There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

It is common sense that a person will not die immediately from a damaged trachea, but the picture he presented was really too weird.

The bloody hole on his neck was still gushing out blood, and although his eyes were wide open, he did not give the impression of being in great pain.

On the contrary, his lively pupils were rolling around and twisting irregularly. Although there was blood foam coming out of his mouth, he did not give people a feeling of suffocation or wanting to breathe in deep air. He was... too calm.

"No..." The soldier finally shook his head in disbelief and murmured in a difficult tone: "It can't be like this, God... Oh, no..."

"I suspected it from the beginning... and it turned out to be true."

Kitahara Sora showed an understanding expression and sighed slightly, "The bugs should be attacking Yukino and the others with all their strength. How could they know our plan? How could they spare some of their strength to attack us?"

"Well, that... Boss." The spirited young man Sanchi Dahe swallowed hard, hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Beiyuan Kong glanced at him, then suddenly stretched out his hand and thrust it into the soldier's eye socket...

"Pfft..."

As blood splattered everywhere, Beiyuan Kong used his eye sockets as the dividing point and violently tore his skull apart...

“Crack—sizzle…”

The sound of the skull shattering was accompanied by an extremely disgusting and sticky sound like peeling an orange. The skull of this "corpse" was pried open by Kitahara Sora with brute force!

This extremely disgusting and bizarre scene was so unbearable that Kazami Yuji couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he still suppressed the discomfort in his heart and kept his eyes fixed there.

The three newcomers almost made vomiting sounds.

However, the disgusting red and white scene they expected did not appear, and what came into their eyes was an even more horrifying scene!

As soon as the skull of the corpse was opened, a strange, pitch-black spider-like insect immediately jumped out and pounced on Kitahara Kongmian at lightning speed.

But while it was still flying in the air, it was held tightly in the air by Beiyuan Kong, and the insect's body kept twisting, and its sharp mouthparts desperately bit Beiyuan Kong's mouth.

But a small insect like it is not an offensive fighter after all. Even if its jaws were broken, it could not leave any scratches on the power armor.

As the arm armor exerted more and more force, disgusting green juice came out, and the spider began to struggle violently, making a creepy "hissing" sound from its mouthparts.

When I looked at it in a flash, I found that the corpse had no brain at all.

When he was parasitized, the worm ate his head and replaced the function of his brain. This man was completely a puppet of the worm!

"I almost overlooked this bug. How could I forget such a classic scene?"

Kitahara Sora threw the bug to the ground and crushed it with a "snap".

"Dominator, no wonder our plan was leaked. No wonder we were the only ones besieged. I wanted to try my luck, but I actually ran into him..."

Or was it Lieutenant Frank who had just died who reminded Kitahara Sora why the actions were known to the insects and why they were the only ones being besieged?

Why did the insects seem to have been waiting for a long time when I arrived? Because all this was happening right under their noses, and my location was actually exposed to the insects' sight?

The reason was that in the previous battle, after the Pulse Scorpion shielded its electronic system, the visor fire control system failed. Many people turned on their visors to fight, and it was very likely that they were parasitized during that time.

Kitahara Sora turned his head to look at the surviving soldier, and the soldier immediately shook his head like a rattle, opened his visor to reveal a panicked face, and screamed: "No, no, I didn't. I was not parasitized!!!"

Chapter 4: Isolated and Helpless ()

The swarm of Zerg behind him was still chasing him relentlessly, and the dense jumpers in the sky were still continuously releasing suicide beetles. The deafening sound of the explosions was transmitted into the fully enclosed armor, making it seem a little dull.

Takuto Aso was driving the mecha with great concentration. His face was solemn and his expression was serious under the visor. He was trying hard to avoid the bomb above his head, and fine beads of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

No one spoke in the cabin, even the armored voice was silent. The scene of Kitahara Sora killing his teammate was recorded by the camera on the helmet and transmitted completely to the eyes of every mobile team member.

'The Ruler', a terrifying name.

