Chapter 10: Do Not Think of Me

If it were a year ago, just hearing about it might make one feel nauseous, but the environment can change anyone. You either starve or eat; there is not much choice. Although the shell of the insect is very hard, the inside is still organic matter. Eating it raw is definitely not an option; isn't that a nutritional supplement? Coupled with the plants from Norton Star, it can be considered a balanced diet. Whether it is toxic or has side effects is unknown, but in any case, Wang Dong is living quite well.

The spaceship slowly approached the corner, with a sound... the landing gear descended. Wang Dong rushed over, almost in tears, saying, "Thank God, you have finally arrived!"

The latent power of the insects is exceptionally strong, taking advantage of the military's focus, a large-scale cleansing is undoubtedly imminent. Consequently, the difficulty of developing Norton Star has increased, but humanity has long since adapted.

Perhaps, Wang Dong just wants to return home quickly

Wang Dong has gone mad, truly on the verge of insanity. For an entire year, it has been nothing but insects, just insects. He feels as though he is about to become a humanoid insect himself

Sweat... At that time, Wang Dong was overly excited and only knew that he was seeing humans, forgetting everything else.

Before Lios could finish speaking, Wang Dong had already rushed over to embrace him, "Thank you, thank you all, thank God, I thought I would have to spend my days on this planet of books with the bugs."

A small reconnaissance spacecraft flew by, my God, it is not an illusion, it is truly a human spacecraft

Being able to return home alive brings great joy to everyone, and the Federation has promised excellent conditions. It can be said that a fortunate life, having survived a great calamity, is about to arrive. The Federation also seems eager to promote this, implying how dedicated they are to saving every citizen. These matters do not interest Wang Dong.

The official smiled brightly and patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, praising him as a good citizen

"Are you Wang Dong?" A melodious female voice rang in Wang Dong's ear. In fact, any human voice would sound pleasant to Wang Dong at this moment, as he was on the verge of madness from listening to that crude tenor of the so-called Martial God all day long

"How did you survive? It's simply a miracle," Rios asked curiously

In recent days, Wang Dong has also been packing his belongings. It is not feasible to just sit and wait like this. The artillery fire in the sky is decreasing, indicating that either humanity is retreating or the insects are collapsing. Moreover, there have indeed been fewer sightings of insects lately. Perhaps it is time to take a risk and venture out. Staying here indefinitely, who knows when reinforcements will arrive.

The survivors were well-groomed and underwent a medical examination before being sent back to Earth. To silence them, the Federation met their reasonable demands, as this was crucial for the Federation's reputation and image. Although the Zago tribe arrived quietly, the tragic events cannot be entirely blamed on the insects; the Federation bears some responsibility as well. The compensation this time was a significant financial burden for the Federation. Fortunately, the war was won, and these survivors must not cause any further disturbances upon their return. Currently, the media's attention is focused on this victory, which is essential for the Federation's image. A small sacrifice in exchange for greater political benefits is clearly something politicians are willing to pursue.

The spaceship passed by... Wang Dong was so heartbroken that he almost fell, but soon the spaceship traced an arc and flew back, hovering above Wang Dong's head for a moment before slowly descending. The ups and downs of life are truly exhilarating

Good Citizen

Buzz ... ... buzz buzz ... ...

Sitting on the ruins, gazing at the sky, the clouds above transformed into a gigantic hamburger. Although not hungry, Wang Dong's saliva truly flowed down like a waterfall.

The girl chuckled, "I am Zhang Jing. It's only been a short while since we last met. Is it really so hard for you to remember me?"

Whoosh

Climbing to the targeted Wang Dong, he waved his tattered shirt, opened his throat, and shouted in a voice that was almost frenzied: "SOS... SOS..."

Wang Dong almost sprang up like a flash of lightning, quickly climbing up the flagpole he had erected, on which was his homemade simple national flag, hoping that someone would notice him

Haha, congratulations, congratulations. Although classmate Wang Dong often talks to himself, it truly feels great to converse with a normal person

Not only Wang Dong survived by chance, but the vast majority of people perished in this Zago tribe attack. Only a little less than one hundred individuals managed to survive, most of whom were armed or were armed warriors themselves, having made preparations and hiding well to stay alive. Someone like Wang Dong is truly rare; however, no one questioned it, and it was almost taken for granted that Wang Dong was also an armed warrior.

Time flies; it has been about a year. Wang Dong's skin has darkened a bit, and he has become sturdier. He no longer feels any unfamiliarity with Norton Star; this area is entirely his territory. Over the past year, he has developed a deep enmity with the Zago tribe, having killed various Zago, whose appearances are quite diverse. Wang Dong can hardly remember their names, at most distinguishing them as big bugs, small bugs, flower bugs, and flying bugs. In any case, they all end up dead. Another discovery is that these bugs are also edible.

Boom

If necessary, he would not mind dancing even in his underwear

Haha, I have hidden in the mine, and that door is surprisingly thick. During this time, I have been relying on the nutrient machine to get by. If you don't come soon, I am going to go crazy

The two soldiers were not very old; the male appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, while the female seemed even younger. However, it was difficult to judge due to their neatly fitted military uniforms. Their expressions showed surprise, partly because Wang Dong was indeed quite young, and also because they were astonished to find survivors here

The two exchanged faint smiles, seemingly able to sense the excitement. "Let’s hurry, the search and rescue operation is over, and the military is about to carry out a sweep."

The spaceship slowly ascended, and as he looked down at the ever-shrinking ruins below, Wang Dong felt a deep sense of emotion; he was finally going home

Their return journey is not on the shabby spaceship they came in; this time, the spacecraft is very stable and luxurious, featuring a cinema, a café, and billiards among other entertainment facilities. They also do not need to go to a sleep pod. The return trip is a journey, and beautiful flight attendants will serve them throughout, allowing them to enjoy a wealthy person's travel experience

Wang Dong's request was very simple; he wanted to attend school without paying tuition. The official who received him readily agreed, proving that young people are indeed easier to deal with. The official provided him with a letter of recommendation bearing the federal seal and promised that he could seek assistance from the municipal department in his city for any issues.

"Who are you?" Wang Dong gazed at the beautiful girl before him, feeling somewhat dazzled, unable to find the right words to describe her.

Zhang Jing, standing nearby, smiled slightly and said, "We have won; the Zago tribe has retreated. We are currently clearing out the remnants and rescuing survivors. You are the only survivor we have discovered in over ten days. Congratulations to you"

Hello, I am Lieutenant Rios, and this is Second Lieutenant Zhang Jing, assigned to ... ...

Not knowing how to leave Norton Star, there is still a sense of emptiness in my heart, after all, I lived there for a year, and it changed his life. Perhaps one day, he will return.

Outside the window, countless Zago surged from the ground, frantically howling at the spaceship, clearly harboring a deep-seated hatred for someone above. Classmate Wang Dong waved his hand and silently murmured, Farewell, insects, do not think of me.
