There is strength in numbers. Hall directed Chris and Ignaz to help chop off dozens of the queen insect's legs. Each leg was as thick as a child's arm, with plenty of meat and fresh taste, which was absolutely delicious.
Now there are more than a hundred fires and barbecue grills set up in the open space. Hungry people are wolfing down the freshly baked big white eggs. They are smooth and delicious. Even without any seasoning, they are delicious enough for them.
After the Zerg attack, they hurriedly fled to this underground cavern with the rescue troops, leaving them without time to grab anything. The entire planet was in ruins, with houses, cars, and even the humans killed by the Zerg being completely devoured by the gluttonous bugs. Not to mention food, they didn't even have a change of clothes. They were all unkempt and grimy. When they saw the clean, neat reinforcements, they consciously kept their distance, fearing they would soil their clothes.
Auckland felt sorry for them as they ate without doing anything, so he asked someone to bring several large empty buckets. He quietly used his spiritual power to condense water and filled the buckets little by little.
"Prepare a few cups and let everyone take turns to drink some water to quench their thirst." He saw that these people's mouths were dry and cracked, and they needed to replenish water.
"Yes, Mr. Auckland." All the soldiers knew that Mr. Auckland was Major Hall's fiancé. He had an extremely outstanding talent in heraldry. The general and the major valued him very much, and the soldiers obeyed his orders.
Many soldiers, unaware of Auckland's extraordinary abilities, saw the empty buckets now filled and assumed his storage ring was filled with drinking water. However, a few buckets of water were definitely not enough for so many people, so Auckland could only continuously use his spiritual power to condense more water. Fortunately, the planet's spiritual energy was still abundant, and he had brought enough spiritual stones; otherwise, he didn't know if he could have held out.
Hall also noticed what was happening in Auckland, so he rushed Chris, Diana, and the others over to help Auckland condense water. They were already in the late stages of Qi Refining, so while the amount of water they condensed wasn't as large as Auckland's, it was still very useful.
Seeing the soldiers carrying buckets filled with water, the people, who hadn't had a drop of water in days, felt like they had finally received a downpour. They took turns scooping water from their cups and drinking it. They drank it carefully, mouthful by mouthful, not wasting a single drop. This water, condensed with spiritual energy, was incredibly sweet and delicious. After consuming it, it restored strength to their bodies, weakened by hunger.
After regaining some strength, the civilians and garrison troops didn't sit around waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Instead, they joined the busy procession, helping to build fires and grills, distribute water and food, and maintain order. There was no looting at all; there were simply too many people. Those who hadn't received food and water waited patiently, while those who were weak and looked grim were given priority. Those who felt they could still hold on pushed forward.
Everything went on in an orderly manner, and everyone tried to remain quiet so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to their saviors.
By this time, the insect legs were almost done. Using a sharp knife to crack the shell, the aroma of meat filled the air. Someone couldn't resist secretly trying a small piece. It was juicy, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, needing no seasoning. And even with the sour sauce Auckland had specially prepared, a little bit of it made you want to swallow your tongue.
"Hey! Stop stealing food!" When someone saw his companion stealing food, he immediately hit him.
The man shrank his neck, apologized repeatedly, and then beckoned the civilians to come and get food.
These people hadn't expected that the flesh of these king insects would actually be distributed to them! They were also on the Star Network and knew that king insect meat was a very precious ingredient, with only one king insect among thousands of insects, so it was extremely precious! But now they were being distributed to them as ordinary food?
"Hey, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and eat!" The soldier cut off a large piece of shelled insect meat and put it in the man's hand so that he could hold it and eat it. "Don't worry, everyone gets a share!"
The man walked to the side holding the insect meat in his hand. Some light red sauce was sprinkled on it, which smelled even more fragrant. He opened his mouth and took a bite, almost thinking that he had arrived in heaven.
As I was eating, I found myself in tears.
