[Zerg] After being reborn as a male Zergling, he refused to be a kept man.

After Zhuang Nian kicked the egg into the trash can, he didn't bother with it anymore.

He brought back a wide variety of fruits. Before tasting them, he used instruments to test them for poison. After tasting them, he found that each fruit was large, plump, and sweet.

Even though Zhuang Nian didn't have a strong appetite, he was extremely satisfied at this moment.

When you put the fruit in your mouth, your mouth waters, and the rich fruity aroma rushes to your taste buds along your tongue. Your stomach, which has been suffering from poisoning for months, finally comes back to life.

Zhuang Nian threw the Zerg-specific dark fruit from the refrigerator into the trash can, noticing that the egg hadn't been removed. After pressing the one-button recycling button, the trash can beeped with an alarm.

Please be careful, please be careful.

Zhuang Nian thought the egg was the culprit, so he grabbed an iron rod and poked the egg deeper into the tunnel. He closed the lid and pressed the button again, but it still didn't work.

Zhuang Nian was puzzled. He looked down at the instructions and precautions on the trash can and guessed that the egg was a living being and could not be handled through the trash can. He could only take the egg out by wearing gloves.

— Frown and hold your breath as you watch it.

The egg was small, dark and ugly, with golden patterns on it. He didn't know what kind of creature it was. In Zhuang Nian's knowledge, no creature on Earth had the ability to lay such an ugly egg.

And looking at the combination of black and gold, is it a hybrid?

Zhuang Nian didn't know what to do with the egg for a moment. Hearing the wind rustling the leaves, he weighed the egg in his hand, found a suitable angle, and tossed it towards the big tree outside the window, like throwing a basketball, and landed the ugly egg on a branch.

The egg wobbled, then fell to the ground with a thud, without breaking. It rolled onto the stone steps by the door, and like a roly-poly toy, it bowed pitifully to the black-haired male insect inside, begging to be taken in.

Zhuang Nian glanced at the tree, then at the egg, and thought it was unsafe to put the egg on the tree; he didn't want it to fall and hit him.

He opened the door, kicked the egg into the stream in front of the door with his long leg, then put on a hat and mask and went out.

-

A black sedan sped from the end of the long street, executed a beautiful drift, and came to a stop in front of the property registration building.

The female receptionist looked surprised, thinking to herself, "What era are we living in? There are still insects so poor they're using such outdated means of transportation as cars on the main planet." She adjusted her smile and went to greet her, only to see...

The car door opened, and a tall, straight-looking male insect with black hair stepped out. He was so tall that the sub-female had to tilt her head slightly to see his cool, aloof features hidden under his hat brim. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Lord Zhuang Nian?!"

Zhuang Nian nodded slightly and went inside to explain his purpose: "I bought an inferior planet on the black market a few days ago. I really like it and want to complete the formalities."

As the name suggests, the black market involves shady transactions. Things like buying and selling planets are either tax evasion or shady dealings, belonging to the gray industry chain, and are the target of the police's crackdown.

The planet Zhuang Nian bought was of dubious origin. If it were any other insect, it would be considered breaking the law, but for him…

"Lord Zhuang Nian, remember never to buy anything from the black market again. It's full of scoundrels; be careful not to get scammed."

The female hostess who received Zhuang Nian gently reminded him to contact the original inhabitants of the planet.

When Tu Nan received the call from the property registration office, he was being pestered by Nian Yuan and said irritably:

"You penniless bastard who tries to profit from the black market! Who gives you the nerve to ask me for property rights? Lock him up in the police station! He's not allowed out for at least ten days!"

Sub-female: "It's Lord Zhuang Nian..."

"..." Tu Nan: "Wait for me, I'm coming right away."

Nianyuan grabbed Tunan's hand: "Tunan, you haven't answered my question yet, where are we going?"

Tu Nan impatiently shook him off, frowning as she said:

"I'm saying this one last time! I, Tu Nan, would never look down on a bug, not even for a day! I don't like you! I have no interest in you! If you dare to keep bothering me, I'll make sure you can't stay in the military!"

Nianyuan was somewhat hurt upon hearing this: "But we've already slept together, you're already my insect..."

"Shut up!" Tu Nan pointed at Nian Yuan and said viciously, "Shut up! If I find out you dare to tell anyone about that disgusting thing, I'll kill you!"

Nianyuan pursed her lips: "Do you hate me that much? You weren't like this in bed that day."

Tu Nan: "If I hadn't been drunk and mistook you for Lord Zhuang Nian, do you think I would have given you a second glance?"

"Zhuang Nian doesn't like you! He likes Lieutenant General Fei!" Nian Yuan said angrily, "Why do you have to like a bug who ignores you? I like you so much! I promised to marry only you, a bug, in this lifetime! Can't you even consider me?"

Tu Nan scoffed, "I'd rather serve Lord Zhuang Nian with other insects than serve you. Don't doubt it, you're just that bad in my eyes."

Nianyuan was so hurt she almost cried: "Am I really that inferior to Zhuang Nian? You'd rather be his female servant than be my female ruler?"

Tu Nan nodded: "That's right! You're nothing but a clump of mud under Lord Zhuang Nian's feet, not even worthy to carry his shoes!"

