At the Northeast Campsite...
The arrival of Leng Jun and his group was sothing everyone had expected yet they didn't expect him to co over so fast. Moreover, even though they were inford about the change in him, they didn't expect him to get younger as well. Right now, he looks like a young adult who hasn't even reached middle-age. They welcod the guests and moved them to the main tent.
Of course, as promised, Jeremy and Shiva were inford about their arrival. They didn't need to be escorted, as Leng Jun chose to see them first before heading to the main tent with Cid Warlock and the leader figure in the group.
In the main tent, only the Elentalist who chose to stay with him last ti accompanied him, as for the others, they remained in the tent of Jeremy and Shiva, still crying their eyes out. Leng Jun glances at the Elentalist beside him, trembling; after all, he was also just a civilian before. Even though he knew about the other races, eting the leaders himself was stressful.
Leng Jun said, "Go back to where Jeremy is. Chuchu is with . I am not alone."
"Are you sure? There's a lot of them though," said the Elentalist.
Zerg King Cid Warlock grins and teases, "Don't worry. We don't eat humans~"
The Elentalist looked frightened as he saw the big guy's evil smile. The other alliance leaders also chose to smile at him, which was friendly, but in the eyes of this human, who hasn't t other races except for elentals, he feels the world was against him.
Sighed. Leng Jun said, "Please stop teasing him. He is already scared enough."
"Hahaha~ he is quite fun to tease. Solan, help him back to Jeremy's tent. His legs look jelly right now," said Zerg King Cid Warlock. "So, just as I thought most of the Sentinel died during the last war, tsk! Those three old bastards."
The Elentalist overheard the Zerg King's word on his way out. He didn't expect that the King of the Insect race would hate those old marshals from before as well. Actually, he hates them too. IT was because of the abuse of authority of those n that his sworn brother, a halfling, left the Federation Star to survive.
He and his father were jailed for helping his friend escape and if not for the apocalypse, they wouldn't have been able to leave that cold jail.
On his way out, he bumps into a group of Zerg soldiers and sees one of them looking very similar to his friend, Zion. He called out without thinking and was terrified with what he did. He didn't expect the Zerg soldier to turn around and look at him as he called out his friend's na.
"Zion?"
The Zerg soldier turned around and responded, "Yes? Who is calling ?" Then he finally saw his long-sworn friend, who helped him and his family escape from the Federation Star.
Zion calls, "Xiao Fanfan? It's really you!?"
The Zerg soldier, Zion, imdiately hugs the Elentalist, nad Cen Fanyu. His face was in tears as he hugged him. "Oh my God! You're alive! Haha~ Thank god! I volunteered for this expedition when the Zerg King said he wanted to return to the Federation Star.
I wanted to see you, aunt and uncle. But when I saw the state of this planet, I thought you guys were..."
"I'm okay," said Cen Fanyu yet it was unbelievable, as he seed to be dazed.
The Zerg Soldier, Zion, asked, "Really?" He stared at him, obviously trying to ask him to be honest.
"I…I…I'm not alright. Mom died from a cold. She and dad turned ice. I… I don't know. I just followed others to the base and then..." Cen Fanyu didn't even notice his tears were also falling down on his face as if he couldn't control. He thought that he couldn't cry anymore.
"A'Zi, I don't have a family anymore! Wuaa~"
Upon seeing Cen Fanyu cries, Zion hugs him once again and whispers, "It's alright. I'm still here. Don't cry. I help you find aunt and uncle when everything on this land is resolved. Zerg King, I an Major Warlock is an amazing person. He should be able to resolve the problem on this planet.
If he can't, our Zerg Empress is kind. He would definitely help if we plead."
"Really?" asked Cen Fanyu, "But they said..."
"What the federation military said before are all lies. The Insect race doesn't eat humans at all. Most of them are vegetarians and would eat flowers. As for at-eaters, Zergs, they only eat chicken, pork and beef. Eating humans is not allowed in the Hive Star. What we know before was all fake news that the military had spread before," said Zion.
Cen Fanyu asked, "But why would they do that?"
"That's because they wanted to defeat the Zerg Race and take over their planet. The Hive Star is one of the most fertile planets in this star system," said Solan.
Eh?
At this point of conversation, Solan and the other soldiers in the area are butting in. Seeing this is an opportunity to remind the two that they are in public and everyone is looking at them with teasing smiles. So, as Zion and Cen Fanyu turned around, they saw everyone's eyes on them. Not only Zergs or halflings.
There are also so dragons, machines, dragonewts and even elves looking at them with knowing smiles on their faces.
Solan comnted with a teasing smile, "Ah, 'I'm still here. Don't cry.' This is youth. The best I've heard."
Zion and Cen Fanyu's faces turned red in embarrassnt, and only then did they realize that everyone was watching them right from the start.
A spider-type Zerg in human form said, "I not only eat chicken, pork, and beef. Lamb and mutton are also the best. As for human flesh, the Zerg Emperor said it was poison to us. It leads a Zerg into madness, so we never tried eating it before. It's also forbidden by our laws even before His Majesty Warlock took the throne. Instead, it is you humans who eat our Worker Zergs.
Though they do look like shrimp, are they really edible?"
"Um. It was more delicious than ordinary shrimp. Yes, it stayed like a King Lobster!" said Solan.
The Zerg Soldiers were shocked and interested; they surrounded their Minister Solan and said, "Pri Minister, you are not lying?"
"Is it really delicious?"
"It wouldn't be bad to try a few, right?"
