That day, all the creatures on planet AS192 vaguely felt an indescribable throbbing...
Something happened, something rooted in their blood and genes was awakening.
It's just that their thinking is chaotic and low-level. They can only raise their heads and stare at the brilliant crimson sky, trembling slightly because of fear.
The feeling is even stronger among the alien creatures near Xavier's nesting cliff.
They suddenly stopped all their movements, and their thorns, venom, or cover colors appeared at the same time.
These creatures felt a strong pressure coming towards them at the same moment - this strong sense of oppression had never been experienced before.
It was completely a certain intuition rooted in instinct, and it was this instinctive fear that made them dare not move at all. They could only lie down humbly and wait for the strong sense of oppression to pass.
After a long time, accompanied by some kind of weird buzzing... these chaotic low-level alien creatures felt two dark figures flying over their heads.
That figure was so agile and fast, like lightning, like a storm, like a shadow in the dark night—
The strong sense of oppression slowly dissipated after a long time after the figure left.
Then, after a while, something that looked like a dead branch suddenly moved in the red sand.
Eyes, antennae, and mouthparts slowly emerged from the surface of the withered body. On this monster's face, the eyes took up almost 80% of the area.
It slowly raised its head, revealing its true face.
This monster is quite weak, and its only advantage is probably its good eyesight.
Under some strange throbbing, the monsters dared to open their eyes and looked at the shadows passing above their heads from a distance.
Following a considerable distance, the giant-eyed monster saw two huge insects flying in mid-air, one of which was holding its "prey" in its hands.
The "bug" flew extremely fast, while another white shadow hung far behind.
That "bug" is white, and its flight is obviously extremely fast, but it always has an inexplicable sense of clumsiness against the background of the former. Even the pair of white wings that are flapping non-stop have a sense of clumsiness. Poor meaning.
Of course, this pity is just an illusion.
Just when the dead branch-like monster was peeping at the two bugs, the white shadow suddenly turned its head as if it could sense its sight.
There was still such a long distance, but... a dark and twisted aura still stabbed the native alien monster accurately.
The monster immediately lowered its body. It instinctively tried to get into the gap to avoid the terrifying looking back, but soon, it maintained its previous posture and slowly became stiff. soft.
After a few more seconds, more small bugs emerged from the gaps. They didn't pay too much attention to where the monster's body came from. Instead, they opened their little pliers step by step and moved toward the monster. A monster walks away... For these small and fragile lives, this is just an abnormal and ordinary reincarnation of life.
Only the thin white bone spurs on the back of the big-eyed monster showed how special it was in death.
…
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Xi to know about the incident that happened behind him.
The shadows that the little monster saw before were naturally him, Xavier and Arthur. The one flying in front and holding the "prey" was naturally Xavier, and the one following behind was Arthur, who had to flap his wings and try hard to keep up with Xavier.
...After it was out of danger, it was immediately thrown down by Xavier on the grounds of "very serious".
Of course, as a mutant, Arthur can also fly.
It's just that its wings are completely different from Xavier's current wings.
If Xavier is willing, it can easily hold Lin Xi and throw Arthur far away...Thank God, Lin Xi is not a cold insect mother. He still cares about Arthur, which allows Arthur to follow them. behind.
Just like all the top predators, they have no idea how much mental harm their passing has caused to the creatures on planet AS192. He never paid attention to the white bone spurs that Arthur randomly sprayed behind him.
They returned to the nest calmly and smoothly. The calmness along the way was like a dream compared to the narrow escape in the storm.
With his wings folded, Xavier held Lin Xi and landed gently on the edge of the cliff.
Then, Xavier stared at his once warm and lovely nest, which had completely changed. Xavier once carefully decorated the entrance of the nest, which was decorated with many flowers, plants and brightly colored stones, but now those things All had been turned into a mass of rubble by the storm.
If it weren't for the wide platform in front of the cave entrance, Xavier and Lin Xi wouldn't even be able to stop directly at the entrance of the lair.
When Lin Xi jumped down from Xavier's arms, he could feel Xavier's movements becoming particularly stiff.
Yes, the color of Xavier's wings changed after he found that the entrance to the cave he had decorated was blown like this.
It even stood a little dull at the entrance of the cave, staring straight at the mess in front of it for a long time.
At this moment, Xavier looked particularly downcast.
Lin Xi looked at him and felt some subtle pity.
"Maybe, maybe the condition of the head isn't that bad."
He whispered to Lin Xi.
The comfort from Lin Xi finally cheered up Xavier.
It waved its extraordinarily powerful forelimbs, pushing aside the gravel with ease.
Gululu's gravel suddenly fell down the cliff, making endless noises in the abyss below.
After finally pushing aside the gravel at the entrance of the cave, Xavier immediately got in.
