You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"Hey, if I hadn't killed the first warrior bug, you would have been scattered by it. Why are you treating me like this?"

"This is your military achievement, but it should be assessed by the High Command. I will report it truthfully."

Yuki twisted his neck, feeling very strange. Why did this person think that I would be so utilitarian?

He looked at the scattered soldiers and found that the platform was not simple either. More than a dozen mechanical arms stretched out and removed the scarred armor.

Only then did they realize that the driver inside was almost the same as a normal person, except that he was wearing a tight suit full of round holes, and the armor parts were fixed on it.

As a country bumpkin, Yuki was very curious about these high-tech gadgets and walked over slowly.

"You know us?"

"If you didn't recognize me, we would have already fired upon you as if you were a puppet bug."

On the platform, as the breastplate was removed, revealing obvious female features, she seemed to be enduring the pain, and her voice trembled slightly.

"You come and go, leave and come again, full of betrayal, cowardice, and disobedience. Isn't it all for the reward?"

Sure enough, other players have been here before. Wait, has this dungeon been used repeatedly?

Yuki suddenly realized that the copies he experienced in the previous stage were all one-time ones and even had no reference value, but he thought of the hunter who was confused by the authorities and Wu Lei'an who was in blood disaster.

Logically speaking, a copy with a planet as its stage cannot be used only once.

"A closed world, so this is what it is."

He suddenly realized the significance of the 'border area'. It was not just a simple player trading market, but also contained a huge amount of dungeon intelligence. If he had this information, he would not be completely ignorant, and it would not be difficult to obtain information.

Why would players cut off their heads to connect to the border? Because no matter how strong the players in the closed world are, they can only rely on luck to gain a little dungeon information. In other words, the closed world dungeons are all disposable for the faction, and experience and information cannot be passed on. If you are not careful, you will lose your life without knowing it.

"If you are really like this, even when communicating normally, you will fall into weird thoughts." The female voice became helpless, with a hint of disgust.

Being seen through, players will of course analyze new information they discover.

Yuuki smiled bitterly, and understood where that feeling of indifference came from. Being enemies with players was dangerous, and being teammates was even more dangerous. For example, he was a "lurker" and his purpose in helping was not simple.

But that's not my fault. We are all fighting for survival.

When players first come, they are definitely regarded as saviors, but then batches of players lose their trust.

"A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. Just look at what I have done. No one knows what will happen in the future."

"That's quite interesting. Well, at least judging from the battle just now, you helped a lot."

"It's a big help, and I did it on my own initiative. You can't be so petty as to think that I should just follow orders and charge forward?" Yuki felt a little aggrieved. He also wanted to stay alive, okay?

"I have never expected you to obey my orders. At the very least, your strength makes me feel close to you."

A sense of closeness? Oh, is it soul power?

Yuki raised an eyebrow and saw the mechanical arm remove the cylindrical helmet with several dents, revealing a bright face.

She has standard European and American looks, with short golden hair that reaches her shoulders and is a bit messy, like a piece of withered straw. She has an oval face, a straight nose, deep green eyes, and looks to be in her teens.

She looks a bit like a younger version of Black Widow, with a height of no more than 1.6 meters. She looks very out of place against the backdrop of those armor parts and high-energy rifles.

That look again.

Chris frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Yuki's scrutinizing gaze. Fortunately, the latter noticed it and immediately turned away, which made her feel a little better.

Unlike those animals dominated by desire, the most disgusting reinforcements.

The girl also took a closer look at Yuuki. Without the barrier of the Reaper armor, she could see more clearly, and then she narrowed her eyes in surprise.

"He doesn't seem to have been through many battles, but he has killed many people and experienced many battles. No wonder his attack just now was so clean and sharp."

Strong, but not experienced.

Compared to Yuuki's still handsome face, this aura made the warrior feel closer.

"What other benefits do you want?"

It was the first time Yuki heard Chris speak. Her voice was crisp and clear, not like that of a battle-hardened warrior.

"Just a thank you will do."

Chris was surprised. She had never thought that Yuki's request was so simple, but she did not say anything and turned to look at her companions.

The other three soldiers also finished removing their armor. Two were black and one was white. They were all strong and muscular men with the same expression.

Full of vigilance, yet hiding a glimmer of hope.

