EROS [Zerg]

Eros, holding Kowe's access card, left the Evita Laboratory without any hindrance.

The moment he stepped out, Eros felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

The laser gun hidden in his pocket gave him a great sense of security.

The night sky over the main star is beautiful but also very cold.

Eros breathed on his palm, rolled up his sleeve, and entered Yaqiong Xiongzi's terminal number into the terminal on his wrist.

The connection was established, and a steady voice from the male insect came through the other end: "Have you thought it through?"

"Your Excellency Yaqiong, I am currently in the Evita Garden and wish to see you."

"whats the matter?"

“I already know what you want to know,” Eros said as he walked briskly toward the pine wall.

"What?" came Yaqiong's surprised voice from the other end of the terminal.

“I have learned the cause of your brother’s death, and I now need your protection.” Eros felt terribly calm. Besides thinking about seeking Yajun’s protection, he was also wondering what he would do if the male insect turned against him.

“You can say that over the phone,” Yaqiong said.

“I’m sorry, Your Excellency,” Eros said, “I don’t entirely trust you.”

"Admiral Kowe already knows that I have discovered this matter. I need you to send me to another star system. If you can ensure my safety, I will tell you what I know."

"I'm coming over now." Yaqiong glanced at the female ruler who was tidying the sheets, walked over to Kadian and told him she was going out for a while.

"Is it Eros?" Cardian put down what he was holding and said irritably, "I didn't know you were so interested in him too."

“If you like him, I can ask him if he would be willing to be your maid.”

“Ann.” Yaqiong interrupted Kadian’s disgruntled words: “I have no intention of having anything happen between you and your friend, and I will not treat him specially just because he looks like my brother.”

“Inviting a male insect to the garden late at night, I wonder what he was thinking.” Cardian turned his head and sneered, “I thought he would be a well-behaved one.”

"Anyway, I can't control you."

"Don't overthink it." Yaqiong hugged her queen and kissed Kadian on the cheek. "I'll be back in a bit."

Kadian turned his head away, not trying to stop Yaqiong.

Seeing Kadian's reaction, Yaqiong didn't say anything more, grabbed a coat, and went out the door.

Eros hid in the labyrinthine pine walls until he received a communication from Ajahn and then emerged from the shadows.

"Eros, what happened?" Yaqiong looked at Eros, whose face was solemn and completely different from his expression during the day, and guessed that something might have happened to him.

“Sir, I entered the Evita Laboratory and saw the answer you seek.” Eros didn’t say much, but took out the access card he had just taken from Kove and tossed it to Yaqiong.

“This is…” Yaqiong stared incredulously at the access card in her palm. In the entire Evita Laboratory, only Kewei had such an access card with all the necessary permissions: “How could you possibly have gotten it?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself,” Eros said coldly to the male insect, Yaqiong. “If you dare.”

"How did you get it?!" Yaqiong felt incredulous. He knew very well what kind of insect his female father was, and he would never hand over an important access card to another insect out of trust.

“Because,” Eros reached into his pocket, touching the laser gun lying inside, but didn’t take it out, “I injured your father.”

"what?!"

“Sir, if you want to know what I saw, get me out of here immediately. As long as you can ensure my safety, I will tell you what’s inside.” Eros said coldly, “If you can’t do that, I will trade what I saw with any insect that can protect me.”

"He will be scorned by the entire Zerg race along with his experiments."

"Is my female father still alive?" Yaqiong gasped, forcing himself to look calmly at Eros. Unlike his docile and harmless demeanor during the day, the female insect's face appeared extremely pale and hard in the night.

“Alive,” Eros said. “That’s why I’ve come to you for protection, because I’m terrified of his retaliation against me.”

"How could you do such a thing?" Yaqiong breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't believe it. The contrast between Eros and him in just one day was too great, as if he had become a completely different insect.

“If you knew how Admiral Kowe killed your brother, I don’t believe you would still be able to live peacefully here,” Eros continued, stirring things up.

"What did you say?!" Yaqiong was taken aback by Eros's sudden words: "How could the female father hurt my brother? My brother is also his insect offspring."

“Your Excellency Yaqiong, I don’t want to discuss these things with you right now. All I know is that the general just pointed a gun at my head, and I need to leave here!”

"You can't leave. I need to make sure my father is still alive." Yaqiong refused Eros and ran towards the Evita Laboratory with her access card.

Standing behind Yaqiong, Eros felt a surge of humiliation at being betrayed. He subconsciously touched the gun in his pocket, his mind racing with thoughts of how he would leave if he killed Yaqiong's son.

But in the end, he abandoned this dangerous idea in his mind, touching the gun in his palm: "Eros, you can't become a devil."

Eros felt lost again, unable to see any way out for the future.

We must leave this place. Even if we live on a garbage planet free of insects, we cannot stay here any longer.

Just as Eros was preparing for the worst, a claw landed on his shoulder.

Eros shuddered, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and instinctively drew his gun, pointing it behind him: "Who!"

"It's me." A paw covered Eros's mouth, making a shushing gesture.

Eros recognized the voice as that of Kadian.

“I’ll help you get away,” Cardian whispered in Eros’s ear. “You have to believe me, it was Enrout who asked me to take care of you.”

Upon hearing Commander Enel's name, Eros paused, and the tears he had been holding back involuntarily fell.

"Where else can I go?" Eros said, somewhat disheartened. "In my current state, I'm afraid I can only hide on a junk planet."

"What happened?" Kadian had only come to see what Eros wanted to do with his male lord. Touching the tears on the female insect's cheek, he couldn't understand why Eros was so pessimistic, as if she had been bullied.

Eros shook his head, not wanting to involve Cardian.

Kadian looked down and saw the gun in Eros's claws, then suddenly realized it was Kowe's sidearm.

"You took the female father's sidearm?"

"Your hands were in your pockets the whole time. Were you trying to shoot Yaqiong?"

"Eros, I believe you're a good bug, what happened?"
