Due to the conflict, Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu had no intention of staying at Lanxiang Bar to continue having dinner. The two of them went to the coffee shop opposite Aaliyah Gun Shop to have a cup of coffee and eat a few cookies and pastries, and then they settled the matter.
After sending Ye Yang Bailiu back to the dormitory, Chen Xing drove the dune buggy alone and returned to the underground water station.
In the room, he opened the iron storage cabinet, got into the corridor, whistled, called the insect cart, and went to find Suna. The incubation room is now more than 20 kilometers away from here, which takes almost half an hour's drive.
Chen Xing also put some thought into installing springs on the bug car, and then padded it with sponges and blankets to reduce vibrations.
After leaning on the bug car and squinting for a while, Chen Xing came to the incubation room. Looking around, there were four or five insect eggs glowing green all around, as if they were in a mysterious emerald cave.
"Brother, brother~" Su Na shouted happily when she saw Chen Xing's bug car.
Chen Xing got out of the car and looked up. Suna was bigger than last time. If it was a large container truck before, now it is a yacht or a small cargo ship. It can no longer be described as a vehicle on land.
According to the "Encyclopedia of Post-Cataclysmic Creatures" he had read before, the queen ant in its fully mature form was larger than an aircraft carrier.
At this time, Chen Xing suddenly discovered that the human part of Su Na had shrunk further into the insect body. The shoulders that were originally exposed have now been mostly retracted, as if they had been swallowed by a swamp.
Judging from the development trend, as her size increases, it is likely that all of them will shrink into the body and become a true queen ant.
Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He didn't want to face a bug. At least now, he could still see Suna's voice and smile, and he could also touch her smooth, jade-like skin, as well as her elastic, yet crisp and tender bamboo shoots.
If the whole thing is retracted, what else can he touch...
"Brother, why are you always looking at me~" Su Na was a little embarrassed when she found that Chen Xing had been staring at her, her face turned red and she said coquettishly.
"Can't I take a look?" Chen Xing's eyes narrowed and he asked in a cold voice.
"No, no, brother, you can watch it if you want~" Su Na quickly moved her legs and leaned down to let Chen Xing see more clearly.
"Why has your body gotten bigger again?" Chen Xing asked. He wanted to find out why Suna was getting bigger and see if there was a way to stop the trend.
"I, I..." Su Na turned her head left and right, looked at her body, then looked at the green dome and thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Maybe, maybe she ate the queen ant... "
"What, you ate the whole one?" Chen Xing looked at Suna's cherry mouth and asked in disbelief. That fire ant queen was as big as two jeeps, and she had eaten them all in just a few days?
"Yeah, I've been eating it for the past two days, it's delicious~" Suna said, seeming to still be recalling the delicious taste.
What is unimaginable is that she eats so fast with such a small mouth. How on earth does she eat?
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. Just like a silkworm, eating bit by bit, although it seems slow, it can't bear to eat all day long, and it can eat away no matter how much it has.
It turned out that it was caused by the absorption of nutrients. Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh secretly. This situation can be said to be unsolvable. Could he still make her stop eating?
Thinking of this, he was still a little unwilling. It was originally multi-functional, but now it has become a single one. The losses are not unbearable.
Underworld termites, underworld plane, psychic affinity, material decomposition, telepathy, hundred nest ant queens, swallowing magma, igniting spiritual fire, teleportation, star-devouring ant queen, traveling through the void...
He kept recalling the contents of the biological encyclopedia, trying to find relevant clues.
Psychic Affinity…
Light the spiritual fire!
Suddenly, two nouns flashed through my mind one after another.
Underworld termites have very good psychic affinity. This means that Suna can absorb and utilize spiritual energy. Then he thought of the two psychic awakening potions placed in the bank of Orchid Town.
The "spiritual awakening" of humans and the "ignition of spiritual fire" of mutant creatures are essentially the same. And Suna is originally a human being. Can she ignite the spiritual fire by injecting a spiritual awakening potion? Perhaps after awakening her psychic powers, she would be able to maintain a stable form instead of turning into a complete bug.
However, potions can also be harmful to Suna. Technically speaking, she is now only a "half-human".
After repeated thinking, Chen Xing decided to give it a try.
There are three reasons.
First, Suna has extremely strong vitality and a good digestive system. Not to mention the corpses of various mutated creatures, the poisonous sacs of spiders can be eaten without fail, making her almost invulnerable to all poisons. A small psychic awakening potion should not have many consequences. Maybe to her, it's just a tube of glucose.
Secondly, he believed that Suna was not willing to have the human part disappear, even if it cost her life. Of course, this idea may not be correct, but if Suna loses her human part, her dream of finding her mother will be shattered.
Thirdly, from his own point of view, Suna's human form is very important, because it is related to the way they get along with each other. You know, humans and bugs are on natural opposites, and once this bridge disappears, there will be a serious crisis of trust between them.
Just think about it, who would want to get along with a monster?
Furthermore, does the partial disappearance of Suna's human body mean that human thoughts will also disappear?
Based on these three reasons, Chen Xing decided to give it a try. Perhaps this decision was a bit ruthless, but from his point of view, if Suna lost her human part, she would be dead.
"Suna..." he whispered.
"Huh?" Su Na tilted her little head, with confusion on her face.
"Well..." Chen Xing seemed a little hesitant. Although he had made a decision, when it came time to speak, he didn't know what to say.
For a moment, there was a war between heaven and man in his heart, and his face was uncertain. Seeing his appearance, Suna lay aside obediently and did not disturb him.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Suna, have you noticed that your human part is getting less and less?"
"Huh?" Su Na was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing. She lowered her head, looked at her chest and abdomen, and gradually shed tears.
"Woooooooo..."
The girl's sobbing voice was pitiful, as if there was an invisible hand grasping Chen Xing's heart, making him feel extremely tight in his chest.
"I have a way. Maybe I can ignite your spiritual fire in advance and find a solution, but..." He paused and said in a stronger tone, "Your life may be in danger."
"Wuwuwu, I don't want to become a bug, I want my mother, wuwuwu..."
"Brother, don't let Suna turn into a bug. Suna is not afraid of death. As long as she doesn't turn into a bug, Suna is willing to do anything." Suna said with tears on her face.
"Don't worry, I won't let you turn into a bug." Chen Xing said firmly.
After being comforted for a while, Suna's mood finally stabilized. Then, she thought about it for a long time, and finally made up her mind and said to Chen Xing, "Brother, please promise Su Na something..."
"If one day, Suna completely turns into a bug, you will... you will..."
"Just kill Suna so that Suna won't turn into a bug."
"Don't worry, that day won't happen." Chen Xing comforted.
"No, you have to promise me." Suna insisted.
"Okay, okay, I promise you." Chen Xing agreed, but in his heart he was thinking that Suna's nearly two thousand life force was really not something he could kill if he wanted to.
