The Zerg are a group with a strict social hierarchy. Over the course of tens of millions of years, they have evolved into highly intelligent creatures that are no less intelligent than humans.
When Lu Yuan walked out of the hospital, he saw towering buildings with strange and mysterious shapes. Some looked like scrambled Rubik's cubes, and some looked like huge mushroom clouds. The outer shells were made of some strange glass that could clearly reflect people's figures and shone with magnificent colors in the sun.
Countless flying objects resembling interstellar battleships floated above the heavily polluted leaden sky. Looking up, they were so fast that only afterimages could be seen. An aerial highway stretched from the end of the sky, winding up between the towering fortresses, like a giant python going straight into the clouds.
Sometimes, a few aircraft would land in an open area on the street, then be ticketed and warned by the interstellar patrol. Finally, they had no choice but to take off and leave, disappearing in a whoosh.
Although Lu Yuan didn't want to admit it, he inexplicably felt like a bumpkin from the countryside who had come to the city. At least in the human world of the 20th century, there was absolutely no such fantastic architecture and design.
"Sir, please move aside."
Just as Lu Yuan was standing on the street in a daze, someone suddenly pushed his shoulder, and then a team of patrol police passed by him and hurried towards the medical center.
Lu Yuan had sharp ears and could vaguely hear the leading patrolman talking on the intercom: "The G76 search team just received a report that a male insect was beaten at the Interstellar Medical Center. We are rushing to the scene..."
Lu Yuan: “…”
Lu Yuan turned around and left.
Lu Yuan unexpectedly opened his eyes and turned his head to look beside him, only to see a chubby young male insect who had sat down next to him at some point. He was lowering his head and placing a registration information form on his legs, writing something with difficulty.
Lu Yuan didn’t want to explain too much. He just said “hmm” when he heard it, and no emotion could be heard from him.
Fuck it, he didn’t run to the police station himself? ! !
After Lu Yuan realized this, he cursed softly and immediately turned around to leave. However, before he could even reach the door, he was stopped by two female soldiers with guns on duty: "Stop!"
Lu Yuan choked: "..."
Lu Yuan was not used to being too close to strangers, especially since the male insect had already squeezed him. He moved his feet and was about to get up and leave, but unexpectedly the other party suddenly leaned over and asked in a familiar manner: "Hey, are you here to recruit soldiers too?"
The female guard at the gate asked back, "If we're not recruiting soldiers, why are you here?"
The female soldier on duty frowned and said, "Sir, the admission time has ended. The military building is closed during the conscription registration period. No insects are allowed to enter or leave. There are still two hours before the registration ends. Please wait patiently."
Seeing this, Lu Yuan paused, fearing that the other party might accidentally fire and kill him: "... I have something to go out for a while."
He couldn't say that he ran away after the fight and was accidentally pushed in by the swarm of insects. Seeing that the female guarding the gate had begun to look at him with suspicion, Lu Yuan had no choice but to turn back. Two hours is two hours, and it will be over in a little sleep.
Lu Yuan was shocked for a moment, because he suddenly realized that all the people coming and going in the hall were female soldiers, with guns on their waists and wearing military uniforms. There were at least several hundred of them.
The female soldier did not speak, but raised her hand and pointed at the holographic projection screen behind him. A line of golden and majestic characters was suspended in the air -
Lu Yuan found a seat on the bench in the corner, sat down, pulled his collar up, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap. However, before he had slept for long, there was a sudden creaking sound beside him, and even the chair shook twice.
Although the Zerg have nothing to do with humans, the characters they use are strangely similar to those on Earth. How similar are they? Even Lu Yuan, who had missed the nine-year compulsory education, could understand what was written on it.
"Military Academy Registration Office?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise, "I don't plan to enlist!"
"?"
Registration office of Badler Military Academy for Nobles.
The male insect had a chubby face, short red hair that was very eye-catching, and a few freckles on the bridge of his nose, making him look quite childish.
Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he suddenly had a bad feeling: "Registration? What conscription?"
It has been confirmed that he is an illegal resident. If he is arrested and put in jail, it would be really bad luck.
Lu Yuan was obviously very skilled at running away after a fight. He immediately covered his face with his collar, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the most crowded place on the street. As a result, because he didn't look at the road, he was accidentally led by the "people" to another place similar to the registration building. By the time he reacted, he couldn't get out.
"???"
The male insect touched his nose and looked a little embarrassed. "Well, my name is Red Palin, and I'm from a third-magnitude star. What's your name?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, wondering why this little brat was so talkative, but he still answered: "Lu Yuan."
Seeing that he was willing to pay attention to him, Red's eyes lit up, and like kindergarten children forming cliques, he asked enthusiastically, "Are you also from the third-class star? But I heard that Badler Academy is very strict about the number of female insects to be admitted this year, and only 500 places are open. Although there is still one day left for enrollment, the places have already been taken up by the nobles of the main star in advance."