The situation inside the lair is pretty much the same as what Lin Xi said.
The most serious damage was to the things near the entrance of the lair, especially the TV series, movies and some games carefully collected by Xavier who sneaked into the bedrooms of the Helios members... all of them were swept away by the strong wind.
Xavier almost froze.
It took a step forward in disbelief.
"Click—"
A crisp sound sounded.
Xavier slowly raised his leg, picked up a broken metal box to guard against theft, and looked at it for a while.
This is the player for those TV shows and movies.
But now it has been completely shattered.
…
Of course, although Xavier suffered heavy losses.
But in Lin Xi's opinion, the damage in the nest was still within the acceptable range.
He looked at the messy lair and the gravel outside the cave, and sighed silently.
The entrance to the cave that Xavier used as his lair was quite fragile (especially since Xavier had deliberately knocked out many holes in the stone before and secretly searched for the beautiful stones), so after the storm started, not long after, It's falling apart here.
The cave entrance filled with rubble is indeed scary, but in another sense, it is precisely because the cave collapsed early and the rubble blocked the wind outlet, so the objects inside the nest that have not been completely blown out are still retained. down.
Lin Xi walked into the nest step by step, and he carefully picked up small things on the ground.
During this process, Lin Xi suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw something familiar in a pile of junk that had been turned into garbage. Lin Xi picked it up and took a look and found that it turned out to be a music box.
"I always feel like I've seen it before..."
Lin Xi muttered, then turned over the music box.
He saw a metal plate at the bottom of the music box, and sure enough it had Bryce's name written on it.
Lin Xi's face suddenly softened.
Then he subconsciously opened the thing.
"Dear Alyssa, you are my dearest in the world..."
Extremely familiar words suddenly came from the music box.
Well, technically this thing isn't even a real music box, it's just disguised as that ancient thing on the outside, and it's really a small portable projector on the inside.
After Lin Xi opened it, he immediately saw a particularly disgusting holographic projection.
Bryce wore a plush doll costume, holding flowers and balloons in his hands, and said a long and extremely exaggerated courtship vow to Alyssa -
The more Lin Xi listened, the more he frowned, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh.
This was probably a little secret that Bryce never wanted him to know. Lin Xi had no doubt that the thing he picked up was probably a gift prepared by Bryce for Alyssa.
Lin Xi didn't know if Bryce had ever shown this thing to Alyssa. He really prayed that Bryce hadn't had it yet. After all, only a very broad-minded person could allow such a gift of love to exist.
only…
Lin Xi stared blankly at Bryce's funny appearance in the projection, her eyes burning a little.
If something like this happened before, it would just make people laugh.
But... after everything it has experienced, its existence carries a vague warmth.
Lin Xi knew that he was a little out of sorts, but he still couldn't help but look at Bryce's projection for a long time.
He thought again of the way Bryce and Alyssa looked when they left.
Bryce must be angry, right
Have they returned to Earth now
Are they... still alive
Lin Xi couldn't help thinking about these problems.
After a while, he slowly closed the thing, and then he put Bryce's failed gift in his hand.
A burning gaze came.
Lin Xi turned around and saw at a glance that Xavier was staring at the thing in his hand with bright eyes.
After realizing that Lin Xi had noticed him, Xavier stammered and spoke.
"Do you like stuff like this?"
Lin Xi quickly explained: "No, of course not... This is Bryce's thing. His taste is still as bad as ever."
After a pause, Lin Xi's voice became softer: "It's just that this thing makes me... miss him a little bit."
Lin Xi said to Xavier with a smile.
"... Maybe Bryce has returned to Earth now. He must not have thought that I would find this. I can't wait. When I go back, I will take this thing out in front of Bryce. He will definitely Very crazy…”
Lin Xi's voice gradually disappeared.
His expression became darker.
Xavier reluctantly took his eyes back from the music box in Lin Xi's hand.
It did not miss Lin Xi’s evaluation of the music box: bad taste…
But Xavier loved that thing so much.
It had even thought about what it would say to Lin Xi when it recorded this projection.
It was just that Lin Xi's depressed state when she mentioned returning to Earth made her focus away from the music box.
"Lin Xi... do you really want to return to Earth?"
Xavier couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Lin Xi said decisively.
"That's the Earth, and Bryce and the others have also returned there."
Xavier didn't say anything. He didn't dare to tell Lin Xi. In fact...
In fact, it felt that it would be nice to live on a planet like this with Lin Xi.
There is no obstacle between them, only each other.
Even if there are those annoying mechanical warriors somewhere on this planet, but in front of their current claws, those mechanical warriors are nothing more than fragile tin scarecrows.
Those monsters are no longer their opponents. They have no enemies on this planet.
