There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

He had already fallen into madness and didn't seem to notice that nothing seemed to happen after the missiles were swallowed by the Insect God. The dense explosions seemed so dull, as if they were "snuffed out".

"It might be a mistake to resupply the mecha. He actually kept the last rations..." Rick said with regret, "This is not bravery, this is stupidity. He is courting death. He is not a hero."

"No hero has ever died because of 'failing to pass CET-4 or CET-6'." Kitahara Sora shook his head slowly, his tone somewhat sarcastic.

He is not a qualified team member, not even a qualified mecha pilot. In the original work, the death of Takashi Nagami was ridiculous. The city where he fought fell, and humans were going to use a nuclear bomb to destroy that city.

When the evacuation warning spread throughout the battlefield, he was the only one who did not evacuate, still driving the "Guardian" mecha to kill insects.

Because the warning was given in English and he was a pilot from an island country, the audience in the previous life joked that Xiaoge died because he failed the CET-4 or CET-6.

But as a mecha operator, how could he not understand English?

It was because the place had fallen and all his comrades had died... He was so bloodthirsty that he fell into madness, and Narumi Takayuki ignored the warning that had been repeated more than ten times.

So, he is a supporting character, just a background character in the anime, and he has never even appeared.

"I should have communicated more with the new team member. He was a true man who valued friendship and loyalty. What a pity."

Kitahara Sora's tone revealed a hint of regret and a little bit of self-blame. They were too lonely. They came to this world without anyone to communicate with. They had their own reasons for this, and as the captain, he also had some responsibility.

After all, they were teammates with potential, and his inaction was equivalent to sending them to their deaths. You can imagine that originally the two brothers were huddled together for warmth, but in the end the only psychological support collapsed. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy.

Looking back, I was also relying on Yukino mentally during the first mission, but I didn't notice it. If she wasn't there, perhaps some more serious problems would have occurred.

The mecha's shoulder cannon fired into the insect god's giant mouth. The hot laser illuminated the depths of the insect god's mouth full of sharp teeth, but it was still like a drop in the ocean, without any ripples.

The Triumph Mech was lifted up by a giant thorn. It waved its limbs like a human and struggled...

But the Insect God didn't seem to care about the mecha. Its gaze seemed to be locked on it again. Bei Yuankong, who sensed that he was being locked on, was suddenly shocked, as if a voice inexplicably sounded in his mind?

Like the observer, the sound is transmitted directly to the brain without passing through sensory nerves such as the eardrum, just like one is talking to oneself.

The voice was very obscure, and the strange tone made people feel creepy, but it also carried a majesty that could not be ignored, like the holy voice transmitted by gods to mortals.

"Look... over here, human..."

Beiyuankong subconsciously turned his head to look at his companions around him, and his throat moved. He cautiously and tentatively replied in his mind: "Who... are you?"

Surprisingly, the voice actually answered.

"I... don't understand the meaning of 'who'... in the human sense..."

'I am civilization.'

Chapter 63: Choice

On the scorched earth of the planet MP-2, the towering insect god like a mountain is like a real god, giving people a sense of ethereality, vastness and loneliness from the void.

If the spikes towering from the ground were replaced with tentacles, and its hideous head replaced with an octopus-like shape, it would be exactly like the ancient god of Cthulhu mythology.

Kitahara Sora was staring at the mountain a thousand meters away as if in a daze, so much so that Hayato Hayama beside him noticed something was wrong and began to shake his shoulders violently.

But even so, it took Kitahara Sora a full five seconds to "wake up".

"what happened to you?"

Kitahara Sora looked at Hayama Hayato with lingering fear, "It was communicating with me just now..."

"Communication?" Hayato Hayama widened his eyes, and Kobayashi Daigo also looked surprised.

"Yes, communication. It invaded my mind but did not harm me. I don't know... maybe it has something to do with mental power, or it used the same method as Him."

