Asui grew up in the mountains, and the only flying object he knew was airplanes. But he obviously didn't realize that he was very far away from the earth, and there would be no one to fly a plane to take him home.
The object he called "the plane" was completely black, like a terrifying giant beast, and there were many identical objects following behind it. The pilot controlled the starship to fly over the dense forest, and suddenly found through the display screen that there were insects waving at him from below. He couldn't help but frowned and said through the intercom: "Report to the leader, there are two strange insects under the dense forest, do you need to capture them?"
A group of burly black-clad female insects sat in the starship's cabin. The overhead lighting was not strong, so most of their faces were immersed in shadows. Some of them had lost an eye, some had a piece of flesh missing, or had countless scars. They looked like evil spirits from hell crawling up together, which was terrifying to look at.
But these scars represent "honor" in their hearts, because they are the "merits" left by their battles against the imperial army as notorious star pirates.
One of the leaders had a fierce look in his eyes: "Catch them, our tracks cannot be leaked!"
Another leader chuckled twice: "Two more meat tickets, how great."
The driver received the order and directly locked onto the target to capture them. Suddenly, a hatch opened automatically under the starship, and two pure black mechanical ropes were quickly dropped down. The two ropes seemed to have life, and they wrapped around Asui and Xu Cenfeng like snakes, with such swift force that there was a sound of strong wind.
Ah Sui wanted to draw his sword and cut it off reflexively, but Xu Cenfeng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, stopping him: "Ah Sui, don't act rashly."
Asui paused when he heard the words, and just as he was stunned, he suddenly felt a tightening force on his waist, and then his body lost weight and was tied up by the black rope and forcibly pulled up, and thrown into the dark rear cabin of the starship with a plop.
Xu Cenfeng followed closely behind, was tied up and thrown to the side, and fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Ah Sui searched for Xu Cenfeng's figure in the darkness, struggling like a caterpillar, and nervously called out in a low voice: "Brother Cenfeng? Brother Cenfeng?"
If we replace this sentence, the meaning is equivalent to: Don't be afraid, they are just a group of murderers.
"The female insect is responsible for bearing the offspring."
Xu Cenfeng: "Star pirates are robbers. They will rob precious male insects and then use them to extort ransom."
[Ding! The rear cabin has been successfully deployed! ]
The other party's rough fingers first touched his neck, and then he made a suspicious sound, and then pinched Asui's chin to take a closer look, secretly surprised: "No insect pattern? It's actually a male insect?!"
Suddenly, a rude scolding sounded in the darkness. Asui only felt someone grabbing the back of his collar and the flashlight shining directly at him, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.
Asui's mind was blank, thinking what on earth is this male watermelon worm talking about
Xu Cenfeng on the other side also underwent the same examination.
Ah Sui inexplicably sensed a serious atmosphere. He held his breath unconsciously, and the tip of his ears twitched: "You say."
"Damn it! It's also a male insect!"
Asui was startled and began to struggle reflexively, but he didn't know what the mechanical rope was made of. The more he struggled, the tighter it became, and finally he could hardly breathe.
Xu Cenfeng seemed to have expected this. He lay on the ground calmly without struggling at all: "Don't be afraid, they are just a group of space pirates."
"There are no men or women in Salilanfa, only female insects and male insects. The male insects here are rare and precious, so they are firmly protected by the country. The female insects are strong and must go to the battlefield to defend the country."
[Ding! Target captured successfully! ]
"If you don't want to be strangled, just stay still!"
Xu Cenfeng seemed to know everything. He tried to tell Asui in a way that would make him more understandable. His low voice sounded in the darkness, silently soothing people: "Asui, what I'm going to say next is very important. You must remember every word and never forget it. Do you understand?"
Ah Sui felt that he heard a lot of new terms from Xu Cenfeng. Hearing this, he looked down at the ground nervously and asked, "What is a male insect?"
"Asui, we are no longer on Earth. When the bus fell off the cliff, we traveled to another world, another country. The people here call it Salilanfa..."
Although the pirate was cursing, his tone was extremely excited. He turned back to the main cabin and immediately shared the good news with his companions: "Those two unlucky guys we just caught were actually male insects! When did the male insects in Salilanfa become so rampant? We can easily catch two!"
Ah Sui was confused for a moment: "What is a star pirate?"
He is most afraid of insects.
"We don't have worm patterns on the back of our necks, so we are all male worms."
Ah Sui lay on the ground without saying a word. Although he only half understood what Xu Cenfeng said, he understood one thing and asked in a low voice: "Is there no way for us to go home?"
The voice sounded a little sad.
Xu Cenfeng asked him: "A Sui, what is home?"
