Chapter 618: Chapter 187: Trapped in the Insect Man Nest
"What kind of major event is happening next door that so many Insect Men breached the dangerous grounds and desolate star system to reach here."
"I can’t understand the battlefield, can someone who keeps up with the facts explain it? Keep it concise and humorous, easy to understand."
"No intel, can’t figure it out."
"So many Insect Men, the commentator still has time to escape, proving that the forces are sufficient. Don’t know the scale of this attack, does Admiral Bai have a strategy?"
"The front line is too complex, don’t guess blindly. If you guess wrong, it becomes a rumor; be careful not to end up in detention."
Mr. Niu’s roar drew Xing Miao’s attention.
Xing Miao said in the group chat, "I will first cover for ordinary people and direct them to the shelter."
The Mecha rapidly descended, shielding against a tentacle thrust out by an Insect Man.
It was a Flat Lizard Insect Man, with a flat body, like a sea anemone, and its tentacles had many branches, with densely packed barbs capable of capturing more life forms simultaneously.
Their movements were also similar to sea anemones, with tentacles brimming with lethal intent all around.
Xing Miao observed the surroundings, and the Navigator said, "Flat Lizard Insect Man, the weak point is at its base. The best method is to cut all the tentacles and flip it over."
Xing Miao: "..." Such an explosive method, why is her Navigator so aggressive? She wondered if she had ever shown any violent tendencies.
In a daze, as the Navigator suggested, she sliced the Insect Man into pieces, flipped it over, and killed it.
The personality resourceful Navigators developed might not be the softest companion for the Mecha Master but undoubtedly the best partner.
Xing Miao felt she had completely changed, cooperating with the Navigator, fully moving towards a violent approach.
The competitors, seeing Xing Miao saving people while killing Insect Men, felt suddenly competitive.
The Divine Woman, this guy, has the best ideas.
They were right to do the same.
Xing Miao released the Detection Ball, expanding the search range, then said, "For Jun Hui’s team, can you assist trapped soldiers at the specified coordinates?"
The tone of seeking help was far from the Divine Woman’s style, but just imagining her cold demeanor made people subconsciously compliant.
Both men and women couldn’t refuse the Divine Woman’s murmurs, like an oracle, and those who received it would ardently follow her orders.
...
Su Xiaocai was still concerned about her apprentices’ situation, Wu Qingqing and the group were dismantling the second signal tower. Her score was the highest, and no one expected that the early dark horse would be Wu Qingqing.
Feng Wansha was also incredibly effective, using discarded machinery from the Mechanical Planet to create countless traps. The Insect Men that died by her hands were not fewer than Wu Qingqing’s, except the final blow often went to others.
Hu Ping’s progress was stuck. The energy system was operational, but the exploration team couldn’t advance; they planned to head towards the residential area.
There must be something significant over there; human settlement is their dining area.
There were three tunnels leading there, which had all collapsed internally, likely during the fight to buy escape time.
The decision now was whether to dig it open or blow it up.
Admiral Bai said, "Sever it."
Skipping the preset procedures? Hu Ping said to his teammates, "Has the situation changed?"
"Brother Hu, what are you saying?" The temporary teammate only had tasks in mind, without the capacity to ponder why to do this task.
At that moment, Hu Ping especially missed the other Vegetable Farmers; without someone to discuss things with, something felt missing.
Once the mission came down from above, it had to be executed. He and the other team members began to sever the entire training ground area.
As for Ji Heng and the Big Demon, they had just descended the ladder shaft to the basement level, when an Insect Man lurking at the door attacked, the Big Demon crouched to dodge the incoming projectile.
The projectile hit inside the shaft, it was a huge server cabinet, extremely heavy, if struck by it, it would be akin to a missile hitting the body directly.
Following up, another cabinet came hurtling over, spinning rapidly, Ji Heng quickly grabbed it, and threw it back.
"Smack." A long tentacle swatted the cabinet down.
Only then did they see what was attacking them.
Two Insect Men that looked much like moths clinging to the walls; their wings were not spread but already large enough, with eight entirely blue eyes and two tentacles like metallic whips waving behind them.
"Evil Insects." A generic term for these Insect Men, usually guard dogs of the Insect Mother, characterized by blue eyes and possessing extremely terrifying dynamic vision.
Where there’s an Evil Insect, there’s likely a subspace nearby, also indicating there’s probably an Insect Man with space traversal ability here, requiring no carelessness.
The Big Demon said, "One each?"
"No, find the Mecha first." The mission is more important than killing Insect Men.
"It’s too difficult to get through them unharmed," said the Big Demon.