But all Xavier's thoughts turned into silence in front of Lin Xi's desire.
Lin Xi wants to go back - anyone can see this, and Xavier is no exception.
Xavier shook the tentacles above his head, then glanced at Arthur who was busy packing things behind him, and then forced a smile.
It hid aside in an evasive manner and began to pack its things.
However, Xavier originally thought that cleaning up these clutter would make his depressed mood feel better.
But when it really started to move its hands, its heart sank little by little.
Before that, Xavier thought that except for the severe damage to the material at the entrance, the things deep in the lair might have retained their original appearance to some extent.
But when I packed it up, I discovered that many things had been damaged due to the strong wind.
Xavier put together a broken mirror. He liked this mirror very much. After all, it was so smooth and reflected dazzling light.
However, as soon as it let go, the mirror cracked again.
Xavier had no choice but to secrete some gelatinous mucus to fuse the mirror together. It carefully placed the mirror that was no longer cracked back on the stone platform it had carefully prepared.
After reading for a while, Xavier drooped his tentacles and packed up the books that had already fallen apart... This was also a considerable challenge for it. After all, it had a very poor grasp of human writing, even if it had squinted its eyes. After reading those words for a long time, it is still difficult to determine the correct page order.
It is precisely for this reason that the process of collecting books is very slow.
But right next to it, Arthur had already arranged many things neatly and quickly.
Xavier glanced at Arthur coldly. After seeing with his own eyes that Arthur just collected the scattered pages, folded them according to size, and finally put them into the book case, Xavier slowly said He withdrew his gaze. But Arthur's clumsiness and stupidity made it a little easier...
But with the subsequent cleanup, Xavier's mood became worse and worse. .
Many of the things it loved so much had been lost in the storm, and what was left... most of them had been shattered.
Considering that even the sturdy cliff caves have been baptized by such a terrible storm, the wreckage of the Helios lying alone on the plain will probably be in worse condition than here.
Xavier no longer expected to be replenished from the wreckage of the Helios.
Xavier, thinking this way, slowed down his movements little by little.
It raised its eyes and looked around. Lin Xi and Arthur were packing things seriously.
But even so, the area that had been carefully tidied up still looked dilapidated, completely different from the warm world that Xavier had carefully prepared before.
The place now looks more like a dump than a lair.
Xavier's movements became slower and slower, and finally stopped altogether.
Its wings spread behind it, showing a burst of gloomy gray-blue.
Xavier felt that his chest became extremely heavy and sore...it was indeed very sad.
It tried to hide its emotions, but its mood swings at this moment were still conveyed to Lin Xi without reservation.
Lin Xi turned back to look at the big bug behind him. He could tell at a glance that Xavier looked particularly depressed.
Such negative emotions were really rare. Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and soon realized where Xavier's frustration came from.
Lin Xi immediately walked towards Xavier and put a hand on Xavier's shoulder.
"It doesn't matter, although... the nest is damaged. But we can still build it again. This time, we can build a more comfortable nest. The entrance of the hole may need to be reinforced to prevent a more violent storm in the future... "
As he spoke, Lin Xi immediately noticed that Xavier's gaze became blank.
He raised his head and looked at each other.
Xavier's eyes were moist, and the tentacles were dangling above his head. He looked uneasy and surprised.
"A new lair? You mean... we want to build a new lair
Xavier asked in disbelief
This time, Lin Xi seemed a little stunned.
"Is there any problem with the new nest?" Lin Xi asked.
"I thought... I thought you would want to go back to Earth more."
Xavier said dryly.
Before that, Xavier never thought that Lin Xi would build a nest with it. After all, Lin Xi's performance has always been so obvious. This mother of alien species who once lived in this world as a human being is extremely eager to return to that beautiful and peaceful blue planet.
Coupled with Lin Xi's previous actions, Xavier always thought that Lin Xi would follow the traces of those mechanical warriors all the way to the Providence after simply cleaning up the lair.
Just like those TV series and movies that Xavier has been watching, the protagonist always defeats the bad guys, then gets the spaceship and returns to their beloved homeland. Lin Xi will probably do the same thing...
But now, Lin Xi stood in front of it, staring at it calmly, and then said that she and it had a brand new nest.
Xavier almost felt like he was dreaming...
It never thought that Lin Xi would say such things to it.
The mother of alien species promised a nest to the king insect. In the world of alien species, this means...
mean…
Xavier's wings suddenly turned an ambiguous pink.
It was almost embarrassed by the images that came to mind.
Xavier's complicated thoughts were like a blank sheet of paper in front of Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's eyes widened slightly, and then a weak smile appeared on his face.
"What you guessed before was correct. I do want to return to Earth. In fact, I must also return to Earth."
