After leaving the hospital, a large group of female insects took Lan Ze to the Interstellar Household Registration Administration.
Along the way, Lan Ze enjoyed the treatment of a national treasure. All the strong men and muscular men surrounded him with great interest. Hull and the two blue-eyed twin brothers also sent a team of 20 insects to escort Lan Ze. I am afraid that the giant pandas on Earth are not as popular as him in the interstellar space.
Although he knew from the introductory reading materials about larvae that the ratio of male to female was pitifully low, Lan Ze had never imagined that the ratio was as terrifying as one in ten thousand.
The number of male insects is so small that the reproduction of the entire species is at risk.
Perhaps this is nature's way of checking the powerful Zerg for the sake of ecological balance. The Zerg, such a powerful creature, already has such a long life. If their reproduction ability was as strong as that of ants, given the Zerg's strength and wisdom, I am afraid that all the resources in the galaxy would be plundered by the Zerg.
The average lifespan of the Zerg is 502 years, and the adult age of male Zerg is 38 years old. Lan Ze estimated in his mind that if the adult age standard on Earth is used as a reference, his current age is equivalent to seven or eight years old in the eyes of Earthlings.
Lan Ze closed his eyes and told himself to stay calm.
But when several mighty and sturdy men circled around him with a loving look on their faces, Lan Ze's mentality finally collapsed.
He stood up from his chair, put down the chubby blue whale doll in his arms, and said seriously, "What about my household registration?"
"Oh my dear, this is not something a little insect like you should worry about. The household registration management staff will solve this problem!" said a female insect with a doting look on her face.
Lan Ze subconsciously ignored the loving look in his eyes and asked the question that worried him the most at the moment: "Where should I live then?"
The female insect continued with a smile: "Okay, little insect, don't worry about these things, let's go play on the slide, okay?"
Lan Ze saw the pink slide in the corner of the wall out of the corner of his eye. The slide was wrapped in a layer of cotton-like substance and looked very soft. There were two colorful flags on the top of the slide.
Lan Ze decisively refused: "No, no, no, thank you, I don't like playing this."
The tall female insect sighed a little disappointed, but after a few seconds she became excited again and kept circling around Lan Ze.
This embarrassing situation lasted for about twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, a female insect with a serious expression walked up to Lan Ze.
A light blue transparent screen was floating behind him, on which was the ID photo of Lan Ze that he had taken not long ago.
An hour ago, Leighton, the head of the Interstellar Household Registration Administration, rushed to the Household Registration Office in Gemini at the speed of light on the fastest interstellar battleship.
He checked the household registers of the entire galaxy and found that among the 30 billion insects in the galaxy, there were a total of 35,777,689 male insect cubs. These cubs had been strictly protected before they were born, and no cubs had gone missing during this period.
A male insect cub was found in the ruins, his bone age was only 15 years old. Leiden checked the interstellar archives for the past 500 years, but there was no record of this male insect cub in the interstellar household registration archives. This had never happened before.
The impossible thing happened suddenly. Even if you use your toes to think about it, you will know that the origin of this larval male insect is very unusual.
Leighton looked at Lan Ze with a complicated expression. Lan Ze was looking at him curiously with his big amber eyes.
No female insect would dislike a male cub, especially a cute male cub, but a male cub that hides secrets and dangers makes female insects feel complicated.
Leighton sat down in front of Lan Ze, with the light screen across the two of them. Leighton clasped his hands, leaned forward, and looked at Lan Ze sharply with a pair of dark green eyes.
"Do you remember why you appeared in the ruins?"
Lan Ze shook his head and said in a harmless baby voice: "I don't remember, I can only remember my name."
A deep "Chuan" appeared between Leiden's eyebrows. He said in the usual low voice of the female Zerg: "Your name is Lan Ze."
Lan Ze nodded: "Yes, my name is Lan Ze."
"There are 13 male larvae in the interstellar family with the surname Lan, but you are not one of them."
Suddenly there was an extra black insect among the rare male insects, and it was an even rarer male insect cub. Even Leighton felt a bit confused.
