Chapter 70 Nightmare: I haven’t had a dream yet!
Lu Erya said so many disrespectful words in public today, and she guessed that the Queen Bee might come looking for her after waking up.
She was ready to gather her strength and prepare for the attack, so she went to bed early.
That night, Lu Erya had a dream.
I dreamed that I was being chased by a swarm of insects of unrecognizable species.
Insects like thick black fog gathered in the sky and swirled around.
From time to time, it would use its cold and sharp feet or wings to scratch and invade her body.
There was a dull itch and pain in the area that was touched, which was very uncomfortable.
In the dream, Lu Erya tried her best to escape, but as soon as she ran away for a distance, the swarm of insects would surge from all directions like a tide and quickly gather, forming a cloud of insects that enveloped her.
Lu Erya could never escape.
Trapped in such a vortex of insects, Lu Erya's heart was undoubtedly filled with fear.
But when she thought that this was the last scene of Feng Qiang's life, all she felt was regret and heartache.
"Rose...Rose..." Lu Erya was talking sadly in her sleep. She really had no strength left and didn't want to run anymore.
So he allowed himself to be devoured by the swarm of insects.
Finally, his breathing stopped and he woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and found her vision blurry. After many years, her tears wet her pillow in her sleep again.
Lu Erya's cheeks were wet and her whole body was covered in cold sweat, like a cat that had just been pulled out of the water.
She clenched her fists, trying to drive away the horrific images in her dream, as well as the unforgettable image of Feng Qiang's eaten body.
When she calmed down a little, she realized something was wrong.
It's too quiet.
It wasn't just the quietness at the sound level; she felt her entire brain became peaceful and tranquil.
Not only is Cui, who took care of her 24 hours a day, missing!
As soon as I arrived at the hive, the feeling of being watched and observed by countless eyes disappeared.
The uneasy mood suddenly spread everywhere like shattered fragrance.
Lu Erya realized that something was wrong.
She didn't care about being sad, and quickly took the bee skirt and put it on while preparing to go out to find Cui.
Cui is her personal bee and the only person she can trust in the hive besides her teammates.
When she was about to button the second to last button, Lu Erya felt a cold wind blowing from behind.
Then, a gentle, quiet, and slightly curious voice appeared in her ears.
"You're awake, where are you going?"
The sound was so clear, it was like opening a room in my brain and letting it in.
Lu Erya's pupils shrank slightly and she glanced around vigilantly.
There wasn't much furniture in the beehive, and everything was visible. I was indeed the only one there.
Where does such a clear sound come from?
As if to answer her doubt, the voice chuckled softly and continued, "It's me, can you tell?"
"Are you...Queen Bee?"
He realized that the leader of the entire humanoid bee colony was actually speaking in his mind.
Lu Erya's whole body tensed up instantly. She looked around suspiciously and could no longer relax.
"You can call me Wei." Queen Bee didn't care about her change of attitude.
Over the years, she has brought countless humans into group consciousness in order to evolve.
In short, some people hate her, some people are afraid of her, and some people admire her...
The bee colony itself was so weak, but now it has grown to this point. The queen bee feels that she has done a great job.
A great being like her should be praised and feared.
If this interesting woman has positive emotions about herself, she will not understand.
"Were you crying just now? Why were you crying?"
Most humanoid bees haven't even evolved facial expressions or intonation, let alone tear glands, so the queen bee's mind is filled with pure curiosity.
When Lu Erya had previously fought against the Queen Bee that possessed Cui, she only tasted the madness of this guy.
And I don’t know why I was chosen to be blind.
She had no idea that Queen Bee's own voice was so beautiful.
It's like a cup of honey water with just the right sweetness, soft and sweet, making it impossible for people to be alert.
Even though we know that the Queen Bee sent people to grab people on the street and forcibly take them as mates, what she did was extremely evil.
Lu Erya still couldn't express her disgust for such a pleasant voice.
The tone of Wei's voice always reminded her of Feng Qiang, and she simply couldn't say no to the questions Feng Qiang asked...
She slowly closed her eyes, and after calming down, she said calmly, "I had a nightmare."
"Can you tell me about your dream? I haven't had a dream yet!" When Queen Bee's voice was filled with joy and anticipation, she sounded more like Feng Qiang.
Lu Erya stared at the patterns on the floor for a long time, and finally felt that it didn't matter if she knew what happened in her dream.
"I dreamt of a swarm of insects chasing me. They weren't humanoid bees, but other insects. I couldn't see what they looked like...
I wanted to escape but couldn’t, so I just stood there and let the insects bite and gnaw me…”
Lu Erya's words were not very coherent, but Wei understood them all.
"If I could see the insects you're talking about, I would send worker bees to kill them all, digging out the nests and pupae and burning them. That way, no insects like that would bite you again."
The Queen Bee seemed very pleased with herself.
With her sweet voice, she spoke indignantly for justice for Lu Erya.
However, she inadvertently exposed her cruelty and violence.
It was so easy to wipe out a race that might have evolved and might have had some connection with the humanoid bee swarm.
Lu Erya frowned and realized this.
She was no longer bewitched by the queen bee's honey-like voice. Feng Qiang was the kindest person she knew, completely different from Wei Tiannai's cruelty.
Five years ago, when relations between evolved species and humans were tense, Feng Qiang would risk having his eyes gouged out by falcons and climb dozens of trees to help the birds that fell to the ground find their parents.