Bei Yuankong carefully glanced at the insect god in the distance, "It is the master of the insect swarm, the origin of the insect race, and represents the entire civilization..."

Beiyuankong lowered his head in a daze, "I... was having a conversation with the entire civilization just now?"

"Talking to civilization!" Rick's breathing was a little rapid. It took him several seconds to calm down. He said in horror: "What did it say!"

Beiyuankong stared at Rick with a complicated expression, and after a while he whispered three words, "Knowledge, Evolution, Truth."

Knowledge, evolution, truth?

Not only Rick, but Ye Shan was also confused. What did it mean? It was thirsty for knowledge and wanted to evolve. What truth did it want to know...

Just as this question arose, Hayato Hayama suddenly thought of something and looked at Kitahara Sora as if he had suddenly realized something.

The other party nodded helplessly.

Because the Zerg's mental network absorbed the memories of the three newcomers, but these three newcomers had only a vague understanding of the 'game space' and had no idea about skills, bonus points, the purpose of the observer, the meaning of evolution, etc.

So the Insect God wants to know all the details. It is a life form that transcends the human level and even possesses knowledge that humans have never touched. The secrets of the observer are what it truly desires.

But this thing happens to be within the mission rules, and speaking it out will result in being wiped out. If you want it to know, a core member must voluntarily sacrifice his life to it and let the insect god absorb the memory.

"Is it a secret that cannot be told?"

Rick suddenly asked, "Is it something you have been hiding from me...something that will be threatening to you if I tell you?"

Seeing the three people in front of him nodding slowly, Rick took a deep breath, and his puzzled expression suddenly turned cold. He said sincerely and even with a hint of pleading, "No, no, please..."

"Rick."

"No." There was a trace of despair in Rick's eyes, and he suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at Kitahara Sora. His sudden action made Kobayashi Daigo and Hayama Hayato nervous in an instant.

The soldiers around who had lost their fighting spirit were looking at this side with puzzled expressions. Seeing this, Colonel Mishilvi walked over quickly with a serious face.

"Your secrets cannot be known to it." Rick shook his head in sorrow, his lips trembling a little, "Please don't let me shoot..."

Beiyuan Kong stared at Rick with a complicated expression and sighed deeply. After more than ten seconds, he calmly moved the gun away and said, "Don't be ridiculous. You can't kill me."

"I guessed why you came here. I know you will leave after solving the trouble. You promised me. Just two hours ago, you said that you would always know your identity... There is no possibility of reconciliation between us and the bugs! No!"

Rick lowered his head with a dejected look, like a child asking his parents for pocket money, his face full of pain and humility, "You can leave. I don't ask you to help us win, but don't betray us... We are the same kind."

At this time, Hayato Hayama couldn't help it. He pinched Rick's shoulders and showed a sunny smile, "So can you think of a way? How to solve this crisis, how to deal with this monster...god?"

He pointed in the direction of the mountain and said, "Or can we escape? We are standing on its body, so why don't the starships in the universe open fire?"

Rick raised his disheveled head, staring at Hayato Hayama with a stiff smile on his face with bloodshot pupils, and then moved his gaze to the sky.

"They...can't possibly fire. Half a million reinforcements just arrived here...it can kill us instantly."

Hayato Hayama patted Rick's shoulder lightly and said with a wry smile: "So what can we do?"

"But one of you will die!" Rick said unwillingly.

"us……"

As soon as Hayato Hayama finished speaking, his entire body suddenly flew high up. Kitahara Sora suddenly lowered his body, pushed him away, and then turned around quickly...

With two "whoosh" sounds, an arrow with a metallic glow broke through the air and shot towards the direction twenty meters behind him.

After the "bang", Hayato Yeshan got up with lingering fear, and cold sweat immediately covered his entire forehead.

Just when Beiyuan Kong pushed him away, a light blue beam of light flew behind him, right next to his forehead...

