"Oh no, they're here."
The female who had been silently observing Su Tang suddenly changed her expression, stood up, and shielded Su Tang and Wu Bao behind her.
"Lie down quickly, don't let them know that you and the cubs are awake."
Upon hearing her words, the other females immediately pinned Su Tang and Wu Bao to the ground.
Su Tang realized that the group of females meant no harm and gave Wu Bao a look.
Wu Bao immediately understood, his body went limp, and he lay down next to Su Tang, sticking out his tongue.
Su Tang's lips twitched, and she stuffed its tongue inside.
I told you to pretend to be asleep, not to pretend to be dead.
Withdrawing her hand, Su Tang quickly closed her eyes and lay down. Almost at the same time, the wall was smashed, and a loud crash followed the falling debris.
Su Tang couldn't see it, but she could sense that the females around her instantly became alert, and the atmosphere around them was extremely tense, as if they were confronting their enemies.
Several insectoid orcs with bulging eyes appeared in the cave.
The leading orc had two yellow tufts of hair on his head, like two antennas stuck in his hair, curving towards his ears, which looked somewhat comical.
Its face is an inverted triangle shape and is ginger-yellow. If Su Tang were to open her eyes at this moment, she would definitely think she was seeing an alien.
"Have the newly arrived females and cubs woken up?"
The females ignored it, sticking together and remaining wary.
But unintentionally, he shielded Su Tang and Wu Bao behind him.
The ahoge-haired beastman looked around, roughly pulled the female away, and looked at Su Tang and Wu Bao, who were "unconscious" on the ground.
"Why isn't he awake yet?" The ahoge-haired orc frowned.
"Boss, the cubs aren't doing well lately. The leader wants us to hurry up and get some new females and cubs, healthy ones, not sickly ones." The little follower behind him reminded him at the right time.
The ahoge-haired beastman finally looked away from Su Tang.
"That's true. He fainted for no reason. Maybe he has some kind of disease. How can such a parasite nurture its offspring well?"
After it finished speaking, it looked at the other females in the cave.
"Where are the chicks you were supposed to incubate? Why haven't any of them hatched?"
"Don't even dream about it. Not a single one of our cubs will hatch. You won't succeed!" the female standing at the front said coldly.
The ahoge-haired orc glanced at her trembling hands and sneered.
"I've already told you, don't try to play any tricks on me. Since there are no cubs, then use females as substitutes."
It made a gesture, and the Zerg orcs behind it immediately stepped forward, grabbed a small, thin female in the far corner, and walked out.
"Let me go! You demons!"
The female struggled and cursed loudly, and the other females tried to stop her, but they were all stopped by the Zerg orcs.
"I advise you to obey and hatch your cubs. If there are no cubs in a day, I will take a female with me. Whether you want to live or die, it's up to you."
After the ahoge-haired orc finished speaking, he turned around and left with the insectoid orc and the female he had just captured.
The last two Zerg orcs to leave sealed the cave entrance back up.
I don't know what method was used, but it was exactly the same as before it was broken.
Silence returned to the cave.
"Meow!"
Hearing the footsteps of the insectoid orcs fade into the distance, Wu Bao flipped over and jumped up, running to where the ahoge orc had just stood, and disgustedly shoved his claws into the air.
The females were somewhat confused by its actions.
The first thing Su Tang did after getting up was to check the exit the Zerg orcs had left through. It was sealed off, just like before they came in.
"It's no use. This is their lair. We can't open it except for the Zerg orcs." The female suddenly poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"What if we could dig it open?"
“The Zerg orc lair has countless caves. How do you know which cave you’ve dug through? If we get captured, we’ll all be used as parasites.”
Upon hearing this, Su Tang thought of the conversation between the insectoid beastmen and the captured female, and looked at the female who was speaking to her with suspicion.
This female looks cold, but she saved her and her baby immediately.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, Wu Bao would probably have been taken away by the Zerg orcs by now.
They seem to be in a hurry to catch the cubs.
"Why are they catching the cubs? And what are these parasites?" Su Tang asked.
"Why should I tell you? Once you're in here, you can forget about getting out. Don't ask so many questions; it'll lessen your fear when you die," the female said coldly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of slender hands appeared in front of her.
In my palms were a handful of dry, unidentified objects that emitted a faint fruity fragrance.
The moment they smelled the fragrance, all the females couldn't help but swallow hard and looked at the female who had spoken.
Seeing their reactions, Su Tang knew that this female must be their leader.
"Want some?"
She moved the candied fruit in her hand forward.
Because of her habit of feeding her cubs, Su Tang carries a small crossbody bag with her every day, filled with dried fruit and jerky.
This is an essential item for going out to look for the baby today.
Fortunately, those guys only captured her and didn't take anything from her.
"No need, keep it for your last meal." The female's expression remained unchanged as she coldly turned her head away.
But the moment he turned his head, he couldn't help but swallow.
They hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time. Among the insectoid orcs, they ate dry branches and grass or drank water, which tasted bland.
Seeing this, the other females also forced themselves to look away.
"Thank you all for your help. I'm going to die anyway, and keeping me alive won't make me live a few more days. Let's eat together."
Without thinking twice, Su Tang stuffed the candied fruit directly into the female's hand.
The female appeared indifferent and ruthless, but in reality she was thin and small, with little strength. Before she could react, a handful of food appeared in her hand.
"Here, Wu Bao." Su Tang took out some dried meat from her small handbag and tossed it to Wu Bao.
Wu Bao leaped up, precisely snatched the jerky, and gnawed on it with a loud crunch.
"My name is A-Tang, and this is my youngest cub. What about you?" Su Tang also took out a piece of candied fruit, took a bite out of it, and asked generously.
“Shiying, they are all my people.”
Seeing that she and the cub had eaten, Shi Ying had no more scruples, just as she had said, since they were going to die anyway.
He immediately shared the dried fruit in his hand with the other females.
There were more than a dozen females, and only one was allocated to each person.
Despite being dry and hard dried fruit, it tasted incredibly sweet, and after eating it, the hungry females felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
They weren't so hungry anymore.
What kind of amazing food is this?
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Ying's eyes, and when he looked at Su Tang again, his gaze was different.
After the females finished eating, they merely licked their fingers and lips, without any sign of greed in their eyes.
They were all dying beasts.
Being able to eat such delicious food before I die is already very satisfying.
Su Tang sat down in the corner next to Wu Bao and stopped digging.
Seeing her actions, Quartz finally spoke:
What do you want to know?
