Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Everything is too familiar

The weapons on the battleships provided great convenience to the warriors who were pioneering the planet, but the shells prepared by the higher-level Zerg were ultimately a non-renewable resource and would be consumed sooner or later.

After discussion between Gal and Angus, they decided to save resources and use more cold weapons such as swords.

The materials used to make cold weapons are very important. Angus accidentally discovered that the bones of the monster he had killed some time ago were extremely hard and could directly penetrate the boulders outside when thrown out.

In addition to opening up new land, the latest mission of each team is to dig out all the materials that can be made into weapons from outside.

Rocks, bones, wood, and a pile of unknown objects wrapped in huge leaves were all piled on the ground.

Like the University Night Market that Gal often visits, however, the things on the 'stalls' are a bit too primitive.

"I've studied the history of the universe. Some lower-level civilizations don't have the weapons we have. They can only make some cold weapons with existing resources."

"Since they can develop civilization with cold weapons, so can we."

Gal understood what Angus meant. His country had also gone through countless national disasters from the era of cold weapons and gradually developed into the era of thermonuclear weapons.

In an era even more desolate than the era of cold weapons, humans have been able to survive.

They have resources, weapons, researchers, and strong warriors, so why can't they survive on this desolate planet?

Rocks can be used as replacement bullets, wood can be made into farm tools, and monster bones can be made into sharp blades.

So, what can we do with this pile of leaves?

Gal pointed at a ball wrapped in leaves and said, "What is this? This leaf is so dirty, is it still useful?"

Angus hadn't looked at everything the soldiers brought back. "Who brought this back? What's in it?"

A young soldier with blue hair and blue eyes stepped out of the team and said, "Sir, this is something I found under the land in Area C that I just took over. It has a strange shape and is made of hard material. It looks like it should be useful."

"Are the things wrapped in these four leaves all the same?" Angus pointed his finger across the four tightly wrapped balls.

From the appearance, it looks like a round object. Could it be...

With this size and shape, could it be something like a thunder cloud?

Cloud mines are lethal weapons buried under the ground that explode when pressed by heavy objects. They are often used by higher Zerg in battles with planets.

The planet D81 was once the territory of a higher class of insects, which had a group of warlike leaders.

This planet was originally a barren planet, or it became a barren planet due to the intervention of higher-level Zerg. Only the high-level Zerg people know this.

It is very likely that Zerg weapons appeared on Planet D81.

"Is there any explosion-proof equipment on the Reda?" Angus looked up and asked the monitor.

The surveillance system will transmit every image on the battleship to the main system. Angus knows that when it comes to the safety of the male insects, the battleship system will answer him.

"Yes, but turning on the explosion-proof device requires A-level authority, and it can only be done with the order from His Highness Gal." Amo replied.

"Angus, what's wrong?" He was fine just now, why are you suddenly talking about explosion-proof equipment?

Angus, "I suspect this thing might be a □□."

Gal raised his eyes and looked at the orc. "Safety is the most important thing. We must take it seriously even if there is a slight possibility."

Unlike some superiors who would scold their subordinates for getting too excited, he agreed with Angus and was cautious.

"Everyone go out, Amo, turn on the explosion-proof device, and wait until everyone is out of this room, then investigate this spherical object." Gal gave the order decisively.

Everyone left the room, and with the sound of the alarm, the explosion-proof device of the Reda was activated.

Gal led the soldiers to retreat to another room, and the scene in the original room was clearly projected on the pure white wall.

Under the gaze of more than twenty pairs of eyes, a pair of mechanical arms that impressed most of the soldiers present stretched out from the wall.

A thumb-length gap opened at the top of the sturdy arm, from which a thin probe protruded.

The needle circled the ball, as if looking for the most suitable opening to enter and investigate the situation.

In addition to the image in the room, a spherical frame also appeared on the screen.

But this sphere doesn’t look really round. There are things hanging down to the ground like ropes attached to it.

From this point of view, it is not similar to cloud thunder.

"Your Highness, do you want to continue?"

"continue."

The male insect gave the order, and a faint yellow light emanated from the sharp probe.

The light fell on the green leaves outside the sphere, first creating a small crack. As the yellow light gradually deepened, the green leaves gradually turned into powder.

The things wrapped in the green leaves also fell completely into everyone's sight.

A strange sphere that is completely different from the cloud thunder. What kind of weapon is this?

