At the command of the soldiers from the Hunter Legion who were responsible for protecting healers, a small team of personnel took command and piloted mechs to block insects that were two, three, seven, eight, or even more than ten meters tall.
The second squad, dressed in combat uniforms, wearing combat caps, goggles, and military boots, with guns slung over their shoulders and tucked between their legs and waists, protected the healers and urged them to hurry up.
Among the more than 20 therapists, some were young, their legs went weak, they screamed, and they couldn't walk. Faced with danger, their willpower began to waver, and they cried and shouted that they wanted to give up: "I want to go home, there are so many bugs, it's so scary, I want to go home, I want to go home."
Jiang Si frowned, finding the young healers too noisy. The hunter legion was desperately trying to save them and lead them away, but one or two of them wouldn't leave and were trying to return to the spaceship, causing her to be dragged backward by them.
The Zerg insects had already jumped onto the spaceship behind them. These insects had wings, the smallest of which had wings that were one or two meters long, not to mention those with wings that were four or five meters long.
The insects that jump onto the spaceship have corrosive saliva or bodily fluids. When they land on the spaceship, they corrode it, and large holes appear in the spaceship in an instant.
A small team of counter-attackers, inside mechs, fought against the insects. The winged insects had no mechs; they relied solely on melee weapons, guns, and their sharp claws, mouths, and wings to fight against the hunter legion's squad.
Because Jiang Si was pretending to be the youngest, she walked at the back, and was constantly pushed back by the cowards in front of her.
The retreat was too forceful, which agitated her. She twisted her body forward, raised her hand, and slapped the male and female therapists who were yelling the loudest and trying to leave.
She slapped four people, who stopped crying and stared at her in disbelief, unable to believe they had been hit by someone younger than them.
The second squad of the hunter legion protecting these healers was also stunned for a moment. They did not expect that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl they had overlooked could hit people so loudly and have such explosive power.
After finishing her attack, Jiang Si flicked her hand, pointed at the members of the second squad of the Hunting Legion, and said to the healers who had finished their fight, "Didn't we already know what kind of environment this place is and what kind of things we'll encounter before we came?"
"Stop running and yelling! If you want to be eaten by insects, then go die! Why drag others down with you? Hurry up and go with them, or the insects will kidnap you, open your stomachs, and lay their eggs inside you!"
Upon hearing that eggs were being laid inside their bellies, the healers who had been beaten shuddered. They stopped crying and screaming, and hurriedly ran to the second team with their faces bearing five red and swollen finger marks.
"Watch out, behind you..."
The captain of the second squad saw a black insect fall from the sky and head straight for Jiang Si. Without time to deal with it, he rushed over to protect her, trying to shield Jiang Si from the insect with his body.
Jiang Si pushed back, knocking the second squad leader, who was rushing towards her, to the ground.
Seeing this, the others raised their guns, ready to fire at the large black worm falling from the sky. But then they saw the petite, seemingly underage girl calmly turn around, push their captain's hand, raise it, and swing it directly at the oncoming black worm.
Even though her palm didn't touch the big black bug, everyone heard a loud slap. Then, the big black bug, which looked fierce and about to grab the girl, was suddenly slapped away by a powerful force and crashed into several other bugs behind it.
The members of the second squad stared in disbelief as the insects that had been knocked away crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater.
Even their marshal wouldn't be this capable. He didn't even hit the bug with his slap, yet he managed to slap it away and make it smash into other bugs, creating craters on the ground. It's fake, right? Just a coincidence!
The other therapists, including the young ones who had been slapped by Jiang Si, shuddered, feeling that the slap they had received was rather mild; otherwise, they would have been sent flying like insects.
After scrambling the insects, Jiang Si said to the others, "Alright, we can go now."
The escort team of the second squad suddenly snapped out of their daze and went into emergency combat mode: "Go, go, go! Hurry up, get out of here! To the command post! To the command post!"
"One small team, one small team, watch out for attacks, watch out for attacks, don't let any of these bugs get close and hurt the healers."
"Three teams, hold the rear, hold the rear, speed, speed..."