Lan Ze blinked innocently: "Then what should I do?"
The little insect cub obviously didn't know how to feel sad, nor did he understand the seriousness of the situation. Leighton rubbed his temple and said in a gentle tone, "There has never been a missing male insect cub in the 5,000 years since the establishment of the Interstellar Federation. Your situation is very special, so we can't choose your guardian according to your wishes. We must be very careful to choose a suitable guardian for you."
Lan Ze nodded and said very sincerely: "I understand. Who is the guardian you have chosen for me?"
Leighton's frown finally relaxed a little, his clasped hands loosened, his straight back relaxed a little, and he said very gently: "We are still discussing this. For now, you can stay in the lounge of the Male Insect Protection Center. There are already insects there who have prepared a room for you."
Lan Ze exhaled lightly, narrowed his eyes and smiled at Leighton.
Watching the little male insect leave, Leighton's brows, which had just relaxed, began to frown again. He opened his personal terminal and said with a worried look on his face, "Contact the Genetic Research Institute to get Lan Ze's fund sample as soon as possible. At the same time, contact Admiral Chu Ran as soon as possible to ask him if he is willing to be the guardian of this male insect cub, because I suspect that this male insect cub may be a genetically mutated alien insect."
The cold black mecha was like a beast lying in the bushes. Chu Ran, standing in the ruins, turned off his personal terminal and narrowed his narrow eyes slightly.
His eyes were shrouded in a lingering gray mist. Meng Chi stood behind him and sneered, "Leighton, this stupid bug, is quite sensitive. But, his guess is not without reason."
Meng Yu, who was standing nearby, stretched his body and said lazily, "Apart from the alien insects, which other insects can walk out of this ruin unscathed? Isn't this obvious?"
Meng Chi spread his hands: "But we all know that mutated genes can only be manifested in adulthood, and Lan Ze is obviously different from us."
Meng Yu: "Perhaps you have overlooked one thing, that is, we have never seen a mutated male insect. God knows what a mutated male insect looks like."
Meng Chi sighed, "We have searched every corner of the ruins but have not found any relevant clues. It seems that the little male insect appeared out of thin air. It would be strange if it did not arouse the suspicion of the insects."
The two twin bugs discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. They looked at their admiral in tacit understanding.
Their admiral was looking up at the gray-black sky over the abandoned planet, so the two bugs had no choice but to start arguing again.
Lan Ze had been living in the Male Insect Protection Center for a week. Just when he thought he would have to stay here for a while, Leighton knocked on the door and came in. He pointed at the document displayed on the light screen and said to Lan Ze solemnly, "After careful research, we decided to let Admiral Chu Ran be your guardian. The Male Insect Protection Center and the Interstellar Household Registration Administration will also pay close attention to your growth."
General Chu Ran
The man with the gray eyes
Although he seems difficult to get along with, it seems like a good thing if he is a guardian.
Lan Ze nodded and said in a baby voice: "Okay, thank you very much!"
When he was about to leave the Male Insect Protection Center, a large group of female insects crowded at Lan Ze's door to see him off.
So many muscular men, nearly two meters tall, crowded together, and the scene was once very spectacular.
Just as the big man gave him a teddy bear, another muscular man gave him a fluffy little yellow bird with a reluctant look on his face.
In addition, the gifts given to him by these big brothers included some candies, several bags of milkshakes of various flavors, and several piles of fancy clothes.
The gifts were piled up into a small mountain. The 1.72-meter-tall Lan Ze stood among a group of big men, looking at the pile of gifts for infants and young children with mixed feelings.
This complicated feeling did not dissipate until Chu Ran arrived. Chu Ran still had the same expressionless face as always. Lan Ze obediently followed Chu Ran onto the familiar black battleship.
Just before stepping onto the battleship, Lan Ze couldn't help but look back at the female insects who were coming to see him off, wondering if it was his illusion.
Lan Ze always felt that these mighty and muscular men were about to cry in the next second.