"what!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from the direction where the laser came from. A man in power armor rolled violently on the ground. Two hunting arrows were inserted into his arms respectively, and a laser gun lay quietly on the ground.

Rick stared blankly at Nobuaki Kanazawa, who was rolling on the ground with snot and tears streaming down his face. The last bit of hope in his heart vanished. They would not die... There was no harmony among them to begin with.

Kitahara Sora and Hayama Hayato, who had gotten up, walked towards Kanazawa Nobuaki with expressionless faces. Looking at the backs of the three people, Rick seemed to be struggling.

But a broad hand rested on his shoulder, and Colonel Mishilvi opened his visor. There was an incomparable calmness on his old face, and his turbid blue eyes were full of tenderness.

"That's enough, kid." The colonel smiled kindly, "They have done enough. We can't stand on the top of the moral mountain and ask them to do anything. Without them, we would have died long ago. The dead cannot hear betrayal."

"Sir..."

"The God of Bugs wants to talk, which means we may have peace. This war has lasted too long, and I'm a little tired."

The colonel slowly turned his head and looked at the insect god, muttering, "They will not betray. Their people also died at the hands of the insects. Although the boy didn't show anything on his face, I could feel his hatred. The two little guys who failed to get out of the insect nest were not fools who shot at him."

"It's impossible to stop." Rick denied with a struggling look on his face: "That monster knows that he 'doesn't belong' to us. After they leave, the war will continue until we completely destroy them, or they completely destroy us."

The colonel looked over in surprise, and suddenly burst into laughter. "So what are you expecting, you idiot? Are they going to be buried with us? Or do you not want to die yourself?"

"We have the ability to kill it, even after they leave! What you don't want to see is so many people becoming meat to be slaughtered, while that little girl in heaven is trying her best to prevent this from happening!"

Rick looked at the old man in confusion, but the old man's kind face suddenly turned cold and returned to his usual irritable state, "Don't forget, bugs don't lie, and neither do their gods, and humans are always despicable!"

-------------------------------------

Kitahara Sora looked expressionlessly at Nobuaki Kanazawa who was lying on the ground wailing, Hayama Hayato looked at him coldly without disguising his feelings, while Kobayashi Daigo shook his head helplessly and sighed silently.

He never died, this extremely lucky guy survived, but Kitahara Sora never had time to take care of him.

This guy had been hovering around Kitahara Kong. After overhearing that someone had to reveal the secret, he finally couldn't help but shoot, because he knew the consequences if he didn't shoot.

Just now, he finally understood why Kitahara Sora and the others wanted to kill him, but why they kept him alive until the end... They treated him as a tool!

Kitahara Sora and Hayama Hayato were standing in the same straight line. As long as the shot hit, both of their heads would be shot through at the same time. In the end, the one who called Kobayashi Daigo was the auxiliary, and he had no offensive power...

But why, with his back to me, why did he know that I was aiming a gun at him, why didn’t he die!!!

Under the colonel's order, the surrounding soldiers supported each other and left to make room for the three people. The Insect God did not seem to be in a hurry, and Kitahara Kong was not in a hurry either.

The trembling Kanazawa Nobuaki raised his head with difficulty, his ferocious and twisted eyes seemed to want to tear Kitahara Sora to pieces.

"I know you have a lot of problems. I can put away my hostility if you just don't act so 'smart'. I can even tolerate seeing the last scumbag alive, as long as he can make a positive contribution to the team or is not a threat to us."

Kitahara Sora explained calmly, "But I cannot tolerate self-righteous people appearing in the team. Such people are unstable, and trusting them completely will cause big problems in the end, just like Nobuyuki Sugo, just like you. Because you always have your own ideas, and you think that they must be right."

"asshole."

"Asshole? Well said. Actually, you should have died the first time you scolded me."

Kitahara Sora kicked away the laser gun he picked up and asked again: "Do you know why I let Feng Jian tell you that I wanted to kill you, but I kept you until the end... It seems that you know. I thought you had lost your value, but it's not true."