"Captain, we need their strength, but we must be careful not to be exploited by them, especially the lurkers inside."

"I've received relevant training and know how to deal with these strange reinforcements. I won't be fooled."

Chris nodded slightly, saluted, and let her companions leave.

Yuki could feel the fluctuations of soul energy and knew that these people were talking in the team voice, but he had a good emotional intelligence and pretended not to see it.

"Come with me." The girl landed on the ground silently and turned away.

So thank you, you really don’t say it.

Yuki moved his lips and followed patiently.

......

The transport plane flew smoothly, passing through the clouds without any bumps. Yuki followed the girl, walking in the empty corridor, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He came from the world of everyday love and was not good at dealing with such iron-blooded soldiers.

"You followed me because you wanted intelligence, didn't you? According to Article 7 of the High Command Code, I will share the intelligence with any reinforcements."

"Don't doubt my attitude. Do you know why we are lingering in this basin? Humanity once walked all over the planet, fighting against the Zerg. It is because we trusted you reinforcements that we ended up like this."

"But we still need your strength. There are also warriors among the reinforcements who can really help us. Otherwise, we would have treated you along with the Zerg."

"I hope you will learn from those warriors and not betray humanity. I will give you the relevant information. Strive to become a hero of humanity."

Chris spoke too directly. The good news was that she didn't beat around the bush and was extremely efficient in obtaining intelligence. The bad news was that she was very depressed and had to sit through a political class with gritted teeth.

The history briefly recounted was filled with blood and tears, and witnessing the sacrifices firsthand made Yuki, the 'lurker', feel ashamed.

Oh, I should have chosen the guardian earlier.

In a cabin of only a few square meters, Yuki slowly slid the holographic screen, which was sent by Chris and was far more advanced than the technology on Earth.

It was like breaking a pair of chopsticks, with the middle automatically flashing on the screen. Fortunately, the reincarnation game had a built-in translator, and Yuki learned it after a while of trial and error.

"The difficulty of obtaining intelligence was much simpler than expected. These people actually wrote a manual specifically for 'reinforcements'."

These are definitely things that "Planet Defense Force" wants players to know. They are all easy-to-understand background knowledge, divided into several categories: history, swarm information, and codes.

Yuki took a quick look at the history and had a rough idea of ​​the situation.

The Defense Force were colonists long ago, trapped on this Emerald Planet for some reason, and then came into contact with and fought against the fallen Zerg many years ago.

You can imagine how excited the first batch of players were when they arrived, but they soon discovered something was wrong.

"The power system is bizarre and more dangerous than they imagined."

Guardian players may not necessarily do their best. After all, players are guided by the principles of survival and gaining rewards. All their actions are to gain benefits from the headquarters, and it is almost impossible for them to sacrifice themselves for the dungeon characters.

You want to take all the benefits and never do anything that would put your life at risk.

That would be fine, but what is more dangerous is the lurker players. They will not care about their fellow races when they start to do things in order to complete the mission, not to mention that some players are not human.

Yuki gritted his teeth. He had seen strange players like lizardmen and robots in the border area, so this kind of player was even more fearless.

The defense force was completely unprepared and experienced battles such as the Battle of Sunset Plains and the Battle of Storm Ocean. Their territory became smaller and smaller and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"There are traces of at least three groups of players. Although there are not many people, they have disrupted the balance of the planet." Yuki continued to read and discovered why the defense team had such a contradictory attitude.

Some players are too immersed in the game. After all, there are living human beings around them, comrades who live with them day and night. They will abandon their rationality, really risk their lives, and use all kinds of strange abilities to reverse the decline.

They are called heroes.

Some set themselves on fire, burning the sea and carrying away tens of thousands of insects, buying a respite for the retreating humans. Some took risks alone, daring to assassinate the insect queen in the midst of thousands of enemies, and almost succeeded.

Yuki's breathing became heavier. He did not approve of this kind of sacrifice, but he would not ridicule others for getting too involved in the drama.

"Human nature is always complex, and everyone has their own reasons for fighting."

His fingers brushed across the page, turning to the end. He didn't rush to read the swarm information, but chose to read the rules first.

The rules are simple: sacrifice yourself to save humanity, and betrayer will be punished.

They were all empty slogans, but they were full of the defense team's hopes.

