Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Escaped Slave, Amo, you are...
Gal suffered from insomnia. His brain told him that he needed to fall asleep immediately, but his mind could not relax no matter what.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw a figure running through the forest. He knew clearly that this planet was a barren planet with no intelligent life, but he couldn't stop letting his imagination run wild.
Until the second half of the night, the sound of the beastman's steady breathing could be heard from the folding camp bed nearby.
The camp bed that was so narrow that the orcs could only curl up on it was completely incomparable to the soft and spacious round bed under him.
But how could the orc sleep so soundly, while he tossed and turned in bed but could not find a position that was convenient for him to fall asleep.
"Huh!" Gal let out a long breath, stood up and poured a glass of water.
Drinking some cold water can soothe his restless heart.
I had just taken a sip of water when I suddenly heard a quick and short sound of knocking metal.
Gal was stunned. He put down his cup of water, leaned against the wall of the cabin, and listened carefully.
This was followed by a series of sharp shouts and devastating cries.
Gal was frightened by the horrible cry for help and took a few steps back.
Isn’t this a barren planet with no other intelligent life?
But the sound he heard was clearly a scream that only humans could make?
What if there really is a life out there asking him for help?
While Gal was weighing the current danger level outside, he was also worried about the people outside who were asking him for help.
He paced back and forth in the room, and although the floor was covered with carpet, the noise still woke Angus who was sleeping soundly.
Angus half-raised himself and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing the man's voice, Gal seemed to have found someone he could rely on, and hurried to the folding bed.
"Did you hear anyone calling for help outside?" Gal squatted beside the bed, his peach blossom eyes full of worry and fear.
Angus's hearing is much better than that of the male insect. What sound in the room can't he hear?
He tried to concentrate and carefully distinguish the sounds nearby, but apart from the sound of machinery running, he still didn't hear any other special sounds.
"No? But I clearly heard someone patting the hull." Gal asked anxiously.
As he spoke, he heard a few more 'rumbling' sounds.
Angus observed the male insect squatting in front of him, his eyes trembling and his expression serious, and he didn't look like he was joking.
"The main cabin of a high-level Zerg warship is located in the center of the warship. Unless a shell or meteorite hits the hull, the main cabin will not hear any movement."
Angus had heard that male insects were relatively fragile and delicate, but he didn't expect that even this seemingly carefree male insect in front of him was a flower that needed careful care.
I just took him for a tour around the deserted planet today, why is he so scared now?
"Really no sound?" Gal muttered to himself doubtfully, "Did I really hear it wrongly?"
Angus got up from the folding cot, climbed onto the round bed, and leaned against the left side of the bed. "Okay, go to sleep. You still have to exercise tomorrow."
It seemed that there was indeed no sound.
Gal lay back on his bed obediently.
In my mind, I was thinking, 'The folding bed must be very uncomfortable, otherwise the orc would not be willing to lie on the edge of his own bed.'
The beastman on the other side was thinking, "The male insect is just delicate, I'd better sleep with him for one night. Otherwise, if the male insect has to suffer like this all night and gets sick again tomorrow, it will be troublesome."
Listening to the orc's steady breathing, Gal's confused mind gradually calmed down.
The orc seemed to have a relaxing power. When Gal, who was curled up on the other side of the bed, felt nervous, he opened his eyes and looked at the orc.
Before he knew it, in the blink of an eye, Gal fell asleep.
*
Early in the morning, Gal woke up from his sleep in a daze.
The others moved to the center of the round bed, but the beastman who was supposed to be lying beside the bed had disappeared, with a coat that did not belong to him lying next to him.
Orcs need less sleep, and Angus slept for less than three weeks.
In the past, after washing up, he would do physical training for about a week.
Now letting him lie in bed with the male insect was a waste of precious time in Angus's mind.
In order to let the male insect have a good sleep, he had to take off his coat which was stained with his own smell and put it next to the male insect.
However, because of the damn contract he had made with the male insect, he couldn't stay too far away from the male insect for the time being. Angus had to use some of the things available in the room to do some simple physical training.
When the training was completed, the male insect had not woken up yet, so Angus had to pick up a book from the drawer.
Then, Gal saw a handsome man in a white shirt reading the novel "The Male Insect in Distress Falls in Love with Me" with great interest.
I didn't expect that Zhuanghan also likes to read romance novels.
"Have you eaten?" Gal still retains the Chinese habit of asking people "Have you eaten?"
This is a world of advanced civilization. Eating and drinking are no longer the most important things. Just deal with it casually as long as the body has enough nutrition.
"Are you hungry? Let A-Mo get you some nutrient solution?"
When he heard that it was another nutrient solution with a complex taste, Gal's face sank. He bit his lip and expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes.
"Okay, after you finish eating, go check out the data analysis of yesterday's samples. Since you want to be the lord of this desolate planet, you must understand all the life on this planet."
Compared to Gal, Angus seemed to want him to become the lord of this desolate planet as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, today's nutritional supplement is in the flavor of carabaos soup." The little robot held the plate with a pink nutritional solution that looked like some kind of strawberry drink.
The carp is a fish provided by a lower civilization creature that was occupied by the higher insect race.
Although the military and technological development of the advanced Zerg is one of the best in the universe, the situation on the capital planet is not conducive to the development of aquaculture and agriculture.
When it comes to food and drink, higher-level Zerg can only rely on supplies from subordinate planets.
These limited ingredients are only available to female worms with higher social status and naturally noble male worms. Ordinary female worms can only buy nutritional supplements that taste similar to delicacies.
"Gulp gulp."
For Gal, who was used to eating all kinds of delicious food, drinking nutritional supplements was more difficult than taking medicine. He tilted his neck back, closed his eyes, and poured the nutritional supplement into his stomach.
The advanced Zerg have developed technology to the point where they can become one of the overlords of the universe through force, but why do they just eat strange-tasting nutritional supplements all day long? It seems that even advanced civilizations are not perfect.
Gal couldn't forget the sound from last night. He tried to ask the omnipotent little robot in front of him, "Amo, was there any kind of life knocking outside the Reda yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Amo's main system is being repaired."
The turmoil encountered in the universe before had an impact on the interior of the Reda, and the main system also suffered some damage.
Previously, the hull lacked water resources, and the remaining resources were used to maintain the normal operation of the battleship system. After the resources were sufficient, the second phase of maintenance work was started.
The battleship maintenance work has been going on quietly since last night, and only one step is left this morning.
In order to facilitate the monitoring of external situations, pinhole monitors are hung all over the Reda. These machines can be used normally not only at night, but also on the battlefield where war is raging.
After the repairs were completed, Amo pulled up the surveillance footage from last night. "Your Highness, there was indeed a living being moving outside the battleship last night."
The little robot's answer also caught the beastman's attention, "Are there other intelligent life forms on this planet besides him and me?"
The owner of the Reda is Gal, and Amo also recognizes that Gal is its owner. After the male insect nodded to it, the little robot continued to speak.
"Yes, those life forms are all slaves given to His Majesty Gal by the Insect Emperor." The little robot's voice was steady and mechanical.
"What did you say?!!!"
The little robot's answer shocked the beastmen and male insects present.
