Chapter 394 Male Insect vs. General Female Insect 60

He was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, but he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.

If Gu Zhan hadn't thought that torturing him was more interesting than killing him, given his temper, he would have sent him to see the Insect God without mercy.

At first, the captured male insects were not easy to deal with. They were thinking about finding an opportunity to sue the empire and expose Gu Zhan's actions.

How could Gu Zhan give them this opportunity? He sneered, took out a few strangely colored pills and force-fed them.

When the drug took effect, the male insects rolled on the ground in pain, their clothes soaked with cold sweat. They were unable to live or die, and they had only one last option left - to work honestly in exchange for the antidote that could temporarily relieve the pain.

After this incident, everyone was completely tamed. No one dared to say a word of resistance. They just buried their heads in the fields and allowed the shackles of fate to bind them tightly.

Rick stood at the edge of the field with his arms folded, looking at the male insects in the field that were once majestic and superior, but now looked dirty and miserable.

A sarcastic smile curled up the corner of his mouth. "Oh, if you had just been obedient and worked honestly from the beginning, it would have been much easier. But you had to seek your own death and do it in a fancy way. Now you feel relieved, right?"

Every time Rick stepped into this cultivated land and saw this scene, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

In the past, these male insects relied on their noble status to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the interstellar space, treating the female insects as nothing and trampling on their dignity at will.

Now he is in Gu Zhan's hands (although Gu Zhan is also a male insect, he is a female king slave!), and he is completely subdued. There is no trace of his former arrogance left.

After returning, Rick opened up a chatterbox and pulled Bai Mier and Ryan to talk about Gu Zhan's "great achievements" with great joy: "You didn't see that, Mr. Gu Zhan's methods, both soft and hard, were flawless!

"At first, those male insects were making a lot of noise, shouting that they wanted to complain and plotting to escape, but with just a few moves from Master Gu Zhan, they were all subdued and hushed, lying on the ground working without even daring to breathe."

Bai Mier listened with great interest, his eyes full of admiration and love for Gu Zhan. He asked for a few details from time to time, and the two chatted for most of the night.

Time passed quietly, Gu Zhan and Bai Mier worked in the fields day and night, repeatedly conducting experiments and careful research, and they unexpectedly had a surprise.

They noticed an astonishing pattern: the higher the level of the female and male insects, the purer and more powerful the energy contained in the crops they grew, which had a miraculous effect on calming the spiritual sea.

This discovery is undoubtedly like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness, bringing new hope to the entire Zerg.

In the more than a year since Zhou Hai returned to the capital star, the border star has completely changed.

Bai Mier and Hertz were like tireless pioneers, leading a group of female and male soldiers, working day and night, sleeping in the open air, and sowing seeds of hope wherever there was a glimmer of possibility for cultivation. Lush green crops broke through the soil and swayed in the wind.

Even those poor-quality lands with poor soil and rugged rocks were not spared. Gu Zhan waved his hand and transported various fruit tree seedlings and planted them carefully.

The large amount of seeds and saplings consumed during this process were all funded by Gu Zhan out of his own pocket. He gave his all just to create a vibrant oasis for the border star.

At the same time, the capital planet was caught in a vortex of power, with undercurrents surging and disputes among various forces. In just over a year, there were hundreds of rounds of open and secret struggles.

The atmosphere in the palace was extremely depressing. The Insect King had been suffering from a long-term illness and was already at the end of his strength. In his dying moments, the issue of succession became the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the insects.

As the eldest son of the emperor, Harold relied on his status to win over many powerful officials and nobles.

Although Othello was the queen's son, he cared about the rights of female insects, which made some forces in the court wary of him and also won him many supporters.

The Insect King knew Othello's temper very well. When he thought of the time when female insects were in power thousands of years ago, his brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character. He secretly vowed that he would never let history repeat itself and that the throne would never fall into Othello's hands.

Unfortunately, before the Insect King could muster his last breath and announce his successor, Harold lost his patience first.

He was worried all day, fearing that the Insect King would soften his heart and pass the throne to Othello. After much thought, he finally hardened his heart and sneaked into the Insect King's bedroom on a dark, windy and silent night.

With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade pierced into the Insect King's neck, blood splattered everywhere. The Insect King opened his eyes wide, his face full of astonishment until his death.

Harold thought his plan was perfect, but Othello had already anticipated his reckless behavior and had set a trap for him, waiting for him to fall into it.

Harold had just stepped out of the bedroom and had not had time to put away the bloody sword when Othello appeared with a group of guards and surrounded him.

"Capture him! He is guilty of plotting to kill the Insect King and should be put to death!" Othello shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the palace.

Harold instantly turned pale, collapsed to the ground, and was captured alive.