Before they knew it, all the roasted insect legs had been distributed, and new king insect meat was delivered. The huge body of the king insect was cut into several pieces, and each piece required two or three people to carry it together.
The roasting and distribution were swift; an overlord, weighing several tons, was devoured in just two hours. The civilian population and the local garrison totaled thirty to forty thousand people, and with the Second Army's twenty thousand men, one overlord clearly wasn't enough. Fortunately, they had caught a large number of insects, more than enough to feed everyone. Not to mention the tens of thousands of worker insects, they had already captured seven or eight overlords, more than enough to feed everyone present.
We were busy until late at night, and everyone had hot food to eat and sweet water to drink.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone felt as if they were really alive again. They gathered around the fire and slept on the ground, waiting to rebuild their homes after dawn tomorrow.
The officer commanding the garrison was invited to meet with General Williams. General Williams sat by the fire, holding a piece of roasted insect meat, looking no different from an ordinary person. He stood aside stiffly, not even knowing where to put his hands and feet.
"Sit down, sit down." General Williams greeted him in a very friendly manner.
The officer sat down carefully.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, what's going on with these bugs? How did they appear? Why are there so many of them?" Bugs are everywhere and can penetrate any hole, but such a huge number and such an astonishing scale of attack are really unusual.
"I don't know either. About ten days ago, our garrison base's radar showed a sudden large number of Zerg appearing within the 42nd Sector. They attacked three colonies. We immediately dispatched to evacuate the people, but the number of Zerg was too great. We couldn't fight them off, so we had no choice but to send an emergency rescue request to the federal government."
"I heard that the number of insects increases every day?"
"Yes, we were able to deal with the bugs that appeared at the beginning, but later on, more and more bugs appeared. Before you came, we were almost unable to hold on." Thinking about it now, the officer still felt a little scared. If these people had not appeared in time, they would probably have been buried in the belly of the bugs, and not even a bone would be left.
Hearing this, General Williams showed a thoughtful look. According to the research of researchers, these insects can travel long distances through wormholes in the universe, foraging for food and reproducing everywhere, but the time when wormholes appear is limited, and the number of insects that can pass through these wormholes is also limited. This is the first time they have seen such a large-scale attack of insects that attacks three planets at the same time, with a total number of up to one million.
There must be something wrong!
As soon as tomorrow morning comes, they will continue to go to the other two planets for rescue. I wonder what the situation will be like on the other two planets?
General Williams was certain that this incident had something to do with the Führer and Aiden Gladstone, but he couldn't figure out how they had done it? How had they been able to attract so many insects? What was their purpose?
There are no answers to these questions yet, so we can only wait until we go to the other two planets tomorrow to find the answers.
The author has something to say: Here comes the second update, love you guys! (╭￣3￣)╭?
[A small theater called "Waste" means...]
After this battle, the interstellar people gained a deeper understanding of the edible and delicious parts of the Zerg through the promotion of the survivors, thus contributing to the prosperity of the profession of Zerg hunter.
Decades later
A spring outing at a kindergarten's species exhibition garden:
Teacher: Students, today we are visiting an endangered species. This species, called the Zerg, has caused us huge losses in both life and property due to its powerful reproductive capacity and attack power.
Student: Then why are they endangered now?
Teacher: Because of its delicious taste and rich nutritional value, fewer than 1,000 individuals are currently being hunted in the entire universe, and it is listed as an endangered species...
born:……
[From Moshang's mini-theater, who drives away at the slightest disagreement]
Insect King: Humanity is rebelling! Come, insects, protect us! Protect us!
Hall: Hehehe... Darling, give your body to me.
King Insect: No! I don't want it! Let me go! Where are the insects? Protect me!
Hall licked the insect's leg and said: This tastes good. Hey, your balls seem to be pretty good too. ^_^
Overlord: Don't touch my balls! And don't eat me!
Hall: Oh, it's your honor to be eaten by my wife and I. Wife, look, there are so many delicious big white eggs!
Lanlan: Hall, there seems to be something wrong with your painting style.
