EROS [Zerg]

Chapter 121 The Prelude to War

Eros had planned to send the little guy back to his room on his day off, but the military seemed to be planning a series of new actions, so his vacation hadn't arrived yet.

Eros truly loathed the Xenomorphs. In his past memories, he had witnessed firsthand how female insects who were kind to him were torn apart and devoured by the Xenomorphs.

But looking at the pitiful, fake appearance of the cub in front of him, he really couldn't bring himself to kill it.

Eros believed he had been too cowardly.

After handing the nutrient solution to Moby, the little alien smacked its lips, and an indescribable expression immediately appeared on its face.

"It tastes so bad!"

"Your insects' nutrient solution tastes awful," Moby said, sticking out his tongue.

"..." Eros's face showed a hint of surprise and slowness: "You can actually be picky."

“Because it really tastes awful.” Moby stared with his two small eyes: “When I get back, I’ll let you try our nutrient solution. If you like it, come find me every time, and I’ll give you a 40% discount.”

Eros was speechless. Why was this cub being marketed?

"I won't buy your substandard products."

Moby was trying his best to recommend his family's new products to Eros, but after hearing such a discouraging remark, Moby was immediately unhappy.

"I'm not selling counterfeit goods; they're all special medicines that Anto has painstakingly researched!"

"Anto is a very skilled pharmacist!"

Eros smiled insincerely: "Would a skilled apothecary produce illegal drugs?"

"This...this...even powerful insects need to live..."

"insect?"

When Eros heard Moby say that Anto was a worm, his eyes narrowed instantly.

Is it a female insect?

"I...I don't know." Moby opened his mouth, then immediately covered it with his paw. "Anto said to keep it a secret."

"What secrets?" Eros pressed. "Do you know you're a prisoner now?"

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. If you don't tell the truth, I'll lock you up here for a year or two. What if you don't go back home? Won't your family support you?"

"A year or two later, when you go home, guess how many people will still be alive in your family?"

Moby stared at Eros in disbelief, his face full of accusation: "You're so vicious!"

“If I were merciful in dealing with our natural enemies, I would be a fool.” Eros spread his paws and squinted at Moby with a meaningful look: “It’s your own fault for not telling me.”

Moby pursed his lips, thinking he could fool this beautiful but heartless insect in front of him. So he made up a legendary story about a talented but unappreciated person for Anto.

"You mean he graduated from the best military academy of the Zerg?"

"He also worked at the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology??"

"..."

Watching the alien cub nod its head like a rattle drum, Eros increasingly wondered if he had somehow given the cub the impression of being an idiot.

"I will see him when I send you back."

Eros ruthlessly slammed the iron cage door shut and then powered on the electric fence.

These past few days, I've heard from Blow that the military has a new operational plan because several traces of Blue Star being stolen have been discovered on the edge planets of the Sixth Star System.

Eros felt something was off. He looked through the military's previous combat records, which showed that most of the military conflicts between the Zerg army and the Blue Star pirates were small-scale skirmishes.

What is special is that in the early stages of two major military battles, enemy traces were detected multiple times on the edge of the territory.

"Could it be another large-scale military operation?" Eros muttered to himself, his brow furrowed with confusion.

While Eros was still confused, a video circulated on the human base's intranet via the central official account.

[Real video of Zerg performing a live dissection on a 10-year-old human girl exposed! The methods are extremely cruel!]

[Video of Zerg dissecting humans leaked, potentially exposing human genetic material!]

In the video, a young girl named Bai Lin is seen trembling and strapped to an autopsy table, her body being dissected in a horrific and terrifying manner, instantly raising the video's horror factor to new heights!

[The identity of the girl who underwent autopsy has been confirmed! She is General Rowling's half-sister!]

In the news and online, videos of girls being vivisectioned were being played without any censorship on various bulletin boards.

The latest official announcements are stimulating netizens' nerves.

In an instant, a sensational call for war erupted at the human base!

[Admiral Rowling orders the execution of Zerg prisoners of war at the base!]

[General Rowling delivers a speech to the entire army!]

"They are harming our children, using them for live experiments. Once those insects obtain our human genes, they will surely launch an even more horrific invasion against us. But humanity cannot be intimidated. We will never sit idly by and wait to die. We must let them know that humanity is not something they can easily enslave!"

Rowling's speech blared from countless electronic devices, the news like a bomb, stirring up the entire base's civilians and soldiers, who fervently volunteered for battle.

"Those insects must pay the price!"

Luo Lan was sitting on Lü Liang's lap, watching General Luo Lin's speech live with him. It was less of a speech and more of a mobilization and declaration of war.

Are we about to go to war?

Lü Liang adjusted his drooping black-rimmed glasses, then gently stroked Luo Lan's head: "Little Luo Lan, are you scared?"

"Luo Lan doesn't like fighting." The little child blinked his beautiful eyes as he looked at Lü Liang.

"Is Mom going to put those monsters in the cage to death?"

Lü Liang glanced back at the iron gate behind him: "No, of course not."

"Then won't that blue butterfly-like bug be put to death either?" Luo Lan asked, somewhat selfishly.

“No, these insects have their own uses, so we won’t kill them easily.” Lü Liang added, “But once they’re no longer of any use to us, we will kill them.”

Luo Lan's chubby little body froze, and her heart, which had just settled down, started to pound again.

He really liked the monsters in it.

Luo Lan could sense that the monster inside also liked him and would show him kindness.

Luo Lan didn't understand, but as an adult, Lü Liang knew very well why Luo Lin had ordered the killing of the Zerg prisoners.

These Zerg prisoners are very important resources to Rowling, and she is unwilling to treat them by slaughter.

The reason for ordering the killing of these prisoners was merely to mislead the public.

Rowling allocates a portion of the annual budget to support prisoners of war. However, there aren't actually that many prisoners to support; they are usually captured, experimented on, and die quickly, so there's no need to continue feeding them.

Insects, which can survive on rocks, are very inexpensive to raise. All the extra money was invested in the genetic experiments supported by Rowling.
