The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 145 If it weren't for...

The door was carved with incomprehensible patterns and symbols. Qi Min looked at it carefully and could only barely make out one of the patterns, which resembled a flower biting itself.

As for the thing in the middle of the door, it looks remarkably like a... giant octopus?

No, that's not right either. It doesn't have an octopus's head; it looks more like a plant...

Filled with doubt, Qi Min and the man pushed open the stone door together.

To Qi Min's surprise, the stone door, though seemingly heavy, could be easily pushed open with just a little effort.

After the door opens, there is another passageway with smooth floor tiles laid flat on the ground.

Qi Min used his points to exchange for a flashlight. After the two went inside, they saw oil lamps neatly arranged on both sides.

After the man lit the oil lamp, he saw that above it were layers upon layers of memorial tablets, looking solemn, eerie, and quiet.

"What exactly is this place?"

Looking at this strange scene, the man couldn't help but ask a question.

Qi Min looked carefully, sorting through the information he knew before, and realized that this must be the village that had been hiding its secret all along.

"This... Ah! Boom..."

Just as Qi Min was about to answer, the ground began to tremble again.

Because of the injury to his leg, Qi Min was unsteady on his feet, so he quickly grabbed the wall to steady himself.

The man wanted to come over and help, but the constant shaking of the ground prevented him from getting close.

Some rocks above, however, fell down due to the tremors, scattering small fragments around the two of them.

Qi Min barely managed to lean against the wall as she approached the man. This trembling lasted only a moment before silence returned.

When the trembling stopped, the man quickly helped Qi Min up and tried to get her out, but Qi Min refused, saying they had just come from outside.

If they can't find a way out here, they might not be able to find one even if they go out again.

With his help, Qi Min looked around and found a room that looked like a secret chamber. With a bit of hope, he opened it.

Inside the room, besides some incomprehensible things, there was only a simple cabinet against the wall.

Qi Min was somewhat disappointed. Seeing the man stubbornly step forward to check, she had no intention of dissuading him.

Suddenly, a soft "click" sounded, and Qi Min looked up to see the man who had been checking also stopped what he was doing and looked at Qi Min.

A moment later, Qi Min and the man watched warily as the cabinet moved aside automatically, revealing the steps that gradually appeared behind it. They remained silent for a moment.

"I'll go in first, you follow me."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qi Min spoke resolutely. He was already injured, and it was uncertain whether the top of these steps was the exit. It would be safest for him to go up first.

"No, you're too slow, I'll go up first!"

Ignoring Qi Min's objections, the man stepped onto the steps first, making Qi Min follow behind him.

Qi Min watched him nimbly walk up, realizing that the man meant well. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, he could only sigh and follow.

Unexpectedly, this act of kindness led the man to save him before he died, urging him to escape quickly and find a way to get out alive...

Qi Min closed his eyes and sighed softly. He once thought that the man had died in his place.

He traded his own life for Qi Min's life...

If it weren't for saving him...

If it weren't for his leg injury...

If it weren't for...

"boom!"

"Lord Qi Min! Something is banging on the door..."

Liu Yan approached Qi Min in fear and whispered, staring at the thin door panel with a look of terror on his face.

Qi Min was annoyed by his approach and the sound, so he opened his eyes.

"It's okay, it can't break through, but it is indeed quite noisy..."

Qi Min got up impatiently, told Liu Yan not to go out, and then opened the door and went out himself.

Liu Yan watched Qi Min tell him not to go out, but then Qi Min himself walked out the door with a brisk pace, and for a moment he felt a strange sense of security.

"Oh no, I should have stopped him, it looks dangerous outside..."

When Liu Yan realized what was happening, he immediately regretted not having dissuaded Qi Min.

Just then, Qi Min, who had only gone out a short while ago, returned, and the outside world became quiet.

Ignoring Liu Yan's surprised and curious gaze, Qi Min closed the door, reused the card that still had an expiration date, and lay back down on the bed to rest.

“Qi…”

"Shut up, stop making noise, go to sleep."

Qi Min interrupted Liu Yan's question directly, stating in a straightforward tone that he did not want to be disturbed.

Hearing his brief words, Liu Yan didn't dare to ask any more questions out of curiosity. She could only shut up and continue to shrink next to him, trying to make herself safer.

However, looking at Qi Min resting peacefully, Liu Yan had a strange premonition that as long as he followed this male insect, he might be able to get out of here safely.

Lost in thought, Liu Yan leaned against the uneven wall and slowly fell asleep.

The morning sunlight shines through the thin mist, illuminating the tranquil village. The mist, like wisps of silk, dances in the morning sunlight, resembling a delicate ink painting.

The loud crowing of the rooster woke Liu Yan from his deep sleep. He opened his heavy eyelids and looked at the simple bed next to him. The male insect that had been lying on it was nowhere to be seen.

Liu Yan sat up in surprise and hurriedly went out to find Qi Min, but as soon as he opened the door, he was so shocked by the scene that he stopped in his tracks.

The floor outside the room was covered in blood and various severed limbs, even intestines and several heads, all neatly arranged in a line.

Liu Yan felt his stomach churning from the sight at the doorway.

"vomit……"

Liu Yan heard a vomiting sound and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw other female insects who had gone out with him and had seen the scene.

Seeing the male and female insects emerge one after another and begin to vomit, Liu Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer and started vomiting while leaning against the doorway.

Yesterday, Liu Yan and the other insects didn't eat much food, and of course, they didn't vomit much either; they only felt uncomfortable from stomach acid rising.

Remembering how quiet it was outside after Qi Min left last night because he found it noisy, it's obvious who did it.

Liu Yan calmed down a bit, tried to avoid the horrifying severed arm on the ground, and slowly moved out, holding onto a clean spot on the wall.

After finally getting out, they couldn't find Qi Min anywhere. Just as they were wondering what was going on, a timid voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Are you... are you looking for that male insect? I know which way he went!"

A pretty, tall female insect took the initiative to approach Liu Yan and strike up a conversation.

"You saw him? Where did he go?"

Liu Yan turned around and asked anxiously. Now that Qi Min was not around, he began to feel uneasy again.

"He's heading towards the area with the most rooms... wait... can you take me with you?"

The female insect called out to the male insect, who was about to leave after receiving the news, and looked at Liu Yan with a pleading look in her eyes.

Liu Yan looked at his appearance, then glanced at the quiet, deserted rural path, nodded to signal him to follow, and then ignored him.
