The World of Demons (3): Class

Xia Ruize, lying on the bed, released his mental power and released Da Hei and Xiao Hei to investigate the surrounding situation.

The area covered by the mental power were all the new students recruited by the academy. The candles in most of the rooms were extinguished, and the people in the rooms could only rest in the dark. However, there were a few rooms where people had brought candles with them and were continuing to read in the dim candlelight.

They really loved learning!

The darkness could not affect the actions of Da Hei and Xiao Hei at all. Instead, they rushed through the underground passage under the cover of darkness. Soon, they found a map of the underground passage for Xia Ruize.

The next day, what woke people up was not the morning light but the sound of a huge bell. Someone was ringing the bell in the underground passage. The sound of the bell echoed continuously in the narrow passage, waking up a group of people.

Ye Se jumped out of bed almost at the moment the bell rang, washed up quickly, put on the yellow robe issued by the academy, held the clay jar in his arms, sat on a chair, reading a book while waiting for the gray-robed teacher to pick them up.

Xia Ruize and the other two knew the time systematically and knew that it was still a full half hour until seven o’clock, so they packed up at a leisurely pace.

Ye Se looked a little nervous, and his nervousness even overwhelmed his shyness. He took the initiative to chat with his roommates, who he was not very familiar with:

“Aren’t you worried?”

Xia Ruize cast a puzzled look at Ye Se, and Ye Se continued to explain: “Today’s test, if you don’t pass the test, you won’t be able to eat.”

Xia Ruize glanced at the clay jar in Ye Se’s arms with complicated eyes. He really wanted to say that he didn’t really want to eat such “rice”. Considering Ye Se’s feelings, he finally swallowed it back silently.

However, Ye Se thought that Xia Ruize was also nervous, but in a different way from him. Realizing that he was not the only one who was nervous, Ye Se suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Ten minutes later, the man in a gray robe pushed open the dormitory door on time. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to follow him.

The man in gray robes pushed open the doors of five dormitories in succession, and led twenty new trainees who had just passed the sacred screening yesterday and were wearing shabby yellow robes out of the underground passage, and finally walked outside.

After walking outside for a long time, Xia Ruize and the other two subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw that the sky of this mission world was dark. It was dim even in broad daylight, which made people feel depressed for no reason.

In contrast to the previous world which was bright all day long, this mission world was gloomy all day long, and the daytime was not much brighter than the evening.

Xia Ruize noticed that there were other gray-robed men leading young people in yellow robes. They all went in the same direction, crossed an empty dirt playground, and walked into a magnificent red brick building.

The first floor of the building was a large tiered classroom. Two books had already been placed on the desk. Within just a few minutes, the classroom was filled with new students in yellow robes. Xia Ruize scanned with his mental power and knew that there were more than 160 people who passed the test yesterday.

The students led by the same gray-robed man sat in two rows, and the gray-robed teacher stood at the front of the students with a serious expression.

The gray-robed men were too aloof and difficult to approach. When they stared at the students with serious expressions, no one dared to make a noise and everyone sat very obediently.

At seven o’clock, a man in a blue robe walked into the classroom. Led by the man in the gray robe, all the students saluted the man in the blue robe, placing their right hands on their chests and bowing deeply to show their respect.

It seemed that this was a common etiquette in the indigenous world. There was no need to re-teach or remind them. The trainees all knew when to do it. Xia Ruize marked a few people who were a beat behind.

The man in the blue robe nodded casually to the teachers and students, and pointed to a stack of yellow papers he had brought with him.

Then Xia Ruize watched the gray-robed man take the yellow paper and distribute it to the students he was teaching, along with feather pens.

After getting the yellow paper, Xia Ruize immediately realized, wasn’t this just a test paper?

Taking an exam right after waking up in the morning? Taking an exam before we were taught anything? How could a human being do this?

Xia Ruize looked at the test questions on the test paper that were related to the seven basic books placed in the dormitory last night, and deeply understood why someone always reminded them that their study tasks were heavy, because the study tasks in this mission world were really heavy!

There was no point in complaining, as the gray-robed man had loudly reminded the students that they must finish the test within half an hour and had started the timer.

Student Xia Ruize held the thin feather pen awkwardly and answered the questions reluctantly.

Although the feather pen was not easy to use and the test paper was not convenient for writing, the test questions were not difficult for him. They were all questions that he could do after memorizing them from basic books, so Xia Ruize answered the questions quite quickly.

What was really despairing was that after the half-hour test time was over, the man in gray robes graded the papers of his students on the spot and quickly calculated the scores of each student.

Anyone who scored less than 60 points out of 100 was ordered to stand against the wall at the back of the classroom and was told that they would not have any meals for the day.

Xia Ruize watched helplessly as more than half of the students in the classroom were driven to the back of the classroom, including their roommate, the poor blond Xiao Ye Se.

None of the punished students dared to raise any objections, and they all obediently walked to the back of the classroom and stood there as punishment.

The students who passed the exam and were sitting in their seats had no happy expressions on their faces. Looking at the people standing at the back of the classroom, they seemed to have foreseen their own tragic future.

The classroom accommodated nearly two hundred people, but because no one dared to make too much noise, it managed to create the quiet effect of only a dozen people.

After the students who were supposed to sit down or stand up were seated, the man in blue robe who had been sitting on the podium with his eyes closed and resting saw that the morning assessment was over, so he cleared his throat and began to lecture.

From the fluency of his lectures, we could tell that Mr. Blue robe had a very solid grasp of theoretical knowledge. He first spent an hour reviewing the important contents of the seven books provided to students the day before, and then continued to teach in a more in-depth direction.

This lecture lasted for four hours without stopping. The teacher in the blue robe had no interaction with the students. He just produced a lot of theoretical knowledge without paying any attention to the fact that the students below were already dizzy and looked pale.

In addition, the gray-robed teacher maintained discipline throughout the entire teaching process. Specifically, if any student made a big movement or had an inappropriate expression on his face, he would be given a death stare by the teacher.

As the number of such incidents increased, even Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had to sit up straight and pretend to be listening to the lecture seriously.

“Isn’t the difficulty of this mission world just the lessons? Although the difficulty is not high, the process is indeed a bit torturous.”

After four hours of classes in a row, Xia Ruize couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

Anyway, he had never taken such a high-intensity four-hour course when he was in school. This was real cramming education. The teacher didn’t care whether the students understood it or not, and just crammed it in violently.

Finally, it was noon. All the students’ eyes were frozen. The blue-robed teacher finally let the poor students go and casually said, “Take the test before the class in the afternoon.” Then he left the classroom first.

More than a hundred students were left in shock.

The gray-robed teacher reacted immediately, asked his students to hand in the clay jars, and told them to stay in the classroom to review what they had learned in the morning and wait patiently for lunch to be delivered.

Ye Se, who had regained the right to sit down because the teacher had left, wandered over to Xia Ruize like a wandering soul and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he began to flip through the books provided on the desk. It seemed that he was ready to make studying his meal.

The books that had been placed on the course curriculum long ago were the content of the morning lecture. Perhaps because the difficulty had increased, the man in the blue robe taught in more detail, and it took the entire morning to go through the two books.

Xia Ruize looked around and saw that most of the students were taking advantage of their time to review their books. A small number of students did not want to study, but were exhausted and dizzy. They really could not concentrate on studying. They looked like they could not sit still and were swaying as if they might faint at any time.

Not long after, the gray-robed teachers pushed the students’ lunch into the classroom and distributed clay pots to the students who were qualified to eat.

Ye Se’s stomach growled loudly. He swallowed hard and tried to focus on the contents of the book, but the aroma of food continued to waft towards him, aggressively snatching away his already pitifully scarce attention.

Ye Se’s deskmate, Gao Hexuan, poured the food in his clay jar into Ye Se’s empty clay jar. Under Ye Se’s surprised eyes, he said casually: “Give it to you, share it with them.”

“No, no, no, how can this be possible…”

Ye Se refused hastily. In his opinion, food was the most precious thing. He couldn’t even be full himself, so no one would give up their food.

Ye Se’s resistance was suppressed by Gao Hexuan, and then Gao Hexuan turned around and huddled together with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian behind him. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian each poured some food into Gao Hexuan’s clay jar.

Ye Se was immediately moved. He looked at his three roommates with moist eyes and thought that his roommates were really nice people.

The good man in Ye Se’s eyes was actually eating delicacies brought from other worlds and the endless world under the illusion. After all, the clay jar at noon today was filled with a bunch of sticky unknown mixture, which they could not accept. Instead of wasting it, it was better to give it to those in need.

If they were not afraid to go too far, the three of them really wanted to give away all the food.

Xia Ruize looked around and saw that most of the natives in the mission world were eating happily and contentedly. The students who were punished by not having lunch held down their growling stomachs and tried hard to focus their eyes on their books instead of on other people’s clay jars.

In such a large environment, it would be difficult for the few trialers who had no illusion to protect themselves from showing disgust. Of course, the more difficult challenge was to eat a bunch of unknown food in the clay jar in front of everyone.

Xia Ruize took the opportunity to target several suspected targets who might be trialers. The one who overlapped with the student who was a beat slow in the morning salute was most likely a trialer.

The lunch break was only one hour long, so the trainees worked very quickly because they not only had to eat, but also had to wash the clay jars and study hard. They were extremely busy.

