The slim and tall figure with green eyes stared at the future Zerg king, who seemed unreliable. After a while, he turned around and silently left.
The Zergs had all left, leaving the little child sitting on a cushion feeling a lot less pressure. He touched his head, a bit puzzled, “Lele, what does the name ‘Para’ mean?”
Lele remained silent for a moment and finally answered to Dad Ningning, “Para, Para means strong, good at giving birth to offspring.”
The name was given by the Zerg to imply that he would be capable of producing many offspring.
Lele, who was called Para, thought about the name and couldn’t help but cry out, “Dad, Lele doesn’t want to give birth to bugs.”
The little child holding Lele was also shocked by the name.
He thought about it from another perspective. If his dad had given him the name “Jian Shengzai” instead of Jian Ning, he would definitely not be able to lift his head in kindergarten!
(T/N: Shengzai (生崽) contains “生,” which means “to give birth” or “born,” and “å´½” is a colloquial term often used to refer to young animals or offspring. So in this context, “简生崽” could be humorously translated as “Jian Giving-Birth-To.”)
“Hiss—”
Imagining the scene of the teacher calling out the name every day, the little child took in a sharp breath. “So scary.”
Even among the Zerg race, Lele’s name was probably something to be embarrassed about.
“Lele, don’t be afraid.”
The little child hugged Lele tightly and promised him solemnly, “I will definitely not let you stay here to give birth to offspring.”
Just when the two little children were trapped, Wagner and Savi, who took a risk, unexpectedly managed to sneak into the spaceship.
What’s even luckier was that the Zerg queen in the spaceship, for some reason, suddenly left the spaceship.
If Wagner and Savi could understand the Zerg language, they would probably hear that the queen’s departure was to meet the Zerg king.
The two little children who couldn’t understand the Zerg language quickly found the communication devices.
They tried several communication devices, and finally, the last one they tried worked.
Wagner had rehearsed the process of sending signals from the spaceship’s device before he and Savi arrived, so he immediately started contacting people.
He couldn’t remember Ludwig and Caesar’s numbers, but he could remember Zhan Xi’s!
Soon, he was able to contact Zhan Xi.
“Uncle Zhan Xi, we’re trapped here, and there are a lot of Zergs. Now, Ningning and Lele are missing after being discovered by the Zergs. Hurry up and come find us.”
Wagner spoke in a long string of words, without pausing, and finished everything in one breath.
After he finished speaking, before even hearing Zhan Xi’s response, there was an unusual commotion on the spaceship.
Without hesitation, Wagner immediately ended the communication and hid with Savi.
Zhan Xi, whose communication was cut off, had red eyes. “Xiao Lin, quickly locate this signal!!!”
“Located, less than 100 kilometers from us.”
They were very close to the signal source, and even without this communication, they would quickly search there.
However, their search time would definitely be delayed until later in the night.
With the accurate location now, Huo Lin did not delay. He steadied his breath, turned his head, and ordered everyone to move forward with full force.
The spaceship’s speed was terrifying; if it were on a road with interstellar traffic control, it would undoubtedly be fined.
But fortunately, this place was remote enough, and even if they were speeding, no one would issue a fine.
Zhan Xi and Huo Lin were anxious. In Wagner’s communication just now, it was mentioned that the child was missing after being discovered by the Zergs.
The implication was that their Ningning was likely captured.
“Uncle Zhan, Father has sent a large army. We will definitely be able to rescue Ningning when we arrive.”
“No, we are not familiar with this ancient Earth site.”
Zhan Xi was still studying this ancient Earth site. “Although the era of ancient Earth has passed, many things from that time are beyond our ability to replicate in the interstellar era. The Zerg race here may be completely different from what we understand.”
They had not studied or understood much about this Zerg race living on the ancient Earth site.
They couldn’t even figure out what this Zerg race would do after capturing human children.
In contrast to Zhan Xi’s chaotic thoughts, the little child, still with Lele, had a growling stomach.
“Lele, they said you will be the future Zerg King. Did they feed you?”
Since they wanted Lele to be their king, they should provide him with food.
But unexpectedly, Lele shook his head and lifted his clothes to show Dad Ningning, saying, “Lele has no food; they don’t give Lele any food.”
Little child: “?”
Little child feeling resentful: “They treat their king so badly, no wonder they still don’t have a king till now!”
The treatment of the king of the Zerg race was too low. Lele, being the king here, was not as good as going back to kindergarten with him.
His dad said, in the future, he would get him a stable job, so he would have a secure future.
“Lele, when we go back, study hard. When you grow up, you can become a civil servant.”
“Okay.”
Lele softly agreed. He liked listening to Dad Ningning describing his future.
The future that Dad Ningning talked about was something he never dared to think of.
The two children endured hunger for a while again. During this time, a very, very huge Zerg crawled in.
The giant Zerg wanted to communicate with Lele, but Lele buried his face in Dad Ningning’s arms, refusing to talk to the Zerg.
Finally, the big Zerg crawled away, out of sight. The little child, seeing the Zerg leave, patted Lele’s back, indicating that Lele could get up.
“Lele, we need to find something to eat.”
The Zerg race was too stingy; they didn’t even provide the king a meal. They had to fend for themselves.
Just as the two children were planning to escape to find food, two Zergs crawled in.
The two Zergs that crawled in were not targeting Lele, but Ningning.
Their mouths were salivating, obviously coveting this human child.
Ningning didn’t understand the Zerg language, but Lele seemed to understand.
He quietly translated to Dad Ningning, “They say Barry released all the human cocoons and forbids them from eating. They are cursing Barry.”
“They, they... are also cursing me.”
“Dad, they also want to eat you.”
When Lele translated the last sentence, there was a hint of panic in his eyes. “Dad, should we run away?”
The little child, who hadn’t had a full meal for several days, was so hungry that his eyes had turned green. In the morning, he had been poisoned by toxic mushrooms and had vomited once.
He didn’t have much in his stomach to begin with, and after vomiting, there was even less.
Now, looking at the Zergs about to eat him, the little child, so hungry that his eyes had turned green, also was drooling a bit.
These two Zergs weren’t very big. If they strung them up and roast them over the fire, they would probably have enough to eat for a while!
“Lele, try to find out where the cocooned humans are. Let’s go see if our teacher and the other kids are still alive.”
Once they find out about the other kids and the teachers, they could enjoy their roasted bugs!