"Therapists, hurry and follow the escorts, quick, quick, quick..."
There were more than twenty therapists, escorted by more than twenty people, one person escorting one person, to get them into a vehicle, a heavy camouflage truck. The therapists sat in the truck, with armed guards standing next to them.
Insects came from the sky, their guns rang out loudly, and the timid healers covered their ears, huddled together, trembling and constantly moaning.
As Jiang Si's bodyguards fired their guns into the sky, they also watched her. The girl looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a small face, dark eyes, and long hair in a high ponytail that reached her waist. She wore a simple t-shirt, trousers, and boots, and sat in the car, looking out of place among the other therapists.
While others trembled, huddled together, and cried softly, gasped in alarm, and whispered in fear, terrified of being caught or injured by the insects, she sat alone in the car as if she were at home, calm and collected, squinting at the insects in the sky.
Jiang Si isn't refusing to intervene; history is history. Although she has the ability to rewrite history and participate in it, she is currently a weak healer and won't intervene unless absolutely necessary.
Under the tutelage of Bo Jichen and Agares, the members of the Hunter Legion all possess exceptional marksmanship, mech piloting skills, individual combat abilities, and the capacity to handle unexpected situations.
So all she had to do was watch quietly from the sidelines. Besides, these little insects from the Zerg were just a bit bigger and looked scary, but actually, not many of them were that powerful.
If your marksmanship is accurate and you fire indiscriminately, even though their shells are very hard and their wings and claws are powerful, bullets can still bring them down.
It may have fallen, but it was a centipede with wings, so many claws, and such a large body. It would be a shame if it just died after falling and wasn't used to make wine.
The road was uneven, and even if the driver was very skilled, the car was still very bumpy. However, the people escorting them from the hunting legion had excellent balance and their marksmanship was very accurate even in such a bumpy car. They managed to keep the bugs away from them and prevent them from getting off.
The insects, having caught neither a healer nor a person, made whooshing and gurgling sounds, as if requesting reinforcements or sending a signal.
No one understood the insect language. Whether it was the hunting legion counterattacking the insects, the escorts, or the rearguard, everyone was on edge, giving it their all, and were prepared to sacrifice themselves to protect these twenty-odd healers.
The insectoid creatures smelled the scent of healing spiritual energy that made their blood boil and their spirits race. That scent told them that if they ate her, ate her, got her, got her, they would be satisfied and invincible.
So after the initial wave of insect attacks was repelled, they summoned their own kind, insects that had not evolved and could not transform into humans.
Various insects, ranging in size from the palm of a hand to the size of a mosquito, all sorts of different insects, emerged from the forests, grass, and ground from all directions like dark clouds pressing down, flying towards this place.
Large insects can be attacked with knives, guns, and mechs, but small insects are too small to be attacked with knives and guns, so they can only be attacked with fire. Each escort has a musket in their inventory.
They pulled out their muskets and sprayed the insects that swarmed in from all directions. The insects seemed fearless, continuing their advance even after being hit and burned by the muskets.
Jiang Si twitched his nose, sprinkled some cumin and chili powder, and roasted it a little longer until the little bugs that had fallen to the ground were ready to eat.
Waste, waste, utter waste.
Sighing, Jiang Si thought, "An ancestor like me, born at the top of the food chain, has lived this long just so that I can eat whatever I want."
Now these insects have landed, and there's still a dark mass of them in the sky, locusts, grasshoppers, and all sorts of other things. My goodness, isn't this the perfect food?
These high-quality ingredients haven't mutated yet. Wouldn't eating them provide high protein, high nutrition, and increase the body's need for trace elements?
Others might not understand, but she did, and she thought it was...
Before she could even utter the word "cherish," the car lurched violently, throwing the young man standing in front of her to the air.
With quick eyes and hands, Jiang Si pulled on the young man's belt, pulling him to his feet.
The young man with the musket: "!!!!"
Where did this 10-year-old girl get such strength?
Her hand was on his belt, and he stood motionless in the carriage, as steady as a boulder except for the bumps in the train.
