Chapter 88 Hatching: Smooth sailing.
Lu Erya looked in the direction and noticed that all the bee pupae in the room were in a state of complete sleep.
The little girls seemed to be sleeping peacefully inside, as if they were extremely sleepy and in a deep sleep.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that the antennae on their foreheads are trembling, the membranous wings behind them are unfolding little by little, and the stinger on the yellow and black bee tail has also grown from a small point to a sharper one.
Once the bee pupa, which functions similarly to an artificial uterus, is broken open, a lot of sticky, wet liquid will inevitably flow out.
If all nine bee pupae hatch at the same time, the mother nest will be useless!
Lu Erya's eyes swept over the wooden tables and chairs, wooden floors, and wool carpets that Wei had carefully collected and prepared, and she felt something was wrong.
Living in the southern forests, these are rare and precious resources. If they are soaked in the amniotic fluid in the bee pupae, they will probably all be spoiled.
All the joy vanished as she jumped to her feet and said nervously, "Hurry up and call the worker bees in! It's time to move the babies back to the nursery!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. As if while she was thinking about this, Wei also notified the worker bees responsible for taking care of the children.
Even though the worker bees moved so quickly, some of the pupae still broke open along the way.
The stinger pierced the elastic shell of the bee pupa, and the amniotic fluid inside dripped out in a path.
The current situation was so urgent that Lu Erya couldn't even recognize which bee pupa it was.
She approached Wei nervously and asked, "Is the age of a worker bee calculated from the time the egg is laid or the time it hatches?"
Wei was amused by her success. After a moment's thought, she replied, "From the moment she officially hatches, you should remember this well. Now she is our eldest daughter."
The three words "eldest daughter" materialized and fell on Lu Erya's head, catching her off guard.
She was not sure that Wei was Feng Qiang before, so she acted like a heartless scumbag, just patted her butt and left after having sex.
He firmly believes that no matter how many bee pupae are born, it has nothing to do with him, and he has no intention of recognizing the queen bee's children.
But now that he knew Wei and Feng Qiang were the same person, the child he had with his lover was naturally his own...
Lu Erya felt her breathing become heavy, her scalp was numb, and a thin layer of sticky sweat oozed out of her back.
Overnight, she really became the biological mother of nine girls...
Moreover, it is impossible for Wei to give birth to bee pupae only once. This number will only increase and not decrease.
If you add in the hundreds of worker bees Wei gave birth to before, then she has hundreds of stepdaughters...
Including Cui, who has a good relationship with her, they are all her daughters in name only.
Lu Erya suddenly felt that the fact that Xinxue had transformed from a wandering man outside the base to the city lord in charge of an entire base in just a few months was not as exaggerated as it seemed before.
At least they only have two daughters, unlike me...
If you meet one daughter every day, it will take several years before you meet the other daughter again.
This is also the case if you have fewer children after Wei.
Wei's voice brought her back from her suffocating fantasy: "The eldest's amniotic fluid has run out, and the baby will be born soon!"
Lu Erya immediately glanced over. In order to prevent the newborn from being exposed to the outside environment so quickly, the worker bees taking care of her quickly sealed the beehive with beeswax.
So they could only explore what was inside through the translucent beeswax.
But it's not really clear this way.
Lu Erya thought about it and tried to immerse herself in the hive consciousness, but was disappointed to find that she could only see the worker bees in the nursery and Wei's situation.
Now the little girls have not received systematic training and cannot enter the hive consciousness, so no matter how you look at it, you cannot see their current situation.
Lu Erya was a little skeptical. She focused her attention and activated her special ability to describe the surrounding environment.
This time it worked!
After the amniotic fluid was drained, the bee pupa turned into an elastic film and stuck to the waking little girl.
The thing seemed to have solidified into a layer of crisp substance, and as the girl struggled, it broke into pieces bit by bit.
The worker bees nearby were seriously picking up all the pieces of bee pupae that had fallen on the ground, not even leaving out some scraps the size of a fingernail.
I think this should be something very important.
Thinking that Wei probably couldn't see the scenery over there, Lu Erya held her hand and shared what was happening in front of her.
The latter showed a look of surprise when he saw these images that did not exist in the hive consciousness.
But then a smile flashed in his eyes, and he put his fingers through Lu Erya's fingers and held her fingers together.
This is not surprising.
Wei has a blind trust in Lu Erya.
With her special ability, she can see the mutant trees and the evolved species hiding in the dark and still lingering in the southern forest on the battlefield.
Of course, she could also see the small bee pupae separated from her by a wall.
It didn't take long for the bee pupae to break out of their cocoons and become adults, but more than two hours passed before all nine bee pupae broke through their shells, spread their membranous wings, and extended their antennae.
Lu Erya's palms were a little sweaty, but she was reluctant to let go no matter what.
I’m afraid that if I close my eyes, all the beautiful things will become illusions.
…
After nine bee pupae hatched one after another, Lu Erya's life became increasingly busy.
When they were still in the bee chrysalis, the little worker bees liked to attract her and Wei's attention.
But at that time, I was trapped by the amniotic fluid and the bee pupa shell, and my range of movement was very limited. The most I could do was to wiggle and squeeze on the bed.
