Chapter 43 Lu Zhengkang's plan, first sight of Zuo Te
When Lu Zhengkang saw Sly's refusal, he felt a little embarrassed and decided to express his thoughts.
"Sage, now is the critical moment of life and death for all Hallownest bugs. The sealed old light is about to escape, and we will all be enslaved by then. We need to preserve our strength as much as possible in such a difficult situation. I plan to organize two groups of teams, one group
Away from Hallownest, heading to the border beyond the reach of the radiant gaze, a group of suspended egg sacs headed for the deep nest, those houses built by the Weavers can block dreams, and they are also places where infection cannot affect."
Sly lowered his head in thought, while Lu Zhengkang waited silently for an answer.
"Your idea is very good, I can participate, but I will not go to the Deep Nest." Sly's tone was solemn and low, "That is a place I don't want to look back in my life. I'm sorry, forgive my cowardice."
Lu Zhengkang sighed after hearing this. He was not the type to force others into difficult situations. Since the other party was unwilling, he had to change his plan. "Then please join in escorting the team evacuating Hallownest."
Sly asked him, "What kind of insects are included in the team you are talking about?"
"The ones being escorted are mainly maintenance bugs and merchant bugs. I don't know how many bugs can be persuaded to leave their homeland where they have long lived, but I will respect their choice, whether it is to leave Hallownest, go to Deepnest, or stay behind.
It’s all up to them to decide, I’ll let them contact more bugs, try their best, we can’t let the world die with us lunatics.”
Sly was stunned, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Zhengkang replied: "It's not what I want to do, but what I can do. It all depends on the choice of container."
Sly sighed, "This is an unusual road. What other insects will participate in the escort?"
"I will mobilize some members of the Colosseum of Fools. They are very strong and full of honor in their hearts, but they are not suitable for escort missions. I have other arrangements. The Mantis tribe guarding the Deep Nest is a good choice for escorts. As long as they sign a contract, they
I will try my best to help. The world outside Hallownest needs a guide. I think there is a strong and responsible warrior named Qui Ruo who can help us lead the way." Lu Zhengkang paused, "So my plan is very clear.
I will lead you and the Mantis tribe to form an evacuation team garrison, and I will lead the soldiers of the Colosseum of Fools to clear out the Deep Nest, allowing those insects that are unable to leave their homeland to enter and take shelter temporarily."
Lu Zhengkang thought to himself, this is almost a perfect plan. Brother Kui Ruo, you have to survive.
Sly reluctantly nodded this time, "Okay, I agree. Get ready for Geo. It's such a long way...wait, what about my store?"
"I can run it for you during your absence."
"You seem to be a qualified businessman, okay then." Sly still looked frightened by Lu Zhengkang's eloquence and kept shaking the antennae on his head.
"I will keep this egg with you for the time being. I'm going to set off." Putting the egg of the little repair bug into Sly's hand, Lu Zhengkang turned around and went out, only to see the elder bug running back from the town in a panic.
He was panting and said to Lu Zhengkang, "Ah, I went to the cemetery to visit an old friend and found something terrible!"
"What terrible thing?"
"There was a pair of eyes glowing in the darkness, staring at me closely. I didn't dare to look carefully. Oh my God, it was too risky. I might not be able to go there again for a while."
"I'll go take a look and I'll be back soon." Lu Zhengkang curiously walked toward the way Elder Chong came.
"You have to be careful..." The hoarse shout of the insect elder came from behind, but it soon turned into nonsense like ah oh oh because the distance was too far and the pheromones could not be received.
On the way, he saw two bugs outside a hut. One was a female, hugging her legs and looking up at the other with admiration. The other was a very arrogant bug, wearing a white mask like a trapezoidal helmet.
, there is a pair of asymmetrical horns on both sides, one long and one short, the eye holes look like weathered cavities, the mouth is like a puppet, the opening is also a trapezoid, the expression is very mean, wearing a cloak, carrying a wooden stick on its back.
The bone-making nail has no edge and is simply a toy.
At this time, the male was chattering something unknown, while the female was fascinated by it, swaying and blushing.
"Precept Thirty-seven: 'Don't lend anything to other bugs, but don't lend them anything.' If you borrow something from other bugs and don't return it, you'll end up in nothing. If you don't borrow it back, you'll make a lot of money.
Precept Thirty-eight: ‘Beware of mysterious powers’. There is a mysterious force above us rushing towards us..."
There is no doubt that this male is the truly notorious Zote, and the female is a little fan girl in the game. She originally worshiped the protagonist, the little knight, who rescued her from danger, but later listened to Zote's boast and became a Zote.
He is such an ardent fan that his fantasy even gave birth to the terrifying dream obsession Gray Prince.
Every time the player dies under the unreasonable and terrifying offensive of the Gray Prince, he will hate Zot even more in his heart, this stupid, incompetent, lazy, hypocritical, nasty... "The Great" Zot.
Sighing, Lu Zhengkang felt that this guy's nonsense was really annoying, so he walked straight past Zuo Te without squinting his eyes and continued walking towards the cemetery.
Keep walking along the road, and the surrounding houses are getting sparse. After going down a few steps, you arrive in the wilderness. It is overgrown with weeds. There are two thin iron gates in front, standing there alone. It should be
It's the entrance to the cemetery.
There are many simple and pitiful tombstones in the cemetery, and there are also many cemeteries without tombstones.
There was a weak soul energy entrenched in the cemetery, and Lu Zhengkang guessed that this residual dream should be a gravedigger.
Further forward to the end of the cemetery is a cliff with no top as far as the eye can see. There is an elevator in front of the cliff and a shabby hut at the bottom of the cliff.
The elevator goes directly to the top of the cliff, and this mountain is a crystal peak. Lu Zhengkang can feel a powerful will that is not inferior to radiant light transmitting from the center of the mountain. It is very mechanical and cold.
Lu Zhengkang looked at the mountain, and in a trance he seemed to see a majestic city made of pink crystals, with tall buildings, and the gray sunset on the city's skyline was like a giant eye, overlooking the world, and his eyes were refracted in the crystals.
Illuminating all the opaque darkness and stubborn obstructions, letting the light integrate into the body, countless insects walk on the crystal, and the crystal also walks in their blood, breaking through the body surface and releasing the light.
Blinking suddenly, the hallucinations in Lu Zhengkang's eyes disappeared. The mountain was still the same mountain, and there was no so-called heroic city or sunset. Everything was just his inner fantasy combined with the real environment.
However, the discovery of Crystal Peak made Lu Zhengkang feel a little regretful. After all, this is one of the places where there is hope of blocking radiation, and it is relatively safe.
Now it seems that there is a deeper secret hidden here, and a terrifying god who is not inferior to the radiant light is hidden in the mountains.
