Chapter 97
Chapter 97
When Ying Chenlin said this, the other people in KID looked a little confused.
But there was not enough time for them to explain in detail. Huo Yan tilted his head and suddenly saw that some red dots on the detection system were approaching them, and the speed of approaching was fast or slow.
"Lower level driver?" Huo Yan didn't use the protective shield much, and said, "It's bad. Some of the red pollutants are driven by the mantis and are gathering in our direction."
Ji Qingfeng: "Before we figure out the relationship with the mantis, we may have to deal with this wave of pollutants first."
"We haven't been able to contact Sister Tang and the others since the beginning." Lu Xi said, "Are we still within its range now?"
If this ability is spatial displacement, then all mechas within its range may be affected by the magnetic field and unable to connect with the outside world. Now their movements were restricted. Although the Wind Blade Mantis's attacks had slowed down, they were still attacking them. With a large number of pollutants attacking them, they would die in this place sooner or later.
"They are not subordinates." Ying Chenlin raised his eyes slightly, "I'm afraid these two mantises are already dead. Even if they are not dead, they are half dead."
You Su looked up and saw that the female mantis there was motionless, or in other words, after they were first teleported to this place, the female mantis rarely moved. The only ones that could move were the Wind Blade Mantis and three or four pollutants.
Ji Qingfeng was stunned and said, "But they are alive and kicking... If the pollutants die, the pollution value will decrease."
Lin Yao: "Speaking of pollution values, I just wanted to ask why the pollution values of these two pollutants are both 8800?"
In the cockpit, Theo had been observing the surrounding situation. He said seriously, "These two look very weak. If we could fire at them, we would have killed them long ago. Otherwise, we can pull everyone else out and then fire at them directly!"
You Su asked: "You just said you know the relationship between them? What is the relationship?"
"It's just a guess. We have to give it a try." Ying Chenlin looked at Lu Xi: "Lu Xi, use your water cannon to deal with the mantis."
Among artillery weapons, most are offensive weapons that carry fuel energy, but there are also control weapons with special properties. The water stream bullet that controls the mecha is one of them. This weapon is different from the sniper cannon that causes combustion and explosion. It fires a water-based bullet, which is entirely coordinated by the energy crystals loaded on the weapon.
Lu Xi understood immediately, and she immediately aimed the water stream bullets at the mantises high up. She fired two water stream bullets in succession, and both mantises were hit. The hit was too easy, which made Lu Xi a little stunned, but she didn't stop yet. During the continuous attack, she noticed that the speed of the Wind Blade Mantis had slowed down completely.
Ji Qingfeng paused: "The speed of the Wind Blade Mantis has slowed down even more."
Lu Xi suddenly remembered that before she was teleported here, she also used water bullets on the mantis. At that time, the mantis's movements slowed down under the attacks of the water bullets and teammates. She thought that this mantis was easy to deal with. "I know the mantis is afraid of water, but it is already an S-level pollutant. How can this level of water bullets have an attack effect on it?"
After seeing this scene, Ying Chenlin was completely certain, "It's not that it's afraid of water. The relationship between them is not between individual mantises, but something that exists in common within their bodies."
His tone was slightly colder, "Have you heard of parasites?"
When the parasite was mentioned, KID and the others suddenly thought of something, and their eyes looking towards the two mantises high up suddenly changed.
"The mantis that attacked us at first had the ability of wind blade. Spatial displacement should be the ability of the mother mantis, but when it was used, it expanded outward with the wind blade mantis as the core midpoint." Ying Chenlin said: "They are 15 kilometers apart, and even radar cannot be so accurate. So I have been wondering what kind of relationship between them can allow the mother mantis to use her ability accurately against the wind blade mantis."
This behavior is contradictory, and the only possibility is that it is locked on the relationship between the two of them, or on the special abilities of the mother mantis.
However, this relationship is not obvious nowadays. The spatial ability has already shown two characteristics, one is limited space, and the other is displacement.
They were affected by the characteristics of space and could not contact Shen Xingtang outside. After confirming that there were already two characteristics, it was impossible for the female mantis to have a third characteristic. Moreover, precise positioning or control of such characteristics was obviously contrary to the properties of space.
When the relationship was unclear and the mother mantis's special abilities could not be manifested, Ying Chenlin thought of the third pollutant, which could connect the relationship between the two mantises.