Jiang Si raised her head, blinked, and urged the young man with the gun: "What are you looking at me for? The bugs are coming down, burn them!"
The young man with the musket suddenly snapped back to his senses, increased the fire of his musket, and sprayed it at the insects flying down from the sky. More than 20 guards in the carriage, each holding a musket, sprayed the insects coming from all directions.
As the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Some insects flew through the fire, while others, not killed by the spray, landed in the carriage and struggled to crawl towards the therapists' feet.
The healers, seeing such a large group for the first time, were terrified and wished they could become invisible so that these insects couldn't see them.
The insects were already on the verge of death, so I don't know what they were afraid of. Jiang Si took out a willow branch from her spatial storage and smacked the crawling insect.
The insects that tried to crawl toward her were smashed to pieces.
Clap clap clap clap!
The other therapists: "..."
I saw her there holding a stick, slapping it on the floor of the carriage like she was playing whack-a-mole.
None of the insects that crawled onto her survived; they were all smashed to pieces, their brains bursting, their intestines gushing out, and their claws, bodies, and heads split open.
As healers with spatial buttons, everyone has sticks and rods in their space. Although most insects are heading towards the ginger, a small number of insects crawl towards them.
Having learned from Jiang Si's experience, the others also pulled out sticks and swatters, slapping at the insects crawling towards them.
There were so many insects in the sky that a single musket could only fire for about 20 minutes. After that, the musket would run out of fire and become useless.
But the insects persisted, an overwhelming swarm that blotted out the sky. The guards were at their wits' end, and just as they were about to use their bodies to protect the healers, reinforcements arrived.
The therapists moved from the large vehicle to the small vehicle, working in groups of five, while the guards pulled the muskets back up and began firing.
The therapists, now sheltered in the car, were still shaken, pressing their faces against the windows or looking back at the insects and the combatants outside.
Jiang Si leaned back in the car seat like an old monk in meditation, her head slightly tilted as she looked outside. Many insects were hitting the car window and the car, falling down with a thud.
These fools are trying to break through a solid barrier with their weak bodies. They think they can knock over a military vehicle, which is incredibly sturdy and not something these little things can possibly do.
It would be more likely if a giant insect several meters or even ten meters long crashed into it, but unfortunately, someone resisted the giant insect, preventing it from breaking free.
One hour later, two hours later, the number of insects gradually decreased. After breaking out of the insects' encirclement, the car drove into a temporary command post of the hunting legion and stopped.
The car door opened, and a person in combat uniform said apologetically, "Sorry to have startled you all, but everything is alright now, you can get out."
Jiang Si sat by the car window. When the door opened, she got out, and the others followed. Compared to the others, she looked the smallest, thinnest, and most youthful.
The people in the temporary command post did not expect that one of the therapists who came this time would be so young, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old.
But since they were sent from the capital planet, it means they are truly capable, young geniuses. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent. Those sent are the elite of the elite, top-notch healers.
After everyone came down, they were taken into a room, changed into the combat uniforms of the medical department, and sent to the front line of the battle. Even if their legs were weak or they didn't want to go, they had to go.
When Jiang Si came out in her combat uniform, her slender waist, tightened by the belt, looked as if one hand could pinch it. They were just about to get into the car to go to the front line.
The first, second, and third escort teams returned, bringing back some fallen bodies, some seriously wounded, some slightly wounded, and some with mental or genetic outbursts.
Of the more than 60 people in the three squads, very few were unharmed. Those whose mental energy genes had flared up were rolling on the ground in excruciating pain, clutching their heads, or covered in cold sweat, their faces as white as ghosts.
The seriously injured were carried on stretchers to the treatment department, while the relaxed ones sat on the ground catching their breath, or hugged their comrades whose mental energy genes were surging.
Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Si stopped in her tracks as she was getting into the car and strode back.
The person who had initially opened the car door for them saw this and quickly stepped forward: "Little therapist, please get in the car, be careful not to get hurt..."
Jiang Si casually pushed him aside and strode over to the hunter legion member who was writhing on the ground in agony due to a surge of genetic mental energy.