Lin Xi explained to Xavier in a calm voice.
Xavier stiffened.
Lin Xi had to move closer to let Xavier calm down.
"Both you... and I are special beings... You should have noticed that the two of us are completely different from any other mother of alien species and king insect before. We have our own will, we have our own Emotion, we have... love.”
When he said the last word, Lin Xi's cheeks heated up slightly, but he immediately composed himself and covered it up.
After a brief pause, Lin Xi stared at Xavier and reorganized his words.
"...This may be the salvation of this universe. Just because we have our own will and the people we love, we don't want this universe and that little blue planet to be destroyed because of creatures like us. In the same way, I need to maintain my sanity, I have to remember who I am and where I came from—"
Lin Xi took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am Lin Xi. Although I now have a monster body, my essence is human."
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but take out the music box left by Bryce. He stared at the wooden artifact with nostalgic eyes.
Immediately, he raised his head and looked at the vast scenery beyond the cliff. After the baptism of the storm, a large area of woods and vegetation surrounding the cliff had been completely stripped away, leaving only the bare colorful ground and countless Strange-looking, dazzlingly colored animals were scurrying in the gaps between stones and soil.
This is an alien world through and through
It is so brilliant, so magnificent, but also so barbaric.
Lin Xi shook his head at this beautiful world, and his voice gradually became lower.
"I need to return to the earth, I need to return to humans. Only the crowd can remind me all the time that I am a human being. Only by remembering who I am, can I remain in the endless transformation. Maintain the essence of humanity.”
"It's impossible for me to stay here. There are no humans here. I'm likely to gradually lose my mind as I evolve again and again, and finally return to that chaotic existence."
Xavier suddenly trembled.
It can still recall the chaotic aura belonging to "Him" until now.
Lin Xi made eye contact with it. At this moment, Lin Xi seemed to be able to see directly into Xavier's soul.
"And once I turn into that ghost..."
Lin Xi raised his hand and gently touched Xavier's face. He felt the hard and stinging carapace of Xavier's face with his palm.
From a human perspective, Xavier is now extremely terrifying, but Lin Xi no longer feels that way. In fact, he feels that Xavier is more handsome now than ever before.
This may be because of the relationship between him and Xavier.
Maybe it's because he is gradually transforming into another creature.
But the most important thing is that under such a ferocious shell, Xavier still maintains a soft and gentle heart.
This heart is the most important thing to Lin Xi in this desolate world.
"Once I become such a monster, you will be completely reduced to a reproduction creature without any sanity... It won't be long before we and our dependents will gradually multiply into a huge group, and we and they will eventually leave this planet. Then occupy the entire universe step by step. It may take a long time, but that future will eventually arrive. At that time, the humans I once loved and the planet I loved will be completely destroyed by the hands of my own family. ”
The memories that he had devoured before appeared in Lin Xi's mind, such cruel and desperate scenes. It was a dark dream where countless civilizations were gradually dying under the infection of monsters like alien species.
Lin Xi would never want something like that to happen to humans and the earth.
"That's why I have to go back..."
Lin Xi could tell that Xavier didn't quite understand what he said to it, but Lin Xi didn't explain much. He just spoke to Xavier in the same gentle tone as before.
"I'm still going to need a nest, but this time I'm going to have a complete nursery in my nest."
As she spoke, Lin Xi pressed her abdomen.
The feeling of emptiness that comes from the body's instinct has never dissipated, but now Lin Xi has been able to live in harmony with his new identity, and he will no longer feel fear and shrinkage because of his instinct.
"It's not enough to just rely on you, Arthur, and me. The Providence is a giant immigration spacecraft at the level of a Dyson sphere..."
"To control such a behemoth back to Earth requires tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of individuals to operate and coordinate various components of the spacecraft."
"Lin Xi? You mean?"
Xavier stared at Lin Xi in disbelief.
Even Arthur couldn't help but sway his wings and tentacles, and slowly approached Lin Xi. The young alien stared curiously at his insect mother and Xavier. He could feel a strange aura. The special emotional infection that enveloped Lin Xi and Xavier even affected it.
Arthur's wings trembled slightly.
"It's going to be a long journey, the Providence may need repairs, maybe it's running out of energy... but no matter what, I need it, and if I want to get Providence, I'm going to need a lot of it. Companion, as far as the current situation is concerned, the most reliable companion is my own son."
Lin Xi took a deep breath, then he stared at Xavier and said that sentence word for word.
"I need heirs...I need a lot of heirs. Yes, I will breed my own tribe."
The author has something to say: The last chapter was a Christmas extra chapter... It took a long time to unlock it after it was locked.
In order not to affect today, I will write the main story first.
=v=
And... Next, I will finally use the entomology book I borrowed from the library.
