heard the name of the major general? If you didn't know, you would think the major general had done something bad.
"Henry, do you really know Lieutenant General Carlos?!" The little golden-haired boy confirmed timidly, and looking at the male insect's eyes, he knew the answer.
"That... is..." Kavadi stammered, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"You say!" Really, this little golden retriever is also timid.
"Carlos, haven't you heard? Wow, in the past hundred years, the only low-ranking military female who managed to get to the rank of major general is now a lieutenant general."
Although General Staru was not born into the noble family of the main planet, he was still a noble of a Class B planet. Although he was also considered a commoner by those nobles, he was more or less accepted by the nobles.
But, “Carlos led a small team to the main planet. The main planet was full of starships, fighter jets, and aircraft, and he managed to get in.
It was so terrifying that during that time, I didn’t dare go out for fear of being beaten to death.”
Henry really didn't know that when he met the major general, he only paid attention to his extremely high military qualities and command ability.
"You don't know?" The little golden retriever saw Henry's interested look, as if he had never heard of it.
"It's normal not to know. What kind of bug has nothing better to do than to discuss a lieutenant general? It's not like he wants to die or that he's had enough of life."
Kavadi patted his chest and said, "Luckily, General Staru remained calm in the face of danger and directly appointed him as Major General of the Molissam War Zone. He also gave a lot of money to each bug in the 852nd team."
Sanya also nodded as he listened. It was obvious that he had also heard about this matter. He seemed to be interested and took over the conversation.
"I heard they've been on many expeditions and come back just as fast. They've almost vanquished every variant, big and small. They're pretty brutal. Last time, in 098, they destroyed an entire planet."
"Yeah, yeah. I heard there were quite a few Level I variants back then, but they're all gone. A beautiful planet, now barren."
The little golden retriever shook his head in a serious manner, clicking his tongue, probably feeling sorry for the mutant that couldn't be eaten.
"Some time ago, he beat up Baron More's female."
"That's not a fight, it's a violation of military discipline. I heard that the information about the training ground was leaked to the Baron. This has nothing to do with the Lieutenant General." Sanya interrupted him coldly, not even understanding what he was talking about.
"Oh, so that's it. I heard it from those male insects. I've never seen it." The little golden retriever scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Are you stupid? Those nobles hate him so much. Listen to what they say, idiot." Sanya rolled his eyes. The last time he was so speechless was when Sissis climbed into his bed in the middle of the night.
Cavadi was unhappy about being scolded, but he didn't dare to say anything. "I'm not stupid, I'm just too idle. Bas has to go to work every day. I have nothing to do at home, so I go to listen."
"Oh, I don't know if Bass has recovered. He hasn't called me. I miss him so much." His gentle female queen always agrees with him. Humph, none of these two bad guys are willing to speak for him.
Henry and Sanya looked at each other and were speechless. Love-brained worms are shameful.
But why hasn’t the Major General looked at the laptop yet? Is he so busy? Damn it.
By the time the other two bugs had gone to sleep, Henry still hadn't received a reply.
When the starship was jumping, he couldn't tell the difference between day and night. Even though he had stayed there for a while, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
He had also imagined that there really were aliens in the universe, but when they actually appeared, he felt endless chill.
The universe is so vast, how can we be sure whether he is a human, an insect, or a mutant, a judge, or a fish on the chopping board? But there is no point in thinking too much.
In the silent but not dark space, there was only the male insect himself. The air slowly wandered around him, covering him with a layer of silver mist. At least at this moment, the loneliness of being in a foreign land was truly revealed without any cover.
Buzz——
The vibration of the optical computer interrupted his thoughts. It was a message from the major general.
[I haven't received any news yet. How did you know? ]
Henry calmed down and said, "My fellow soldier said so. Why are you replying now?"
This is not to condemn the major general, but normally he would not be so busy, after all, the major general is not a driver.
The nobles have concealed a lot of information. This trip may be more dangerous than we initially anticipated. Some unregistered insects have appeared in the team. I don't know who sent them, but we're dealing with them.
He felt the same way, especially since even the Major General hadn't received the news. However, Kavadi knew that this confirmed his suspicion. The selfish nobles wanted to deal with this disaster and also wanted Lieutenant General Carlos to "die in battle". How despicable!
[No wonder you're so busy. What else do you know about the jungle?]
[The latest news is that the scouts who entered the deep forest have all entered the dull surge phase.]
[Major General, have you heard of Jade Transformation?]
[Of course, General Staru's male insect died from this disease.]
[So, are there male insect doctors in New Airi? ]
[It seems there aren't any. The only male insect known for medical expertise is Cole from the Imperial Research Institute, but he also primarily researches pharmaceuticals. Apart from him, I haven't heard of anyone else.]
All of this information confirmed the male insect's suspicions. "So if Jadeification is a mental illness, can a female insect doctor detect it?"
[That's... hard to say. The doctor suspects the male insect died from pain and depression.]
[It's possible, but I have a feeling that the firefly grass might be poisonous, and this poison can also erode mental strength.]
"Henry, you know that our female insects' perception of mental power is limited to pain. This is difficult to verify at the moment, and New Alidu will not allow us to conduct experiments on male insects."
After discussing the serious matters, Henry chatted with the major general about some trivial matters.
He still felt that the Long Firefly Grass was related to mental power. Perhaps the male insect's death was due to the induction of a massive loss of mental power? The female insect was also stimulated to enter the blunt surge phase. Hiss, this variant was indeed very targeted at the Zerg.
