Zerg: I am the real white moonlight in the Zerg
Chapter 21: A good place, a good weapon
The dinner took a long time. Bai Meng and Paten agreed to stay in the manor for one night and go to the military headquarters to pack their luggage and move tomorrow.
There is a special three-floor cottage in the manor reserved for Bai Meng, so it is no problem for another Paten to live here.
"Patern, Herman Holz and I are waiting for you in the study on the second floor. You can come up after you finish chatting with Sewell. There is spare tea in the kitchen."
"Okay, Your Excellency."
When only Seville and Patern were left on the first floor, the two bugs sat calmly opposite each other at the table. When the bugs were around, they could still talk to each other, but when the bugs were gone, they suddenly found that they didn't know what to say.
"Is this the good place you mentioned?"
"Isn't it good?" Sewell asked back, "We are very free here. Your Excellency has never restricted us."
His emerald green eyes were still as peaceful as before, instantly reminding Patern of his old self.
"In that case, why don't you reply to my message?"
"I'll come back when it's better. If it's not, just treat me as dead. I never thought the experiment would go so smoothly. Seeing Scott going crazy reminded me of the time when we supported the First Legion three years ago."
Paten also fell silent. Not only did they lose many comrades that time, but many of those who stayed behind also left the military due to mental disorder.
At that time, they not only had to guard against attacks from alien races, but also had to be careful of their comrades behind them.
Those aliens with tentacles have the ability to cause mental chaos in female insects. Although they are only a small number of high-level aliens, they still cause them heavy losses.
"Do you want to contact the Admiral and Teacher Keith?" Paten asked.
"No," Sewell shook his head, "Your research here must be kept secret."
"Let me make it clear first," Sewell bumped Patern's shoulder with his fist, "If you have a conflict with the young master, I will definitely stand on the young master's side."
Paten raised his lips, his eyes teasing, "So loyal? Which insect has ever said that all male insects are pests?"
"Well, do you still remember what happened after all these years?"
These were all things he said when he was a teenager. There were only two male insects in Seville's family, one was the male father and the other was his male brother. The male father's rank was not high, but even so, he married a dozen female insects, and the one who gave birth to a male son was the male father's female queen.
Even though Sevier is the youngest female cub, it is natural for her to serve the two male insects in the family.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, this was the Zerg's default rule. Seville's biological female father was the male father's favorite female servant. Every time the male father came, the female father would let Seville hide with several other female fathers who had rooms.
Every time Seville went back, he would consciously prepare the bath water, take the bandages and medicine sent by the female monarch, and wait for the female father to come out.
Later, the male father and his male brother went into the female father's room together, and he no longer had to prepare bath water and bandages for the female father.
"That's all in the past, Paten."
Sewell gathered his thoughts and smiled at Paten with relief: "Seeing that you and the young master are a good match, I feel relieved."
"You don't know how many bugs are behind the Lorraine Group and are living under your protection. The bugs in this manor are just the tip of the iceberg."
"But even so, the number of female insects saved is still too small. But if you are included, or even the Third Legion," Sewell drank the cold water in the glass in one gulp, and said, "we should be able to do more."
After saying this, Sewell stood up and said goodbye: "I'll be leaving first. You and the young master should have something to discuss. See you later."
Paten watched him go away, sat on the first floor for a while before going up to the study on the second floor and knocking on the door.
It was Holtz who opened the door: "Come in, Lieutenant General."
"Thank you."
Paten noticed the extra insect shadow in the study at first glance: "Who is this?"
The projection in midair bowed respectfully to him and introduced itself in a cold and emotionless voice: "Hello, Master Patern, I am the insectoid robot 008, responsible for the group's material transportation work. 008 will obey any of your orders."
Patten observed 008 with a little surprise: "Robot insects? I remember that 75 years ago, the Supreme Court ordered that the development of insect-like robots was prohibited."
He turned around and met Bai Meng's eyes, who was sitting behind the table. "Sir, your pirate ship seems to be much bigger than I thought."
Bai Meng curved her eyes and smiled: "It's a bit late to get off the boat now."
Paten shook his head and sat on the sofa in the study room facing Bai Meng: "I have no intention of running away."
On the contrary, he prefers to get straight to the point.
"Regarding the cooperation between the Third Legion and the Lorraine Group, the Admiral has given me full authority to handle it. We hope to have a long-term and stable supply channel for inhibitors. I wonder what conditions Lorraine can offer?"
Hermann, who was sitting on the sofa at the side, handed Patern a newly printed contract, while Holtz nodded and said hello to Bai Meng before going out to do his own thing.
Hermann was sure that the Third Legion would never refuse this condition, but since it was a business deal, they had already shown their best sincerity, so the Third Legion naturally had to give corresponding returns.
"The contract period is the maximum period stipulated by Zerg law. We will sign a purchase agreement with the Third Legion for the mental suppressants at an interest rate of 5% of the cost price. As for the quantity, how about we base it on the amount delivered to the Third Legion this time?"
"5% interest?" Paten stared at Herman with a half-smile. "Are you trying to do charity? You know, no business worm would miss the opportunity to take advantage."
"Of course not?" Herman smiled and shook his head, crossing his hands on his stomach and shrugged his shoulders leisurely: "The last clause of the contract is the most important."
"Protect your safety at all costs?"
"Originally we just wanted the armed support of the Third Legion on the Imperial Star, but now we have to add this item." Hermann frowned sadly.
Paten suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Meng, who had been silent, and said firmly: "Is there a problem within your organization?"
008 lowered his head, and even in his voice, which was no longer filled with emotion, one could hear a hint of guilt: "Master, this is 008's mistake. 008 accepts the punishment."
Bai Meng shook his head: "This incident can be regarded as a warning. There are still some gaps that we have not yet filled."
"Supply transportation?" Paten's face turned serious and he asked, "Did it happen when the inhibitors were being transported to the Third Legion?"
"This has nothing to do with the Third Legion, Patern."
Bai Meng explained: "This is another batch of goods. It is not transporting inhibitors, but inhibitor raw materials."
"Leng Ren is a bug in the company's security department. He works under 008. He used the identity of a sub-female named Lago to dig up some very important information for us. This can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. Herman, the small family on Gedien 2 can let Devin take action."
Hermann nodded: "Yes, sir."
"So, Patten, do you have any questions about this contract?" Bai Meng asked.
"Let's change the price to 55% of the cost. Compared to the black market where the price is several or even dozens of times higher, we can still afford this."
"What's more, even if there is no contract, I will be responsible for your safety." Paten crumpled the copy in his hand and threw it accurately into the trash can, looking flamboyant and confident.
"After all, if you don't count the newly developed star-destroying weapons of the military, I seem to be the largest armed force of the Third Legion."
