A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

He's really cute. Gao Tian thought to himself.

If you go with him, at least he will try his best to protect you and keep you alive.

He didn't understand these things before, and he never had any self-awareness as an alpha. He didn't know why his alpha comrades who longed for omegas were so possessive of omegas.

He once thought that alphas were crazy, that their genes were full of violent factors, that they were abnormal humans, and that they had a genetic defect.

I understand it a little now, but it's hard to put into words.

It turns out that omega is like sunlight to alpha. It's not a necessity, and a person won't die without it, but it makes people feel that they need it to have meaning in life.

.......

Gao Tian found a relatively secluded boulder mountain, used the phase gun in bombardment mode to open a cave, spread his coat on a large rock inside the cave, and pulled Lan to sit down.

Lan looked around the cave, her head bobbing in wonder.

Gao Tian lowered his head and approached him, encircling him in his arms, and said, "I'm going to hunt for water. You stay here and hide well, don't run around, okay?"

Lan didn't understand and looked completely bewildered.

Gao Tian made a throat-slitting gesture, like hunting; then he made a drinking gesture, like water; he made a walking gesture with two fingers, like "Oh my god"; then he pointed to the stone where Lan was sitting, like "You, sit here."

Lan opened her beautiful blue eyes and understood something else—

Oh! Let me wait here while he goes to get water. If anything comes along, he'll slit its throat and kill it!

He grabbed Gao Tian and began trying to convey with his eyes that even if it wasn't possible, he wanted to go with him.

His dignity as a female insect does not allow him, when healthy, to sit in the shelter and let the male insect go out alone to find supplies.

Gao Tian was pulled back by him, not knowing what he was going to do.

Lan also made a walking gesture with two fingers: "I'll go."

Gao Tian looked into his eyes and understood, but said, "No."

After so many days, Lan had learned some basic vocabulary. He knew what the word "no" meant, and he stubbornly tugged at Gao Tian's sleeve, not letting him leave.

Gao Tian began trying to explain to him, "It's dangerous outside."

Blue remained motionless.

He acted as if he was determined to follow her no matter what, and wouldn't let her leave.

Gao Tian asked helplessly, "You're going too?"

Considering the context, Lan understood what he meant. He nodded and prepared to go.

His eyes shone like crystals in the sunlight.

He looked very serious.

cute.

Gao Tian smiled, but still said, "No."

Lan frowned, a little displeased, and tugged at him slightly.

Gao Tian could tell he was a little angry, but he still refused him: "No means no, no matter what you say."

The wilderness here presents different climates in different regions. Some areas are humid and hot, with lush vegetation everywhere; some places are like the Gobi Desert, dry and desolate, with strong winds whipping up sandstorms; and some areas resemble the grasslands, open and flat, with grasses stretching to the horizon. The vegetation and climate are very diverse, like the Congo rainforest, the northwestern Gobi Desert, and the African savanna mixed together in one area.

This area is an arid wasteland, and the jungle is far away on the other side. Finding water might be a long journey, and he couldn't take Lan with him.

The cave entrance carved out behind the giant rock mountain is well hidden, making it a relatively safe place.

Gao Tian said, "You stay here. That's my order."

Lan was really angry.

How could this male be so ungrateful!

Gao Tian squatted down and coaxed him, "I'm just going to find a water source, it's not dangerous. It's just a bit far. I'll be right back, you stay here and wait for me, okay? Okay?"

"No!" Lan glared at him angrily. "You...you..."

He was trying to say, "I think you don't realize how powerful the male insects are. The insects will eat you!"

But the words caught in his throat: Gao Tian's fighting power...

He thought of the praying mantis, its eyes wide with rage, single-handedly killed by a beam of light, and then of the prey he had hunted alone in the high sky during the days he was in a weakened state...

Hmm... Takagi's fighting strength...

He hesitated.

Gao Tian noticed his wavering, grabbed his hand, and shook it.

Her fingers were slender and long, and the back of her hand felt warm and smooth to the touch, like a piece of soft jade.

Gao Tian started laughing again.

Lan initially had no idea that she was being taken advantage of, but his inexplicable laughter made her feel uneasy.