You Su laughed softly: "You have heard of the saying that the iron wire worm controls the mantis's actions, right?"
"If the mantis's body is hollowed out by parasitic pollutants, the two mantises are now half-dead. Their movements are stiff and they can only hunt." You Su looked up. "The pollutants living in the mantis' bodies are using the abilities of the two mantises to hunt for them. Dead pollutants don't have high pollution values... This 8,800 pollution value is probably not from the mantis, but from the parasite lurking in the mantis' body."
"How can the iron wire worms, which are such small pollutants, control two pollutants at the same time?" Lin Yao asked in confusion.
"I have been working at the border in my early years. There are a lot of pollutants in the polluted areas of the border. It is easy for king insects to evolve from pollutants such as insects." Huo Yan thought of one of the possibilities. "This king insect has a certain racial dominance. You can't regard it as an individual pollutant. It controls an army of pollutants and can completely mimic its own race."
"This kind of pollutant is very difficult to deal with. If you don't find the king insect, you will kill a whole group of them at once. It has only one ability, which is control and domination. It can control all its kind within its territory." Huo Yan looked at the two pollutants high up. "If the king insect is in the mother mantis' body and the larvae are in the wind blade mantis, then it can completely locate the larvae to determine the location of the wind blade mantis."
Ji Qingfeng: "I understand. There is another king insect contaminant. It has placed its offspring in two mantises and used them to hunt and feed its family."
"So complicated." Lin Yao only focused on the key point, "Are the energy crystals in their bodies still there?"
Ying Chenlin said: "Yes, and we can probably get three energy crystals."
Lin Yao: “!!!”

In the lounge of the Koria Administration, from the moment the signal of the mechas from the Second Star Region on the main planet disappeared, all the coaches in the lounge began to coordinate the new plan. Now we cannot contact KID, and there is no way to make KID turn off the mecha signal. KID is like the brightest dot on the map. As long as the second star field locks KID's position, it can find the corresponding S-level pollution source.
This is an unfavorable situation for them, but it cannot be said to be completely unfavorable.
There are three teams in the second star field on the main planet, one is GBK, and the other two were originally held back by pollutants.
The staff are trying their best to capture the movements of other mechas. The mecha signals of the Second Star Region on the other two planets are still there, but the signal from the main planet is the only one that has been lost. It is obvious that the Second Star Region does not want the Koria Administration, including the Dawn Galaxy, to know their movements.
"The two teams in the second star field may be about to break away. On the map, we can see that a large number of red dots are dispersing."
"GBK's whereabouts are unknown. We didn't meet anyone from Team Qi's side."
Qi Sicheng also contacted the lounge. They had fought the first S-level pollutant in the mountains without any obstacles. "Has YDS contacted Black Crow?"
"We've made contact." Brother Zhang continued, "From the current situation, there has been a small outbreak of friction, but with their abilities, they can hold it off for now."
The only people who can be mobilized to help KID now are the individual soldier team, but the individual soldier team is currently located on the other side of the planet far away from KID, and they will definitely not be able to rescue KID in time if they rush over.
"Then we can't save KID." Qi Sicheng's voice sank slightly, and he had already thought of other ways to fight. "Our advantage has not changed. Now the spatial displacement crystal has attracted GBK's attention. Considering the location of various pollution sources, GBK will most likely not go anywhere else. They will only go to KID's location and grab this before KID takes the crystal."
Zhao Lejie said: "This is also the reason why they didn't jump into the mountains at first and kept waiting outside."
He cursed, "This group of people is too insidious. We initially thought that their goal was to clear us out and get all the S-level resources, but this idea is too one-sided. They have a deeper consideration, which is to use us, Shuguang, to determine the location and situation of other pollution sources, so as to reduce the target."
The swamp forest is a blind spot for surveillance, so in order to ensure the strength of the troops, they sent two teams and let the strongest GBK stay on the periphery.
They had planned all of this, with one step mixed with two steps, and they looked very superior.
"What are you going to do now?" Shen Xingtang asked Qi Sicheng.
"No, we have to use the advantage KID has given us." Qi Sicheng thought of the meeting before departure, when KID's maintenance engineer said, "We must reduce support, our goal is to get resources."◇
The blind box dug out by KID transferred three teams from the main planet at once, which means that other resources are currently being competed for by five people.
