Chapter 45 (Second Update)



The girl's slender body curved into a graceful arc, her bent waist was extremely flexible, and the silk threads in her hands turned into thousands of blades, like fine rain, showering down on the Silent Bug!

Every fine line that is almost impossible to capture with the naked eye contains sharp beauty and ultimate murderous intent.

The air seemed to be cut, rippling invisible waves. The silent insect in the stone shell suddenly turned around - but the huge shell that was built to protect it affected its counterattack speed. Caught off guard, the dark blue tentacles stretched out were all cut off by Gu Qiongsheng!

The azure slime suddenly splattered, accompanied by billowing white smoke, burning a patch of bumpy pits on the ground.

"ah--!"

The Silent Bug hastily retracted the remaining tentacles into its shell and let out a scream of pain.

Silk threads are also cut into the stone shell.

But it only left a few shallow scratches and failed to cut it open.

Gu Qiongsheng frowned slightly and murmured, "The stone shell is harder than when it was underground? If that's the case..."

The silk thread gathered in her palm, as soft and obedient as hair, twisting and hardening flexibly, turning into a sharp double thorn.

All members of A1056 already possess the second form of psychic weapons.

Gu Qiongsheng's mental power is more flexible than others, and he can condense into many more forms than others!

She rushed forward a few steps, took advantage of a small slope on the ground, jumped up suddenly, pushed hard with her calves, and instantly jumped into the air.

Seeing that she was in the air and unable to move flexibly, the Silent Bug immediately waved its huge number of tentacles - the soft tentacles were flexible and delicate, but they could transform into giant whips harder than steel the moment energy was injected into them, like a mountain waving a fist made of steel and stone, smashing down heavily on Gu Qiongsheng!

Gu Qiongsheng was not panicked at all.

With the help of her high-altitude perspective, she narrowed her eyes slightly and in the brief moment her gaze passed by, she carefully identified the location of the cracks on the silent insect's stone shell.

"Eight o'clock!"

she shouted.

The moment the tentacles smashed down, a slender spiritual force, like a soft whip and a vine, came from behind, gently and accurately hooked the girl's waist, rolled her to the side, and threw her.

Perfect fit.

Silent Worm's furious attack missed.

It waved its tentacles frantically, trying to knock Gu Qiongsheng down from the air.

But the giant tentacles twisted into a strand were not flexible enough, and were completely incomparable to the tacit understanding between Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing. As they were waved, the huge tentacles stirred up gusts of wind, blowing up the corners of the girl's white clothes, making her dance like a butterfly.

Jumping and moving, Gu Qiongsheng was like a light flying bird, and her huge tentacles became her footholds for turning in the air.

She dropped her body slightly, and stepped hard on the tentacle with her toes. The impact almost knocked the young Silent Bug down.

He used the rebound force to jump up again, his body spinning easily in the air, the spike in his hand flashing with cold light, and when it fell, it was like a long blade, piercing the broken part of the stone shell!

The wound is very deep.

The Silent Bug howled again, and when the spikes were pulled out, azure mucus gushed out from the new hole like a spring.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Several shots were fired, sparks flying everywhere.

Tan Yao lay down on the slope, took aim, and fired.

His gun sense was astonishingly accurate. A small Rubik's Cube-like cube emitted a faint fluorescent light in his hand, helping him to fine-tune his mental power to ensure that every shot was accurately shot into the bloody hole pierced by Gu Qiongsheng.

The bullets in front were blocked by the mucus, but the bullets behind came one after another, breaking through the protection of the stone shell and mucus and hitting the translucent silent insects wrapped in layers inside!

"ah--!!!"

Even through the camera, the examiners in the spacecraft command area had their hair standing on end and their palms were sweating.

Too, too bold!

Every time Gu Qiongsheng dodged in the air, the examiners' hearts trembled.

She was as light as a bird, strolling and moving gracefully in the empty garden, but the examiners felt as if they were performing a stone-breaking scene in their hearts, with a small person the size of a palm swinging a huge hammer and hitting them hard, making them tremble all over and their legs feel weak.

Until the very end, seeing Gu Qiongsheng unharmed, his two spears piercing the cracks in the stone shell; and seeing Tan Yao fire several shots in quick succession, skillfully timing his attack on the Silent Bug, Instructor Dong's face flushed red, and he clenched his right fist and struck the palm of his left hand hard: "Beautiful!"

Absolutely wonderful!

When a team is far superior to others and demonstrates a strong will and extraordinary strength that is completely beyond their level of "high school students", the examiners will automatically put them into another evaluation system.

The other set is the evaluation system for warriors.

Even for the new recruits who graduated from the war academy and stepped onto the battlefield, this battle that was dancing on the edge of death was an extremely eye-catching event!

With their soft, weak human bodies, without any protection, they bravely fought against the powerful Zerg behind layers of defense - even if they were larvae.

What a calm mind, what a strong spiritual will?

There was a glint in the eyes of every examiner.

Even Xu Maoxing, who had been struggling, felt nothing but admiration and praise at this moment, without any awkward emotions at all.

He was filled with emotion and thought with shame: "This time, I really made a mistake."

