Model Male Zerg of the Zerg Clan

Chapter 15

Although the weekend was joyful, it would eventually pass.

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday, and Lu Xi and Xia Baiyuan had to get up early for class.

When Xia Baiyuan woke up in the morning, he was still not completely well, looking a bit groggy.

Lu Xi was worried, so he layered Xia Baiyuan with four sweaters and piled on coat after coat. Not satisfied with that, Lu Xi also wrapped him in a thick red scarf and topped it off with a knitted hat.

Only Xia Baiyuan’s two eyes were visible, with the skin around them turning red from the heat.

As they walked along the road, Lu Xi couldn’t help but glance at Xia Baiyuan from the corner of his eye.

… He had always thought Xia Baiyuan would take the aloof route, and he even prepared himself to persuade him earnestly. Like “Although it may look stupid, you really need to keep warm,” “Can image be eaten?” and other such remarks.

But to Lu Xi’s surprise, Xia Baiyuan adapted very well, even completely ignoring the strange smile on his face when passersby stared at the bunny pendant on his knitted hat.

He was a very rational and practical person. When Lu Xi asked him why he was wearing that hat, Xia Baiyuan didn’t hesitate to say:

“The shop couldn’t sell them, so they gave them all to me.”

Lu Xi: “…”

Lu Xi almost rolled on the ground at that moment.

It was still early, and the students on the road were all doing morning exercises. The military academy had certain requirements for physical fitness, so regular exercise was essential.

Lu Xi could hear their slightly hurried panting, so when he heard that sound, he didn’t react immediately.

It was a very heavy and painful panting, faintly accompanied by sobbing, sounding extremely painful.

If it weren’t so quiet here, Lu Xi wouldn’t even have noticed this suppressed sound. If he hadn’t been used to releasing his mental power to assist his senses, he might have left without knowing.

He paused and furrowed his brow, asking, “Did you… hear something?”

Xia Baiyuan looked at him without saying a word.

Lu Xi closed his eyes and carefully listened to the faint sound carried by the wind.

“Please… don’t…”

“Have mercy on me…”

Followed by the sound of a whip cracking through the air, eliciting muffled groans when it struck.

When Lu Xi finally realized what was happening, he was somewhat dazed, followed by extreme shock.

His crimson eyes trembled, as if he couldn’t believe it, and he stared at Xia Baiyuan in astonishment. “Th-this…”

Xia Baiyuan lowered his eyes.

He had actually heard it a long time ago. The moment he heard the sobbing, he knew what was happening.

He hadn’t expected these male zergs to escalate to this extent now. Although this was a temporarily abandoned teaching building, in a place like this…

He had planned to send Lu Xi away and then come back to handle it, but it was too late.

The next moment, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Lu Xi, and the black-haired zerg pulled him towards the teaching building, muttering curses under his breath as they ran, “In broad daylight!”

Xia Baiyuan was pulled a few steps by him and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Is it necessary to ask?

Without looking back, Lu Xi said, “Of course, to stop them!”

Xia Baiyuan grabbed him from behind, and Lu Xi, caught off guard, almost slipped on the spot. He waved his arms a few times before steadying himself. “What’s wrong?”

Xia Baiyuan looked at him helplessly. “Are you going like this?”

Lu Xi paused for three seconds, suddenly enlightened. “Indeed!”

He reached around his waist and took out his gun, making a cautious professional preparation posture.

Indeed worthy of Xia Baiyuan, truly meticulous!

Xia Baiyuan looked at Lu Xi, who was crouching, and sighed, taking off his scarf and putting it on Lu Xi. “At least be careful.”

Lu Xi stared blankly at him.

Xia Baiyuan reached out to zip up Lu Xi’s coat, pulling the high collar up to his nose, covering his face tightly.

Lu Xi was still staring at him, and Xia Baiyuan asked in confusion, “Is there anything else?”

Lu Xi quickly shook his head. “N-no, nothing.”

The scarf still carried Xia Baiyuan’s scent, a very ordinary soap fragrance, but upon closer sniffing, it seemed somewhat different, as if it had also picked up Xia Baiyuan’s own cold aura, very refreshing.

