"So, knowing that playing it safe won't yield results, why are you leading us to play it safe now?"
At this moment, on a mineral planet in the game map, whose surface was mostly covered with black ore, Mingmei silently buried half of her body in a huge open-pit mine. Under the cover of her body, two thousand-eyed worms and a sickle fly were completely protected.
Li Yuan, who had previously been criticized by Mingmei for not finding a way out by hiding, was now puzzled as to why Mingmei was leading them to hide together.
"Should we just end the game without any strategy, and let them get away with it?"
Mingmei folded her armored wings and blended into the surrounding environment, then said, "Everyone is waiting for the right moment, waiting for their 'teammates' to wear down the enemy. But who will actually do that?"
Mingmei remained silent for a moment, then added, "Anyway, everyone's waiting for each other to make their move, and I'm waiting too. The environment here is great! Because of the ore's radiation signal interference, they can't detect us. In short, these veterans are trying so hard to intimidate us, we can't just give up easily, can we?"
Hearing Mingmei speak so nonchalantly for the first time, Mu Chen glanced at her a couple more times. Although he couldn't read Mingmei's expression from the black beetle's face, his intuition told him that Mingmei hadn't mentioned mythology.
Before he could ask her privately, he heard Hu Yue ask, "Really?"
Mingmei: "Yeah, it's fake. I was just tired from flying."
Mu Chen: "..." Just as expected.
Hu Yue: "..."
How am I supposed to respond to this?
"Yes, take a rest. You're quite tired today too."
Sensing his girlfriend's speechlessness, Li Yuan offered a helping hand.
"Yes, yes, it's quite tiring." Hu Yue chimed in after hearing Li Yuan's addition.
Mingmei was also surprised when she heard their words.
Although what she said just now was just her unintentional honest opinion, Mingmei became even more embarrassed after hearing everyone's comments.
"How about I rest for a bit, and then I lead you out to fight your way out?"
To avoid disappointing everyone's comforting words, Mingmei made a quiet suggestion.
"No, no, no need. It's fine as it is. We can also observe other people's situations. If we can pick up any leftovers, or even become teammates with someone who is alone, that would be great."
When Hu Yue heard that Mingmei still wanted to fight her way out, she quickly stopped her.
It's not the right time for them to act recklessly, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to play it safe for a while so readily.
This place has the perfect combination of timing and location; all it's missing is a suitable insect.
Just as Mingmei and the others thought, quite a few players did notice the commotion of Mingmei and her group being chased and fleeing after the fight.
Unfortunately, although they did want to meet up with Mingmei and her group, when they discovered that Mingmei was being chased by such a long line of pursuers, these players still honestly chose to turn around and run away.
Players: Brother, rest in peace!
Anyway, we can't afford to offend them, so it's best to hide and avoid trouble.
And so, this chase between humans and insects eventually turned into a game of hide-and-seek!
I don't know if it's because I found the right spot, but no one has come to Mingmei's place yet, but other players are having a hard time, it's so sad!
They weren't the main target, but they were discovered by the thorough search. After being discovered, a fierce battle was inevitable. However, some students were indeed not strong enough and were eliminated before they could even fight.
“I think it’s very likely that this place has suitable terrain for hiding, especially for black beetles.”
Doron looked at the dark mineral planet circled on the electronic star map shared by Rui'an and smiled in agreement.
Coincidentally, he thought so too.
"I know."
While replying to Rui'an's words, Doron also ordered his men to continue eliminating other Zerg players in the vicinity.
"You seem to value this very much."
When Ruian heard Doron giving instructions to his subordinates, she was taken aback at first, but then she let out a soft laugh.
The twins' unspoken understanding meant she didn't need to ask further to comprehend Doron's meaning.
"Yes, I don't want any other insects to interfere during the final battle."
Doron knew the area where Mingmei and the others were, but instead of approaching, he chose to join other players in eliminating other Zerg players throughout the game map.
"If we encounter something even more powerful..." Doron's smile held a chilling undertone, completely at odds with his youthful, energetic face. "If we encounter something even more powerful, then I'll have to trouble you, sister, to let me handle it. I don't think you'll fail on that mining planet again, will you?"
"What are you dreaming of? You want all the good stuff?"
...
Completely unaware of his future fate, Mingmei was still on the mining planet, hands clasped, gazing at the sky, contemplating the life of an insect.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and there was no sign of any starships, mechs, or Zerg allies flying over from the horizon.
"Is this some kind of remote corner?" Mingmei felt that the situation was not quite what she had imagined. "At least, if you're just going to pretend, you should at least fly around here a couple of times, right?"
"You said it yourself, just pretend to fly around a couple of times..." Mu Chen and Li Yuan were hiding underground in this mine, but their spiritual power spread throughout the entire planet.
Just like in the bright and beautiful pictures they shared, there really were no people or insects coming.
What Mingmei found strange, they naturally paid more attention to.
"Originally, I thought that even if this planet was exposed and starships or mechs came after us, we could easily eliminate them quietly due to the signal interference from this mining planet. But it turns out they didn't suspect anything at all?"
Mingmei felt that the other party wasn't that stupid. Before, he had used a very elaborate scheme to pursue her, but now?
Are they starting to go blind?
"Is it possible..." Hu Yue, who knew her own legion best among the four, "that...we've already been discovered, but we don't know it ourselves. And they just want to leave us until the very end?"
The more Hu Yue thought about it, the more she felt that this was not impossible.
"My brother's adjutant and secretary both like to save their favorite desserts for last when they eat. If they think we're really that powerful, it's not impossible for them to save us for last."
"So, why are you keeping an eye on your brother's adjutant and secretary?"
Mingmei discovered the blind spot.
Hu Yue: "..."
"We had eaten together before and saw it, so we noticed it."
Hu Yue laughed awkwardly. She couldn't very well say that she thought the siblings were very good-looking, and that there had been rumors in the legion about them and her brother, which she had paid special attention to, could she?
"If that's the case, wouldn't the fighting outside have already gone completely mad?" Mu Chen suddenly said. "If that happens, won't we be completely isolated and helpless in the end?"
Everyone: ? ? !!
That's really true!
"I'm afraid not all the surviving starship mechs will come," Li Yuan said sharply. "I have a bad feeling..."
