Battle on the Insect Planet (21): Transfer

The commander, who was trembling with fear, certainly didn’t know that Xia Ruize, who was in the insect clan’s lair at this time, also dragged the white jade insect into the bloody world, and simulated the white jade insect to issue a retreat order to a large number of insects.

During this time, Xia Ruize, who stayed in the insect nest, had been studying the communication methods among the insects. He stimulated the white jade insects through illusions and various scenes set up in the bloody world. He collected and analyzed the different reactions of the white jade insects in different scenes, and finally successfully cracked the “communication code” among the insects.

The vast majority of insects in the insect race did not have the ability to think beyond their fighting instincts. They strictly obeyed the orders of the white jade insect, who was the queen insect. The entire insect race only needed the intelligent brain of the white jade insect.

The white jade insects protected in the Sea of ​​Insects should be the safest. This population model had never had any problems. It was not their fault that they were in trouble now. After all, they had never considered that there were creatures like Phantoms in other worlds with strange and terrifying attack methods.

The final result was that the White Jade Insect, the brain of the insect race, was controlled by Xia Ruize, and Xia Ruize indirectly controlled the entire insect race.

The warring humans and insect clan had never imagined that before the outcome of their racial war could be decided, they would be wiped out by a few insignificant human soldiers.

“You…what do you want to do?” The young commander’s voice was trembling. After all, what he saw and heard was beyond his cognition, and the unknown was the most terrifying thing. “What did you do to them?”

“Our request is simple. We just want to know why the Federation wants to invade Erdogan”

Cheng Huaiqian calmly sat down on a chair in front of the rest area and asked with the look of the owner of the camp.

Gao Hexuan walked behind the commander, not trying to hide his threat at all.

“Didn’t I tell you before? The exploration team that accidentally broke into Erdogan discovered that there are black flame stone resources on this planet, so the military sent people here.”

“No, no, no, there must be some hidden message. We want to know more, you know.”

Cheng Huaiqian made a threatening gesture of snapping his fingers and smiled maliciously.

The commander couldn’t help but shudder when he thought of the last time Cheng Huaiqian snapped his finger and everyone in the camp fell down silently. A fierce struggle broke out in his mind.

The commander did know some top-secret information that could not be made public, but if the headquarters knew that he was the one who leaked the information, his future would be ruined…

“I don’t know much. More than two hundred years ago, after the coalition of various races sealed the invading insects on this planet, they actually signed a joint agreement to designate this planet and the nearby star fields as restricted areas, prohibiting all races from entering. Any violation will be sanctioned by all parties.

Therefore, the Federation’s plan to open up Erdogan was actually a secret operation. Therefore, it is impossible to mobilize a large number of manpower and material resources, and can only try to bring back the black flame stone resources in a small-scale operation.”

The commander spoke tremblingly, observing Cheng Huaiqian’s expression as he spoke. Seeing that Cheng Huaiqian looked like he hadn’t heard enough, he had to rack his brains to organize his words:

“The no-fly order set by the various races will destroy the structure of the spaceship. In the end, the general command will only send spaceships to pick up the black flame stone resources and a small number of high-level personnel. Therefore… the soldiers deployed to Erdogan are actually abandoned by various forces… Of course, I can guarantee that I will be picked up and I can take you away!”

The commander, who was afraid of being angered, shouted the last sentence loudly, but saw Cheng Huaiqian laughing out of anger as if he had heard a huge joke. The commander suddenly dared not breathe.

Cheng Huaiqian appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually discussing quickly with Xia Ruize in his mind. After a while, Cheng Huaiqian asked the commander:

“Under what circumstances would someone from the General Command land on Erdogan?”

This question was actually hiding deep malice, not to mention that Cheng Huaiqian did not hide his malice at all. The commander, realizing what was going on, felt so scared that his heart was about to skip a beat. He hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

Gao Hexuan raised his hand and grabbed the commander’s shoulder, squeezing the commander’s shoulder blades so hard that they crackled. The commander, feeling both pain and fear, quickly shouted:

“I know! I say! I say! If the General Command confirms that Erdogan is safe and has a large amount of Black Flame Stone resources, they may land on Erdogan in person…”

After saving his fragile shoulder blade from Gao Hexuan, the commander hugged his shoulder and added pitifully and helplessly:

“Under normal circumstances, the top leaders of the headquarters would definitely not personally get involved in danger. After thinking about it, I thought of this possibility, but I dare not guarantee that it can be realized, really! I have nothing to hide!”

The young commander thought that this mission was to make him famous, but he unexpectedly put himself in a desperate situation. When their identities were reversed and he was locked in a dark interrogation room, all he had left was endless regret.

The human soldiers who woke up in the camp groped their heads blankly, feeling the pain from falling to the ground. The high degree of consistency between dreams and reality made them unable to tell what day it was. Fortunately, someone soon cleared their confusion.