The World of Demons(2): Students

The gray-robed man walking in front entered an underground passage, and the excited young people behind hurriedly followed. The gray-robed man introduced quickly as he walked:

“After passing the divine selection, you will become new students of the academy. In the academy, you will enjoy the benefits of free food, accommodation, clothing, and even study materials. If you successfully graduate from the academy and become a formal magic apprentice and go to the battlefield, you will also enjoy a generous salary.”

As the gray-robed man finished speaking, a burst of exclamations rang out in the passage.

Xia Ruize pondered, the living standards of the natives in this mission world seemed to be relatively low, but even this most basic welfare could arouse cheers, and going to the battlefield became something to look forward to?

He only heard the gray-robed man continue to explain:

“I advise you not to be happy too soon. After entering the academy, there will be very strict assessments every day. Only by passing the assessments can you enjoy all the benefits. If you fail an assessment once, you will lose three meals a day. If you fail the assessment twice, you will be punished by the teacher personally. If you fail the assessment three times, you will be expelled from the academy and lose the qualification to study.

I am your instructor. I have only one piece of advice for you. If you want to stay in the academy and become a magic apprentice successfully, there is only one secret, and that is to study! As long as you survive, study until you die!”

The last sentence seemed to have a profound impact on the man in gray robes, and it was almost as if he had squeezed it out from between his teeth.

Before anyone could express their questions, they arrived at their destination and the man in gray robes arranged dormitories for them.

The dormitories were all four-person rooms with separate bathrooms. Four wooden single beds were placed against the walls on both sides, and in the middle was a long table with supplies distributed to everyone neatly placed on the table.

In addition to the four robes, the supplies also included four piles of books. It was obvious that these books had been read countless times. Fortunately, they were well preserved and had no damage.

Xia Ruize and the other two, as well as a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, were assigned to the same dormitory. The young man smiled shyly, nodded to Xia Ruize and the other two, and chose a bed near the door.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian stood in the windowless underground dormitory looking at each other in silence. The dormitory was lit by candles. The room was small and stuffy. The environment was not really comfortable.

The blond young man seemed to adapt well. He sat down at the table first, brought a pile of books in front of him, and picked up the top book to start reading.

Xia Ruize and the other two immediately looked at the young man, which made the blond young man feel embarrassed. He took the initiative to speak to ease the awkwardness:

“My name is Ye Se. Don’t you guys read books? I heard that the study pressure is very high after entering the academy. These books are placed here, and it is very likely that we are required to study by ourselves. It is better to seize the time to read books.”

Xia Ruize and the other two exchanged names with Ye Se, looked at each other, and decided to accept the advice of the natives of the mission world and start reading.

There were seven books in each pile, all of which were basic books such as “Introduction to Magic” and “Introduction to Elements of Magic”.

Very good, this kind of book was just right for them who had just entered this mission world. The three of them studied patiently and seriously.

The difference was that Xia Ruize and the other two had strong mental strength, and their reading and comprehension speeds were very fast, especially Xia Ruize, who could almost scan ten lines at a glance and still understand and remember them easily.

In addition, the printing quality of the books here was relatively simple, with only more than ten lines on a page, so in Ye Se’s opinion, Xia Ruize was just flipping through the books page by page for fun.

Then he looked at the other two roommates, who were also flipping through books quickly.

Ye Se thought his roommates didn’t take his words seriously and sighed in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to remind them again, so he had to concentrate on the book in front of him.

Ye Se didn’t know that Xia Ruize and the other two were actually very serious.

The three of them soon had a rough idea of ​​what so-called “magic” was.

The magic in this mission world was divided into five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. If you want to become a magician, you must have an affinity with one or more of these five elements. It was said that the higher the affinity, the faster you learn magic.

In addition to affinity with magical elements, there was another requirement to become a magician, which was strong mental strength.

In this world, young people between the ages of 18 and 24 have the opportunity to participate in the divine screening twice a year. As long as they passed the divine screening, they could become students of the academy, receive free education, and have the opportunity to become a magician.

Even those who were eliminated by the academy could participate in the divine screening again in the second year. No wonder many people seemed to be very clear about the academy’s rules. It seemed that the news about the academy had already spread.

Just like that, the small dormitory became quiet, and the four of them studied silently by the candlelight. In fact, except for Ye Se, the other three would communicate in the mind network while studying.

They stayed in the dormitory underground without realizing how much time had passed until someone opened the door.

The four people whose studies were interrupted looked together. It was their teacher, the man in a gray robe, who was pushing a small cart with a pile of ceramic tableware on it.

The gray-robed man noticed that the four were reading, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the four to each take a can of food, and instructed:

“This is your dinner. Remember to wash your own dishes after eating. Before seven o’clock tomorrow morning, put on the yellow robes you were given, bring your dishes and wait here. I will take you to the classroom.

You know it’s good to study hard, so study in your room at night and don’t run out for no reason.”

After quickly explaining, the man in gray pushed the food cart and continued to knock on the door of the next room.

The blond young man carefully put away the books and placed the pottery jar on the dining table. He looked very happy. He smiled at Xia Ruize and the other two and said, “May God bless me. I’m starting!”

The young man scooped a spoonful of food from the pottery jar with a clay spoon and put it into his mouth, sighing with satisfaction.

Xia Ruize looked at the sticky pile of unknown food in the clay pot, frowned, waved his hand to create an illusion, then carefully picked up the spoon and took a bite, and sure enough, he spit it out again.

“What a devilish smell!!!”

Xia Ruize couldn’t help but complain. He could accept the tasteless nutrient solution, but the food in this mission world really exceeded his acceptance threshold. This big jar of stuff was offensive from its shape to its taste!

Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan were also unable to accept it. The three of them turned their heads to look at the blond young man who was eating happily and felt deeply that people were different.

They couldn’t eat such food even with their noses closed, so they could only deal with the unknown mixture in the pottery jar, take out the delicacies stored in the space under the illusion, and eat them happily.

Not long after dinner, the candles in the dormitory had burned out and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Cheng Huaiqian opened the dormitory door and looked out. There was not even a candle in the corridor. It was pitch black, and it was obvious that the students in each room were asked to stay in the dormitory and not run around.

Unable to go out, the three of them simply washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

At this time, Ye Se walked to the candle with the book in his arms. With the last bit of light from the candle, he seized the opportunity to read two more pages of the book. After the candle was completely burned out, he washed up in the dark and went to bed.

The World of Demons(1): Regret

When the experienced rescue workers arrived at the scene and saw the deformed vehicle, they couldn’t help but shake their heads in their hearts. The car was deformed like this, and the people inside were very likely to have met with an accident.

When the rescuers carefully forced open the car door, they found a large human-shaped object inside the car. It was the driver, whose entire body was wrapped in a thin layer of inflatable membrane and was still shaking slightly.

The rescuer lifted a large inflatable membrane out of the car with a surprised look on his face, turned it over, and then met the driver’s eyes, whose face was exposed in the transparent part in front of him.

Rescuer: …

Driver: …

“Brother, thank you for saving me! Please help me call my daughter. I didn’t read the instructions carefully and don’t know how to take this thing back.”

The driver shouted loudly, fearing that the rescuers could not hear him through the inflatable membrane.

But just as he finished speaking, the inflatable membrane on his body deflated with a “hiss” and slipped off from his body by itself, folding up and finally shrinking into a square box, staying quietly beside the driver.

The driver, who was protected by the inflatable membrane and was unharmed in the car accident, and the rescuer, who was full of surprise, looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, the rescuer finally found his voice and asked anxiously:

“Hey, what’s this on you?”

The driver smiled awkwardly, quickly reached out and picked up the square box beside him and held it tightly in his arms, then shared:

“This is a little nurse robot that my daughter bought for me. Hey, I said before that children spend money recklessly, but now I see that young people really know a lot. This thing is really powerful. It wrapped me up in a flash. Now I don’t feel any pain anywhere on my body. Hehe, it doesn’t hurt anywhere.”

There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Rescuer: …

Although the brief news report ended quickly, the rescue workers at the scene, the reporters who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, the passers-by watching nearby, and the audience who saw the news all noticed the square box in the driver’s arms and followed the trail. The sales of the little nurse robot in the online store gradually increased.

Professional rescuers in particular were most impressed by the powerful functions of Little Nurse No. 1.

As more and more people actually use Little Nurse No. 1, various feedbacks had naturally increased.

Although accidents didn’t happen every day, whenever an accident occurred, users who were protected by the little nurse and were safe and sound would automatically become little nurse fans and leave messages praising the little nurse to their friends and family and on various social platforms.

As professional medical staff became aware of the powerful effects of the Little Nurse robot, sales of the Little Nurse really exploded, gradually spreading from medical staff to patients with various chronic diseases. Then, with their feedback on its use, the Little Nurse No. 1 robot truly entered the eyes and homes of the general public.

In just two months, the Little Nurse No. 1 robot grew from an initial weekly sales of three units to more than 10,000 units.

The Little Nurse No. 1 robot was a high-tech product, and the most valuable thing about it was the technology it contained. But for Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had experienced many high-tech mission worlds and brought back a large amount of theoretical and technical data each time, technology was not a problem at all and did not require huge scientific research investment.

Therefore, the real cost of their products was the hardware cost. The selling price they set was three times the hardware cost, which was enough for them to make a lot of money and significantly increase the salaries of researchers.

