You tell me, this is called daily youth?

There are not many puppet worms, human worms and general worms, especially the latter two. Only by killing one can the battle be considered a victory.

These insects were hidden in the lavender mist, appearing hazy. Because of this layer of mist, whether from the demon's perspective or looking down from the sky, only the shadows of the buildings could be seen.

"The human-bug is intelligent, and it is almost impossible to pass under its nose. The defense forces even gave them names. From the illustrations, the one in front of me is called Ashmid." Levi said quietly. As an expert in exploration outside the wall, he felt that his exploration had reached its limit.

"Let's retreat. We've located the hive and calculated its strength. It's enough for the defense forces to formulate a battle plan."

Not enough, far from enough.

Yuuki simply shook his head at Levi's opinion. He glanced at the electronic map and saw that the area within the second ring road was almost the size of Tokyo's urban area. The error was too large.

There are at least 100,000 bugs lying in ambush throughout the entire Cuixing City. The number of assassins in the defense force must be small, so they don’t have the time to slowly search for the queen’s location. If they are not careful, they will all die here.

Not to mention landing right next to the Queen, at least the closer the better. Besides—

"The insect nest is here, but the queen may not be here. We don't have any information about the insect. What if it's a trap?"

"Then give up the second main line. Do you still want to see the queen with your own eyes?" Levi snorted unhappily. This is a question that the defense forces should think about. The players have already tried their best.

I really want to see it with my own eyes.

Yuki's idea is crazy, but it is not illogical and fanciful, because he has been a "lurker" from the beginning to the end, a member of the Zerg.

"It has been confirmed that the Zerg don't rely on appearance, but reputation as the basis for judging friend and foe. This can be seen from the Zerg's frantic attack after encountering me."

His Zerg reputation is already at 'hatred'. Theoretically, there is no possibility of getting it back except by killing the commander-in-chief, but don't forget there is a tip seven.

[Tip 7: Players can raise their reputation with the selected faction to 'Trust' for a short period of time, limited to 1 time, lasting 5 hours]

"Although I'm not a loyal person, my faction is indeed a swarm. By using the tips, I can avoid being attacked for 5 hours."

What to do, should I take a risk?

Yuki was rarely entangled. Even from the perspective of a "guardian", it was feasible to hold the fire in his hands, resist step by step, and delay time.

But that would be too passive. Unless he had no choice, he rarely passively took a beating.

Advance or retreat?

Yuki gritted his teeth. If he retreated this time, he would be stuck in this path, with no other options. Ultimately, the defense forces' cover-up prevented him from assessing the severity of the situation.

If things are still calm, there is no need to take risks; but if things are extremely dangerous, it will be too late to regret.

"Pighead, how about I go in and take a look?" Mai noticed the dilemma and took the initiative to chat privately.

"No, your trait isn't invincible. The Zerg's detection is pervasive. They only trust reputation."

"Reputation? You want to use hint 7 to sneak in?" The senior student understood instantly. She almost forgot that this pig-headed man was a lurker.

"Yes, I must at least make sure the Queen is here."

"But that man-worm possesses intelligence. Even with the Fool's Mask, you might not be able to get away with it. You can't take risks in a place like this."

"So I need you to lure it away. Ordinary bugs only care about reputation."

While answering, Yuki had already made up his mind. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Now that he had reached the insect swarm's home, he should at least go in and take a look.

This was very risky and her life would be in danger, but Mai was already used to taking risks with Yuuki. She bit her lip lightly and didn't try to correct this pig-headed guy's idea.

"Okay, but what about him?"

Levi doesn't have unconditional trust. Knowing that Yuuki can sneak into the core area, he will definitely doubt his identity, but this drama is being performed by two camps together.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Time passed minute by minute, Yuki and Levi circled around the red wall, neither of them gave up, trying to find a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, everything was in vain. The red wall was impenetrable. There were bat dragons patrolling in the sky, and there were human insects on the wall giving orders. The most important thing was that no one knew what was behind the wall. One could only see half of the building sticking out.

Levi wanted to try the same trick again, but Mai said she would never go in and take the risk, which made him gradually anxious.

"Let's go, it's a complete waste of time. This isn't a good place for a picnic."

Although the defenses in the city were loose, the nerves were always tense, which was simply a torture.

"Okay, as far as the gains are concerned, it's enough for the defense army to be grateful. The choice of whether to gamble or not is in their hands." Yuki didn't insist this time. The reincarnation game is full of helplessness, and how can everything go smoothly?

Phew, this bastard has some brains.