A tall screen was erected above the reserve command room in the camp, on which was playing a video of the commander’s “truth telling”. Listening to the inside information that they had never known before, the expressions on the soldiers’ faces gradually changed from confusion to anger.

On the spaceship they came here, they were tempting them to work for the Federation with huge monetary rewards and promotions, but now they were told that everything was fake? The real plan of those damned high-ups was to abandon them on this desolate and dangerous planet and let them fend for themselves?

How callous was this?

The soldiers felt that their heroic fight had lost its meaning in an instant, and even their lives had lost their value.

Thinking about the outcome of the annihilation of the advance troops and the human-insect war that had never stopped since the support team landed on the planet, many soldiers fell into confusion after great anger. Looking around, against the desolate background, there were the equally confused faces of their comrades.

The reality was that they were trapped on this desolate planet. If the headquarters did not prepare to send a spaceship to pick them up, they would die when the camp warehouse resources were exhausted. Or, they may be killed by a large number of insects before that.

In fact, it was not only the soldiers in the camp who were confused. A drone carried the commander’s video and flew all the way to the cave where the human soldiers captured by the Insect clan were, and then played it in front of the insect  guards.

The shocking truth was revealed, causing the soldiers, who had already lost their fighting spirit due to being captured, to completely collapse. It turned out that they had actually been abandoned by the Federation they had sworn to be loyal to?!

Some soldiers thought of their comrades who had died tragically and themselves who were about to die in the insect nest. Their eyes turned bloodshot and they could not help but let out sad roars. They beat the ground frantically to vent their anger and anguish.

The more than 200 shocked soldiers did not notice that a larva more than one meter tall passed through the insects guarding the prisoners and appeared at the entrance of the cave. It bent its legs and shook the two boxes of nutrient solution on its back to the ground, then turned around and left with a “click”.

In the human camp, the commander’s video was played in a loop for more than ten times. Along with such background sound, several high-ranking officials in the camp who were found by the soldiers were beaten up, which further confirmed the authenticity of the video content.

People fought, but the fact that the camp became an isolated city did not change. After venting their anger, the powerless and desperate soldiers fell into a dead silence. At this time, Cheng Huaiqian’s voice rang out in the camp through the loudspeaker:

“Ahem, hello… Ahem, I advise everyone not to be too discouraged. The situation is far from the worst. Otherwise, how would this conspiracy be exposed? As long as we are alive, we can still do something. After being tricked so badly, don’t you want to trick them back?”

The sudden sound broke the deadly atmosphere and rekindled hope for the soldiers who were trapped in grief and despair. Yes, they were not dead yet, they had not taken revenge yet, they still had to fight back!

Cheng Huaiqian, who was in the reserve command room, smiled mischievously.

Standing behind him was the arsonist who had occupied the main command room and burned it down completely. At this moment, he was staring at Cheng Huaiqian’s back in amazement, speechless, and fell into deep self-doubt.

They were all Trialers, how did they do this? How did they dig out so much inside information and make the situation like this? Were they all Trialers of the same level? Were they really in the same mission world?

At this time, Xia Ruize, who was in the Insect Clan’s nest, patted the larvae that had completed the meal delivery mission, stood up and followed the larvae out of the cave, walked through the passage and into the underground hall. Without stopping, he walked directly to the platform built with high-quality black flame stone, and with a force of his feet, he jumped onto the platform.

Xia Ruize had been staying in the Black Flame Stone Cave recently and had truly felt the effect of the Black Flame Stone. The most obvious change was that the four physical attributes of strength, agility, spirit, and constitution had increased by 0.3 to 0.8 respectively, with the strength attribute increasing the most.

In addition to the improvement of his physical attributes, Xia Ruize could also feel that his control over his body was also improving, but it could not be expressed with specific numbers.

This shows that one’s strength could be improved simply by staying around the Black Flame Stone. With such a precious resource, it was no wonder that the Federation was willing to take huge risks and pay a huge price to take the Black Flame Stone resources on Erdogan for themselves.

Standing on the platform, Xia Ruize calmly felt the effect of the high-quality black flame stone, then used the stone wall to gain leverage, and with several leaps he climbed higher and higher, eventually flipping onto the platform at the top of the hall.

Standing on the platform, there was a spacious cave in front of him. In the middle of the cave lay a huge, round, white jade-like insect.

The white jade insect’s big black eyes were half-closed weakly at this moment, and its two long and soft tentacles swayed weakly and hung down beside its face, with only the tail tip trembling slightly.

The White Jade Bug, whose vitality and mental strength were severely damaged, stared at Xia Ruize for a long time, with frustration in its voice:

“So it was you… I misjudged you… I just want to know how you did it? You made me fall for it without even realizing it, and I can’t even get rid of it”
