The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

Around two or three in the afternoon, the two insects prepared to go home.

After leaving the military headquarters, Bourne walked ahead, his pace quick, as if he were in a hurry to do something.

Gu Heng, lagging behind, looked at the back of his head and asked, "Where are you going later?"

Byrne turned to the bug behind him and said, "There's a parent-child activity in Anluo's class this morning and afternoon. I'm going to participate later."

Bourne had never been to Anlo's school before, and to avoid getting lost or not being able to find his class, he planned to go there a while in advance.

"So that's how it is." Gu Heng suddenly realized.

It seemed as if a fleeting shadow streaked across the sky.

Gu Heng exclaimed in surprise, but when he looked ahead again, he saw nothing.

Bourne turned and looked at him questioningly. "What's wrong?"

Gu Heng paused for three seconds, then hesitated before asking, "Did you just see a white dumpling?"

He added, "Right in the air...the kind that looks very hairy."

After hearing Gu Heng's description, Bourne frowned, turned his head to look ahead, and indeed saw nothing.

He said, "No, I didn't see anything."

There was nothing white in the air.

Gu Heng calmly withdrew his gaze. "Perhaps I saw it wrong."

Byrne agreed, "You must be seeing things."

At a corner, the two insects separated.

Gu Heng didn't pilot the aircraft today, and there were neither too many nor too few insects on the way back.

Passing by a store, Gu Heng went in and bought some things, then came out carrying the bags.

As he walked, the number of insects decreased, indicating that Gu Heng was almost home.

There are rows of road poles along the roadside.

Gu Heng, with his sharp eyes, spotted an insect leaning against a roadside pole ahead, half-bent over, looking as if it were uncomfortable.

Gu Heng walked over, but stopped two steps away from the insect. He asked, "Are you alright?"

Gu Heng guessed, reaching into his bag as he did so, "If you have low blood sugar, I have some sugar here."

"Are you pregnant? Is your stomach upset?"

Gu Heng paused in his hand movements as he noticed the female insect's slightly swollen abdomen.

"……no."

A slightly hoarse voice rang out, much like the sound of rough sand rubbing against each other.

Gu Heng frowned. What do you mean, "not"?

The female insect's words were ambiguous, preventing Gu Heng from understanding them immediately.

Soon, the questions Gu Heng wanted to ask were stuck in his throat, because he saw the female insect's eyes.

The female insect raised its head at some point, allowing Gu Heng to see its distinctive black eyes more clearly.

Wait, black...

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes, only then noticing the place he had been ignoring.

The female insect also has black hair.

Since arriving in the Zerg, Gu Heng has not seen anyone with the same hair color as him.

Perhaps sensing Gu Heng's puzzlement and surprise, the pregnant female spoke up, "Does this look familiar?"

He spoke those few words very slowly, as if intentionally letting Gu Heng hear every syllable clearly.

The female insect's words were full of profound meaning, which stirred a subtle feeling in Gu Heng's heart.

"What do you mean?"

The female insect didn't answer Gu Heng's question; instead, he asked, "Do you want to go home?"

Gu Heng unconsciously tightened his grip on the bag. "My home is right here."

The female insect suddenly laughed. "Really?"

"Where are your father, mother, and sister? You've come all this way, and you've already forgotten your closest relatives?"

With a thud, the bag in Gu Heng's hand fell to the ground, making a dull thud.

He didn't forget...

Gu Heng's previously wary gaze became extremely complex at this moment. He slowly uttered, "Who exactly are you...?"

"Who I am is not important," the female insect said, her face no longer showing any distress. "What's important is that I can take you home."

go home……

The sound seemed to come from afar, stirring up emotions that Gu Heng had suppressed in his heart for a long time.

His lips were pressed tightly together, and he remained silent for a long time.

Gu Heng met those dark eyes that were exactly like his own, and his intuition told him that this insect really had a way to get him home.

If this choice had been made in the past, Gu Heng would have chosen "go home" without hesitation.

Go back to where he belongs.

but……

He now has someone to care about.

A figure involuntarily surfaced in Gu Heng's mind.

The silver-haired, golden-eyed female soldier lay on the bed, her features gentle, her hand resting on her slightly protruding belly.

There, are their insect offspring.

The female insect seemed utterly bewildered. "What are you still hesitating about? Have you really started to consider this place your home after staying here for so long? You should go back to where you belong."

After speaking for a while, his voice lowered again, "Forget it, it was my mistake to begin with, I might as well go all the way."

Seeing him muttering to himself, Gu Heng sensed something was wrong and asked, "What?"

The 'insect' in front of him gave him no time to think.

Those dark eyes seemed to contain a bottomless vortex, capable of completely sucking in insects.

Then, it was swallowed whole.

A white light flashed by extremely quickly.

Before Gu Heng could speak again, he lost consciousness.

"drop--"

“Ding Di—”

Four-wheeled vehicles drive on the road, black and white, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Another car honked its horn. Gu Heng suppressed the complex emotions in his chest and followed the people across the street.

He walked to a corner and took in the familiar yet unfamiliar scene.

Skyscrapers and bustling traffic.

Cars are now running on the roads, and no aircraft can be seen with the naked eye anymore.

All of this tells Gu Heng that he has returned to Earth, and this place is no longer... inhabited by the Zerg.

Where is that strange 'pregnant female'?

Gu Heng looked around but didn't find the face that had briefly been etched into his mind, so he had to give up his idea of ​​finding the 'insect' to ask for clarification.

Gu Heng is currently penniless; to be precise, he has no currency on him.

The star card in his pocket had become a useless card here.

Gu Heng had no choice but to walk back, following the path he remembered, which took him a full hour.

Gu Heng stood at the bottom of the residential area for a long time before deciding to go up. He wondered if his family would be startled by his sudden reappearance after disappearing for so long.

When Gu Heng reached the door, he suddenly felt a pang of homesickness and hesitated. His hand landed on the door, and after a long while, he slowly knocked a few times.

For a few seconds, Gu Heng stared at the closed door, wondering what kind of expression the person inside would have when they saw him.

His hands, hanging by his sides, tightened slightly, clearly indicating his nervousness and unease.

The door was eventually opened.

The person who opened the door was her younger sister, Gu Qinrui.

Before Gu Heng could speak, the person inside exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, didn't you go to work today? Why are you home so early?"

Gu Heng stood there dumbfounded, "What...?"

A chill ran up his spine.

His fingertips were stiff.