Of course, sales matters had nothing to do with Xia Ruize. Xia Ruize had already led researchers to develop new products.

Because all the data were checked by Xia Ruize himself, with the support of strong mental strength, Xia Ruize unknowingly taught himself to become an academic big shot, more professional than professional researchers, and in overall control of the entire research process.

When Xia Ruize received the reminder of a new mission again, he immediately dropped the experiment he was conducting and returned home. He happened to meet Cheng Huaiqian who had also rushed back. The two looked at each other with serious expressions.

This would be their third Silver Page Area mission. According to convention, if this mission world could also be completed smoothly, they would be eligible to advance to the Gold Book Area.

But Lao Shi said that the number of trialers in the Golden Book Area was very small, and there might be some special troubles waiting for them ahead, so they had to be cautious.

They locked the door and lay side by side on the bed. Cheng Huaiqian held his lover’s hand and Xia Ruize held it back.

Fortunately, no matter what happened, they would face it together, and suddenly they felt empowered.

The mission started on time, and when Xia Ruize opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim underground passage. Only the faint light from the candles on the walls on both sides illuminated the dim passage.

In the narrow passage, a group of young people were queuing quietly.

In front of Xia Ruize was Cheng Huaiqian, and behind him was Gao Hexuan. The three of them were thrown together, exchanged glances, and immediately felt much more at ease.

Xia Ruize observed the surrounding environment calmly. The dim tunnel should have ventilation holes. A gentle breeze blew past him, keeping the temperature and humidity in the tunnel at a suitable level.

Although there were many people queuing, for some unknown reason, everyone was very careful and cautious, so the surroundings were very quiet.

Xia Ruize released his mental power and found that their team was very long, with people stretching out to the limit. At this moment, Xia Ruize felt a strong aura at the boundary of the mental power detection area, and he immediately withdrew his mental power.

A powerful aura spread out, spreading throughout the entire underground passage, and soon passed over Xia Ruize and the other two.

Xia Ruize immediately understood that there were powerful individuals in this mission world, and they were not far away. The three of them immediately became more cautious in their actions.

The good news was that those lining up all looked young, and there were always some who couldn’t help but whisper a few words, which also allowed Xia Ruize and the other two to learn some information from the chat.

“I sincerely pray to God to bless me to pass the divine selection and become a magic apprentice! This is the hope of our whole family!”

“As long as one’s mental strength reaches medium or one’s affinity for a certain magical element reaches medium, one can pass the divine screening. I must pass it!”

“I heard that life will be completely different after becoming a magic apprentice. I’m really looking forward to it!”

…..

The chat revealed very little, all pointing to the same keyword: “magic”.

It seemed like they had come to a magical world.

Although the line was long, it was moving at a fast pace. After the three of them waited patiently for an hour, it was finally their turn.

The end of the queue could be seen in front. After a long upward staircase, the young people in the queue would enter a wide and tall stone hall. There were four high platforms similar to rings in the hall, and people wearing gray and blue robes were standing around the platforms.

At the deepest part of the hall, there was a podium, on which sat a man in a black robe with silver edges. He just sat on the podium, his eyes casually scanning the hall, and the hundreds of people in the hall did not dare to act presumptuously.

Only then did Xia Ruize see that the four platforms corresponded to four long teams of young people. The young people at the front of the team would stand on the platform under the command of staff in gray robes.

The young people standing on the platform only needed to stand there for a dozen seconds and did not need to do anything else. If a warm yellow light appeared around the platform, they would be kept by the gray-robed man. If there was no reaction from the platform, they would have to leave the hall.

The young people who were left behind all had happy expressions on their faces. Correspondingly, those who were signaled to leave by the gray-robed man had disappointed faces and were reluctant to leave. However, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and serious. Even if those who were asked to leave were aggrieved to the point of crying, they did not dare to disobey the rules.

Only a small number of people pass the screening, one out of ten was lucky, and most people were unable to make the podium light up and could only leave with regret.

This process, which seemed to be called “divine screening”, proceeded quietly and quickly, and soon it was the turn of Cheng Huaiqian and the other two.

Cheng Huaiqian was the first to walk onto the platform. Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan both focused their attention on the platform that was one meter high and three meters in diameter. After more than ten seconds, a bright warm yellow light lit up around the platform.

The gray-robed man beside the platform motioned Cheng Huaiqian to go to the side of the hall and wait for a moment. The man in the blue robe who had been watching without moving beside the platform smiled at Cheng Huaiqian who had passed the screening.

After Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan, who were following closely behind Cheng Huaiqian, walked onto the platform one after another, the platform also lit up with a bright warm yellow light.

Three people passed the divine selection in succession. Not only did the other young people behind them cast envious glances at them, but even the black-robed man sitting steadily on the rostrum cast a concerned look at them.

Xia Ruize and the other two who were arranged to wait at one side of the hall finally received the mission reminder:

[Budenbass is wailing in pain. The war that has been burning for years will eventually burn the continent to ashes.

Main mission: 1. Pass the magic apprentice trial 2. Kill 5 Demon soldiers

Mission completed: reward 4,000 survival points

Mission failed: deduct 2,000 survival points

Special reminder: This mission can be rejected. Please confirm whether to reject this mission within 30 seconds… Yes/No?]

As soon as he saw the mission prompt, Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t help but let out a sigh. The mission required killing the “demon soldiers” and he had heard people mention “magic” many times before. It seemed that this world had nothing to do with technology. Then the [all-round mecha] that he had just redeemed for more than 10,000 survival points would be useless in this world.

The mecha from the previous world made Cheng Huaiqian appreciate the beauty of technology and power. He did not take the mecha away from the human camp, but bought a silver-colored low-grade all-round mecha from the Lord god. He was looking forward to driving it to wreak havoc on everyone, but ended up encountering a mission world that was difficult to use. It was really depressing.

However, the main mission of this mission world was a bit unique. It was a rare mission that did not require survival time. Although it was a little depressing, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize decided to stay and carry out the mission after a quick discussion.

As for Gao Hexuan, of course he would follow whatever the boss chooses. It was always right to follow the boss’ teammates.

After accepting the mission, the three of them and a dozen young people who had passed the divine selection and were waiting nearby were led out of the hall by a man in a gray robe.

Harvest

“This blessing is a really good thing!”

While listening to the boss’ review, Gao Hexuan took the opportunity to express his admiration.

According to the system introduction, the effect of [Bless] was to restore all injuries of the user within three seconds. This meant that if they encountered a serious injury, using Bless , they could restore themselves to their best condition in seconds. Just think about it and you will know that the effect is very powerful.

In addition to bless, the upgrade of the pet space was also very useful to Xia Ruize. After the upgrade of the pet space, the most obvious effect was that the internal area had expanded several times, and each pet had a private activity space far beyond the previous one.

Secondly, the environment in the pet space had also been upgraded, making the pets feel comfortable from the inside out.

Da Hei and Xiao Hei were lively and frolicking around in the new space. The small and fat Xiang Zhong was rather lazy. Even though its exclusive space had expanded several times, it still stayed in its original position. At most, it turns over, rubs happily against the soft feathers around it, and continues to fall into a deep sleep.

The phantom Xiao Bai liked to bully Xiao Hei the most, but Xiao Bai moved slowly and could not catch up with the fast-flying Xiao Hei. He could only follow Xiao Hei in vain, swaying back and forth, looking like a lively phantom.

The invading insect Xiao Yu moved its huge body and slowly patrolled its own area, preparing to find a suitable place to spit out its lava. Then they could look forward to the birth of new insects in the colony.

Everyone in the pet space liked the new Xiao Yu very much, because the black flame stone belonging to Xiao Yu was placed in the public area of ​​the pet space. The special magnetic field covered all pets, and everyone could enjoy the benefit brought by the black flame stone.

Speaking of Black Flame Stones, after the mission was over, what excited the three people the most was the Black Flame Stones they brought back that filled every gap in the space.

Black Flame Stone was a resource that they wouldn’t be able to use much of even if they were to make a complete set of armor. They had already figured out how to deal with the remaining piles of Black Flame Stone, which was to sell them in exchange for survival points.

The three of them sold a small amount of Black Flame Stone on the black market, and the vast majority of them were sold directly to the Lord God. The medium-quality Black Flame Stone that filled the storage space soon turned into survival points, bringing Xia Ruize and the other two an amazing return of about 60,000 survival points each.

It could even be said that the survival points obtained by selling these Black Flame Stones were the biggest gain of this world.

With a large number of survival points, the three could better consider the next improvement plan.

The three people who had money and free time walked out of the room and came to the restaurant in Silver Page Area to relax, and happened to see Lao Shi and others again.

As expected, Lao Shi was still the center of the crowd, greeting everyone passing by. When he saw Xia Ruize and the other two from a distance, he also greeted them warmly and asked them to sit down:

“Come on, come on, Old Li is complaining about the last mission he took on. Let’s listen together.”

Surrounded by Lao Shi and others was a middle-aged man, who was drinking and complaining about the last mission world he had experienced.

Xia Ruize and the other two ordered the food they wanted and turned their attention to the middle-aged man.

“I really don’t know whether to say I’m unlucky or lucky. I met a great guy on my last mission and was led by him all the way, but in the end I don’t even know how I completed the mission.”

The middle-aged man looked depressed.

“What exactly is that?” the person next to him asked curiously.

