Chapter 173 A "Guest" from Another Region

Based on the information provided by the girl named Yueyue, and Rong Yi's understanding of the mother insect, the mother insect should still be in the capital.

First, the mother insect grows very quickly and needs a lot of food to grow after hatching. Second, the rapid growth rate causes it to expand faster than a balloon, making it extremely difficult to move.

Only when the male insect finds a place rich in food will it allow the female insect to move.

Besides, where in Luo Kingdom could the population be larger than that of the capital? The queen insect is most likely still there.

The two set off again, their destination the capital of Romania.

The tent where the officers stationed at the outpost were located.

The officer listened to the sounds coming from the bug and fell into deep thought.

The two men were asking about the mother insect, which they had never seen before in their Xia Kingdom.

He compiled these recordings and sent them all to the capital.

It seems that some capable individuals know more about the ferocious insect than they anticipated.

The note recording the name "ferocious insect" was suspected by the capital to have been given by some capable person.

Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing did not expect that there were also listening devices installed at the encampment, especially in and around the players' tents.

The officer's report reached the capital, and the military camp then forwarded the report about the ferocious insects to the research institute.

Yuan Heng had just finished dinner and was still thinking about his research on the ferocious insect when his subordinates reported new information.

He opened the sealed document bag; inside was a memory card.

After inserting and opening the recording on the card, you can hear information about the mother insect.

Red lines on the back?

He opened the file he had saved on his computer and saw a slightly blurry photo of a scorpion with a red line on its back.

They had previously guessed that it was a female insect, but unfortunately, no fighter jet was able to get close to that area. As soon as they got close, winged ferocious insects would attack the fighter jets. Once attacked, unless the pilot escaped, there was no way to escape by ejecting from the seat.

Dongdong——

Dou Wenbo knocked on the door, and when there was no response, he opened it directly. "What are you doing? Keeping the door closed in broad daylight."

Yuan Heng pointed to the electronic device on the table where the recording had been placed. There was no need to hide this from Dou Wenbo; he would only receive the information a step later than Yuan Heng.

Dou Wenbo closed the door behind him. "What's wrong? Where did the news come from?"

Yuan Heng nodded, "It's about the Savage Insects. Those capable people really know a lot. They even know what the female Savage Insects look like. They're inquiring about the location of these insects, probably because they want to get rid of them."

Dou Wenbo loathes and hates these insects that have taken over the planet, causing nearly ten million people to die every day around the world.

"Killing her would be better. What information does the female insect provide?"

Yuan Heng pushed the recording in front of him, "Besides the ferocious insects that hatched from the meteorite, these mother insects also lay eggs. There is one in the capital of Luo Kingdom. That's what the recording says. Some people who escaped from Luo Kingdom saw traces of the mother insect."

Dou Wenbo examined the device with the recording memory card inserted. "This thing is not easy to kill..."

After realizing that these might be female insects, Xia Guo used satellite to locate the one in Bart Guo, intending to use a nuclear bomb to kill the female insect. However, the ferocious insects throughout Bart Guo seemed to have sensed it in advance and frantically gathered towards the female insect, enveloping it layer upon layer.

The exoskeletons of adult sabers are not afraid of fire or high temperatures; they are harder than steel. So many of them clustered together and covered the mother saber. When a nuclear bomb was dropped, many sabers died, but the mother saber escaped. The other insects dug tunnels to transport the mother saber away, preventing them from dropping a second bomb.

The satellites can no longer locate the mother insect, and the other mother insects seem to have a telepathic connection, all of them hiding underground.

Yuan Heng: "That's why they're called 'capable people,' possessing so many extraordinary abilities. Who knows, their detection capabilities might even be better than those of satellites."

He also hopes that more and more capable people will find the mother insect, because only when the mother insect dies can the insect swarm be stopped.

Dou Wenbo: "If these insects can dodge nuclear bombs, how could they not dodge a few people?"

No matter how capable a person is, they are still human.

Yuan Heng tapped the table with his index finger. "Then let's see what they can do."

Kshatriya city.

The once bustling city is now overrun by ferocious insects; not a single person or animal can be found here, and even the insects have disappeared.

Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing spent several days fighting their way to the capital, where they joined forces with hordes of insects in other cities. The city was teeming with ferocious insects, and more and more of them were arriving from all directions, each carrying food.

There were no more high points near Kshatriya City, so Wei Yanqing ascended to the sky and looked down over the entire area to find the location of the mother insect. However, at a glance, apart from the large number of adult insects, he did not see any ferocious insects with red lines on their backs.

Because he was far away and alone, the ferocious insects in the city did not notice him.

However, their scent will soon be carried by the wind into the city, at which point the ferocious insects will naturally realize that there is "food" nearby.

"We didn't see any mother insects, but there were quite a few adult insects, accounting for 70% of the ferocious insects in the city."

Upon hearing this, Rong Yi suspected that the adult insects were guarding this place, while the sub-insects had only recently hatched. "Let's go check other locations. Kshatriya City is quite large, and the view from one district is ultimately limited."

Wei Yanqing nodded, "Then let's go, the ferocious insects will be here soon."

The two rode their bikes around the outskirts of the city, and two minutes later, several sub-insects arrived at the place where Rong Yi and the others had stayed, but found nothing. So they followed the scent and chased after them in the direction they had gone.

On the way, Wei Yanqing dealt with several groups of pursuing ferocious insects, but after circling the entire city, he still couldn't find the mother insect.

They had no choice but to temporarily go to a deserted mountain.

Wei Yanqing speculated: "Could they have already left? It seems that Luo Kingdom has been completely devoured. If they want to find food again, they can only attack the nearest Xia Kingdom."

Rong Yi frowned and shook his head. "That's not right. We haven't seen any ferocious insects inhabiting the surrounding cities along the way, but this place is full of them. This means that the mother insect is nearby, and these are her guards. They can protect her immediately in case of an emergency."

The territory of the Kingdom of Luo was not large. They spent several days getting a general idea of ​​it, except for the Kshatriya City where the ferocious insects had gathered but had not reached the border.

Wei Yanqing felt a little regretful, because his perception range was limited and he couldn't get too close, so he couldn't use his mental power to scan every inch of the land.

"Since it can't be seen with the naked eye, is it possible that it's hiding underground?"

Rong Yi looked puzzled. "They can survive underground, but given the mother insect's volatile and arrogant nature, why would she hide underground unless..."

Unless humans use super-powerful thermal weapons to target and bomb them, the ferocious insects are very strong at this time, but they have not yet grown to their most powerful stage. They would still die if bombed by a nuclear bomb.

Wei Yanqing: "It seems I need to rest and recharge my energy. We're in for a tough battle."

To find the exact location of the mother insect, we must get close to the interior of Kshatriya City; wandering around the outside is useless.

Rong Yi looked down at the dark expanse in the distance below the mountain. "Perhaps we can find an opportunity to lure the insects out. The countries on this continent have basically been trampled by the ferocious insects, and they have never been able to break through the border of Xia Kingdom. They must be very hungry."
