Chapter 01: Cockroaches Reborn

Next Chapter

Like a blue and green satin intertwined, the crystal clear planet of life, the most brilliant pearl in the universe.

Rolling hills, dense jungles, seas of life.

Twilight.

A swarthy young cockroach stood on the top leaf of the tallest tree on the top of the mountain, shaking its antennae, and its body slowly turned to look in all directions.

"Everywhere barren mountains and vegetation, this is an unexplored and pristine planet! A primordial planet that nurtures carbon-based life! ”

"Rich! How many meritorious rewards can be obtained for discovering such a primitive planet suitable for human migration? Maybe I can rise to the rank of governor of the planet......"

"But ......"

The fiery energy just came to mind, and then disappeared without a trace.

"My soul is supposed to be the escorted metal core radiation mutation, which was fortunately saved in the plane crash, and instinctively plundered the body of a pregnant cockroach to survive."

"Now, I'm no longer human, I've become a baby cockroach......"

"Which galaxy is this? Galaxy? No. The Milky Way has long been developed by humans, and there can be no primordial planets. ”

"Hephaestus system? Or a more distant galaxy? ”

"First of all, I'm no longer human, and secondly, I'm not sure if any battleship wreckage crashed on this planet. Even if the wreckage of a battleship is found, there may not be an over-the-range communicator that releases a distress signal inside. Even if there is, it is not necessarily possible to transmit it to the command headquarters. ”

"The most lethal thing is that my soul has been mutated by radiation, from the soul level, out of the human realm."

"As a Space Mariner of the Galactic Federation, I know best the attitude of human beings towards alien intelligent races, and sending signals to recruit the Federation army is tantamount to killing myself."

Thinking about it, I am even more sad.

The young cockroach standing at the top of the tree is named Banbu Hoss, Galactic Federation Thunder Expeditionary Corps, Seventh Army, Logistics Transport Unit, 419 Transport Team, 3rd Class. His duty is to take care of the precious cargo on the transport ship.

The transport ship named "Luan-K704", where Zemboo is employed, is transporting a large amount of loot looted from the metal race called "Karpas" in the Hephaestus system.

The Karpas are a semi-technological, semi-martial arts civilization that has evolved itself through cultivation, and has been completely destroyed by the human army. The trophies included 8 dominant-level metal cores, and it is said that the Terrans also sacrificed 11 dominant-level martial arts powerhouses for this purpose.

On the way back to the Milky Way, the Lun-K704 encountered space-time turbulence during the space transition, and within a thousandth of a second, the sturdy hull was torn to pieces by the unrivaled space force.

Before he died, Banbu guarded outside the warehouse, and clearly remembered that the warehouse was broken, and the metal core energy radiation penetrated the armor on his body without hindrance, and when he woke up, he found himself in a new world, with a new body - a cockroach nymph that had just hatched from the egg sheath.

"Where do I go from here?"

Standing on the leaves at the top of the tree, Madara fell into deep thought.

The breeze blows, the leaves sway, and the trees make a subtle rustling sound.

Cockroaches are not very capable of clinging, and the shaking blades shake off the spotted cloth and fall to the ground.

Instinctively, desperately instigating the infully developed veins and wings, driven by the breeze, they flew away.

In the end, unfortunately, it fell heavily on a hard rock.

The body of only 4 years old was fragile, and one walking foot was broken one after another.

"Alas, most of the sisters and sisters who hatched in the same batch as me are 7 years old."

Banbu lamented, picked up the severed hind leg with his two forelimbs, and gnawed slowly.

The 7th instar is not far from the 10th instar of the sub-adult, but he has only completed 3 molts, and he is still a weak 4th instar.

Banbu guessed that it was because he had human intelligence and used his brain excessively.

Cockroaches have small heads and few brain cells, but they seem to have the ability to multiply indefinitely. The human soul drives the little brain to think about complex problems, exhausts a group of brain cells, and immediately consumes the nutrients and organic energy stored in the body to generate new brain cells.

The nutrients needed to grow and molt are consumed by the brain.

"According to the inheritance memory of cockroaches, I must complete at least 9 molts before winter comes, and reach sub-adulthood, otherwise I will not survive the cold winter."

"Passing on memories to guide rotting leaves to the worst food, and meat to help grow quickly, and that's true......"

