He was so excited that he didn't even notice this.
This area is full of manors of all sizes, and they are all inhabited by male insects who once held high positions and their families.
The Zergs in confrontation were all wearing fine materials, but the difference was clearly visible.
The shivering and panicked male insect was the best dressed, while the two children among the insect cubs whose bodies were mostly blocked by the female insects were slightly worse off.
The remaining two children were dressed the same as the female insect blocking the front, and were the worst.
And with this careful observation, more details come to light.
The female insects wore loose clothes, and their skin was covered with scars when they occasionally waved their arms. The most noticeable ones were whip marks oozing with blood, and some had even been eroded by friction.
As their bodies swayed, their clothes stuck to their abdomens, and the bulge was visible.
——No wonder the female soldiers were so restrained, it turned out that these female insects were already pregnant.
"You can't take the Hero away! What are we going to do if the Hero is imprisoned by you?"
"What did the Hero do? Why are you holding him captive?"
"You lowly creatures without a lord just can't stand us, and you're just trying to steal our lord under the guise of something else!"
“…”
The shrill noises were getting more and more outrageous, and Ivis raised his eyebrows and walked towards them.
The sound of approaching footsteps finally attracted the attention of the Zerg who were arguing in the chaos.
The female soldiers were startled when they saw Alvin standing behind Ivis. Then they excitedly said, "Lord Ivis!"
Elvis nodded slightly and focused his attention on the few female insects that had quieted down.
"You... you're a worm queen." One of the tallest female worms tugged at the hem of her clothes nervously. Under Elvis's calm gaze, the obscenities suddenly became stuck in her throat.
"Don't you hate him?" Elvis pointed at the curled-up male insect.
"How could I hate the male master?" The leading female insect opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her originally smooth words stumbled under Elvis's deep blue gaze.
Elvis lowered his eyes.
His mental perception was sharp, and he knew that these female insects truly felt that it was nothing and they had no resentment at all.
A female soldier who was originally confronting these female insects opened her mouth but made no sound.
Ives noticed and looked at him.
She was a young female soldier with immature eyebrows and eyes filled with confusion and anger.
He saw Elvis looking at him, his face flushed: "Sir..."
"What do you want to say? Tell them," Ives said.
"I..." The female soldier paused, then turned to look directly at the other female insects and asked loudly, "This male insect treated you so badly, don't you all resent him? He bullies the female insects, but in your eyes, he's done nothing?"
As he spoke, his tone became more resentful.
But his anger seemed even more baffling to the female insects.
As he questioned them, hatred filled the eyes of the other female soldiers, but the pregnant females were unconcerned: "The male lord is already several times stronger than other male insects to us, so why should we be dissatisfied?"
He clearly had some harsh words in mind, but after noticing Elvis standing beside him, he paused briefly before speaking in a more moderate tone: "As for what the male lord did to the female insect, for thousands of years, every female insect has gone through the same thing."
There were already some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and his regular facial features softened and were warm. When he gently stroked his abdomen, many female soldiers thought of their female fathers.
"Why do you have to change?" He said, "We've never felt like life was unbearable. Everything has always been fine."
The female soldiers hesitated for a moment.
I wasn't convinced by him, but I felt sorry for him.
Alvin didn't say anything. He stood quietly under the shade of the tree, with calmness and sadness mixed in his eyes.
Chapter 54
Not only Alvin, but several other female soldiers also remained silent.
It's not indifference, but expected absurdity.
The physical restraints have been removed, but the mental restraints are still deeply engraved in every move and every word of the female insect trapped in the quagmire.
Sad and ridiculous.
They were once victims, but now they have become defenders of the old rules.
Elvis's expression remained unchanged.
"Go ahead," he said.
The expressions of the female insects, who could not hide their embarrassment, changed, and the male insects' legs and feet went limp and they collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the females struggling to protect the males, Elvis said coldly, "Alvin and the others won't deliberately make things difficult for you. If you have a clear conscience, we will naturally reunite you after the interrogation. But if you continue to cause trouble, you will not be dealt with in this way."
"Besides, don't you care about the children at all?" When he said this, a hint of compassion overflowed from Elvis' eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, as if it were an illusion.
The female insect who spoke first was startled.
He turned around and saw four children behind him looking at them with their eyes open.
