Fortunately, the journey back to the cabin was quiet, without any sudden, unsettling explosions.

The aircraft could only land on an open ground 500 meters away from the cabin. Before it had even come to a complete stop, Mikel was the first to dart down. Wings, unique to female insects, grew from Mikel's back, carrying him toward the cabin.

Unfortunately, even if Mikel flew over, it seemed too late.

The cabin door was wide open, and the scene inside was clearly visible under the light. The cabin, which had been relatively tidy when I left, now looked like it had been the site of a chaotic battle, and was completely destroyed.

A pool of bright red blood was splattered on the wooden floor, and Aris was laughing as he pinned a female insect with long blue hair to the table, swinging his blood-stained fist and punching her repeatedly. The female insect, pinned down, could only kick her legs weakly, utterly powerless to resist.

Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, Aris suddenly stopped moving, turned his head to reveal his blood-splattered face, and a bloodthirsty smile slowly appeared on his lips.

His mouth opened and he seemed to say something, but Mikel didn't hear it because of a deafening 'Boom!' The small wooden house was instantly engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky. Mikel was also thrown back by the shockwave from the explosion.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Cheng Chu's mental strength blocked the impact head-on, taking away most of the damage for Mikel.

"Wife!"

"General!"

A sharp pain shot through his chest, and Mikel crashed heavily into a towering tree before being brought to a stop. His vision went black for a moment before slowly clearing, and he heard voices calling his name from afar.

"General, are you alright?" Elijah, who flew over using his wings, was the first to arrive and quickly helped Mikel up from the ground.

Mikel watched helplessly as the wooden cabin was reduced to ruins after the explosion. But he still clung to a sliver of hope: "Don't worry about me, let them put out the fire, and find Aris."

At this moment, Mikel hoped that Aris would get what he wanted.

"Yes, General."

At this moment, Cheng Chu finally ran over, and Elijah handed Mikel over to him before going to put out the fire.

"Wife, wife! Are you... alright? Where... does it hurt?" Cheng Chu gasped for breath, his words incoherent. He held Mikel's shoulder, looking him up and down with a worried expression.

Aside from his pale face, Mikel didn't appear to have any injuries.

"My lord, I'm alright." Mikel steadied himself and struggled to get up. "My lord, I need to go see him."

"Okay, I'll help you." Knowing that Mikel was worried about Aris, Cheng Chu helped him up and walked back to the front of the cabin.

Mikel stared intently at the unrecognizable wooden hut, saying nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.

Cheng Chu knew he was feeling bad, so she stayed with him.

"Wife, don't be sad, maybe..." Maybe Aris really did time travel?

Mikel suddenly interrupted him: "I saw it."

"What?" Cheng Chu asked, confused. "Wife, what did you see?"

"Aris was enveloped in a white light, I saw it." Mikel turned to Cheng Chu, his voice devoid of emotion: "Is this what time travel is like?"

"Yes, that's right." Cheng Chu nodded affirmatively. To increase credibility, he even gave his own example: "When I traveled here, I also saw a white light. Aris also traveled here."

Sure enough, about half an hour later, Elijah arrived with the results.

"General, these are the results of the analysis of the tissue samples we found in the cabin." Elijah respectfully handed the personal terminal to Mikel with both hands. "The analysis results of these tissue samples clearly indicate that they do not belong to General Aris; they should belong to another female insect."

The identity of the blue-haired female insect is currently unknown.

But that's not the point, and no insect cares.

The key point is that Mikel only instructed Elijah to use the fastest time possible to identify all the shattered body parts found at the scene against Aris's data in the gene bank.

Mikel read through the entire autopsy report word for word before he could finally relax. Even though he had suspected it before, he still needed to see the final result to truly believe that Aris, that madman, hadn't been killed in the explosion.

The absence of Aris's physical remains at the scene suggests that he has achieved his goal.

"My lord, let's go home." Mikel smiled as he looked at Cheng Chu beside him.

"it is good."

Despite Mikel's insistence that he was fine, Cheng Chu still helped him walk slowly toward the aircraft, as if afraid that walking even a little faster would make him uncomfortable.

"Honey, you know, both explosions happened, so why did Aris travel through time, but the other female insect didn't?"

"Hmm?" Mikel pretended to think, and finally said, "Maybe only Earthlings can travel through time."

"Even so..." Cheng Chu still didn't understand: "But isn't Aris a female insect?"

Mikel didn't tell Cheng Chu the reason directly, but instead kept him in suspense for once: "Well, you'll have to think about it carefully yourself."

"Ah..." Cheng Chu's face immediately fell, looking pitiful. "Wife, I can't think of anything. Can you just tell me directly?"

Mikel, helped by Cheng Chu, walked to the side of the aircraft. He asked, "My Lord, where is our baby?"

Cheng Chu pointed to the aircraft door: "It's inside. I put the baby in the aircraft seat and didn't take him out."

Upon opening the door, Mikel saw the tightly wrapped insect egg waiting peacefully in Cheng Chu's seat. Mikel climbed in and sat down, picking up the egg and saying, "My lord, do you think our baby has half insect genes and half human genes?"

Cheng Chu followed and sat down, nodding and saying, "Of course."

Their baby will certainly have his and Mikel's genes.

Mikel just smiled at Cheng Chu, and Cheng Chu immediately understood what he meant.

He was stunned for a moment: "You mean Aris...?"

Mikel praised him, "My lord, you are truly wise."

Cheng Chu could only say that Aris was a ruthless female insect, otherwise she wouldn't be so ruthless to herself.

Before long, the mess on Elijah's side was almost cleaned up, and all the female soldiers boarded the aircraft.

After all this, dawn had broken. One of the wooden houses in the mutated forest, which had been bustling all night, had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ruins. In time, these ruins would eventually be covered by mutated plants.

The aircraft started up, Cheng Chu was holding Mikel, and Mikel was holding the insect egg. The view outside the porthole was no longer pitch black, but the rising sun.

This time, Cheng Chu and Mikel were truly returning home.
