If it were just a strange beast, its female parent wouldn't be completely defenseless.

He remembered that his female father was not as lucky as him and fell under the rubble, but when he looked down, his female father was basically unharmed.

If it were just a strange beast, its female parent would definitely have room to resist.

"We saw it with our own eyes." Fei knew how moved he was, and he knew the answer might be different from what he had imagined, but that was the truth.

"No, not necessarily." Kennan suddenly realized and said to Fei and Morgan, "We had already retreated to a safe distance. What we can confirm is that it did look like a monster on the surface."

However, we cannot get close enough to get a better look, and we cannot accurately predict the situation.

Both insects remained silent.

Fei Chao said to him, "Yes. Although they are far away, based on what we see, they are undoubtedly strange beasts."

"What if there's something inside that we don't know about?" Ossie, who hadn't spoken before, chimed in, offering her opinion.

"If it were a simple alien beast, there's no way that not a single one of the many insects in the army could escape and report to the military region."

Suddenly, the insects present realized this point.

Yes, if it were just a simple strange beast, although the scene would be horrific, it wouldn't be so devastating that not a single survivor would be left.

At this moment, they could still faintly hear roars coming from the depths.

"Tonight, we'll rest where we are. Tomorrow, we'll cross that barrier and venture deeper into the underground." Fei simply outlined tomorrow's battle plan: "Don't approach any place that leads underground."

"Yes."

Several voices rang out at the same time.

Fei found a sheltered spot, sat down, leaned his head against the rock behind him, and looked into the distance.

His eyes flickered as he recalled what Jiang Xu had said when they parted ways.

"My lord, are you asleep?"

Northern insect-infested area, border town.

Since the curfew warning bells went off, the whole town has fallen into complete silence.

Yes, the whole town!

Not only did the sound disappear, but the lights also vanished.

Jiang Xu found it strange. He could understand that a simple curfew only meant not being able to move around outside, so why was this curfew so strict?

He lay in bed, turned his head to look out the window, and saw only darkness.

The originally dim yellow streetlights have all disappeared.

A strange town!

He looked away, adjusted his sleeping position, and was about to fall asleep when the communicator on his wrist activated.

Strange, who would message him so late at night?

I opened the communicator, and a message popped up immediately—it was from the female insect.

A hint of a smile suddenly appeared in Jiang Xu's eyes; it seemed she missed him.

"Not yet, what is it?"

Fei didn't expect to receive a reply so quickly. Looking at the message from the other party, he suddenly didn't know how to reply.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied:

"Didn't you say we should keep in touch?"

Did I say that?

"Yes," Fei replied confidently.

"Really? Then why did you only remember it 26 hours later?" Jiang Xu replied, wanting to tease him.

Well........

Fei suddenly laughed silently. "Really? Have we been separated for twenty-six hours already?"

Perhaps because he had so many things to do, he felt that time was passing quickly; it had already been so long.

"I sent you a message as soon as I had a chance. I don't know if I disturbed your rest."

"without."

I did not receive a reply immediately after sending the message.

So he withdrew his hand and placed it at his side, waiting for a while, but the communicator still did not ring.

"?" Jiang Xu wondered. Was the other person asleep?

"What happened..." Before he could finish typing his message, another message came from the other end.

"My lord, I miss you."

Jiang Xu looked at the message on the communicator and chuckled softly to himself. It turned out that he was doing some mental preparation for himself.

Suddenly I realized that this insect was kind of cute in its straightforwardness.

Soon after, the other party sent him another message: "Are you still in the contact center?"

Jiang Xu thought for a moment: "Yes, I'll be waiting for you at the liaison center."

After a while, the other party finally replied to Jiang Xu with a "good".

Although it was cold in the north, Jiang Xu's heart was warm.

The next morning, as the sky began to lighten and the entire town regained power, the light in Jiang Xu's room was turned on just in time.

Jiang Xu was already dressed and walked from the room to the hall.

As Jiang Xu himself had said, the female insect from yesterday was already waiting in the hall, and she rushed to greet him when she saw him come out.

Good morning, Mr. Jiang Xu.

"Good morning," Jiang Xu replied in a low voice, just like him.

"Things have changed. We need to get to the next town immediately, and we also need to have breakfast there."

"?" Jiang Xu looked at him for a moment: "Okay."

Jiang Xu followed him and quickly left the border town.

The spaceship sailed smoothly as Jiang Xu sat on the sofa, watching the scenery outside gradually turn white.

It seems we're getting closer to the north.

At this moment, the leading female insect walked over: "Lord Jiang Xu, this batch of goods will meet the docking insects in the next town."

After the transaction is completed, we can head back.

Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze and looked at the female insect: "How many years have you been with the Jiang family?"

Fourteen years.

"Fourteen years." That's quite a while indeed. Jiang Xu sighed, "What happened to that small town?"

"You mean the town we stayed in last night?" The female insect hesitated for a moment, then said, "That town has always been like that. The situation in the northern insect region is more complicated. There are often internal wars, and many insects die."

I heard from other insects that the small town on the border was a place where insects survived the war by sheer luck. They were on different sides, but both were defeated.

Over time, various forces became involved.

On the surface, it appears peaceful, but wars frequently break out, not only within the town itself, but also between the town and external factions.

The royal family in the northern insect region is currently turning a blind eye to these issues, so the situation here could change in an instant.

"You said things changed this morning, so this is what happened?" Jiang Xu suddenly understood why the insect in that small town looked so angry.

It's uncertain whether they'll survive the next civil war.

"Yes, the insect in charge of the liaison point told me that there have been some abnormalities in the town recently, and that we should leave as soon as possible. All their equipment has been moved into the underground safe house."

Jiang Xu rested his chin on his hand on the sofa, tapping his leg lightly with his hand.

The situation in the northern insect region is really complicated. It's just too much of a coincidence that things started to stir here only a few days after the incident in the east.

"Are their civil wars frequent? How frequent?" Jiang Xu asked.

The female insect thought for a while: "It happens once every one or two years in the last ten years, but this year is a bit strange. It already happened in the first half of the year, and now it seems to be groping around again."

As he spoke, Jiang Xu recalled those ruins.

It seems that not only the east is going to be in chaos, but the north is also going to be in chaos.