“I went to an interstellar military mission world, but on the first day of the mission I was captured by the enemy and had no choice but to become an enemy accomplice.

I was an insider, so be it, but I didn’t do anything. I was exposed on the fifth day of the mission and was arrested and interrogated!

I could tolerate verbal interrogation, but they wanted to use physical force! I finally made up my mind to resist, but the master turned the table over.

The situation took a turn for the worse afterwards. Can you imagine? Both sides were wiped out by the master! I was almost stunned and didn’t even know how the mission ended! “

While the middle-aged man was complaining, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other several times, and finally looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

It seemed that the target of the other party’s complaints was them. Cheng Huaiqian then remembered that there was a flower country trialer who was good at arson in the previous mission world. It seemed that this person was the one in front of him.

Perhaps because they had never met in real life, their memories were not unlocked. The person who was complaining did not notice that the great man he was talking about was sitting at the next table.

The people around who were listening to the excitement were eager to ask about the ending, “What happened in the end? Did the master trick you?”

The middle-aged man half complained and half boasted:

“It’s not really a scam. The whole mission lasted 30 days. I worked hard for the first five days. The rest of the time I was responsible for watching the performances of the masters and cheering for them.

In the end, I watched the master make a killing from both sides, and I got an excellent evaluation for the main mission and two somewhat useful stones.

The only problem is that I was completely confused the entire time and had no idea what the master was doing. ”

“Damn it, you old man are here to show off, you got an excellent review, you must have woken up laughing in your sleep, you old man are so bad!”

“I’ve worked so hard in three mission worlds in a row and only got a passing grade, and you easily got an excellent grade. You must have come here just to piss me off!”

“Hey, tell me more, tell me more. What are the characteristics of the great god you met? I have to write it down. If I meet him, I will hug his thighs in the most dazzling way!”

……

Everyone was chatting and joking with laughter. Getting through a mission world safely was something worth celebrating and relaxing at any time.

After enjoying the delicious food, Xia Ruize and the other two left the Endless World as usual. They needed some rest time and sufficient thinking to better arrange the large amount of survival points they had gained.

The 70,000 survival points gained from the missions and the sale of black flame stone resources were the most they had ever seen, and they needed to arrange them well.

Back in the real world, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were also very busy because their private research institute had produced results.

After coming out of the high-tech world last time, they set up their own research institute, which was responsible for analyzing the high-tech data they obtained. Now, the first product integrating the interstellar technology of the endless world was about to be released.

Xia Ruize personally watched over the completion of the last part of the research task, and then displayed the final product in front of everyone.

“This is the final product of our recent hard work – a home medical assistance robot.”

A researcher carried the square, backpack-sized robot to the table and pushed it in front of the crowd. The screen behind him began to play an introduction to the robot:

“This robot can monitor the user’s physical condition in real time and perform basic first aid. It can even protect the user autonomously in an emergency. It is an indispensable protector at home and on the go!”

Then, the researchers personally demonstrated the various functions of the robot, and all the researchers involved in the project couldn’t help but smile.

This was the final result of their joint efforts for several months. Although they had imagined the final product in their minds during the research, it was not as exciting as seeing the final product in front of them at this moment.

As a researcher involved in the development of robots, they knew best the powerful effects of this product in actual use and were extremely optimistic about its prospects.

“Boss Xia, after the product goes into mass production, you must reserve some for our own people. I’ve been wanting to buy some back home for a long time!”

Some researchers cheered excitedly.

“Don’t worry, itll be there for us.”

Xia Ruize replied with a smile, and was immediately greeted with cheers.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian smiled at each other. Cheng Huaiqian had already contacted the factory that was ready to undertake the production of parts. It could be predicted that their products would soon be able to go from the laboratory to the factory production line and then to the sales link.

The robot named “Little Nurse No. 1” by Xia Ruize was quietly put on the shelves in the online store. Although all its functions were introduced in great detail, there was no advertising or promotion. No one noticed this new product.

The three sales in a week were more likely due to customers buying them out of curiosity to try them out.

All the researchers at the institute received three physical robots as internal rewards, which they immediately gave away to their relatives and friends.

Without saying anything else, the intelligence of Little Nurse No. 1 far exceeded all the robots you could see in the world. Not to mention its real medical function, just chatting with parents and children was fun.

The core chip technology was controlled by Xia Ruize. Researchers in charge of other details did not understand the principles, but they couldn’t help but marvel at the intelligence of Little Nurse No. 1.

The turning point first came from a video showing an old man falling to the ground on the street due to cardiac arrest, and the people around him subconsciously dispersed to the side.

Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, the square box that the old man was holding and had just been thrown to the ground suddenly transformed. Legs grew out of the box on all four sides, and it walked to the fallen old man. With a push of its slender metal legs, it placed the box on the old man’s chest, gave the old man an external defibrillation, and then performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Soon the old man woke up from his coma, passers-by gathered around him, and an ambulance arrived at the scene.

This short video was captured by a passerby and became a minor hit on local Internet channels. Most netizens were just watching it for fun, but a few people still noticed the square box that appeared in the video.

The interested parties were mainly young people. After repeatedly studying the video, they realized that the inconspicuous square box actually had first aid functions. Following the picture, they found the online store with the best-selling product and learned about this home medical assistive robot named “Little Nurse No. 1”.

The price of a small nurse robot was 889 yuan, which seemed a bit expensive.

Most people who found the online store were discouraged by the price, but a small number of young people gritted their teeth and decided to buy one for their elderly family members to try out. In case of an accident, golden rescue time was priceless.

Of course, once they actually bought it, they would find that the surprises the little nurse robot brought them were far beyond their imagination.

The second time the little nurse robot became popular was because of a piece of news. The local TV station in Jiuan City released a news report that a serious car accident occurred on a certain road. The vehicle that accidentally hit the wall was smashed to pieces and the entire car was deformed.

Battle on the Insect Planet (24): Closing the net

Another two days passed, and the federal senior officials who had been soaking in the mines all day long felt very comfortable. Under their personal persuasion and call, some senior officials who were originally hesitant and reluctant to land were also tempted and landed on Erdogan’s planet on the flagship where the general command was located.

The headquarters of this top-secret operation was built on the Federation’s highest-level spaceship, and the high-level spaceship did not seem to be greatly affected by passing through the no-fly zone.

At the leader’s order, the ship did not rush to fly away from Erdogan Planet, but instead stopped beside the camp and waited until the big shots had their fun before taking them away. After all, the officers were very concerned about their own safety and only trusted the best spaceships.

At this time, there were only a few hundred insects left on the entire planet, and the rest of the insects had taken advantage of the previous time to jump into the magma and return to the mother insect.

In contrast to the sparse insect clan, there were tens of thousands of humans.

After confirming that all targets had fallen into the traps they had set in advance, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaishen closed the net.

Gao Hexuan used the flagship’s advanced information transmission channels to directly make the Federation’s secret actions public. You know, the Federation’s top brass was on Erdogan’s planet at that time. The evidence was irrefutable, and once the information was released, all races in the universe were shocked.

Accusations from all sides flew towards the federal government like snowflakes, but the only ones left at their posts at this time were deputies who had no chance to access information about top-secret operations. They had just learned the news and were completely confused.

Deputies, overwhelmed by the demands of handling all sides, turned to questioning federal officials who were on vacation.

When the federal high-ranking officials deep in the mine learned that the situation had been exposed, they were all shocked and couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.

But the outside disturbances were no longer the top priority for them. The real pressing issue was that they found that their flagship had a problem and could not take off.

The soldiers, who had been patient for a long time, finally received the order that Cheng Huaiqian’s undercover mission was over. They immediately tore off the masks they had been wearing for a long time, grabbed those federal high-ranking officials who were eager to leave Erdogan’s planet, and angrily asked why they abandoned them and why they deliberately let them die?

Of course the panicked senior leaders would deny it, but the soldiers already knew the truth. Getting to the bottom of it was just a last ditch hope. The panicked expressions of the usually high-handed bigwigs explained everything. In extreme anger, some people could not control their fists first, and others immediately followed, and the camp was suddenly in chaos.

While the humans were in chaos, the insects’ lair had returned to peace. All humans had evacuated the area, leaving only the White Jade Insect and his hundreds of high-level insects.

The few hundred remaining insects gathered all the low-quality black flame stones scattered in several caves into one place, and then lined up to jump into the magma.

Xiao Yu swallowed up the piles of black fire stones that could not be carried away into the space, and finally took a sip of a pool of magma. Suddenly, all the magma disappeared, and only black rocks were left in its place. Xiao Yu, who stored all the energy of the entire clan, grew two circles larger.

Xiao Yu waved her tentacles and took a last look at the planet where she was born and raised, and the nest where she had lived for hundreds of years. Without much reluctance in her eyes, she turned around and dived into Xia Ruize’s pet space.

Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan did not return to the camp, but watched the excitement from a distance via a drone.

In the chaotic camp, the questions from the angry soldiers and the accusations from various races in the universe made it difficult for the federal high-ranking officials who were so complacent not long ago to cope with it. It was unknown how much damage they suffered in the chaos.

It was not that they didn’t want to resist, it’s just that they were outnumbered. What’s worse, they suddenly felt weak, as if they had just run 10,000 meters. They were so exhausted that they couldn’t even raise their hands to fight back.

