Dressed as a male insect, but suffering

In fact, Luo Chengshuang and Bie Zai both went to the unfinished building to look for Wu Yang, but they both went there at the wrong time. They arrived here one after the other, but neither of them met Wu Yang.

Luo Chengshuang came here at the prompt of the system. He searched the entire unfinished building and left without finding the bug.

Bie Zai arrived a little later, but almost at the same time as Luo Chengshuang.

Because he and Wu Yang had lived here for a period of time, his goal was very clear: to find the room where Wu Yang had been living.

There were no bugs in the room, but Bie Zai had a good eye and saw the pool of blood on the floor.

The bloodstains extended in one direction, where there was a seat made of stone bricks. Bie Zai went over to check and found no dust on the bricks, which must have been cleaned by insects.

There was a messy mark on the ground next to it, probably because a bug had struggled violently on it.

Beizai was sure that Wu Yang had been here. Not only did he come here, but he also had an argument with other insects here.

This place is familiar to Wu Yang, so it is likely that Wu Yang brought other insects here.

Wu Yang has poor physical strength, so if he wants to subdue other insects, he either has to use threats or have a powerful weapon, such as a gun.

Following the bloodstain, there was a wall. Bie Zai walked over and found two bullet holes on it.

Although he had a clue, Bie Zai always felt uneasy.

Because Wei 7 is a second-class planet, the public security is relatively good. Therefore, even in slums like Guji Street, there are rarely any illegal activities.

There is only one underground business on Guji Street, which looks like an inconspicuous small shop.

Generally speaking, unless you have been exposed to this kind of business, you probably won’t be able to tell.

Bie Zai walked into the store with mixed feelings.

The boss still looked like he was suffering from kidney deficiency. He sat in front of the counter, browsing his computer out of boredom.

Bie Zai walked over and leaned against the counter, "Boss, can I borrow a light?"

The boss raised his eyelids and glanced at Bie Zai.

"Just borrowing?" asked the boss.

Bie Zai nodded.

"So do you want to write an IOU or give a guarantee?"

"I guarantee it, but I want to see how it goes first."

The boss nodded and said, "Come with me."

Borrowing fire is a slang term that originated from homeless people.

Most of the black bugs gather on planets of magnitude 4 or 5. The worse the living environment of a planet, the farther it is from the sun in the galaxy, so the temperature there will be lower.

Especially on planets of magnitude 4 or 5, it is even worse during the polar night. Many black insects freeze to death on the streets in such an environment.

Therefore, most black house bugs choose to gather together to keep warm.

Some black house insects have a material called "fire source" on their bodies that can continuously release heat to help the insects resist the cold.

As long as there is a fire source on one insect's body, other black insects will automatically gather around and rub against the heat of the fire source.

However, the insect with the fire source is not a philanthropist. If other insects want to take advantage of his fire, they have to pay a corresponding price.

As we all know, most black household insects are poor and have no resources.

But the bugs with fire sources are smarter.

You don't have capital now? No problem. I can also let you use my 'fire source', but it is not a gift, but a loan. After you borrow my fire, you have to do things for me, and you have to do whatever I say.

This is the original "borrowing fire".

It is said that the black Zergs that gathered together because of this "borrowing fire" behavior formed the first underground gangs of the Zerg.

The slang term "borrowing fire" became popular.

Among the black household bugs, this is definitely a good story.

"Borrowing fire" initially represents the desire to "join the gang". If you want to join an underground gang, you can go to their boss to "borrow fire".

Later on, "borrowing fire" gradually came to mean "borrowing life".

Being able to get a fire source in the polar night is like saving a life, so borrowing fire also means borrowing life.

Nowadays, borrowing fire can also be used to describe borrowing the life of a certain insect, or borrowing a weapon that can kill an insect.

Just like Beizai is now.

What Bie Zai meant by "borrowing fire" is borrowing guns. The Zerg allow guns to circulate in the market, but do not allow guns to circulate among the black-household Zerg, so the guns in the hands of the black-household Zerg are very precious.

