782 Catastrophe 1
In a very delicate hut with a hint of boudoir feelings, the Empress of the Swarm in a human dress sits there, reading a book in great silence.
Her "home" is very simple, even by the standard of a secluded garden with no ecology and no resources, the living conditions of several grand dukes are far better than those of the empress. Despite a coup d'Γ©tat and the start of the operation to control the swarm, Rin Dong and the others never dared to be disrespectful to the empress, and Rin Dong repeatedly proposed to provide the empress with a more luxurious and comfortable palace, but the empress refused.
On the contrary, the empress now looks very happy and poor.
She originally named herself Yinu, but later met the man and changed a new name to Yinu.
Sweet as food, relaxed and happy.
She even changed her appearance and changed it into a human woman, because she wanted to be able to stay with that man and be accepted by him.
The books in her hut were all given by Lu Zhinian. Some of them are things from various civilizations that the Zerg have collected after destroying civilizations. No one dares to deny the strength of Yi Nu, the DNA devoured by every insect will eventually come to her, and the memories and knowledge taken over by each insect will also accumulate to the empress. She is perhaps one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent individuals in the galaxy at this time.
Before Lu Zhinian was driven away by the Insect Duke, the two of them sat together like this, separated by a distance of about one meter, sharing a table, you look at yours, I look at mine. It's just that Yi Nu will often peek at him. Lu Zhinian still looks like a middle-aged man, his appearance is not good, and he is never handsome. But his calm and relaxed, and the talent in his bones cannot be concealed.
This kind of day is the happiest and most interesting in Yi Nu's opinion, even in the eyes of Grand Duke Winter and others, it is a complete waste of time, and it is completely an insult to the insect people, but it is indeed interesting for Yi Nu to look at a special man and read different stories.
There was a knock on the wooden door of the hut, and Alan Dong pushed the door in. The Grand Duke was the first to be created, and he was familiar with the Empress and knew that red tape and excessive respect made no sense.
Alan Dong was carrying something in his hand, exuding the enticing aroma of food. Apparently like meat roasted in a special way, Alandon put the food on the table and said, "Your Majesty, please eat something, you haven't eaten since you moved in." β
Yi Nu slumped the book on the table, raised her eyes to look at Alan Dong, and with a serious meaning, she said, "You know, I don't need to eat to survive, Alan Dong." β
Alan Dong shook his head and said, "Yes, but human beings eat every day, and diet is also a kind of their culture, isn't it?" β
It seemed that the Empress had to move closer to human activities, so Alandon brought food that had been carefully cooked.
The empress's eyes were clean and serious, and this expression reminded Ai Landong of a person, Lu Zhinian. Lu Zhinian always had such a dull and seemingly slightly serious expression, and after getting along with the empress for a while, the empress was also infected with the same expression, which made Ai Landong very uncomfortable.
"Tasting delicious food is indeed a human interest, but what you roast should be a human thigh."
Alandon was not surprised at all, the empress's acumen was extremely powerful, and he also knew that he couldn't hide such a thing, and he didn't want to hide it.
"Your Majesty, humanity, or all carbon-based life, is food for us wormmen. On planets where there is an ecosphere, there is basically a food chain, and we are at the top of the food chain. β
Yi Nu picked up the book again, continued to read, and said, "I know. β
Alandon pointed out sharply: "I think that when human beings eat pigs, cattle and sheep, they do not consider what kind of life pigs, cattle and sheep live, and what experiences they have. β
Yi Nu put down the book again and asked, "What do you want to say?" β
"Your Majesty, our swarm needs your leadership, although we, the Grand Duke, and many more self-conscious Bugmen, are able to carry out more actions, but without your leadership, even if the Swarm has a powerful Grand Duke, it will continue to hit a wall. Winter: When they faced the United Iridium Empire, they were defeated. Aoba even died at the hands of the Iridium FΓΌhrer. While the swarm continues to grow, the Iridium people are also uniting the forces of other civilizations in the galaxy, and our food is threatening us, and the Rinsy Winter and the Green Man are clearly not capable of leading us out of this path of survival. β
Yi Nu hummed softly, and she said, "I know, Rindong will lose." β
Alandon asked urgently, "Then what should we do?" β
"If you lose, you lose," Yi Nu's tone had a cold indifference in her tone.
Her eyes were on the book, she didn't look at Ailandon, and said: "It doesn't matter if you all die, as long as the swarm has me, the swarm will not be destroyed, and more bugmen will be born." β
Alandon choked on his words, for he could not refute the Empress's words. The Empress is right, even if he dies and Winter dies, all the worms are dead, and only the Empress is left. The Empress is also able to re-release eggs and produce new Worms.
The Empress said leisurely, "Say I'm too close to humans, but aren't your thoughts humans?" If you can't win the fight, you cry and run back to your mother, who seems to be able to solve it for you. It's a pity, as you said, I'm not your mother, I'm the queen of the swarm, the queen has never had the slightest pity or affection for her own worms, you are just my soldiers, my workers, my servants, if you die, you will die. β
Alandon's face suddenly flushed, and the Empress's words burned with anger in his heart, more than he knew that the Empress had a crush on a human man. He is a worm duke, with a consciousness of his own, and he doesn't know when he was tainted by the human mind. He fantasizes about possessing the Empress and becoming the Worm King of the Swarm. But in the end, his identity is no different from those complete insects who die on the battlefield at will, they are all objects that can be discarded at will, and they were created to serve and defend the Empress.
What terrified him was that no matter how angry he was in his heart, he couldn't do anything to the Empress, he couldn't curse her, he couldn't hit her, he was in his genes.
The Empress was not wrong at all, they were never important, so why should the Empress pay extra attention to them?
