Chapter 91

Bai Xiaoyu led two teams to the underground medical room. Apart from the large snake quietly watching videos, they heard the roars of the wild beasts trapped in various rooms upon entering.

Usually, the wild beasts might have been accustomed to Bai Xiaoyu's presence, or perhaps his gentle and weak appearance did not trigger their subconscious vigilance and bloodlust.

But now things were different. The people from the Sixteenth Legion and the Twenty-ninth Legion were all exceptionally powerful. Sensing the warriors' presence, the wild beasts became agitated and frenzied.

If it weren't for the sturdy metal restraints on their limbs, the wild beasts would have already charged out to fight the warriors.

Bai Xiaoyu led them over, and the Sixteenth Legion identified overlapping genes of black bear, weasel, and mongoose. The Twenty-ninth Legion identified gray wolf and reindeer.

The remaining three wild beasts were pangolin, ferret, and hedgehog.

Seeing these wild beasts transformed into feral creatures, completely devoid of reason and humanity, the expressions of both sides changed.

Some of the people who brought Egg here were parents of Egg. Familiar comrades who had fought alongside the gene-overlapping wild beasts also rushed back from the front lines to identify their comrades-in-arms with whom they had shared life and death for years.

Although the wild beasts had not yet returned to human form, their faces had changed, but their overall beast forms remained largely unaffected. After all, transforming the beast form was difficult, and any changes would affect their combat abilities. Moreover, they only targeted the human face; while there were some differences in the heads of the beast forms, the patterns and features on their bodies remained unchanged. Comrades who had known each other for years could recognize them at a glance.

One warrior, when the black bear went berserk, held its head and parted the fur on its back, revealing an ugly scar underneath.

The warrior, both elated and enraged, said, "It's him! This scar is from when he shielded me from a fatal attack during a mission. He's a kind-hearted person, always warm and generous. His dream was to protect the galaxy from the Zerg, which is why he joined the military and fought bravely on the battlefield. How could he end up like this? He even attacked the guard squad and tried to harm ordinary citizens. He would never do such a thing."

Not just this warrior, all the others recognized their comrades. Seeing their current state, everyone looked grief-stricken.

One warrior, due to his comrade's intense frenzy, had to fight against his former ally.

After subduing his comrade, seeing him drooling and snarling, the warrior couldn't help but tear up, "Can they still be saved? He has a wife and a three-year-old daughter. Since she was born, he only went home once for her hatching. He promised that once the war calms down and the Zerg are driven out of the galaxy, he would take all his unpaid leave and spend time with his family."

Bai Xiaoyu listened to their stories about their comrades, took a deep breath, and said, "They will recover."

Pausing for a moment, Bai Xiaoyu adjusted his emotions, noticing that the weasel seemed slightly calmer than before, "Do you have photos of his family?"

The warrior was taken aback, "Yes."

He had given the photo earlier, saying that if he didn't return from the battlefield, the warrior should visit his family on his behalf.

Bai Xiaoyu: "Show him the photo and tell him about his family."

The warrior projected a photo. In the photo, a family of three smiled happily. The one being held was a half-beast, with the upper body of a weasel and the lower body of a human.

The struggling weasel, upon seeing the photo, suddenly paused as if frozen, then called out to the projected image.

Everyone saw the raging value on the nearby monitor fluctuate and eventually stabilize.

They all showed hopeful expressions. It really worked.

Bai Xiaoyu: "The warriors haven't fully turned into wild beasts yet. They still have soft spots in their hearts that need to be awakened by their loved ones."

He then explained the situation with the large snake, and the warriors, seeing the data, realized their comrades could still be saved and were very excited.

"What can we do to help?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "Notify their loved ones to come and help them through this ordeal."

After understanding the situation, they found that these wild beast warriors were fortunate. Their kindness had preserved the softest parts of their hearts, which now served as a breakthrough for their redemption.

After discussing bringing their loved ones, Bai Xiaoyu and the warriors turned their attention to the remaining three wild beasts.

No legion had the authority to investigate the genetic sequences of other legions' soldiers.

Bai Xiaoyu led everyone out. For now, they could only try to suppress these three wild beasts. He knew that their genetic sequences were unique, and their previous identities no longer mattered.

Once exposed, Bai Xiaoyu wouldn't be able to keep them. These matters belonged to the military, and the wild beasts would be taken away.

The forces capable of transferring warriors from the battlefield likely played significant roles within the military or even the empire, allowing them to remain undetected.

More frighteningly, they didn't know if only these nine warriors had been affected or if more had suffered the same fate.

In the end, the matter was left to the two legions to secretly investigate, confirm the identities of the wild beasts, and bring their loved ones over discreetly.

Meanwhile, Bai Qi was staring at the golden brain in the container, his eyes filled with ambition and fervor.

Success was imminent. He was about to possess a powerful weapon, a Zerg prince, which rivaled an entire legion.

Old Qi was observing the nearly completed Zerg emperor's brain, "Has the prince not been fed recently?"

Bai Qi: "Yes, until I have full control over it, I cannot let it grow stronger."

Old Qi nodded, "That's indeed safer. But have you prepared the nutrients it needs afterward?"

Bai Qi opened his light-brain, revealing a dark chamber filled with unconscious warriors. Black worms moved back and forth, each time returning with a slime-covered human.

A small pile had already formed.

Old Qi frowned, then relaxed, asking, "You've been cooperating with the Zerg for a while. Have you ever seen their appearance?"

Bai Qi: "No, but I've heard their voice. It sounds quite young, though I'm not sure if it's just my imagination."

A few high-ranking Zerg could transform into human form, but most considered humans mere food and disdained transforming.

The Zerg approached him because his ancestors had been parasitized and modified by the Zerg emperor's brain.