So what if the mecha’s location is unknown? They don't need to consider the strategy of the second star field, they just need to prioritize their own goal - obtaining resources.
Qi Sicheng: "We also turned off the signal."
Zhao Lejie was surprised: "Boss, this is a battle in the dark!"
"The individual soldiers must grab the furthest ones. We will use this time to take down the supernatural crystals in the mountains."
Qi Sicheng said: "KID is not that weak. If we go over to help at this time, we will be completely defeated."
After ending the call with Qi Sicheng, everyone in the lounge saw that the signal point representing Ji Feng had also disappeared on the Koria detection system. Currently, only KID's signal was on in the entire Koria, mixed with the two S-level pollution sources, which made people worry and frightened at first glance.
Jiang Simiao: "I just calculated the speed. At GBK's speed, if there is no obstruction, they will reach KID's location in about 10 minutes."
Others: “…”
Wow, this requires KID to accomplish the feat of one to three!
Brother Zhang asked, "What about us?"
Jiang Simiao's expression was a bit vicissitudes, "Unfortunately, if we don't move, we will be beaten."
Another staff member nearby said, "Brother Zhang, there may be more."
Brother Zhang: “?”
The staff released the pollutant detection report around KID, and many red dots representing pollutants were approaching.
The proximity of GBK, two S-level pollutants, and nearby groups of pollutants.
The staff member was silent for a while before saying, "KID is about to face a three-way fight."
-*
In the swamp forest, KID, who is about to face a three-way fight, still stays in the swamp, but there are already a lot of pollutants around him. These pollutants were approaching KID's mecha like zombies. Ji Qingfeng was originally moving out, but when he saw this situation, he picked up his short blade weapon and swung it at the pollutants without saying a word.
With this swing, the pollutant in front of it was cut in half.
Lin Yao: “Awesome, Dafeng!”
Ji Qingfeng was stunned: "I become stronger!?"
"No! These pollutants are too easy to fight. They just hit the edge of my knife. I've seen people sending them, but I've never seen such an active one." After Ji Qingfeng finished speaking, he hurriedly peeled off the pollutants that fell into the swamp. He tried to take out their energy crystals in a few tries, but when he saw that these pollutants were empty, he shouted, "I'm going to...
, these pollutants have been hollowed out! ”
When he cut open the swamp, many long, linear black bugs as thick as human thighs fell to the ground, twisting in disgust as they fell into the swamp.
Ji Qingfeng: "Fuck! What the hell is this!"
They dealt with the pollutants coming from the surrounding area one by one. For the three melee mechas, this situation was easy to handle. They just had to stand still and fight the monsters one by one. But as these pollutants fell to the ground, black bugs gradually crawled out of their bodies. As soon as these bugs fell into the swamp water, they immediately became agile and swam towards the mecha, seeming to try hard to drill into the inside of the mecha.
Ji Qingfeng's scalp tingled when he saw this: "What the hell!"
After seeing it, Lu Xi said, "It looks a bit like a wireworm... but it's much thicker than a wireworm."
"That's why you asked me to use water bullets." She reacted immediately and knew why Ying Chenlin asked her to attack with water. If these insects were wireworms before they mutated, then they retained the characteristics of wireworms that like water and sunlight.
The female mantis high up didn't move much, but its location was a spot of light in the mottled shadows of the trees.
There is too little sunlight in the swamp forest, and the tall trees do not allow the pollutants to fly without much light.
Ying Chenlin pushed away the bugs that swam in front of him. He saw from the detection system that the pollution value of these small bugs gathered together was strangely 8800, but the attack ability they showed was not even A-level pollutants. "These pollutants have been emptied out. The king insect used the mother mantis to move us here because we are their food, or new hosts."
They like both water and food, and when they encounter water, they have behavioral conflicts.
The one that is truly intelligent is the queen insect. The other sub-insect pollutants are merely controlled by it, but this control cannot be complete. Therefore, the Wind Blade Mantis was also affected when it was attacked by water. A small number of low-IQ parasites wanted to get closer to the water, while some wanted to control the mantis to attack food, resulting in slow behavior.
Ji Qingfeng: "No wonder the two mantises are up high, they don't want to be affected by the swamp below, right!?"
