EROS [Zerg]

A female insect dressed in a well-fitting military uniform pushed open the door to the luxurious private room. She rubbed her ears, feeling relieved to finally escape the noisy and obscene chatter inside. Looking up, she saw her companion already standing in the corridor.

"En'er, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Enel standing in the corridor, his gaze fixed on the view outside the window, Berlanham went up to him and struck up a conversation.

The female insect, named En'er, held a half-burnt cigarette between her fingers, her gaze fixed on the female slave being dragged onto the auction stage by chains in her emerald eyes.

“Branham, look at them.” Enl rested his arm on the safety railing inside the glass, took a puff of his cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke. “Maybe one day we’ll end up like them, a commodity.”

"Oh, don't be too pessimistic. At least you're still a major in the First Army, and your male lord still depends on you for survival. I'm afraid no A-level female insect would be willing to support an E-level male insect except for you."

Berlanham leaned against the railing, tilting his head to look at his companion, his tone playful and comforting: "As long as you can continue to earn military merits to entertain him, he won't send you here."

"Tsk." En'er became even more irritated. He stubbed out his cigarette and crushed it into a thin sheet.

Berlanham knew that Enel was in a bad mood, and he himself wasn't much better off.

Upon learning that ten female soldiers had been transferred from the military region to "protect" a noble male insect that had come out to philander, Berlanham's eyes nearly rolled to the sky.

So while the male insect was having a great time in the private room, the two uninvolved insects went out to the corridor to slack off.

Berlanham, gazing at the lost in thought En'er, suddenly remembered the aloof female insect beside him, already pregnant with offspring, who was actually quite interested in female insects at heart. He then quipped:

"Look, there are actually a few handsome guys in there."

Berlanham pointed to a row of naked female insects with suppressors around their necks, who walked onto the stage one by one, revealing their exoskeletons.

Before stepping onto the display stand, these female insects are injected with a drug to put them in a state of heightened arousal, revealing their beautiful patterns. The patterns on their exoskeletons are unusually vibrant, something any discerning insect would know is abnormal, but the striking patterns are irresistibly attractive to males.

The suppressors on the necks of the female prostitutes and slaves are used to suppress these excited female insects and prevent them from turning into insects in front of the male insects due to excessive excitement, thus frightening these precious male insects of the empire.

Ener caught the sarcasm in Berlanham's words, and his gaze suddenly stopped as he casually swept over the female insects.

"Could he really have taken a liking to her?" Berlanham noticed Enel's pause. He thought he knew Enel well, but now he was a little unsure:

God of Insects, don't let his joke lead this major to buy a female slave to be his lover.

……

A dark basement.

"Hurry up, Eros, we're waiting for you!" A naked female prostitute leaned against the wall, looking impatiently at the female insect huddled in the corner.

The female insect was in a daze; she had been injected with too much stimulant, and her body felt uncomfortable, and she even developed a fever.

The female insects are very strong, but this female insect named Eros is an exception.

"I feel so awful..."

"You idiot, you actually let them inject all the medicine into your body!"

"I don't care about you anymore. I've already called you. If you don't go back, I'll get whipped too!" the female insect yelled, not wanting to have anything to do with this new, foolish female insect. She then limped away, leaning against the wall.

The female insect called Eros was still kneeling on the ground, covered in cold sweat. Despite being injected with twice the amount of medicine, the insect patterns on his body were still dull and lifeless.

This place is truly hell.

Eros didn't know how he got here. He had no memory of his previous life. From the moment he opened his eyes, he was on the auction stage, being transferred from one male insect's bed to another male insect's bed.

[Run away.]

Eros's vision blurred; he knew he was probably going to faint again.

Before he fainted, he heard a very gentle voice. Although fainting was very uncomfortable, Eros could hear such a gentle voice in his ear before he fainted each time. Over time, it became a rare comfort for him here.

"Damn it, they're slacking off here!"

A bucket of ice water was poured over his head, accompanied by the discharge from the suppression ring around his neck. Eros's eyes, which had not yet closed completely, suddenly opened wide uncontrollably and rolled back. His body also stiffened uncontrollably due to the electric shock, and he screamed.

"Ah! Ah..."

"You wretched bitch, you dare to slack off and sleep!" The guard insect, wielding a specially made iron whip, mercilessly lashed Eros's body.

"Get out now!"

Eros was whipped to the ground by the iron whip, and his thin exoskeleton was ripped with bloody welts. Driven by the iron whip, he almost tumbled and crawled to catch up with the group of prostitutes in front of him.

