Battle on the Insect Planet (11): Fall

However, in a highly hierarchical army, challenging superior officers is a very bad behavior. No one dared to try it easily and could only endure it forcefully.

Antonio’s expression became even more proud, and he even reached out and casually pushed the soldier in front of him away, admiring with satisfaction the suppressed anger on the young soldier’s face.

Xia Ruize raised his hand to support a soldier who took two steps back and retreated to his side. Then he took a step forward and reached out to grab the wrist of Antonio’s hand that was trying to push him.

Xia Ruize had a very keen sense of emotions. He knew that Antonio was not using the provocation method to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, but purely for the fun of teasing his subordinates.

Now he turned the target of teasing to Xia Ruize. How could Xia Ruize let him get what he wanted?

Antonio’s wrist was stuck, and the proud expression on his face disappeared, and soon turned into anger. He tried hard to free his wrist, but found that it was held motionless by Xia Ruize.

The soldiers in the squad silently watched the contest between the front and rear captains, looking at Xia Ruize with expectation and encouragement in their eyes.

Seeing Antonio being defeated by Xia Ruize, the soldiers became excited, as if they had taught Antonio a lesson.

Antonio realized that Xia Ruize dared to openly refute his face and embarrassed him in front of his men. In anger, he stretched out his legs and kicked Xia Ruize hard.

Xia Ruize turned sideways to avoid Antonio’s attack, and at the same time extended his leg to kick Antonio’s calf, directly kicking the tall and strong Antonio forward and to the ground.

The huge force caused Antonio to hug his calf in pain immediately after falling instead of fighting back.

Another special soldier who had been silent behind Antonio realized that something was wrong and wanted to step forward to help. Cheng Huaiqian took two steps in front of the opponent and put his hand on the opponent’s shoulder. It seemed to be a gentle pressure, but in fact the nearly two-meter-tall special soldier was forced down by this hand, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not move.

“You, what do you want to do? Do you want to disobey orders?”

The pain was so painful that his mind went blank. Antonio, who finally recovered from the pain, reprimanded loudly in a panic. The current situation was completely out of his control and imagination.

As a member of the special forces, it was not that Antonio had never cooperated with ordinary soldiers. When had he not suppressed those weak soldiers with his identity and strength?

Even if there was occasional sporadic resistance, it was more fun to suppress it. This was the first time that Antonio had been taught a lesson by a weak soldier in his eyes. The current situation made Antonio very uncomfortable.

“What do we want to do? Time is precious, so it’s better to use it to rest.”

Xia Ruize’s tone was calm, not a suggestion, but a statement. After speaking, he glanced condescendingly at Antonio, turned around and walked towards the rest area.

Cheng Huaiqian lifted up the special soldier who was pressed down and was forced to look up at him. He followed Xia Ruize and left the team with ease. Gao Hexuan, who had been watching the two bosses show off their power the whole time, quickly followed.

However, the other soldiers behind them just looked at their backs with envy, hesitated for a while, and no one dared to leave with them.

Xia Ruize, who had already walked far away, paused and thought for a moment, then shook his head and continued moving forward.

They were just passers-by in this world and were not bound by the rules of this world. They could not simply comment on the behavior of the indigenous people in the mission world as “right” or “wrong”. They simply ignored it and didn’t get too involved.

Antonio stared bitterly at the retreating figures of the three men. He didn’t know what he thought of, but a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Then he turned to look at the other soldiers who were still standing there, with a cruel smile on his lips.

The angry Antonio had a good “communication” with the remaining soldiers. The specific communication method was to fight in pairs in the name of testing, and then quickly taught the soldiers who were far inferior to him in the battle a lesson.

After some exchanges, Antonio took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

The soldiers who were beaten with bruises and swollen faces dared not speak out in anger, and were afraid of the tall and terrifying Antonio, so some people began to hate Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian for being too arrogant and causing them to suffer.

During the entire exchange process, the special forces soldiers who were assigned to other teams took it for granted and did not bother to pay attention. At most, they took the opportunity to teach their subordinates a lesson.

The chicken was killed in front of his eyes, and the other monkeys immediately stayed calm.

The command headquarters only gave the soldiers an hour to rest, and the assembly bell rang impatiently, and new tasks were issued.

Even if the soldiers complained in their hearts about the lack of rest time, it was useless, because the special forces soldiers who had just landed on the Erdogan planet could not wait to make achievements.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walked out of the rest area and walked towards the area where the Type 9 mechas were parked. They found that the original 30 Type 9 mechas had been expanded to hundreds. Even the size of the camp had been expanded again. It seemed that all the special forces were Type 9 mecha operators.

Antonio had already turned on the mecha, and finally saw Xia Ruize and the others. He immediately stepped towards Xia Ruize. The eighteen-meter-high mecha suddenly leaned over in front of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. He stretched out his big metal hand and made a grabbing gesture towards the two of them, trying to scare them.