These worms do not have much fighting power. When they crawl out of the eggs, they are only the size of a ping-pong ball. After drilling into the human mouth, they will instantly kill the human and parasitize it.

In less than an hour, they can grow from the size of a sphere to the size of an adult's palm, replacing the brain's job and becoming the new masters of that body.

I remember there is a kind of 'Betty parasite' that lives in symbiosis with fish. It enters the fish's mouth through the gills, slowly eats away the fish's tongue and replaces it. The ruler and that kind of parasite have the same function.

The most terrifying thing is that the parasitic person cannot show any abnormality. After the ruler eats the brain, it will completely absorb the person's memory or life trajectory and pass it to the brain worm in a data-like form. Then the body becomes a tool of the Zerg!

In other words, in the war between these two civilizations, the Zerg understand their opponents best compared to humans.

At this moment, a discordant sound began to come from the headset. It would have been fine if no one started talking, but when someone started talking, the atmosphere became wrong because suspicion and doubt followed.

When a gunshot sounded in my eardrums, the noisy sound in the microphone returned to silence again. The people in the drilling mecha saw from the projection screen inside the cabin that an armored vehicle lost its balance in an instant, slowed down and was submerged by the swarm of insects...

"Do we need to open the top cabin again?" Takuto Aso asked with difficulty.

"No need."

Bei Yuankong stared at the display and radar intently, and the uneasiness in his heart was suddenly magnified countless times. Then he exhaled, looked at the electronic map and asked softly: "Where is our target?"

"Target?" Aso Takuto was stunned. "I don't know. There will be air support in about 10 minutes. As for the direction, it's heading south. There is a large canyon about 10 kilometers away."

"How long can we hold out?"

Hui released the turret controller and replied, "We have run out of ammunition. Also, due to the 'internal strife', the fire suppression of the other vehicles has become chaotic."

"So the bugs still haven't caught up, right?"

As soon as Beiyuan Kong finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Everyone felt that his words had a special meaning, as if they understood something, but also as if they were just a little bit away from fully understanding?

Feng Jian frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Kitahara Sora once again turned his gaze to the radar, and glanced at the last soldier in the car who had been knocked unconscious by him, and explained softly: "Before, I proposed to open the top cabin because I wanted to solve the threat from the sky as soon as possible. Now it seems fortunate that I did not do so."

Aso Takuto shook his head, confused: "I still don't understand."

"Because the bugs won't destroy us at all, they are looking for us."

"Looking for us?"

At this time, Hui's eyes widened and he said in a surprised tone: "They are looking for us! They want to find us among the soldiers of the Eighth Corps!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately understood. Kazami Yuji even broke out in a rare cold sweat. So that's what it is!

There were so many jumpers in the sky, but why did the suicide beetles they threw explode around the vehicles every time? The one above Frank's head could be said to be an accident. All of this was precisely calculated by them.

Why do the swarm of insects that are chasing us maintain the 'right' distance? They can obviously be faster!

They are forcing the 'humans' with super powers hiding in this team to show up!

Why did the bugs determine that the "superpower" was in this team? Because they knew that the original purpose of this team was to find the nest, and they went to the experimental base specifically because their companions were trapped there!

The Zerg easily saw through Bei Yuankong's lies and used them to their advantage. Suppose Bei Yuankong opened the hatch and threw a black hole bomb into the sky, or shot arrows into the sky...

Then this group of insects will immediately destroy other vehicles with great force, and then completely surround the drilling mecha!

Because of Kitahara Sora's performance on the battlefield, the bugs learned that there were special humans. When they unexpectedly met Yukino, they didn't know at first that this team was going to rescue Dr. Aiden Jerry.

Because of Kitahara Sora's performance on the battlefield, they temporarily decided to surround and capture him alive in order to study this extremely powerful human being, but they didn't expect that they would be wiped out by Yukino.

In order to keep it secret, Yukino asked Rick to shut down all communication recording systems. Although their actions were not known to humans, the insects knew all this information.

After confirming that this group of people were trapped, their companions on the other side of the battlefield would definitely find ways to rescue them, so this scene happened...