What made people feel powerless was that they all knew that this was just a small scene. The real difficulty was to deal with the people and various ethnic groups. Such a death situation would only be faced after they leave Erdogan.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Now that we’ve been exposed, we should hurry up and mine out the remaining Black Flame Stones. With the Black Flame Stones in hand, we will have the capital to negotiate with the other races!”

In the chaos, an officer saw the situation clearly and immediately shouted orders to the camp commander.

Not only did their Federation need the Black Flame Stone, other races also needed it. As long as they had a large amount of Black Flame Stone in their hands, they would not be afraid of not being able to silence those people in the face of absolute interests.

Hearing this, the commander hiding in the corner gave an ugly bitter smile, showed the chains on his hands and feet, and said weakly:

“We never really owned the Black Flame Mine from the beginning to the end. Everything is fake…”

The officers’ expressions suddenly collapsed, and they asked in trembling voices, “You, what do you mean by that?”

The commander was helpless and simply repeated the unusual events that had occurred in the camp over the past month amid the chaotic background noise. As for whether his superiors believed him or not, that was not something he could consider.

Of course the federal leaders did not believe it. After the royal army from outer space received the news and landed on Erdogan to take control of the situation, the unconvinced federal leaders went to the insects’ nest in person, only to find that it was empty, without a single insect or black flame stone.

Needless to say, the people of the Federation were confused as they had to accept the reality of being tricked. Anyway, it had nothing to do with Xia Ruize and the other two who had already completed their mission and left the mission world.

Xia Ruize and the other two, who have returned to the team space in the Endless World, were receiving mission reminders:

[Main mission: Survive for 30 days

Mission status: Completed

Mission rating: Perfect

Mission rewards: 2,000 survival points; 2 free attribute points (extra reward for perfect quest rating)]

[Hidden extended mission: Eliminate the Insect Clan. It’s amazing. No matter what method you used, you finally eliminated all the insects on the Erdogan planet. The planet will thank you!

Mission status: Completed

Mission evaluation: Perfect

Mission rewards: Reward 5,000 survival points; reward for upgrading the pet space; reward all attributes +5 (extra reward for perfect mission evaluation)]

[Hidden extended mission: Clear rewards and punishments. The beautiful and gorgeous Erdogan should not be disturbed too much, and the conspiracy surrounding it should be exposed in broad daylight and punished!

Mission status: Completed

Mission evaluation: Perfect

Mission rewards: Reward 8,000 survival points; Bless once; Reward all attributes +8 (extra reward for perfect mission evaluation)]

The rewards for the hidden extended missions were indeed generous, but the three of them had gotten used to it. Even Gao Hexuan could now receive notifications of the completion of hidden extended missions without looking surprised, which was indeed a huge improvement.

“If we stand firmly on the side of the Federation from beginning to end and fight hard, we may be able to complete other hidden missions in the end.”

Cheng Huaiqian said with a smile after carefully studying the mission instructions.

“Then we have to kill them from the burrow on the first day, or take away the command earlier to avoid going to the same place repeatedly and being caught by the insects and setting traps. Of course, we can also avoid that mission and try to seize it later…”

Xia Ruize’s attention was drawn away, and he started to think along the way.

Battle on the Insect Planet (23): Enjoy

Because of this, the coalition forces two hundred years ago only dared to drive the invading Insect race to the planet Erdogan. Before the Insect queen felt the fatal threat, they used a no-fly order to block the entire planet, trapping the invading insect race to death and cutting off the possibility of the Insect queen splitting larvae to continue the race.

There was nothing wrong with this strategy. If nothing unexpected happened, after hundreds or thousands of years, the invading insects would eventually die out after exhausting the resources of the entire planet.

The only thing that the predecessors did not expect was that the Federation, which had signed the agreement, would violate the agreement and invade Erdogan’s planet again. What was even more terrible was that among the soldiers deployed to the planet there were trialers from the endless world, which caused the original foregone conclusion to change again.

Of course, the general command floating in outer space was immersed in the excitement of being one step closer to obtaining the Black Flame Stone, and was unaware of the changes happening on the planet below, thus missing the last chance to prevent the accident from happening.

After two days of rest, the soldiers in the human camp received new orders from the new ruler.

At this point, the soldiers’ resentment had calmed down a lot, and they were determined to concentrate on completing the new mission. The only problem was that the mission they received was a bit too strange. It actually asked them to act with the insects???

The enemies who were fighting each other to the death just two days ago suddenly put aside their conflicts and were gathered together to become actors in the same crew who needed to cooperate with each other. This really made the soldiers feel awkward both emotionally and physically.

Fortunately, the insects would not communicate or share the embarrassment with humans. They would only follow the orders of the mother insect and quietly arrive at the appropriate venue to cooperate in performing a plot of successive defeats and heavy casualties. They could be regarded as good actors who were serious, responsible and had no complaints.

The human side naturally performed a scene of great victory over the insect clan and singing triumphant songs.

No one could have imagined that the passionate performance of the two parties would be sent to the headquarters in outer space for the federal top brass to watch.

The superiors gave strong recognition and encouragement to the ground troops for their achievements, and praised the commander’s command ability and his smiling work attitude every time he reported on his work.

Perhaps because of the long distance and distorted communication signals, they could not see the bitterness in the commander’s eyes.

In addition to not caring about their subordinates, it turned out that the superiors were also severely insect-blind and could not distinguish different insects by their appearance. As a result, they did not realize that many of the insects in the videos were actually familiar actors.

This was because the ones who could cooperate with the performance and appear on camera were all high-level insects in the insect clan who could understand the complex commands of the queen insect. As for the ordinary fighting insects, which made up the absolute majority of the insect clan, they were queuing up to return to their nests.

At the deepest part of the insect race lair, there was a pool of special magma. The insect race that died in the previous battle would be dragged into the magma by their companions, melted into the purest energy, and then transformed into new fighting insects.

This pool of magma was actually the innate ability of the Insect Queen. The ultra-high temperature magma could melt various resources, and the pure energy extracted could be transformed into countless insects at any time.

This process was partially reversible.

Now the insects were lining up to actively enter the magma, which would also melt them. The extracted pure energy would be stored by the white jade insect. When the white jade insect finds the right place and time, this energy could be transformed into a large number of insects at any time.

Xia Ruize stood high above the magma, looking at the insects queuing to die below, feeling somewhat shocked.

No wonder the invading insect race had been able to roam the universe for such a long time, because the race had only one brain issuing orders from top to bottom, and all actions were for the survival and continuation of the race. Coupled with their natural fighting talent, they were truly a powerful race.

Xia Ruize looked at the round white jade insect beside him, which was waving its tentacles to command. When he thought that taking it away meant taking away an entire species, Xia Ruize felt a little stressed. He had already started thinking about the appropriate way to place Xiao Yu.

In addition to queuing up to return to the Insect Queen, the insects also had an important task, which was to mine black flame stones.

When Xiao Yu told Xia Ruize that the insects had mined all the black flame stones stored on the entire planet and piled them together, Xia Ruize specially recruited Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan. The three of them walked into the underground hall together. They saw that half of the space in the underground hall was occupied by large and small black stones that were shining.

Xiao Yu’s tentacles swung slightly, pointing to the black flame stones that were roughly divided into three piles, and introduced:

“Black Flame Stones have different qualities. The pile with the smallest amount is the best quality Black Flame Stone, the pile with a slightly larger amount is of slightly lower quality, and the pile with the largest amount is of the worst quality, and has the weakest stimulating effect on living things.”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walked to the best quality black flame stone and found that the quantity in the pile was really small. The large and small pieces together accounted for only about 5 cubic meters.

You could tell with your eyes that this pile of black flame stones was of the best quality. Each stone was shiny black, and there were really colorful lines spinning and dancing inside, which could make people fascinated.

“We keep the best ones for ourselves.”

Xia Ruize divided the small pile of black flame stones into four parts, with the three members of the team and the white jade insect each taking one part.

The three humans waved their hands and put their own shares into the space. The white jade insect looked at it curiously and shook its tentacles. In the end, it did not swallow the small pile of black flame stones allocated to it, but asked Xia Ruize to put it into the spiritual pet space.

After all, staying next to the Black Flame Stone in its original state would have a better and longer-lasting effect than swallowing it.

After the best quality Black Flame Stones were divided up, it was the turn of the medium quality Black Flame Stones. The volume of this pile of Black Flame Stones was obviously much larger. The high platform in the underground hall that was dedicated to the white jade insects was made of medium quality Black Flame Stones. Together with the other stones mined, it was estimated that there were about hundreds of cubic meters.

Needless to say, the three of them and the insect divided up this pile as well.

However, the three of them filled up their own storage spaces and were unable to finish packing.

The rest were all given to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu waved her tentacles, and immediately insects lined up to pour the pile of black flame stones into the lava. Although they could not take the black flame stones away, they could take away the energy after the melted stones.

As for the last pile of black flame stones with the largest volume and the worst quality, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian personally planned and designed it, and then the insects “artificially” built a mine that looked like it was full of black flame stones.

The scene had been set, and it was just a matter of getting the actors in place. The area where the human soldiers and the insects perform began to move underground.

Everything was ready. The commander took the initiative to contact the headquarters and announced that the war between humans and insects had achieved a substantial victory. The soldiers had already penetrated the insect nest and found the black flame stone mining area. Now they were fighting the final decisive battle with the insects over the ownership of the black flame stone.

