StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 162 Wild Preservatives

As the elevator suddenly stopped, several insects gradually woke up from their slumber.

"Looks like we need to practice our rock climbing skills more." Having experienced so many accidents, Shen Qingqing has also learned to find joy in hardship.

The four insects climbed up the not-so-smooth cave wall.

Fortunately, there were some haphazardly placed iron plates on the cave walls that hadn't been removed in time, which could still provide support for the body when stepping on them.

They slowly climbed upwards, little by little, until the light above them got closer and closer, and the wind grew stronger.

With safety ropes tied around their waists, they climbed up and down the cave wall in pairs, watching their step from time to time to avoid slipping and stepping on their partner's head.

Lia and Vi were tied together on a rope. Vi originally wanted to be tied to Andor on the same rope, but Andor said that for safety reasons, it would be better for them to be paired up.

Xiao Wei pouted, looking unhappy, before Lia grabbed her head and gave her a good beating.

The moment she climbed up, tears welled up in Shen Qingqing's eyes.

God knows what they went through while they were down there for so long.

He experienced slipping on the ground, almost being pulled down and smashed into a pulp by a broken steel plate, and also the situation where the rope around his waist was tangled and could not be untied.

In short, after overcoming numerous difficulties, they managed to crawl out of that narrow hole.

As soon as she came out, she collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move anymore. Leah had no energy left to think about anything else.

So, the matter of going to see Earl Selit will be put on hold for now, and we'll talk about it when she has time.

Shen Qingqing was the same, but she hadn't forgotten Ge Yuan and Saenster.

As for Andor... he is the Queen's assistant; wherever the Queen is, he is there.

Little Vi is Andorra's younger brother, and he is determined to follow his elder brother to the death.

Are you hungry?

Andorra asked considerately.

"I'm starving!" Lia covered Shen Qingqing's mouth with one hand while forcing a smile.

"I'm going to get some food. You two stay here and don't wander off."

With that, he left Xiao Wei alone, the insect, and departed from the abandoned warehouse.

Lia released her hand from Shen Qingqing's and instantly collapsed to the ground, losing all her strength.

"Lia, why did you cover my mouth just now?" Shen Qingqing found it strange.

"I'm just killing time, and I'm afraid you'll say something inappropriate." Leah's stomach was empty; all she could think about were the delicious foods she had eaten in the past.

Saliva involuntarily drooled from the corner of his mouth.

Then it was quickly erased.

"What did you see?" Leah asked, grabbing Vi's collar.

Seeing the fist about to land on his nose, Xiao Wei shook his head.

He saw nothing.

He didn't see Leah drooling.

"I don't know if the Queen Insect needs to eat, but I'm starving," Lia loosened her grip on Xiao Wei's collar and leaned closer to speak, "Qingqing..."

Such an intimate tone doesn't sound like a good thing.

"Want to drive a big truck?"

"??"

Finally, they ate their first meal on Wangxing as night fell.

Although Andor didn't control the heat well, causing some of the meat to burn, Lia and Shen Qingqing didn't mind and ate it heartily.

"But Andorra, where did you find the meat?" Shen Qingqing asked vaguely, her cheeks puffed out.

"Went hunting?"

Lia, holding a chicken leg, said, "But this chicken leg tastes so familiar. I think I've had this taste before on the spaceship."

"...Wait a minute, Andorra, why is this chicken leg spicy?"

Finally, after eating a Sichuan peppercorn-flavored braised dish, Shen Qingqing felt that the origin of this food needed further investigation.

In Wang Xing's wilderness... are there any trees that can grow Sichuan peppercorns and braised dishes?

Andor turned his face away uncomfortably, and then the next second...

"Aaaaa, Andorr, tell me where this came from! Or I'll eat you!"

Leah was holding a preservative in her hand, her face filled with murderous intent.

"Don't tell me the chicken legs you hunted in the wild had preservatives on them!"

Shen Qingqing: ⊙﹏⊙‖i°

Andorra: = (???*)

Oh no, I forgot to take out the preservatives and Sichuan peppercorns before bringing them.

Andorra took the preservative and threw it into the trash can in full view of everyone.

"Andorra, could this also be a wild trash can you found while hunting?" Shen Qingqing asked uncertainly.

Seeing Andor nod expressionlessly, Shen Qingqing felt as if the sky had fallen.

All the nine years of compulsory education she had received, as well as the knowledge she gained in high school and university, seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

For the first time, I hated myself for being literate; for the first time, I hated myself for being educated.

"Does that mean there are also wild tanks, wild houses, wild clothes, wild... pre-cooked food?"

Andorra nodded again in response to Shen Qingqing's question.

What can I say?

What else could she say?

After they had eaten, Andor showed them where he had hunted the food.

Shen Qingqing and Liya were stunned by the dazzling array of food on the shelves.

So, does Andorra consider the process of taking food off the shelf, removing the packaging, and bringing it back for them to eat to be hunting?

Lia took a deep breath, forcing herself not to punch Andor's calm and collected face until it was bruised and swollen.

"That's great, Xiao An. But next time before you go hunting, could you check if the prey has any preservatives on it before deciding whether to take it or not?"

“Okay,” Andor said after thinking for a moment, using what he considered to be the best wording, “I will definitely pay attention next time.”

Who told you to be careful next time?

Leah took a cup of instant noodles from the top, checked the production date, and said, "It's not expired. Qingqing, are you coming?"

"No."

"Fine, I don't want clear soup. Today I'm going to be extravagant and have braised dishes!"

In the warehouse filled with the aroma of braised beef noodles, the four insects began their late-night snack.

Xiao Wei was also drawn by the strange aroma and stared longingly at the instant noodle cup in Lia's hand.

"Want to eat?"

nod.

"Call daddy!"

"??"

"Alright, Lia, stop teasing him." Shen Qingqing also brewed a tub of water for him.

"Andorra said you can eat this and try it."

Xiao Wei imitated Lia by using a fork to pick up a piece of instant noodles and put it in her mouth. The next second, her eyes widened, and she sat there at a loss.

Shen Qingqing thought he had eaten the fork as well, and was about to pat his back and think about whether he should have surgery to remove it, but his next action stunned all the insects.

Xiao Wei immediately dropped the fork, picked up the instant noodle cup, and wolfed it down.

"So you like instant noodles."

Relieved, Shen Qingqing then handed Andorra a bucket, asking, "Do you want some?"

"Want a taste?"

Meeting Shen Qingqing's expectant gaze, Andor nodded hesitantly.

He can actually go a long time without eating and it won't hurt him, no need...

But being fed by the insect mother is so wonderful!

Seeing this, Leah gave her a disdainful look.

Pshaw, the giant baby of the Zerg.

So he pulled Xiao Wei, who was working hard to eat, over and fed him a big mouthful of instant noodles with a fork.

"Is it delicious?"

Xiao Wei swallowed the fork into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded.

"No, don't eat the fork too!"
