The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 227 Hug...

Ling Yi felt the softness in his palm, and tentatively moved his fingers slightly, rubbing the area under his eyes.

The soft cheeks felt wonderful to the touch, and apart from being a little cold due to lack of warmth, everything about them was so docile and harmless.

Ling Yi thought for a moment, then withdrew his hand, widening the distance between them.

Then, amidst the tense gazes behind him, he suddenly reached out and picked up the small body in front of him.

The toddler tilted his head quietly, his black pupils reflecting Ling Yi's face, which was completely different from the one in his memory.

Seeing that he still showed no sign of resistance, Ling Yi simply sat down on the ground and placed the small figure on his lap.

"What is Commander Ling doing?"

Liu Zhe's brows were furrowed so deeply they formed a deep frown.

Didn't you just say you were just getting close and testing the waters? Why does it feel like you're about to hug me?

"I don't know, but he probably has his own ideas. Let's wait and see..."

Chen Xuan couldn't answer his question either.

The larvae suddenly bring their faces close without any warning.

Chen Xuan almost raised the gun in his hand, causing Ling Yi to step back.

Chen Xuan simply wanted Ling Yi to test whether his approaching closer would elicit any aggressive or unusual reactions from them.

To everyone's surprise, Ling Yi's actions were even more reckless than his words, and he actually started hitting him directly.

No, now he's not just taking his hands up, he's ready to hug them.

In contrast to Chen Xuan and the others' doubts and wariness, Ling Yi appeared to be more relaxed at this moment.

Looking at the larva's harmless appearance, he thought for a moment, then grasped its small shoulder with one hand and moved the other upwards, tentatively reaching towards its thin neck.

However, even though Ling Yi's fingers had completely covered his neck, the larva's eyes did not change at all, still looking harmless and waiting.

With such a vulnerable position under his control, how come he hasn't shown any aggression or discomfort?

Ling Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to increase the force of his fingers, but he stopped abruptly after only a little force.

A look of surprise flashed in Ling Yi's eyes as he stared intently at the larva that was still quietly watching him. His initial cautious probing had turned into disbelief.

There was no pulse?

There was no trace of a heartbeat?

This larva isn't even alive?!

But he was clearly still moving, still looking at me, so why?

All his characteristics suggest that this is an inactive body.

Ling Yi was surprised and released the force he was about to apply. His gaze fell on the larva's bound chest, which was rising and falling...

He's breathing, so why isn't his heart beating?

Ling Yi released him and put him back among the three quiet larvae, then frowned and returned to the female larvae that had distanced itself from them.

He has something he needs to discuss with Chen Xuan and the others.

After a while, Chen Xuan reluctantly agreed, while Liu Zhe still looked on with disapproval.

Ling Yi returned to the four larvae and slowly untied the previous larva from its restraints.

As Ling Yi moved cautiously and warily, the restraints were slowly loosened.

Chen Xuan and Lin Simiao, with their guns raised, kept a close eye on everything that was happening there.

If anything goes wrong, they will open fire to cover Ling Yi's safe retreat.

To their surprise, the toddler showed no intention of attacking despite being freed from his restraints.

She simply moved her little hands and feet that had been released, raised her arms towards Ling Yi, and made a gesture as if she wanted a hug.

Ling Yi glanced at his nervous companions behind him, gave them a reassuring look, and then, following the child's wishes, reached out and carefully picked him up.

Although the toddler's hands are outstretched, it is a completely harmless posture.

But Ling Yi's hands remained defensively placed on his chest and neck, wary of a possible sudden attack.

When the child saw that he was being held in Ling Yi's arms, he first looked up and seemed to be pleased.

She then lowered her gaze and rested her head completely against Ling Yi's chest, adopting an intimate and dependent posture.

This scene, witnessed by Liu Zhe and Chen Xuan behind them, made it seem as if the larvae were mistaking Ling Yi for its parent.

For a moment, a strange and absurd feeling arose in their hearts.

what is happening?

Why is this little larva so close to Ling Yi?

Ling Yi, who was being leaned against by the larva in an almost dependent posture, did indeed stiffen his body somewhat.

He was well aware of the danger posed by the larva and had been testing it with a high degree of vigilance and caution.

But now, the larva's every move and reaction is completely outside of any of the possibilities he had envisioned.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but it could also have been just a minute, when the other three children, who were still bound, suddenly began to move.

As if they also wanted to be held by Ling Yi, they began to arch their small bodies and try to move closer to him.

Ling Yi looked up and met their eyes, only to find a faint longing and admiration in their gaze.

strangeness.

It's really strange...

Ling Yi looked down, closed her eyes in her arms, and gently held her larva in her small hands, making an even bolder decision in her heart.

Unsure if speaking loudly would cause any trouble, Ling Yi freed one hand to take the communicator out of his backpack.

After tapping it with one hand for a while, he threw it towards Chen Xuan and the others.

Throughout the process, the body moved quite a bit, but the larva in her arms only opened its eyes and looked around, without showing any unusual behavior.

Chen Xuan took two steps forward, picked up the communicator from the ground, turned it on, and saw the information on it. Her brows furrowed immediately.

The message Ling Yi typed was actually telling them to be on high alert and raise their defenses to the highest level, because he was going to untie all the larvae.

How is this possible? !

Solving one is already a risky attempt, and now you have to solve all four?

Can……

Chen Xuan looked up at the larva that had moved toward Ling Yi and was closing the distance between them.

It seems that now, apart from Ling Yi quickly binding and withdrawing the larva in his arms, there are no other options.

But if we withdraw again, wouldn't this probing end up with no result at all?

But if Ling Yi's thoughts and decisions were truly followed, given how close these larvae were to him...

If the problem is truly solved, things might not turn out badly.

Chen Xuan gripped the communicator tightly, stepped back to Lin Simiao's side, and relayed Ling Yi's instructions and decision.

Although Liu Zhe was shocked after hearing this, he had no choice but to agree after Chen Xuan's explanation and reassurance, and ordered all the female insects to be on high alert and ready to act.
