Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

His eyes, which were as big as coins, narrowed into slits when he was suddenly exposed to the light.

However, it does not prevent him from hearing sounds.

Jiang Yi nodded hurriedly: "Eat—"

Jiang Xu smiled and looked at Fei, waiting for him to take out the milk fruit. But he quickly realized something, and a look of uncertainty suddenly appeared on his face.

Jiang Yi had been too obedient the whole way, so much so that he had mostly slept through mealtimes, which is why Fei only remembered something now.

"........" Jiang Xu.

"........" Jiang Yi.

Fei remained silent as the father and son cast their gazes at him.

"Gurgle—"

Another rumbling sound came from my stomach.

"There's no milk fruit." Fei sat up from Jiang Xu's lap.

"Uh—" Jiang Xu began to rub his forehead.

When he left in the morning, he hadn't expected Jiang Yi to come to the south with him, so he naturally didn't carry any with him as usual.

He could also guess that Fei had taken on the role temporarily and left in such a hurry that he hadn't noticed this.

"How about we go to town and take a look?" He had noted the distance to the town when he came; it shouldn't be far.

However, I don't know if I'll be able to buy it at this time.

Fei looked at the tearful insect, got out of bed, picked up the clothes hanging beside him and put them on: "I'll go take a look."

"Let's go together." Jiang Xu got out of bed. Right now, the most important thing was to feed Jiang Yi, or:

"How about you bear with it, I'll give it to you tomorrow..."

He lowered his head and looked at the little bug on the pillow, then stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.

Seeing Jiang Yi's expression that said, "If you say another word, I'll cry," what could she do?

Jiang Xu finished dressing, picked up the little bug, and pressed its flat belly: "You weren't hungry before, were you?"

He suddenly realized that the little insect might have been talking because it was so hungry!

There was a hint of shock in his eyes.

Jiang Yi felt a little better when he realized that his two fathers finally knew about his grievances.

"Gurgle—"

"Alright, let's go out." Jiang Xu stretched out a hand to Fei, and only after he held an insect in his hand did he open the door and walk over.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as Jiang Xu left the room, he heard Jiang Ping's voice coming from the next room.

He looked back and saw that the other person had half of their body sticking out.

"Go find some milk fruit for the bug larvae."

As if in response to Jiang Xu's words, Jiang Yi's stomach growled a few more times.

Jiang Ping looked at the couple with obvious surprise.

"You weren't prepared?"

"......"

Jiang Xu pursed his lips, and after a moment uttered two words: "Forgot."

"......." Jiang Ping also fell silent. He straightened up and walked out of the room: "I'll go with you."

"No need, we'll be right back, you should rest first," Jiang Xu declined, then gestured to another room and whispered, "Keep an eye on it."

Jiang Ping had just closed the door when he heard his words. He stopped, gave an "OK" sign, and turned back.

Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow when he saw his action.

He quickly looked away: "Let's go."

The entire family came out, all for the grand plan hidden in the insect's belly.

On the southern border of the insect-infested area, green vegetation can still be seen, but winter has already arrived.

The wind at dawn was even colder and more biting.

Even under these circumstances, Star Bay remained brightly lit, and although the streets were much quieter, there were still many roadside stalls.

Looking down from the aircraft, Jiang Xu and his group immediately spotted the busiest street.

"It's so lively here?" Jiang Xu tightened his collar and got off the aircraft with Jiang Yi, their heads close together.

"The insect populations in the south are quite active, which is somewhat different from those in the east." Although this area is in the south, it is close to the central government, so you can still experience all four seasons.

However, if you go further south, all you can see is ice and snow.

"You've been here before?" Jiang Xu looked at Fei with some surprise, sensing a sense of familiarity in his words.

"Yes, I've been here a few times on missions before."

No wonder he was so decisive when he said he wanted to go out and find milk fruit.

There were quite a few insects walking around in the middle of the road, and they quickly blended in without looking out of place.

The canopies of the roadside stalls stretched one after another, their eaves touching, and the warm yellow ambient lights, turned up to the maximum, created a cozy atmosphere for passersby.

It seems like this will make it a little warmer.

However, every insect on the road wrapped its clothes very tightly, only revealing a little bit of its face.

Jiang Xu glanced at Fei, noticing the other's rather thin clothing: "Are you cold?"

Fei shook his head: "I'm not cold."

Military uniforms are much more windproof and cold-resistant than ordinary clothes, so he didn't feel particularly cold.

Jiang Xu reached out and grabbed his hand, squeezing it gently. It was warm. Then he let go. "Now let's see where we can buy milk fruit."

Most of the baby insects are asleep at this time, so I don't know if they're still available for sale.

They walked from one end of the street to the other, but couldn't find any trace of Naiguo.

Jiang Xu's fears came true.

Jiang Yi pouted, neither crying nor making a fuss, and rubbed his head against Jiang Xu's chin: "Eat, eat, Father Xiong."

Seeing his appearance, Fei's heart softened drastically: "My lord, let's go back and take another look. Maybe we missed something on the way here."

Jiang Xu didn't say anything, and turned to walk back.

They had been searching diligently all along, so it was impossible for them to have missed anything.

It's just that they're unwilling to give up.

They returned to their starting point from the end of the street.

The shop owner on the street stared at the two of them for a moment, and seeing that they didn't move, he called out:

"Customers, two customers."

He held a shovel in one hand, propped it up on the workbench, and waved to Jiang Xu and Fei with the other.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Xu subconsciously turned his head and saw a chubby shop owner waving enthusiastically at him with a big smile.

"......."

He took Fei's hand in return and took two steps in that direction.

"What is it?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Are you looking for something?" the shopkeeper asked warmly, withdrawing his hand.

Jiang Xu hummed in agreement and said, "Do you know where you can still buy milk fruit at this time?"

"Milk fruit?" The shopkeeper was taken aback. He turned his head and noticed the insect in Jiang Xu's collar. After thinking for a while, he said, "At this time, we don't sell milk fruit."

Moreover, this street is where adult insects roam at night, making it even harder to find.

After he finished speaking, he simply said "Oh" to himself, "You can go and take a look ahead." He pointed to the street in the distance, "I remember there's a shop over there that sells milk fruit, you can try it."

He just couldn't say for sure whether that store was open at that time.

"Where?" Fei asked immediately.

The shopkeeper didn't mind switching to another insect to talk to him, and continued pointing to the street in the distance: "Over there, at the fifth lamppost."

Jiang Xu turned his head and looked around. The streetlights on both sides of the road were facing each other, and he could soon find the fifth pillar he had mentioned.

Just as he was about to ask "which way", the shopkeeper explained in more detail: "See the red light up there? The third shop on the street next to the red light pole is the milk fruit shop."

You can give it a try.

He glanced at Jiang Yi again, then looked at the two female insects in front of him with a somewhat speechless expression.

That's really unreliable.
