The small claws covered with translucent scales knock on the broken parts of the eggshell, loosening the solid eggshell little by little.
This eggshell, which had been protecting Mu An since he left his mother's belly, became a confinement that he needed to break.
Male larvae are different from female larvae. Even though they have protective scales on their claws, they do not have the strength of female larvae to squeeze out of the shell in two or three strokes.
Mu An has his own method. When he found that he was not strong enough to completely smash the eggshell, he chose to loosen the eggshell first.
Small and light "crackling" sounds continued to be heard, and spider-web-like cracks exploded on the insect eggs.
Shian held his breath and held Musi's hand back.
Mu Xi turned his head to look at him. He had seen Shi An nervous many times, always when he was in close contact with him.
And now, there is one more bug that will make Shian worry.
The "click" sound gradually stopped, and Musi felt that his hand was held tighter by Shi'an.
The eggshell was covered with cracks, and the larva had not come out yet. It must be accumulating energy inside the egg. Mu Xi quietly observed the larva's performance with the help of the spiritual thread.
The room was so quiet that you could hear the heartbeats of the insects around you, and through the holes that were initially poked by the larvae, you could faintly see some golden hairs.
After waiting for two long breaths, Shian finally couldn't help asking, his voice trembling: "Doctor, is the cub running out of strength? Can insect workers help him break out of his shell?"
The medical team leader was also hesitant, as he had never encountered such a situation before. The larvae that could break out of the shells would squeeze out in one go, while those that could not come out would use all their strength to hit the eggshells until they were exhausted. That was when they needed to provide help.
The frequency of the larvae's collisions was very stable, but the larvae were already silent before the eggshell was broken, and the instrument showed that the larvae were in good physical condition...
Musi could sense Shian's inner anxiety; his hands were probably scratched red by the female insects.
Mu Xi originally supported the larvae to break out of the shell by themselves, and if they couldn't break out, they could use the nurse worm. But now seeing the female worm like this, he almost wanted to use his mental power to cover it and lift the cracked eggshell.
"Doctor." Musi called out, signaling the medical bug to make a quick decision.
The medical team leader gritted his teeth and decided to let his assistant activate the assisted shell breaking technique first, but suddenly a noise was heard.
Click—
With a sound even crisper than the previous collision, the eggshell was completely broken open, and the little blond larva jumped out, half of its body still in the eggshell, with its claws pressing down on the eggshell that it had broken.
The white and translucent little larva raised its head, as if it had not yet adapted to the light from the outside world. It squinted its eyes for a long time before slowly opening them.
The left eye is violet, the right eye is amber gold. The large vertical pupils, one gold and one purple, are mysterious and gorgeous, easily attracting the attention of the insects present under the light.
Musi was a little surprised. This was something he had not expected. He knew that a white and tender little guy would emerge from the insect egg. He was his male father, and he would respectfully raise him and give him his male father's love.
But such a pretty little creature... He kind of wanted to poke it.
"My lord, the larvae..." Shian was so shocked that he looked at Musi.
The corners of Mu Xi's mouth rose slightly: "Yeah, it looks a lot like you." Good-looking, I like it.
Shi An said solemnly: "It obviously looks like you." The facial features are very similar to those of the Xiongzhu.
Mu An's big round eyes moved around at the insects outside the glass. The closeness coming from blood made his gaze quickly lock on his two fathers.
"Chi~"
Mu Antian called crisply, stretched out her little paws and began to crawl forward.
The translucent scales on the larva's small claws extend all the way to the elbows, with the fingertips covered most densely and becoming increasingly sparse as they go up.
The larva pressed its claws into the soft cushion and lifted itself up. Before it could take two steps, the eggshell suddenly fell over, and the little larva fell to the ground with a "plop".
Musi pulled Shian, who was walking forward subconsciously, and shook his head at him.
It’s just an eggshell. If it’s stumped by this, can it be said that it is a B-level male insect when it’s born
Mu An turned around to look at the thing that was pulling him. The gap in the eggshell that he had broken open when he pounced out was not big. The eggshell flipped over as he crawled, pressing down half of his body.
Mu An chirped, turned his head to look at the female and male fathers who were watching him, and stretched out his claws to push the eggshell that was pressing on him.
