I Come from Afar Within the Zerg

Chapter 145: near

They were in a sunken valley, with snow up to their knees. Asui didn't understand why he had to hide in the dense forest. Hearing this, he panicked and said, "Why...why should I hide in there?"

In the wilderness, Asui didn't know where to find a doctor, but he couldn't just stay here and wait to die. After he finished speaking, he struggled to push away the thick snow on the ground and wanted to carry Brand on his back, but the female insect suddenly pushed him away and growled angrily: "I told you to hide inside, didn't you hear me?!"

Brandt's rationality was almost gone. He lowered his head in pain, clutching the snow on the ground tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands. Finally, he looked up at Asui.

In the dark night, Brand's eyes had completely turned scarlet, and a fine mesh pattern appeared. He stared at Asui with cold eyes, no longer with the gentle smile of the past, only with the creepy look of a predator looking at its prey.

Asui was stunned.

Brand gritted his teeth and spat out three words: "Hide inside..."

Asui felt that Brand in front of him looked strange and frightened, and his mind went blank. He instinctively followed the other party's instructions, staggered and turned to hide behind a big tree deep in the dense forest, feeling extremely uneasy.

When Brand saw Asui disappear from his sight, he suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground in the snow with a loud bang. He rolled down the hillside, groaning in pain, and then his back arched. His body underwent earth-shaking changes in a faint white light.

The sound of wind blew through the forest, carrying with it countless flying snowflakes.

Asui leaned his back against a dead tree. He had always had sharp hearing, but at this moment he could only hear his own deafening heartbeat. Several times he couldn't help but want to look back to see Brande's condition, but finally he held back.

It was a cold night. Asui's legs were frozen and his pants were soaked by the snow. Every minute and every second seemed so long, but it was still quiet behind him, without any sound.

“Plop!”

As Sui retreated in panic while speaking. He couldn't even use his Qinggong skills and could only use his hands and feet to crawl further away. He fell every two steps. His face was covered with snow foam and tears. He looked extremely embarrassed.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound on the snow slope. Ah Sui was so frightened that his face turned pale and he sat down on the ground. He had been afraid of insects since he was a child. He was afraid of caterpillars, butterflies, and anything that looked like an insect. Now, a "bug" whose size was magnified countless times suddenly appeared in front of him. It is no exaggeration to say that he was almost scared to death.

"I beg you not to come over..."

Asui crawled very far, and his frightened mind finally cleared up a little. He suddenly stopped running and looked behind him blankly.

Asui climbed up the hillside with difficulty, trying to find Brand in the white snow. However, a deep pit appeared in the valley below. When he looked down and saw the scene inside, he was so scared that he froze on the spot.

Seeing this, the insect moved its body with difficulty, as if it wanted to catch up, but for some reason it did not move. The wings behind it trembled weakly for a moment, and there was a pool of coagulated blood under the roots, but it was buried by the wind and snow and could not be seen clearly. The blue compound eyes reflected Ah Sui's fearful figure running away, dimming for a moment in the wind and snow.

It was so large that if Asui stood in front of it, he would have to raise his head with great effort to see the whole picture.

A gigantic arthropod was quietly lurking in the deep pit.

What a big bug...

Can not look,

Can not look,

Brandt said he wouldn't look back...

"You... don't come over here..."

Boom!

When Asui gets nervous, he likes to bite his fingers. He lowered his head and bit his frozen fingertips without even noticing that they were bleeding. He couldn't understand why the female insect wouldn't let him turn back.

However, such a beautiful animal has a pair of sharp forelimbs, which glow like steel in the moonlight. It has two black tentacles on its head, and its dark blue compound eyes are mysterious and silently exude a dangerous aura that makes people dare not approach it.

It’s over. Could that giant arthropod just now be Brand

Asui couldn't help shaking for a moment, especially when the bug noticed the movement behind it, rustled in the snow and turned to look at him. Asui almost cried out. He waved his hands in panic and said:

Brandt was injured, what if something happened

Asui finally couldn't help but walked out of the dense forest. He walked outside with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The cold wind blew in his face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes. Only a cold moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the snow.

No, I have to see it.

Its body looks very much like a butterfly, with six legs on the ground and translucent wings spread out like a dragonfly, shining brightly and beautifully. When it trembles gently in the wind and snow, it looks like fragile yet bright camellia petals.

This thought was like a bolt from the blue, giving Asui a heavy blow. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. A few days ago, the doctor had told him that Brand's mental power was extremely unstable and could enter the insect state at any time. Now there was an extra insect in the snow for no reason, and no matter how he thought about it, it was definitely related to Brand.

How to do how to do

Although Asui was afraid of insects, he couldn't just leave Brande there alone, especially since he was injured. He hugged the sword tightly in his arms, and could only crawl back trembling with fear, leaving a long trail of footprints in the snow.

The huge creature still stayed in the original position without moving. Because the hillside had sunk, most of its body was covered with snow, leaving only its translucent wings and head exposed, and its black tentacles trembling slightly in the wind.

Asui didn't dare to crawl in front of it, so he made a big circle and crawled to the back. He stared at the wings of the insect carefully for a moment, and finally found out in despair that the other party was really Brand.

