Battle on the Insect Planet (14): Instigating rebellion

The insects would rush up and eat them.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian immediately looked upward in front of the hall, where a huge, round insect fell from the sky and landed gracefully on the black, glowing platform in front of the hall.

The insect was round all over, like a silkworm pupa magnified hundreds of times, and its body was a warm white jade color. Only the two eyes in the front were like black jade, flashing with wisdom.

It floated down gracefully, and the two long and soft white tentacles above its eyes swayed slightly in the air. The restless insect swarm immediately calmed down. Every movement of it revealed an indescribable elegance and agility, which made Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian realize at the first moment that this was an intelligent creature equal to humans.

“Dear guests from afar, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I invite you to gather here because I, the insect race, have two questions:

The first thing I want to know is why you suddenly attacked my home planet?

The second is to know if there are any of you willing to help my insect race to find the answer to this question? “

An androgynous magnetic voice echoed in the underground hall. The gentle and slow tone left the nearly three hundred human soldiers gathered in the hall stunned and speechless.

“It…it can actually speak human language? And…it wants to turn us against us?”

Faintly one could hear some soldiers muttering in disbelief as their world views shattered. The reality was truly more magical than one could imagine.

“If I am willing to help you find the answers, can you guarantee the safety of me and my teammates?”

In the dead silence, Cheng Huaiqian sneaked out of the crowd, stood tall, stood at the front and asked loudly.

Facing the shocked and angry gazes of the other human soldiers behind him, Cheng Huaiqian complained loudly:

“I’ve long disliked those guys in the command center. What kind of rubbish missions do they issue?! What else can they do except hiding in a safe place and talking nonsense? I don’t want to do anything anymore! I really want to know why I came to this planet!”

Watching Cheng Huaiqian’s excellent performance, Xia Ruize quickly stretched out his hand to cover the lower half of his face and the corners of his mouth, but his crooked eyes also revealed a hint of a smile.

Xia Ruize could tell that his lover was complaining sincerely.

From the moment they landed on the planet Erdogan, every decision made by the human command caused them to suffer from running around and suffer heavy losses. The last time, they were sent into a trap prepared by the insects in advance, which directly led to the annihilation of the soldiers.

Cheng Huaiqian could no longer tolerate the stupid and rubbish command. When he saw an opportunity to change his position, he made a big leap.

In fact, Cheng Huaiqian’s powerful counterattack not only surprised all the human soldiers, but also seemed to be unexpected by the insects on the opposite side.

It seemed that it had not expected that it would be so easy to incite humans to betray their own race, so that the tentacles of the white jade insect stopped shaking for a moment, and then continued to shake gracefully, following Cheng Huaiqian’s rhythm and responding:

“Of course, as a brave soldier of my insect race, your safety will be guaranteed. However, do you have any specific plans?”

Cheng Huaiqian calmly spoke in front of the human soldiers and countless insects:

“I need to return to the human camp first, and then completely control the entire resource station from the inside. I can lure a few big shots down with the excuse that this planet is completely safe. Once we control those big shots, we will probably be able to figure out what’s going on behind the scenes, right?”

As soon as Cheng Huaiqian finished speaking, one of the human soldiers behind him shouted fiercely:

“You traitor! You damned traitor! You shall die!”

While scolding, the man had already rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards Cheng Huaiqian with clenched fists, looking like he was going to hit Cheng Huaiqian hard with two punches.

Cheng Huaiqian accurately grabbed the opponent’s wrist with his backhand, and with a slight force, he threw the person back into the crowd, just avoiding the sharp forelimbs of the insect that was ready to deal with the troublemaker.

Even so, the insects that had been watching quietly in the surrounding area quickly moved, weaving in and out among the humans and forcibly separating the human soldiers who had gathered together.

Now, everyone wiould be stared at closely by four or five insects around them, with their front limbs raised high and aimed at vulnerable humans, as if anyone who dared to refuse the white insects’ proposal would die on the spot.

