Perhaps not expecting the other party to understand the Zerg tribe language, Barry switched to the Imperial language to communicate with the other person.
Raphael: “...”
The language of our Sixth Planet is quite popular too!
The King of the Sixth Planet, ultimately, had to use the Imperial language to communicate with the Zergs, which was a bit humiliating.
The negotiations between the two sides lasted for two hours, during which Barry did not respond to any of Raphael’s questions about their Zerg tribe.
He didn’t want his tribe to be scrutinized by humans of this era.
Raphael didn’t get more information, but seeing that the other party was willing to return the human captives, he felt the result was acceptable.
After a while.
They drafted a contract, and Barry pointed out and changed every word trap Raphael had initially set on the contract.
Seeing this, Raphael became even more curious about Barry, this Zerg.
Barry wasn’t greedy, and it was precisely this lack of greed that made Raphael feel that he was fundamentally different from the other Zergs outside.
After finalizing the contract, it was already three and a half hours later.
Barry returned all the cocoons and gave them a bottle of mucus. Sprinkling the mucus on the cocoon could soften it.
Raphael personally tore open one cocoon after another.
After about ten minutes, he expressionlessly called Barry, “Give me back my child. My child is not in here.”
Barry: “...”
Barry frowned.
His human-like face was still decent, and the frowning expression had a certain charm. After thinking for a moment, he spoke, “Please wait.”
“The child you’re looking for is in hiding; we will immediately go search for him.”
Barry was now focused on sending the humans outside away, so he couldn’t let the human child continue playing hide and seek on his territory.
He ordered all the Zergs to invade the nest and search for the human child.
Countless Zergs crawled out. If they had had this scale earlier, the four children that had escaped might have been captured already.
The child’s hiding skills were impressive. He found a hole, dug a bit more, then sat in the hole with joy, covering it with wood and grass.
Not long after.
Wagner, still with a fever, and Savi were found by the Zergs.
The two children were handed over to the humans.
Zhan Xi, looking at the two children, wiped their faces with a wet towel, his expression grim. “It’s Wagner.”
There was also a child he didn’t recognize.
His precious child was still not returned by the Zerg tribe.
Barry, seeing that these two were not the child they were referring to, immediately confirmed who they were looking for.
It was the child next to their Little Zerg King.
This child was indeed good at hiding. Several times, he and the Little Zerg King hid so well that they couldn’t be found.
“Please wait a moment.”
Barry left these words and continued searching for the child.
This time it took a full three hours before the Zerg discovered the pit where the child was hiding.
Barry lifted the wooden board, lowered his gaze, and saw a blackened child in the pit, biting into Zerg meat, lifting his head and making eye contact.
A big and a small one locked eyes, and the little child hiccuped in fear.
Barry looked at the meat strands hanging from his mouth and the roasted Zerg meat beside him. His eyes darkened.
The little child only glanced at him once, then picked up Lele and crawled to the right.
There was another hole to the right!
Barry’s eyelids twitched; he didn’t hesitate, jumped down, and grabbed the little blackened child who was about to escape into the hole.
In his left hand, a blackened cub; in his right hand, a little Zerg king.
Barry looked at the two children, handed the little Zerg king to another Zerg, and then took the little blackened child to return the other.
“Lele! Give Lele back to me!”
The little blackened child being carried kicked his short legs desperately, trying to get Lele back. Lele was also crying loudly, calling for dad.
Barry frowned and corrected, “Para, your father was the previous Zerg king.”
The person named Lele, also known as Para, cried even more intensely: “Woo, I don’t want a Daddy Zerg, I want Dad Ningning.”
“I don’t want to give birth to little bugs; I want to go to kindergarten.”
Lele was crying so much, and the little cub, who was energetically flapping his legs, wasn’t doing well either.
He struggled hard, urging Barry to give Lele back to him.
“Lele is our family’s little child; you can’t take Lele away!”
The two little children made quite a commotion, but Barry remained unaffected.
He carried the little blackened child and walked away.
Barry returned the little blackened child, but the little child, who still didn’t want to go back, clung to his hand, refusing to let go no matter what.
“Give Lele to me; I want Lele!”
“Bad Zerg, give Lele back to me!”
The stubborn little blackened child clung to Barry, eyes burning with determination. When Barry ignored him, he even bit Barry’s hand.
The little blackened child’s teeth were strong, and this bite made Barry frown.
Zhan Xi looked at the cub hanging in Barry’s hand, carefully identifying for a few seconds before recognizing that it was his own child.
“Ningning!”
Zhan Xi rushed over to take the pitch-black child back into his arms.
The little child, upon hearing his dad’s voice, hesitated for a moment. After a few seconds, he finally let go, allowing his dad to pick him up.
“Ningning, it’s Dad’s fault; Dad came late.”
The moment Zhan Xi hugged his child, tears welled up in his eyes.
Before this, the little child used to have a solid weight, resembling a small scale weight. However, after not seeing him for a short period, the once robust appearance transformed into a small, light cotton ball, causing a sense of unease in his heart.
Despite efforts to slim down the child over the years, it didn’t have the same mistake as it did in these past few days.
“When we get back, Dad will buy you lots of delicious food, and we’ll make up for it.”
“Ningning, Dad wants—”
Zhan Xi’s emotional mood had not yet been fully expressed when the child in his arms burst into loud cries.
“Dad, save Lele!”
In Dad’s arms, the little child finally didn’t have to pretend to be strong. He hugged his dad’s neck, crying in a small, loud voice, “The bad Zergs caught Lele, and they want to keep Lele to give birth to little children.”
The little child had introduced Lele in the family group chat before, so Zhan Xi was not unfamiliar with the name Lele.
Listening to his child’s words, Zhan Xi was a bit bewildered.
If he remembered correctly, Lele was even younger than his child, right?
To let such a small child stay and give birth to little children, was this Zerg tribe on this ancient Earth acting too savage?!
Zhan Xi looked at Barry, who returned the child, with a mixture of shock and complexity.
Barry fell silent for a moment and then spoke, “Para is the future Zerg king of our Zerg tribe. After he reaches adulthood, he naturally has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of propagating our Zerg tribe.”
