Chapter 197 Return
After checking among the female soldiers, it was found that those female insects that behaved abnormally from usual were at most becoming more disgusted with male insects.
And gradually the phenomenon of insect transmission appeared.
The females appear to be less tolerant of males.
Originally, the male insects naturally ordered the remaining female insects to do this and that for them, and no female insects objected.
After all, it has always been like this. It seems natural for female insects to do things for male insects, but even if they have done their job, they will not get a thank you from the male insects.
But now, more and more insects are only willing to do their own job.
They turn a blind eye to the male insects' demands and passively resist work.
Since the equipment here cannot guarantee that all insects can lead a mechanized life and insect artificial intelligence is not very developed, many things that can usually be solved by machines can only be done by insects.
Things like washing clothes and taking a bath all require Chong to do it himself, and he even has to hide next to the switch to turn on the lights in the corners of some rooms.
For those male insects who have robot insects at home, or female insects if they don’t have robot insects, on the one hand they can’t do it, and on the other hand they wonder “Why should I do it?”
They would just lie on the ground and yell, or knock on the doors of the female insects next door, not letting them rest and threatening them to work.
Therefore, not only are they unwilling to complete their part of the work, they also make things difficult for and threaten the female insects who are unwilling to help them. The hot-tempered female insects feel resentful, and although they don't show it, even the best-tempered female insects will feel a little unhappy about the long-term and righteous exploitation of these strange male insects.
The water was drawn from nearby lakes and brought back bucket by bucket.
Each insect washes its own clothes. Sometimes the male insects cannot wash the clothes thoroughly. After washing, they just hang them aside, and the clothes are still dripping with water.
It didn't dry after hanging for a long time, so I couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with the weather or the indoor temperature.
Now they even had to go out and look for food by themselves. It was freezing and snowy outside, and apart from the occasional fleeting star beasts, there was nothing to eat.
The star beast is outside and is very familiar with the environment here, so it is not easy to catch it. Even if you are lucky, you cannot eat it directly after catching it. You need to go through a series of complicated processes.
How can the pampered male insects bear this?
They would rather just lie there and enjoy their lives peacefully, but this unexpected disaster has forced them to get up from their comfortable bed.
Although they do not participate in thinking or finding solutions, it does not prevent them from feeling anxious and afraid.
Limp and Xie Si breathed a sigh of relief.
At least these emotionally stable female insects did not become too abnormal, otherwise the remaining male insects would be in trouble.
He has no ability to resist and no good eyesight, yet he thinks he is the boss and is extremely arrogant.
Xie Si arranged for special female insects to teach these male insects how to take care of their own food and daily life, and told them some basic life knowledge so that they could survive on this island.
In any case, the female soldiers have no obligation to take care of the male insects' food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it makes no sense for them to do things for them just because they look at their faces.
On the other side, Heras landed and returned to the main planet.
After getting a rough understanding of the situation, they met with the Insect Emperor in the palace. The Insect Emperor was still the same, indifferent and did not express anything, as if he knew nothing about their experience.
He turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He did not look like a captured Insect Emperor, but rather like an old cadre who had retired normally. He was full of self-righteousness and calmness.
When talking to Heras, he smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, without any sense of being a prisoner. He even asked to change the mattress for his master.
After confirming that nothing serious had happened, Heras immediately drove the aircraft to take over the next trip. Limp remained on the island. Although he said he was relieved on the surface, he was actually very worried in his heart.
Maybe this is the difference between being close and not being close.
If it were another strange insect, he would also try his best to chase it back, but as long as he fulfilled his responsibilities, he would have a clear conscience.
But if it was Limp... no matter how hard he tried to rush back, if something happened to Limp, he would never forgive himself.
Xie Si is still on the island because of work.
Eastman Lai refused to leave the aircraft and wanted to go back to see if Xie Si was safe. After explaining the pros and cons to him, he still refused to listen.
In desperation, he was brought back.
After a thorough inspection, the aircraft took off again after being confirmed to be correct. Heras increased the speed of the aircraft to the maximum, and couldn't wait to go back and see if anything would happen.
The vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart made him walk back and forth on the aircraft, pacing non-stop in an attempt to calm himself down.
Things were going somewhat smoothly, which made him even more uneasy.
When something goes smoothly, it means that either it is going very smoothly or there is a huge flaw somewhere unknown that has not been discovered.
The second possibility is the most terrifying.
When they flew back, Heras and the other female soldiers were surprised to find that there was nothing where the island had originally been.
It turned into a vast ocean with azure waves all over the place, and the original land had disappeared from the radar scanning range.
"What's going on?"
Heras's face turned pale for a moment, but he realized the next second that it was possible that some device on the island had turned on the shielding device, preventing them from checking with instruments.
"The island should be safe now. Let's land."
Worrying leads to confusion, so without thinking, Heras let the aircraft go down and approached along the route in his memory.
But soon, several aircraft collided with unidentified objects and began to burn violently, making a crackling sound.
After the wiring in this part of the aircraft was quickly burned out, the aircraft lost control and reported various errors.
The female insect above immediately escaped from the aircraft and approached with its wings flapping. When it was within visible distance to the naked eye, it discovered that the island was still there and the pattern was unchanged.
There are bugs on it, and a device that blocks signal detection has been turned on on the island.
Heras instructed the remaining aircraft to stop on a farther reef and let the female insect fly over.
This was an oolong and was quickly addressed and handled properly.
But this situation is not a good sign.
With the aircraft destroyed, they could only take away a smaller number of insects, and this batch of insects determined how many were left in the final batch.
