Ever since coming to the Zerg, Asui felt that some of his good qualities, such as kindness, tolerance, magnanimity, and even his soul were beginning to be destroyed.
Forty undercover agents! Forty undercover agents! He was the only one who was kept in the dark from beginning to end!
At night, Ah Sui was so angry that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Xu Cenfeng heard the creaking of the bed board and quietly opened his eyes in the dark: "Ah Sui, stop moving and sleep well."
Asui regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He lowered his voice and said to Xu Cenfeng: "We should have run to the north today. If we run to the north, we won't be caught."
Xu Cenfeng thought to himself, how stupid! If you didn't run to the west, how would you have met Brand? He turned over in the dark and looked at Asui, saying calmly, "In fact, there are also pursuers at the exit of the dense forest in the north. No matter which direction we run, we will be caught."
The difference is that the main force is in the west, commanded by Major General Ax, and is closer to Brand; while the jungle exit on the other side is under the charge of the northern leader Phaeth, who is responsible for capturing pirates, and the captured pirates will be directly escorted to Blackstone Prison.
In the previous life, Xu Cenfeng and Asui were accidentally separated in the war, and there was no one like Kui Ke following them. Asui ran to the west by mistake, and Xu Cenfeng drifted to the north. It can only be said that everything is destined.
Xu Cenfeng should have gone north with the fleeing pirates last night, but he was worried that Asui would take the wrong path and not meet the destined person, so he hesitated for a moment and stayed in the dense forest.
It turned out that his choice was correct, because Quick and the others really took Asui to the north.
Asui thought so too. There were teams on duty in the west, not to mention the north. In the cold and quiet night, he hugged the quilt tightly in his arms, and felt the loneliness again after a long time. Just when Xu Cenfeng thought he would say "I'm afraid of the dark", Asui was silent for a long time, but only uttered one sentence:
Upon hearing this, Asui quietly opened his eyes in the darkness, but closed them again after a while without saying anything.
At this moment, he suddenly missed a warm embrace, just like a puppy missing his soft nest. Even in the dark, he didn't have to be afraid, as long as he curled up hard, he could get shelter and a sense of security.
"Big Chief, your breakfast."
The fat cook shuddered when he heard this: "Ah? You want me to come over?"
At seven o'clock in the morning, the fat chef came again with the food cart to deliver breakfast. The other pirates still had compressed biscuits and drinking water, but Asui and Xu Cenfeng's lunch boxes contained fried eggs, sausages and a bowl of hot porridge.
The fat cook was almost strangled to death by Asui yesterday, so he was inevitably frightened. He hid at the side of the cell door, trying to stay away from the railings, and made sure that Asui could not reach his collar. Then he stretched out his arm and carefully handed the lunch box in through the window:
The degree of this kind of blow was just right, neither too deep nor too shallow. It could make Asui realize that he should be on guard against others, while also allowing him to retain his original pure and sincere heart.
It's rare.
Ah Sui hadn't slept all night, and a faint layer of dark blue appeared under his eyes. He stood expressionlessly beside the cell door, took the lunch box and handed it to Xu Cenfeng, then waved to the fat cook: "Come here."
"Major General Brand?"
Ah Sui thought who else could be outside except the fat cook, and frowned, "Don't worry, I won't pinch you."
Asui: "Is his injury serious?"
In a trance, Xu Cenfeng seemed to sigh and said in an inaudible voice:
The fat cook finally came to his senses after hearing this. That's right, Major General Brand and their leader have always been ambiguous. Maybe they have been together for a long time. It is reasonable to inquire about the situation: "I heard that Major General Brand was rescued from the wild by the search team yesterday, and was placed in the starship next door to recuperate, but he has not woken up yet."
But Xu Cenfeng didn't think it was a bad thing, because he couldn't follow Asui for the rest of his life.
Asui's credibility was still guaranteed in the alliance. Upon hearing this, the fat cook approached the prison door tremblingly, ready to run away if he disagreed. However, Asui whispered, "Do you know where Brand is?"
