The male worm wants to be a variety show

The next day, Qiao Ruiqing and Arnold got up on time and set off.

As soon as they went out, they found that the atmosphere in the deserted star was not right today: there were fewer insects on the street than in the past, and most of them walked in a hurry.The few insects moving on the street were almost all rushing in the same direction.

Arnold frowned.He reached out his hand to stop a passing bug, and asked, "Hey, what's the matter today? Why don't you go there, you guys?"

The worm frowned even tighter than Arnold: "Some worms saw a bug-free airship parked in the square early in the morning, it came from the Empire. I guess the group of dog soldiers from the Empire will come to recruit us today, damn it .”

After letting go of the passer-by, Qiao Ruiqing and A Nuo both looked solemn.

"Fuck." Arnold cursed in a suppressed voice, "Go, go, Joe. At least go to Old Billy's airport. Let's take a gamble, maybe we can escape before the imperial soldiers arrive."

Qiao Ruiqing naturally had no objection.They quickened their pace and ran.

When they ran to the airport, the two worms saw a small dusty airship parked on the airport, which even looked a little crooked.

...It is really not modest at all to say that it is a "broken airship".But the current situation didn't take care of so much, Qiao Ruiqing followed Arnuo and rushed up into the cabin door.

The interior and exterior of this airship are highly unified, and they are quite consistent.There are still a lot of debris piled up inside, and it is almost impossible to find a place to set foot.Arno twisted his body and squeezed into the driver's seat with difficulty, and frantically pressed the button to start the airship.

The airship vibrated and hummed upward. "I hope it's reliable," Arno patted the joystick a little nervously, "I—I haven't driven an interstellar long-distance airship—"

Qiao Ruiqing was really worried about the safety of the boatload of bugs.

But in fact, this little broken airship is very flexible, maneuvering left and right in the sea of ​​stars; every time it seems to hit an obstacle, and finally avoid it again and again.

Arnold's combat talent is really shocking.Whether it's an airship or a simple mech, he can easily get started with it by himself.It wasn't the first time Qiao Ruiqing was shocked by him.

"Yo ho! Call me the parachutist Arnold!" Arnold laughed happily.

The airship made a sharp turn and passed a meteorite.

A Nuo yelled in excitement, but Qiao Ruiqing looked pale, silently looking for a handle to fix himself, and decided to stay away from the exciting games of female insects in the future.

However, before they flew far, the radio on the airship sounded a "sizzling" electric sound.Then, a hard voice came out:

“这里是帝国No.30九军团哈登上尉。请型号A21-1家用艇驾驶员立刻返航！重复一遍，请型号A21-1家用艇驾驶员立刻返航！你所在的星域已被封锁，请不要强行冲关！请不要强行冲关！”

"Fuck him." Arnold cursed, forcibly turned off the radio, and forcibly increased the speed of the airship by a gear.

The dilapidated airship began to tremble unbearably.

Qiao Ruiqing was standing next to the porthole, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several warships aggressively encircling him.He shouted with difficulty: "Arnold! They are catching up!"

Arnold's eyes were red, and he squeezed the joystick tightly.

The broadcast sounded again: "Return to the voyage immediately! Return to the voyage immediately! Otherwise, the empire will resort to force!"

This time, no matter how hard Arnold pressed the disconnect button, the broadcast could not be turned off.The voice of Captain Harden was played over and over again in the airship, making the hearts of the two worms beat crazily.

Suddenly, the airship jerked and was no longer under the pilot's control.

Arnold tried everything to no avail, he kicked over the chair and stood up.

"Don't be afraid, that is the capture line of the empire's ships, and our lives are not in danger at the moment." Arnold's chest heaved violently, and he strode up to Qiao Ruiqing and said, "...but this escape may be worse."

Before the words were finished, a small group of heavily armed soldiers broke into the door, and the two worms were tied tightly before they could resist.

Qiao Ruiqing was roughly lifted with his hands cut behind his back, and he stumbled and pushed onto the imperial airship.Soldiers passed by on the road, looking at them as if they were looking at garbage.

They were taken into a small room, poorly furnished like a makeshift cell.

Almost as soon as it hit the ground, Arnold rushed over. "Joe, are you all right?" he said despondently. "Damn .

He swallowed, his voice trembling a bit: "Even... even if you go to the barracks, I will protect you. I will definitely not let you be bullied by other insects."

Qiao Ruiqing patted A Nuo on the shoulder vigorously, but did not speak.Xin said that the real challenge she had to face was not in the barracks.

He found a corner to lean against, and couldn't help worrying.For a while, he was worried about whether this escape would implicate Arnold, and for a while, he wondered whether it would be better for him to directly reveal the identity of the male insect.

While thinking wildly, Qiao Ruiqing suddenly saw a blond head appearing from the window of the opposite room:

"Joe? Is that you?"

It turned out to be the intelligence dealer Rupert.

"Oh, you didn't run away." Rupert said with a sad face, "The empire's operation was brought forward this time, and the news was kept tight. Forget it, forget it, it's fate."

A Nuo raised his voice and asked, "Do you know where they are taking us now?"

"Where are we going? Of course we're going back to that garbage planet. We'll send all the worms to the camp. Don't worry, they'll humiliate us in public at most." Rupert replied nonchalantly.

