Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"Today's practice is over."

She thought of her teammates waiting for her to return, and of Honeydew Melon.

"Hurry up, we can't let them worry."

"Mom, I will protect everyone."

Fairy Boat, Golden Man Alley.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Su Chang quickly apologized to a man who was as handsome as the reader.

Yu Mo picked up the string of Qiong Shi birds that had fallen to the ground, and his imaginary energy swept over it.

Hmm, it tastes good.

He waved his hand, "It's alright, you didn't do it on purpose. May I ask your name, young lady? I'm just here for a trip to Xianzhou."

How could I not know who she is? Let's just go through the motions, okay?

"Oh, hello! Just call me Su Chang."

Su Chang said hesitantly, "How about I treat you to a meal as compensation?"

Anime girls are cute, but it's unnecessary.

"No need, I'm going to continue enjoying the scenery. Goodbye, see you again someday."

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at another region.

Looking up, you can see the Pinocchio Theatre.

"Huh, where did he go!" Su Chang scratched her head, puzzled. How could such a big person just disappear like that?

Am I hallucinating?

"The Embers of Grammer"

"Requesting support"

"Command center, Firefly Team Four has spotted the mother insect."

"Repeated, requesting support"

"Firefly Team 2 has lost its signal!"

The communication channels were cluttered with commands.

A young girl was panting heavily, sweat forming droplets on her face.

[Star: Firefly, you are my firefly.]

[Firefly: Star... (blushing)]

Silver Wolf: Grammer, it seems to be the story of Fireflies.

The scene shifts, and Sam appears on the battlefield, standing on a mountain of insect corpses.

She propped herself up with a clenched fist, having lost track of how long she had been fighting.

Behind them, various types of fighter jets fired lasers, shooting down swarms of flying insects.

Sam the mech stood up, and swarms of insects flew rapidly around it.

Several fighter jets exploded instantly.

He swung his fiery fist and smashed the charging insects.

But there were too many of them to kill them all. Taking advantage of a gap, they suddenly rammed into Sam's back, causing him to stumble several times.

[Wendy: So this is the Zerg you guys were talking about! Seeing is believing, it's incredible.]

[Rin: That's too many! How can we possibly kill them all?]

[This is just the lowest tier, the most worthless cannon fodder units.]

The swarm seized the opportunity and rushed in, but another SAM mech arrived to save the day and disperse the swarm.

The girl inside the mecha stared blankly.

The mech turned its head and said, "Stand up. The target is just ahead. Continue the breakout."

“Yes,” Firefly replied loudly.

Follow closely in the footsteps of the other Sams, running against the flow of the swarm.

The battlefield is merciless; artillery fire relentlessly shatters the mechs.

But we cannot back down; only by moving forward can we end the war.

Paimon: This is war. How cruel.

[Mavika: Even with heavy casualties, we cannot back down; we must win, for Nata!]

For Nata!

Zhongli: There is no right or wrong on the battlefield; only strength can protect the peace of a region.

Firefly followed the others as they rushed out of the defensive line, and what lay before them was—

A giant true cricket, comparable in size to a continent.

An indescribable fear swept in as wings spread, overwhelming and terrifying.

The swarm of insects hidden behind the giant worm was overwhelming, dazzling to behold.

[Rin: That's terrifying! Can someone really beat someone that big?]

[Barbara: My God, this is bigger than Mondstadt and there are countless swarms of insects. This is a natural disaster.]

How can we possibly fight against this? I don't even want to think about it.

I'd only ever heard of global locust plagues before, but they never really impressed me. Now I'm truly awestruck.

[Black Tower: It's so small, it's not even an Overlord, at most a minor commander in the Zerg.]

[Himeko: Even the smallest Ohmu are about the size of a planet, so this isn't really that big.]

[Zhe: Suddenly I realize that even Hai is nothing special.]

The rapidly approaching insect instantly destroyed the Sam mech in front of it.

The group managed to hold them off with their combined strength.

Liu Ying and another person defended each other back to back.