Bai Qi shrugged, "They treat me as one of their own and provide great assistance. I naturally won't refuse such benefits."

However, he disliked their condescending tone. Once he used their hands to gain full control over the Zerg prince, who would be using whom was uncertain.

These Zerg-spewed humans were warriors from the battlefield. Through the Zerg's hands, even if investigated, nothing could be traced back.

The essence and energy of these warriors are nourishment for the Prince. Once the chip made from the insect emperor's brain is implanted into the Prince's brain, we can start feeding him.

Such a powerful weapon, he has waited too long for it.

With the insect Prince around, the modifications of other warriors have become somewhat uninteresting to him.

However, he never has enough weapons, especially since he lost nine previously. For now, he won't modify them; they will be kept as nutrients for the Prince's growth.

Soon, they carried the prepared chip towards the laboratory where the insect Prince was held.

The deep blue mass, sensing something, slightly loosened its tightly coiled tentacles, revealing a black dot that resembled an eye in the center.

After many days of exhausting a large amount of mental energy to control the tentacles near the tail, and due to a lack of nutrition, it had shrunk even more than before.

The deep blue mass stared at the golden chip inside the transparent container in Old Qi's hand, and its tentacles moved uneasily for the first time.

This aura, is it the Emperor?

How do these two hateful humans possess the aura of the Emperor? What do they want to do?

Meanwhile, after seeing off the warriors from the two legions, Bai Xiaoyu took stock of all the eggs in the incubation room.

Most of the eggs were fine, but there were problems with the hibernating ones. He couldn't use his mental energy recklessly to probe their state, so he had to leave them alone for now while recording their data and thinking of solutions.

Currently, there were ninety-nine eggs in the incubation room, with one still in his alchemy furnace.

It was time to bring down the tentacle egg for cultivation.

Thus, Bai Xiaoyu brought the large black egg and the metal egg back to the room, carrying Xiaodidian.

He opened the door to the alchemy room, and soon a blue shadow rushed out, heading straight for the little white tiger that had just transformed back.

Bai Xiaoyu was not surprised by this, as it had happened more than once.

This tentacle almost performed this daily, either targeting the two stronger eggs or Xiaodidian.

Today, it was particularly urgent, not even attempting to attack the stronger eggs first before going for Xiaodidian.

Now it was directly aiming for Xiaodidian, seemingly determined to capture it.

Due to this situation, Bai Xiaoyu left a strand of mental energy on Xiaodidian, along with another on the tentacle.

So Bai Xiaoyu wasn't worried.

The little white tiger, which changed every day, was no longer the weak creature that needed constant help.

The little white tiger nimbly dodged several attacks from the tentacle and gradually found opportunities to claw at the deep blue mass.

Unable to capture the little white tiger, the deep blue tentacle grew anxious.

Suddenly, countless deep blue hairs appeared all over its body, and it charged at the little white tiger again.

Due to the sense of danger brought by those two humans, the Prince didn't dare to be careless.

In the coming times, he would need to deal with those two humans and might not have the chance to provide food for the tail.

There were three white tigers here; if he could capture one for the tail, it could sustain itself for some time. Perhaps it wouldn't finish digesting it by the time he returned.

The feeling of hunger was unbearable, and after enduring it for so long, he didn't want the tail to suffer the same fate.

Therefore, securing food reserves was a must!

Thus, the tentacle began to show signs of aggression, with a large number of blue hairs extending from its arm-sized body, writhing constantly.

Looking at the deep blue tentacle, Bai Xiaoyu's expression changed.

This tentacle was indeed very aggressive; even a single tentacle of the insect Prince was difficult to handle.

Given this level of attack, he dared not let Xiaodidian continue facing it. This time, the opponent was clearly serious.

Since that was the case, they would also be serious.

Bai Xiaoyu waved his hand, closing the door to the alchemy room. The eggs that hadn't hatched shouldn't witness the violent and bloody scene about to unfold.

Just as he closed the door, the large black egg, which had been standing still beside him, suddenly rushed forward.

Within two minutes, Bai Xiaoyu looked at the flattened strip on the ground, speechless.

The large black egg returned to Bai Xiaoyu's side, rubbing against him.

Bai Xiaoyu patted the large black egg. "Good job."

Then the metal egg also rolled over the blue strip and hopped to Bai Xiaoyu's side, shaking its body as if asking for a pat.

The little white tiger also walked over the blue strip from head to tail.

While the tiger and the two eggs competed for attention, the blue strip on the ground gradually recovered, though the black dot at the top disappeared, and the previous urgency was gone.

Bai Xiaoyu knew that the main consciousness had temporarily abandoned control of this tentacle.

This situation wouldn't last long; usually, it would reappear when the tentacle egg needed to absorb insect crystal energy and nutrient solution.

But this time, even at mealtime, the deep blue tentacle remained coiled around the egg, with the black dot not appearing.

Without the main consciousness, the tentacle was easier to handle.

Thus, the deep blue tentacle, still struggling, was placed back into the transparent sphere container. Bai Xiaoyu wanted to bring the tentacle egg down to the incubation room and decided to restrain the tentacle for the first time.

After the tentacle egg no longer sensed the tentacle, it moved restlessly, shaking its body, and then rolled around in the incubation compartment.

The cultivation compartment is much larger than the childcare box and is more suitable for nurturing the eggs. However, facing an unfamiliar environment and without any tentacles, the egg kept rolling around.

Bai Xiaoyu sighed and placed the sphere containing the tentacle, now transparent, into the cultivation compartment. The two spheres, one large and one small, rolled together until they finally settled down.

Bai Xiaoyu began to add energy and potions to the tentacle egg. On the other side, the blue mass seemed to explode, breaking dozens of containers, but ultimately it was implanted with a chip.