"Let's go catch a few."
"Don't forget to send a plate to my tent!" Solan said.
The Zerg soldiers happily departed to catch so worker Zergs. "Yes, sir!"
Cen Fanyu was dumbfounded. Aren't worker Zergs still Zergs? Can they still be their own kind? anwhile, as if reading his thoughts, Zion explained the existence of the Worker Zergs.
Zion coughed. "Xiao Fanfan. Worker Zergs aren't truly Zergs. That is only a na. Worker Zergs are livestock in the Hive. One that helps purify the waters on our planet.
They are just sowhat obedient livestock, but only the Royal Tribe can command them to do sothing. They can also be used to scout places that are from a distance as they never get tired."
"Then doesn't that an they are going to eat the scouts your king brought?" asked Cen Fanyu nonchalantly, which awakened Solan to this reality.
Solan cursed, "Ah! Shit! You brats! Don't eat all of the Worker Zergs." He turned around and said, "Zion, you can escort that kid for . I need to stop those fools."
After Solan left, Zerg Soldier Zion, who was excused from his duties, escorted Cen Fanyu to the tent where Jeremy and the rest were waiting. The interior of the tent is so boisterous that one can hear people laughing and chatting. Food is being delivered inside for the guests to eat. Cen Fanyu and the rest of the team obviously haven't even slept properly since the night attack happened yesterday.
By the ti. Cen Fanyu and Zion join the team; most of them are eating and chatting at the sa ti.
"Fanyu, you co back fast. That's why I told you, you don't need to co with the leader. It's enough that he had Chuchu with him."
"Oh~ you brought a friend... A Halfling? No, based on his outfit, he is a Zerg Soldier."
"Welco! You can ignore these fools. Go have a seat," said Shiva.
Jeremy also welcod the presence of Zion. He also heard about how the family of Cen Fanyu was sent to prison for helping a halfling escape the Federation Star. It was the General Surge, who helped them bail out after learning about this situation.
Zion properly introduced himself and said, "Hello! My na is Zion. I am from the 3rd Assault Team of the Zerg Legion. Nice to et you!"
"Halflings are allowed to join the military in the Hive Star? I thought only female Zergs joined it?" asked Jeremy. He had been resting in the tent ever since he woke up and hasn't t other soldiers except for those who sent their als.
Zion responded, "That was before. After most residents of the Hive evolved, even male Zergs regained their original strength. The error on their genes was erased the mont they completed evolution. It was also because of collective evolution that the Hive Star had closed itself, preventing all news from coming outside.
If only I knew that an apocalypse hit the Federation Star, I would co over right away."
"You an the Hive has been closed until recently? The Zergs are all undergoing evolution in groups? That's possible?" Shiva asked.
Zion nodded his head and explained. "It is all thanks to our Zerg Empress. He spread his knowledge of Pill Refinent and Potion Concoction. Because of it, the problems in the genes of all Zergs had been resolved.
Now most Make Zerg have returned to the normal physique of a man, and the Female Zerg no longer needs to fear ntal stability thanks to our Zerg Emperor sharing a technique that strengthens one soul. They are the gods of our race."
"Gods? Do they truly exist?" asked Cen Fanyu.
Zion responded, "This is only sothing I overheard from my superiors talking. They said that each world possessed a god. It was just that during the weakest state of the world they would choose one savior that would save the world. Our Zerg Emperor said that Zerg King Warlock is our savior, so they rarely interfere after Zerg King Cid sat on the throne."
"Have you t the Zerg Emperor and Zerg Empress?" asked Jeremy.
Zion said, "Of course! They are a very loving couple. The type that is shaless gives dog food every ti. We sotis see them on their date at night markets. the Colosseum, even at the sky garden. You would see them flirting all day in the Hive.
It is bad for the single dogs, but thanks to them the other couples would also openly show their love and the birth rate of our race indefinitely increased. The bachelors suffered the most. Ah, right! His Majesty was suffering from countless marriage offers because of this too. But it's like he can complain to the Emperor and the Empress showing their love, right?"
The others listening in the room were smiling at this kind of novel news. They would have never thought that a pair of fad people would show their love without caring for others, and the Hive openly accepting this kind of situation is another thing in itself. But this just shows that the people that live in the Hive are all in good health, and they are all happy.
Then they compared the Hive Star in this young soldier's story to their current world. Their planet is desolate and full of danger from the unknown, and the human race is under the reign of the Elentals. It is far from the happy and carefree world the Hive Star possessed. There is more tragedy than hope on this planet.
Jeremy mumbles, "I hope this apocalypse will end soon."
"That's right. I don't care if we don't have the sa resources as before. As long as the weather returns to normal and the humans will no longer be suppressed by the elents as well as live on the surface, that is enough for ."
"All I wanted was to return to the ti where we can live without caring too much for our safety and just live our lives as boring and simple as before. At the very least, find and unfroze our families and bury them properly," Shiva said.
Thinking of their families who had turned to ice, they couldn't help but feel lancholy about it. Almost all humans lost a loved one when the apocalypse began. Ice that cannot be lted by any ans. It cannot be cut or destroyed, yet it keeps imprisoning the people inside even after their deaths.
As for those who survived, they had to keep hiding not only from the Ice Elentals, who detested them, but they also needed to live underground to survive. Now there is the chaos energy brought by the beast race that spreads throughout their world, spreading madness everywhere, which greatly increases the danger on this planet. Right now, this Federation Star is no different from Cold Hell.