The eggshell used to protect the larvae was very strong but not heavy. After struggling for a while, Mu An finally freed himself.
Completely freed from his restraints, Mu An plopped down on the cushion, seemingly not wanting to move.
There is still egg liquid on the larvae, which needs to be cleaned in time.
The medical team leader came to Mu Xi and asked, "Governor, the little male insect has successfully hatched. Next, the larvae need to be cleaned and inspected. Lieutenant Colonel Shi An is requested to stay and comfort the larvae. Please wait in the rest room next door."
Mu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly. Comforting is the male insect's forte. Shouldn't he stay
Although she felt it was strange, Musi had no intention of competing with Shian for the right to get along with the larvae. She reached out and patted Shian's hand, signaling the female insect to let go.
Shian then took over the hand that he had been holding, and when he loosened his grip a little and saw the red marks on Muxi's hand, Shian's face changed slightly. The joy of seeing the larvae was suppressed a little, and self-blame and guilt surged in his heart.
"My Lord..."
Shi An called out in a low voice, and the small larva that had been lying motionless suddenly raised its head, its eyes fell on the two adults surrounded by the white-coated worms, and it propped itself up and crawled forward.
"It's okay, it will disappear in a while." Musi pulled his hand out of Shi'an's palm.
Mu Xi really didn't think it was a big deal. The pain he felt during daily training was much greater than this. If it weren't for the fact that Shi An was blaming himself, saying "it's okay" would have been unnecessary.
The small larva with heterochromatic eyes approached the glass cabin wall, staring at the insects outside with one eye, one gold and one purple, and suddenly raised its claws to scratch the glass wall.
The larvae's scratching of the glass was not very big, but the medical bugs were staring at it with shining eyes, so there was no way they would miss it.
"Xiao Xiongzi has figured it out. Is the warm water ready?" The medical team leader turned to ask the assistant.
The assistant looked at the time on the terminal bracelet and reported: "It will take another ten seconds."
Mu Xi did not stay any longer, gave Shi An a reassuring look, then turned and walked out.
The little larva with heterochromatic eyes also turned around at the same time as him. Seeing that his claws did no harm to the obstacle, Mu An immediately turned around and crawled towards the eggshell.
Mu An picked up a piece of broken eggshell on the ground and bit into it.
"Ah! Why are you eating the eggshells? Hurry up and take the little male insect out!"
"The little male insect is hungry. Where are the milk fruits? Bring me some!"
"Chirp, chirp—"
…
As the sounds from the larvae room gradually faded away, Musi walked into the lounge next door.
The next task is handed over to the medical team and the female larvae. The male larvae only need to rest outside and wait for a sweet and white little larva to be delivered into their arms.
Shi An couldn't do much to take care of a newly born larva. Letting the female insect follow would only make the larva feel more secure.
As soon as Mu Xi sat down on the sofa, several medical staff in white coats came with fruit tea and snacks.
The two medical teams had already overrun the larval room. The female and sub-female insects all thought: it would be better to show up in front of the governor than to stand there uselessly in the larval room.
Male insects always need company, and the lieutenant colonel is busy taking care of the larvae and can't get away, so they come.
Who wouldn’t want to give birth to such cute larvae
"You've worked hard, Governor. Have some snacks."
Several medical bugs placed the snacks they brought on the table, and each of them glued their eyes to Musi, unable to pull their eyes away, with a hint like a thread entangled.
The gradually rising female insect pheromones in the room did not change Musi's expression at all.
He didn't like the smell of so many pheromones mixed together, but he was used to it. Being surrounded by all kinds of suitors for many years had made Mu Xi very immune to pheromones.
Shian's pheromones were an exception, probably because only the other person's pheromones had ever combined with his own...
Mu Xi picked up the lemon fruit tea on the table, took a sip and put it down. It was too sour and not the taste he liked.
There was no emotion on the Governor's face, and the medical bugs couldn't judge his preferences, so they could only bring the snacks to Musi.
Mu Xi said "No need" and opened the terminal screen to browse, pretending that the tempting medical bug beside him did not exist.
Until he heard the door being pushed open with a "click", Shi An walked in holding little Mu An wearing a larvae suit, and two pairs of similar heterochromatic eyes looked at him at the same time.
“Chi~Chi~”