Asui said: "There is the great grandfather, the third grandfather..."
He has many grandfathers.
Asui was a little worried: "When the bus fell off the cliff, Third Grandpa was also on the bus. I want to find him."
Xu Cenfeng: "Really? I want to find someone too."
Ah Sui tilted his head and looked at him in the dark, a little confused: "Who are you looking for?"
Xu Cenfeng: "An old friend."
Xu Cenfeng: "A Sui, don't be afraid, we will find them."
He was so determined and so confident, like a reborn person, like a prophet.
This pirate team was large, with about four or five leaders, each with his own subordinates and starships. To them, the looted male insects were walking wealth, so when the team found a safe place to settle down, they began to distribute the wealth equally.
"These two male insects were captured together. They must know each other. Don't let them get together to plot anything. Put them all in custody!"
Just like that, Asui and Xu Cenfeng separated.
Asui was imprisoned in another starship, where there were four or five male insects like him, with their hands and feet shackled. When they gathered in a corner, they were like a group of shivering and frightened quails, and would be frightened by the slightest movement.
In contrast, Asui was relatively calm. He found that the food in the starship was much better than in the jungle, so he ate seriously every day to replenish his energy. At the same time, he secretly looked through the window at the number of space pirates outside, planning to find a chance to escape with Xu Cenfeng.
"Don't waste your time. The Clete Alliance is the most notorious pirate gang in Salilan. The Empire has been chasing them for ten years but still hasn't wiped them out. How could you possibly escape?"
The person who spoke was a male insect imprisoned on the same starship as Asui, named Heim. He had thick brown hair and fairly regular features, and he must be from a noble family. He held a toothpick in his mouth and said in boredom, "You should stay here like the rest of us and wait for the Empire to redeem us with star coins. My female father is a lawyer, and the army dare not not save us."
Ah Sui looked around and asked curiously, "Aren't you planning to escape?"
Upon hearing this, the male insects looked at each other in bewilderment. They all thought that the male insect with black hair and black eyes must be crazy. There were at least hundreds of pirates outside. They were so weak that they could be blown away by even a gust of wind. Wouldn't it be courting death if they escaped
"What are you crazy about? There are hundreds of pirates outside. How can we fight them?"
"Fighting is what female insects do, I won't join in the fun." "Hey, don't be silly, lie down and have a good sleep. Who knows if those pirates will move their base tomorrow? I'm tired of that kind of wandering life."
Through the porthole glass, you can vaguely see the dark sky outside. Several space pirates are walking back and forth outside with guns. For some reason, their number is half of yesterday.
Ah Sui put his ear close to the glass, closed his eyes and listened for a moment: "There seems to be a sound of fighting outside."
Heim was one of the first male insects to be robbed, and he had almost figured out the situation inside the star pirates. Hearing this, he walked over with a toothpick in his mouth, and saw that the star pirates in the distance had formed a circle, roaring loudly, and said, "They are probably choosing a new leader."
Ah Sui asked doubtfully: "What new leader? Is their leader dead?"
Heim said uncertainly, "He should be dead. Some time ago, the Empire sent troops to wipe out these pirates. Their second leader, Sanya, suddenly took advantage of the chaos to kill the leader, Clet, and escaped. Now the entire Clet Alliance is leaderless, and the leaders under it are fighting every day for the position of leader."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ah Sui, pointed outside and deliberately teased: "Well, if you want to escape, then run now. The guards outside are all watching the fun, so they probably don't have time to care about you."
Ah Sui lowered his head and fell into deep thought: "..."
Heim laughed: "I knew you wouldn't dare, don't be silly, or..."
“Crack!”
Before Heim finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of shackles breaking, which scared him. Ah Sui suddenly turned his hands back and shook his palms. I don't know what method he used, but the silver shackles on his wrists loosened with a click and fell to the ground.
“Dang—”
The alloy shackles rolled on the ground for a circle and slowly stopped after a few seconds. The air instantly fell into deathly silence.
The other male insects stared at this scene in amazement, swallowing hard, almost suspecting that they were hallucinating: Damn, were they seeing things? This male insect actually broke the handcuffs just now? ! !
Haim opened his mouth in a daze, and the toothpick fell to the ground. He pointed at Asui, and was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "You... you you you..."
Asui ignored their shock, stood there and stretched his wrist and neck, ready to go out and rescue Xu Cenfeng. His goals were clear, first, to find his sword, second, to rescue Xu Cenfeng, and third, to escape from these robbers.
Perfect.
Seeing Asui was about to leave, Haim reacted and quickly grabbed him: "Where are you going?!"