Lu Xi touched the scarf and followed Xia Baiyuan’s footsteps, the bunny pendant on his hat swaying along.

As they ran upstairs, the wailing became clearer and clearer, until they stopped on the fifth floor.

Lu Xi and Xia Baiyuan glanced at each other, then simultaneously lightened their steps, swiftly and silently moving along the wall.

Arriving at the window, Xia Baiyuan reached out and pushed open a small gap in the one-way opaque glass.

Two heads, one black and one white, leaned against the gap and looked inside.

…

The room was filled with the smell of blood.

A female zerg knelt on the podium—a bit cramped for a sturdy female zerg. He hung his head weakly, his limbs securely bound by black metal shackles.

He was still wearing his school uniform, but it had been torn to shreds by the whip, the broken strips of cloth mixed with blood, soaking into his wounds.

Beside him, a male zerg held a teaching whip, but it was obviously not a standard one, otherwise it would have broken long ago.

The silver whip was stained with blood, and he held it, speaking eloquently to the empty classroom, “Students, today we are going to punish this female zerg. Why?”

“Because he didn’t listen! Students who don’t listen must be punished, students must never follow his example!”

With each sentence he spoke, the female zerg trembled slightly.

Clearly, the mental torment was more unbearable for him than the physical pain.

Listening to those cold words, the female zerg felt as if he was back in his classroom, kneeling on the podium, with his classmates below, all dressed neatly, looking at his pitiful state.

No… no…

He couldn’t help but shrink back, but what followed was a fierce lash!

“Why are you dodging? Stand straight for me!”

The smell of blood in the air thickened, the female zerg gasping for air heavily. Despite his dignified and restrained appearance, signs of collapse had begun to appear.

The male zerg looked at him, a hint of malice suddenly crossing his face.

“Please, please.” The female zerg pleaded weakly, exhausted. “Don’t do it here, please.”

The male zerg looked at him steadily, then suddenly smiled. “Sure.”

“R-really?” There was a glimmer of hope in the female zerg’s eyes, thanking him gratefully. “Thank you, you’re so generous.”

“—Go, sit on the windowsill.”

The female zerg widened his eyes in disbelief, but in the male zerg’s eyes, there was unquestionable cruelty.

He shouted sharply, “What are you waiting for? Go!!”

The faint glimmer of hope in the female zerg’s eyes gradually extinguished.

He struggled to move down from the podium, step by step towards the high window.

It looked like the bright path leading to the embrace of the zerg God.

The female zerg climbed onto the window, the biting cold wind brushing against his cheeks, but carrying away the heavy scent of blood, making him feel much more comfortable.

He took a deep breath, finally glanced at the bright sun in the sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

For this unknown female zerg, life was supposed to end at this moment.

According to the original timeline, Xia Baiyuan would have been lying in the dormitory due to illness, missing everything that happened today.

And in this remote place, there wouldn’t have been many students passing by.

He would fall from here, like a wingless bird, landing in the abyss, blooming a beautiful blood flower.

He had no outstanding talent, nor any remarkable abilities worth mentioning, just an ordinary female zerg, with no impact on the future of the zerg race.

But by chance, his life took a small turn.

With a “whoosh,” the female zerg widened his eyes in astonishment. From behind him came the sound of the window being forcefully pushed open, and a tall and agile zerg flipped into the classroom, almost instantly pressing the male zerg to the ground: “Don’t move!!”

The female zerg turned his head, only to see the male zerg, who had just been domineering, now lying on the ground, his hands folded behind his back, a black-haired student kneeling on his spine with his knee, his voice extremely low: “Dare to move, and I’ll break your hands.”

No one would doubt what he said. It didn’t sound like a warning, but more like a self-imposed restriction.

– he had been wanting to do this for a long time.

The male zerg couldn’t even speak a word.

The female zerg watched the scene in front of him motionlessly, completely unaware of what was happening.

Why was the male zerg pinned to the ground?

Why would someone dare to do this?

Was he… was he insane?

“You come down first.” A slightly hoarse voice sounded, the female zerg looked around blankly and saw a person wrapped up tightly, extending a hand to him. “What are you doing there? You’ll catch a cold.”

The female zerg took his hand, and the black shackles rattled slightly.

