Battle on the Insect Planet (18): Grievance

While the soldiers outside were fighting desperately, in the interrogation room deep in the camp, professional interrogators were trying every means to get information about the Insect clan camp from the surviving soldiers.

Except for the soldiers who refused to speak or could not speak the key points, those soldiers who were silenced by the insects could still reveal a few words before they died. The interrogators tried to piece together some of the truth from these scattered and fragmented information.

Among the people being interrogated, Cheng Huaiqian was the most suspicious individual. Various groups of professional interrogators took turns to use threats, inducements, and all other means to pry something out of him.

Cheng Huaiqian remained silent, looking coldly at the various hideous and terrifying props in the interrogation room. The good news was that these people thought he still had value, and for the time being they were only using verbal threats and prohibiting him from resting, and had not actually taken any action, otherwise Cheng Huaiqian would probably had overturned the table.

The anxious interrogators stared at Cheng Huaiqian angrily, as if they could see right through his brain.

Outside the interrogation room, the battle between humans and the Insect clan became increasingly fierce.

Humans received reinforcements, and the Insect clan sent out a much larger fighting force than before.

A large number of insects surrounded the human camp, and they rushed forward one after another regardless of the attacks of the human soldiers and the artillery fire of the camp, consuming the energy of the human race with their insect life.

The battle between the two races was brutal and cruel. The Insect clan stepped on the corpses of their own kind and wanted to drive humans out of the planet before they could gain a firm foothold, while humans wanted to get rid of the Insect clan as quickly and completely as possible to monopolize the precious Black Flame Stone resources.

As the battle progressed, even if the human soldiers knew what kind of enemy they were facing, facing the endless sea of ​​insects in person and being trapped in an endless battle still shook their hearts.

This battle, which could be regarded as a “greeting gift” from the Insect clan to the reinforcements, lasted for two cosmic days. Seeing that the ground, which was spitting out huge and powerful insects like springs, showed no signs of calming down after being blasted to a shallow depth of two layers by various bombs, but continued to spit out insects, humans finally could not hold back any longer.

Cheng Huaiqian, who had been forced to stay awake and rest for two cosmic days, saw the young commander walk into the interrogation room again.

The endless battles made the commander, who was full of pride when he first arrived at Erdogan, look unhappy. The fatigue on his face showed that he had deeply realized the difficulty of the Insect clan.

Now they were indeed relying on the defense of the camp and sufficient energy to prevent the Insect clan from breaking through the defense line, but at the same time they were also trapped in the camp by the sea of ​​insects and could not get out, and the main task of finding the Black Flame Stone resources had made no progress.

The Federation spent a lot of manpower and resources to explore Erdogan, not to let the pioneers consume energy here for fun, but to let them find more efficient and valuable energy as soon as possible. Under this premise, the performance of the human reinforcements under the leadership of the new commander was poor.

Realizing that his subordinates were having doubts, even the former captain who had previously wanted to lick his boots now looked at him strangely. The commander was annoyed and decided to find another way out and try to find a breakthrough from those traitors.

The commander’s mentality changed, and his attitude also changed. After sitting in the chair in front of Cheng Huaiqian and looking at Cheng Huaiqian for a while, the commander tried to ask in a calm tone:

“I wonder how much you knew about the Insect clan on the planet before coming to Erdogan?”

Cheng Huaiqian curled his lips sarcastically: “Before I was thrown here, I didn’t even know there were insects here.”

The commander didn’t care about Cheng Huaiqian’s attitude. He raised his hand and signaled his adjutant to display some information on the wall of the interrogation room.

Cheng Huaiqian’s eyes moved, and he quickly scanned the data on the wall. These materials showed that the human upper echelons knew much more about Erdogan and the Insect clan on the planet than they let on.

Since they knew there were Insect clan here, why didn’t they tell them in advance? Why did they cause so many ordinary soldiers to die in vain?

“This group of insects is called the ‘Invasion insects’. Their powerful reproductive and combat abilities terrify all other species in the universe. They even have the ability to travel directly through the starry sky.

Once a planet rich in resources is discovered by the invaders, they will devour the entire planet at a very fast speed, and the collected resources and energy will be transformed into the basis for the continued development of the race. The development speed of the entire race will become faster and faster, and it will become stronger and stronger. “

The commander who was explaining the situation himself noticed that Cheng Huaiqian looked at him with a puzzled look, and smiled proudly:

“But no matter how powerful they are, they are still lowly insects.

More than two hundred years ago, all the species in the universe united to clean up the invading insects, and finally sealed the last invading insect race that ravaged the universe on this planet, and also jointly set up a “no-fly order”. In the past two hundred years, the invading insects have not been able to break through the height of ten meters above the surface. “

After giving a casual explanation, the commander became frustrated:

“It’s a pity that humans at that time had not yet discovered the energy source of Black Flame Stone. They had no idea that this huge desolate planet actually contained rich Black Flame Stone resources. They also had no idea that the invading insects would suppress their nature of plundering resources and energy. Over the years, they strictly compressed the size of their race and did not devour the planet. They even retained some Black Flame Stone resources.

These black flame stone resources should belong to us!”

“Will the ‘No-Fly Order’ not affect humans?”

Cheng Huaiqian, however, didn’t care about the invading insects at all, and immediately asked about the “no-fly order”.

It turns out there was such a premise. No wonder the sky of the entire planet was so calm and there was no danger at all.

Cheng Huaiqian’s question made the commander’s expression change. He looked at Cheng Huaiqian with a half-smile and praised him abnormally:

“You are indeed excellent, no wonder you perform well wherever you are. You guessed it right, the ‘No-Fly Order’ not only restricts the invading insectss, but also affects the outsiders on the planet.”

The commander did not expand on the explanation, and obviously did not want to explain the specific impact of the no-fly order on humans. Instead, he stated the purpose of his visit directly:

“The invaders are a great scourge that all races in the universe have been punished for. They were sealed here with great difficulty by our ancestors. If you are really smart and have a sense of responsibility as a human being and a soldier of the Federation, you should know where you should stand now. For example, where is the exact location of the cave with the black flame stone?”

At the end, the commander spoke rapidly, staring at Cheng Huaiqian with cold eyes, waiting to listen carefully to the few words that Cheng Huaiqian could reveal before his death.

Cheng Huaiqian, however, kept silent, and looked calmly at the commander opposite him who was using both soft and hard tactics, with an “unyielding” look as if he was ready to die with his secrets even if he was beaten to death.

“Damn it!”

The commander, who had been forcing himself to be patient for a long time, suddenly became furious. He stood up and kicked the interrogation table. He looked at Cheng Huaiqian with a ferocious face and said viciously: “I think you want to experience the feeling of living a life worse than death…”

“I have sweated for the federation, I have shed blood for the federation, I have made contributions and have not caused any losses to the federation. Why are you treating me like this? Is this fair?”

Cheng Huaiqian seemed to be blind to the commander’s rage and asked back quietly. There was still an expression of injustice on his face, as if he was the one who was betrayed and abandoned and was deeply hurt.