Because the strength of setbacks cannot be controlled, some lessons are too shallow to make people feel any pain, so they repeat the same mistakes over and over again; some lessons are too deep, and just one time can hurt a person to pieces, crushing him to ashes, and he will never be able to stand up again for the rest of his life.
"A Sui, we have gone very far away from home. One day you will realize that this world is not what you imagined..."
"Brother Cen Feng, it's getting late, let's go to bed."
The night passed quietly and soon it was dawn.
Some people need twenty years or a lifetime to grow up, while some people grow up overnight. Asui's character is too simple, and his luck is too good. He has never met any bad people since he was a child. What happened during this period undoubtedly brought him a big blow.
Fat Cook: "Don't worry, the self-healing ability of military females is very strong. Major General Brand is an A-level female insect, so there won't be any major problems."
Asui was relieved after hearing this. He suddenly asked, "Where are Heim and the others?"
Although those male insects had been learning martial arts from him, they were not very capable at all. During the war, no one knew where they had gone and they were nowhere to be seen now.
The fat cook looked around after hearing this, then lowered his voice and quietly revealed an inside information to Asui: "In fact, the army only captured a part of the space pirates last night, and a small part of them are still on the loose. Lord Heim should have been kidnapped by those space pirates. Major General Ax is worried about this matter."
"Quick and the others said that the army will not return to the imperial capital so quickly. They have tried to steal the prison key in the past few days and will let you go as soon as they have the chance."
Ah Sui was still angry that they had lied to him, but he could no longer be angry after hearing this. He grasped the cold iron bars and banged his head against the cell door. He never thought that he would be locked up with a group of space pirates: "Brother Cen Feng and I didn't want to be space pirates at all. We had no choice."
The fat cook hushed and said, "Captain, Black Fang and Carlos are also in jail. It's not enough for us to clear your name. Those hundreds of pirates will bite you back for their lives. It's hard to say what will happen when they go to the military court. In my opinion, it's easiest to escape midway."
Ah Sui paused when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him: "Then wouldn't I become a fugitive?"
The fat cook said, "A fugitive is better than a prisoner. Just wait patiently for a few days."
He didn't dare to talk to Asuido for fear of being discovered by the other pirates. After he finished speaking, he looked around nervously and started distributing breakfast again, pushing the food cart forward amid shouting and cursing.
Ah Sui couldn't help but feel a headache, so he could only lie back on the bed. Xu Cenfeng turned over and sat up from the bed, opened the lunch box and started to eat breakfast, and handed Ah Sui a sausage by the way: "Eat something?"
Asui shook his head: "I can't eat." Xu Cenfeng had no choice but to withdraw his hand and slowly began to eat his meal. Just as he was thinking about something, a low voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Brother Cenfeng, if you have a chance in two days, you can escape."
Xu Cenfeng drank a mouthful of porridge and keenly heard some hidden meanings: "What about you?"
Asui shook his head: "I won't run away anymore. I want to go to the city to look for my third grandfather."
Xu Cenfeng asked: "Aren't you afraid of being alone?"
In fact, if he hadn’t been worried about Asui going to jail alone, he should have left yesterday.
Ah Sui was silent for a moment, then turned over and looked at Xu Cenfeng. His tone was still pure, as soft as the white clouds floating in the sky, but now it had a calmer tone: "Brother Cenfeng, we both have people to wait for. You want to go find our friends in the north, and I want to wait for Brand to wake up, and then go with him to find Third Grandpa."
Asui said: "I can't hold you back any longer. I will go to the north to find you when I have the chance."
Brandt should save him, right
Even if he couldn't save him, Asui wasn't afraid. There was no death penalty under the Salilan Law, and he hadn't done anything bad. If he was arrested, he wouldn't be incarcerated for more than a few days.
Asui had been thinking about all sorts of things, with uncertainty and worry about the future, but he was finally not as confused as before. He remembered what the fat cook said about Brand being in the starship next door, so he stretched out his hand and quietly measured a distance beside the bed:
They were so close to each other...
