Chapter 727 - 638: Unique and Unparalleled
"What’s wrong, not feeling well?"
Xu Xiaoyou noticed Chichu Chun beside her, resting her cheek in her palm, looking a bit listless.
"Finally, we got out for a bit; I thought you’d want to find a secluded spot to scream your lungs out."
"Hmm." Chichu Chun responded listlessly.
She lowered her hand from her face and glanced at the swiftly passing scenery below.
After a while, Chichu Chun propped her other hand against her face, her elbow resting on her knee.
"Just thinking about going back tonight makes me lose all my energy."
"So, how about the idea I mentioned?"
"What idea?" Chichu Chun asked dispiritedly.
Xu Xiaoyou: "I suggested, if you don’t want to go back, we could run away together, go wherever we want; the Wastelands are vast with countless wonders, there’s novelty everywhere in this world."
"Even far from human society, life won’t be dull."
"What did you say!" Chichu Chun gestured at her ear, "The wind is too strong; I can’t hear you!"
"I said, let’s run away!" Xu Xiaoyou laughed lightly, raising her voice.
"Forget about destiny, duty, and mission; none of it matters. If the world ends one day, I’ll hold your hand at the world’s edge, witnessing the tsunami higher than mountains engulf civilization."
"Hahaha, still can’t hear!"
"The wind above is too strong~"
Chichu Chun laughed, spreading her arms, raising and lowering her legs to carve an arc in the air. Finally, Chichu Chun walked to the cabin door, turning to Xu Xiaoyou with a sly smile, her twin ponytails accentuating her long legs.
At this moment, she seemed to become that carefree Little Witch again.
"Let’s play a game. I didn’t bring a parachute; let’s see if you can catch me before I land!"
Watching Chichu Chun leap down, Xu Xiaoyou silently sat in her seat, crossing her legs.
A moment later, Xu Xiaoyou looked pensive, uncrossing her left leg resting on her right.
Then she crossed her left leg over her right.
...
"Why didn’t you come to catch me!"
Chichu Chun, facing downward, grimaced as she flipped over, dusting off her skirt while muttering, casting a reproachful look at Xu Xiaoyou.
Xu Xiaoyou landed firmly on the ground, scanning the surroundings for potential dangers.
"Because I knew you wouldn’t die from the fall." Xu Xiaoyou nodded earnestly.
"So biased. What if it were Sister Tang or Sister Youyou falling?" Chichu Chun rolled her eyes.
"They wouldn’t do something so trivial." Xu Xiaoyou extended a hand to pull Chichu Chun up.
As for Angelina.
Surely she’d be the one shouting about jumping down and asking someone to catch her, wouldn’t she?
Xu Xiaoyou mused.
"Ouch, my back." Chichu Chun clutched her side, realizing her veil and life form indicator were damaged from the fall.
"Be careful; there are five low-level Insect Race around. They’re predators and don’t act alone; there must be a nest nearby."
Xu Xiaoyou warned.
"Alright, alright." Chichu Chun drooped her mouth, her eyes washed away with frustration, revealing a hint of repressed fervor,
"Just need a few punch bags to vent my anger."
"Seeing bugs annoys me, let’s blast their nest to smithereens."
Sensing the intense aura emanating from Chichu Chun, a few predators roared, two of them peeking their heads from behind ruins, only for their heads to explode like watermelons.
Dark green corrosive liquid splattered, sizzling on the structures as the remaining predators retreated slightly, their broad wing sheaths quivering; on their mandibles, their dense compound eyes simultaneously reflected dark red figures.
On the mechanical arm, ring-shaped heat conductors ejected, debris from combustion discharged, radioactively charged fuel rods pushed up, sequentially loading into the heat conductor.
Chichu Chun placed her left hand on her hip, and with a flick of her right hand, the thermal interface was instantly completed.
Although it couldn’t replicate Oasis’s ’Undead Armament’ one-to-one, this mechanical arm still satisfied her greatly, utilizing the most advanced technology from Chichu Heavy Industry, its various data far surpassing the one she had in the game.
A few predators sensed the threat, and their instinctive fear drove them to crawl backward, the girl’s figure magnified infinitely in their eyes.
It was the pheromones from Chichu Chun that had drawn them here. But before they could figure out whether she was human or Insect Race, the girl launched an attack on them...