Banbu nibbled on his leg flesh and thought silently.

At the location of the broken leg, a new walking foot is slowly growing, and you can feel that the little nutrients that cannot be stored in the body are consumed.

The ability to regenerate short limbs is shared by many species of insects.

Banbu took a closer look and noticed that there was something unusual about his ability.

Other cockroaches have broken legs and antennae, and they can only grow back when they molt the next time.

Zebra can be reborn in an instant.

This is already the fifth time he has broken his leg, so he behaves calmly.

Meat is rare, you can't miss any trace, calmly hold your broken leg, and eat leisurely.

"It's boring to live like this."

"Early death and early transcendence, that's how it is said...... But what if, it can't be born again? Am I not dead? ”

Banbu finished eating his own insect legs, and turned his head to see that the new insect legs had only grown to half the original size.

Eating, digesting, and absorbing, this process consumes energy, as well as a very large loss of nutrients.

There is no excess nutrient in the body for it to grow into its original shape.

"Then I'll live first, take one step at a time and see ...... step by step"

The cockroach has six legs, which is now less than half a leg, and it does not affect walking very much, so Banbuliso crawled towards the mountainside position and returned to the nest the same way.

……

Low, long mountains, rolling peaks.

Middle Layer of Mountains.

Underneath a broad-leaved tree are bushes.

The nest of the zebra is carved out in a thick layer of deciduous decay in the bushes.

This is a primitive survival technique in the memory of cockroaches.

The nest is very shallow, the soft dead branches and leaves do not accumulate water, and there are bushes to cover it, and it is not afraid of wind and rain.

Best of all, the rotten dead leaves that have been broken down by the fungus are soft and crispy, and it is easier to digest and absorb when eaten in the stomach.

The room is full of food, although it is inferior and lacks nutrition, but it is inexhaustible.

Banbu analyzes with high-end human knowledge, eats more, exercises more, and thinks less with your brain, and the dead branches and leaves can also maintain the needs of growth, and the root cause of your own slow growth is that you are instinctively used to think about problems with your brain.

Night has fallen.

Dark night is the best time for cockroaches to be active.

Banbu held a thick dead leaf and nibbled on it, and after eating, he clearly felt that the organic energy consumed by the long journey and the rebirth of a broken leg quickly recovered completely.

The organic energy consumed is easily restored.

The hard part is nutrients such as protein.

The walk of a new student is enough to grow at an extremely slow pace.

Soon, the energy intake was too high and had to stop eating, crawl out of the nest, and burn off energy through exercise.

There are thousands of cockroaches of the same kind living nearby, and they also suffer from excessive energy and insufficient protein during eating. They are extremely intellectual, and only know how to follow the guidance of inherited memories, and at night, they crawl around, burning energy by crawling, and searching for insect carcasses that are almost impossible to find.

Banbu doesn't do those useless work, and uses energy in a very methodical way - climbing a rock with difficulty, and then flapping his wings and gliding to the ground.

Climbing upwards and overcoming gravity can exacerbate energy expenditure.

Gliding with wings, resisting gravity traction and falling, consuming more physical energy, and exercising your flying ability by the way.

Cockroaches have veined wings, but they are not good at flying or simply cannot fly, and Banbu intends to try to see if he can master the ability to fly after training.

The first four leg breaks, all of which were accidentally broken while exercising flying ability.

A broken leg can be reborn, but at a great cost.

The reason for Banbu's indomitable persistence is to confirm a question: whether cockroaches can be changed little by little through scientific exercise like humans.

If it could, then perhaps a weak cockroach could become strong and even genetically evolve.

If not, it means that cockroaches are a completely inferior race, with no future at all, and there is no point in surviving for a long time, and it is wise to die early and be born early.

The Inheritance Memories obtained during the completion of the third molt revealed that the exact race of Banbu was the "Red Cockroach Clan", a sub-clan of the "Flying Fire Cockroach Clan", which ruled the entire jungle.

Banbu will be skeptical.

There are the largest number of cockroaches all over the mountains, there are few other types of insects, and animals are rare, so they are probably the rulers.

However, there are also many birds living in the mountains, which are daytime and occasionally catch a few lost cockroaches to eat.

Cockroaches have no ability to resist in front of the birds, and once they are found and locked, they will inevitably become food, what kind of ruler is this?