The man said to the firefly, "Cover me as I approach the mother insect."

After saying that, he handed her a key and told her to start the machine as soon as she saw the signal.

Sam quickly weaved through the swarm of insects, approaching the mother insect.

Flames erupted from beneath his feet, shooting skyward to face the mother insect.

The mother insect's barb alone pierced through it.

Liu Ying opened her eyes wide, unable to believe it.

The SAM mech did not sit idly by and wait for its death. With its last bit of strength, it removed its mask, which was also the positioning device, and threw it towards the mother insect.

"The agreement has been approved..."

"Execute scorched earth tactics..."

A voice suddenly rang out, "...For Her Majesty the Empress."

The key in Liuying's hand regained its signal, and she pressed it without hesitation.

A beam of light descended from the sky, locked onto the mother insect, and instantly destroyed her.

The powerful energy instantly destroyed everything nearby, including insects, and the scorching aftershocks sent fireflies flying.

[Hu Tao: This...this is also a weapon? Is this power really achieved through technology?]

My goodness, this is scorched earth warfare.

[Ring: It's true that it could scorch the entire landmass; this weapon is invincible.]

[March 7th: What other SAMs were with the Zerg swarm? Are they all gone?]

[Dr. Truth: Sam was a manufactured weapon, and every clone has a fatal flaw in their body; the entropy loss syndrome that Firefly suffers from is likely it.]

[Xianyun: With such powerful technology, perhaps only this kind of approach can be used to fight against the Zerg swarm.]

[Star: Firefly, I'm so glad you're alright. Can I come find you?]

[Firefly: Okay, then we'll keep in touch by phone.]

In the scorched earth, countless girls, like fireflies, will never wake up again.

Liu Ying slowly opened her eyes and struggled to get up from the ground.

His eyes were lifeless; he had lost all faith.

She murmured, "Am I... dead?"

Slowly shifting the viewpoint, everything was gone, except for the corpses of those girls.

"Who died...?"

A figure emerged from the smoke ahead. It was a short-haired girl who walked towards Liuying with a staggering gait, her left hand clutching a wound on her stomach.

A blank expression, "Born to fight...that is the glory of the Grammer Knights..."

Unable to hold on any longer, he knelt down.

Even so, he still recited military regulations, saying, "For... Her Majesty the Empress..."

Until there was no breath left.

Chapter 62 Fireflies Flying Towards the Flame, Living Against Death!

(Holy crap, guys! Could Ong Faros really be connected to Nguyen Mai?!)

(Gallach is dead, will Mianmian die too?)

[Ambi: So many fireflies. So she's a clone too, used as a weapon as well.]

[PhD: I wonder if this technique could make my slices stronger; it's very valuable for research.]

[March 7th: Does being a clone mean you can't be treated like a human? What's with all this talk about everything for the Queen?]

[The Black Tower: Weapons born for war, bound by the Empress from their inception, they possess no human emotions, existing solely to protect the Empire and Titania.]

[Fireworks: Who would have thought that Firefly, a weapon, would develop emotions?]

[Star: Firefly should live for herself; she is not a weapon.]

[Twiggy: Living for myself, hah, can I really still do that?]

[Elhesen: This so-called queen, from another perspective, isn't she just a mother insect?]

[My Firefly, you just won the revival match, and now you're going to kill me again.]

[Star: That's mine, mine! Don't you dare try anything with my firefly.]

[Firefly: Star, that's too flashy. (shyly)]

There is no Grammer Empire; it's just a dream woven by the Empress. How pathetic.

[Hu Tao: Ah, even after death they live in dreams, those people are truly despicable!]

[Look what I found! Grammer's Code, Article 22: A knight shall give everything to Her Majesty the Queen—including death.]

Watching life slip away.

Tears welled up in Liu Ying's eyes. Why?

Why am I crying? It's because it speaks to our destiny: to die in battle.

Everything is dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen.

Therefore, the tearful firefly raised its own question.

"Why...did he/she die..."

Rows of incubation chambers were filled with girls being created.