Seeing this, the other members of the hunting legion shouted at her, trying to stop her: "Little healer, little girl, come here quickly, come here quickly! Mental rage is no small matter, it might accidentally hurt you."
"Little girl, little girl, over there are people experiencing a mental energy outburst, a genetic outburst..."
Jiang Si ignored their shouts and kicked the person on the ground whose genes and mental energy were surging.
With one kick, she sent the man flying, crashing heavily to the ground. He coughed up blood and lay there, panting heavily as if he were about to die.
The Hunter Legion: "!!!!"
This...this...how can this vicious little girl be so violent and strong? No, no, is this little girl trying to kill someone?
There are more than one person whose mental energy genes have rioted; there are six.
After kicking one person, Jiang Si kicked five more, sending the other five people flying next to the first person who was vomiting blood. They then started vomiting blood and gasping for breath.
Upon seeing this, the highest-ranking officer of the temporary command post rushed directly to Jiang Si, ready to take action and reprimand her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Si pulled out a healing spray from her spatial storage and tossed it into his arms: "Notify Agares to order the development of this healing spray."
The highest-ranking officer at the temporary command post hurriedly caught the healing spray with both hands. The words of reprimand that were about to come out of his mouth were cut off. Holding the healing spray in one hand, he involuntarily reached for the quantum computer with the other to find Marshal Agares.
Before he could even dial the number, his head buzzed. Why had he listened to this little therapist? This girl had kicked his man so hard he vomited blood. He was going to settle the score with her.
The score hadn't been settled yet, and he was inexplicably listening to the little girl's words. He paused for a moment, then turned around to look for the little girl. He saw that the little girl had come to the side of her seriously injured comrades who were about to be carried away for treatment. She touched their bodies and visibly pulled out some fatal wounds and insect venom.
Under her treatment, the critically injured person who might have died was quickly brought back to life, his complexion improved, and his wounds stopped bleeding.
After confirming that the seriously injured would not die, Jiang Si went to the lightly injured and took out a medical spray to spray their wounds.
Even deep wounds that expose the bone can be treated with the spray, causing the visible wounds to stop bleeding and slowly heal.
These were all people who had risked their lives on the battlefield, people who had faced death countless times. They had never seen such a powerful healing spray, nor such a skilled healer.
While they were still in shock and disbelief, Jiang Si got into the car and headed to the front line with the twenty-odd therapists who had come.
After she left, the six members of the hunting army whose genes and mental energy had collapsed, whom she had kicked, wiped the blood from the corner of their mouths, got up, touched their bodies, and mobilized their mental energy. They found that their mental energy and genes had collapsed... but they were fine.
When the others saw them touching themselves, and apart from having blood on their faces and mouths and being a mess, they seemed fine, they quickly went up to ask, "You...you guys..."
The six members of the hunting army whose genetic mental strength had collapsed after being kicked couldn't believe it themselves, and were also immersed in shock and joy: "We're okay, Captain, we're okay, Leader, we're okay, the genetic riot has been suppressed."
"My mental energy surge has been suppressed, and I'm fine now. Leader, I'm fine now too. I feel full of energy and don't need to rest at all. I can go to the front line to kill more bugs."
"Me too, me too! I feel full of energy right now, without a trace of fatigue. I can go straight to the front lines to kill and fight the bugs..."
The shock in the eyes of the temporary command post commander and the other team leaders had not yet dissipated. They turned to look at the gate leading out of the command post, where the vehicle carrying the therapists had already left.
They stared at the gate and muttered to themselves, "That little girl just kicked you to heal you. Is she a genius? She suppressed the collapse of your genes and mental strength with a single kick?"
"You were coughing up blood, you were kicked to the ground and almost died, but you're all better now..."
"Oh my god, pinch me! Pinch me! A genius high-level healer has come here. He can bring back people who are seriously injured or whose genes and mental power have collapsed."
"Ahhh, does this mean that the number of our comrades dying will decrease, and that our comrades can be saved?"
"Stop pinching, stop pinching, leader! Immediately notify Marshal Agares at the front and have him send someone to pick her up. Don't let her fall into the hands of the Zerg."
