"Useless," Zhong Li Feiyu sighed.
"We've contacted them several times, but there's been no response from the other side. They probably don't want to deal with us," Zhong Li Feiyu said.
Wei Xingzhou was anxious, "Are we just going to watch like this? Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui will die!!"
"I know," Zhong Li Feiyu frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm thinking of a solution too."
Zhong Li Feiyu hadn't come up with a solution yet. Meanwhile, on the ancient Earth, Lu Wanqing was running far away with Cui Cui, but she couldn't shake off the mutated animal behind them. She was about to collapse.
Lu Wanqing's mind was clear; the best way now was to kill the mutated animal chasing them to be safe.
However, the last time she came to ancient Earth with her third brother, she had been in a mecha. Killing these mutated animals with a mecha wasn't difficult, but doing it bare-handed…
Lu Wanqing's heart was pounding. She ran, observing her surroundings.
The one chasing them was a black mutated rabbit.
Rabbits can't climb trees, right?
Can Cui Cui climb trees?
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but look at Cui Cui.
"Cui Cui, can you climb trees?" Lu Wanqing asked, unable to resist.
Cui Cui's little face was flushed red from running. She was barely able to catch her breath. Hearing her mother's question, her running speed slowed slightly. She turned her head and looked at her mommy curiously.
Lu Wanqing had only asked out of curiosity and didn't expect much. Cui Cui had been doted on by Wei Xingzhou since she was little, the kind who would be heartbroken even by the slightest grievance. She probably couldn't climb trees, could she?
"Cui Cui, Mama is going to go back and kill that mutated rabbit. You need to be careful and don't let it catch you," Lu Wanqing said.
Cui Cui's mind went blank. What did Mama say?
But at that very moment, Lu Wanqing bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the mutated rabbit behind them.
Lu Wanqing turned her head, and the mutated rabbit didn't expect it. It was hit squarely by the stone and suddenly fell.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Cui Cui was also stunned, looking at the rabbit not far away in surprise.
Lu Wanqing's heart pounded. Feeling uneasy, she bent down, picked up another stone, and smashed it hard at the mutated rabbit.
The mutated rabbit didn't move.
"It's dead?" Lu Wanqing asked, bewildered.
The rabbit that had chased them for so long, making her think they were doomed, was so easily dealt with?
Cui Cui also picked up a stone and smashed it hard at the rabbit.
After three consecutive hits, the rabbit showed no reaction.
"Is it really dead?" Cui Cui couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Lu Wanqing, still not reassured, moved a much larger stone from the side and cautiously approached the mutated rabbit. As she got close, she lifted the stone and smashed it hard at the rabbit.
This time, the rabbit was completely flattened.
Lu Wanqing finally felt relieved. The rabbit was dead, and she and Cui Cui were temporarily safe.
But…
Lu Wanqing looked around the environment and became worried again. The scorched earth, the blackened plants, and even the animals here had mutated into blackened forms.
Ancient Earth was too severely polluted.
What would happen to her and Cui Cui in the future?
She remembered that the last time she came here with her third brother, her genes had mutated afterward. Now, neither she nor Cui Cui were wearing protective suits. Would they…
Lu Wanqing thought about it and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Would Wei Xingzhou come looking for them?
Logically, since Wei Xingzhou loved Cui Cui so much, he should have discovered their predicament quickly if something happened to them.
If Wei Xingzhou looked for them, he should quickly discover that she and Cui Cui were in trouble.
Wei Xingzhou would definitely send someone to rescue her and Cui Cui, wouldn't he? No matter where they were, Wei Xingzhou wouldn't give up.
Lu Wanqing thought, and her mind gradually calmed down. She forced herself to observe the surrounding environment. The immediate priority was how she and Cui Cui would survive. They had to survive to wait for Wei Xingzhou to bring people to rescue them.
And also…
What was this game the Insectoid Empress had mentioned?
If they won, would the Insectoid Empress really release her third brother, and her elder and second brothers?
Lu Wanqing's heart began to race again. From before until now, the Insectoid Empress had not explained the game rules to her at all. But now, with her and Cui Cui thrown here, did it mean the Insectoid Empress's game had already begun?
So, what did she need to do now to win this game?
A multitude of questions flooded Lu Wanqing's mind. She thought, then looked up at the big eyes that had been following her and Cui Cui in the sky. Although she didn't know what these big eyes were for, since the Insectoids had left them here, they must have a purpose, right? Perhaps they were used to monitor her and Cui Cui?
There was also this device on her wrist, resembling a holographic computer.
Lu Wanqing thought about it and opened the "holographic computer" again. But this time, when she opened it, she was stunned because on the projected holographic screen, she saw a lot of information, dense and numerous, line after line, like… bullet comments.
"They're scared by just a mutated rabbit, they definitely won't last three days!"
"How could it be three days? I bet one human, they won't last tonight!"
"Ahhh, I don't understand, why is the Empress playing these games with them? Why not just capture Lu Wanqing as a hostage and force Lu Yang to marry the Empress?"
"I also don't understand the Empress's actions, but I think watching Lu Yang's favorite human struggle on ancient Earth is quite interesting? Perhaps this is the effect the Empress wants?"
"Hahahaha, the one upstairs is spot on. I also think it's fun to watch this human woman struggle on ancient Earth. I hope she lives a few more days so I can watch the game for a few more days, hahaha!"
"Ancient Earth is full of mutated substances. If they stay there for too long, will they also mutate?"
"Yeah, I also heard that staying on ancient Earth for a long time causes mutation. What if they mutate into Insectoids?"
"The one upstairs, did your brain get sprayed by a dung beetle? Mutate into our Insectoid race? I don't welcome that. We Insectoids don't welcome humans!"
"Exactly, we don't welcome humans. If she dares to mutate into an Insectoid, I'll be the first to kill her!"
The bullet comments were dense, filled with malicious words. But judging by the tone, they seemed to be… Insectoids?
Lu Wanqing's heart beat a little faster. She looked up again at the big eyes above her and Cui Cui, then at the screen projected by the holographic computer, or rather, the bullet comments, and couldn't help but wonder…
These big eyes, perhaps like recording orbs, were used for live streaming?
The Insectoid Empress was live-streaming their situation on ancient Earth to the Insectoid populace. Her third brother and elder and second brothers were also with the Insectoids now. So… could her and Cui Cui's situation be seen by her third brother and the others?