After saying that, Tu Nan turned and left. On the way, he changed his clothes and tidied his hair. It seemed that he was always dressed up when he saw the black-haired male insect, but it seemed that every time Zhuang Nian saw him, he was calm and indifferent, without the slightest bit of amazement.

The handover went smoothly. Tu Nan, not understanding why Zhuang Nian wanted a low-grade planet, flattered him, saying, "I have many beautiful planets, and they also have various rare metals. If you like them, I can give them to you, but I hope..."

Zhuang Nian shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I like that planet very much. It's enough for me. I apologize for the previous black market transaction. I had no intention of infringing on your rights, and I hope you can forgive me. If you have any compensation requests, I will do my best to cooperate."

That's an inferior planet; it's not a loss if we lose it.

Tu Nancai refused Zhuang Nian's offer of compensation and said with a smile, "If you'd like, please treat me to a meal."

This wasn't an unreasonable request, and Zhuang Nian nodded in agreement. When Tu Nan saw the black sedan outside, he was taken aback.

Rumors circulated in the military that after Zhuang Nian and Fei dissolved their marriage, Zhuang Nian returned all of the female soldier's dowry without taking a single penny. He initially didn't believe it, but now, looking at the extremely poor-looking car in front of him, he believed it.

Tu Nan touched the smooth car door, unsure how to get in. Just as he was feeling awkward, he felt a touch on his shoulder.

Zhuang Nian bent down and, with a gentlemanly air, opened the car door for Tu Nan, considerately placing his hand on Tu Nan's head: "Be careful."

Anyone would find them somewhat intriguing. Holding the still-warm photograph, Shul, looking utterly bewildered, asked Fei, who had asked him for the insect eggs, "General, I have bad news and good news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Fei, who was currently experiencing a low point in his insect life, replied without hesitation, "Okay."

Xiuer handed the photo to Fei: "We have news about Lord Zhuang Nian..."

Fei looked at the photo in her hand, her red lips biting until a faint blush appeared.

No wonder he couldn't find a male insect; it turns out his master had actually bought a car to avoid him!

That kind of garbage doesn't require real-name authentication, it doesn't even have a location, and it can't track anything that runs on the ground. No, it didn't even bother to search the ground.

Fei crumpled the photo in his hand into a ball and asked coldly, "What's the bad news?"

The female soldier was covered in frost, and the cold air emanating from her body was like knives whistling out. Xiu'er lowered her head, took one, two, three, or four steps back, and looked to the side as if pleading for help...

Johnny coughed, clenched his fist, and whispered, "...The insect eggs are lost."

Regardless of how chaotic things got for them, after finishing their meal, Zhuang Nian and Tu Nan went to find out about the food supply channels.

Canned goods and nutritional supplements are the mainstream products, monopolized by well-known companies. The variety of vegetables and fruits is limited, and those developed by the military are all hydroponically grown.

Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for outsiders to get a share of the pie.

Zhuang Nian opened his personal computer to search for information, and the screen was full of messages about finding eggs.

He looked at the black egg with gold markings in the photo, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Zhuang Nian clicked on the details page, and a cold, pale face suddenly appeared.

haven't seen you for a long time……

The female soldier has lost weight and is even more aloof and unparalleled than before. You can feel her cold aura that keeps people at a distance, even through the screen.

Zhuang Nian wasn't someone who would escape reality, but he absolutely didn't want to see that lecherous bug's face again. He shut down his personal terminal, and his thoughts began to race uncontrollably.

The female soldier lost an egg; he'd seen that egg before, it was black and golden...

"grass!"

Zhuang Nian threw off his bath towel and ran outside naked. He ran to the door, then went back upstairs to put on his clothes. He pushed open the window, jumped onto the wall, and jumped out of the courtyard. He then carefully searched along the river by the door.

Several hours had passed since he kicked the insect eggs into the river, and he didn't know if he could still find them. He just felt inexplicably angry.

That damn female soldier has absolutely no sense of responsibility!

He didn't fulfill his responsibilities when the insect eggs were alive, but now that they're gone, he's turned on his mother and father, not only failing to properly bury the eggs but also scattering their remains everywhere. He deserves to die!

Zhuang Nian had never seen a more irresponsible person than Fei. He was so angry that he wanted to tear him to pieces. In his anxiety, he saw a flash of golden light under the moonlight.

—These are the insect patterns on the eggshell.

Zhuang Nian scooped the insect eggs out of the water and held them in his arms, his feelings a complex mix of emotions.

These are his own bones and flesh, which are easier to accept than rotting corpses, but also more heartbreaking than never having met them at all.

During this time, Zhuang Nian had been trying to clear his mind, thinking that by ignoring everything and never seeing them again, he could forget everything by letting time heal all wounds. Now, holding the cold insect egg, he realized that there were some things he had never forgotten, not even for a moment.

Zhuang Nian placed the insect eggs in warm water and carefully washed the mud and weeds off the eggshells with a towel. After the eggs returned to a cool temperature, he carried them to the yard.

Dig a hole, bury him, and pile him up into a small grave.

Zhuang Nian reached out and broke off a twig, stuck it on the grave of the insect egg, and watered it. Feeling something was missing, he went back and took out all the remaining food from the refrigerator and placed it in front of the grave. Just as he was thinking about where to find two more candles, the courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside...
