Battle on the Insect Planet (16): Reversal

The captain of the camp’s pioneer team had completely lost his fighting spirit. After listening to the words of the survivors, he was too lazy to even lift his eyelids, nor was he too lazy to delve into the meaning of them. He directly conveyed the statements of the surviving soldiers to the headquarters, and then waited for the headquarters’ instructions.

The conference room suddenly fell into silence. The guilty soldiers looked at each other secretly, their hearts pounding with fear and they were restless, worried that they had revealed their flaws somewhere.

Finally, everyone involuntarily turned their eyes to Cheng Huaiqian, the rebel leader appointed by the Insect race. He sat there righteously and calmly, as if he was still the most loyal soldier.

The silence lasted for more than ten minutes before the captain finally responded. He first listened to the instructions in his earphones, then projected some photos on the screen and asked casually:

“Look carefully. Did you see any stone similar to this material when you were in the underground pit?”

As he spoke, he clicked on a video. Everyone looked at him in surprise, because the black stone shown in the video and photos was exactly the material of the stone platform under the white jade insect that everyone saw in the underground hall. There was a faint glow in the black color, which was unforgettable.

Cheng Huaiqian immediately stood up and took the initiative to say:

“I’ve seen this material before. I think I saw a whole cave full of this kind of stone.”

Cheng Huaiqian’s words stunned the captain for a few seconds, and then his depressed mood suddenly became excited. He waved his hand eagerly to signal Cheng Huaiqian to come closer and confirmed again and again:

“Take a good look at this! Have you really seen this kind of material?”

Cheng Huaiqian looked at the picture carefully with a serious expression and nodded in confirmation: “Yes, this is it.”

“Hahahaha, hahahaha, good job!”

The captain suddenly burst into laughter and patted Cheng Huaiqian on the shoulder. His previous depressed mood was gone and his excitement was about to overflow. Noticing the puzzled looks of Cheng Huaiqian and other soldiers, the captain took the initiative to explain with great interest:

“You guys are lucky to have survived a disaster, so you will surely have good fortune in the future!

The material you see is called Black Flame Stone, a rare and precious pure energy source. A small piece of it can provide a lot of power.

Let me give you an example that you soldiers can understand. For example, the Type 9 mecha, the energy currently used can only keep it running at full capacity for one hour. But if it is replaced with black flame stone energy, a palm-sized piece of black flame stone can keep the Type 9 mecha running at full capacity for one hour.

Black Flame Stone is used as an energy source. It is small in size, easy to carry, and stable. If there is enough Black Flame Stone reserve, the Type 9 mecha can even never shut down! “

The captain waved his hand excitedly, as if he saw the scene of all 9 mechas using black flame stones as their driving energy. He looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of the soldiers below with satisfaction, chuckled, lowered his voice and continued to introduce mysteriously:

“The most precious thing about the Black Flame Stone is not this, but the fact that it is beneficial to mankind.

According to the old guys at the Academy of Sciences, a special magnetic field will be formed around the black flame stone, which will stimulate the cells in the organisms in the magnetic field to release energy, thereby improving the overall quality by increasing cell strength.

This is why those damn bugs grow so big and so strong! It must be because they have been in the special magnetic field of the Black Flame Stone for a long time!

Why do you think the special forces are so strong? It is because their training camps are always filled with small pieces of black flame stones, which makes the individual strength of special forces far superior to that of ordinary soldiers!

Let me tell you, Black Flame Stone is a resource that the Federation must obtain. The reason why we want to explore Erdogan this time is because we heard that there is Black Flame Stone here!

Hahahaha! It really is here!”

The captain seemed to see hope for a comeback, and he could not help pacing back and forth, waiting for instructions from the outer space headquarters. At the same time, he gently comforted the soldiers who had witnessed the Black Flame Stone with their own eyes:

“You have done a great deed by finding the Black Flame Stone!

Next, the general command will definitely send more people to continue exploring this planet, and you, as valuable experienced people, will definitely be reused!

