EROS [Zerg]

Thomas was comforted by the three female insects in turn until his temper was completely worn away. Only then did he remember that there was still a female insect sitting next to him. He turned to look for Eros but found that the female insect had already left, leaving only a bill that had been settled.

But now Thomas shouldn't be thinking about where the female insect went, but whether or not to move his home from the third star system to the sixth star system, since he has no intention of resigning.

……

Eros let himself wander the long street for a long time, and he saw all sorts of insects.

Insects seem to have a nocturnal nature; even though their daytime work has exhausted most of their energy, they still cannot be quiet at night.

There are male insect vendors who come out at night to attract customers by their identity, and female insects who travel in pairs in search of romantic encounters.

As Eros walked among the insect swarm, feeling the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere around him, a sense of satisfaction and comfort inexplicably rose in his heart.

As dawn approached, Eros, who had been wandering the long street, returned to his private room in the tavern. The female insect inside was still asleep. Eros pushed a stool over to rest for a while when suddenly a pair of long, slender arms reached out from behind him and trapped him in their not-so-broad crooked arms.

Eros, with his back to the insect, saw the black snake tattoos on the arms. "Sang Shuang?"

"Humph……"

Eros felt a cold body press against its back and couldn't quite grasp what Sang Shuang meant, so it raised its claws to push away the female insect's advances.

"Isn't that too cold?" Sang Shuang's slender arms wrapped around Eros like slender snakes, her clear and cold voice carrying a hint of coquetry. Her unusually cold lips pressed against the female insect's neck, like a ferocious beast ready to feast at any moment.

"You must be feeling quite depressed in the First Star System. Now that you've come all the way to the Sixth Star System, you should have some fun. This is a paradise for female insects..."

Eros watched as Sang Shuang's claws began to fidget with his buttons, and a smile, though not reaching his eyes, reappeared on his face.

"Knowing there are many female insects here, as an alien, you should hide well instead of going into heat here."

Sang Shuang paused, then suddenly felt dizzy, and his whole body was slammed onto the table covered with overturned wine bottles.

After drinking the wine, he smashed the bottle on the ground, the sound disturbing the sleeping female insects nearby.

A piercing sound startled several drowsy female insects awake, causing them to open their eyes wide.

"What's wrong…"

"what happened?!"

Several female insects turned their gaze toward the direction from which the sound came. They saw the thin female insect intern they had brought to play with the night before, now standing on the table with Sang Shuang. Her movements were swift and decisive, making even the insects praise her skill.

"He's an alien!" Eros noticed that the female insects were all awake, so he pressed Sang Shuang down even tighter and called for the other female insects to help.

Sang Shuang struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free from Eros's control, so he simply gave up resisting and shouted loudly to the side, "Have you seen enough? Come and save me!"

"Eros, let go of Sang Shuang! You're strangling him to death!" Seris watched as Eros pressed down on Sang Shuang's neck as if he were strangling his mortal enemy.

“He’s an alien, don’t be fooled by him! Aliens eat insects!” Eros said, increasing the pressure of his claws as he spoke, not daring to relax for a moment.

Upon hearing Eros's words, Seris immediately realized that he had misunderstood: "Eros, we all know, but Sang Shuang is not a bad person, please let him go."

Eros was very surprised to hear this. He loosened his grip on his claws and retreated sharply to maintain a safe distance from Sang Shuang.

"hiss……"

Sang Shuang, pinned to the table, rubbed her back in pain.

"You went too far!"

"What's going on?" Eros asked, looking at the female insect beside him with a puzzled expression.

Sephis explained, "Sang Shuang is a comrade we rescued from the space pirates' genetic lab."

"He was originally a female insect, but he was captured by those despicable Blue Star Thieves and subjected to inhumane genetic modification, which is why he is the way he is now."

"Genetic modification?" Eros was somewhat surprised. He felt the term was strangely familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. Where had he heard this word before?

"Yes," Sang Shuang said, rubbing her neck in defense.

“Originally, even if we female insects, who were used as experimental subjects for genetic experiments, were rescued, our genes would be contaminated and we would be dragged out and scrapped by the Imperial Army.”

"It was Lieutenant General Evanson who saved us, and even though we female insects were discharged from the army, we were able to find jobs in the Sixth Star System and support ourselves."

Eros was surprised, but also bothered: "So what were you trying to do just now?"

Sang Shuang knew that Eros was referring to her outrageous behavior just now, and her voice unconsciously became a little embarrassed: "I had my old habit, I couldn't control myself."

"Eros, don't take it too seriously."

"This guy has had Xenomorph genes fused into him, so he's picked up some Xenomorph habits too. Sometimes he'll hug us and nibble on us, but we're used to it now."

Eros nodded in understanding, but the wariness in his eyes hadn't faded, making it clear that it was impossible for him not to mind.

He had personally witnessed aliens disguised as guests torment a female insect to the point of near death before opening their gaping maws and tearing her apart, devouring her completely.

Even Eros himself found it extremely difficult to view Sang Shuang with equanimity. Therefore, in front of all the insects, he took another step back to show his stance.

However, this act of drawing a clear line was perceived by some female insects as Eros being frightened.

Several female insects surrounded Eros to comfort the little female insects they thought were frightened: "How do you know that Sang Shuang is an alien? You've never even been to a battlefield."

Eros didn't want too many female insects to know about his shameful past, so he brought up the battlefield knowledge he had learned from his textbooks: "A female insect's body temperature can't be as low as his, and the actions he just made don't seem like something a normal female insect would do."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. You'll encounter female insects like Sang Shuang in the Sixth Star System again. But don't worry, female insects like Sang Shuang are already registered with the government and have control chips implanted in their bodies, so they won't turn into aliens and eat insects."

Eros's feelings were hard to describe. He forced himself to put himself in Sang Shuang's shoes and tried to accept the current situation.

"It's not easy for female insects to live in this world, and we can't abandon any of our comrades who fought alongside us."