Could it be something left behind by the natives of this planet?

"This... shouldn't be a lethal weapon."

"Hey, is there anyone with more knowledge who can help us solve this problem?"

"This thing looks more like a decorative object."

Various speculations emerged from the soldiers' mouths.

However, the best news for them is that there is a 99% chance that these four big balls are not lethal weapons.

"This... This is impossible..."

The silver-haired male insect trembled all over, his upper and lower teeth colliding with each other, and the cloud pattern on his forehead flickered slightly.

His eyes, which were usually full of mystery, were now filled with deep fear and sadness.

They are just four balls, why is the male insect so excited?

"Gal, what's wrong with you?" Angus held the silver-haired male's hand and carefully touched the male's pale cheek with his other free hand.

"It, they... no, it's impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Angus, tell me this can't possibly happen."

The male insect lost his mind in an instant. His handsome face wrinkled into a ball and tears welled up in his eyes.

Staring into the male's golden eyes, you can see the endless abyss waving at you.

He seemed to be holding onto a person seeking help on the edge of a cliff. If a breeze blew, he would completely lose his strength and fall into the bottomless cliff.

"Yes, that's impossible." The blond beastman kept soothing the male insect.

Angus didn't know why the things in the picture could stimulate the male insects.

Seeing the male insect collapse and ask for help, Angus felt as if his heart was pierced by countless needles.

I can relate. Is this one of the effects of a slave contract?

Without giving Angus a chance to relax, the silver-haired male fell into his arms and fainted.

"Gal, Gal..." Angus called the male insect's name, keeping the posture of holding the male insect in his arms and not daring to move.

The silver-haired male insect's forehead pattern caught the attention of the female insects present.

When the number of male insects is extremely low, higher insects are very concerned about fertility, and they will use almost any method that can increase fertility.

One of the regulations is about physiological education. Female insects must be exposed to physiological knowledge from an early age, and they must fully master the physiological knowledge about male insects.

"Your Highness's emotions are fluctuating too much. The male insect pattern is controlling your mental power to stabilize your emotions. You just need to rest for a while." Aiden explained.

Angus sighed, "How long will he be like this?"

"Not necessarily. Some need to stay asleep for a day or two, while others only need a few dozen cycles."

Angus couldn't hold the male insect like this forever, "Okay, you guys go do what you need to do first. No one is allowed to enter this room."

"No one is allowed to leave..." Beyond everyone's imagination, the silver-haired male insect came to his senses after a while.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked like he had just gone through a battle that exhausted all his energy and vitality.

The silver-haired male insect struggled to stand up. "Who found the lantern inside and where did you find it?"

"Lantern?"

What is that? I never heard of a weapon with that name.

The ball has a bright red base and a bright yellow long spike. Apart from the different materials, this thing is obviously the traditional handicraft of the Chinese people for thousands of years - the lantern.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the red lantern, which represented reunion, again, he was no longer even a Chinese.

Fainting due to emotional excitement is a fragile physical mechanism of male insects.

Gal has never been a guy who accepts his fate easily, he must find out the truth of the matter.

If things were really as he thought, then...

With the help of Angus, Gal stood on the ground with difficulty.

However, compared to his tired and weak body, the male insect's eyes were firm and domineering, making everyone within his sight want to kneel down in submission.

"Did anyone hear my question?" Gal repeated grimly.

"Yes, it's me." The soldier, who thought he had gotten into big trouble, raised his arms tremblingly at the back of the crowd.

Everyone dispersed to both sides without any prior agreement, leaving a way for their unlucky companion to move forward.

"Take me to where you found the balls inside, now, immediately."

When the soldier heard that the male insect just wanted him to lead the way, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, it's in the forest ahead."

"You dug it from beneath the soil?"

"Yes, it is."

"Amo, take out Anwei No. 1."

The Anwei is an excavation system prepared by the higher Zerg for Gal. There are five of them in total, with different appearances and uses. No. 1 is a portable cannon.

"Your Highness, you must at least take a team with you when you go out. For your safety..." Aiden was the first to object to the male insect's decision not to take the soldiers out all at once.

"I'll say it again, everyone stay on the Reda." Gal is not so easy to talk to now.

Under Gal's strong order, he only brought Angus and the leading soldier with him to the outside world this time.

Gal sat on the mechanical warhorse, feeling the breeze and the not-so-hot sunshine. Everything was too familiar...
