Chapter 146: Ghosts of the Wrathful
Maine was tied up for a long time, and finally a worm was kind enough to let him down. The first thing he did after being let down was to slap the worm that helped him.
"You've just come now, what have you been doing before? Are you being asked to show your loyalty now?"
His anger was mixed with uncontrollable panic, and he directed all his anger and fear at the insect that had come to his rescue.
To cover up his guilty conscience and to save the face he had just lost.
Xia is still alive.
The panic of being deliberately ignored filled my heart.
Why do the insects around him look at him like that? Isn't it just a lesson for a powerless insect?
They are becoming more and more lawless.
"I know I was wrong, Patriarch."
The beaten female insect covered her face and took a half step back. The grievance and fear in her eyes made Mayne regain some sense. He snorted coldly: "It's good that you know you are wrong. I am not a bug that blames bugs."
"Thank you, Chief."
As the female insect spoke in a humble manner, things seemed to be back on track, as if nothing had happened. As for the communication documents with the Insect Emperor, they were just previous records.
There's no use in taking it. You can't be trying to find some leverage in it to damage the status of the Merlis family in the eyes of the Insect Emperor, right?
Maine gradually calmed down.
——
After Xia finished reading the series of words in the record, he went to the palace. He was not discovered by the bugs, nor was he driven out.
He dug up the corpses of female insects in the back garden of the palace. Each one was very fresh and looked like it had been tortured by insects. The number of corpses was still unclear because he did not dig them up completely, but the preliminary estimate was that there were no less than a hundred.
You know, this is not a battlefield, but the safest palace.
The number and strength of the palace's garrisons are among the best in the entire star system, and it is also equipped with a variety of weapons representing the highest technology.
Xia looked at it for a long time, and finally took out a computer to collect evidence, took pictures, and sent them to Lim Pu.
[This is the scene in the backyard of the imperial palace. Take a look and see if it is useful to you? ]
How could this not be useful?
The direction of public opinion is changing rapidly nowadays. Both sides will not let go of any evidence that can bring disgrace upon the other party.
After all, these all affect the morale of the military and the support of the people, and affect the final outcome.
Limp touched the cold quilt beside him, looking melancholy like a resentful man. After looking at the insects that were covering the soil, he cheered up again.
At least what he was doing now was meaningful, and so was Heras.
They are heading towards a better future.
He replied "OK" to Xia and deleted and revised the words on the screen with his fingertips, wanting to tell Xia how important this was to him. However, he inexplicably felt that Xia must know this.
Limp climbed out of bed slowly, wearing a pair of animal-skin slippers, and walked to the window.
It's very quiet outside.
There was no sense of war breaking out.
The weather is fine and it's a good day to go out.
But when Limp lowered his head, he could see the chains on his ankles clanking.
Heras did it for his safety. After all, it wasn't the first time he ran away.
This doesn't prevent him from trying to escape now.
God has pity on him. He loves Heras very much, but he wants to go out and see, to participate in person. Although it is also pleasant to wait for Heras to come back every day and tell him the news, he always feels that he is missing something.
There are always some unnecessary worries occupying his mind.
Just like a fly.
In the end, Limp could only suppress his emotions, turn his sadness into motivation, edit the news, and reveal the secrets in the Insect Emperor's Palace.
The veiled tone made Chong want to explore more than the gossip told by the second aunt at the village entrance.
"What are you doing?"
There were footsteps, and light slid in through the crack in the door. A tall figure quickly came into view, and his silver hair seemed to be glowing.
"Heras, I want to go out and play."
Limp spoke in a muffled tone, expressing his thoughts vaguely, very tactfully and cleverly, but he was already feeling domineering in his heart.
[If you don't agree, I will not let you go out tomorrow! ]
The mP4 that was transmitted along the way let Heras know that the male insect was not thinking about any serious matters at all.
I'm afraid she's been feeling depressed inside the house these past few days and has started thinking about how to get revenge on him, or maybe she's just simply thinking about it.
Heras kissed his cheek and coaxed him gently, "Wait a few more days."
He did not hide what happened on the battlefield from Limp.
There was no need to hide it. The two sides were evenly matched because the Insect Emperor did not send out a large-scale army to crush them. It seemed that he only wanted to use this war of attrition to tire them out.
"So I have to be locked up here for who knows how many days? Heras, I want to go out and fight alongside you!"
"No, you have to guard the rear for me."
Limp bit Heras' neck in dissatisfaction, leaving a neat row of teeth marks.
[Vampire-like tooth marks! ]
Limp looked at the red shallow marks and Heras who showed no intention of dodging, and felt a little angry and depressed.
Not only was he reluctant to bite, but Heras also looked like he was sure to eat him!
That's an aorta, how could he not be on guard at all? What if he accidentally bites it?
Limp groaned and reached out to touch the skin, looking away to avoid being tempted: "You bully me."
Heras lay on his back on the bed, completely in Limp's field of vision, and put his arms around Limp's neck.
Pull it down.
The possessiveness in his eyes was undisguised.
"You are the one being bullied."
The female soldier never shy away from doing this. Since the male master wants him to stay indoors...
The sound of Heras's breathing gradually became heavier in Limp's ears.
Don't dodge or evade, and stick to it until death.
Until his consciousness became blurred and sleepiness invaded his brain, Heras asked in a hoarse and untuned voice in Limp's ear: "Will we have worm cubs in the future? I want them."
I was buried in the sea of suffering of survival before and never thought about it.
But in the future, everything he wants will be achieved by himself.
Limp checked his conscience. The easy money was good but the legs were short. He still needed to have his own side business to support his wife and children. "Wait another two years. It's still early now."
Heras wiped himself and fell into a deep sleep without hearing what he said.
In the end, Limp carried him to the bathroom to wash.
The fully automatic bathing device made him feel a little regretful.
Horas slept too soundly, so Lincent had to deal with the battle the next day.
Yes, payable.
The entire press conference scene.
"Excuse me, do you know where the insects that His Majesty the Insect Emperor released went?"
"Is there any worm coming to Colonel Heras?"
"Excuse me..."
The bugs that should have been killed together were already chatting animatedly.
Lin Sente also saw the seemingly plausible news. Based on his understanding of the Insect Emperor, he believed that the news was 90% true.
The transmission speed of the Star Network is self-evident, but the ability to be transmitted mainly depends on Limp's veiled method and his tone that makes Chong imagine things. Otherwise, it is estimated that it would not even pass the review.
"If it's true, what are you going to do?"
If the Insect Emperor really killed the hundreds of female insects that left last time, it would be his own destruction.
As long as he was discovered by the bugs, he would fall from his already shaky throne and be crushed to pieces.
The truth cannot be hidden.
