Zerg friends are also delicious

Eden propped himself up on his elbows and leaned forward, trying to sit up.

The numb nerves howled wildly at this moment, the muscles twitched and lost their strength, and the body slumped backwards to the ground.

"Fuck!"

Eden frowned, suppressing the bitterness in his throat.He tried again, with the same result.

Darkness enveloped his vision, giving him the illusion that his eyes were closed.

It was damp and filled with a pungent musty smell.The ground where his skin touched was very rough, grinding his back through his thin clothes like sandpaper, bringing a painful and itchy feeling.

Eden lay limp on the ground.He bit the cheek in his mouth, trying to remember why he was here.

There was a throbbing pain in the neck and the back of the head, and from there the sharp pain spread throughout the torso.

Pizza... Restaurant coordinates... Elle... Covered arm... Gleaming needles...

Fuck! !

He has been kidnapped!

As goosebumps rose on his skin, Eden remembered another bug.

"Switch!"

"Switch!"

Eden panicked.He stretched out his arms to prop up the ground, sat up with difficulty, and glanced around in the darkness.

"E... Eden..."

A weak and desperate voice sounded from not far away.

It was as if every bone in his body had been ripped out.Eden could only kneel up and crawl along the place where the sound came from with his hands and feet.

Touching Switch's cold hand, Eden exhaled slowly and felt better.

"This, where is this?"

"We...were we kidnapped?"

The two males hugged each other.Switch asked softly.

After the eyes adjusted to the darkness, they could vaguely make out the outlines of some objects.

Coupled with the slow touch measurement of his hands and feet, after a few minutes, Eden had a rough judgment of where they were.

There are no windows here.Rough cement floor.The walls are reinforced with metal panels.If you listen carefully, you can hear a very subtle humming sound, which is the operation of the machine.

Given his failure to mobilize his mental power and enter the mental imagery, Eden guessed that it was a mental shield in operation.

Knowing his itinerary, solving Aile quietly and pretending to be the other party to sneak into the suspension car, illegal narcotic and sedative drugs and expensive shielding devices...

This is not the whim of the low-level villains, but a premeditated crime.

Obviously, the other party came for Eden.The unlucky Switch was implicated.

Eden found two thin blankets in the corner.He threw one to Switch, and wrapped the other around himself.

Red Hart is in summer.There is no temperature control equipment here, but it is surprisingly cold.

They were still wearing their original clothes, short sleeves and shorts.A bug terminal is gone.Shoes were also taken.Thin socks can't keep out the cold and wet.Eden felt his toes were freezing.

The chill went into Eden's bones.He had to clasp his shoulders with trembling fingers, trying to retain some of the original warmth of his skin.

Most likely they're underground... which would explain the coldness and dampness of the ground and the smell...

Thoughts, slowed by cold and hunger, moved slowly through his mind.Eden tried to widen his eyes and stared at a place in the darkness.

There, on the wall that blocked the extension of the space, was a narrow and sturdy door.

He touched it with his hands, and it was a one-piece metal composite board, without any fragile joints that could be disassembled.

Judging from the hunger in their stomachs, they must have been locked up all night.

The medicine injected into their bodies still has residual medicinal properties, making him listless and drowsy.

Switch asked a bunch of questions. Eden didn't know if there was monitoring, so he could only answer the fact that he was more certain.

Escape... You have to wait for the time to escape.At least until the effect wears off.Wait for him to figure out the environment.Until then, they'd better stay sober.

"Usually, I always feel noisy at school, but it's only been so long now, and I actually start to miss the feeling of being surrounded."

Eden rubbed his neck, pretending to be relaxed and half-joking.

Switch laughed cooperatively.

The performance of the male was much better than Eden expected.

There was no yelling that was useless except to drain his energy, and no spiteful cursing at himself for bringing him into this situation.

The combination of silence and darkness drives the bug crazy.

So Eden asked his own question.Switch answered vaguely and hesitantly.

"... Don't laugh...every time I see the news about males being hurt, attacked and kidnapped... I feel very involved... I can't sleep well every night..."

"It turned out to be my turn, but I didn't feel much..."

As the capital star of the empire, Red Hart's law and order can be regarded as first-class in all star regions.Kidnapping, robbery and injury incidents in public generally do not occur.

But one class does not mean that the crime rate is 0%.

No matter how low this number is, if you push it backwards, it will be a crime that actually happened one after another.It is to be imprinted on the victim for a lifetime.

The gender ratio has expanded year after year, and various contradictions have become more acute.As born weak males and nobles, they live in ivory towers, but that doesn't mean they are ignorant of the dangers of the outside world.