At this time, the white insect said slowly:

“soldier, what you said makes sense. If you need anything, just let me know. We, the insect race, will definitely cooperate.” Then it turned to the other confused humans and asked, “I wonder if there are any other soldiers willing to help us, the insect race, find the answer?”

This time, in addition to Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan who took the initiative to walk to Cheng Huaiqian’s side, there was also a young man with brown hair and blue eyes who took the initiative to stand up and express his willingness to stand on the side of the insects and infiltrate the human race.

Xia Ruize looked at the man a few more times and recognized that this soldier came to the planet Erdogan on the same spaceship as him. When he first saw the mecha on the spaceship, the man’s expression was instantly shocked and unfamiliar. Xia Ruize, who was busy learning how to operate from others at the time, remembered him by the way and suspected that he was also a trialer.

However, this soldier failed to return to the camp during the first exploration mission after landing on the planet. Xia Ruize thought he had died and paid no more attention to him. Now it seemed that he might have been held captive by the insect swarm at that time.

After receiving Xia Ruize’s reminder from the Heart Net, Cheng Huaiqian took the initiative to suggest:

“I think the return of the last group of missing people to the camp is more convincing.”

The implication was that this young soldier with brown hair and blue eyes had better not appear in front of humans again, so as not to arouse suspicion in the camp.

If this person was really a trialer, it was obvious that he was not from their Hua Country. According to the Lao Shi’s reminder in the endless space, if they met a trialer from other forces, they should trick him as a gift.

Under the fierce gaze of the young man as if he wanted to eat Cheng Huaiqian, the tentacles of the white insects trembled twice, and finally accepted Cheng Huaiqian’s suggestion. Then several insects immediately used their sharp forelimbs to threaten the young man with brown hair and blue eyes and returned to the crowd.

After seeing this, all the human soldiers looked at Cheng Huaiqian and the other two with anger.

What they never expected was that the three of them remained indifferent, and each one was calmer than the other.

Firstly, there was a traitor among their own people, and secondly, the threat of insects’ against their life was hanging over their heads. In the end, more than a hundred people chose to abandon the dark and surrender to the enemy.

This time there was no need for Cheng Huaiqian’s advice. The white insects’ tentacles moved, and more than thirty of them were sent back to the crowd by the insects that were guarding them. The remaining seventy or so people stayed behind Cheng Huaiqian.

Now, the crowd was divided into two distinct sides.

Xia Ruize watched coldly, speculating that white insects must have a unique way of communicating with other insects. In addition, white insects must have a unique way of distinguishing “friend from foe”.

After making its position clear, the white insect’s magnetic voice rang out again:

“This matter is of great importance. Why should we, the insect race, trust you?”

This was to make Cheng Huaiqian and others show their loyalty.

Cheng Huaiqian, who had always been at the forefront of the “traitors”, lived up to the public’s expectations and took the initiative to say:

“I don’t want my lover to be in danger. I am willing to leave my beloved partner here. I just hope we can have a chance to meet each other to ease the pain of missing each other.”

Cheng Huaiqian said the second half of the sentence while holding Xia Ruize’s hand and looking at Xia Ruize. He really couldn’t bear to be separated from Xia Ruize, and the love flowing between their eyes could not be faked.

The white insect’s tentacles swayed slowly and gracefully twice, expressing its agreement, and promised: “You are worthy of being a soldier of my insect clan. Very good, I promise you that I will not only take good care of your partner, but I will also allow him to enter the room with the black flame stone.”

Then he turned to the others and said, “I have some little treasures here. Take them with you. With them, you can contact me anywhere on this planet.”

As it spoke, some small white insects the size of finger joints slowly flew out from the body of the giant white insect. There were also two small tentacles on its head, which were obviously miniature versions of the white insect.

The little white insects flew towards the necks of the seventy-six humans who had joined the insect tribe. Cheng Huaiqian subconsciously moved his feet to try to dodge, but then forced himself to stop and let the little white insect land on his neck, drill into the back of his collar, and disappear.
