Zerg: Seduction! A brutal and insane female Zerg dotes on me.

Barlow was, after all, a veteran general. He had personally deployed the security of the entire Longkoda region in the past, and he knew all too well where the city could be easily breached and where to hide.

After firing the light projectiles, he did not linger in the fight. He left behind a dozen drones to disrupt the line of sight as cover and quickly retreated amidst the chaos.

Tokar noticed the unusual activity and immediately led a team to pursue and capture some of the rebels.

Unfortunately, Barlow wasn't among them; he was just a few unfortunate characters who were discarded.

"Damn it!"

Tokar forcefully threw away the laser gun that had run out of power, and kicked the nearest female male-pro-male insect a few times in a fit of rage.

"Boss, what should we do with these insects?"

Tokar glared at them menacingly: "Take them back and take good care of them. Let them enjoy the first-class treatment of our Imperial Guard!"

"understand!"

The soldier readily agreed, waved for the insects to take them all into custody, and headed towards the dungeon.

Tokar glanced gravely at the smoke-filled central square and quickly gave orders: "Teams one and two, continue the search. Teams three and four, come back with me to provide support."

"Yes."

Tokar flapped its wings, leading a neat line of female insects past.

the other side.

Barlow split into three groups, hiding himself among them, and disappeared from the ground in an instant, burrowing into the underground more than twenty levels.

That place was once the home of Longkoda's ancestors, and very few insects know about it.

Although the underground cavern looks dilapidated, it is very large. In the past, in order to ensure the safety of the base, countless branch paths were opened, and traps were set in each dead end. If an unfamiliar insect tries to break in, it will mostly end up in a dead end.

Barlow silently led the way, and after passing through several tunnel checkpoints, the view gradually opened up.

Their uprising was sudden, and they currently only have two floors available for use. Although it is not much, the area is clearly divided: one floor for daily activities and one floor for living.

Barlow didn't stop and walked straight into the conference room, with the insects behind him exchanging glances and following him.

After ensuring his safety, he gripped the table and let out a series of excruciating coughs. The violent tremors had damaged his lungs and internal organs; even gentle breathing was excruciatingly painful, and the intense feeling of suffocation almost caused him to collapse, but the young female insect beside him caught him with lightning speed.

"General, how are you feeling?" Ellie asked worriedly.

He was once a student of Balo, from the same family, with the same beliefs, and swore to be loyal to the male insects to the death. So when Yalta launched the uprising, he stood firmly with the male insect protection party.

Barlow clutched his clothes tightly, his blood churning violently. He pursed his lips, glancing at the familiar female insects behind him, but managed to suppress his emotions completely.

Although the insects here were all his former subordinates and students, the conditions were harsh now, unlike the carefree lives of the female insects above. He couldn't be sure if they might develop disloyal intentions, so he dared not trust them completely.

Barlow raised his wrinkled hand and waved, then walked to the chair and sat down, his back ramrod straight. He tried his best to control his tone and hide his weakness: "I'm fine, please sit down."

"General, what are our plans going forward?"

One of the female insects asked.

Barlow pondered for a moment: "Although it did not proceed as planned, the demonstration has achieved its effect. Even if Yalta had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed from such an offensive. Let's hold back for now."

The female insect was puzzled: "Why not take advantage of this opportunity to press our advantage?"

"Yalta's success was mainly due to the support of most of the nobles in Longkoda. Even if we were to regain power now, it would cause dissatisfaction among those nobles and might backfire."

Barlow had always disliked dealing with nobles, and now he disliked it even more.

However, they are all acting out of selfish desires, yet they insist on using the slogan of 'equal rights'.

The female insect is a staunch supporter of males, exhibiting an abnormal obsession with them.

He was clearly dissatisfied with the general's answer, his brow furrowed: "Most of the male insects are currently being kept in captivity. If we don't take action, they may not be able to withstand the environment..."

Barlow waved his hand, interrupting him: "Bark, I understand your concerns, but male insects aren't as fragile as you think." He coughed lightly a few times, covering his mouth, and turned to look at Ellie: "What's the reply from Morbis?"