Seeing that he mistook him for a female insect, Lu Yuan did not explain too much. Anyway, he was neither male nor female now, so who knew what he was: "You signed up for conscription when all the places were taken?"
This little fat boy doesn't look like he can be a soldier.
Red scratched his hair and explained, "Although all the female insect spots have been taken, there are still a few male insect spots left. I came all the way here from the third-class star just to try my luck."
Lu Yuan asked casually, "Is this academy great?" Reid's expression twitched when he heard this, as if Lu Yuan had asked a very stupid question: "The female insects who can study at Badler are either aristocrats among aristocrats or elites among elites. After graduation, they will all become high-ranking military officials without exception. Do you think it's great?"
Lu Yuan thought that was quite impressive. He stared at Red's fair neck and asked uncertainly, "But you look like a male insect?"
Red patted his chest, looking quite proud, blurting out the truth: "My father said that all the students who can study there are female nobles, and asked me to try my best to marry one and bring him back to be the queen, so that our family can squeeze into the imperial capital's aristocratic circle."
Kingdom, glory, power, these are everything the Zerg pursue, and they seem to be no different from humans on Earth.
Badler Military Academy gathers almost all the elite nobles of the entire empire. Compared with the rich network of contacts and mate-choosing environment, the high-quality teaching resources have become the least worth mentioning thing.
Female insects can find scarce male insects in it, and low-level nobles can find a ladder to heaven in it. It is difficult to enter the upper class, but if you are in the Badler Military Noble Academy, it is very easy.
Since the establishment of the Salilan Empire, more than 90% of the senior military officials have graduated from Badler Academy. Successive Insect Emperors have regarded it as the core force of the empire's future, which shows its outstanding status.
It is obvious that Red is a civilian male insect who shoulders the heavy responsibility of his "family". It would be more accurate to say that he is here for a blind date rather than going to school.
Lu Yuan finally understood what he said, and raised his eyebrows lightly, but did not comment on it. Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Red asked curiously, "Aren't you going to sign up for the conscription? Why don't you have an application form?"
Lu Yuan: “I didn’t take it.”
Red was unexpectedly enthusiastic. Hearing this, he pulled him to the front desk without saying anything. "Come on, I'll take you to get it. There's only less than an hour left before the registration ends. If you don't fill it out now, it will be too late."
Lu Yuan frowned subconsciously, feeling that the insect in front of him was a little too enthusiastic. But in order not to arouse suspicion, he went to the front desk to get a form out of curiosity.
"Hello, this is your registration form. After filling in your identity information, please enter the electronic version in the computer room in the middle of the hall, and then submit it to the registration office. Each insect is limited to one copy, so please keep it well and don't lose it."
The front desk worker handed over a registration form and kindly reminded, "The terminal will end information entry ten minutes in advance. There are still forty minutes before the registration ends. Please use your time well."
"Thanks."
Lu Yuan took the registration form and looked at it carefully. He saw that it was filled with forms that needed to be filled in. Not only did it include name, address, and ID card, but even family members had to be filled in. It was as long as a short essay.
Red handed him a pen and urged him, "Fill it out quickly. Time is running out."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at Reid's registration form, then glanced at the registration form of a female insect passing by him. Suddenly, he realized that their names sounded quite foreign, and he couldn't help but lower his head and fell into deep thought:
Should he give himself a foreign name? Otherwise, he would look too different.
What's that called, Jack
No, that's too cliché.
Mike
Too ordinary.
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking hard, there was a commotion outside the hall. He looked towards the door and saw a brown-haired male insect walking in accompanied by dozens of female servants, immediately catching the attention of all the insects present.
Seeing this, Red exclaimed in surprise: "It's Wenger!"
Lu Yuan looked at him: "Do you know him?"
Red sighed and scratched his hair. He looked a little discouraged for some reason. "I don't know him. I just saw him on Starnet. He is the heir to the Monk family title. His blood purity is 40%. If he signs up, I may have no hope. There are not many places left."
The blood purity of most male insects on the planet Salilanfa is only about 30%, but Wenger's is as high as 40%. Coupled with his prominent family background and handsome appearance, his allure to female insects is undoubtedly fatal.
When he stepped into the hall, almost all the female insects couldn't help but take a step forward, revealing fascinated expressions, and their eyes fell on him as if they had taken root and couldn't be pulled out.
Only Lu Yuan was indifferent. He even comforted Red for the first time: "The admission time has long passed. The venue is closed during the conscription registration period. He can't get in."
Reid was silent for a moment: "...Who told you that?"
Lu Yuan pointed to the door: "The female soldier on duty."
Before he finished speaking, the female soldiers on duty who had stopped him suddenly put away their guns, untied the cordon at the door, and bowed to the male insect named Wenger and gave him a noble salute: "Sir, I am happy to serve you."
Lu Yuan: “…”
fuck!