Levi breathed a sigh of relief. When exploring outside the wall, one must know when to stop. Those who try to find out the truth in one go will not end up well.

"Then let's retreat. Let's leave quickly while Weixiao draws attention to the north." Levi turned around and disappeared from the roof like a shadow.

He was very fast and knew the route of the Zerg patrol by heart. He returned to the edge of the city in less than ten minutes. At this moment, a gunshot made his heart stop.

boom--

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed inside and outside the silent city. In just a moment, the densely packed flesh granulations stopped shaking, and the soldier insects patrolling the streets stopped in an orderly manner.

A dead silence before a storm was brewing, and then suddenly erupted with Levi's contracted pupils.

"Retreat quickly, some bugs are coming out of the ground and have discovered us!" Hayasaka Ai seemed to be screaming.

"Let's carry out the third plan. Captain, you lead the way and retreat towards the wall at full speed. Miss Mai, you follow me to attract attention and create time for retreat." Yuki seemed very calm, but his words were full of fear.

We've been hiding for so long, and we were discovered just because of a coincidence?

Levi was instinctively suspicious, but soon he no longer had the mind to doubt anyone. In front of the insect nest, who dared to perform at the risk of his life? These insects would not listen to reason.

Granulation tissue was growing wildly, linking with each other to form dense networks. A swarm of insects rushed out of the building, pouring into the streets, spreading along the alleys and streets. No matter how powerful the assassin was, he could not escape this swarm of insects tactic.

Looking outside the city again, the light shields that were originally rising and falling one after another unfolded together, forming a blue light wall connecting to the sky. Even a nuclear bomb falling from the sky would be intercepted by the force field.

The swarm is very rigid, but precisely because of this rigidity, they can switch to alert mode in an instant after the alarm is triggered.

The hive fully expanded and instantly turned into a heavily guarded and impenetrable fortress.

boom! ! !

Following an even more violent gunshot, a hole was blasted in the azure wall of light.

"Go!"

Levi woke up as if from a dream, and ran in that direction with his feet spread out, his wings of freedom spread out, and cut the swooping bat dragon in half.

Plan three: After being discovered, get away from the insect nest as quickly as possible and proceed step by step.

He returned to the forest in just twenty seconds. Kaguya Shinomiya was hiding in the treetops, using "Arrows of Scattered Light" for cover, and some insect corpses were scattered on the ground.

Levi had no way to check the insect corpse. As far as he could remember, no player had dared to joke with his own life.

Everyone looked as if their scalps were tingling. The battle indicated the direction. Countless swarms of insects were pouring in from the formation, and hundreds of huge bat dragons were like a moving dark cloud.

"Run, I'll be the sharp knife."

Levi held two swords in his hands. Seeing Hayasaka Ai following him, holding Hiyori in her arms, he ran away.

It’s only a hundred kilometers. As long as they are not surrounded and blocked, they can get back to the wall in half an hour.

So the first step is to create the illusion of an attack so that the swarm has no time to pursue.

boom!

The explosion exploded in the city. The nitrogen high-energy explosive was incomparable to the TNT on Earth. A high-rise building was instantly shattered and hundreds of insects were missing limbs.

This amount of casualties can be ignored, but the hive that was rushing out suddenly slowed down and showed signs of backflow.

They disguised their retreat as an attack and used the swarm's fixed program to disrupt the pursuit. Unable to bear the consequences of having their home stolen, they realized that the remote control signal originated from within the city and hurried back to search.

The second and third explosions followed one after another, and fireballs rose up, driving the swarm of insects almost crazy. They filled every entrance to the city with squeaking and searched every inch of space in the city. Even the swarm of bat dragons that turned back began to hover over the city.

But the electromagnetic signal was clearly inside the city, but they just couldn't find the attackers, as if they were being attacked by ghosts.

This was even more terrifying, like poking a hornet's nest. The angry swarm of bees surged in all directions like a tide. After a few minutes, a vague and terrifying gaze began to scan the city.

Taking advantage of the chaos for a few minutes, Levi had already run nearly ten kilometers, killing all the insect swarms he encountered, and the ones that escaped were also dealt with by Hayasaka Ai and others behind him.

Hurry up, hurry up.

The captain was already blood-thirsty and felt that he had never fought so hard since joining the reincarnation game. He had to retreat to a safe distance before the swarm of insects could react.

That bastard, I told him to retreat a long time ago...

Levi moved his mouth, but couldn't curse out loud. In this plan, Yuki was the most at risk.

The second step is to disperse and break out so that the swarm cannot gather together.