Suddenly realizing that the male insect had touched her hand, she disgustedly shook off his hand and sat down on the other side, a little further away from him.

Males and females shouldn't touch each other, damn it, I almost got taken advantage of by this male insect.

Gao Tianchong waved to him, "Then I'm leaving."

"Hmph." Lan snorted and turned to the other side.

Seeing that Lan had been calmed down, Gao Tian took out his single skateboard and flew directly out of the hole.

This area is a plain similar to the African savanna, with a very wide field of vision and almost no flying insectoids, so you can fly directly without fear of being attacked.

Star 65 has a very rich variety of species and a great many animals, so there's no rush to find prey, but water can be a bit of a problem.

After flying for a while without seeing any water, Gao Tian sensed something was wrong, so he landed and picked up a clump of grass to examine it.

The grass leaves were half-dried but not withered, only the stems were still relatively green. The roots were all dry soil, with few new roots, and the roots were covered with old bark.

It hasn't rained in a long time, and there's simply no water source in this area.

Gao Tian dropped the turf he was holding, jumped onto his skateboard, and flew straight towards the rainforest area.

There are no water sources in the plains, and forget about the Gobi Desert. The only place with a better chance of finding clean water is the rainforest.

If all else fails, since the rainforest has a high density of plants, the sap of many plants is drinkable.

Also, the rainforest is an environment favored by the Zerg, and Gao Tian wants to take advantage of the time when Lan isn't around to plow through the rainforest region.

As I said before, my teammates are lovely, but I still have to go to work.

As soon as Gao Tian entered the rainforest area, he immediately unleashed his light blade.

Countless insectoids, hissing in alarm, rose from beneath the broad leaves of the rainforest plants and pounced on him.

......

On the other side, Lan sat in the stone cave, sulking.

If you endure it for a while, you'll feel more and more cheated; if you back down, you'll feel angrier and angrier.

Was the prince of the insect kingdom being manipulated by this male insect?

But it seems like he was doing it for my own good...

But he's still using PUA on me! I'm a top-tier female, not some weak little bug!

It's strange, I can't describe it, it feels like I was being treated like a male insect.

(It was only much later that he learned this feeling was called "being pampered by a wife.")

The blue-faced creature looked strange; it was unclear what the male insect wanted to do.

......

Just as Lan was brooding over her thoughts, the giant stone cave suddenly shook!

"?" Blue peeked out and found a group of ugly, hairless rhinoceroses with long noses.

They seemed to be treating the giant rock, from which the sky had carved out a hole, as a toy, constantly rubbing against it. The grime from their rough surfaces fell in rustling motions, and their massive bodies caused the rock to shake violently, creating a misty haze at the cave entrance.

Lan sat inside the stone cave, being jostled around as if she were on a vibrating machine.

numb.

Don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart, it's no big deal. Animals are just rubbing against rocks, it's normal. There's no point in arguing with a bunch of mindless beasts...

His mental preparation came to an abrupt halt when the herd of long-nosed rhinoceroses discovered him in the cave and tried to use their trunks to overturn the rock and pull him out.

Lan sneered, and her fingers instantly transformed into half-insects as she extended them.

As he spread his wings, huge, electric blue eye patterns appeared on his snow-white wings, gleaming menacingly.

The male insects were one thing, but what were these hairless beasts anyway, daring to try and bully him?

They all have to die.

His crown prince said that all the beasts that appeared before him today must die.

.......

In the rainforest.

Gao Tian washed away the insects and blood from his body at the water source he discovered.

The sheer number of insects killed was overwhelming; the stench of the insectoid blood drove back all living creatures within a three-kilometer radius.

At the water source, there was only dense jungle, icy pool water, and full chest and abdominal muscles gleaming in the sunlight.

Gao Tianbian soaked in the water while looking at a row of banana plants by the water source.

That was deliberately preserved during the chaos of battle.

This banana plant is currently in bloom, with large flowers and slender flower stems full of nectar. A bottle can be extracted by inserting a tube into the flower. It has been tested and found to be non-toxic. The flowers are also edible.

It's sweet; Lan should like it.
