Chapter 117 Don't you have a sense of responsibility?
Alex touched the warmth on his ear, as if he could still feel the mother insect's body temperature through the earring.
He never expected the insect queen to do this.
He thought it was because the gift he gave her wasn't good enough for her, but it turned out he was overthinking it.
Feeling a little better, I had just left the command room when I saw an insect that shouldn't be there.
"Why are you here?"
Upon seeing Alex, Klein straightened his back and stopped leaning against the wall. "What, can't I show up?"
"Heh, but your appearance will cause unnecessary chaos for the Zerg, and besides, we're not on the same side anyway." Alex didn't actually want to clash with him.
But Klein's presence on the starship would inevitably bring bad news, which might even reach Gatana's ears.
This is not good news.
Klein had already noticed the sparkling earrings on Alex's earlobes.
I took a closer sniff, and it seemed that the scent of the insect mother still lingered on it.
"I was just taking a casual stroll out of boredom, why do you have to worry about that?"
Alex wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well that the former commander in front of him was just looking for trouble.
But he was too busy to pay attention to him. "Then do as you please, but it's best not to show off your good deeds on the starship, so as not to cause gossip."
With that, he bumped into Klein's shoulder and left.
As for whether Klein would sneak into the command room while he was away, Alex said that the door to the command room was equipped with pupil recognition, so he couldn't get in.
Klein stood there, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
The unique aura emanating from him, belonging to the Queen Insect, hadn't dissipated even after several days.
The insects on the starship quickly noticed something different about Alex, the current Commander-in-Chief of Armaments.
No matter what she's doing, she unconsciously touches her earlobes, and when her fingers touch her earrings, she unconsciously reveals a gentle and tender smile.
Although it was only a smile that lasted less than a second, it was still caught by the meticulous insects.
Then, news of Alex wearing the earring spread throughout the entire starship.
They were all speculating about who had given the adult the earrings.
It's definitely not something he gave to himself.
The insects thought to themselves, Alex usually wears extremely simple earrings, and he hasn't changed them in all these years. This time he's wearing luxurious earrings adorned with amethysts. Without a doubt, they must have been given to him by one of his suitors.
Even if it's not perfect, it was bought by someone else.
The insects, who considered themselves very familiar with their master, never took their eyes off Alex from the very beginning.
Everyone began to discuss who the female who gave them the earrings was, that could make their usually taciturn adults so gentle.
"Could it be the Queen Insect?"
One of the insects asked, "And can you smell that the adults smell similar to the mother insect?"
After his reminder, the insects suddenly realized why they felt their minds were much more active these past few days while following the adults.
I thought they had all gone astray, but it turns out they've become even straighter.
“Possibly,” the insect replied, “and seeing that the master hasn’t been as irritable as before, it must be because the insect queen is giving him special treatment.”
"I really envy the adults who can be alone with the insect queen. I wish I could..."
"You don't want to, you want your wife whom you've never met."
"Moreover, we are already much luckier than other insects to be able to be on the same starship as the Queen and enjoy the soothing effect of pheromones. It is all thanks to our hard work back then, and that we did our best in the test to get to the main starship."
"Yes, yes, but when do you think the Queen will go to other starships to appease her? It doesn't seem right for us to have it all to ourselves like this."
……
In fact, the matter of Shen Qingqing comforting others has already been put on the agenda.
Michelle and Andor took her to other starships, though Andor's reason for going was simply to prevent Michelle from doing anything sabotage.
Furthermore, as an assistant to the insect queen, he naturally had reason to follow her.
This added considerable resistance to Michelle's attempts to do something wicked.
"Mother Insect, Little Sa is doing well and seems quite interested in facility repairs... What do you think of this plan?"
Andor sent his proposed "Little Sa's Later Development Plan" to Shen Qingqing's personal computer.
After reviewing it, Shen Qingqing said it was excellent. "Then let's do as you say. Since Xiao Sa is interested in these things, why not leave him there so he can study better?"
"Ok."
Shen Qingqing picked up her personal terminal and tried to contact Ge Yuan to let her know she was safe before putting it down.
The personal terminal Gatana gave her was thrown away, and the personal terminal Ge Yuan gave her was taken away by Gatana, and neither has been returned to her yet.
This quantum computer was provided to her later when Alex sent her to other starships, to facilitate communication and ensure her safety.
At this moment, Shen Qingqing is browsing the latest interstellar events on the StarNet.
All interstellar political news will be published on the StarNet as soon as possible.
And the headline reads a newly released political hot topic.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but click on it, and the few lines of large characters on it completely shattered her worldview.
The news that Alex told her yesterday was actually listed on the Zerg Star Network.
The Zerg and Wolf Clan have reached a peace agreement and territorial division. The Zerg's de facto leader, Gatana, personally signed the agreement, and the terms are expected to be finalized in about a month...
With the borders redrawn, what will become of the two major factions? Will the Zerg relinquish more than half of their territory...?
There are many more messages like this, and under the news of the Zerg ceding territory, the comments section is invariably filled with angry curses against Gatana.
Insect A: I knew this governor had ill intentions. So he had been colluding with the werewolves all along!
Insect B: What a disgrace to my Zerg race! Gatana, you despicable little bug!!
Insect C: Oh my god, our Queen has just returned, and we're already facing this predicament? Is the glory of our Zerg really about to end once again...?
Soon after, those inflammatory comments were deleted.
Shen Qingqing tried to type a word, but found that the comment section had been set to be off-limits to posting.
However, various comments have appeared on the Zerg StarNet, forums, short videos, entertainment channels... wherever there is a place to speak, fear and despair have enveloped it.
The entire Zerg race is in chaos; they cannot accept the Zerg compromising with other races.
They may die in battle, but they must never surrender!
Just as Shen Qingqing was looking at the news, Michelle came over and, seeing that she was reading StarNet news, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Does our noble Queen of Insects actually read such trivial news?"
"You think this is boring?"
Shen Qingqing looked up and said, "You actually think the rise and fall of a race is boring? How irresponsible and lacking in a sense of belonging are you, you insect?"