Brand was seriously injured and was in a coma for three days before he slowly woke up. He felt that he had a bizarre dream, and in the dream, only Ah Sui was frightened by his insect form and fled in panic, but in the end, the other party seemed to stumble back...
The memory was too confused and he wasn't sure if it was real.
The military doctor in charge saw that the female insect lying on the bed was breathing rapidly, and her chest rose and fell violently for a moment. However, before he could go forward to check on her, Brand opened his eyes the next second and sat up suddenly from the bed:
"A Sui!"
The military doctor was shocked when he saw this: "Major General Brand?!"
Brand was breathing heavily, his light blue pupils were originally pinpoint-shaped, with the cold ferocity of a wild animal, and he finally came back to his senses after hearing the military doctor's call. His pupils slowly expanded to normal, and he looked around, then looked down at the gauze on his body, and asked in a daze: "...Where is this?"
The voice was hoarse and broken, as if it had been burned by fire.
The military doctor checked the worm pattern on Brand's neck, reached out his hand to test the temperature, and then explained in a low voice: "Major General Brand, this is the temporary camp of the army. The search team rescued you in the wild a few days ago. Major General Ax ordered us to take good care of you."

Search team
Brand tried to recall the scene of that night, but his brain felt a sharp pain like a needle stabbing. He suddenly grabbed the military doctor's wrist and asked coldly, "Did they only save me? Did they find a male insect with black hair and black eyes in the wild?"
The military doctor was stunned: "A male insect with black hair and black eyes? Are they space pirates? Major General Axe captured a group of space pirates a few days ago, and there happened to be two male insects with black hair and black eyes among them..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Brande throw off the quilt and stagger out of bed. He hurried forward to support him: "Major General, where are you going?!"
Brand was afraid that something might happen to Asui, so he covered the wound on his shoulder and frowned as he asked, "Where are the two male insects being held? Take me there."
Although this fleet was under the command of Axe, Brand was on the same level as him and had certain command authority. The military doctor did not dare to disobey, so he could only take Brande to change into clean clothes and lead him to the starship where the pirates were imprisoned.
Asui and Xu Cenfeng were male insects, so their treatment was inevitably special. The other pirates were crowded in a small cell with dozens of insects, but only the two of them lived in a single room.
Ah Sui used to be restless, but he has been particularly quiet in the past two days. He always lies on his bed and thinks about life. He has sharp hearing and suddenly hears a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the corridor. He mutters in confusion: "Huh? Someone is coming?"
This starship was a detention center. Except for the fat cook who delivered meals, ordinary soldiers were not allowed to approach. The footsteps this time were very messy and light, not like those of the fat cook.
Asui looked through the railing and saw a guard suddenly unlock the door. The iron sliding door opened with a "clatter", revealing the figure of the "visitor" outside.
Standing outside the door was a young female insect major general. She was tall and slender, wearing a white military uniform and black boots, and inexplicably exuded a sense of cold abstinence. When I looked up, I saw a pale face from excessive blood loss, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a handsome and gentle look that was completely different from the cold and hard military uniform. It was Brand.
"Brand?!"
Asui was surprised to see this and sat up from the bed, obviously he didn't expect the other party to come here suddenly. During the days in prison, Asui had been hoping that Brande would wake up early to save him, but when he actually met him, he was at a loss.
Brand turned his head and looked at the guard: "All of you go down."
The guard was a little hesitant when he heard this: "Major General..."
Brand's voice became colder: "Get down!"
The guard thought that there were only two weak male insects trapped inside, and they should not be able to cause any harm to Brande. After hesitating for a moment, he left: "I'll be guarding the door. You can tell me directly if you have anything."
After watching the guards leave, Brand walked into the prison. His eyes were on Asui from the moment he entered the cell. He felt surprise, worry, and helplessness, which finally turned into a complex array of emotions.
"A Sui...?"
Brand walked in front of Asui, frowned and spoke in a low voice, with a bit of unspeakable uneasiness. He tentatively raised his hand towards Asui, as if he wanted to touch the male insect's cheek, but for some reason, he hesitated to do so.
He wasn't sure if the male insects would be afraid of him...
