The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 229 Okay, you're a good girl...

Ling Yi pondered to himself that he still had about twenty defensive cards left in his backpack after using them up.

This is because his backpack has limited capacity; after packing other weapons and items, he can't fit too much in.

There are fifteen attack-type cards, but only four or five cards each of the disguise or concealment types.

But that's all the amount he can fit in his backpack.

When Qi Min gave it to her, he remarked that it would have been great if some cards weren't restricted to certain player identities.

It can only be used by the player who obtains the card, and cannot be unbound or gifted. He also has two or three rare offensive cards that he wants to transfer to him.

Qi Min had made ample preparations and plans to prevent Ling Yi from encountering any danger.

However, Ling Yi was originally a female soldier, and her skills were not bad. She also had specially prepared energy-type weapons by her side.

So far, apart from some defensive cards being used, the others have been largely unused.

After all, Ling Yi is more familiar with using weapons than cards.

Therefore, many times, people will subconsciously use the energy-type weapons they carry, rather than the card items specifically for use in dungeons.

However, at this point, simply relying on card defense is clearly not a long-term solution.

The situation in this instance, aside from the system notification they heard when they first entered, was as follows.

Beyond that, there were no other clues or hints. It was so quiet that it seemed as if this was just a new place they had discovered while on a mission.

Aside from the various strange scenes and bizarre creatures, there were only these tiny figures resembling larvae.

There were no quest prompts, no rules to follow like those in the castle, and no NPCs resembling female and male insects, as Qi Min mentioned.

There was only constant fleeing, moving, and exploring new locations, with no clues to ponder or anyone to ask.

So far, they have been wandering around like a headless mosquito, unable to find a fixed direction or plan.

This is why Chen Xuan wanted him to take the risk and find a breakthrough from these dangerous larvae.

"Little larvae, since you say I'm your older brother, can you listen to me? Now, I want to help you change your clothes. Can you put them on obediently?"

Ling Yi knelt on one knee with the leg that allowed him to move freely, his gaze and tone seemingly sincere yet coaxing, trying to look directly at the larva, the only one with whom he could have a normal conversation.

Perhaps it was because Ling Yi's gaze was fixed on the larva standing in front of him.

So much so that the larva that Ling Yi first held in his arms seemed to feel ignored, and tugged at Ling Yi's clothes, trying to get his attention, and spoke up.

"Mmm, mmm, good boy, Chuan... wear it!"

The larva in his arms had soft eyebrows and eyes, looking at Ling Yi with focused and clear eyes, its face full of harmlessness and obedience.

It seems to imply that she is being obedient and willing to wear it.

This made Ling Yi pause for a moment as he looked down, a slightly strange feeling rising in his heart.

The feigned sincerity in his eyes softened, revealing a genuine gentleness.

"Okay, be good..."

Ling Yi responded softly to his words, receiving a very obvious smile in return, her eyes crinkling with delight.

The child's innocent and soft face suddenly broke into such a bright and happy smile that anyone who didn't know the situation couldn't help but feel their heart soften.

Ling Yi didn't know what was wrong with him; he had been constantly aware of their danger.

But seeing the larva raise such a tender smile, my heart still softened a little.

To avoid softening his heart and falling for it, Ling Yi quickly looked away and looked at the larva in front of him and the other two who were silent.

They didn't seem to react much to what the smallest larva in their arms was saying.

He then took out four disposable thermal restraint suits from his backpack to provide to the female soldiers on missions, the kind they could use in the wild.

This garment has many functions; when not unfolded, it appears as a square item folded into the size of a handkerchief.

Once opened and worn, it automatically adjusts its size to fit the wearer perfectly.

It can also simulate the wearer's ideal body temperature based on the surrounding environment.

However, its most impressive feature is its ability to install miniature drug devices, capable of holding four different types of antidotes needed for wilderness expeditions.

It can remove most of the biological toxins that may be encountered in the wild.

Although it cannot be used a second time after use, it can be recycled and put back into manufacturing.

It can be said that this is an essential item for the military in field operations.

Its cost is not low, and apart from some special military units, anyone who wants to use it must obtain approval from above before they can receive it.

However, Ling Yi and Chen Xuan used to frequent various military units that needed to travel to the outside world, which is why they had their own special way of doing things.

As soon as Ling Yi took the item out, the smallest larva in his arms curiously reached out.

Ling Yi had no choice but to give him one first, and then took another one, opened it, and helped him put it on gently but quickly.

The larva, now dressed, wore an even happier smile, its eyes crinkling as if it had received a wonderful gift.

The sight caused a hint of unease to well up in Ling Yi's lowered eyes.

If only these larvae weren't in this strange world, and would always remain harmless and obedient.

He wouldn't be as wary and defensive towards them as Chen Xuan was.

There are also orphanages in the Zerg society. Some larvae whose female fathers died early and whose male fathers grew old and died "accidentally" are sent there because there are no Zerg to take them over.

Of course, there are also some female insects or sub-females who have no assets but become pregnant for no reason. When the testing agency finds out that they are carrying insect eggs, they will take them in.

They will only be able to return to normal life after they successfully lay the eggs and receive a limited sum of money.

The eggs they lay are sent to orphanages to be raised together with other larvae.

Of course, there will definitely be no male larvae among them, because they are tested to distinguish their sex when they are still eggs.

If the egg is an unclaimed male larva, it will be taken in by a male insect protection organization and raised with government funds until it reaches adulthood and has its own female larva.

Therefore, even though the protection rules for larvae are very strict, they are only specifically for male larvae.