"Too much water will make it impossible for the Overlord to control a large number of its daughters." Ying Chenlin looked up, "So dealing with the Wind Blade Mantis is very simple, not even a lot of effort. Just keep attacking it with water, and a small part of it will come out of its body."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xi understood. She had been locking onto the Wind Blade Mantis and using water stream bullets. Those wind blades had not been used for a few minutes. The mantis was swaying in the high place as if it was about to fall.
The queen is smart. It wants to eat pollutants with more energy and puts its desire for water second.
But other larvae are not as smart as it, and they also like pollutant hosts and water that are full of energy.
The surrounding environment is not that simple, more and more controlled "pollutants" are coming over like zombies.
Their difficulty is no longer dealing with two mantises, but their goal has become how to deal with these wireworms. Even though they only have B-level attack power, under the control of the queen insect, the attack power of a large number of wireworms is also very strong.
Such an environment in the swamp was too passive for them. Huo Yan and his companions could still use melee weapons to force the monsters back, but for You Su and Ying Chenlin who could not use artillery weapons, they had no melee weapons and could only use the energy cannon's barrel as a melee weapon to attack monsters.
Theo looked distressed: "Ah! That's the weapon Ying Chenlin equipped for me, can't you use it more gently!"
You Su ignored Theo. After repelling the surrounding pollutants, he got close to Ying Chenlin. Lu Xi was still able to use water cannon to repel him, but Ying Chenlin's two weapons were both attack cannons and could not fire either.
He flew to Ying Chenlin and said, "Give me your hand."
Ying Chenlin paused when he saw the mecha's hand. He did not reject You Su's kindness, but when he shook his hand, pollutants from all around attacked him again.
It went on and on, giving them no chance to evacuate the swamp.
You Suo used a few strikes to repel the surrounding pollutants. If the sniper cannon was useful, these bugs would have been burned to death long ago.
"Hold on tight." You Su grabbed the person with one hand and used the cannon to repel the surrounding pollutants with the other hand.
The mecha sank faster than they had imagined. As they fought against these black bugs, the mecha also sank due to its occasional movements. The only person who could move freely was You Su, and Ying Chenlin knew that this situation was too passive.
Lin Yao said, "Why can they invade the body of an S-level pollutant? I know that an S-level Overlord can get in, but how did the Wind Blade Mantis get in?"
At this point, Ji Qingfeng coughed and said, "Yaobao, don't ask some questions. You are too young."
Ying Chenlin was originally thinking about a question, and when he heard the others discussing it, he hesitated a little: "What are you asking?"
Lin Yao: “I don’t know either.”
Others: “…”
Ying Chenlin: “?”
You Su: “…”
After a moment, Ying Chenlin gave up asking about this thing, "We have to find a way to get out, or we will be dragged to death here."
The completely disconnected environment gave people a sense of oppression. Ying Chenlin looked at the detection system. They were in the dark. They had wasted too much time here. The environment was too passive. He could only look up. The female mantis was motionless.
Even when the water bullets from the Deer Creek attacked it, it slowly moved to a different position and watched its prey struggling below.
Too calm, the queen insect has only one goal, which is to consume them to death and then become their food or host.
At this time, Ying Chenlin looked down at the radar inside the mecha. He reduced the radar to the minimum, wanting to see how large the sensing range was in space.
When he zoomed out, he suddenly saw that the changes in the pollutants at the sensing edge showed a strange trend, and the pollutants in one place seemed to be empty.
Oh no.
Ying Chenlin turned his head sharply and saw that Ji Qingfeng was about to come out of the swamp.
Ji Qingfeng has a restraint chain, so his movements are more convenient than others.
Ying Chenlin looked at You Su and said, "Brother You, let go and help Ji Qingfeng."
You Su paused after hearing this and said, "Hold on for a while."
Ying Chenlin nodded, and the gravity on his right hand suddenly loosened.
Ji Qingfeng said: "I'll be right out. It's inconvenient for you to hold the cannon, so let Brother You help you."
"We don't have time." Ying Chenlin said calmly: "Just now, the radar showed abnormal changes in the pollutant reaction. I suspect that the second star field is already heading in our direction."
KID: “!”
Huo Yan pondered: "Given our current situation, if they come here, it would be equivalent to handing over the supernatural crystal to others."
Luxi wondered, "Will we make it in time?"