The commander declared in a firm tone that he was confident that he could lead his subordinates to win a great victory and gain final ownership of the Black Flame Stone Mine!

After more than ten days of hearing good news about humanity gaining the upper hand and making victorious advances, the general command’s judgment on Erdogan’s star war situation had completely tilted towards the positive side.

Misled by the scripted videos and the commander’s words, the top federal officials had already had the illusion that the entire planet of Erdogan was already in their pockets, and naturally accepted the news that the final victory was about to come without any doubt.

In fact, the officers not only had no doubts, but also believed that the ground soldiers could move faster. Although the casualties of the soldiers were not small, there was no night on Erdogan. The soldiers should take advantage of the good time and fight around the clock to achieve results as soon as possible!

Finally, three days later, the commander excitedly reported that they had won the final victory in the racial war between humans and insect race. After destroying a large number of the insect race’s manpower, the remaining few insects had already hidden deep underground, and the entire Black Flame Mine fell into the hands of humans.

Following the commander’s report, large areas of shiny black flame stone appeared in the video sent back from the front line. The unique brilliance could not be faked, and it dazzled the senior officers of the headquarters. They wanted to stick their eyes to the screen to watch it carefully.

Of course, what they couldn’t wait for was for the spaceship to bring back the real tangible Black Flame Stone!

Under such circumstances, it was not at all strange for the commander to invite all the officers to personally land on Erdogan, go to the Black Flame Stone Mine filled with a special magnetic field to experience it for themselves, or even to personally take the Black Flame Stone away from Erdogan.

The leaders were obviously touched by what they heard, but they were also wary. After all, Erdogan’s no-fly order was still very worrying.

However, two days later, after seeing with their own eyes that the physical fitness of the soldiers mining the black flame stone on the front line had been significantly improved, the senior federation officials in outer space could no longer sit still.

Seeing is believing. The effect of the Black Flame Stone Mine was obviously much better than a single Black Flame Stone. The opportunity to access the Black Flame Stone Mine area was too rare. If they missed this opportunity, they may never have the chance again in their lifetime.

In addition, the mined black flame stones were piled up there carelessly, and they would definitely need to be transported away from Erdogan by spaceship. In this case, why not take this opportunity to go to the black flame stone mine on Erdogan to experience it themselves?

When the commander received the order to increase the security level, he responded with a proud voice but a sad expression.

He knew that his superiors had finally fallen into the Great Devil’s trap as he wished, and once they really landed on Erdogan, they would probably have no chance to leave.

But the commander had already boarded the pirate ship and could not retreat. He rubbed his face helplessly, cheered himself up, and made final preparations for the airport pick-up.

Soon, a spaceship landed on Erdogan, dropping off some high-ranking federal officials and taking away a small pile of newly mined black flame stones.

It was not that the spaceship could only carry so many Black Flame Stones, but the camp had only mined one basket of Black Flame Stones so far.

The commander gave the reason that his soldiers had just begun to learn how to mine the black flame stone, and in order to avoid damaging the black flame stone, they moved very carefully, so the mining speed was relatively slow.

This reason was reasonable. What was more important was that the officers were escorted to the Black Flame Mine as soon as they landed. They immediately felt comfortable from the inside out, full of energy and comfortable. They only cared about enjoying themselves and didn’t care what the commander said.

The senior officials of the Federation who walked into the trap step by step did not know that the enhancement effect of the Black Flame Stone on humans was not so immediate and obvious. What really made them feel comfortable and amazed was actually the ability of the phantom. They just wanted to take it for granted that it was worthy of being the precious Black Flame Stone in the legend, and it really lived up to its name.

Battle on the Insect Planet (22): Taking power

Xia Ruize no longer concealed his true feelings, and the White Jade insect was even more certain that it had been tricked. The only thing it couldn’t figure out was how and when these humans had tricked it.

The command was stripped away without any warning, and the order to retreat was given to the Insect clan without its permission. The thought of it made the Insect terrified.

Xia Ruize did not rush to answer. He waved his hand to call a drone and played a more complete version of the commander’s confession video to the White Jade insect. After the video was finished, Xia Ruize smiled gently at the White Jade insect and said:

“My lover has long said that he also wants to know why we came to this planet. We have been working hard to find the answer. Now, we want to hear what the Insect clan has to say.”

Hearing this, the tentacles of the white jade insect trembled more violently. Its black eyes stared at Xia Ruize for a while, and found that the smile on Xia Ruize’s face was not affected at all. Finally, it became discouraged and said in a low voice:

“Humans do call my species ‘invaders’. My species’ talent is to directly devour various resources, convert them into energy, and create more of my species.

Humph, we are all cosmic races, and it is only natural for us to compete for resources. Other garbage races cannot compete with our Insect race, so they unite to lock our Insect race on this planet.

What’s even worse is that they are now trying to snatch our remaining resources. We will not let them succeed no matter what!”

Xia Ruize nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask:

“It seems that the Black Flame Stone is a resource that the Federation is determined to obtain. How are you going to deal with it?”

“You want to take away our resources? Unless my insect race fights to the last insect!” The white jade insect said angrily, “In order to lock my insect race, they placed a lot of dangerous materials. Humans dare not use interstellar weapons to attack this planet, because once the planet explodes, the aftermath will inevitably affect humans themselves.

So humans can only resort to sending soldiers to land on the planet for combat. Ha, those who land on the planet can forget about leaving!”

The White Jade insect stared at Xia Ruize and explained in a threatening tone:

“For so many years, our insect race has always limited the population size to a very small level, and the entire planet still has a large amount of resources left. If those damn humans land on the planet in large numbers, all the remaining resources will be transformed into insects and become our fighting force!”

“But you’ve also heard that the soldiers sent here are all discarded by the Federation. No matter how many are consumed, humans will not feel sorry. However, the resources on this planet are limited. Once the resources are consumed, your race will be completely extinct.”

Xia Ruize analyzed patiently, then changed the subject and asked:

“Would you consider working with us?”

“Cooperation?”

The White Jade insect asked back in confusion, looking at Xia Ruize with a puzzled look in its eyes. Beat and control the insect clan first, and then discuss cooperation with them? Was this a new trick developed by treacherous humans?

“Yes, cooperation.

According to the agreement of the coalition forces at that time, the Federation had no right to enter Erdogan’s planet without permission. We will expose the Federation’s secret actions to other forces and let all races in the universe jointly sanction the Federation.

In addition, we also want to teach a lesson to the federal senior officials who personally commanded this operation, and this requires your cooperation. “

Xia Ruize suggested with interest.

“Haha, but what good will this do for my insect race?” The white jade insect said sarcastically, “The plan has been exposed. If the Federation simply reveals that there is a black flame stone here, I wonder if the other races will sanction the Federation first or unite to kill us first?”

Xia Ruize simply released a [Charming Creature] towards the weak white jade insect, “Are you willing to come with me? A large number of your kind may not survive, but at least you can survive.”

The white jade insect panicked and resisted Xia Ruize’s charm skill. It instinctively felt that this skill was not friendly to it.

After subconsciously refusing, the White Jade insect fell into deep thought because of Xia Ruize’s words, and asked back to confirm:

“You take me away? Can you really take me away? Where to?”

Xia Ruize smiled but did not answer, just looking at the white jade insect.

The white jade insect fell silent. It thought of the weirdness of these humans and looked at Xia Ruize’s determined expression. It couldn’t help but feel excited. Could he really take it away?

***

At this time, the human camp quickly returned to “normal” with the joint efforts of many soldiers, and the contact between the camp and the headquarters, which had been interrupted for many days, was finally reconnected.

The camp commander who had just been released from the interrogation room looked at the senior officers on the screen with a stiff expression. When they asked him why he had interrupted the daily briefing, he turned the background screen to the main command room and said cautiously:

“During the previous battle, there was an accidental discharge, which accidentally blew up the main command room… All the soldiers in the camp fought with all their might, and today we finally achieved a phased victory in the battle against the Insect clan, destroying a large number of Insects. The next step is to send people to explore the Insect clan nest and bring back all the Black Flame Stones!”

The commander quietly shifted the focus of the report to the achievements and expected goals, and tried to ignore the fact that the main command room was burned and there was no contact with the headquarters for two days.

As expected, the headquarters’ focus shifted to the upcoming Black Flame Stone resources, and the grim expressions of the officers all became excited.

After all, the Federation’s action against Erdogan was top secret, and even they had only just learned about it. They did not even think that there were traitors among the ground soldiers and that the entire ground camp was controlled by the traitors.

Not to mention that at this moment, the senior person in charge of the entire ground camp could be seen through the screen, and nothing seemed unusual.

The reality was that outside the screen, a group of soldiers were surrounding the officers, pointing their heavy weapons at them and threatening them unabashedly.

In order to avoid causing misunderstanding, the commanders and others who were pointed at by the weapons dared not even make unnecessary expressions, let alone report the situation.

Thus, a routine briefing ended smoothly.

The connection with the headquarters was cut off, and the officers were instantly paralyzed in their chairs. They were still injured. The murderer was watching them closely, but they did not dare to report it. There was nothing more terrible than this.

The officers who were pointed at with weapons wanted to cry but had no tears. They secretly hoped that their superiors would be able to notice their abnormalities, but reason told them that this was wishful thinking and that their superiors probably didn’t care about anything other than the Black Flame Stone.