The fear grew stronger and suddenly exploded, causing several predators to abandon their attack simultaneously and scatter away.
Under the drive of instinct, the predators attempted to escape and report the crisis to the nest.
"Escape?" Chichu Chun laughed.
From the outside in, her eye whites were instantly devoured by darkness, and three dark red compound eyes rose from the bottom of her eyes, arranged in a triangle, locking onto the three escaping predators.
In a blink, Chichu Chun’s right eye had taken on complete Insect Race characteristics, and potent pheromones centered around her, transforming into a storm and sweeping across!
The predators caught in the storm of pheromones let out sharp wails, their wing vibrations becoming erratic, causing them to fall from the sky. One of them even had its head explode, spilling dark green blood.
Chichu Chun walked over to the two predators writhing and struggling in agony, looking down coldly.
The two predators, finding their balance, swiftly got up and bowed their heads to the girl, as if in submission.
Her life’s trajectory changed that night, accidently connecting to the Eight-Spider Nest Mother’s consciousness, causing her to lose control and go berserk, turning her into a total monster.
This transformation affected her far beyond appearance; her genetic sequence was disrupted and reorganized, spliced like an embryo undergoing metamorphic development, trapped in a cocoon, with human genes interwoven with those of the Insect Race.
Perhaps one day, her human skin would be torn apart by claws, and a massive, grotesquely twisted monster would crawl out, roaring and clawing to kill everyone she knew.
Fortunately, this transformation is not uncontrollable.
The ’Harpy β’ inducing enzyme, regularly injected by the researchers, can suppress the other half of her genes and potentially reverse it.
Simply put, she was standing at the edge of a cliff, maintaining a delicate balance.
The reversal process is extremely unstable, making her prone to losing control and going berserk at any time. She must be monitored and regularly checked for various indicators.
"Want to be my little follower?" Chichu Chun showed her small canine teeth, "Sure, but I only need one follower."
Before she finished speaking, one of the predators suddenly sprang up, its sharp forelimbs piercing the eyes of its companion.
The other predator, unwilling to be outdone, crossed its mantis-blade-like arms and slashed back, clamping tightly onto the gap in its rival’s head shell, emitting a ’crack’ sound.
In the early stages of her transformation, she often came under the influence of the Eight-Spider Nest Mother’s will at night, and the moment her consciousness connected to the Insect Race’s hive network, countless fragmented whispers exploded in her ears, trying to drag her into an abyss.
She could clearly sense the consciousness of every Insect Race member, sharing their vision, her brain getting filled like a junkyard with a flood of meaningless information.
She frequently felt lost, teetering on the edge between daydream and clarity, possibly being feasted upon under the dark nest one moment, then returning to a dark room the next, hearing the familiar ticking of machinery.
This drove her nearly insane during that time.
During that period, she couldn’t carry out any tasks, or even think independently. The Chichu Family connected her consciousness through devices, searching for the ’Syndicate’ hidden within human society.
She became the nightmare of the Syndicate, which left no stone unturned trying to kill her.
But they all failed.
She found a way to fight against the hive consciousness.
All Insect Races are influenced by the hive network, whether low-level or high-level Insect Races, or even the most powerful Forbidden Guards. The Eight-Spider Nest Mother is the supreme consciousness, leading all the hive networks, followed by the Insect Queens of each derivative swarm and the commanders of the Insect Race armies.
No matter how high those Insect Queens and commanders stand within their respective hive networks, they cannot escape the will of the Eight-Spider Nest Mother. When the Nest Mother orders them to die, they must fulfill it.
They are merely anchor points, the contact points for the Nest Mother to communicate with the entire hive network, not the ones in power.
But Chichu Chun tore apart the barriers of the hive network.
She established a completely independent subnetwork outside the hive network.
This tiny subnetwork contained only her, insignificantly small compared to the vast hive network, like a speck of dust.
But within this subnetwork, her identity was not as an ’Anchor Point’ subject to the Eight-Spider Nest Mother.
With a sudden yank, the predator tore off its companion’s head, and even though bathed in blood, it still held the head high, issuing a roar from deep within.
She held power equivalent to that of the Eight-Spider Nest Mother.
In the eyes of humans, she was an eccentric freak.
In the eyes of the Insect Race, she was a one-of-a-kind Queen.