The Zerg cubs that could be raised by a male and female father were all over five years old. Although the four children were of different ages, the difference was not too big.
The temperature in the central area was uniformly controlled by a system simulation. It was late summer, and the nights were cool and breezy, not exactly cold, but the children, wearing thin pajamas, still shivered in the breeze.
But for some reason, the female insect's gaze passed over the two male insect cubs standing further ahead and fell on the female insect cub that was left behind.
That's his child.
He was wearing rough pajamas and had a look of panic in his eyes, but when his gaze fell on the female and male father who were supposed to be his support, he was numb.
The insignificant details become increasingly prominent. At first glance, the female and male larvae appear about the same size, but a closer look reveals that one is due to a naturally large frame, while the other is due to sheer weight.
The clothes I was used to wearing now felt like they had nails in them, pricking my skin and causing pain.
The male insect cubs were well protected behind them, but the female insect cubs were left outside the protection circle.
All kinds of details.
The scenes that were commonplace on weekdays suddenly became glaring.
But who hasn’t gone through this?
Yes, everyone goes through this.
He suddenly lost his strength and let the female soldiers take the male insect away.
——
"Let's go." Elvis withdrew his gaze and said in a light tone.
Boyce glanced at the two female insect cubs that fell at the back of the team with a sense of awareness. Before the vicious dog protecting its master could make a cold comment, Elvis glanced at him.
In Beuys's eyes, this simple glance was proud, beautiful, and passionate. The thrilling temptation was like a whirlpool, swallowing him up.
The vicious dog sheathed its fangs and followed its master obediently in a daze.
Perhaps DeWitt knew that he could not escape, so he stayed in the command center in the central area and did not leave.
When the female insects failed to break through the last line of defense, he was still trying his best to resist.
But when everything settled down, he calmed down.
Although the female soldiers did not take him away from the command center, it was naturally impossible for him to stay in the central area full of various instruments and command buttons.
DeWitt was held in a day room that had been searched.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he looked up.
Perhaps it was because of the light, or perhaps for some other reason, DeWitt narrowed his eyes slightly.
The blurry figure overlaps with the picture in memory.
"Insect Mother." He said softly, with an unknown emotion.
"Have you seen me?" Although Elvis raised his eyebrows slightly because of DeWitt's old appearance, he did not change his attitude.
During his reign, the Zerg anthropomorphic forms retained a youthful appearance until their death, and he never saw a Zerg with an aged appearance.
"I saw a picture of you once," DeWitt replied.
"Photos?" Elvis curled his lips in interest. Boyce, hearing this, also looked at DeWitt, his pupils grim and cold.
Ivis has never left the Zerg territory, and in his own territory, no Zerg dares to take pictures of the Zerg Queen privately.
If any photos have been leaked, they can only be of "Avis" taken by humans or other races during the war.
"It was secretly filmed by humans during the war." DeWitt's answer was as Ives expected.
Boyce, however, had a sinister and ferocious look on his face.
——Peeping insect mother.
His treasures can only be treasured by him.
Elvis didn't take offense at the possessiveness of the vicious dog. Instead, he leaned into Boyce's arms affectionately and asked, "Why are you unhappy again?"
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of teasing. The female soldier guarding the door blushed and stood straighter in silence.
Boyce didn't answer, but simply tightened his arms around Elvis' waist. The cold pheromones circled around him threateningly, suppressing all the restlessness with his strength.
Elvis looked at his stiff face and couldn't help feeling happy.
He glanced at DeWitt, then remembered something and asked, "Was the Chris System under the Zerg's rule from the beginning?"
DeWitt fell silent, a flicker of light in his cloudy eyes. Finally, he said, "No. Alien beasts won't land on planets once inhabited by a race once exterminated by the Zerg. The Chris system was empty until the male Zerg began to fight for power. By then, there had been no wars for a long time, and the Alien beasts' presence had faded."
"The decline of female Zerg status is a long process. During this period, an external enemy is needed to smooth the transition. Therefore, a portion of the Zerg was relocated to the Chris system. This gave the female Zerg a place to use their military power and also gave them hope for advancement."
Ives didn't comment. He had gotten his answer and lost interest in DeWitt: "Bert...right, come out. What's the point of hiding?"
"Mother Worm." A warm and clear voice sounded after a moment of silence.
A translucent figure emerged,