“What do you want to do next?”

The commander looked at Cheng Huaiqian, who was sitting in a chair in the distance and no one dared to approach him within a one-meter radius, and asked weakly.

Cheng Huaiqian smiled kindly and politely, the smile that always brought success when negotiating cooperation in the business world. His tone of voice was also very gentle, but the words he said made people feel extremely bitter:

“Next, I’ll have to trouble you all to work hard to create an atmosphere where the soldiers are unstoppable, winning one victory after another, and the treasure is about to be obtained. I think when the tempting Black Flame Stone is placed before them, those masters will be willing to come and personally inspect the final results.”

Before the commander could ask more questions, Cheng Huaiqian added naturally:

“You just need to do a good job in the camp, and I will naturally take care of the cooperation with the Insect clan.”

The question “How are you going to do this?” was on the tip of his tongue, but the commander wisely swallowed it back in the end, not daring to cross the line in the slightest, for fear that his life, which was already in the countdown, would end prematurely.

Anyway, he was still useful and safe for now, so he should not jump too much.

After Cheng Huaiqian’s words were spoken, not only the commander was confused, but the other soldiers in the camp were also full of doubts. However, they were clear about one thing: Cheng Huaiqian, who possessed special abilities and means, should not be provoked.

After recognizing the situation, no one dared to question the legitimacy of Cheng Huaiqian’s control of the camp. After all, in this desolate camp that was isolated and beyond the boundaries of the law, the life that was extremely precious to oneself was just a small number in the situation reported to others.

The situation was already weird and chaotic enough, and no one was willing to risk their life to test the bottom line of those in power.

***

The white jade insect in the insect nest was getting weaker and weaker. It could feel that its vitality and mental strength were rapidly draining away. If the drain continued, it may not even be able to resist the human’s charm skills.

As time went by, the white jade insect realized that if the current situation continued, their race would inevitably be doomed to extinction.

Although this process could be delayed as long as possible, the final outcome would not be much different, because it was clear that the resources on this planet were limited.

Two hundred years ago, the previous queen insect who was about to die engraved a development plan of saving resources and limiting the size of the clan into the inherited memory. As a newborn queen insect, the white jade insect had been developing the clan according to this plan.

The result was that although these invaders were famous in the universe for their reproduction speed and number, their population size was now pitifully small.

The white jade insect knew clearly that even if the Human Federation did not suddenly intervene, they would be completely destroyed one day if they were trapped on this planet, and this was exactly the outcome that the coalition of various races wanted to see.

The federal government’s intervention may bring this outcome forward, and it was shamelessly trying to snatch away their last precious resources, which was really intolerable!

After thinking it through, the white jade insect gave up the struggle and took the initiative to tell Xia Ruize that it was willing to follow him. Then he agreed when Xia Ruize released the [Charming Creature] skill.

Since the result was predetermined, why not try the plan proposed by this insidious and cunning human? If it could survive, their invading insect clan would not be truly destroyed.

The skill was successful, and the white jade insect became Xia Ruize’s fifth pet. The moment the contract was established, Xia Ruize put the white jade insect into the [Spiritual Pet Space] to let the white jade insect feel at ease.

The huge creature named “Xiao Yu” suddenly appeared in another world and was completely dumbfounded. Even if it had accepted the huge inherited memory, it could not explain what it saw and heard.

In the spiritual pet space, the phantom Xiao Bai floated quietly to Xiao Yu’s side and released his control over Xiao Yu. The white jade insect finally realized what the hell had caught it.

The phantom could extract the vitality and mental power of a living being, and could also inject it into a living being. The White Jade insect decided not to bother with it any more because Xiao Bai had returned the vitality and mental power it had taken away.

The more real reason was that the White Jade insect had the memory of the last time it fell into the bloody world, and was very wary of Xiao Bai’s ability.

Xiao Yu reappeared in the cave with her big, bright black eyes full of intelligence. Her long, soft tentacles waved powerfully and gracefully, and she announced to Xia Ruize with full energy:

“I will have the clan dig out all the remaining black flame stones on the planet, and then I will take over the clan.”

After truly contracting the white jade insect, Xia Ruize finally understood the talents of the invading insect race. It must be said that this was really a race with unique advantages. As long as the mother insect survived, it could devour resources and accumulate energy to create a huge army of insects.

What’s more, if the colony was threatened, the insects created could be melted into energy again. The mother insect would then find a suitable place to stay dormant with the energy, waiting for the right time, and the entire colony would be able to develop again.

Even when threatened with death, the mother insect would instantly split into countless larvae and shoot into the universe at several times the speed of light. As long as one of the larvae finds a suitable planet and survives, there is hope for the continuation of the population.

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”

Battle on the Insect Planet (20)

The angry arsonist opened his mouth like a machine gun, spraying the commander and others on the other side of the screen with full firepower, and he couldn’t stop at all.

The commander, whose face was sprayed black, asked the operator to shut down the communication immediately. However, the operator was unable to do so. The operating system completely failed, and the operator could only listen to the other party’s nonsense at the screen.

The commander was really stupid if he didn’t realize the problem at this time. He didn’t expect that the saboteurs hidden among the soldiers not only mastered the bizarre arson attack method, but also controlled the star network and command operating system inside the camp!?

Realizing that the situation was not good, the commander softened his attitude, suppressed his negative emotions, and patiently asked the arsonist on the screen:

“What do you want?”

The arsonist who was spewing wildly heard this and grasped the key point. Although he didn’t know why, the attitude of the camp officials had obviously weakened. So he became even more angry, glared, and raised his voice:

“What do I want? Shouldn’t I be the one asking you what you want? Do you have the right to lynch me? I fought so hard on the battlefield, but was betrayed by the ‘people’ I trusted. What should I do? What else can I do?

I’m putting this out there. If you can’t give me a reasonable explanation and solution, don’t blame me for being rude. The worst that can happen is that we’ll all die together!”

The commander clenched his hands behind his back because of the arrogant declaration, and even broke the pen in his hand with such force.

The more confident the arsonist appeared, the more wary they became, because they didn’t know what cards the other party was holding. If they provoked the other party into revealing his cards, the result would be that both sides would suffer, which was not worth it.

The other party was a broken tile, and they were a beautiful jade. They didn’t want to confront the other party head-on.

Time passed by, the arsonist on the screen was still spewing fire with great force, the operators in the backup command room were sweating profusely, but they could not contact the main command center in outer space no matter what, and as time went by, more functions in the camp were even lost.

At this time, the human soldiers and insects at the edge of the camp were still fighting behind the protective shield, but the orders from the command room could not be transmitted to the soldiers’ mechas.

Soon, the situation in the human camp turned into a panic among the people in the backup command room. The arsonist in the main command room was spraying wildly in all directions and was invincible. Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan, who manipulated the camp network, hid in the dark, concealing their achievements and fame.

The quiet stay in the camp in recent days had given Gao Hexuan the opportunity to completely break into the star network. Now he was breaking through the layers of firewalls of the planetary resource station at the fastest speed, and gradually mastering more functions of the resource station.

When the Federation deployed soldiers to Erdogan, they had no idea that this desolate planet would have the need for cyber warfare, and they had no soldiers with relevant expertise prepared at all. As a result, everyone in the camp could only be exhausted and gradually lose control of the camp.

The soldiers fighting on the front line gradually noticed the abnormality, and the whole camp was full of weirdness.

The main command room was inexplicably occupied by someone, the backup command room no longer conveyed orders, and the attack arrangements had to rely on the most primitive logistics personnel to shout? What exactly happened in the camp?

What was even more bizarre was actually the higher-ups in the camp who knew more about the inside story. They clearly knew that someone was secretly causing trouble, and they could even vaguely guess who was causing the trouble. However, the other party was hiding in the camp and not showing up, nor did they clearly say what they wanted.

The camp’s top leaders were afraid to push the other side too far, so the situation remained at a stalemate and fell into an eerie silence.

The camp’s top leaders had no idea that the real reason behind this was that the newly arrived reinforcements had not yet fallen completely under the control of the phantom, and Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan were hiding in the dark just to delay time.

The two men and even the soldiers they released were actually hiding in the rest area. Because thousands of soldiers took turns fighting and resting, there were always a large number of sleeping cabins in use in the rest area. None of the soldiers coming and going noticed anything abnormal in the rest area.

Another two cosmic days passed, and Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan finally walked out of the rest area and ran into a group of senior camp leaders led by the commander.

The commander’s eyes widened when he saw Cheng Huaiqian. He was about to scold him for daring to show up and was about to order his subordinates to arrest him when he saw Cheng Huaiqian smile at him meaningfully and snap his fingers handsomely. The next second, except for the commander himself, all other humans in the camp fell into a coma and collapsed to the ground.

They had been collectively dragged into the bloody world by the phantom.

The humans in the fierce battle suddenly became silent, and some mechas even fell to the ground due to improper operation by their users.

Day by day, the phantom’s control over humans within its range of influence becomes stronger and stronger, eventually reaching a point where it could drag humans into the bloody world without them having to be in a sleeping state.

The commander looked around in disbelief, and then saw that the insects surrounding the camp did not take the opportunity to attack the camp, but instead retreated like the tide.

Battle on the Insect Planet (19): Resistance

The commander was so angry that he almost choked and his expression was distorted.

