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

He then opened the door and went out.

The scent in the air had mostly dissipated, but the female crickets were all selected as high-quality insects.

The scent was quickly detected by Kainan at the door, who looked at Jiang Xu inside the house with a surprised expression.

After receiving a glance from the other person, he nodded slightly, then awkwardly turned and followed Fei away.

He glanced at Fei out of the corner of his eye.

He felt something inside his body shatter. Was this still the aloof and ruthless Major General Fei he knew?

Fei felt the gaze behind him and gave Kennan a cold sidelong glance.

Seeing the other person quickly look away, he then looked away as well: "These new recruits may be transferred to Major General Morgan's unit in the next few days."

"You and Parker need to work together more with him then."

"?" Kenan looked at him in confusion. "Huh? What's wrong...?" He stared at Fei's lower abdomen and asked uncertainly, "Are you going back to rest and prepare for childbirth?"

Fei suddenly turned to look at him, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes. Yes, wasn't that the perfect excuse?

A reason that can evade all insects, yet remains normal and compliant.

Just as he expected, things proceeded as he anticipated.

This includes when I went to the western battlefield.

only........

"My lord, have I delayed your business?" Fei looked at Jiang Xu beside him.

He had already devised a plan for this trip to the western battlefield and was prepared to go alone.

He just didn't expect that Jiang Xu's condition for agreeing to his request was that he personally accompany him on the trip.

"Am I unhappy keeping you company?" Jiang Xu asked, leaning back on the sofa with his long legs crossed, looking at Fei with a troubled expression.

He was naturally happy that Jiang Xu could accompany him: "It's just that the journey is a bit far."

Fei was worried about his safety.

"The route to the western battlefield will pass through the liaison center, and I happen to have some business to attend to there."

"Okay." Fei glanced at Jiang Xu, wondering if the other party had come along because he didn't trust him.

Perhaps he was just overthinking it.

Fei placed her hand on her lower abdomen. Since she felt the egg moving in her belly a couple of days ago, there had been no movement at all in the past two days.

He recalled what the military doctor had said to him when he went to the medical department yesterday.

Her ears turned red without her noticing.

Jiang Xu glanced at his movements, took a deep breath, and looked at Fei's lower abdomen. He had read the guide on female insects carrying eggs that the military doctor had given him from beginning to end.

The Zerg's egg-laying process is the opposite of that of humans.

What humans need to pay attention to is exactly what insect eggs need to pay attention to.

During pregnancy, female insects not only crave the scent of male insects, but also need the male insects' bodily fluids to nourish the eggs, thereby increasing the toughness of the eggshells and preventing the eggs from breaking.

However, the irrigation level was not specified on the document.

It has been two days since the last time they were in the military headquarters, in the office.

Jiang Xu didn't know if it was a special reaction between the male insect and the insect egg, but ever since he established a mental connection with the insect egg a few days ago, he could intuitively feel the specific situation of the egg in Fei's belly.

For example, right now.

A tiny wisp of spiritual energy drooped its spiritual tendrils, quietly trying to rub against me.

However, because he was too small, his spiritual tentacles only extended a short distance before they could not go any further.

He glanced at the sky outside. It had been more than half a day since they left the capital. He estimated the time required based on what he had previously thought.

It will probably take another two or three hours to arrive.

In the end, I could only reach out with my mental power. The little guy's drooping antennae instantly perked up and clung to me, refusing to let go.

"When we get to the contact center, go to your accommodation and rest area first. A bug will take you to your room," Jiang Xu said, turning his gaze away from Fei.

"And what about you?" Fei paused for a moment, then asked.

"I'll go to the contact center, and then I'll come find you." Jiang Xu paused for a moment, then said, "Wait for me in the room."

If you get hungry, have them take you to eat. I'll be back as soon as possible.

Jiang Xu came along this time because he was worried about the female insect traveling alone. Also, he heard that a lot more of the instrument's parts had been collected.

He can go and take a look.

Thinking back to when he parted ways with Jiang Mian, he hadn't even finished speaking, and he wondered what the other person's expression was like at that time.

He also wanted to fix the equipment as soon as possible to confirm whether Jiang Mian could return.

Upon arriving at the liaison center reception area, Jiang Xu parted ways with Fei and went directly to the liaison center.

He had just reached the front of the house when he was bumped into by Lin An, who came out to greet him.

"Hahaha." Lin An laughed loudly, "Good lad, I knew you'd be alright."

Not long after they left the first star, they heard about Jiang Xu's disappearance.

His disappearance was completely different from Jiang Mian's; he vanished right under Zoran's skin.

What happened next is self-evident.

However, this also increases the possibility that Jiang Mian will also disappear into thin air.

As they prepared to go to the capital, they received Zoran's order to conduct a thorough search for discarded instrument parts.

Technicians and searchers quickly coordinated and soon entered a full-scale Zerg search operation.

"Uncle Lin." Jiang Xu nodded slightly to him. "I heard from my maternal grandfather that you've almost found all the remaining parts, so I came to take a look."

"We've basically found everything, just one last thing. However, the insect crew sent a message saying that the item is in the south."

It's inconvenient for us to go there, so we can only wait for their good news.

As he spoke, he put his arm around Jiang Xu's shoulder and walked into the house. After a few steps, he realized something and looked behind him: "Just you, a bug? I received a message saying that a male and a female are coming."

It must be your partner. Where's his bug?

Jiang Xu reached out and tossed Lin An's arm off his shoulder, then walked into the house on his own: "I told him to wait in the rest area."

"?" Lin An withdrew his hand, chuckled twice, and walked to his side: "Why are you being so formal?"

He's been here before, you can just bring him along.

Jiang Xu turned to look at him: "You don't need to overthink it. He's been feeling a bit unwell lately, so I had him wait for me in the rest area."

"......" Inconvenient? How inconvenient could it be? No matter how inconvenient the female insect's body is, she can still overpower the male insect in a one-on-one fight. With that kind of physique, and if he remembered correctly, that female insect was a military female.

Lin An rolled his eyes at him, clearly not believing Jiang Xu's words.

Jiang Xu didn't offer much explanation for his reaction, since there was no need to explain anything.

The two insects entered the hub. Upon entering, Jiang Xu saw two large worktables in the center of the office area, with many old mechanical parts on them.

"These are the parts you found?"

He walked straight to the worktable.

Jiang Ping, who was taking notes at the moment, glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and rested his pen on the table: "Oh, isn't this Young Master Jiang? What brings you here?"

Inspection work?

"..." Jiang Xu listened to the sarcastic tone, turned his head to look at Lin An beside him, and asked with his eyes: What's wrong? Who offended him?
