The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

"The male insect's family members are already arguing in the military."

"There's a bunch of reporters gathered outside the military headquarters, all asking about the whereabouts of the male insects!"

The insects that heard this frowned.

If they had heard the news of Cen Li's kidnapping before, they would have thought that the male insect was being targeted for revenge.

But now that they've learned that several insects have been kidnapped, the female soldiers have to think even more deeply about what's behind this.

General Derek's face was so dark it could drip water. "This is definitely a vicious kidnapping incident targeting male insects."

"Investigate! This must be thoroughly investigated!"

Cen Li's eyes were covered by a black cloth, and he didn't know where the female insect had taken him.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Cen Li was pushed into a room by a bug and stumbled.

The restraints on his body were loosened, and the blindfold over his eyes was removed.

Cen Li was stunned.

He actually saw a group of male insects in this cramped and narrow room!

"Waaaah, more bugs have been brought in..."

"Damn it, these lunatics dared to kidnap us! Don't they have a death wish?!"

"Let us out! We are precious male insects."

"Unless you want to die, you'll suffer a terrible fate when the Imperial army comes knocking!"

Cooper, who had pushed Cen Li through the door, had not yet left.

His gaze swept across the faces in the room. The male insects' faces were filled with fear, yet they tried to appear calm.

Cooper scoffed dismissively.

"Then you'll probably be waiting until you die. The Imperial army will never be able to find this place."

A male insect stared wide-eyed, questioning, "How is this possible?! Where am I?"

"No comment."

The female insect naturally wouldn't be tricked into revealing information.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

Many insects noticed the wounds on Cen Li's body.

They were terrified.

"How dare you harm the male insect!"

Most of the male insects in the room were neatly dressed, and a few had wounds, but not many.

Not as miserable as Cen Li.

The seeping blood soaked through his clothes.

The wound, which hadn't been treated, continued to bleed, and Cen Li's lips turned slightly pale.

It looks like excessive blood loss.

The male insects had never seen anything like this before.

They all felt that Cen Li's injuries were extremely serious, and they were all terrified.

"You...you guys actually injured him like this! And you haven't even given him treatment?!"

"Do you even know how delicate male insects are?! If you don't treat him, he might really die!"

Cooper's gaze was cold.

"It's not that delicate."

His gaze swept over Cen Li, his tone completely indifferent.

"Don't worry, this little injury won't kill you."

He coldly uttered this sentence.

The door slammed shut.

The male insect's face turned pale and then flushed. "These spineless creatures!"

A bug started to cry softly.

"How long are we going to be locked up...?"

The air instantly became oppressive and silent.

The male insect, whose defenses were weak, could no longer hold back and began to sob softly, "I've never been treated like this by an insect before!"

"Don't cry, they won't let us out even if we cry."

"It's better to save your energy."

A sudden sound.

Several unfriendly gazes turned toward the corner.

"Aren't you scared, Chloe?"

"If I can't even have this much venting, then you're definitely trying to drive me to my death!"

Following their gaze, Cen Li finally saw the only male insect he recognized among the group.

Chloe reminded Cen Li of this last time in the private room.

Therefore, Cen Li had a good impression of him.

Chloe frowned as she faced the accusations from the crowd.

"Didn't you hear what the female insects said? If we don't agree to their proposal, they won't give us food or water!"

Chloe's words instantly brought back some unpleasant memories for the insects.

The male insects' faces turned indignant and their expressions became agitated.

"They're dreaming! I'd rather die than serve them."

"It's always been the female insects who serve the male insects, when did it become the other way around?! Even if they want to please me, I'm not happy about it."

"I haven't had any water for ages, are they really planning to let us die of thirst...?"

"These lunatics might actually do it, but I will never give in to them!"

The male insects seemed to be furious, their faces turning red.

Cen Li gleaned some information and asked, "Did those female insects capture us so they'd make us...serve them?"

Although Cen Li did not recognize this group of male insects, many of them did recognize him.

He was new, and some male insects kindly helped him understand.

"That's right."

"Those female insects are absolutely delusional!"

"I bet none of these females have ever mated with a male. With their crudeness, no male would ever be interested in them."

Cen Li frowned.

Could it be that the female insect was lying to him when she said there were other insects seeking revenge?

Are these insects capturing them simply because they want to mate with them?

This line of thinking does have some merit.

Male insects typically choose to live on superior planets rich in resources.

Especially male insects with high mental strength.

Male insects are particularly rare on some remote planets and desolate planets beyond the control of the Empire.

It's inevitable that some female insects will try to abduct male insects.

As Cen Li listened to the cries and complaints of the male insects, he also began to feel restless and found a place to sit down against the wall.

When I let my guard down, every wound on my body aches.

Cen Li frowned.

The swarm of insects seemed to have no intention of treating his wounds.

Chloe appeared and squatted down next to Cen Li without anyone noticing.

His gaze fell on the numerous wounds on Cen Li's body, and he asked him hesitantly.

"Are you in pain?"

After saying that, Chloe probably realized that she had asked a pointless question, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

"They kidnapped us, fine, but they even attacked innocent male insects! It's outrageous!"

Cen Li was the most seriously injured.

The male insects must not have struggled much or had time to struggle, which is why the female insects didn't kill them.

Cen Li asked, "How long have you been here since you were captured?"

"It's been about two or three hours."

"Our terminals were confiscated by them, so we don't know the exact time."

Cen Li silently made his plans.

There were at least a dozen male insects in the room.

This is a significant loss for the empire, and they will certainly not give up on tracking them down.