It is generally not sold, but it can be loaned out. This is what Bie Zai calls borrowing fire.

But lending a gun will lead to many accidents, such as the gun being lost, or the other party leaving evidence of the gun after killing the bug. At that time, the Public Security Bureau may trace the source of the gun and find the bug who "borrowed the gun", which means taking the blame for other bugs in vain.

Therefore, borrowing fire requires the firefly to provide a guarantee or an IOU.

Guarantee is easy to understand. Anything valuable enough for the boss to ignore the risk can be used as a guarantee.

The IOU is not a simple IOU. It needs to include all the information of no less than fifteen insects from relatives and friends, which is equivalent to mortgaging the lives of the insects.

Bie Zai had no relatives or friends, so he couldn't even invent a few relatives, so he chose to provide a guarantee directly.

Bie Zai's proposal to test the quality of the weapons means that he wants to give a guarantee based on the quality of the weapons.

The boss quickly brought Bie Zai into the warehouse, where the two ferocious-looking female insects were still sitting.

They also found it strange. Normally, they could only open a business once every year or two. So why are they placing a second order in less than a day?

Bie Zai saw the two female insects and asked the boss casually, "Are you the only two here? It doesn't look very safe."

The two female insects narrowed their eyes and stared at Bie Zai.

The boss's face also changed, "Ke Chong, what do you mean?"

Bie Zai smiled apologetically at the boss, then grabbed the boss's arm unexpectedly and twisted it slightly, dislocating the boss's shoulder.

The boss screamed, and the other two female insects reacted quickly and rushed over. Bie Zai pulled the boss in front of him, blocked the attack of one of the insects, and kicked it away with force.

The other insect raised its hand and attacked Bie Zai with a punch, but Bie Zai grabbed its forearm, pushed it down hard and raised its leg to push. After a snapping sound, the insect's arm broke.

The female insect that was kicked away took advantage of the opportunity when Bie Zai was dealing with the other female insect, hurriedly took out a gun, pointed the gun at Bie Zai and prepared to shoot.

After Bie Zai discovered this, he pushed the boss onto the female insect. The female insect was afraid that the gun would accidentally go off and injure the boss, so she raised her hands.

Bie Zai hid behind the boss and rushed forward in a few steps. He broke the female insect's forearm when she raised her hand, snatched the gun from her hand, and then turned the gun around and faced another female insect who was holding a knife and preparing to attack him.

The female insect saw the black muzzle of the gun and dared not move.

Bie Zai smiled sheepishly, "I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring money, please forgive me."

After saying this, Bie Zai put down his gun.

The boss and the two female insects stopped taking action, although they still looked a little unconvinced.

This is also an unspoken rule among black household bugs.

Because the Empire has no laws to protect the black bugs, the black bugs have their own set of rules, one of which is "strength comes first".

If a black insect has no resources, it can steal the resources from other black insects. As long as the competition between them is limited and no insect lives are harmed, the losing party must give up the resources in its hands for free and cannot seek revenge on other insects.

After the competition, only winning or losing matters, nothing else matters.

The boss and his men were obviously people who understood and followed the rules; they did not take the guns that the other men had put down, nor did they have any intention of taking action.

"What do you want?" asked the boss.

"I want to get some information." said Bie Zai.

The boss nodded and said, "Ask, I will only answer one question."

"What did the guest bug who came to your place to do business yesterday buy?"

Yesterday was the time that Bie Zai guessed. If the boss said that no bugs came yesterday, then Wu Yang should not have bought the gun here, so he had to find another place.

But if the boss had not refuted it at this time yesterday, then it would most likely be Wu Yang.

"The guest bug bought a gun, a shield blocker, an axe, and a pack of cigarettes."

Bie Zai frowned.

The gun is there and the timing is right.

What are the shield blockers, axes, and smoke used for?