"Damn it, damn it, I knew there were more Zerg attackers than usual today, and they even swarmed out so many dark, swarming insects that blotted out the sky. Turns out they smelled the top healer and came to capture her and eat her."
The speaker reminded the others, who slapped their thighs loudly, "That's right, that's right! I was wondering why there were so many bugs today. It turns out these bugs are smarter than us and were able to smell the scent of a top healer much faster than us."
"Insects love plants the most. To them, a top-tier plant healer is a top-tier large green plant that makes them drool and want to eat them."
"No, that little girl seems to be very powerful. You guys forgot, when she first got off the spaceship, she not only fought other creatures, but also a giant black bug that could transform into a human. She used the giant black bug to knock down several other bugs."
The speaker's reminder brought back vivid images of the little girl fighting people, killing insects, and healing others. They couldn't help but cheer, exclaiming, "Wow, wow! Our hunting legion has not only gained a top-tier healer, but this top-tier healer might also be a combatant!"
Agares, who was directing the fight against the insects at the front lines, received two communications in quick succession. One communications said that a healer had produced a super effective healing spray that could heal wounds with a single spray, and asked him to order the healing department to take it to the laboratory to analyze the ingredients and formula, and then to the pharmaceutical factory for large-scale production.
One communication stated that 26 healers had arrived from the capital planet this time, including a young girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. She was a top-tier healer capable of treating suppressed mental energy and genetic breakdown.
The Zerg have already sensed her presence and have sent many of them, both differentiated and undifferentiated, in an attempt to abduct her.
After hanging up the communication, Agares opened his personal terminal and found the list of healers that his teacher, Bo Jichen, had sent him. There were originally 25 healers, but one more had been added later.
A young girl was added. She is 14 years old and a Level 3 pure plant therapist who knows how to grow plants. Her teacher added her personally.
When I opened the little girl's profile, there was no photo, no parents, no home address, no contact number, just a name, an age, and the therapist's level.
Shredded ginger...
Agares stared at the name and silently recited it in his mind. Then, a voice came from the command post: "Calling command post, the Zerg are sounding their horns to retreat. We have annihilated more than 5,000 Zerg that could transform, and countless others that could not."
"We have 150 dead, 300 seriously injured, and 1500 slightly injured. We now request the medical department to send someone to pick up the seriously injured and the dead."
Agares replied, "Understood. Be careful. I'll arrive with the team in an hour!"
After Agares finished speaking, he summoned his deputy commander and took charge of the temporary command post. He put on his combat cap, sunglasses, camouflage uniform, and boots, exuding an aura of iron and blood. He walked out of the command post and led more than twenty people directly to the treatment room.
When a therapist arrives at the front line, they are usually taken to the temporary command post, while the wounded are brought back for on-site treatment and bandaging.
Those with severe cases are transferred to the rear area and then taken by spaceship from the rear to return to the capital planet for treatment. However, those with genetic and mental breakdowns are difficult to treat.
Especially after their genes and mental strength collapsed on the battlefield, those who survived became ordinary cripples, while those who couldn't survive died.
Those afflicted by the insect venom either die or lose their fighting ability, becoming ordinary people who are even worse than ordinary people.
As a marshal of a nation, Agares did not want his soldiers, his people, or his comrades to suffer any harm. He wanted them to go to war intact and return unharmed.
So when he received the communication, the temporary command post at the rear said that there was a special spray available, so he immediately gave the order to the treatment department and also notified his teacher, Bo Jichen.
Once the treatment department receives the substance and confirms that it is harmless and truly effective, they will send it to the laboratory. The composition will be analyzed within three days, and production will begin within five days!
Now he personally went to pick up the 14-year-old therapist, not to take her to the temporary command post, but to take her to the front line of the battle.
When Agares, dressed in a camouflage combat uniform and exuding a cold aura, appeared in front of Jiang Si, even though they had been separated for many, many years and she had been back for many, many years, seeing him face to face felt like it was just yesterday!