“Tsk.”

The person turned his head and asked the one pinning the male zerg down, “Give me an iron wire.”

“Where do I get iron wire from!”

Lu Xi helplessly said, “Do you want a toothpick? I have toothpicks.”

“That’ll do.”

Xia Baiyuan took a toothpick, bowed his head and tinkered with the lock’s eye, not knowing what he did, and the heavy chain clicked open, falling to the ground.

Seeing the still confused female zerg, Xia Baiyuan’s lips pursed into a straight line.

If he guessed correctly, this female zerg had almost wanted to jump down just now.

Just a little bit more…

Lu Xi held the male zerg’s hand and lifted him up from the ground, using the iron chain to tie his hands behind the chair.

The male zerg looked at him maliciously, his voice hoarse: “Who are you? Do you know what you’ve done?”

“Oh?”

Lu Xi sneered, “Trying to scare me?”

The male zerg spread his legs apart, Lu Xi’s foot pressing on the edge of the chair between his legs, looking down at him from a high vantage point.

“In broad daylight, on the school grounds, someone is bullying…”

“If you want to ask who I am, I am the emissary of the mask, the embodiment of justice!”

“…”

“…”

Xia Baiyuan lowered his head and coughed violently.

Bullying on campus?

Lu Xi turned back alertly, “What’s wrong with you? Are you—”

He stopped halfway, closing his mouth. They were still Masked Messengers, they couldn’t reveal any information!

Xia Baiyuan waved his hand, “It’s nothing.”

What was that about? Lu Xi didn’t understand at all.

He looked at Lu Xi with a complicated expression, but in the end, he sighed and said to him, “Come here.”

Lu Xi: “Oh, okay.”

He had been worried that Lu Xi would be upset again after learning about the dark side, but now it seemed…

Lu Xi was still Lu Xi after all.

Perhaps he could try to make Lu Xi understand some truths to prevent him from acting recklessly next time.

Xia Baiyuan hooked his arm around Lu Xi’s neck, and the two whispered for a while. Lu Xi’s face grew darker and darker until Xia Baiyuan released his neck.

“Now, do you understand?” Xia Baiyuan asked.

“Understood, of course,” Lu Xi squinted his eyes, his gaze shifting from the injured female zerg to the male zerg.

His gaze was light, but for some reason, the male zerg suddenly shivered in unison, his neck covered with goosebumps.

It was as if standing in front of him was not a female zerg, but a monstrous creature beyond description…

“What… what are you going to do?”

Seeing Lu Xi approaching slowly, the male zerg leaned back, his back pressing tightly against the chair, his face turning pale. “I… I warn you, I am a male zerg! You can’t harm me!”

The tall zerg closed his eyes in front of him.

At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense, as if something was about to happen.

Then, the zerg slowly opened his eyes.

His crimson eyes were like gates to hell opening, with scorching lava pouring out from the cracks, silently devouring everything.

The male zerg saw a terrifying disaster that he had never seen in his life, nor had he ever imagined. This terror exceeded the limits of what a person could bear, yet he couldn’t resist it, piercing through his spirit and sanity directly.

His pupils dilated, his expression gradually becoming blank.

In the end, his head slowly drooped, his eyes staring blankly at the ground, no longer speaking or moving.

He had gone mad.

Lu Xi withdrew his psychic power. He was indeed unable to communicate with others through the mental sea, nor was he good at constructing.

But in return, his psychic power was more violent than that of other male zergs, capable of destroying others’ sanity in an instant.

Perhaps, this male zerg would no longer be able to harm others in the future.

Xia Baiyuan leaned against the window, tilting his head to look at Lu Xi.

The black-haired zerg had a handsome face, with cold lines on his profile. Just standing there was enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Lu Xi must have done something again, maybe it was his strange ability…

He couldn’t help but whisper, “You…”

Hearing his voice, Lu Xi turned his head, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Xi: OVO

Xia Baiyuan: “…”

No, forget it.

Just a stupid zerg.

Xia Baiyuan: “We’re going to be late.”

Lu Xi panicked and grabbed his bag, rushing out, “Then let’s hurry!”

He really couldn’t skip class anymore!!!