They want to survive, end the long war and return to normal life, which in a sense coincides with Yuki's wishes.

"The time here is deliberately blurred. Is it to allow players to form a clear logical chain?"

Yuki put down the holographic tablet slightly, realizing that this planet was not just about war. There were too many players' imprints on it, so he briefly summarized it.

First, the defense team has a complicated attitude towards the player, and they want to take advantage of the player's power.

Humanity retreated to the basin, almost on the brink of survival. The power of the players was extremely precious. Apart from anything else, if Yuki opened fire at full power, he could wipe out Chris's team.

"I'm not good at charging on the battlefield, but no one is better than the player in squad battles."

As for the current situation of humanity, it was not mentioned in the information and Chris deliberately avoided it, but Yuki had already noticed it.

There were hardly any people on the plane, and it was clear that manpower was running out.

Second, the defense team, having suffered so many losses, did not consider the players as their own and tried every possible means to find the lurkers.

The reason is very simple. Players are an uncontrollable double-edged sword, and it is difficult to eliminate them.

Ghost type, hypnotic type, leaning type, Lianjiecheng didn't know how many kinds of abilities the players had, which was impossible to guard against.

Speaking of which, the defense team has a difficult time. Now they are at the end of their rope and the conflicts will only become more intense.

Third, because of the lack of communication, most players cannot leverage the swarm's power, and those monsters will not hold back just because I'm a lurker.

Yuki had just experienced this and only knew that the higher-level Zerg were intelligent. If he wanted to return to the organization, he had to find a way in from them.

But this road is too dangerous and I don’t have the relevant ability, so I can pass it.

Yuki immediately cut off a strategy route. He still didn't know the purpose of the fifth tip, 'The speed of reduction is slower for people with the same affiliation'.

Fourth, due to the accident, the players were evenly scattered across the continent, and the casualties must have been huge.

He suddenly became worried about his senior schoolmates. From the map, the planet only had a piece of land. The only area controlled by humans was the Emerald Basin in the middle, and the surrounding areas were all occupied by the Zerg.

In the human-controlled area, you can still use your IQ to solve problems, but if you are thrown into the Zerg area, it will be a lot of fun. It will be very difficult for the extraordinary level to survive.

"At worst, I hope they're thrown into the sea, gamble on the chances of arriving in 30 days without being wiped out."

The mind map is basically completed. From a strategic point of view, the insects are strong and the humans are weak, which gives players more room for choice.

From a tactical point of view, no matter what identity, it is definitely safer to interact with humans, and Yuuki also understood who the "bug" in the main storyline of the seniors was.

The Queen of the Swarm? There's no illustrations or information about her, just a name.

An almost impossible task.

Yuki didn't intend to risk his life as an assassin. He was a lurker, and it was good enough that he didn't cause any trouble. He was just recalling his memory and was slightly stunned when he was organizing his mind map for the second time.

Extraordinary level. Only when the comprehensive evaluation reaches this level can one escape from the "cannon fodder" status.

This was the first faction mission, which forced Yuki to think about the ascension requirements of his own faction.

Is it another coincidence?

After some groundless speculation, he turned back another page and straightened his back unconsciously.

"Insect Swarm Data".

It includes pictures, videos and a large amount of text descriptions, and even marks out weaknesses, hunting methods, etc. Some of them were even captured with great effort and sent people to experiment on them one by one.

profession.

The authenticity is beyond doubt. If you want to take advantage of the players, you can't let them fight in the dark.

Soldier bugs are 3.5 meters long, unable to fly, with weak jumping ability, and almost no intelligence. Their attack methods...

This is the cockroach that Yuuki kills the most. There is a detailed introduction on the holographic tablet, and there are even experiments on how to make the insect shell resistant to stabbing and shooting.

Combined with his own combat experience, the image of the soldier insect is completed, and then he goes to look at other insects.

"Worker bugs? They're those ant-like bugs. Brain worms? Their stance is indeed related to soul energy..."

During the long war, the defense team accumulated sufficient experience and divided the entire Zerg swarm into three categories: upper, middle and lower. There are more than a hundred types of evolved and special forms in total.

Yuki watched quietly, not noticing the dim light outside the plane's window. The information was too detailed and no one could remember all the features.
