Lieutenant Colonel Hawke was extremely efficient. He quickly dispersed the overly excited female soldiers who were watching, leaving only two of his most composed confidants to guard the entrance to the passage. He then personally led Lin Luo to the hastily prepared reception room.
"Your Excellency, the warship's conditions are rudimentary, and there has been much neglect. Please forgive us."
Hawke bowed slightly, his posture respectful, no longer kneeling in fear like the female soldiers before him.
He suppressed his excitement, his face bearing a perfectly measured smile of honor at being able to receive a male insect.
Lin Luo tried her best to appear calm and nodded slightly: "It's nothing, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
His heart was actually beating very fast; everything before him—
The cold metal corridors, the technological equipment he had never seen before, and the powerful yet unusually respectful warriors were all madly impacting his worldview.
"They call me 'male insect,' which seems to be a sign of high respect; I seem to have a high status."
"I'm an insect, so are they insects too? Is this an insect society? Is that why they have wings?"
So that's why there are such terrifying monsters? But this definitely isn't human society anymore?
So, I've traveled through time?
"I never expected to catch a trend and end up in another world. That's kind of exciting..."
While I was thinking, I arrived at the reception room. The reception room was not big, but it was obviously made with care.
The room was cozy, with the tables and chairs spotless and a small dish on the table containing what looked like dried fruit.
"Please rest here for a while. The Major General will come to see you as soon as he finishes his military duties."
As Hawke spoke, he observed Lin Luo seemingly unintentionally.
Although he was excited to receive the male insect, the major general's attitude also calmed him down a bit, and his usual vigilance returned.
Hawke poured him a glass of water and began the conversation naturally:
"That was really dangerous. I never expected you to suddenly appear in that insect-free area."
May I ask... what kind of aircraft are you traveling in?
We do not appear to have detected any normal channel applications or connection requests.
"A bug-free area, indeed, is a Zerg society."
Lin Luo remained expressionless, picked up her water glass, took a sip, and concealed her emotions.
He couldn't tell the truth, that would sound like madness, and he absolutely couldn't reveal that he knew nothing.
"Something unexpected happened."
He carefully chose his words, trying to keep his tone light, as if he had only encountered a minor problem.
"My aircraft lost control, and when I came to my senses, I was already here. As for the specific technical details, I don't know much about them."
Hawke's smile remained unchanged:
"I see. Your aircraft design is extremely unique. Our engineers were stunned. To be able to emerge unscathed from such an accident, you are truly blessed by fate."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Lin Luo's expression.
When Lin Luo heard the "praise" for his supercar, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. His limited edition supercar was probably a pile of scrap metal by now, and his heart was bleeding.
But he could only maintain a slightly reserved smile: "Thank you, it... is indeed very special."
Next, Hawke tried to subtly ask Lin Luo a few questions about his background and destination, but Lin Luo skillfully deflected all of them.
After several probes, Hawke was basically certain that this male insect was deliberately concealing his origins.
But he seemed to have no ill intentions, and even showed genuine curiosity about military matters and warships, rather than the disgust or fear that noble males usually exhibit.
Hawke's gaze softened slightly; in any case, the friendliness this gentleman was currently displaying was genuine.
"Please rest assured, I will be waiting outside the door. Please call me anytime if you need anything."
Hawke brought the probing to a close at the opportune moment, bowed, and left the reception room.
After the door closed, Lin Luo finally relaxed. A cold sweat broke out on his back. He leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and let out a long breath.
"Interstellar wars, winged warriors, male insects, insectoid society..." he muttered to himself.
"Good heavens, in this strange world, I've just transmigrated here like this, so am I an unregistered person?"
"Oh well, what's done is done. Maybe I'll go back sometime. I'll just treat this as a vacation," Lin Luo comforted himself.