Several escaped insects were caught one after another.Everyone chatted a few words, and it didn't take long for the airship to return to Garbage Star.

The door opened, and several soldiers walked in, escorting a group of worms to a high platform.

Only then did Qiao Ruiqing see clearly that there were a total of ten or so insects that had failed to escape—even one that disappeared the day before yesterday appeared here.

The high platform was built temporarily, facing the square; a large group of insects stood in the square, stretching their necks and looking up.At this time, a tall female insect wearing a formal military uniform walked up to the high platform, her face was stern, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, and she didn't look like an insect.The rabble on Garbage Star talked about his appearance.

"Wow, good guy, it's a captain." Rupert gasped and whispered.

Qiao Ruiqing and Arnold looked at each other, thinking that this might be Captain Harden who hunted them down.

Captain Harden straddled his hands behind his back, his face sullen and silent.A worm that looked like an adjutant acted as a microphone and shouted loudly, "Quiet!"

The Zergs below were overwhelmed by his aura, and gradually fell silent.

Satisfied with the silence in the audience, the captain finally opened his mouth, with a cold voice: "Adjutant Randy must have explained the matters related to this recruitment operation clearly to everyone. Fellow compatriots, I don't care about your past. No matter what Once you were rogues, gangsters, and wanted criminals, the Empire read you back home—as honorable military females."

His hawk-like eyes glanced around: "But I hope you can remember that citizens of the empire must look like citizens of the empire! From now on, throw away all your bad styles!"

Captain Harden turned his head abruptly, staring at the swaying Zerg on the stage: "The first thing you have to learn is to avoid shame!"

His adjutant answered tacitly: "As you can see, these fifteen worms are shameful scum who tried to avoid military service, and they have all been arrested now! They must pay the price for their cowardly actions!"

A Nuo moved nervously, trying to keep Qiao Ruiqing completely behind him.Instead, it attracted the attention of Mr. Adjutant.

"You! It's you! This sub-female hiding behind the other insects, come out for me!" the adjutant shouted.

There were not many Asian females on the barren star, and Qiao Ruiqing was the only one who was unlucky to be caught.Qiao Ruiqing felt hundreds of eyes gathered on him, and A Nuo's body beside him immediately stiffened like a stone.

"Don't be nervous, don't move around. It's okay." Qiao Ruiqing comforted Arnold in a low voice, then tidied up and walked forward.

Captain Harden looked Qiao Ruiqing up and down: "Name?"

"Qiao Ruiqing."

There was a small commotion from the audience.

It seemed that Captain Harden didn't really want to know Qiao Ruiqing's name.He nodded perfunctorily, turned to the audience and said, "Go get fifty army sticks first, as a warning to others. Remember later!"

The adjutant came over, grabbed Qiao Ruiqing's skirt, and shoved him hard.The push made him immediately lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Before Qiao Ruiqing could react, the females of Desolate Star exploded first.

Fifty army sticks can only be said to be difficult for Yafei, not fatal.Captain Harden did not expect that the penalty he thought would be appropriate would arouse such great emotions——

The females screamed and cursed, and spit out all kinds of creative and vulgar words; some even picked up rubbish, earth and rocks and threw them on the platform, trying to attack the officers.

"Bah! Fifty army sticks were used on the sub-female, are you crazy, sir? I only pick soft persimmons, I don't know who the shameless coward is!" Qiao Ruiqing, the female who yelled the loudest, still had the impression that she was a frequent visitor to the tavern. .

"Quiet! Quiet!" the adjutant shouted hoarsely, but this time no one listened to him.

The violence/chaos is even intensifying, and some unstable elements who are already ready to move take the opportunity to come out to have fun.

One of the "pile of cowards" who had failed to escape jumped up from the ground with a cheer, snatched Mr. Adjutant's military cap away, and played juggling with the female worms in the audience—it was actually quite vigorous.

The adjutant jumped up, clutching his head, jumping comically to grab his hat back, but tripped over an empty beer bottle that came out of nowhere and squatted.

There was a burst of whistles and laughter from the audience.

Qiao Ruiqing was dumbfounded.

A Nuo didn't participate in the violence/chaos, and immediately rushed over to help Qiao Ruiqing, holding his bruised arm so distressed that he almost shed tears.In the end, Qiao Ruiqing came back to comfort him dumbfounded.

In the chaos, A Nuo kept Qiao Ruiqing firmly behind him, and he didn't hurt him a little bit.

To be honest, Qiao Ruiqing didn't expect so many bugs to stand up for him.Maybe his surprise was too obvious, Rupert took the time to turn around and said beamingly: "Everyone loves you - this is not an exaggeration at all. Everyone on this broken planet thinks they are garbage, only you let us know ,we are not."

Qiao Ruiqing remembers every customer's name, and can listen to every customer's babbling; Qiao Ruiqing once gave odd jobs to change food for the little worms who couldn't get enough food, and once held the hand of the desperate female gnat tirelessly. Tell him over and over again that hope lasts forever.Qiao Ruiqing may have forgotten all the small details, but the females still remembered them.

— they called him "Mr. Dawn" privately.