The therapist, who was sitting in the car with Jiang Si, looked at Marshal Agares, who was handing over the people who were taking them away, and was no longer afraid. Instead, she excitedly whispered something.
"My God, my God, am I dreaming? Marshal Agares has come to pick us up in person."
"Mom, oh my, I've made something of myself! I'm not scared at all now. Marshal Agares came to pick us up in person! What's there to be afraid of? He's never lost a fight against the Zerg!"
"He's so handsome, even more handsome than he appears on the news. He's taller, stronger, and more upright. Ahhh, I want to marry him."
"I want to marry him too! Oh my god, his looks, his body, wow, he's just amazing! As a straight man, I think he's flawless, so perfect it makes my heart flutter!"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
She quickly looked away and turned to the male therapist sitting in the car with her.
Young and handsome, with a piercing gaze.
They're itching to get started and eager to try!
Good grief, let's have three seconds of silence for Agareth, and three seconds of silence for him too.
After handing over the farewell to the people who had seen them off, Agares, wearing his military boots, went to the car, opened the door, and said, "Thank you all for coming to Planet Kor. On behalf of the entire Hunter Legion, I thank you all."
"The road ahead is difficult, with many Zerg ambushes. Please get off the vehicles and get into our mechs. We will take you there in the mechs..."
Jiang Si sat by the car door, lifting her eyelids to look at Agares, her voice clear and melodious as jade, interrupting him: "If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry!"
The other therapists sitting with Jiang Si: "!!!!"
What's this little brat doing?
He had previously taken down four people, and then showed off his skills again at the temporary command post.
Why is she now going against Marshal Agares? Even if she's trying to attract his attention, she doesn't need to do it this way.
Where did this girl come from? Whose family is she? Which courtyard is she from? I've never heard of her before, and I've never seen her before. Even if she's a genius healer, being so unruly and showy is annoying, okay?
Agares leaned against the car door, raised an eyebrow, and a playful glint flashed in his eyes. His nose twitched involuntarily, as if he were sniffing something: "Little healer, what are you saying? The battle at the front is intense, our personnel are injured, and the military went to great lengths to send you healers. As the Imperial Marshal guarding Cole Star, you are worried about our personnel and came to pick you up personally. How can you say you're in a hurry?"
The other therapists: "!!!!"
Yes, yes, as the Imperial Marshal, Agares set an example by coming to pick them up and having them treat the frontline personnel to reduce casualties. This shows his responsibility to them and to the members of the Hunting Legion!
What is this little girl questioning here? Is she deliberately trying to show off her uniqueness?
With a youthful face that looked like that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, Jiang Si sat in the car and looked Agares up and down, then clicked her tongue and said, "You're not only impatient, you also talk too much!"
The little girl smelled wonderful, like a tree exuding a rich fragrance, with lush branches and leaves that tempted insects to eat her.
Agares smirked: "So, you mean I shouldn't say anything now, and we should just drive off, right, little healer!"
Jiang Si nodded: "Yes, don't say anything. After handing over to the people who brought us here, drive away to the most remote place. At least make sure that the Hunting Legion and Agares can't find us or catch up with you before you show up and speak. That way, we'll have a better chance of winning!"
The other therapists: "!!!!"
What's the meaning?
What's the meaning?
What does it mean to make Marshal Agares unable to find them or catch them?
Isn't that Marshal Agares with his hand on the car door?
What kind of riddles are the little girl and Marshal Agares using? They can't understand a word of it.
Agares's dark eyes gleamed with interest as he gazed at Jiang Si: "Little healer, so my biggest weakness is that I'm impatient, that I talk too much?"
Jiang Si raised her eyebrows and reminded him with a smile of exasperation: "Yes, you little bug He Yan who has suffered repeated defeats, besides being impatient and talking too much, you also deliberately imitate Agares too obviously!"
"Of course, none of the above is the most important thing. The most important thing is to look at the insects you brought out. Although they are dressed in the uniforms of the Hunter Legion and look like humans, one or two of them not only have their tails and wings showing, but also their pupils and compound eyes. Can't you be a little more professional and make your insects look more professional and human?"
