Chapter 274, Brother, take care...
After Qi Min took the initiative to explain, Ling Yi and the others also figured out the origin and reason for these cubs.
"It's...it's outrageous! Those who abuse cubs deserve to die!"
"Exactly! How could such vicious insects exist! They don't deserve to live! They don't even deserve to return to the embrace of the Insect God after death!"
Upon hearing Qi Min's account, some of the female insects, who were already quite agitated, immediately began to curse.
Hearing the room filled with indignant curses, Number 01 nodded repeatedly, and his gaze towards them began to show a hint of satisfaction, clearly enjoying watching them curse.
Although No. 01 thought their word choice was a bit strange, after reviewing the relevant memories, she no longer felt that anything was wrong.
After the female insects finished their indignant curses, they looked at the ghost children with gray or blue skin again, and their fear was replaced by heartache and pity.
If these cubs were born in their country, they would definitely be treated like extremely rare energy stones. How could they be treated like this!
Whether before or after the establishment of various star systems, offspring have always been the continuation of the race, not experimental subjects to be harmed! Nor should they be lives to be ignored!
Listening to the indignation of the female insects, Ling Yi and Chen Xuan had no intention of comforting them, because they were also very angry, angry at those people from another world who were like insect excrement!
What a terrible society must be for such a thing to happen.
Whether it was the layer Qi Min mentioned, or the two layers Liu Yan added above, they all saw through these events how terrible and tragic the other world was.
But Ling Yi's thoughts then turned to the society he now lived in.
In their world, under the current Zerg rules and regulations, aren't some low-ranking or forcibly assigned females or sub-females also experiencing a disregard and cruel treatment of life?
While the female insects continued to express their indignation, Qi Min walked towards No. 01, indicating that he wanted to talk to him alone.
Then, in the room where No. 01 had once used to modify Qi Min's body, a one-sided beating suddenly broke out.
"Um...cough..."
Qi Min lay on the ground, staring apologetically at the ceiling, remaining silent.
Number 01 sat next to Qi Min, seemingly angry, but with his back to him, his eyes showed a calm expression.
"So, you've come here to deal with us, right?"
Qi Min stared at the ceiling, listening to the boy's soft question. He felt his throat go dry, and after moving his lips several times, he closed his eyes and uttered a strained "yes."
Upon hearing Qi Min's reply, the young boy did not raise his fist again as he had expected. Instead, he slowly stood up and kicked him with his foot.
"Get up, I won't hit you anymore."
Hearing these unexpected and unusually calm words, Qi Min couldn't help but open his eyes and look over in surprise.
But he found that the anger that had been on the boy's face when he beat him earlier was gone; instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you had enough of being beaten yet?!"
The boy's fierce tone was actually quite calm, but Qi Min was somewhat stunned by what he heard.
"Actually, we've had enough of this kind of life. The cycle keeps repeating, starting again, and we're stuck in this place where we can't get out. Do you know how much we're suffering?"
The young boy's voice was light and airy, yet it revealed pain. He looked around with a sense of ease and relief in his eyes, and smiled gently when he met Qi Min's surprised gaze.
"I also want to thank you; finally, someone can help us get out of this predicament."
The boy's relaxed and happy smile made Qi Min's nose and throat sting with tears, and his eyes inexplicably began to redden uncontrollably.
"Ha, I...I thought...I thought..."
You'll blame me...
Qi Min couldn't finish his last words. His emotions suddenly collapsed like a dam breaking, causing all the negative emotions he had accumulated in the dungeon to pour out, which also made the originally relaxed and relieved young man panic.
"Hey! What's wrong? I didn't say anything. Did I hit you too hard and make you cry??"
The young boy squatted down in a slightly flustered manner, looking at him nervously, completely bewildered as to why he would react so strongly.
In fact, Qi Min himself did not know why he suddenly acted this way. The negative emotions that he had repeatedly buried in the past were now like a big net that had completely bound him.
The young boy looked at Qi Min, who was taking a deep breath to calm himself, with annoyance. He felt that he shouldn't have taken this opportunity to fulfill his long-held wish to beat him up.
After a few breaths, Qi Min suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. Perhaps because the sudden surge of emotions had been released, he no longer felt as heavy as before.
After adjusting himself, Qi Min sat up and met the boy's slightly worried and annoyed gaze, revealing a bright smile.
"I'm fine. It's my own mental problem that's causing me pain. It has nothing to do with the few blows you gave me. You don't really think your skinny hands can hurt me that much, do you?"
His familiar, irritating tone successfully turned the boy's annoyance and worry into speechlessness and anger.
"Who are you calling skinny! I'm just afraid I'll beat you to death!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I was wrong. Number 01, is there anything you want?"
Qi Min laughed heartily, then became serious and earnestly questioned the young boy in front of him.
The young boy was taken aback by his sudden serious question, then thought for a moment and said.
"I want... a name, please give me a name! I don't want to be number 01 anymore."
Qi Min lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at the young boy who should have had a normal life and spoke earnestly.
"How about Shuyi? It means comfortable, free, and carefree. If you don't mind taking my surname, Qi Shuyi is the name I'm giving you."
"Qi Shuyi..."
The young boy murmured his new name softly, his eyes filled with curiosity and sparkling light.
Seeing that he did not object, Qi Min took out paper and pen again, and held his hand as he had done with the young boy before, teaching him to write the three characters stroke by stroke.
The slender, powerful black ink characters glide lightly across the pristine white paper, like a young boy seeing black ink leap from the tip of his pen for the first time.
He also carefully wrote out the three characters of Qi Shuyi, stroke by stroke.
Afterwards, Qi Min used his points to redeem all the food items he could get from the store and arranged them in a clearing in the room.
Hearing their brother's call, several small figures left the laboratory amidst the pitying yet enthusiastic gazes of the female insects and went to where Qi Min was.
In the following time, Ling Yi, with the area map specially drawn by Qi Min, and Chen Xuan and the others arranged for each female insect to place the quantum bombs they had specially brought at the corresponding locations.
Meanwhile, Qi Min led the ghost children and ghost infants in eating and drinking in the empty laboratory, trying his best to make them happy in their final moments.
During this time, after 0723 learned of Qi Shuyi's name, he also made a fuss about Qi Min wanting a nickname for her.
"Then let's call you Tanggao (Sugar Cake). You're only this young, so a nickname is enough. If you have an afterlife, your family should choose your formal name."
0723 didn't care about any nicknames or titles, and he was happy to have one. And so, after all the quantum bombs were placed, this brief reunion came to an end.
As Qi Min and his team submitted their mission, just before their figures disappeared, the young boy finally called out to Qi Min in person, "Brother, take care..."
