Model Male Zerg of the Zerg Clan - 44

Chapter 44

The whole scene erupted.

As if a pause button had been pressed, all the onlookers stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at Lu Xi.

A female zerg had actually kicked a male zerg into the air?

And even into the river?

For them, this image was undoubtedly a subversive shock, something even the boldest female zergs could not have dreamed of happening.

Only the cub, just pulled out of the water, who had been struggling in the arms of his female father, finally stuck his head out, curiously watching everything happening before him.

At this moment, he didn’t understand what he was seeing.

But long, long after, when he passed through infancy, adulthood, and even into his old age, even as memories faded and grew distant, this scene remained vivid in his mind.

His female father held him in the crowd.

All the zergs present gathered around the narrow riverbank, some dressed in luxury holding precious gifts; others in tattered clothes, with even the shoes on their feet worn through.

There was even an older female zerg, his face flushed with anger, as if he had just witnessed some absurd and obscene spectacle.

The old female zerg’s gaze was fixed on the only focus in the entire scene.

The black-haired zerg stood alone in place, reinserting his hands into his pockets. He turned his back to all the female zergs, his tall figure silhouetted against the light.

A gentle breeze blew, tousling his hair.

On the surface of the river, the damaged hole bubbled up for the last time. Yet, the real culprit, the instigator of it all, merely lowered his head, looking at the female zerg still lying on the ground, bleeding.

“I think… you probably need an ambulance?”

With this action, he finally broke the silence that had engulfed the scene. The crowd finally reacted, shedding their heavy coats and jumping into the icy river from the riverbank.

“Quick, save the male zerg!!”

—————-

Lu Xi always felt that at this moment, he should stylishly take out a cigarette from his pocket, light it up, preferably with a metallic lighter that could make a crisp clicking sound as it spun on his fingertips.

– If given the chance, he really wanted others to see the lighter given to him by the female father; the flame could reach three meters high!

Unfortunately, he didn’t have a lighter now.

He also didn’t smoke, because the female father was hypocritical; he could smoke, but others couldn’t.

Without the smoke to wrap up the finale, it was like a cowboy winning a duel but not blowing smoke from the barrel of his gun.

It lacked ceremony.

Lu Xi regretfully rubbed the snow under his toe, squatting down to look at the female zerg, not daring to move him. “Are you still conscious?”

Already severely injured, a slight movement might cause him to pass away, which would be a rather ridiculous way to die.

The female zerg struggled to breathe, finally lifting his eyes. “Quick, run away.”

Lu Xi was taken aback.

Struggling to hold on, the female zerg’s voice was weak. “You… you dare to lay hands on a male zerg, you’ll be sentenced to death. Quick, run away.”

Lu Xi frowned. “I just kicked him into the river, he’ll probably just catch a bad cold—at most, a bruise. I swear to the zerg God.”

Where was the death penalty that severe?

Hearing his earnest tone, the female zerg took a deep breath but accidentally choked on the blood spatter, coughing and rolling his eyes.

He reached out and grabbed Lu Xi’s clothes, his face extremely pale. “Do you… do you understand… how dare you…”

Lu Xi: 0-0

Female zerg: “…”

He looked despairingly at the golden-haired female zerg holding the cub, seeing him as Lu Xi’s companion since they had stood together just now. He pleaded, “Quick, take him away.”

“Escape, escape far away, leave this planet… leave this star system, go to a place where the zergs can’t chase you…”

“What… what should we do…” The golden-haired female zerg was frantic, at a loss, “I can find my male lord, tell him you saved our cub—he can help you get a fake ID, we need to hurry!”

He rushed over and single-handedly lifted Lu Xi, not very tall but as strong as any adult female zerg.

Lu Xi was dragged along, struggling hard. “I can’t run… I’m getting married…”

He had even reserved a planet! That planet was carefully chosen!

The golden-haired female zerg didn’t even look back. “Marriage my ass, you’re about to die!”

But it was too late; sharp whistles sounded in the distance, rapidly approaching this location.

With a long brake sound, a light green truck directly stopped in front of them, blocking their path. The door opened, and two female zergs in white uniforms jumped down, shouting loudly, “Where is the criminal?!”

The words “Male zerg Protection Association” were painted on the side of the truck.

“It’s them!!” The face of the golden-haired female zerg instantly darkened.

Just now, an elderly female zerg pushed through the crowd and walked over, trembling with anger. “I’ve never seen such arrogance, such despicable behavior!”

His voice trembled slightly with anger, pointing at Lu Xi. “Patrol Officer, don’t let him escape!”

“Come with us.”

The two street patrols glanced at the male zerg who had just been rescued and was still in shock, and directly took out handcuffs from their waists. “You’re finished.”

As the handcuffs were about to be clasped on, those wrists slightly retracted, avoiding the handcuffs.