Nobuaki Kanazawa lowered his head and sobbed intermittently. After a while, he growled, "She's dead. Miss Minagawa is dead... You had the ability to protect her, but you didn't. Why..."

"Why are you hostile to us? Just because I scolded you? You want to kill me because I scolded you... What is human life in your eyes? What do you regard human life as... Are you demons?!"

"Demon? Sorry, I am indeed a demon." Kitahara Sora nodded slowly, "I regard human life as the most precious thing. Because I have lost it before, I know how precious it is. So if anyone threatens myself or my companions, I will eliminate them without hesitation."

"As for your other question, I don't hate Akane Minakawa. At most, I just think she's dirty. As long as she doesn't have so many little thoughts, I'd be happy to accept her. But her behavior makes Hui unstable, and it will definitely make Yukino unstable, so I blatantly reject her."

Nobuaki Kanazawa stared at Kitahara Sora with a dull expression: "She is not a bad person... and neither am I. We will not cause any harm to you..."

As he was speaking, his tone suddenly paused. Wasn't there any threat?... He had never approved of their behavior from the beginning, so he stood up bravely and accused him.

He just shot at them, and now he says there is no threat, but he forced him to do this! If he didn't force himself...

"I know what you're thinking. If I hadn't forced you, you wouldn't have shot, and you would never have chosen to kill someone. But we still don't want you to join us, because your values ​​conflict with ours. Your joining will definitely bring divisions to the team, just like the first time you blamed me."

Kitahara Sora was right. If Kanazawa Nobuaki truly integrated and became powerful, if left alone, he would split the team into two factions.

This guy is passionate and righteous. He will definitely do his best to protect the newcomers in every game and make promises to them. But what else can he do? In the end, he can only kill him.

The least valuable thing in this world is excessive kindness. Yukino understood this truth in the second game, and there is no reason why Kitahara Sora wouldn't understand it.

"Also, I also know that Akane Minakawa is not a bad person. She even forced you to let her go at the last moment, so she is a kind woman. Bitch cannot be equated with evil."

"But it does make me feel ridiculous that a woman like her still thinks about that kind of thing in this world. I don't know her life experience, but I am extremely disgusted by her ideas. After she targeted me, I even felt uncomfortable all over."

Nobuaki Kanazawa's expression turned into shock, "You..."

"Yes, I heard you. Can you turn off the team voice of Team 19 when you are communicating privately at the last moment of your life?"

Kitahara Sora's eyes were cold, and finally a hint of anger appeared. "Not only did I hear it, maybe Yukino in space heard it. Everyone wearing power armor and using the voice chat of Team 19 heard it."

"A bitch wants to fuck me, and she even wants my girlfriend to watch. What the hell is this? NTR in front of me? We're on vacation. Has she watched too much anime? Alpaca, I really want to kill her myself!"

There was a slight noise coming from the nano headset. Yukino turned on the microphone, but turned it off again without saying anything.

Hayato Hayama pursed his lips. After all, this scene was not suitable for laughing or joking. In fact, he was still angry.

"call--"

Beiyuan Kong took a deep breath, and then his eyes turned cold. He heard two "swish" sounds, and after a moment of stunned silence, Jinze Nobuaki slowly lowered his head to look at his arms...

The two arms with arrows stuck in them were cut off at the root, and scarlet blood gushed out like an opened fire hydrant.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"

The dazed Kanazawa Nobuaki went crazy again, rolling on the ground twitching and emitting shrill screams.

"Treat him, don't let him pass out."

Following the cold command, the silent Kobayashi Daigo threw a "Recovery" at him without saying a word, and with a flash of golden light, the gushing blood stopped immediately.

Kitahara Sora slowly squatted down, cut open the power armor, and picked up the pale-faced Kanazawa Nobuaki from inside.

"Ye Shan, Daigo, please go, as far as possible... as far away as possible."