Ropes bound his hands and led him toward the auction stage.

When it was his turn to go on stage, the female insect Eros heard the sub-female auctioneer's explanation to him:

"The next exhibit is a B-grade female insect, Eros. She has been convicted of harming male insects and has had her wings stripped and her reproductive cavity shattered in accordance with imperial law. This is her seventh auction!"

Perhaps because he had just been doused with cold water, Eros, who was being auctioned this time, was much more lucid than usual. He even boldly raised his head and opened his beautiful violet eyes to look around.

This bold move piqued the interest of many male insects.

As the auction price continued to rise, Eros couldn't understand why so many male insects wanted to bid on him, a crippled insect whose markings couldn't even light up.

Seeing Eros standing there dumbfounded on the stage without making a move, perhaps wanting the female insect to make more noise to arouse the interest of the male insects in the auction hall and increase the price of the female insect, the sub-female picked up an iron whip with barbed iron and lashed Eros hard on the back.

"what!!"

The whip easily pierced Eros's fragile exoskeleton, tearing out a large patch of flesh and blood, causing the fragile female insect to scream incessantly. As the pain intensified, Eros's insect markings began to glow with a dark purple light.

This reaction clearly pleased the male insects who were still observing, and more and more places started raising prices, while the female insects were whipped more and more often.

Eros didn't understand why the female was hitting him. His biological instinct to dodge when hit made him want to run away, but the shackles on his feet prevented him from escaping the whipping.

"It hurts! Stop hitting me, it hurts!" Eros frantically tried to dodge but tripped over the shackles on his feet and fell to the ground, where he could only beg for mercy.

But none of the insects present would let him go. The rare purple insect patterns on his body became increasingly shiny under the whipping, and coupled with Eros's screams and disheveled state, the atmosphere of bidding on the scene became even more frenzied.

"Ouch! Stop hitting me!"

“It hurts!!”

As the whip continued to fall, Eros's insect patterns became increasingly dazzling, and the inhibitor on his neck began to detect the female insect's surging mental energy and started to discharge electricity as punishment.

The female insect's claws dug into the suppressor on its neck, tearing at it relentlessly. Even as it left a dark mark on its neck, it continued to try to destroy the suppressor that caused it so much pain.

But how could a suppressor be so easily destroyed? The sub-female sneered inwardly. Even an A-grade female insect had to kneel on the ground like a dog when fitted with a suppressor, let alone Eros, who was only a B-grade female insect.

The only thing capable of destroying the suppressor is probably a female insect of S-class or higher, but the only SS-class female insect of the Insect Planet Empire of S-class or higher was declared dead half a month ago.

Seeing that the price had reached a certain level, the sub-female auctioneer skillfully took out an inhibitor and inserted it into the gland behind Eros's neck.

You can't use up all the fun stuff on the auction stage and disappoint the buyers.

The bidding continued to produce new prices, but the female insects were increasingly unable to bear the physical pain.

[Run away.]

That gentle voice seemed to possess a magical power, appearing in Eros's ears. Eros was like a little insect following its mother's voice.

"run."

"run."

"I want to run away!"

Eros frantically twisted the restraint on his neck, his toes kicking the ground repeatedly, as the large dose of drugs injected into his body began to release their energy under the stimulation of the electric shocks.

At this point, the markings on the female insect's body seemed to reach a critical point; they stopped flashing and became brighter and brighter.

This anomaly made the sub-female realize that something was amiss, and she quickly injected Eros with two more sedatives.

The sedative injected into his body did not calm the female insect down; instead, it intensified his struggle.

Eros was tearing at the suppressor when he suddenly heard a cracking sound, and the suppressor that was holding him was instantly reduced to dust.

Ener's gaze remained fixed on the female insect. Suddenly, he sensed a fluctuation in the air. His premonition, honed by years of military experience, made him immediately pull Berlan away from the window. Almost the next second, all the protective glass in the corridor shattered into pieces and exploded!

The entire circuit of the trading building was cut off instantly, plunging the room into darkness. After a few brief seconds of silence, a sharp and terrifying scream exploded throughout the entire trading building.

"Run out, run out..."

Eros's shackles and chains turned to dust, and he clashed fearfully with the screaming, terrified insects in the darkness, like a frightened little worm.

In the shadows, Eros was pinned down by an extremely powerful claw. He struggled in fear and anxiety, but after feeling the injection of the cold liquid, his body gradually lost consciousness, and his eyes grew heavier and heavier until they slowly closed.