Ah Sui turned around and looked at him, explaining seriously, "I want to run away. I'm an orphan. My great grandfather is very poor, and my third grandfather is missing. No one will spend money to redeem me."
"You, you, you..." Heim almost begged Asui to rescue him, but then he thought, how could this male insect alone defeat so many pirates outside, and he calmed down instantly: "How do you plan to escape?"
Asui gestured to him with the shape of a long sword: "I'm going to go find my sword. Once I find it, I can escape."
Heim suddenly remembered something: "You mean the thing tied with white cloth?"
On the first day Asui was imprisoned, the pirates confiscated his belongings. The sword seemed very important to Asui, and he hesitated for a long time before letting it go. Heim was deeply impressed.
Asui's eyes lit up: "That's it."
Heim pointed to the back of the starship: "They should have thrown your sword into the rear cabin. When we were tied up, the terminal and luggage we carried were also thrown there."
Ah Sui was also a man of quick and decisive character. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I'll go find it right away!"
After he finished speaking, he fumbled on the wall for a moment, found a red button and pressed it, and the closed door opened automatically. The two guards on duty outside heard the sound and turned back subconsciously, but their eyes went dark, and a figure suddenly flipped behind them, and then they were hit in the back of their necks at the same time, and they fell to the ground with a muffled groan and fainted.
Asui landed lightly on the ground, her figure as beautiful as a swallow. He turned his head to look inside the cabin door, and saw the male insects crowded at the door with excitement, pointing at the fainted guard on the ground and gesturing frantically: "Asui! Find the key quickly! The key is with them!"
Asui immediately went to search for the key when he heard that. He quietly opened the rear cabin of the starship while the other pirates were not paying attention, and as expected, he found a pile of scattered luggage and terminals inside. His precious sword was thrown casually in the corner, and the white cloth wrapped outside was covered with dust.
Asui took his sword and originally planned to leave, but he suddenly found that his white clothes were too conspicuous, so he turned back and dragged the two guards into the bushes, stripped off their black combat uniforms and put them on himself.
Now it's perfect!
Asui put on his helmet and found that the male insects were still gathered at the door. He ran over and asked kindly, "Are you really not going to take this opportunity to escape?"
Heim's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can you protect us?"
Ah Sui shook his head honestly and blinked innocently: "There are too many of you. I can't protect you all."
Heim and the others choked when they heard this and said in a frustrated tone, "Then why are you asking? This place is more than 10,000 kilometers away from the west. We may be close to the northern territory. We are not good at fighting like you, and we don't have a starship. It would be useless if we run away!"
Asui thought so too, scratched his head, and asked tentatively: "Then I will leave first?"
Heim had never encountered such a frustrating thing before. He was so upset that he finally said, "Go away."
Ah Sui hissed, "Then you are not allowed to tell on me."
Heim patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we won't tell on you. There's no benefit in telling on you. If you have a chance to escape, remember to ask the Empire to redeem us as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you can't escape. Those pirates won't kill the male insects. At most, they'll sleep with you."
After all, who would bother with a fool
After saying this, Heim directly pressed the hatch closing button to prevent the pirates from noticing anything was wrong. He waved goodbye to Asui through the window, and couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic in his heart: "Hey brother, may the insect god bless you."
Asui: “…”
He just wanted to escape, not commit suicide, so why were these people looking at him with such tragic eyes
But Ah Sui didn't have time to think about those things now. He looked around and found that there were many starships parked around, but the star pirates had all gone to the arena in the middle to watch the excitement. In addition, most of the male insects were weak and the guards were not very vigilant, so they looked very loose.
Asui recognized that one of the black and red starships was the place where he and Xu Cenfeng were imprisoned in the beginning. He leaped flexibly in the dark, landed silently, and jumped directly above the starship.
There were five or six pirates wandering below, yawning continuously, obviously very sleepy.
Seeing this, Asui grabbed a handful of gravel from his pocket, flipped his wrist, and struck out with a strong wind, silently killing three pirates. The other three pirates found that their companion had suddenly fainted, and rushed forward to check the situation. As a result, Asui turned over and landed on the ground, and slashed at the back of their necks with his palm with internal energy, killing three more pirates in the blink of an eye.
Asui took the key from the unconscious space pirate and opened the hatch directly. As soon as he entered, he found three male insects tied up inside. Xu Cenfeng sat quietly on the ground, concentrating on looking at the scenery outside the window, looking towards the distant north.
"Brother Cen Feng!"
Seeing this, Asui lowered his voice and happily called Xu Cenfeng, and quickly found the key to help him unlock the shackles, and said in a hurried voice: "Brother Cenfeng, I have knocked out those space pirates outside, let's escape quickly!"
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
