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

When the topic came up, Yu Heng immediately recalled the matter that Jiang Xu had asked him not long ago.

"About the nutrient supplement?" He looked at the male insects in surprise. Since they didn't need any nutrients, they must have bought it for the female insects.

However, these insects' families don't necessarily need to feed the female insects nutritional supplements, so the purpose of buying them wouldn't be for their own consumption.

Yu Heng frowned slightly: "Are you planning to give this to those refugees?"

Jiang Xu glanced at him: "That's right."

He understood what Zoe meant by asking Qingyu, so he continued, "We need a female insect to deliver these nutrients."

After all, none of the three of them seemed like the kind of scoundrels who would do such a thing.

Furthermore, given his special status, it's even more unacceptable.

"Okay." Qingyu looked at the three female insects opposite her and replied readily.

"No?" Yu Heng looked at the three of them, his face full of confusion: "Why don't you go yourselves? Regardless of your identities, sending them would be a good way to win over the insects, wouldn't it?"

This matter is entirely beneficial to their business family, with no drawbacks.

He couldn't understand why they didn't want this reputation.

"There's no need," Jiang Xu replied calmly. "Openly opposing the Imperial Court is also unacceptable."

The businesses of these three companies don't need that much goodwill from ordinary people.

Moreover, they didn't do anything. Compared to the female insects on the front lines, they only contributed some money.

When Jiang Xu received the transfers from Bernd and Zoe, he knew they must have the same idea.

Yu Heng was silent for a while, then a sudden idea flashed in his mind.

"Hiss—" He gasped, "You didn't call me here today just so you could ask me to do this for you, did you?"

However, Qingyu arrived unexpectedly, so the responsibility was shifted to Qingyu.

Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Even someone as dense as Yu Heng could understand the implication of "........."

As darkness fell, the female insects that had been wandering the road had long since disappeared.

Soon a message was sent to the communicator of every insect in the capital: "Imperial Decree: From today onwards, the capital is under full martial law. After 8:00 a.m. every day, no insect is allowed to roam the streets."

You need to present proof of residence in the capital to enter or leave the capital.

Apart from Jiang Xu, the only insects outside the courtyard were the team he had summoned.

Watching them leisurely tidy up the mess in the courtyard, Jiang Xu slowly stood up, patted the dry grass off his clothes, and said, "Xiao Yi, let's go back inside."

After the other two insect cubs left, Jiang Yi's face showed a hint of loneliness: "Father, when can I play with those two older brothers again?"

Jiang Xu bent down and hugged him, looking at his flushed face, and asked, "Do you really like those two older brothers?"

"Mmm. They're all so interesting." The little bug said this with bright, happy eyes.

"Then when the father returns, they can go play with them again?" Jiang Xu asked in a low voice.

The lawn was quickly cleaned up, and the foreman approached the father and son, giving a slow salute: "Lord Jiang Xu, the courtyard is now ready. We will be leaving."

Jiang Xu took a step to the side: "Mm."

The streetlights seemed to respond to his words, lighting up in a row and illuminating the street.

However, at this time of day, insects would usually be out playing and strolling on the streets, but now it is unusually quiet.

The courtyard was quickly restored to its original state, and Jiang Xu took the insect cubs back to his room.

It wasn't until Jiang Xu lay in bed that he began to think carefully about the martial law order issued that day.

This will only make the insects in the capital even more uneasy.

He looked at the two little ones who were sleeping unusually early today and knew they were too tired from playing.

After taking a shower, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the bed.

Jiang Xu, however, was not sleepy at all. He stared at the ceiling, his thoughts drifting to the battlefield ahead.

I wonder what the female insect is doing now.

He glanced at the bedside table next to him, hesitated for two seconds, then reached out and picked up the communicator on it, sending a message to the female insect.

It's 9 PM on the front lines of the battlefield.

Fei, who was under the same sky, was only now being relieved from the front lines to rest.

Wenxi looked at Fei, who was covered in blood and wrapped in dense bandages, and remained silent for a long time.

"Brother Fei, you didn't get Jiang Xu's approval to go to the front lines. Aren't you afraid he'll punish you?"

What's more, he's already suffered so many injuries.

"No." The female insect, whose expression was icy, softened slightly upon hearing Jiang Xu's name: "He won't blame me."

"But I can't just not tell them," Wen Xi said, scratching his head in frustration. "I told you not to come to the front lines, but you wouldn't listen. What will happen to Lord Jiang Xu and that brat if something happens to you?"

Fei had considered this question, but he couldn't provide a perfect answer.

But he knew that if he couldn't defend the border and defeat the alien beasts, then Jiang Xu and the insect cubs behind him would be in great danger.

He had no choice but to go to the front lines and fight.

He didn't dare tell Jiang Xu about this. He knew that Jiang Xu might not object if he did, but... he just didn't dare to say it, nor did he dare to go back and see him again.

He knew that if he saw them, he really wouldn't be able to come to the battlefield.

It wasn't because Jiang Xu refused, but because he couldn't bear to part with her.

While thinking, Fei found a wall to lean against, took out a clean bandage from the medical supply bag behind him, re-treated his wound, and then tied it back up.

Wenxi said a lot, but he found that Fei was lost in thought and didn't listen to him at all.

Seeing the other person awkwardly changing the dressing on their arm, he shut his mouth and walked over.

He naturally took the medicine from the other person and reapplied it to the wound.

The wound was so deep that the bone was visible. It had been treated with medicine for two days, but the condition of the wound had not improved. "Brother Fei, go to the accompanying military doctor and get two stitches."

Self-healing is not very effective.

They fought desperately on the battlefield, without getting proper rest, and their newly healed wounds would be torn open again.

He was worried that Fei had not died from being devoured by the strange beast, but rather from blood loss.

Even if a female soldier's body is made of iron, she can't keep being abused like this.

Fei glanced at him coldly: "It will still crack even after being stitched up."

"But..." Wenxi knew he was telling the truth, "it's still better than now."

Fei didn't answer him. Looking at the wound that had already been treated, he reached out and patted Wenxi's shoulder: "Take a good rest now."

I wonder if they'll launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

Their rest was fragmented; they would rest for as long as they could, and the time spent going to the military doctor for treatment was better spent resting for a while.

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.

Seeing this, Wenxi knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so she sat down next to him and closed her eyes.