After the shell breaks out, the situation is completely different.
They have legs to walk, wings to fly, and can take care of themselves from birth.
The worker bees who are responsible for taking care of and teaching them may lose sight of the little worker bees if they are not careful.
The cubs that couldn't be found were all spawned at the mother nest or on the way to the mother nest...
Lu Erya was quite troubled by this.
The skills mastered by the worker bees are passed down from generation to generation, but the daughters are always thinking about skipping classes and are not learning any knowledge seriously.
Fortunately, there is no need to take an assessment to be a worker bee, otherwise, she feels that her nine daughters would all be at the bottom of the class.
Ever since Feng Qiang awakened his special powers, he has been the most promising young generation in the Hope Base.
If she hadn't been so wild and always done outrageous things, the city lord would have even wanted to abandon the bloodline inheritance system and promote her to the city lord's heir.
If Lu Cai hadn't emerged later, maybe this would have really happened.
Although I had never awakened my special abilities when I lived in human society, no one could compare to her in terms of training effort and understanding.
Lu Erya couldn't understand why the offspring of a genius student and a test-taker were so half-baked and only wanted to skip classes to look for their mother!
Hearing the strange sound, Lu Erya pushed open the door and saw the little girl's smiling face. She was speechless.
This is the nth time I’ve caught this little worker bee stealthily using its fingers to pick at things.
Lu Erya pinched her brows, took her daughter's hand, and pulled her into the mother's nest.
She turned to look at her girlfriend, who was bent over her desk, using pen and paper to organize the information relayed by the worker bees in her head. "Wei, can I learn the lessons you worker bees teach? If the kids really don't want to learn from the other worker bees, then I, as their mother, should do it myself."
Wei looked a little distressed when she heard this: "We can't be sure what positions they will be suitable for in the future, so we have to study all the courses, and then choose a direction when we grow up and then subdivide it.
If you were to learn it yourself, it would take too much energy."
Lu Erya had expected this.
She pinched her brows and smiled helplessly: "The children love to skip classes too much, I have to teach them so that they can study with peace of mind.
I don't want their future to be affected by blood ties, so I want to give it a try first. If it doesn't work, I still have Cui to help."
When Wei thought that Lu Erya’s time would be taken away again, her eyes flickered with some dissatisfaction.
But she also knew it was all for the good of the hive.
Lu Erya was determined to teach this group of little worker bees well.
As the queen bee, she was the direct beneficiary and had no reason to refuse.
Wei had no choice but to suppress her emotions and change the subject, "Cui seems to have successfully evolved. This batch of bee pupae is of very high quality, which has greatly improved the effectiveness of the slurry pool."
"That's great!" Lu Erya thought of the bee pupa fragments that the worker bees had carefully collected, and realized that they were the materials for upgrading the pulp pool.
"But her evolutionary direction is a little strange." Wei lowered her eyes. "She's currently different from other worker bees. We suspect she's a new species."
Evolution is a good thing, but the unknown direction of evolution is somewhat worrying for everyone.
Especially when the humanoid bee colony suffered two evolutionary losses, one when bad bees appeared within the colony, and the other when its home was almost stolen by a mutant tree.
Lu Erya knew what Wei was worried about.
She comforted him softly, "It's okay. Let's pay more attention to Wei's movements this time. If there are any bad signs, we will deal with them in time."
^
In order to make the children stand up, Lu Erya worked late into the night, trying to catch up with the average worker bee with her human body.
The Free Base Exploration Team led by Ashu was also on the road to the southern forest.
Although they are a team, only she and Lu Lin can maintain their human form.
The rest of the team members are all evolved species!
The evolved species that maintain their original ecology are the most suitable scouts when going out.
Those evolved natives in unfamiliar environments are naturally hostile to humans.
But when a giant rat, a sika deer, or a hare passes by thoughtfully, they don't notice anything unusual at all.
The journey was smooth.
It also highlights how miserable the guards looked when they were tortured by mutant trees, out-of-control evolved species, and the occasional miasma when they returned to the city.
It was the first time Lu Lin was completely relaxed after living in the wild for so long.
Most of the evolved species that have lived in the wild all year round have the ability to foresee danger, and many of them have a stronger foreseeing ability than her.
So, whenever there was an emergency, she would sound the alarm before she felt unwell.
The evolved species rushed forward with their hooves and claws, and quickly resolved the trouble.
If there is something that cannot be solved, rush over to report to Ashu.
No matter what difficulties there are, they are all paper tigers in front of the Python King who has absolute combat power.
Ah Shu didn't even need to transform into his original form. He could kill many powerful out-of-control evolved species with just the long sword at his waist.
This long sword was specially forged for Xinxue by someone. She experimented by carving lines on the sword that imitated the lines of evolution. After being soaked in fresh blood, the sharpness and toughness of the long sword will be improved to a higher level!
Even if everything went smoothly along the way, the closer they got to the southern forest, the more nervous the whole team became.
After wiping the blood off his long sword once again, Ah Shu looked towards the south, frowning slightly. "The closer we get to the southern forest, the more uncontrolled evolutionary species there are..."
