You tell me, this is called daily youth?

......

It was a purgatory-like scene, with tens of thousands of spores flying across the sky, like raindrops hitting an azure umbrella of light.

Hundreds of ripples appeared one after another within a second, and collided with the passing missiles, causing countless sparks to burst out.

The anti-aircraft guns fired at a rate of thousands of rounds per second, riddling the passing giant spores with holes. They landed behind the fortress, and terrifying warrior bugs emerged from it. Then a defense team of hundreds of people gathered and used electromagnetic rifles to tear their skin and flesh apart.

The swarm of insects was turning into minced meat. The Marines squeezed the triggers tightly. Tanks, giant robots, and Reaper helicopters came in. Soon, more sandworms emerged from the ground among the troops, and a brutal hand-to-hand fight broke out between the two sides.

The bat dragon was diving, and the laser turrets on the high tower were cutting back and forth, causing these flying insects to fall with screams. Then, with a series of explosions, the gunworms that looked like tridents drilled a hole in the protective shield, and dense suicide insects poured in from the hole.

The sentry tower exploded, twisted steel flew everywhere, and humans retaliated with missiles and lasers, and mushroom clouds from nuclear bombs rose one after another.

Three-dimensional attacks were launched from the sky, on the ground, and underground. The battle took place in front of, above, inside, and behind the fortress, and the outer strongholds were lost one after another.

Every moment there are heroes who self-destruct and die, and every moment there are puppet insects that appear quietly to cause trouble. This is a complicated game, the insect swarms are endless, and humans are determined to hold on.

This kind of scene made the players breathe rapidly. The players who stayed were all very strong, but joining the battlefield was just a number of casualties.

No one can survive the attack of hundreds of bat dragons, and no one can withstand the coverage of ten nuclear bombs. It's like two monsters wrestling. If you are not careful, a strong ant can be crushed to death.

The corpses of the Zerg covered the ground, and the fallen strongholds chose to self-destruct, bursting into mushroom clouds. Humans began to assemble armored forces to launch a counterattack, and the Zerg also sent out giant insects shaped like crocodiles and as big as mountains.

Yuki clenched his fists and looked around quietly. Everyone was staring at the screen, some were shocked, some couldn't bear to watch.

The members of the defense force, led by the commander-in-chief, gnashed their teeth and their whole bodies were shaking.

The hall was eerily quiet. It was supposed to be the highest command center, but all the staff inside had been sent to the front line to serve as assistants to the lieutenant general. When the time was right, they would pick up rifles and serve as the lowest-level cannon fodder.

This battleship should have been humanity's strongest fortress, rushing into the battlefield when the situation was dangerous and suppressing the Zerg's arrogance with its powerful firepower.

But the warships sailed on the edge of the wall, and their commander-in-chief "stood on coldly", letting a group of mortals bear the brunt of the insect swarm.

But this is sacrifice, this is the price. Yuki saw Chris open her mouth silently several times. She would rather go to the front line and fight hard than watch hundreds of her comrades sacrifice their lives here.

Alas, war makes players feel powerless.

Yuuki sighed. In such a fierce battlefield, a few monster-level players thrown in would not be able to cause even a wave, so the second main line was to kill the queen.

He was powerless and could only watch the development of the war and the fireworks explode on the holographic projection.

"The Zerg has launched a general attack."

"The first wall fell, and the seventh, ninth, and eleventh auxiliary fortresses fell."

"Lieutenant General Mota has voluntarily abandoned the second wall and sent the 5th Tank Battalion to counterattack."

A major general from the General Staff explained the battle situation, and a holographic projection played the situation inside the Unfall Fortress.

The main area of ​​this fortress is equivalent to that of a city, and it is packed with densely packed artillery batteries and bunkers. Heavy tanks drove into the streets to bombard, and each deployed its own defensive force field like countless light umbrellas.

Spores fell like raindrops, a terrifying torrent poured in from the breach, the muzzle flames connected into one, hitting the swarm of insects and making blood and flesh fly everywhere. From time to time, missiles flew vertically and shot down the diving bat dragons.

The giant crocodile's thick armor was pierced and it was targeted by dozens of lasers. The volley of tens of thousands of various weapons stopped the insect tide, but soon some giant spores fell into the fortress.

All that jumped out were mid to high level Zergs such as warrior Zergs, human Zergs, assassin Zergs, etc. They fought in close combat, killing marines in large numbers like cutting melons and vegetables, or dissecting heavy armored tanks in their entirety, instantly causing chaos in the formation.

Hundreds of psychic warriors were sent over. Only they could keep up with the pace in this kind of close combat, but this time the psychic warriors were a bit clumsy. Although they suppressed the Zerg's arrogance, the casualty ratio was very bad.

"Because most of them aren't psychic warriors at all."

Yuki muttered to himself that this was also part of the plan. Even though the soldiers wearing the Reaper mechas were all top-notch and had used huge amounts of stimulants, they still had a gap with real psychic warriors.

He turned his head and looked at another projection. It was a spacious room with hundreds of strong men in tights lined up. Standing at the front was another familiar face.

