Volume 1: Chapter 38 Broken Teeth, Go, Go Bite Them!
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:26:23 +0000 UTC"Alina, where did you go?"
Talulah asked her friends first.
I didn’t see each other and the little child outside just now.
She still felt a little strange.
"I just took Zerg for a walk around the area."
Alina's eyes were a little erratic.
Well, a visit to the firewood room counts as a visit.
“…”
Kiana Kaslana looked at the girl with antlers suspiciously.
She always felt that the other party was not telling the truth.
There's just no evidence.
But, it should be just wishful thinking, right?
After all, there have been several misunderstandings before.
I must have misunderstood this time.
The white-haired ball tried hard to ignore the doubts in her heart.
Kiana, Kiana, you have to learn to trust others.
Not everyone is as perverted as her inner demon.
The blush on the other person's face should be caused by the cold.
Kiana wrapped her coat tightly around her and thought.
"Talulah... I won't be infected with Originium disease by touching the Originium crystals on my body, right?"
At this moment, the Elafia girl thought of a crucial question.
Before, she was powerless to resist Zerg, so he licked the Originium crystal on her wrist.
Alina felt completely limp at that moment and couldn't remember anything.
It was only when the little child looked thoughtful that she reacted.
So he hurriedly took Zerg's hand and wanted to find her friend to answer her questions.
after all--
It is obvious that Talulah is a person of extraordinary origin.
Alina saw it when they first met.
Whether it was the extraordinary uniform she wore, or her conversation and temperament, there was no doubt that it was not something a Ursus peasant family could afford.
Perhaps she is a noble lady living in a moving city.
As for why he ended up in the Ursus tundra——
Alina didn't know.
But based on her limited knowledge, it might be that the political struggle had failed.
"Not really, Alina."
Talulah shook her head.
The Originium crystals on the surface of the infected are all inert Originium, and normal contact will not cause infection.
"That would be great."
Alina put her worries aside.
At this moment, the little insect swarm master did not care about the worries of the girl beside him.
After experimenting, he has confirmed the basic properties of Originium.
It is an important high-energy resource that can go hand in hand with biomass.
If they can be collected, the development of the insect swarm can be accelerated greatly.
There is just one problem——
How to collect?
The little child glanced at the Elafia girl beside him.
Well…Alina is a good person to feed Zerg.
Zerg was conflicted.
The swarm's instinct for development takes precedence over everything else.
But--
Alina gave him food.
In the minds of young children whose values have not yet been formed, giving food means being a friend of the insect swarm's master - that is, a friend of the insect swarm.
Friends cannot be thrown directly into the hatchery.
"Wait, what is this mineral sickness you just mentioned?"
Kiana Kaslana noticed a word that didn't sound good.
"Ore sickness... is caused by infection with Originium."
Talulah knew that the white-haired dumpling was from another world, so it was normal that she didn't know about the mineral disease unique to this world.
"Ms. Kiana, it's better not to delve into this."
Alina shook her head slightly.
Fortunately, the cabin she lived in was not in the village, and she rarely came into contact with people in the village on weekdays, so there was no problem in talking about mineral sickness here.
If other Ursus heard this——
Exclusion and reporting are inevitable.
"Kiana, Alina is right."
Talulah stopped the white-haired girl who wanted to explore further.
This is a disease that only exists on Terra. If a person from another world is infected with oripathy,
This will be her responsibility.
Although there might be a way to cure oripathy in another world, Dragon Girl has not seen that world with her own eyes yet.
So she decided to keep Kiana away from the active Originium that might cause infection first.
"All right."
The white-haired ball's curiosity has been piqued.
She decided to ask Skadi later.
Even though Skadi always looks very cold, she is a good sister who worked with her to save Zerg!
And he never puts any touch on Zerg!
The woman named Raiden Mei is completely different from the woman named Bronya before!
As for a normal hug...
Kiana Kaslana could barely accept it.
After all, Zerg is so cute, isn't he?
"Come inside first, Alina."
Talulah felt the temperature outside and decided to go inside first to discuss what to do next.
in addition--
Why haven’t grandpa and grandma come back yet?
The dragon girl thought.
Logically speaking, the Ursus farmer couple who adopted her should have returned by this time.
"Talulah! Talulah!"
At this moment, some anxious shouts were heard from a distance.
"Here come the pickets!"
An old man with a wrinkled face ran over, panting.
Then not long after, an old woman also ran over.
“…”
Talulah couldn't help but tighten her grip on the door handle.
She took a deep breath to avoid crushing the fragile door handle.
The infected patrols are here.
Here come those greedy vultures.
"Grandpa and grandma, please come inside first."
The Dragon Girl said so.
"Talulah, who are they?"
At this time, the two old people noticed a few more people in the house.
"…My old friends, grandparents."
Talulah replied.
"So you are Talulah's friends. I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary Ursus farmer and I don't have anything to offer you."
The old man looked apologetic.
"It's okay. Your hot tea is also a great treat!"
Kiana Kaslana smiled.
She is not some young lady who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
Her wandering journey from Siberia was a hard one for her.
Now I have a small house to live in, a small stove for heating, and hot tea.
It’s already the paradise it was when I lived with my stinky dad.
"Alas, we still failed to entertain you well enough!"
The farmer shook his head.
The girl who answered him was undoubtedly also a child of a noble family.
Just like Talulah.
It's not just her approachable temperament, but also her appearance.
That fair skin is obviously not something that people who work regularly would have.
"Come in first, grandpa and grandma, and wait until those pickets leave."
Talulah narrowed her eyes slightly.
It seems like it’s been less than a week since those greedy vultures last came over?
And it happened again this time?
How many people in the village will be exploited?
How many more people’s surplus food for the winter will be stolen?