Xia Ruize stared at the shadow above his head, his expression unchanged at all. Cheng Huaiqian’s eyes were cold and he even had a smile on his lips, which disappointed Antonio who was expecting to see a frightened expression.

“You must be obedient when you leave the camp.”

Antonio’s voice sounded outside the mecha through the loudspeaker, with a strong sense of threat.

Xia Ruize calmly took a step back and stood on the metal palm of his mecha. This palm carried the person to the cockpit. Then the mecha was activated and he also said:

“You little miscellaneous fish should just play in the mud by yourself.”

Antonio was immediately furious, but Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had already entered the mecha, and he couldn’t even scare them.

Antonio dared to “discuss and communicate” with the soldiers in person, but he did not dare to pilot a mecha to “communicate” with other mechas in the camp. He had to suppress his anger and prepare to teach these disobedient monkeys a lesson at the right opportunity.

The dispute between a few people also attracted the attention of others. Xia Ruize felt that the surroundings were filled with strong malice. He couldn’t help but frown and complained: “It’s really troublesome.”

Cheng Huaiqian’s smiling voice came from the channel, “It’s definitely not us who should really be in trouble.”

“Yes, yes, everything is under control.”

Gao Hexuan also quickly emphasized his sense of existence. In addition to being obsessed with mechas, he was also devoted to cracking the camp’s network.

Due to the gap in technological strength, the network here was a bit difficult for him, but it was just difficult. His blood talent had helped him find the correct rules, which had greatly improved his progress in cracking the network.

Xia Ruize, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help but smile.

This mission was still to go to the oasis. The metal plate road along the way showed signs of damage, and the metal plates had even disappeared in some areas. The soldiers controlled the mechas to complete and reinforce the road, followed the metal halfway, and finally reached the area of ​​black scorched earth.

The war that happened not long ago left craters everywhere and a mess.

Human soldiers were accustomed to ignoring the surrounding environment. As before, the soldiers controlling the Type 6 mecha cut and cleaned along the edge of the oasis, while the Type 9 soldiers controlled the vigilance.

The difference was that three pure Type 9 mecha teams composed of special soldiers went directly into the oasis without waiting for the oasis to be completely cleaned.

The trees in the oasis were unusually tall, and they soon covered up the traces of the Type 9 soldiers. Only the trees they chopped down from time to time to clear the way could vaguely reveal their positions.

Xia Ruize in the cab had a serious expression and alert eyes. Since arriving near the oasis, the feedback from the surrounding environment made him feel very bad.

He knew this meant there was danger lurking in the surrounding nature.

The question was where exactly was the danger? In what form?

After searching carefully to no avail, Xia Ruize reminded his soldiers:

“Everyone, please be careful.”

As soon as these words came out, many people’s expressions suddenly changed.

The old team members had seen Xia Ruize’s keen intuition many times. When the familiar people heard his words, they immediately raised their vigilance to the highest level, and Antonio laughed unceremoniously:

“Is the baby scared now? If you are scared, just go home quickly and get under your mother’s skirt, hahahaha…”

Antonio’s laughter was very rampant until he noticed that the entire team’s internal channel was silent except for his laughter, and the other soldiers were obviously cautious in their movements.

This made Antonio very unhappy, thinking that this phenomenon meant that the soldiers were closer to Xia Ruize than him. This was a contempt for his strength and a challenge to his authority, so Antonio said viciously in the internal channel:

“How can you not cheer for such a funny joke? Laugh! ¡Laugh for me!”

As a result, Xia Ruize was heard to warn again in the next second: “Watch your step!”

But the warning was too late. The black scorched earth beneath everyone’s feet suddenly sank in a large area, and the Type 9 and Type 6 mechas on the ground suddenly collapsed.

After the ground collapsed, Xia Ruize realized what had happened. The entire underground part of the black scorched earth had actually been hollowed out by insects. Only the layer of surface closest to the air was left intact, forming a huge trap waiting for humans to step into it.

When human soldiers came to clear the oasis in the scorched earth area, a large number of earthy-colored insects frantically dug upwards from the underground hollows.

And when their figures entered Xia Ruize’s exploration, the weak ground could no longer support the heavy Type 9 mecha.

The most terrifying thing was that it was not a small pit under human beings, but a bottomless pit.

Almost at the same time as it sank, Xia Ruize was already controlling the huge wings stretched out from the back of the mecha. The Type 9 mecha did not obtain the ability to fly by the vibration of the wings, but by the huge driving force generated by the burning flames at the lower ends of the wings. The mecha pushed upwards.

Unfortunately, his action was too late. The insect swarm used thousands of insects to dig through the last layer of the ground at the same time. When the ground was dug through, the first ones to fall were actually the burrowing insects. Next came the heaviest type 9 mecha, then the unsuspecting type 6 mecha at work, and at the top there were countless insects stacked and pressed down.