Captain Kudus, is he also involved in the plan?

Seeing the expressionless face of the man who was at odds with him, Yuki shook hands with his colleagues from the Internal Affairs Department one by one, took out a photo and looked at it, then took off his nameplate and placed them on the long table next to him.

There were wine bottles, photos, letters, and piles of nameplates on the table.

This is a warrior's relic.

Because the holographic projection was so clear, Yuki could even see the fear in Kudus' eyes, his trembling fingers, or rather, the same look appeared on the faces of many people in the room.

This is waiting for death.

The captain walked out of the room and came to another area. Standing on a small platform, he took the syringe delivered by the robotic arm, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it into his neck.

Biological potential stimulating agent.

Yuki has also exchanged a lot of this stuff. It is a drop in the bucket for beings above the extraordinary level, but it is a divine weapon for ordinary humans.

It is like an overdose of adrenaline, which can allow humans with excellent physical fitness to reach an extraordinary level instantly, but the price is burning out.

The extreme pain made Kudus curl up into a ball, and his body was forcibly torn apart by the mechanical arms. Various parts of the Reaper mecha were placed on his body, and a "psychic warrior" was equipped.

hiss.

Yuki took a deep breath. Even if Kudus didn't die in the battle, he would have lived for at most one day. Moreover, he knew the harmful effects of the potion. As an officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was not his turn.

"But he still chose to die heroically." Yuki narrowed his eyes and felt his wrist being held. He turned his head and saw that it was his senior who was looking at him with concern.

"I'm fine, but my fighting spirit has become stronger."

He looked at the other players, most of whom shared the same sentiment as him. There were no villains or heartless people standing here. Most of them were originally warriors, and the shock they suffered would only be more severe than his.

Levi's eyes flickered as he thought of many scenes, but he had to admit that these people were even braver than the Survey Corps. No, the feelings of the two were exactly the same.

"They inherited the will of their fallen comrades and will die here, entrusting the meaning of their existence to the living and leaving the hope of survival to future generations. This is the meaning of sacrifice."

The captain muttered to himself, causing all the players' expressions to change slightly.

Yes, no one can deny the significance of sacrifice. They firmly believe that sacrifice can end this war. The loss of tens of thousands of lives creates a kind of throbbing.

Their souls entered the fire, and their hope was infused into everyone.

Seeing the flashes of self-explosion and the corpses crushed by the insect swarm, Yuki felt a heaviness on his shoulders and couldn't help but raise his head.

"How long we have to wait!?"

This feeling of oppression was almost driving him crazy. He had only been in the dungeon for half a month, and the soldiers who died in large numbers were also strangers, but warriors always have a tacit understanding.

The commander-in-chief didn't say anything. If the players were like this, he would only be more miserable.

As the planner, this scene was already anticipated. He could choose to remain autistic and just listen to Motta's signals.

But he won't. He will face sacrifice and take responsibility. This is his duty as the commander-in-chief. Even if his eyes are almost filled with blood and tears, he must engrave every scene firmly in his mind.

Anger was brewing and the soul was burning, and this infectious force surpassed all spiritual erosion, until an excited voice was heard.

"Found the 'Moscardo'!"

The center of the swarm blossomed and was suppressed by hundreds of "psychic warriors". The swarm that landed behind was also entangled, which caused the main force of the wall-breaking to suffer heavy losses but could not rush into the fortress.

Just like playing cards, the ones who can deal with psychic warriors are always high-level Zerg. The Zerg brings his guards and takes action personally, killing dozens of psychic warriors in a few seconds.

The general insect's personal appearance proved that the Zerg had finally launched a general attack regardless of everything, and that the army had finally lost its flexible deployment. After all, it was impossible for the queen to micro-control such a large battlefield, and the general insect was a crucial command node.

"Everyone, it's our turn." The commander-in-chief finally spoke. Unexpectedly, his tone was not excited, as if it was a very ordinary battle.

It was pointless to emphasize the importance of the battle now, as everyone, even from a distance, had witnessed tens of thousands of sacrifices.

They were willing to die bravely just to seize an opportunity, and the opportunity was in the hands of everyone.

"Deploy the concealment force field, Hope, advance at full speed, target the hive—"

"Fire Chaser Plan, begin!"

Chapter 35: The Queen is Here (Part 1)

The ship trembled slightly. Even if it made a big circle, it would only take about an hour to reach 'Cui Xing City'.

This giant ship was flying close to the atmosphere, which was the limit of its anti-gravity engine. At this altitude, it could avoid all force fields and the patrolling bat dragons.

Go straight in and take the queen's head from among the troops, but everyone knows that this journey is not easy and there is a high possibility that there will be no return.

The defense forces can set up all kinds of false targets, but they can't create a second "Hope". If this ship doesn't show up, the Zerg will not let down their guard.

They are not stupid and know what is the only hope for humanity to turn the tide.

"Be careful. I have a feeling the Queen is waiting for this ship to pass by. This is also his best chance to seize the fire."

