Unless you are an alpha with the ability to differentiate, even if you wear the most awesome exoskeleton, you will just give Dante his head.
More than 900 days ago, the fear of being attacked by a class A insect swarm on the starship once again dominated him.
After running so hard that he was out of breath, Lin Jing lowered his head and held his knees to breathe.
"He... He Pu... that Dante probably didn't come after me..."
When he looked up again, He Pu had already run dozens of meters ahead.
What the hell? Are your knees working that well?
[Alert, alert—Class B insects are approaching. Scan results - Dante. ]
The sirens continued, growing more urgent.
"What a fool - I don't have two ounces of meat in total, what the hell do you think?"
Lin Jing turned on the running mode again.
The system constantly displayed the distance between him and the Dante.
There is still one thousand meters to go.
Eight hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Lin Jing's heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
A huge shadow shrouded the sky above Lin Jing.
"He Pu - pheromone interference -" Lin Jing shouted.
This time He Pu didn't ask "which kind", but opened his chest and released all the pheromone bombs with a crackle. Huge fireworks exploded in an instant. Lin Jing passed through the fireworks without looking back.
He didn't know if any of these flavors could make Dante fascinated.
Something wrapped around his ankle, and when he lowered his head, he saw the golden tentacles, which were Dante.
Suddenly falling forward, Lin Jing was dragged towards the Dante at high speed.
The pheromone smoke dissipated, revealing Dante's huge body. It looked like the mythical dragon, but it had eight legs and four pairs of eyes on its head, which shone brightly with the excitement of hunting.
Full of desire for survival, Lin Jing pulled out the particle blade on his leg and slashed it seven or eight times before barely cutting off the tentacles.
At this time, he had been dragged in front of Dante, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his back.
As long as you are not dead, your soul will run!
Lin Jing stood up and continued running forward.
But this time, Dante's tentacles were like blooming golden fireworks, wrapping up Lin Jing like a dragnet.
He Pu rushed up, Lin Jing was frightened when he saw it, "Run, He Pu!"
Who can you beat with your crappy knees?
But He Pu did not run away, but jumped onto the golden cocoon, trying to drag Lin Jing out.
Unfortunately, for Dante, Hepu was like a little grasshopper. He was lightly swung by Dante's tentacles and hit the exposed stone next to him.
With a "crunch", Hepu's head separated from its body.
"Lying on the grass——"
He Pu's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, the core is not broken. It's just that... it can't move..."
Who worries about you! I'm worried about myself!
The next second, Lin Jing was dragged in front of Dante.
The fear of death surged into Lin Jing's heart. His only hope now was to be swallowed in one bite instead of being "cut in half" from the middle.
[system! system! Help me! ] Lin Jing shouted loudly in his mind.
System: [Uh... do you still want to call this ID name after starting over? ]
Waste systems are still waste today.
Lin Jing: [All He Pus have their existence value and lofty ideals, but you are just a bastard! ]
System: [Dear, most systems are ordinary systems. You have to accept the ordinaryness of your own system. ]
After waiting for a long time, this Dante still hadn't eaten him. Lin Jing's mind went blank. In front of him, only Dante's eight eyes were getting closer and closer to him.
Each eye reflected his own masked face - dull and frightened.
Death comes.
Then the Dante touched Lin Jing's mask lightly, as if testing what he was wearing.
Rather than being curious, I was a little cautious.
Then, it approached Lin Jing again, all the golden tentacles loosened, and half of its face pressed against Lin Jing's body, making a "woo-woo" sound.
After swallowing with a gulp, Lin Jing's thinking ability came back bit by bit.
[It... doesn't eat me, does it want to use me as a reserve food? Gain some weight before eating? Or is a metal exoskeleton not to his liking? ]
What waste systems do best is spread fear.
[Well, I think...your pheromone interference bomb worked. ]
Lin Jing: [Huh? ]
Waste System: [It likes the smell of you. ]
Lin Jing: [Huh? ]
The waste system answered more bluntly: [It wants to stick with you. ]
[Aren’t we...already attached? ]
Lin Jing suddenly had a creepy premonition.
Because the Dante in front of him opened his tail like a peacock, and then something comparable to an overpass pier swayed.
This is Dante's most devastating weapon.
"I must be dreaming... wake up quickly... wake up quickly... someone come and strangle me to death!"
In the dark room, Zhou Linshuang's shoulders trembled and she suddenly opened her eyes.
He actually didn't sleep peacefully, but the moment his brain resumed functioning, he felt a dull pain in his temples and the back of his head.
