Is Chapter 41 sleepwalking?

This army of fallen insects does indeed have the strength to clash head-on with the ambush army.

Under normal circumstances, the appearance of a "captain" is enough to contaminate half of a special operations squad guarding heavy weapons.

The special operations team suffered heavy casualties, putting their heavy artillery and commander in danger. The Fallen Insects already outnumbered them, and with the loss of heavy firepower and their commander, the human side would immediately be plunged into a fierce battle, or even be routed!

No one is fleeing now, but the insects that rushed into the village ruins are all shocked and then fall into chaos!

"The second and third Fallen Insect armies are approaching the town!" Wen Yan was tall, and even though there were several people between them, he still managed to catch a glimpse of the tablet in Old Wei's hand.

He also heard the running and shouting outside and couldn't help but say something.

The Fallen Insects attacking the town included not only the group that had passed the ambush point, but also two other groups that marched even faster.

The timing of the two waves of insects was perfect; the ambush team had just finished their battle when they arrived, effectively reducing the pressure on the purifiers.

Wen Yan felt that Qi An should order the troops stationed in the town to be contacted; she had always planned ahead.

But Qi An did not.

Qi An only glanced at the images transmitted by the reconnaissance drone over the town, his attention still focused on the ambush battlefield.

The ambush on the battlefield was thrown into chaos, but the number of Fallen Insects was still more than twice that of the human army!

Two pale tentacles shot up into the sky from the gray jungle, screaming angrily and shrilly!

The worms weren't all killed; there's still at least one "singer" left!

Even if they kill them all, with such a numerical advantage, the Fallen Insect army might still attack, driven by their anger at the priest's death!

The mortar was positioned at the third line of defense, which was now also retreating.

After evacuating the wounded, No. 45 rushed back to the rooftop and, together with the artillery reinforcements, took the mortar away.

The entire team fought and retreated simultaneously. If the "captain" were still alive, he would probably have noticed that the humans' retreat showed no signs of panic whatsoever.

But the "singer's" screams grew louder and louder!

The swarming insects, like a mudslide, swallowed up the ruins that resembled a rocky beach!

Behind the "rocky beach" was a forest, but the "mudslide" paid no heed to the forest and still crushed it.

As soon as they entered the forest, the human army stopped fighting and fled with their guns in hand.

Just like when facing a wild beast, the more you turn and run away, the more fiercely the beast will chase you.

The Fallen Insects were also fierce in their pursuit, relentlessly chasing after the human army. Some of the faster individuals had already hooked the necks of several lagging soldiers!

But the soldiers who lagged behind didn't change; they turned around, fired, and even with a cyst popped out, they could still run.

Moreover, although the soldiers' fleeing figures appeared chaotic, their direction was quite consistent, mostly running in a straight line in the opposite direction of the entrance.

They ran in a straight line, and the fallen insects naturally followed in the same straight line, chasing them deeper and deeper into the forest.

The mudslide completely disappeared into the deep forest. The artillery outside the forest turned, and several shells flew across the still heavy, dark sky before falling into the forest.

As dawn broke that day, the mighty winds that could have swallowed the wheat fields rose again in the wilderness, engulfing hundreds of fallen insects!

Qi An then ordered: "Everyone, replace yourselves with the garrison troops in the town."

The entire horizontal grid of the ambush team was cleared.

That village is not only well-preserved in its architecture, but the grove of trees behind it is also a perfect ambush point to lure the enemy in!

While looking at the map in the car, Qi An thought that the woods might be useful.

That regimental commander did indeed make good use of it; his command skills were quite strong.

All the level 2 purification masters were transferred to the town's garrison, each with their own jurisdiction.

Ren Haoyuan listened to the ambush squad leader's shrill, chicken-like report through his earpiece: "Commander! There's no anomaly!"

The fight wasn't over yet, and there weren't detailed statistics, but each squad leader reported a rough estimate of their team's injuries and losses.

There weren't many injuries; you could count the seriously injured on one hand, and no one died, hahaha!!

Let's weld the 'White Pagoda' reinforcement onto our team, our guild!

The background was so chaotic, a symphony of exploding fire and howling wind, accompanied by the captain's excited, cracking voice, that it made one's chest swell and one couldn't help but laugh.

Ren Haoyuan did smile, but then looked at the wild wheat field outside the town.

Two massive hordes of fallen insects were now clearly visible, and the 155mm self-propelled howitzer he had brought into the town had already opened fire.

The ground trembled slightly, and the wild wheat field burst into a restless and explosive flame.

These two waves of insects were more numerous and formed an encirclement.

The attacks of the Fallen Insects were dispersed, forcing the defenders to scatter to various defensive points along the four walls.