After all, Yuki couldn't run as fast as him, so he would definitely be detected by the soul force field. The swarm of pursuers would most likely target him first, and the blocking troops in front would also move south in advance.

My own pressure was relieved, but how could that bastard get away?

Levi couldn't think of any solution and could only comfort himself that someone as sinister as Sky Island Yuuki must have some hidden trump card.

He completely forgot about the existence of his senior sister. Looking at the three people following closely behind him, he felt a hidden gaze coming from the front.

Dozens of bugs jumped out from the town on the right. These hidden garrisons began to "meddle in other people's business" and were squeaking and gathering their own kind.

Does the Queen control it herself?

Levi took a deep breath. This reaction speed was too fast. Fortunately, this retreat route had been arranged long ago and there were few strongholds passed through. Fortunately, those players and mobile forces were attracted to the north.

The seemingly scattered conditions were linked together one by one, which was enough to save lives at this moment, making Levi once again sigh at the cunning of Sky Island Yuki. He had been thinking about how to escape since the moment he left the city.

"Contact those natives, advance with all your might, and fight through all obstacles to reunite with them!"

......

They should have retreated to a safe area. With the captain here, the hastily organized swarm of insects should be unstoppable.

Yuki walked in the dim sewer and could hear the sound of insects running past. These insects suddenly came alive and killing even one would trigger a reaction, and then they would chase and kill like maggots on the tarsal bone.

Does the Queen personally micromanage?

He could sense a faint pressure, and when he concentrated, he could also sense the falling dead skin. Therefore, assassination was impossible. Once the defense mechanism was triggered, even the most powerful assassin would be untraceable.

Having said that, Yuki never relied on imagination when making plans. There were many prerequisites for retreat:

Using the Queen's importance to ensure that these "wasps" dare not leave the hive; the strongholds along the way lack advanced Zerg; the mobile forces with advanced Zerg go north, and -

Most of the players are not here.

With these prerequisites, we can rely on chaos to buy time. A monster-level player fights for his life to open a way, and cooperates with people like Hayasaka Ai who are armed to the teeth. It is difficult to stop those miscellaneous soldiers.

In addition, because the first group is farthest from the wall, the defense forces who are eager to obtain intelligence will try their best to provide support.

There are the largest swarms of insects in the west, but don't forget that the defense forces are also the most powerful in this direction.

There is at least an 80% chance of successfully returning to the wall.

Yuki wasn't too worried. There were violent bugs above him, under his feet, and on his left and right. No one was in more danger than him.

The sound of arthropods was getting closer and closer. Tens of thousands of insects with blood-red eyes were about to cut the attacker into pieces. At this time, the presence of Sakurajima Mai appeared in his mind.

Tsk, I forgot about my dear senior again.

Mai is another bait. The swarm of insects can track the electromagnetic signal of the remote control, but cannot find the person holding the remote control. The senior student feels like she is walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on her.

By the time the queen took action in person, she had already disappeared without a trace.

The fungal blanket cannot sense the player. If the queen is intelligent enough, she will definitely know that this "assassin" is the biggest threat and will definitely send elite troops to search around.

"Once the two-hour cooldown period is up, Senior Sister will disappear from my perception again. It's a pity that the Light-Covering Prayer Instrument doesn't have a cooldown feature, otherwise my operation could be even more impressive."

Yuki felt very sorry and turned a deaf ear to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer. He climbed the stairs and pushed open the manhole cover. The dense footsteps came from both sides of the alley.

In this city filled with raging insects, no one can escape unless—

He put on the mask of the fool, and the ever-changing costumes distorted his body, and he instantly turned into a blood demon with two horns on his head and elegant golden hair.

boom!

The wall was directly penetrated by the terrifying warrior bug. In the overflowing dust, the warrior bug was stunned on the spot and instinctively lowered its two swords.

Unless, I'm a friendly force.

Chapter 4: Queen of the Swarm! (K)

The change in appearance had no effect on the Zerg, but his perception told him that this was a friendly army with a 'trustworthy' reputation.

This is very strange. We are clearly following the Queen's instructions, so why would we encounter friendly forces?

The warrior bug has no intelligence and is completely unable to understand the problem in front of it. If it were a human bug, it would have made some judgment, but unfortunately, it was not it.

This is the power of rules.

Yuki was not unfamiliar with this feeling. 'Reputation' was a rule set by the reincarnation game and was enough to solve many problems, just like when Saito rebelled, the defense forces would not attack him until he was discovered to be with the puppet worms.