Ah Sui was about to cry. In fact, he had already cried, but his face was covered with snow foam, so it was not obvious.

Ah Sui lay down beside the deep pit, looking at Brande with red eyes, his voice full of fear and helplessness:

"Brand... Can you please change back..."

This bug would not talk to him like Brande did, nor would it smile at him tenderly like Brande did. Asui wanted to leave but didn't dare to. He could only lie beside the bug and keep talking to it, his voice trembling:

"Change back and I'll carry you to see a doctor..."

"You are too big now. I can't carry you..."

Asui had never been so desperate. He saw the blood at the base of the female insect's wings, and crawled over tremblingly to help the other party check the wound. As a result, he found that there were several deep blood marks on Brand's back, but now they had neither a medicine box nor a doctor, and there was a large group of pursuers behind them, so there was no way to treat the wound.

Asui didn't know where he got the courage from, but he suppressed his fear and crawled to the bottom of the deep pit. He put his sword aside, closed his eyes and tilted his head, trying his best to ignore the other party's original form, and reached out to hug the cold and hard abdomen of the female insect to pull Brand out of the deep pit.

"hiss!!!!"

The female insect felt its pain and suddenly let out a shrill hissing sound. Its wings spread out suddenly, and its cold blue compound eyes stared at Asui, who fell to the ground in fear. Its sharp forelimbs pierced the ground, flashing a cold light in the moonlight.

Brando may not be rational now. The remaining animal nature in his body will make him prey on weak creatures when he is extremely weak to speed up the healing of his wounds.

Judging from the size of the two, Asui is now considered a "weak creature".

However, Asui had no idea how dangerous he was. He was so scared that he instinctively crawled several meters away. Suddenly he remembered that Brand was still behind him, so he crawled back pitifully like a homeless puppy.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to see a doctor..."

Ah Sui wiped away his tears, then hugged the female insect's abdomen with trembling hands and dragged it out of the pit. The female insect's antennae caught the familiar smell of pheromones in the air, and although it seemed unusually agitated, it only made a threatening hissing sound and did not attack.

Ah Sui dragged the female insect out of the pit. He was so cold that he couldn't even speak clearly. He was about to use the terminal on his wrist to contact Xu Cenfeng to find a doctor, but at this moment, he heard the roar of a starship flying in the distance, and there were more than a dozen pure black warships in the sky.

"The suspected traces of space pirates have been found below, everyone land and search!"

The general in charge of hunting down the pirates discovered something unusual under the snow through a thermal imager and ordered the starship to land. However, when they walked into the snow with guns and began to search, they found a huge female insect under the hillside not far away. It was a southern female insect with a white body and shining wings.

The captain's face changed slightly when he saw this: "Oh no, it's Major General Brand!"

He recognized Brand's wings, which had a faint golden edge. He was about to step forward to confirm, but the female insect, perhaps sensing the approach of a strange aura, instantly went into a manic state, waving its sharp forelimbs fiercely in the air, and the strong wind directly scared away the female soldiers who were rushing over from all directions.

"Captain, Major General Brand has now transformed into an insect and won't let us get close at all!"

"There are two inhibitors left on the starship, go get them!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the team members hurried back to the starship and brought down a medicine box, which happened to have two light blue enhanced inhibitors left. The captain ordered the surrounding female soldiers to disperse, and then threw a few sleeping smoke bombs next to Brand. When the manic female insect fell into a semi-comatose state due to the effect of the medicine, he covered his mouth and nose and went forward to help him inject the inhibitor.

Asui hid in a nearby winter-leaved tree, hiding his breath under the cover of snow and leaves. He had just seen the group of female soldiers searching for him, and he didn't dare to leave Brand alone here, so he could only hide in the tree next to him.

The sleeping smoke below had not yet dissipated. Asui nervously covered his mouth and nose, not daring to make a sound.

What should he do? The group of female soldiers below seem to be Brand's companions. Should he go down

But he was a space pirate now. What if he was locked up? Xu Cenfeng and Quick were nowhere to be found. He had to find them first.

Asui was so panicked that he mustered up the courage to look down, and saw a flash of white light. The huge female insect below had quietly turned into a human form with a handsome face and slightly curly blonde hair. It was Brand.

The female soldiers carried the seriously injured and unconscious Brand onto a stretcher. When they were about to leave, they suddenly kicked something with their feet. When they looked down, they found it was a long sword.

A female soldier bent down and picked it up: "Hey, why is there a sword here?"

Asui, who was hiding in the tree, was shocked when he saw this: Oh no, he was in such a hurry to hide in the tree just now that he forgot to bring his sword up!

"Don't worry about it. Contact the military doctor quickly. Major General Ax has been waiting for news from Major General Brand. Let's go back and report!"

The female soldiers were busy treating Brand's injuries and did not stay for long. They thought the sword belonged to Brand, so they took the sword on board the starship and left together soon after.

Asui had been waiting on the tree for half an hour before he finally came down. When he landed, his legs were stiff and numb, and he fell flat on his face. When he got up from the snow, his hair was a mess.

Asui looked around blankly, and found that he was the only one left in the vast suburbs:

what to do
