After being transformed into a random male beetle

Based on the accomplice's confession, the court discovered the illegal laboratory.

When they arrived there, all that remained was a pile of documents being burned and destroyed on-site, along with the tortured test subjects and the researchers who hadn't managed to escape.

When Bolton arrived at the scene, the court officials blocked him and other onlookers from entering.

"Bolton, what are you doing here?"

Lai Chong sounded very surprised.

Bolton looked in the direction of the sound and saw a female soldier who had saved him when he was searching for samples earlier.

Seeing the male insect looking over in a daze, Cox smiled and asked, "Have you found your experimental sample yet?"

Bolton nodded: "It's been found."

As they were talking, a female soldier ran over and said something to Cox. After listening, Cox apologized to the male: "Sorry, Bolton, I have something to do, so I'll have to leave now. I hope we can talk again next time."

Soon, the two female soldiers disappeared from Bolton's sight.

However, to everyone's surprise, Tumur, who had been wanted for a long time, hid in Ligdon's house.

Xi Yun spent half a month getting to the place where Edwin was last seen.

Located in a remote galaxy, this place has dry air and unusually high daily temperatures, and is only inhabited by some heat-loving insects.

After replenishing his water supply, Xi Yun headed towards the direction he had sensed.

Not far away, several hikers posted their newly taken selfies online.

"Wow, you guys are really amazing! I remember this place is pretty far away, and there's nothing fun about it. What are you going there for?"

"The 'Around the Stars' challenge award is absolutely yours! I'm awarding it to you now, and I hope you'll keep up the good work."

"Wow, you guys beat me to it! Send me your location and I'll come find you right away."

"Hey, I live here. The scenery here is pretty nice. You guys should come and try it if you have the chance."

"Wait, @KuanResort, Base No. 2, Today's Idiot, who is that bug behind you guys in your photos? His profile is absolutely killer, hehe."

"No, you upstairs netizen, you have a sharp eye! Now that you mention it, I've looked at the photo again more carefully. That creepy creature is amazing! It's crawling in the shadows! I want its name right now!"

"Could they be indigenous people?"

"Online debunking: As far as I know, there are no handsome insects on our planet."

"I feel inexplicably sorry for the netizen upstairs for three seconds, hahaha."

"I've made up my mind. From now on, he will be my second Venus."

"Um... if I may ask, who was the first one?"

"The first one is naturally my idol, Admiral Edvy, hehe, hehehehe. They're all mine, they're all mine."

"Holy crap, what's wrong with those guys up there? They've gone completely mad!"

The netizens left passionate comments under the photo, but even those who recognized the male insect were unable to identify Xi Yun.

Because they felt that at this moment, the male insect should still be on the central star, rather than running alone to a planet with fewer insects.

The insect in the photo may only look somewhat similar to Xi Yunxiongzi because of the angle.

Near a distant wormhole floats a pile of broken spacecraft debris, weightless in space, appearing from afar like an amorphous miniature star belt.

Edvy lay curled up in the escape pod, eyes closed, unconscious. Beneath him lay an endless, silent abyss tinged with faint light.

When Xi Yun piloted his aircraft from another wormhole jump point, this was the scene he saw.

His heart was pounding violently in his chest, and the veins on his hands were bulging.

Xi Yun cautiously approached and slowly retrieved the escape pod where Edvi was located.

This process is extremely arduous and requires complete concentration; the slightest carelessness could cause the escape pod to drift away.

After being successfully salvaged, Xi Yun activated the autopilot mode and approached the escape pod.

He found the button to open it and pressed it. The escape pod quickly retracted, revealing the insects inside.

Seeing Edwin appear before him, Xi Yun pushed the movable treatment pod over and gently placed Edwin inside.

He dared not make any big movements, afraid that he might accidentally touch some unknown wound on Edvy's body and cause secondary injury.

Xi Yun slowly pressed his head against the outer shell of the treatment pod and exhaled a breath of stale air, placing his trembling hand on it as well.

The universe sensed the presence of the spacecraft, and he sensed the presence of Edvy.

It was pitch black all around, and Edvy had no idea how long he had been wandering aimlessly.

He seemed to have forgotten something, paused for a moment, and then continued walking. Edvi felt that something was waiting for him ahead.

Soon, a light finally appeared ahead. Edvi walked over and saw Xi Yun's face as he passed through the light.

A series of faint, rustling sounds reached Edvy's ears, which he found very noisy.

"How much longer until the general wakes up?"

"I don't know, but the doctor said that all of the general's indicators are normal, so there shouldn't be any problem. Now we can proceed with the next examination once the general wakes up."

Garcia lowered his head after hearing Brisak's words.

The general wouldn't have fallen into the black hole if it weren't for saving him.

Seeing his expression, Brisak knew that the bug was blaming himself again, and comforted him, "Don't think about it so much, the general will definitely wake up."

"Hey, the general's hand seems to have moved! Did you see it?" Garcia excitedly patted the bug's shoulder next to him.

Brisak tried his best to ignore the force of the pat on the shoulder and shifted his gaze to the treatment pod in front of him.

The fingers that were originally placed on his side twitched involuntarily, and Brisak was surprised and immediately went to call for the doctor.

Upon learning that Edwin was about to wake up, Xi Yun rushed to the ward, having only been resting for half an hour.

When Xi Yun knocked on the door and went in, he saw a bunch of insects blocking his way.

His heart pounded, and he walked stiffly over. Peeking through the gap, he saw that Edvy had already sat up in the treatment pod.

One of the medical worms pulled over the testing device next to him and clipped it to Edvy's hand, while another medical worm asked Edvy how he was feeling.

When faced with questions about medicine and insects, Adelman answered with ease.

Suddenly, the two insects made eye contact, and Edwin was momentarily stunned.

After the doctor finished examining them and confirmed that there were no problems, he kindly gave the time to the two of them.

Garcia and Brisak tactfully followed the doctor away.

The door to the room opened and then closed again.

"How are you feeling now?"

The two insects stared at each other for a long time, and Xi Yun only realized that his voice was hoarse when he finally spoke.

Edvi was startled by the male insect's voice: "Why does your voice sound like that?"

"It's alright." Looking at the awakened insect, Xi Yun cleared his throat and asked considerately, "Would you like some water?"

"Hmm." Edvi nodded as he was transferred from the treatment pod to the bed.