The street patrols widened their eyes: !!!

Lu Xi stared back unyieldingly.

“Well, well, you dare to resist arrest!” The street patrols laughed angrily, “Originally, I could have given you a more merciful death penalty, but now your crime has escalated!”

They had encountered cases where female zergs harmed male zergs before, but it was usually when the female zergs were almost unconscious and resisting instinctively, causing injuries to the male zergs.

After waking up, a huge sense of guilt would pierce through these female zergs’ psychological defenses.

It was the first time they had seen a female zerg who deliberately harmed a male zerg without any guilt afterwards, even daring to resist.

Lu Xi withdrew his hand, trying to negotiate. “Patrol Officer, I really didn’t use much force. I’ll compensate for the medical expenses. There’s no need to arrest me.”

Lu Xi was worried, afraid of delaying his date.

So, impulse is the devil; people shouldn’t act recklessly for a moment of pleasure.

The muscles on the street patrol’s face twitched: “What kind of thing are you? Do you think this is a market?”

Without any hesitation, he lifted his foot and kicked towards Lu Xi’s abdomen.

He didn’t hold back at all; this kick, if it landed on a female zerg, would at least break one or two bones.

But—this kick missed again! It landed directly on the tree next to Lu Xi, and the tree made a long creaking sound as it fell.

Then there was the continuous sound of fiber breaking, and a tree as big as one person collapsed.

If this kick had landed on Lu Xi, he might have been killed on the spot.

Lu Xi’s face turned cold.

He didn’t have a particularly kind-looking face to begin with. Even though most of his face was covered by a mask, when his eyes narrowed, it brought an oppressive feeling with the flickering light and shadow.

Even the arrogant street patrol took a step back in fear: “What… what do you want to do…”

At this moment, the street patrol instinctively felt a hint of danger, which made him stiffen all over, his tongue tied, as if a prey facing its natural enemy.

But this shouldn’t be the case; the female zerg in front of him didn’t seem dangerous at all, and was even much weaker than an ordinary female zerg.

“That female zerg is about to die,” Lu Xi said coldly. “He needs treatment.”

Instead of causing trouble here for a male zerg who isn’t even seriously injured.

“Who cares if the female zerg lives or dies!” The street patrol cursed loudly. “He offended a male zerg; isn’t that his problem? Serves him right!”

A hint of shock flashed through Lu Xi’s eyes.

Looking at the dying female zerg on the ground, blood mixed with snow and mud made him look extremely dirty. Meanwhile, the male zerg in the distance was unscathed, surrounded by countless female zergs.

He had always known that this era was different from his own time, but he never had a clear understanding of it. Before, when he saved Xia Baiyuan on the starship, he thought the male zergs’ indifference was simply because they no longer had the obligation to save female zergs.

When he rescued a dying female zerg from the male zerg’s hands at school, he thought it was just an isolated case, a result of that male zerg’s twisted personality.

However, now, reality made him acutely aware of what kind of world this truly was.

…

“What are you wasting time with him for?!”

At this moment, the male zerg finally regained consciousness. The first thing he did was look for the zerg who kicked him into the water.

He immediately spotted Lu Xi and angrily pushed aside the female zergs surrounding him, walking towards Lu Xi. “Kill him—kill him!”

The street patrol quickly smiled at the male zerg. “Of course, of course. You stand back a bit, so that this extremely guilty female zerg won’t harm you.”

Completely ignoring the street patrol’s obstruction, the male zerg clenched the tactical knife tightly in his hand and walked straight towards Lu Xi. “You dare to hit me? Despicable zerg!”

He raised the knife without hesitation and stabbed towards Lu Xi’s face.

However, the black-haired zerg just slightly tilted his head, and the knife passed by his cheek without even scratching the skin. Instead, the male zerg’s wrist was grabbed, rendering him immobile.

The male zerg was almost driven mad with rage.

Lu Xi lowered his eyes and looked at him.

Those red eyes were like inorganic glass, emitting a cold light.

“I understand now.”

“If that’s the case, then you should apologize to me.”

“Say sorry.” Lu Xi’s voice carried a hint of amusement, but it was more like mockery. “Because you accidentally bumped into my foot, you offended me.”

“What—ahhhhh—”

Lu Xi exerted a slight force with his fingers, accompanied by the male zerg’s screams. He calmly said, “Aggravated offense. You accidentally touched my hand, and I am now very unhappy.”

He took off his mask, and the fresh cold air flowed into his chest. Lu Xi spoke slowly, “Want to know why?”

“Because you’ve always followed this rule.”

A faint sweetness permeated the air. In the moment they smelled it, all the zergs widened their eyes, and fanaticism gradually filled their eye sockets.

The golden-haired female zerg held his child, staring blankly at the black-haired, red-eyed male zerg.

“…Lu Xi?”