As long as we finally find the Black Flame Mine, all previous failures can be written off, and a bright future awaits us!”

The captain, who foresaw a bright future for himself, slammed the table as he spoke excitedly. He had previously been under heavy pressure from the annihilation of the pioneer team due to poor command. Who could have imagined that there would be a new way out after all the difficulties?

Amidst the extreme joy and sorrow, the captain’s emotional management was completely out of control. Like a madman, he proclaimed the beautiful future to a group of sad-looking soldiers below the stage.

Cheng Huaiqian talked quietly, trying to induce the captain to reveal more information about the Black Flame Stone. After all, Xia Ruize was in the cave of the Black Flame Stone at this time.

The headquarters was obviously excited by the accurate information of the Black Flame Stone. They repeatedly asked the surviving soldiers to provide detailed descriptions and extracted key parts from the images recorded in the soldiers’ mechas. After experts confirmed that it was indeed the Black Flame Stone, the headquarters promised that a large number of reinforcements would be sent as soon as possible.

The most excited people to hear the news were the officers in the camp command. They had thought that this pioneering operation would end in failure, leaving a dark mark on their resumes.

Now, their command mistakes had brought about the most desired result of the pioneering operation. Several officers had immediately received more attention from their superiors and were on the verge of being promoted.

After receiving the good news that the reinforcement team was about to arrive, the captain waved his hand and let the soldiers who had finally escaped to rest and recuperate, allowing them to recuperate and regain their strength, as more important tasks were waiting for them.

What the captain did not notice was that the soldiers returning to the camp were vaguely led by Cheng Huaiqian. After subconsciously looking at Cheng Huaiqian a few times, everyone left the conference room one by one and went to the rest area.

Cheng Huaiqian sneaked back into the closed sleeping box and released the phantom obtained from the previous mission world. The blood-red phantom circled around him twice and gradually disappeared in the air.

Phantoms were best at taking advantage of human weaknesses, infiltrating into the minds of sleeping humans unknowingly and bringing them into a terrifying bloody world.

In the bloody world, the human camp was suddenly lost and countless insects swarmed in. The soldiers fought until their energy was exhausted, but the insects still did not decrease. In the end, they could only die in despair.

Not only the soldiers who got their rest time were dragged into the bloody world, but also the logistics personnel who were on break were dragged into the bloody world and died under the siege of the overwhelming insects.

When sleeping humans wake up, they have no memory of the dream scene, only vague feelings of fear and despair.

This was the first time the soldiers had more than ten hours of rest after landing on the planet Erdogan. There was no shrill ring to urgently summon them, and everyone slept until they woke up naturally.

After waking up, there was nothing important to do, so they could just wander around the camp aimlessly. After all, the human camp no longer had the ability to attack proactively, so they could only wait patiently for the reinforcements sent by the headquarters to arrive.

The soldiers, full of thoughts, looked at the deserted camp as it fell into silence. The atmosphere was so silent that it was depressing. The only good news was probably that the little white insects living behind them did not urge them to do anything.

In contrast to the depressed soldiers, the officers of the camp command, contrary to their previous depression, enthusiastically commanded the logistics personnel to repair mechas, expand the camp, and make various preparations to welcome reinforcements.

On the other hand, Xia Ruize, who was in the Black Flame Stone Cave, also learned about the Black Flame Stone. He simply released a series of his pets to let them experience the special effects of the Black Flame Stone.

Bored, Xia Ruize tried to let his phantom Xiao Bai drag the insect race into the bloody world.

Unexpectedly, although this trick was not very effective against ordinary insects, it accidentally trapped the white jade insect into the bloody world.

With the help of the phantom fragments that were hidden as rewards after completing the previous mission world, Xia Ruize’s Phantom Xiao Bai had been evolving from Blood Phantom to King Phantom. There were golden lines flowing in its deep blood-red body. It seemed that after it digested all the phantom fragments obtained by the three members of the team, it would be able to completely evolve into King Phantom.