Ellie: "I have contacted Admiral Carter and reported the Yalta uprising and the massacre of male insects. Admiral Carter told us to wait for news."

Barlow lowered his head, thinking that these old fogies on the capital planet clearly didn't believe them.

But the facts speak for themselves, and he wasn't in a hurry.

“Continue to follow up. Longkoda is special. The number of male insects is less than one-fifth of that of other tribes. The existence of male insects is absolutely necessary for us, so we must obtain the support of the Pricast royal family and take back sovereignty in a natural way.”

Ellie naturally understood the importance of the male insect, but the thought of those severed limbs and remains still made her extremely sad.

He was willing to support the male insects, but he didn't want to kill his own kind, let alone those who had once fought alongside him.

"General, do we really have to do this?"

Barlow's face darkened: "What are you trying to say?"

Eli and Yalta were classmates and from the same school, and they had even gone on missions together in the past, so their relationship wasn't too bad.

"Do we really have to resort to arms against them?"

Barlow scoffed: "Do you think this is a good time to sit down and have a proper conversation?"

Ellie rubbed his thumb against the quantum computer, looking slightly hesitant. Inside were the newly introduced punishments and male insect protection laws.

He had studied the two bills carefully at the time, and when he first saw that male and female crimes were treated equally, he was taken aback.

The female insects are numerous and powerful, and given the insect race's inherently violent nature, severe punishment for wrongdoing is inevitable.

Given how rare male insects are, a single mistake could cost them their lives. What future does Longkoda have?

So at first he also scoffed at this law, but in fact it was not. If combined with the male insect protection law, it was a completely different story.

Male insects, even under severe punishment, have many privileges and ways to be pardoned. Unless they have committed an unforgivable mistake, such as abusing or killing female insects, insect eggs, or offspring, which involve serious matters of life, they can generally be granted a suspended sentence.

In this way, Longkoda can achieve more sustainable development.

After all, he also believed that the way male insects treated female insects was wrong.

Every insect should have its own rights, instead of being biased towards one side without any bottom line.

Because of its remote location, even during the Star Calendar era, the network was extremely difficult to connect to in such an extreme climate. They currently only have an internal local area network for the daily entertainment of the insectoid people.

The power to release all information rests with the ruling class. The content that the insect people can see has been carefully selected, and only those high-ranking insects are willing to let them see it.

Compared to other tribes on the Zerg continent, the Zerg in the far north have been isolated for far too long.

Most of the information they receive comes from the older female insects, who pass on the feudal ideas accumulated from generation to generation to the newborn.

This kind of Longkoda is a mistake in itself.

In the end, Elie decided to send the new bill to Barlow's account via email, saying sincerely, "General, this is the new policy of Longkoda and the male insect protection law. Please take a look. I have carefully read every rule and think it is feasible."

Barlow stared blankly at his young nephew, making no move.

After a long pause, he chuckled softly, "Ellie, you want to betray us?"

Ellie quickly explained, "How could the general have such an idea? I just think we should develop Lonkoda in a better way. This kind of war can't bring us any glory."

“All the female insects here have sworn to protect the male insects with their lives. Now that they are in dire straits, we should be even more determined to uphold the promise we made!”

Ellie was even more puzzled: "Isn't our support for male insects fundamentally for the better development of Longkoda? Yalta's slaughter of male insects was indeed wrong, but the new decree is very beneficial to both male and female insects. Why are you unwilling to take a moment to look at it?"

Barlow slammed his hand on the table: "Yalta is a madman! Eli, I know you followed him for a few days, but it's too late for you to back out of this path!"

Ellie wanted to continue arguing, but Barlow raised his hand to stop her: "No need to say more. Our support for the male insects and Yalta is completely contrary to our beliefs. You were born into the insect race, so don't have any naive dreams. There is no such thing as 'equal rights.' The numbers have already determined everything. This is the choice made by the insect god, and we can only accept our fate!"

"But......"

"Shut up!"

Ellie had no choice but to give up.