"call……"
Restraining the anger in her heart, Talulah knew that now was not the best time to take action.
"What's a picket?"
The little swarm master asked.
"Those are bad guys, Zerg, don't worry about them."
Alina sighed.
"There are still such cute children here."
The old woman noticed Zerg's presence.
"I'm sorry, but grandma's house doesn't have anything delicious to treat you."
There was a hint of regret on her face.
"Alina already gave Zerg something delicious!"
It's not just the hot tea, it also includes the Originium on its body surface.
Zerg replied.
"It turns out that this child Alina has already entertained you."
Grandma breathed a sigh of relief.
Alina is a child who makes people feel more at ease.
Compared to Talulah, she has a softer personality.
Back to the warm little house.
At this moment, the small room accommodated seven people, making it very crowded.
Skadi leaned against the wall, choosing not to sit down.
After all, she is not a delicate being.
There is no need to explain how powerful the Deep Sea Hunter is.
"Grandpa, those patrolmen are coming to our village again?"
Talulah frowned.
"Yeah, I don't know why."
The old man was worried.
"But this time it shouldn't involve us. There are no infected people in our village."
He paused for some reason.
"...Yes, there are no infected people."
The dragon girl's eyes flickered.
The fact that she and Alina were infected had always been kept secret.
My grandparents know about it, but they will never tell anyone.
Therefore, this time it should be that those greedy guys came to plunder for the second time.
"It sounds like those guys are the bad guys!"
Kiana Kaslana was somewhat indignant.
Looking at the worry on the old man's face, even she could see it.
"How about we go and beat them up so they don't dare come over here again?"
She suggested so.
For the People's Shield of Justice, this is how it works with bad guys.
"...Ms. Kiana, you can't do this." Alina sighed, "Their base is around the village. If you do this, they will definitely send more people over, and then more people in the village will suffer."
"So we're just going to do nothing?"
Kiana Kaslana gritted her teeth.
"Zerg can eat them all!"
There is no need to worry about the bad guys.
Zerg's eyes lit up.
"Ahem, Zerg, you can't do this."
The white-haired ball was choked immediately.
She said hurriedly.
Letting Zerg eat people... is like opening Pandora's box.
So he must never be allowed to do this!
"Well...then let Broken Tooth bite them?"
The tiny swarm leader held out a tiny purple creature from behind him.
"?"
Where did you get it from?
Kiana Kaslana was confused.
"?"
Was there anything behind Zerg before?
Talulah blinked.
"?"
Alina thought she must have seen it wrong.
“…”
When did Broken Tooth come here?
Skadi thought.
“Gah!”
The little purple creature was flapping its wings behind its back at a fairly fast speed, as if it was very excited.
"Broken Tooth said it wants to bite those bad guys!"
Zerg said so.
Kiana said that we can’t eat the bad guys, but Broken Tooth can bite them!
“…”
The owners of the cottage, two elderly Ursus people, felt that they were no longer able to keep up with the times.
Such a cute child, where did you get that... strange creature from?
"Okay, Zerg, let me handle this matter."
Talulah touched the little child's head.
Although this creature called Broken Tooth is strange, looking at its appearance——
How much more powerful can it be?
The dragon girl thought.
With such a small body, I’m afraid it doesn’t have much strength.
I'm afraid he can't even bite through a piece of wood.
Maybe it's a pet from another world?
By the way, I don’t seem to know Zerg’s origins yet.
I'll ask him later when I have time.
"Leave it to Talulah?"
Zerg tilted his head slightly.
A bad guy is a bad guy. A bad guy who wants to hurt his friends is an enemy of the swarm.
The way the Zerg treats its enemies is simple:
That is to devour it completely.
“…”
The deep-sea hunter sensed a change in the atmosphere.
Ishamara, who had been talking nonsense before—
This time she kept her mouth shut.
It's as if it's afraid of the appearance of some top predator.
“Boom boom boom!”
At this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door.
"Come out quickly if you are inside! The patrol team wants to ask you something!"
There was a strange voice outside.
There is no doubt that the visitor is a bad one.
His attitude was extremely bad and impatient.
"Gentlemen of the patrol team, I will now..."
The old Ursus wanted to open the door.
but--
“Boom!”
The door was kicked open mercilessly.
A biting cold wind rushed into the house.
A team in some kind of uniform appeared in sight.
That was the notorious infected patrol team in Ursus. If you were targeted by them, it would be impossible not to be skinned alive.
If it is an infected person——
Then the infected mine, where there is no chance of survival, is the only place to go.
"I received a report that there are infected people here. Everyone, come with me."
The leading patrol captain said as a matter of course.
"By the way, there is a suspicion that everything in the house is contaminated by Originium. We need to take everything back and purify it."
He glanced at the things in the room.
Mosquito legs are also meat.
"Hey, what gives you the right to say that?"
Hearing this matter-of-fact tone, Kiana Kaslana blushed immediately.
How can such completely unreasonable people still exist?
"You woman are double-clutching"
The patrol captain wanted to scold the other person, but when he saw a young and beautiful girl, his eyes lit up.
Then he said maliciously:
"I think you are an infected person. It is necessary to interrogate you separately."
"Come with me."
The girl sensed the naked malice in those words.
The sky-blue pupils were faintly showing signs of transforming into a golden cross.
How could such scum exist in the other world?
What kind of hell are Skadi and Talulah living in?
“Huh… That’s enough!”
Talulah could no longer contain her anger.
She is a fighter, a fighter against injustice.
The temperature in the house seemed to rise a few degrees.
"you……"
The infected patrol captain wanted to say something.
Then a small figure ran in front of him.
"It's the bad guys! Broken Tooth, go ahead and bite them!"
