Chapter 160: Capturing the Queen Bee
Understanding their language was a situation that these hundreds of wasps had never encountered before. It was unheard of, unseen, and more than just novel; it was alarming.
[Woman, what is your purpose for seeking us out?] As expected of the Wasp Queen, she was smarter than the other wasps, getting to the point straight away.
Tong Yao looked directly at the Wasp Queen, trying to ignore the wasps swarming on her plastic sheet. She responded in a high-pitched voice, "No specific purpose, I just want to cooperate with you. When I need it, you could send out some of your more daring wasps to help scare people."
[Just that?]The Wasp Queen fluttered her wings, asking from her superior position.
Tong Yao nodded emphatically, "Just that. If it’s really necessary, stinging people a bit is not a problem."
After pausing, she opened her eyes wide, "Are you willing to cooperate?"
[Why would we risk our entire hive to cooperate with you humans? We don’t interfere with each other. If humans don’t provoke us, we don’t provoke humans, allowing us to coexist.]
"Because, if you don’t cooperate with me, I will have your hive destroyed. I can always find your new home no matter where you move." Tong Yao ruthlessly threatened the Wasp Queen, "On the other hand, as long as you agree to support me and occasionally help me make a show of force without hurting passers-by, I promise that no one will come looking to destroy your hive. Someone wanted to come and destroy your hive yesterday, but I stopped them, and their stick is still left by the roadside."