In the hangar of Area I, Yuuki was constantly warning Mai Sakurajima. Selfishly, he didn't want his senior to take risks.

But the senior student had to take the risk, as she had at least a 30% chance of success in the entire plan.

"You've been nagging me dozens of times. We've been through so many dungeons and what risks have we not taken?" Mai wrinkled her nose and patted Yuuki's shoulder with a condescending air. "Don't worry, I will definitely find the queen and return safely."

That's true, they have long been able to stand on their own.

Yuki felt that he was being overly concerned, but he still warned: "There are players on the other side, you must be careful."

The sealed door closed, and Sakurajima Mai inside the door made an OK gesture and then disappeared without a trace.

A small landing capsule with optical camouflage was dropped, which would send Mai to the outskirts of the city. She would then use her special skills to sneak in, first finding the place where the skull was located based on the coordinates left behind, and then exploring inside.

The time for youth syndrome is limited. To be honest, this trip is very dangerous, and there is a hidden danger in Yuki that cannot be disclosed.

Aizen, who came here many years ago, is an uncertain factor.

"Worried?" Hayasaka Ai walked over quietly, and the connection was seamless.

"Well, now I both wish the Queen were still here and wish she weren't."

"Which desire is stronger?" the maid asked succinctly.

Yuki lowered his head and thought for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to stay here. If she really gets down on her laurels, we're doomed."

The probability of this happening is actually very low. After dealing with the Zerg for half a month, they have no concept of life and death, only persistence in their goals. Since the Queen wants the fire, she will create opportunities at all costs.

Just like the defense forces sent ordinary soldiers to their deaths, the queen would not care about the lives of hundreds of thousands of insects.

This battle is extremely risky, but once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. No matter what, there is no turning back now.

Hayasaka Ai handed over a cup of coffee and was silent for a moment, then thought of something else: "Those people from the ether particles have been traced."

"Where?" Yuki asked subconsciously. He borrowed the appearance of the Blood Demon last time. If the other party is still alive, this battle is 100% a fraud.

"They're hiding inside the wall. It seems they're trying to get through the dungeon." The maid paused, a hint of envy in her eyes. "These people are so good! They're not willing to take any risks at all."

"Bullshit! You're just leaving your fate to the dungeon." Yuki scoffed, his face filled with disdain. "Do you know why I never choose this seemingly easy strategy?"

Since the Bloodthirsty Red Moon, whether actively or passively, Yuki has always been at the forefront of the strategy and served as the backbone.

"Because you want to be a hero?"

"No, because I'm a little angry." Yuki drank his coffee in one gulp, turned and walked into the lounge.

"The reincarnation game wants me to die and escape reality, but I won't!"

......

"Do you think they will come?"

In the city of flesh and blood fungus, on a high building, Zhenren and Shenwei sat side by side, gazing at the magnificent wall of light in the distance.

This insect nest has entered a state of alert. The fighting on the front line is in full swing, but most of the insects here remain motionless.

"It's possible, it's possible not. It depends on whether they can see this only way out."

"What useful nonsense!" Shenwei laughed, glancing at the blue sky. "They're definitely coming. I can tell from what happened before that the opposing players are quite courageous. They won't just sit there and wait for death. I'm really curious how that blood demon can kill the evil ghost."

"Haha, that blood demon is not even worthy of carrying Akaza's shoes. Some other player must have impersonated him while we were away." The real person sneered, thinking that if Akaza was dead, those people would be happy, and he would be scolded when he returned.

Every camp and every organization has core members. It doesn't matter how many small soldiers die, but the death of core members usually means enmity.

Among the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, there are not only ghosts, but also people who are incompatible with each other.

"Fake identity, hmm, it doesn't seem like the work of that captain, it should be that Sky Island Yukishiro." Shenwei thought very simply. He had the relevant information in his hands about the Zerg invasion database before, so he couldn't help but clap his hands.

"Okay, let me kill this guy. It's definitely more interesting than Ms. Smile and the Captain."

"It's up to you, but at the player level, we are at a disadvantage." The real person reminded that besides the two of them, there was only one miscellaneous ghost soldier left on the Zerg side.

"It doesn't matter. After killing them, the dungeon is almost over." Shenwei swung his feet lightly, supporting his chin, as if thinking about how to relax after the dungeon is over.

"You wish! They will definitely find a way to destroy the fire. Those bugs will go crazy, and we'll probably be dragged down with them."

"Haven't you already made preparations? You can transform your soul into a bug. It should be no problem for it to survive for a day or two. I can kill the bugs then. Both sides have suffered heavy losses. If I can't survive this, then I deserve to die."

The words were lighthearted, but they specifically mentioned the prerequisites for the two people's 'willfulness'.

The main mission of the Lurker is to seize or destroy the fire. It doesn't say that the Lurker has to destroy it personally. It's the same if the opponent does it. The destruction and return of this thing will definitely not be completed instantly, but it will not exceed 48 hours.

Even if the Zerg were to go crazy, they would target humans. The two were still confident that they could withstand the aftermath of their anger.