"They're forcing us to take action, Aso. There's no need to try to dodge the explosions. They won't really bomb us." Kazami sighed, "Are they really just bugs?"

"They can fight technologically advanced civilizations on equal terms. Such a race cannot be compared to the bugs in ordinary movies and TV shows."

Kitahara Sora sighed, "He wants to get Aiden Jerry, but he also wants to capture Yukino and us alive. He's a bit greedy."

"That's not right. Since the strength that the captain showed on the battlefield before made them wary, why did they force us to show up?" Aso Takuto asked in confusion: "Shouldn't they do their best to eliminate us?"

"Three reasons." Beiyuan Kong held up three fingers. "First, they don't know where we came from. Rather than being afraid of us, they are more curious about us.

Second, they don't know how many of us there are, or whether we are really the latest research results of mankind. If so, they must not kill us. We are more valuable alive than dead. Because if they kill us, there will continue to be super-strong individuals of human beings. Suppose one day, people like us appear in groups? Or even form an army? At that time, will they have no room for resistance?

Third, no matter what era the war is in, the most important factor that determines success or failure is "information". The Zerg are a civilization rather than a single group. They know everything they should know. Perhaps in their eyes, humans at this stage are inferior creatures. These three reasons are enough for them to "take the risk".

Thinking of this, Kitahara Sora felt a little relieved about Yukino. They knew how terrifying Yukino was, so while they wanted to encircle and suppress her at all costs, they must have had various considerations.

If they want to capture her alive, they must have a more careful plan. Kitahara Sora even suspected that the intelligent species among them had begun to study blizzards through the images transmitted by the "Warrior" before.

So Yukino is safe for now? Although there will be danger sooner or later, she is safe for now!

"There is another question." Hui thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Since they know that our purpose is to find the Queen of Insects, then..."

Beiyuankong looked at the radar and said coldly: "Aren't they driving us towards the nest?"

"Drive them to the insect nest..." Aso Takuto immediately reacted and said in surprise, "The Grand Canyon ten kilometers away! The perfect location for air support!"

"Send the coordinates there to the command center and tell them that we have found the hive. Have them concentrate their firepower on bombing that place. It would be best if they use orbital cannons to cover the area. At least they should blast a hole in the planet! Also, the signal will be interrupted over there, and support aircraft will not be able to fly in."

Beiyuankong paused for a moment and continued, "After sending the location, check whether the first stage of the side quest is completed. If you must find the exact location of the Queen of Insects, then don't do this quest."

He glanced at the three newcomers behind him, then calmly shifted his gaze.

If this is the case, then I can only abandon you. Sorry. You who have not yet been strengthened are not considered members of the 'Azeroth' system. Hui's 'Shadow Curtain' cannot cover your figures. This is also a helpless move.

Aso Takuto nodded slowly, opened the armored voice channel and successfully connected to the command center. When he finished reporting the exact location of the insect nest at an extremely fast speed, the observer's cold reminder came to everyone's mind...

"Izumo Squad's side quest: Identify the hidden hatching site of the Zerg on MP-2, find the location of the Zerg Queen, and report the coordinates to the Allied Forces. Stage 1 conditions completed, enter stage 2 of the side quest."

"Mission objective (stage 2): Go deep into the Zerg nest (hard condition) 1. Kill or capture the Zerg queen; 2. Destroy the Zerg breeding grounds by yourself. If you complete one of the two, the second stage objective of the side quest will be considered achieved."

"This branch is a series of tasks. There is no reward for completing the staged goals. The rewards will be distributed uniformly after completing all tasks."

Aso Takuto stopped reporting and stared blankly at Kitahara Sora: "Do you still want to suggest using railgun bombardment?"

What he meant by this was, should we continue? Although destroying the insect nest would complete the mission, the tricky thing was that we had to go deep, and it had to be destroyed by members of the Izumo team?

Let's assume that after we go deep into the hive, the universe uses the rail gun without warning, then everyone will die without a burial place. Even if we don't enter for the time being, will it be considered a mission failure if humans destroy it directly?