On the other side, Staff Officer Wu was tapping the console rapidly.

He carefully saved every frame of the images sent back by Gu Qiongsheng, and at the same time activated the intelligent AI data system to analyze and measure the stone shell wrapped around the larva.

——The result he got shocked him so much that he was speechless for a long time.

That layer of rock is actually... alive.

It is part of the Zerg's body, providing protection for the young Zerg scales. After the larva successfully hatches and becomes an adult, this part of the shell will gradually shrivel and degenerate, losing its vitality and turning into stones no different from ordinary sand and gravel.

Staff Officer Wu expressed his thoughts.

The other examiners were also shocked when they heard this: "So, it's like a snake shedding its skin?"

"No wonder the Federation's research and development of psycho-mechs has been stagnant over the years... Turns out we need to use the bodies of the Zerg to arm ourselves."

“That’s outrageous.”

"That's ridiculous. I think this is a great idea. There's an old saying, 'Learn the barbarians' strengths to defeat them.' Have you heard of that? Aren't those insects best at wrapping themselves in hard shells? So, we can use their shells to defeat them."

"Bullshit. Think about it, the Federation has killed a lot of Zerg over the years. Which of their shells can be used to make mechas?"

"This thing must be obtained from larvae. It must be dug out from the Zerg before they hatch. But in all these years, how many larvae have we seen?"

"Ordinary larvae might not be effective. We need something like the Silent Bug, which is naturally strong in spirit and has a high affinity. Hiss, even if the research institute succeeds in developing it, mass production will be extremely difficult."

A chaotic stream of discussion drifted across the vast spaceship.

The examiners were all quite insightful and pinpointed the crux of the matter in just a few words. However, the truth that this question pointed to was truly disheartening and disappointing.

——It seems that a solution to the problem has been found, but in reality, I still don’t know where to start.

Suddenly, the door of the command module was pushed open with a bang.

The man with black-framed glasses rushed in excitedly, shouting, "I know, I know!"

Although he was only away for a few hours, Wei Lan looked noticeably more haggard. I wonder how many of his brain cells were burned in this short period of time.

Fortunately, he apparently gained something.

At this moment, the man held up a stack of information and excitedly said to everyone in the room, "This ore is alive! It's alive!"

"Just like the human body, the small pieces of minerals that the Federation found in the past were at most shed nails and hair, which of course were not active. But this time, what the students found and dug up might be a finger or half an ear—"

Having said this, Wei Lan finally realized that the examiners in the command cabin were looking at him with very complicated eyes.

"..." Wei Lan paused, looking around blankly: "Why, aren't you all surprised?"

He waved his hands vigorously. "Living minerals! Can you imagine such creatures existing? If we can find the right breeding methods, our soldiers will all be wearing mechas, and the Federation's mecha army will be just around the corner!"

Farming...

Breeding silent insects?

The examiners all showed expressions of pity.

In the crowd, Xu Maoxing smiled bitterly: "...It's not that we aren't surprised, but we've already been surprised."

He rotated the screen and showed it to Wei Lan: "Take a look at this, you might be even more surprised."

Wei Lan frowned unhappily and muttered, "What the hell."

He finally worked out this result and thought he had discovered a shocking secret. He was extremely excited, but why didn't this group of people cooperate at all?

What a bummer.

With some disdain in his heart, Wei Lan glanced at the battle on the screen.

And the huge silent insect in the center of the screen, like a large eggshell.

Wei Lan: “…Fuck.”

He stared at the screen in disbelief for a long time, and finally stretched out his trembling right hand to point forward, then at himself. When he raised his head, the frame of his glasses slid down his nose.

Xu Maoxing smiled bitterly: "See?"

"The life ore you've been thinking about is essentially this thing."

"The young of the Zerg, the larvae of the Silent Zerg."

Wei Lan: “!!!”

It was like a bolt from the blue, a thunderclap out of the blue, which instantly shocked Wei Lan.

After a long silence, Wei Lan licked his back teeth and said with a bit of gritted teeth, "No, I've been working so hard on this over there, and you guys have already come up with the results?"

"Did no one notify me?"

Xu Maoxing laughed dryly a few times: "Haha, it's not too late."

He grabbed the stiff Wei Lan, forced him to sit down, and changed the subject: "Look at the heroic fighting posture of your apprentice team - damn!"

The two watched on the screen as the Silent Worm let out a shrill scream. A long Rift Worm hurriedly crawled out from the crack in the ground, opened its smelly mouthparts, and bared its fangs viciously at Gu Qiongsheng and others.

The atmosphere in the command cabin suddenly became heavy again.

Unlike the Silent Worm which is still in its cub state, this Rift Worm is obviously a companion worm placed by the Zerg beside the Silent Worm to protect its safety.

Now the companion insect has hatched perfectly and is a complete adult insect with amazing lethality.

The A1056 team's previous operation was indeed amazing, but the Silent Worm was not part of the standard combat sequence. It appeared more as a jammer on the battlefield, while the Rift Worm was a battlefield demon born for killing.

The examiners all held their breath, their hearts in their throats.

Facing the rift worms that are significantly faster and more lethal, can Team A1056 continue to perform miracles?
