After explaining the origin of the sickle flies, the group began to assemble their new team.
Besides Hu Yue and her team, there were several other players from other schools, and they were all mainly combat insects.
It's unclear what the rule is, but in the Zerg race, combat strength seems to be inversely proportional to size.
Of course, the Starfire Insect is an exception in this respect.
So when they regrouped into one big team, Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao formed an inverted triangle.
Mingmei was at the very back, protecting two thousand-eyed insects and a "hidden" sickle fly.
The others followed behind Lu Xiaoyao and the others.
For the first time, Lu Xiaoyao felt that someone could talk even more than her.
She thought that male players were really talkative and cryptic, and that Mingmei rarely listened to them without thinking.
Anyway, no matter how fast my brain works, it can't keep up with his talking. I might as well just listen.
"My goodness, are these Starfire Insects really that big? How would I fight them if I encountered them on the battlefield?"
That was a Zerg player playing a character similar to a Mantis.
He flew around Lu Xiaoyao and Waldo, like a drifting meteorite wandering between two adjacent planets.
The other party also felt that flying around the two Starfire Insects was like flying on the surface of a planet.
"Haven't you guys ever done any simulated battles before?" Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but tease when she heard Dui Fan's exclamation. "You've never fought a Starfire Insect?"
"Oh dear, that's just a simulation, it's incredibly difficult."
“But this is a simulation too,” Lu Xiaoyao said, but the other party was not willing to listen and instead asked Waldo, who was standing next to her.
"Colonel, how do you fight when you encounter Starfire Insects? You must have a lot of combat experience, unlike us rookies~ Can you tell me about it?"
Mingmei: "...?"
Lu Xiaoyao: "...?"
Others: "...?"
Hey buddy, that tone of yours... ah, it's got a strong tea vibe!
Mingmei shuddered involuntarily upon hearing this, while Lu Xiaoyao simply moved aside a little.
She didn't sense any "green tea" behavior; she simply felt she couldn't win an argument with the other person.
As she moved, Lu Xiaoyao missed Julian, her Yin-Yang Master boyfriend. If he were here right now, he would definitely help her cure this old man.
Even bystanders felt it was enough, and as the soldier "giegie" involved, Waldo also felt his scalp tingle.
"Colonel, please tell us!"
Waldo: ! !
I can't hold it in any longer!
Waldo climbed Mount Kongtong overnight!
"Colonel?" the other person called out again when Waldo remained silent.
"Die, what else can we do?" Waldo finally spoke, his tone was not good, but it didn't sound like he was just being perfunctory.
"Huh?"
"Otherwise what? Do you think you'd blow up this huge thing that's full of high-temperature, highly toxic, and extremely corrosive substances?"
The Starfire Insects are already relatively few in number within the entire insectoid race. If they aren't discovered and killed in their infancy, they will mostly grow into Insect Generals, and their attacks will cause massive casualties. If you're prepared for this, your best course of action is to perish together with them.
The worst-case scenario is that you'll be dissolved by its bodily fluids before you even touch it.
"As for whether you want to run away, hmph~ I just want to say, if it's because you want to retreat..."
Your retreat could lead to the destruction of a planet, increased casualties... try it if you think you can walk out of a future military tribunal unscathed.
Waldo's tone turned unusually serious and sorrowful as he finished speaking, saying quietly, "I hadn't become a soldier when I first saw the Starfire Insects."
He was able to achieve what he has today only because he was protected by the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the front lines.
Just as he said, the Starfire Bugs make up a very small percentage of the Zerg population. Even after he entered military school, joined the legion, and fought for so many years, he had hardly ever seen a real Starfire Bug.
But the memories of his youth were unforgettable, and he was always prepared, like that senior, not to back down when he encountered the Starfire Insect.
Upon hearing his words, the player who had been chattering away just moments before fell silent.
He himself brought the topic to such a serious level, so it was impossible for him to lighten the mood at this point.
"There is a starship ahead."
Suddenly, Mu Chen spoke. With the help of the shared vision function, the group of people also saw several combat starships appearing in front of them not far away.
"Um?"
Mingmei, whether sharing a field of vision with Mu Chen or Li Yuan, noticed something drifting out from the stern of one of the medium-sized starships among those starships.
"What is that?" Mingmei noticed the place that flew out, but the next second he saw Hu Yue rush in at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to detect.
They rushed through the small gate that had been temporarily opened to allow the escape pod to leave.
For a fleeting moment, Nanami felt a chill rising from her tailbone as she piloted the escape pod away.
It felt like I had just brushed past death.
"Let's get going!"
Nanami felt extremely uneasy. She had finally managed to escape the clutches of those burly men and sneak over to steal the escape pod and run away.
Not long ago, he seemed to have heard them say that they had discovered a gathering place for the Zerg, but the bad feeling that arose in that instant made him think that this time it was all over.
Fortunately, the group was surrounded by heads and couldn't be bothered with him.
otherwise--
Nanami touched the space button on the mecha, and then looked at her sturdy escape pod, letting out a sigh of relief for the time being.
"boom!"
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a burst of firelight was reflected on the transparent glass of the escape pod. Seven Sea Anemone turned her head and was shocked to find that the starship she had just escaped from had exploded.
The explosion was sudden, startling several starships nearby.
Holy crap!
Nanami finally couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing this, she immediately accelerated and wobbled as she pushed her escape pod away.
Help!
His intuition was right!
Hu Yue, who had just returned from slaying the starship, breathed a deep sigh of relief at Seven Anemones' actions. She spoke of the fleas' prowess and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the laxity and carelessness of her brother's troops.
She's already figured out how to complain about it later.
By the way—
"I think I just saw Nanami Anemone." Hu Yue felt that if she wasn't seeing things, the person who had left the escape pod a step ahead of her was Nanami Anemone.
"Wow~ Did he actually pull it off this time?"
Although Lu Xiaoyao's words were ambiguous, everyone understood her meaning in the current situation. Waldo, however, suddenly gritted his teeth and asked, "Seven Anemones? You know them?"
Mingmei almost forgot about this when she heard Waldo's words!
Isn't this what happened because he was a step behind someone else?
So, you've found your real "enemy," haven't you?
