"Grandma Insect?" Zhao Chen asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, this is Granny Insect's place." Perhaps because of the candy from earlier, the little insect girl was no longer so afraid of Zhao Chen.
Could this T6 Zerg Hive Mothership be the "Zerg Granny" that the little Zerg girl was talking about?
Zhao Chen considered this possibility.
"However... Granny Insect has already left to protect Little Insect," Little Insect Girl said dejectedly, her head bowed.
"You know... this ship... your Granny Insect is no longer here?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.
The little insect girl nodded, her hand touching the ground: "Grandma Insect still has a little bit of life force, but we can no longer communicate with her."
The last thing Grandma Insect told me was... to let Little Insect sleep well.
"A good night's sleep will do the trick."
Zhao Chen frowned and asked, "How long...did you sleep?"
The little insect girl shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know what happened after I fell asleep."
Until you awaken me now.
She paused at this point.
She looked at Zhao Chen and A Yin cautiously: "You really don't eat insects?"
Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh: "You haven't taken a bath in ten years, you're all dirty, who would eat you?"
"And do you like that candy from earlier?"
"The candy is indeed delicious." The little insect girl nodded seriously, then whispered, "The little insect isn't dirty, Mommy and Grandma Insect said so."
The smallest insects smell the best.
"Why can you speak our language?" Zhao Chen asked.
The little insect girl in front of me is probably really related to the insect race.
So why is she able to communicate with herself?
"Language?" The little insect girl tilted her head and said in confusion, "I don't know what language is. I'm just imitating you."
"You... can imitate... various languages?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.
The little insect girl had a question mark on her face.
Ah Yin spoke up at this moment, but the language she used was one that Zhao Chen had never heard before.
Then, the little insect girl used the same language.
After several exchanges that Zhao Chen couldn't understand.
Ah Yin said, "She has a mental ability that allows her to directly mimic all languages. As long as we say a sentence, she can completely understand it and communicate with the other person."
A versatile translator?
Zhao Chen carefully examined the little insect girl: "Your name is Little Insect?"
The little insect shook its head, then nodded and said, "My name is Insect Princess, but my mother and Grandma Insect both call me Little Insect."
Insect Princess.
So the Zerg have names too.
Do you know why you're here?
Who attacked you?
"Do you know what happened here?" Zhao Chen asked.
A sad expression appeared on the little insect girl's face. She curled up her legs, hugged her knees, and whispered, "Bad people have broken into the little insect's home."
They killed their uncles, aunts, and other relatives... and even kidnapped them.
My mother led us away from our home and we wandered the streets together.
But... nowhere welcomes us.
When people see us... they drive us away... and beat us...
Later, those bad guys caught up with us again.
Mom... Mom fought them to cover my retreat, Granny Insect's retreat, and everyone else's retreat.
We got separated from our mother after that and never saw her again.
Mushihime lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
She continued, sobbing, "Later, I don't know how long I escaped with Granny Insect and the others. I spent most of the time in hibernation along the way."
It wasn't until my last time accompanying her that Granny Insect woke me up.
There's fighting outside again; those bad guys have found us again and are bullying us.
The little insects are very afraid.
The little insect wants to go home...
Grandma Insect told the little insect that they would protect it and let it sleep a little longer until it woke up next time.
Some people will bring small insects home.
After that... the little bug fell asleep.
"Are you... here to take Little Bug home?"
The little insect raised its head, its bright eyes gazing at Zhao Chen and Ah Yin.
Hearing this story.
Zhao Chen was dumbfounded. The Zerg in this story were completely different from the Zerg he knew!
Zerg shouldn't all be tyrannical and bloodthirsty.
Why do they seem so weak?
Faced with the final question from the Insect Princess, Zhao Chen was speechless.
He didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Chen could only change the subject: "Does that little insect know how long you've been away from your home?"
"I don't remember."
"It's been so long, so very long." Insect Princess shook her head.
They have no concept of time.
They had no idea how long ago the events that the Insect Princess had just recounted occurred.
Even when this war took place here is unknown.
The only way to determine when this war took place is to investigate the traces on the wreckage of those Zerg motherships.
Zhao Chen stood up, scratched his head helplessly, and looked at Ah Yin next to him: "What should we do next?"
"Your master asked us to find...this is it?"
Zhao Chen pointed to the Insect Princess on the ground.
What threat could such a tiny insect girl pose?
Let alone Zhao Chen, even Annie could probably bully her here.
And the leader of that machine race actually sent me here specifically to find him.
I completely fail to understand the purpose behind it.
"The master only told me to search, but didn't say what to do once I found it." Ah Yin's answer was somewhat rigid at this point.
Zhao Chen covered his head.
Well, I've just created trouble for myself.
Zhao Chen turned around and walked outside.
Ah Yin glanced at Zhao Chen, then at the bewildered Insect Princess on the ground.
Then he caught up with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen walked outside the 'flower bud'.
"Commander." The Leopard Woman was waiting outside. When she saw Zhao Chen come out, she immediately felt relieved.
Zhao Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He gritted his teeth and slapped himself: "You're such a busybody."
After saying that, Zhao Chen turned around and walked into the 'flower bud'.
Leopard Woman and her group were left outside, completely bewildered.
On the contrary, a smile appeared on Ah Yin's face.
A few minutes later.
The leopard woman and the others witnessed a shocking scene.
The commander walked out carrying a small child in one arm.
The little guy looked a bit like a little girl, but he had a strange brown shell.
Seeing so many people outside, the little girl immediately shrank back in fear and pressed herself even closer to Zhao Chen.
Although this insect princess is an insect race, she doesn't have any foul odor.
"Don't be afraid, they are my people."
If you come with me, I will protect you.
"If you don't want to, you can stay here," Zhao Chen said coldly.
The little girl lowered her eyes and looked at the 'flower bud' behind her, the place where she had been dormant for countless years.
She said softly, "Little Bug... doesn't want to be alone... Little Bug will go with you..."
Upon hearing the Insect Princess's reply, Zhao Chen gave orders to the team.
return.
Walking along the corridor, Insect Princess waved to the flower buds that were gradually receding into the distance behind her: "Grandma Insect, bye-bye."