He subconsciously turned his head, thinking that the boy would sleep opposite him, but the small bed was empty.
Is it day or night?
How long had he slept?
The more I thought about it, the more obvious the neuralgia became, and every cell in my body felt like it was about to burst.
His night vision was very good, and he could clearly see that beside his bed were not only the nutrient solution with the lid opened, but also the folded white vest and the empty iron bucket beside the bed.
Zhou Linshuang sighed and just sat there.
It was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the boy's breathing.
But he didn't care, because he was more accustomed to being alone.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the boy still hasn’t come back, and even the chatty little robot is nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Linshuang tried to get up, but the weakness caused by the neuralgia made him only able to adjust his sitting posture.
He slowly raised his hand to get the nutritional supplements beside the bed, and then he discovered a few lines of words written on the palm of his hand: "He Pu and I went out, don't worry, we will be back." ]
The words were so crooked that it took a lot of effort to make out what they were written on.
Later, Lin Jing told him that this was the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
Zhou Linshuang leaned back on the bed and slowly closed her fingers.
As for Lin Jing...a large white, high-density waterfall crashed down from above his head. The huge impact made him fall to the ground, his face dazed.
[Wow, it loves you so much! ] The waste system doesn’t know what is moving.
Lin Jing felt like he stepped on the wooden board covering the cesspool in kindergarten and fell down.
He wiped the stuff off his mask and staggered forward.
He has to go, he has to leave... He still has a chance to live...
But before he could step out of Dante's shadow, those golden tentacles pulled him back again, and after a meaningless yelling and struggle, the waterfall descended again.
[Wow, it loves you so much! ] The waste system is touched again.
After repeating this process for about a dozen times, Lin Jing just lay down without yelling, scolding, or moving.
On the contrary, the Dante touched Lin Jing lightly, probably to confirm whether he was dead.
Lin Jing closed his eyes tightly, not bothering to give it a look.
Haven't the pheromones on his exoskeleton been washed away by these white waterfalls?
This Dante lay down next to Lin Jing, looking at him with eight burning eyes, a little sad and a little at a loss.
Lin Jing was speechless. Don’t the Zerg have any brains?
Even with this difference in size, we know that he is not the same species as it!
Not sure how much time had passed, but Lin Jing felt that the battery of the exoskeleton might be exhausted if it continued like this, and he had to rush back to the base.
And according to time calculation, the effects of Zhou Linshuang's medicine should have passed.
God knows if this guy would do anything to stretch the wound when he wasn't under the supervision of a doctor.
Lin Jing moved, and the Dante suddenly got up excitedly, and looked like it was about to get close to him.
Grass! Is it over?
Lin Jing slapped it on the face, and the guy actually stepped back.
Huh? Is it afraid of me?
The system’s well-intentioned science: [It’s not afraid of you. It treats you as its own omega. Omegas have a very high status among the Zerg, and the higher the level of the Zerg, the more strict their wives are. ]
Lin Jing's face suddenly filled with black lines, "Really, I can check this information myself." ]
He started walking slowly, and Dante on the other end wanted to get close to him. Lin Jing turned his head and stretched out his arms to push the other person away, but he couldn't push him away at all, so he could only stare at the other person fiercely.
Dante froze there, making a "wuwu" sound, as if his soul had been greatly traumatized.
Obviously Lin Jing was the one who was hurt the most.
He dragged his exhausted body forward after being extremely frightened, and He Pu's eyes were still flashing.
"Lin Jing, you are still alive. It doesn't seem to want to eat you."
"Ha..." Lin Jing said melancholy, "In a sense, I am really lucky."
Bending down, Lin Jing picked up He Pu's head. Thinking that it would not be easy to find some useful scraps now, Lin Jing picked up the machine body scattered aside and staggered forward. .
As he walked, something slipped from his exoskeleton and fell into the sand.
It was daytime, and the midday sun was glaring and hot.
White steam continued to rise from the exoskeleton.
Sweat flowed down Lin Jing's forehead, sliding all the way from his cheeks into his neck, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He glanced at the system. In order to ensure enough power to return to the base, the temperature control system was only running at 50%.
So hot……
The Dante, which had been slowly following Lin Jing, moved forward to cover him, just blocking the scorching sun. Several times it tried to get closer, but Lin Jing mercilessly bumped it with his elbow. Then he avoided it in a panic.
System: [It loves you so much. ]
Hearing these words again, Lin Jing would spit them out.
But thanks to this Dante, Lin Jing felt like he was in an insect-free state. No matter the insects flying in the sky or burrowing underground, not a single one appeared.