Barlow glared at him, then swept his gaze over every female insect present and coldly ordered, "Bark, take stock of the losses and casualties from this raid, and provide condolences and compensation to the families of the deceased female insects."

"Yes, General."

"I'm a bit tired. We'll hold the deployment meeting after 10 p.m.

The female insects gave a military salute in unison: "Yes, sir!"

Ellie knew how stubborn the old female insect was, so in the end she had no choice but to go out with her.

After all the insects left, Barlow returned to his room, then suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, stumbled open the bedside drawer, took out a syringe, injected it, and then collapsed onto the bed.

In less than three minutes, his previously bloodless face regained its color, and the wounds on his body began to heal at a visible speed.

He carefully put the needles away, glanced at the remaining amount in the drawer—five needles left…

Time is running out; we must speed things up.

* *

The once warm sun was obscured by thick clouds, and the north wind howled, bringing with it a renewed onslaught of snow.

The area in front of the Palace of Aritus was a scene of utter devastation. The altar was destroyed, the central square was blasted into a deep crater, and there were limbs and congealed flesh scattered everywhere...

The surviving female insects stood on the city wall, watching expressionlessly as the maintenance team cleaned up the scene. Suddenly, someone shouted, "I'll help!"

The female insect leaped down from the city wall.

Everyone was suddenly awakened and began to flap their wings.

"Together!"

"I'm coming too!"

"I'm here to help too!"

In any case, all those innocent insects that died must be sent home.

The center of the square was suddenly filled with insects carrying things, which greatly increased efficiency, but the sound of sorrow also grew louder.

“Ugh—my little bug…this is my little bug…”

In the deep pit, a female insect, her face filled with despair, hugged a piece of bloody, mangled flesh tightly to her chest, crying until she was hoarse.

Even if it had lost its shape, even if only bits of flesh and bone remained, he could still recognize it as his child, his only insect offspring...

The female insect, who had previously laid eggs, couldn't bear to see such a scene either. She vigorously wiped her face and cursed, "These damned rebels, they definitely chose this day on purpose! If I ever run into them again, I'll risk my life to kill a few of them!"

"Damn it! How could they do that!"

"I'll haunt them even as a ghost!"

"Lonkoda will never go back to the past!"

"Those dark days are over! We will never compromise!"

"Never compromise!"

"Fight the rebels to the very end!"

"Fight to the end!"

At this moment, all the female insects were united as never before.

They were fearless in the face of their own lives, yet they could not bear to watch any small life perish.

Because of the lack of males, there are far too few newborns in Longkoda.

If given a choice, no female insect would willingly initiate a war.

Most of them will never have their own offspring in their lifetime, but reproduction is the instinct of female insects.

The insect god has a favorite, and his followers are helpless against it.

In this harsh world, I tried to find a way to survive, but now I'm still at my wit's end...

Covered in blood, Yan Kai slumped down at the foot of the city wall, huddled together, his expression blank.

His gaze fell on a transparent scale he was tightly clutching in his hand. It was about the size of his palm, perfectly round, and had completely lost its original color.

That was the last thing Yalta gave him.

Yan Kai tilted his head slightly, and for some reason burst into laughter as he looked at it.

It's as if he's possessed, gone mad.

In this land recently ravaged by death, he laughed wildly and arrogantly, yet not a single insect dared to approach or criticize him.

Because that expression was so bitter, so very bitter, large tears rolled down like broken beads, covering her face and mixing with the bright red blood.

Feeling pathetic and desperate.

Yan Kai sobbed until he almost choked, but he just couldn't stop.

He had too much frustration in his heart.

From the first day he arrived here until now, this place and that female insect have repeatedly challenged his understanding and bottom line.

He didn't hate Yalta in the past.

Because this era shows no tolerance for any female insect.

As an outsider, Yan Kai, even though he was injured, never thought of revenge; he only wanted to leave.

But now he hates Yalta.

Because of this feeling I can't let go of...

If his love stemmed from hatred, then...

Yan Kai dared not think any further, gripping the scales in his hand tightly, not loosening his grip even a fraction of an inch, despite the sharp edges cutting his palm and drawing blood...