Lu Erya pinched her eyebrows, thinking that since their consciousnesses were connected, it couldn't be wasted.
So she asked bluntly, "Let's not talk about my dream anymore. Will you send my team members away?"
"I need to think carefully about this question and cannot give a definite answer."
The Queen Bee was actually smart enough to dodge her straight shot.
Lu Erya swallowed, her voice cold and stern, refusing to let her go, "I ask you to send them away, and then we will meet.
You must be in desperate need of a mate, or you wouldn't risk the base by attacking our team."
The Dawn Base is closer to the Southern Forest, so Lu Erya asked the two women who came from the Dawn Base.
They said that there had never been a record of humanoid bee swarms attacking humans before. They had evolved like a complete small society, and the order and hierarchy between the swarms were clearer than those in human bases.
For such a long time, the humanoid bee swarm has kept its distance from the Dawn Base, otherwise the two of them would not dare to come to the forest alone to check the situation.
"But……"
Seeing that Queen Bee's attitude had softened slightly, Lu Erya lowered her head, letting her bangs cover half of her eyes.
She tried her best to act gentle and friendly, beginning with a soft sigh and then looking up as if she was both annoyed and shy: "When humans are courting, they will do things to please their mates to express their sincerity.
You've been trapping my team members, so I don't see your sincerity. Then we'll never meet again, and never have sex again."
"No! You are the woman I have chosen. You must see me, you must fall in love with me, and you must be with me forever..."
Queen Bee's voice became high-pitched and she recited madly.
It was like an undercurrent hidden beneath the water surface began to surge, easily stirring up the poor little fish and shrimp under the water surface into a mess, making it impossible for them to find a foothold for life.
"If you want to win my favor, then release my team members as soon as possible. And they must leave in a safe place under my supervision." Lu Erya's attitude was very clear, and this was the only point on which she could not compromise.
In front of the team members, Queen Bee's nice voice means nothing.
However, you have to give people sweet rewards after slapping them, otherwise it will be counterproductive if you push them too far.
Lu Erya smiled coldly again, "This is my only request. As long as you send them away and show your sincerity, then I will also show my sincerity."
"Will you marry me and have sex with me?"
Wei's tone was urgent and turbulent, making people's hearts beat fast.
Lu Erya hummed, unbuttoned her bee skirt, took off her clothes, and even lay back on the bed naked without changing into her nightgown.
"I promise."
The humanoid bee queen, for the first time after her evolution, developed the complex, lustful emotions that only humans possess.
She looked at Lu Erya's current appearance, her heart filled with desire.
But those waves couldn't find an outlet and were almost suffocating themselves.
The Queen Bee hurriedly left a message: "The time for the connection is coming. Tomorrow your team members will leave, and I will wake up. Come and see me."
Then it disappeared.
As she left, the feeling of being stared at from all directions came back.
Lu Erya snorted coldly and laughed twice, quite satisfied with her performance.
After a while, the loneliness and regret in my heart emerged again.
She couldn't help but raise her arms to cover her eyes, letting the tears fall drop by drop and slide into the cochlea.
"Rose...I'm sorry..."
^
The next day, just as the sun was rising and the dew was still heavy, a team of human-like bees, fully equipped for battle, left the nest at dawn.
Just like when they came, the captured women once again took the scale powder that had a sleeping effect, forgot everything, and fell asleep on the backs of the human-shaped bees.
Because Lu Erya did not trust the humanoid bee swarm, she strongly demanded that if they were to be allowed to leave, she must see it with her own eyes.
So Cui had to take her along on the outing.
However, compared to other humans, Lu Erya does not need to smell the scale powder to fall asleep, she can remain conscious.
All the human-like bees knew that she was the human chosen by the queen bee and was the future princess.
Maybe one day I can be promoted to the rank of queen and manage the humanoid bee colony together with the queen.
Therefore, there was nothing to hide from her about the hive's route out.
Lu Erya rode on Cui's back, held steady by her four hands, so she didn't have to worry about falling.
She stretched her neck to look for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you flying so high? I don't think the tree trunks below are crowded, so it won't be a problem for you to fly below."
The higher you fly, the more energy you need to expend. Humanoid bee swarms have always been about efficiency.
This is obviously not a good choice.
This is the area of responsibility of the fighting worker bees. Cui has rarely left the nest, so she is actually not very clear about it.
But Lu Erya wanted to know, so she asked everyone in the hive consciousness.
After a moment, she replied, "That's to avoid tree roots. The trees here are very evolved and dangerous."
Lu Erya's interest piqued upon hearing this. "Evolved plants are rare. Most of the fights I've led before were against animals anyway."
Cui happened to get some more information from the hive consciousness.
"Those trees can't communicate even after they evolve, so they start wars every once in a while, which is really bad.
The worker bees said that they are just like the out-of-control evolutionary species, they will hurt people and devour animal evolutionary species."
I remembered the primary task of this trip.
Lu Erya raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there any pattern in the movement of those trees?"
Cui opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
But some worker bees thought she had said enough and would be angry and offended if she revealed any more information.
So she thought for a moment and evaded the question, "The Queen knows everything. If you're curious, you can ask her. You two have an appointment to meet today, right?"
Lu Erya was silent for a while, all her interest was extinguished like a bucket of cold water.
"It's just a meeting, not a date."