And even if the coalition forces did not use firepower coverage, it was self-evident what was waiting for everyone.

Chongzi knew what the purpose of these ten teams was. Since he knew that they were looking for their base camp, he still drove Beiyuan Kong and the others there. What does this prove?

Just when Kitahara Kong was in a mess, the drilling mecha that was driving smoothly suddenly trembled. The shaking was so strong that even Hui was caught off guard and almost staggered. He subconsciously reached out to grab Kitahara Kong.

"The swarm has become aggressive!" Aso Takuto stared at the display in the driver's seat and said in surprise: "The swarm has begun... to attack with all their strength!"

"Why?!" Beiyuan Kong looked at the monitor with a puzzled look on his face. The swarm of insects behind him was rushing towards him like chicken blood, and the distance of the steady pursuit was getting closer and closer...

Hui left Kitahara Sora's arms and thought for less than three seconds before speaking, "Ms. Aso's report! We've been exposed!"

"Exposed..."

Kitahara Sora's breathing stagnated, because the message reported to the command center must be reported on the 'universal channel', which means that all the scattered tough guy teams carrying out this mission can hear it.

Moreover, they can clearly know which team, which car and which driver reported the information! Therefore, the ruler hidden among humans also learned this information!

So the Zerg military advisor already knew which car that very individual, very powerful human was hiding in.

It must be reported, otherwise the mission cannot be carried out, but after reporting, it will inevitably be exposed... But after being exposed, it is not appropriate to attack like a storm without giving any reaction time at all? !

A series of dull explosions came again, and the jumpers in the sky threw suicide beetles more frequently, but their targets were other armored vehicles around them.

Although countless explosions exploded next to the drilling mecha where Bei Yuankong was, none of them hit. The purpose was to slow down the speed of the vehicle.

Everyone in the car looked at the scene outside quietly. The surrounding scenery was quickly flowing backwards. The moving armored vehicles kicked up mud and grass on the ground. One after another, dark round spheres fell from the sky and accurately hit the chariots that were running desperately.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The flames were dazzling and the explosions were dull. Without even turning on the battlefield channel, one could guess that the headset must be filled with despair, anger, sadness, pain and hysterical roars.

An armored vehicle jumped out from the flames, and was immediately engulfed by the new flames, once, twice, three times...

Finally, it slowly stopped.

The hatch opened, and the soldiers in power armor climbed out dancing and running for their lives, but the next second they were drowned and torn apart by the sea of ​​insects. Not everyone has the courage of Lieutenant Frank. Even among veterans, most people are still afraid of death.

They were looking forward to the Grand Canyon ten kilometers away, expecting that after leading the swarm of insects there, fighter planes would roar past and blow thousands of these bugs into pieces.

But the report from the drilling rig driver made them despair. There was an insect nest there and the insects had driven them there on purpose. When the conspiracy was exposed, these disgusting creatures immediately showed their fangs!

The mobile suits didn't know why the bugs wanted to lure them, because when Kitahara Sora was talking, everyone turned off their microphones. They only knew that there was a fool loaded in the drilling machine, who dragged them into an irretrievable situation.

Then, another tank stopped amidst the heavy bombing. They did not open the hatch, perhaps because the entire tank had been deformed by the bombing, or perhaps because they were out of fear.

But no matter how strong this fully enclosed chariot is, it will eventually succumb to the sharp mouthparts of insects, and death is only a matter of time.

Nobuaki Kanazawa looked at everything on the screen with a sad face, recalling everything from the time he met the captain until now, and recalling what he had done, a hint of indignation flashed in his eyes.

"You killed them. We killed them... for our own lives and for the good of the team..."

He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say.

Akane Minakawa seemed to have completely adapted to the rules of this world. She asked cautiously, "Captain Kitahara, what should we do?"

"What should I do...what should I do? I'm thinking..."

Beiyuan Kong stared at the monitor with a calm look, and his indifferent tone was filled with a hint of helplessness.