Eden understands Switch's "substitution".It's not overly "empathetic".

Because they and those missing, injured, and trafficked males are born as one.

It would be too heavy to continue talking like this.Eden shook Switch's hand, soothing the trembling of the other party, and brought the topic to a more relaxed campus life.

They shared the difficulties of occupying seats in libraries and lounges.During the review, I drank three cups of coffee in a row and got dizzy with a rapid heartbeat.Guessing the key points of the entrance exam, exchanging hearsay gossip and interesting stories from several universities.

"Eden, besides weapons engineering, did you apply for other majors?" Switch asked.

"Brother Shahili said he saw you at Puloki University."

"Eh, is it?"

Eden was surprised.

He wondered that Gibson didn't greet him when he saw him.But Switch couldn't answer this question, so he suppressed the question in his heart and turned his attention back to the present.

"...um, and some psychology related...".

"Ploki's professor and Hermiton's department head have both looked for me... If I go, it shouldn't be a big problem."

It is common for graduates to apply to multiple majors.Considering that there are very few universities offering weapons engineering, Eden should actually apply for a few more.

The Switch is also of this view.He even took out Gibson to persuade Eden.

"Brother Shaheli has the same opinion as me." Switch said seriously.

"Ah...Eden, don't get me wrong...Of course Dawkins, you can definitely go...but...uh...I mean, I read the course schedule and some introductions of weapons engineering..."

"However... I think it's easier for me to imagine the scene of you sitting in the consulting room listening to other bugs talking about their troubles than you debugging some new weapons on the spot during military exercises..."

"Or an exhibition! New book signings! Or some non-profit organization endorsement bug..."

"Haha, I suck at drawing." Eden was amused.

"Huh—? I don't believe it."

"Really. You can't even draw a round egg."

"But eggs are not round, are they?"

"...uh..." Eden gave an example again, "painting bugs only know match bugs."

"Abstract art is like that."

"I don't like writing either. Except for reports."

"...financial journalists are pretty cool too."

"..."

Uh, Switch, what a filter do you have on me?

"...I always find it weird to associate you, Eden, with the word 'hurt'."

Xu Shi noticed his friend's speechlessness, and Switch urgently patched it.

"Maybe it's because you're always helping other bugs rather than harming them."

Eden laughed silently.

"Higgins will certainly not agree with you."

"That's what he asked for!" The male insect gritted his teeth.

Eden laughed lowly.

***

Trying to stay awake as much as possible.For several hours, Eden still fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, his field of vision was no longer pitch black, but dazzling white.

Eden shaded the light with his arm, allowing his pupils to adjust slowly.

The environment of this room is no different from what he guessed.It is also true that a mental power shield is installed.He saw suspicious wires and electronic components in the high ceiling.

He called Switch several times, but there was no response.

Fear ran down his spine.Eden swallowed, and quickly looked up.

Switch was gone.

There was an extra plastic tray in the room.It was piled with mushy pale green food and a short plastic spoon.A small bottle of water sits nearby.Then there is a small iron bucket.

After realizing the purpose of the iron bucket appearing here, a feeling of anger welled up in Eden's cheeks.

Some insects took Switch away while he was asleep, and put down this thing.If his deduction is correct.He will never have the opportunity to face each other in the future.

He sleeps for unusually long periods of time.

It is likely that the ventilator here sends out hypnotic and sedative gases.Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain his abnormal weakness.

Eden picked up the spoon and dinner plate, swallowed the paste without looking at it.

After eating, he rested against the wall for a while, put his knees against his chest, and tried to stimulate his mental strength again while accumulating his body temperature.

Or not……

Several times of tough urging in succession, nothing was exchanged except a headache.Eden frowned, he had to think of a way...

The family members must be very anxious now... They must be mobilizing all resources to find themselves.All he has to do is keep calm, conserve energy, and wait patiently while looking for opportunities.

Since the kidnapper didn't kill him.That's all easy to say.One possibility is that the group wants stars.

If so, great.Because it means the easiest and fastest solution.

Another possibility is that the other party still asks for money, but may torture and beat him.Taking Switch away is to make them lose their minds so that they can increase the price.

The last possibility is... seeking revenge or...

Eden clenched his fists.

He thought of the face that flashed across the window in the darkness.

'Loost...my...'

'Loost...my...'

The lights snapped off, and the darkness enveloped him again.

Eden felt his heart plummet into the cold bottom of the lake.

***

He didn't know how long he had been here.