When Ying Chenlin saw Ji Qingfeng about to come out with the help of You Su, he immediately said, "Since it is an unfavorable environment, we can just make it favorable."
You Su asked: "How to do it?"
Ying Chenlin: "We have to take a gamble by attacking the female mantis and let it know the danger."
Ji Qingfeng did not hesitate. The moment he came out of the swamp, the binding sickle in his hand immediately rushed out, hooked on the branch, and immediately rushed towards the female mantis. The female mantis didn't seem to expect Ji Qingfeng's attack to be so fast. It hurriedly avoided the attack and controlled other pollutants to attack Ji Qingfeng.
However, among these zombie contaminants, only one wind blade mantis was threatening, and that mantis had been controlled by Lu Xi. Ji Qingfeng quickly approached the female mantis with his sword. When the female mantis was about to jump out, a gun mecha suddenly appeared from behind.
"Pull it down!" Ying Chenlin looked up and shouted.
You Su’s guns and cannons could not be used, but he could still block the direction. He blocked the escape direction of the female mantis.
The female mantis had no ability to attack, so it had to change direction. However, this change of direction gave Ji Qingfeng an opportunity. He put his sickle around the female mantis's head and with one force, he pulled the entire female mantis into the swamp on the ground.
When falling into the water, the female mantis felt a sense of crisis. The queen insect lurking in its body seemed to have discovered something and tried hard to struggle free.
At this time, Ying Chenlin noticed that the female mantis's eyes were gradually turning red, and the ground was gradually dyed red. He shouted, "Ji Qingfeng, try to pull its head higher!"
Ji Qingfeng did as he was told immediately, and the red area on the ground stopped.
Ying Chenlin shouted again: "Relax a little."
When he loosened his grip slightly, the red area on the ground deepened, and Ying Chenlin could feel the oppression coming.
Ji Qingfeng had no choice but to relax: "Brother, this guy is not easy to pull!"
"Tighten it again!" Ying Chenlin was surprised and interrupted, "This headgear is well-fitting."
Huo Yan asked: "Was this pollutant about to start moving?"
Lin Yao just felt a sense of squeezing: "Can we use it as a mount? Let it take us away from this place?"
KID and the others seemed to have discovered something interesting. Ji Qingfeng looked at the female mantis under his feet and said, "Oh my god, can we play like this?"
At this time, the Wind Blade Mantis on the high ground was knocked down by Lu Xi and fell into the water. Lu Xi shouted, "It's been knocked down."
Ying Chenlin looked at the area on the ground and said, "Enter the range of the mother mantis and let it take us away from this place."♀This work♀ is by♀
The others trapped in the swamp tried their best to move in, feeling the pressure from the displacement.
You Su saw this scene and knew what Ying Chenlin wanted to do. He looked at the radar position and noticed the gap in the pollutant. "Ji Qingfeng, tighten it, don't let go."
Ji Qingfeng felt the struggle under his hands, "Damn, brother, this thing is a fierce horse!"
Lu Xi looked behind him in astonishment and shouted, "Oh no! Mantis is outside the circle."
The mantis with the ability to attack with wind blades fell out of range. KID and his friends looked hurriedly and saw that the pollutant was indeed just away from the red circle.
“Old Huo, that mantis!” Lin Yao shouted to Huo Yan who was closest to him: “Eighty million!!!”
“Right away!” Huo Yan turned around, used his weapon to pull the Wind Blade Mantis over, and tried hard to squeeze into the range, “Wait for me, right away!”
Ji Qingfeng used so much force that his face almost turned red: "Eighty million, you can't let it go."
Seeing everyone coming within range, Ji Qingfeng was about to let go, but You Su suddenly called out to stop.
Ji Qingfeng: "Brother, I can't hold you back anymore."
“Don’t release it yet.” You Su entered the range and looked into the distance. “There’s a mecha coming.”
Lu Xi was stunned: "It's the mecha from the second star field."
Ji Qingfeng cursed as he exerted his strength: "Are those guys going to come and steal our things?!"
Lin Yao was anxious: "Shouldn't we leave quickly?"
Ying Chenlin looked at the radar and noticed something strange in it. When he saw You Su's sniper cannon, he had an idea, "How about a big one?"
The author has something to say:
I'm late. 100 red packets are dropped in this chapter.