This means that multiple battlefields will be fought simultaneously, and hundreds of soldiers will come into contact with the Fallen Insects at the same time.

Ren Haoyuan's gaze shifted from the wild wheat field to the direction of the cotton mill.

In such a situation, can Dr. Qi, who is small in stature but has a strong presence, hold on?

This question arose in the minds of many people, especially Wei Maochun.

The old man squinted, his gaze shifting between the screen and Qi An, and his grip on the tablet tightened considerably!

Qi An's voice remained indifferent, but his speech was faster, and the switching of commands was dizzying.

The affected area is too large and there are too few purifiers. The only effective strategy is to purify quickly and switch quickly. Under the premise of identifying key targets in advance, let all soldiers take turns to receive resonance.

However, the rapid connection and disconnection pose too great a challenge to the second-level purifiers, as the high-pressure purification will cause their pollution levels to rise rapidly.

Having just survived an ambush, the Purifiers only have two minutes to rest during their shift change!

The pressure on the lower-level purifiers only passes to the upper levels, but when the overwhelming horde of fallen insects engulfed the first layer of defenses, Qi An remained as steady as a rock.

The surging tide roared as it crashed against the defensive wall, and all the bastions on the wall opened fire, bullets raining down like a storm.

A river of emerald green blood appeared on the ground, and Gray Tide advanced through the blood pits, braving the torrential rain!

It's too close, 100 meters away. There are even insects crawling up the wall at its base!

The clamor of war was like a bent finger, knocking a small, glass-bottom-like town until it wobbled precariously on the edge of the table.

However, the small "white pagoda" in the little house at the center remains unmoved.

The radiance emanating from that "crown" represents wisdom, but even more so, an inexhaustible spiritual force!

Wei Maochun also felt as if he had reached a state of concentration, listening to Qi An's commands like a dense drumbeat, and staring at the codes that kept jumping in and out of the table.

She was so focused that it seemed she had memorized all 300 codes, calculating in her mind in real time how many rounds each Level 2 Purifier had transformed and how many people they had purified.

It took seven or eight rounds to completely eliminate all the garrison reinforcements!

However, none of the six people on the second floor had a contamination level exceeding 40%. The battle had been going on for half an hour, and not a single one, not even for a second!

Wei Maochun was somewhat stunned, while Xu Hui, standing beside him, felt as if she were sleepwalking.

But the time for sleepwalking hadn't come yet, because 10 minutes later, the ambush team returned.

The ambush force attacked from the east. After burning nearly 800 fallen insects to death, they still retained considerable fighting strength and were able to coordinate with the defending army to encircle and annihilate the attacking fallen insects!

Despite suffering heavy losses, the Fallen Insects still managed to send over 500 soldiers to the battlefield!

This is the current maximum capacity of the equipment. Excluding those damaged in the last war, the base can currently produce 600 terminal soft caps.

For safety reasons, Wei Maochun only took out 500.

But now she regrets it a little, because she feels that whether it's 500 or 600, it doesn't seem to make much difference to Qi An.

Ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes. The special forces were fighting the Wisps again. Qi An also took the opportunity to inform them how many Wisps there were and their exact locations.

Time is like a plate of perfectly cooked caramelized apples, the caramel just won't break no matter how hard you try.

Xu Hui stopped looking at the screen and came back after walking around outside. She squatted by the door and stared blankly at Qi An.

That helmet looks too much like a crown, and Qi An looks like a white jade sculpture... a sculpture of what?

Xu Hui felt that she must be sleepwalking, because her vision was blurry and she felt that this was not a cramped and dark power distribution room, but a magnificent hall and a radiant sanctuary!

Qi An sat upright in the sanctuary, his face filled with mystery and arrogance that she could not see through!

The sounds of battle had subsided. Ren Haoyuan walked in, covered in the blood of fallen insects. He thought he would see a group of purifiers resting weakly.

The great battle was over, and the three thousand fallen insects were completely annihilated! His troops, however, suffered few casualties.

The purifiers have changed at least once, right? How's that Dr. Qi doing?

Dr. Qi was alright. She stretched her stiff body, took the handkerchief handed to her by the military doctor, and wiped the sweat from Lin Jiaran's face and head.

After wiping, she adjusted the shimmering crown on her head, turned off the power, and glanced sideways upwards at the crowd at the door.

Her pupils were clear and complete, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Many people, like Xu Hui, stared at her blankly, as if in a dream.

After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Huaizhi suddenly became agitated, as if having an epileptic seizure, and a sharp, violent cry burst from his mouth:

"Ah! Humanity's hope! The chosen one! No, the chosen commander of the 'White Tower,' it's her!!!"