It seems like it has been many, many days.But the water at his feet was not finished.

So it's likely the day hasn't passed yet?

Then why does it feel like a century is so long to him?

Eden lost all feeling in his extremities.His head was groggy and hurting so badly that he sometimes forgot it was still torturing his poor brain.

He doesn't want to move.He just wants to sleep.

But he can't sleep...can't sleep...

When the thoughts began to blur, a melodious music suddenly sounded from a corner of the ceiling.

This is a classical piano piece.Soothing, light, joyful, contented.Eden recalled its name.

His male father, Sean, likes this song very much. Sometimes he plays it when drinking afternoon tea, and occasionally plays it on the piano.

A burst of joy came to Eden's heart.At this moment, this is not a piece of music for him, but an important external stimulus to remind him that his self still exists.

"Hey, do you guys miss me?"

"Good news, we have a new member joining this big family. Please applaud and welcome."

A machine-altered voice came out of the speaker, followed by a few crisp applause.

--It's him!

Eden's pupils tightened instantly!

That pervert!That pervert who once called him!

"To celebrate this happy event, there will be an extra performance today. Are you looking forward to it, are you excited? Oh, oh, I can hear your quickening breathing. It seems that everyone is as excited as I am."

Something is being dragged near the microphone.

Crash.It was the sound of chains shaking.

Stab.It was the sound of tape being ripped.

bang bang.It was the dull sound of kicking heavy objects.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

It's the male that is crying.

"Obedient children will be rewarded."

"Disobedient children will be punished." The voice raised its pitch.

"Please..." the male begged.

"Give me one more... give me one more... one more chance—"

The male's high-pitched scream is full of fear.

Eden paled.

He knew immediately what was happening on the other end of the speaker.

The sound of the long whip breaking the air was sharp and piercing, scratching his fragile eardrum.

Eden clenched his fists subconsciously.

Some similar images swirled in his mind, making his blood throbbing and wanting to scream.

The conversation stopped.Only the intermittent mournful wailing of the male insect remained.

Eden's fists creaked.He stared down at his toes, his facial muscles twitched, and his pupils continued to dilate.

***

--don't want!

— Please stop! !

--stop! ! !

A weak voice with a crying voice emerged beside his ears through the white, damp and cold mist.

Eden stared at the dusty floor in front of him.His fingers tapped on it nervously, the skin of his fingertips was worn out, and there were little bloodstains overflowing.

The voice was monotonous and hollow, the only thing he could hear besides his own breathing.

In the lost time, he had to do something to keep his brain from going crazy.

Although it already has some signs of madness...

Eden pursed his numb lips.The stretching of the muscle caused a throbbing pain.His gaze followed his fingers to the plastic lunch box next to him.

He sent it after he fell asleep again.Are these worms who kidnapped him so afraid of meeting him face to face?

For so long in the past, he has never seen a living thing that can scream or move.

The smell of excrement mixed with the musty smell in the room and the smell of food wafted in the air.

Eden wanted to pull up the blanket to block out the bad smell, but he didn't want to move at all.

He is too tired.

"It's time for the little heroes' favorite show again."

The speaker that had been silent for a long time started working again.

"This time it's a cutie with a round face and round brown eyes. He's about twenty, looks like he's only fifteen or sixteen."

"Sentimental. Too young."

"Innocent and pure, immature and weak. I can't even moan|moan."

"But it's fun to teach from scratch...it's my favorite."

"Ah, I accidentally said a bit too much, everyone must be waiting. Come on. Let's start now."

"You...why do you...do, do this kind of thing..."

Eden opened his eyes wide and sat up from the ground.

——S, Switch!

"Shh, too many questions, you're not a good boy. Come on, come on, do what you have to do."

"No. I won't... won't do these..."

Switch's voice sounded calmer.However, the high-quality communication equipment also recorded the sound of his chattering teeth.

"Come here! Don't make me repeat it a second time!"

The worm drank coldly, and the outburst of intense anger and the ruthlessness contained in it penetrated the machine, which made Eden instinctively cringe.

"Hey!"

"Hey!!"

A force surged in Iden's body.Eden walked to the corner where the sound came from, puffed out his chest, and shouted there.

"I know you're listening!"

"Leave Switch!"

"I'll take his place!"

"........."

There was silence from the speakers.Only Switch's restless breathing.

"Oh, unexpectedly, we have a little hero who wants to take the initiative to participate in the performance."

"Although it is against the rules...but he is very cute, the cutest of all heroes. There is no way, since it is his request, I can only agree."

The author has something to say: complete!
