Chapter 315 Harvest
"This isn't a good time, that isn't a good time either. Are we going to wait until they're on the same social class as us before we act?"
Riva retorted angrily to Hilde, but don't think she didn't know that Hilde didn't take the Insect King's orders seriously at all, and only wanted to extract enough black crystals to complete the mission.
As for these low-level creatures, Hilde wouldn't even give them a second thought. Right now, he's probably only thinking about how to safely bring his brother's remaining half of his soul back. He doesn't care about anything else!
He could ignore it and not care, but Riva couldn't. Riva couldn't accept the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of Lu Yize and the others.
Hilder didn't react to Riva's words. He wasn't a bloodthirsty insect and had no interest in exterminating these low-level creatures. They had already seized the planet's resources, and there was no need to push these low-level creatures to the brink of extinction.
Otherwise, he would have taken action on the very first day he arrived on this planet.
“Riva, if you want to take action, I won’t stop you, but don’t forget what happened to Amos.”
Riva's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Admiral Hilde, I hope you do not forget His Majesty the Insect King's orders. We need to extract more resources from this planet and prevent its inhabitants from rebelling."
"We're here not just to find your brother's soul, but for the better future of the Zerg!"
Hilde felt a headache coming on. He had a lot on his plate lately, and the reason he wasn't in a hurry to take action against Lu Yize and his group was that compared to other things, it was really unnecessary to besiege such a small base.
He negotiated with the planet's three existing bases, extracting considerable resources from them in exchange for time to survive.
There's also the mining of black crystals, the nourishment of Dylan's half-soul, the improvement of this sky base, and the ongoing experiments—all of these things require his involvement.
Because he was too busy, Hilder also brought Noah along. He had originally planned to give Cecil and Riva training resources so that they could reach the eighth rank as soon as possible and share some of the burden with him.
However, given Riva's current temper, Hilde, as the eldest son of the Bailey family who has received the most preferential treatment in terms of resources since childhood, is naturally unhappy with Riva. He plans to put aside the resources he originally intended to give her.
"Riva, wait until you're taller than me before you order me around."
Hilde spoke calmly, but the overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from her powers made Riva instantly realize who she was talking to.
Riva was forced to lower her head, her teeth chattering, and she was forced to nod, unable to utter a single word.
After dealing with Riva, Hilde then turned her attention to the even more disheveled members of the Parasitic Flower Mother clan.
He had thought the younger generation of the Zerg were weak and complacent enough, but now they were far superior to his Parasitic Flower Mother clan.
“Go back and contact your king, and have him send a new leader. As for Amos… you don’t need to worry about him. If I can bring him back, I’ll bring them back with me.”
"Yes..." The Parasitic Flower Mother Clan, having lost its protection, had no dignity or backbone left.
They feared they would become utterly crippled, just like their kin who had been destroyed by Hilder.
They dared not speak out against their anger, intending to wait for their king to send a stronger force of his own kind before teaching the arrogant Sheldr a lesson.
Amos, who had been forgotten, was now just a useless soul, under house arrest in Lu Yize's supernatural space.
Looking at the exotic plants guarding them, he gradually began to harbor thoughts of sowing discord.
He looked at one of the strange plants whose main body resembled bamboo, and taking advantage of Lu Yize and Jiang Yue's absence from the space, he began to coax, "Are you a plant too?"
The plant glanced at him, turned its leaves away, too lazy to communicate with such a person, but Amos didn't understand his refusal; people like them had been in high positions for too long.
"I am also a plant, and my body is very large. Do you know how we get out? Where is this place?"
Amos didn't actually know where he was, but he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
His superpower level was far higher than Dylan's, as was his mental strength. He could clearly sense that the superpower content in this space was much higher than outside.
Moreover, time likely operates differently in this space than outside, and even the most ordinary plants planted in the ground grow far better than outside.
These are all fresh food, incredibly fresh food! I wonder what price they would fetch at an auction in the Federation!
The alien plant couldn't understand his rambling and shook its head, choosing to ignore this strange alien.
While Amos was trying to figure out where he was, Lu Yize was sitting in a chair, leisurely watching the others busy at the base.
Lu Yize felt that he was being a bit annoying because he was so idle, but after using his mental power to look around, he found that no one complained.
They even felt that he was injured while protecting the base and that it was only right for him to rest.
If Jiang Yue weren't so restless, they would probably have thoughtfully found a reason for her to slack off, such as her partner being injured and needing her care and companionship, so isn't it her duty not to work?!
Fortunately, Jiang Yue is now interested in everything, which prevents the people in the base from spoiling her unconditionally.
The base was busy harvesting. The food they had planted with their superpowers was now ripe. Amos had delayed them for a while, but it didn't matter.
Lu Yize wasn't interested in these tiring things and originally planned to go straight back to his room to lie down, but Jiang Yue valued food very much and chose to help with the harvest.
Lu Yize didn't want Jiang Yue to leave his sight, so he found a chair to lie on, ostensibly to supervise the work.
Despite this, many people in the base still felt sorry for him.
"The chief is such a good person! He's seriously injured but still has to work. He's so kind!"
"Thanks to the leader and the others, otherwise we would probably be dead by now. Other bases send the old and weak to their deaths, but our base actually protected us in our time of crisis. I will remember this for the rest of my life."
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Let's get to work. Our abilities are weak, so we can't be of much help on the battlefield, but at least we should play a role in peacetime."
Lu Yize's mental strength was very strong, covering the entire base, so he naturally heard what they were saying.
Lu Yize: ...
He said that the way these people looked at him gave him goosebumps.