The commander knew clearly that the no-fly order would have a huge impact on foreign humans and would destroy human spaceships. Once a spaceship landed on the surface of Erdogan and left, it would not only be unable to carry too much cargo, but would also need to be repaired as soon as possible.

As a result, the expensive spacecraft became disposable items under the influence of the no-fly order.

Under such harsh conditions, the top leaders of the Federation would certainly not be willing to waste too many spaceships on Erdogan, which meant that the number of humans who could eventually be picked up by spaceships from Erdogan would only be a small number of the humans deployed.

In the commander’s mind, the advance troops of the pioneer team were similar to soldiers like Cheng Huaiqian. They were consumables whose fate was already determined. They should make contributions, but if they jumped out to show off their contributions, it was not right and not allowed.

Therefore, the commander was extremely angry about Cheng Huaiqian’s non-cooperation and felt that his authority was questioned and challenged.

If the brain’s memory could be completely obtained by surgically dissecting the human brain, the commander would definitely not waste time here with Cheng Huaiqian.

Feeling provoked and extremely angry, the commander signaled the interrogators to use some drastic measures against these suspicious targets.

Xia Ruize, who was far away in the underground Insect clan lair, became nervous. He could know what was happening in the human camp through the mind network, but he didn’t know if he could successfully create an illusion remotely…

Unexpectedly, the first person to resist was not Cheng Huaiqian or Gao Hexuan, but another trialer hidden among the surviving soldiers.

His disguise was successful, even Xia Ruize and others did not doubt that he was not a native. With his personal safety threatened, this experienced trialer could no longer endure it and attacked directly. His specialty was fire power, and with a wave of his hand, several fireballs enveloped the interrogators, and he immediately eliminated several interrogators in his interrogation room.

The technology in this mission world was advanced, but the individual military power was relatively weak. The unsuspecting interrogators were killed in the sea of ​​fire without any resistance.

The trialer immediately untied the chain that restricted his movements, and rushed out of the interrogation room as the alarm sounded. He knew that he was running out of time, and he had to create more chaos in the situation before the humans in the camp could react in order to protect himself. Otherwise, he was not sure if he could withstand the attack of the mecha.

The trialer rushed out of the interrogation room and was besieged and pursued by the guards, and killed his way to the command room of the human camp. A huge fire caused chaos in the entire command room. He took advantage of the chaos to rush into the command room and closed the protective shield of the camp.

The incident happened too fast and too suddenly. Before the soldiers in the command room could react, the anti-life shield protecting the camp had dissipated into the air. The humans and Insect clan who were fighting across the anti-life shield were stunned for a moment. In the end, the Insect clan, who had only the thought of attacking in their minds, seized the opportunity and rushed into the camp desperately. Suddenly, the human camp was in chaos.

This move was too radical. When the shrill alarms rang in the camp, the commander in the interrogation room was still at a loss as to what had happened. After hearing the report from his men, the commander’s mind went blank for a moment, and then he angrily shouted:

“After the shield is turned off, won’t you turn on the backup? Now! Immediately! Turn on the second shield!”

The subordinate, covered in cold sweat, replied weakly in a low voice:

“The traitor who set the fire locked the command room and hid inside. Now no one can operate the camp’s protective shield…”

“Stupid!” The commander was so angry that his face turned pale. He quickly gave orders, “Force the main command room to be closed, activate the backup command room, and immediately open the second protective shield!”

While reprimanding, the commander finally remembered that the authority to activate the backup command room was in his hands. He hurriedly ran out of the interrogation room and ran towards the backup command room surrounded by his subordinates.

The commander left and the camp underwent a drastic change. The remaining interrogators looked at each other in bewilderment and did not even bother to greet Cheng Huaiqian. They walked to the door with trepidation and looked nervously into the distance.

At this time, the human camp was in chaos. Some soldiers who were taking a break were even killed by the insects that rushed into the camp before they could react. Without the protection and bonus of the metal mecha, the fragile human body was powerless to resist the sharp sickles of the giant insects.

All the mechas that could be activated were trying their best to kill the insects that rushed into the camp, but the Insect clan, who had finally gained the opportunity to break into the human camp after accumulating a large number of their own lives, were not willing to give up this good opportunity and rushed into the camp fearlessly.

Cheng Huaiqian pulled with both hands, and the chains on his wrists and ankles were violently torn off. He stood up and walked silently behind the interrogators who were crowded at the door and paying attention to the battle situation, and asked in a friendly tone: “What are you looking at?”

“Why hasn’t the backup shield been activated yet…”

The interrogator was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned his head in shock and happened to see Cheng Huaiqian giving him a friendly smile. He raised his hand and knocked hard. The interrogator, who finally reacted, felt a blackout and lost consciousness.

Fortunately, his colleagues quickly followed him and fainted on the ground with him.

Cheng Huaiqian quickly walked out of the interrogation room and met with Gao Hexuan who had freed himself. He locked the commander’s location and became one of the few leisurely people in the chaotic camp.

The human soldiers saw them and thought they were just comrades from different teams, so they didn’t attack them. The insects saw them and felt the scent of the little white insects on them, so they thought they were their own insects and didn’t attack them. So the two of them walked around the chaotic camp leisurely as if they were in a deserted place.

The commander finally used his authority as the highest commander of the camp to forcibly close the main command room and activate the backup command room. Soon, the anti-life protection shield rose again. However, in addition to human soldiers, there were also a large number of insects that had broken into the protection circle of the anti-life protection shield and were not dealt with.

Looking at the chaotic camp on the screen, the commander gave an order with a fierce expression: “Deal with them all immediately!”

The adjutant didn’t dare to offend his superior at this time. He didn’t even dare to say anything extra and just took the order and left.

When the human soldiers finally found time to clean up the camp, the huge losses they tallied made the officers in the backup command room look unhappy.

Not to mention the loss of personnel, some soldiers were not careful to protect the key connection positions of the mechas when fighting a large number of insects at close range, and were attacked by the insects, resulting in the destruction of the mechas and the deaths of people in a very short time.

In addition, during the short eight minutes when the camp’s protective shield was missing, a large number of buildings in the camp were destroyed by insects. Even the warehouse dedicated to storing energy was found by the insects and destroyed.

The main command room was still under the control of the traitor, and the raging fire could not be put out. If it continued to burn, the main command room would become a pile of ashes.

Even the remaining traitors who were locked up in the interrogation room escaped inexplicably. Now they couldn’t find out whether they were hiding in the camp or had left the camp with the insects…

The young commander lowered his proud head and finally admitted that he had greatly underestimated the difficulty of the enemy. After learning from his mistakes, he immediately decided to contact the headquarters in outer space and apply for support.

In the small and crowded backup command room, the operator was ordered to connect to the main command center. After five seconds of waiting, what appeared on the screen was not the main command center located on the spaceship in outer space, but the main command room of the camp with a blazing flame as the background. Occupying the entire screen was the traitor who escaped interrogation and occupied the main command room.

The commander and others stared at the traitor’s huge face on the screen in amazement, frantically studying the movements of various operating buttons. Soon, the other party also discovered them, and his movements suddenly froze. He stared back at the commander and others in surprise, and the two sides stared at each other across the screen.

“What’s going on!”

The adjutant came to his senses and angrily rebuked the soldier who was operating the device. They wanted to connect to the main command center, not to see the hateful face of the traitor. Once they put out the fire in the main command room, they would see where he could run to!

The operating soldiers were busy operating, but no matter how they switched, the other side of the screen was always the main command room with a fire as the background.

Seeing this, the arsonist was no longer nervous. He leaned back in the command chair with a relaxed body, looking at the commander and others with a mocking expression.

When the operating soldiers replied with tears in their eyes that they could not get in touch with the main command center in space no matter what, the expressions of everyone in the backup command room changed completely.

The news of the Insect clan invading the camp was not as terrifying as the news that they couldn’t connect to the headquarters!

After all, if the insects rushed in unexpectedly, they still had a chance to drive them out, but if they could not connect to the headquarters, it would mean that the camp would become a completely isolated city, unable to get support, and even without a way to retreat.

“Hahahaha, let me guess, you must have run into bigger trouble, hahahaha, you deserve this day! You deserve it!” The trialer laughed wantonly.

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves! Everything was fine before you came. Didn’t we fight desperately for living space to build this base?

As a result, we were let to have pigs in command. What rubbish! One order led to our annihilation!

It’s really an insult to pigs to say this, pigs can command better than them!

We finally managed to escape, but what happened? Instead of letting the pigs lead us, we let the birds with smaller brains lead us? They locked us up right away? And tortured us to extract confessions? Why don’t you just die?

Why do you treat us like this?!”

The fire starter became more and more angry. Why was this mission so damn difficult? If he had not already used up his chance to refuse the mission this year, he would have definitely refused to continue to participate in this mission!

The fact was just as he guessed, the development of this mission was simply not something a human could do. He worked so hard and seriously, and followed the requirements of the natives of the mission world to fight when he was asked to, and to fight as many times as he was asked to. But in the end, he was captured by the enemy on the first day?

When he fell into the insect nest, he was completely confused, and even more confused about the subsequent series of developments. Insects were actually rebelling against humans these days? Whywas this mission world so fantastic and not scientific at all?

The fantastic result was that he was locked up in the interrogation room, and during the torture, the long period of irritability and anger made him unable to endure it any longer, so he decided to resist. Since he was not allowed to live well, then let the entire camp be buried with him!
