"Bang!" The explosive charge delivered exactly what it was intended to do.
With a gash in his stomach, Ye Jiu hurriedly piloted his mecha out. The internal structure of the insect queen was actually very simple.
Apart from the stomach, there are only the ovaries and the excretory opening. There are no bones, so Ye Jiu easily found the ovaries, the most vulnerable part of the worm mother's body.
He took out his laser sword, aimed carefully, and swung it with all his might. The ovary was indeed fragile, and the laser sword was destroyed as easily as chopping vegetables. His confidence, which had just been shaken by the insect queen, returned.
Perhaps the insect mother was in pain, because Ye Jiu felt her body shaking violently.
Ye Jiu found laser replenishment and parts in her storage bracelet, and used her mecha pilot abilities to modify the small laser gun in her hand into a simple heavy cannon!
Ye Jiu aimed at the area above the ovary and fired.
With a powerful "bang," the recoil caused Ye Jiu's mecha to slam into her ovary, leaving Ye Jiu inside feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Fortunately, she saw the light of day again. After a few seconds, Ye Jiu crawled out of the gap, her whole body soaked in blue blood. Ye Jiu silently activated the self-cleaning system to give her body a quick rinse. Once this was over, she would give her mecha a full-body maintenance. It had really been hard work.
As usual, light the fire. With the mother insect's large body, it will take quite a while to burn.
Ye Jiu sat inside the mecha, arms crossed, watching the corpse being burned.
The communications soldier who led the team was dumbfounded; he watched as the insect queen devoured him!
Seeing Ye Jiu unharmed, Su Huo finally felt relieved.
He quickly walked to Ye Jiu's side, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but the mecha is damaged. Will you reimburse me for maintenance?"
Su Huo laughed out loud, "Of course, if the military won't reimburse you, I will."
"By the way, where is the mother insect?"
"He's dead." Ye Jiu stepped aside to let him see the raging fire behind her. "Look, the body is still burning. It'll probably burn for a few more minutes."
Su Huo was taken aback at first, then laughed out loud, "Great! That's wonderful! I'll help you apply for merit."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Do you know how amazing it is that you killed the Queen of Insects all by yourself?!"
"How powerful is he?" Ye Jiu asked casually.
"Hmm... even more awesome than me single-handedly clearing out a Zerg nest."
"Wow! I'm so awesome!" Ye Jiu cleared her throat. "So, can I become a major general for fun?"
Su Huo's expression was strange. "It's probably not going to work yet, but it will soon."
Judging from Ye Jiu's current strength, Su Huo believes that her future advancement speed will only be faster than his and Pei Zhiyu's. As for Ye Jiu herself, she seems unaware of her own strength.
"By the way, have you dealt with those bugs?"
"Of course, ultimately it's because you took care of the queen insect, otherwise this matter wouldn't have been so simple."
"So I'm the biggest hero then?"
"Yes, let's go, let's meet up with the others and return to the capital planet."
"So the graduation assessment was cancelled?"
"Well, don't worry, you'll definitely get a perfect score! Hahaha."
Ye Jiu brushed a stray hair from her forehead, "As expected of me!"
Following Su Huo onto the spaceship, Ye Jiu met Pei Zhiyu and Huai Jin in turn.
Pei Zhiyu opened his arms, and Ye Jiu instinctively leaned over to give him a hug. "I'm fine."
Pei Zhiyu gripped the back of her head tightly. "I know."
Ye Jiu still had a faint, metallic scent of insectoid blood on him, but Pei Zhiyu not only didn't find it offensive but also leaned on his shoulder, saying, "We were all very afraid something would happen to you."
Huaijin sat beside them watching them hug, and upon hearing this, she said sourly, "It's almost over, even your sister is annoyed with you."
Pei Zhiyu reluctantly stepped aside to make room for Huaijin. Whether to show his magnanimity or for some other reason, Pei Zhiyu leaned close to Ye Jiu's ear and whispered, "Huaijin is most worried about you. He repaired a lot of mechs during this rescue."
Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow, sat down next to Huai Jin, and naturally took his hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's kind of you that you still remember me, sister." Huaijin squeezed Ye Jiu's hand. "But it's best that you're alright, sister."
He leaned on Ye Jiu's shoulder and said, "Am I useless? You're in trouble and I can't help you at all. I can only worry about you."
"No." Ye Jiu pinched his cheek. "I still remember the first time we met, you proudly said you had already tested three mechs! Where did that pride go? My... little peacock?"
Actually, using a peacock to describe Huaijin isn't quite accurate, but the proud expression of a peacock is very similar to Huaijin's in the past.
Huaijin blushed deeply at her teasing remark, even the tips of her ears turned bright red, and she didn't know how to reply for a long time.
Ye Jiu didn't urge him, but instead lowered her head and played with his fingers. The subtle touch of their skin against each other made him feel itchy. Huai Jin came back to his senses and looked down at Ye Jiu kneading his fingertips.
"Xiao Jin repaired a lot of mechs today, she's amazing! The youngest senior mech pilot in Federation history!"
Huai Jin participated in competitions during his school years and is now a senior mecha pilot, setting a new record for the youngest senior mecha pilot in the Federation's history.
She also repaired and upgraded Ye Jiu's Nightshade many times; otherwise, given her wear and tear, she would have been unable to maintain Nightshade long ago.
"It was just... a small favor, nothing at all," Huaijin stammered in reply. "It's nothing."
Ye Jiu found Huai Jin's reaction extremely amusing. She propped her chin up and studied his expression. Huai Jin's face grew increasingly hot under her gaze, and he even dared not meet her eyes. "Wh...what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Okay, I'm kidding you. By the way, how did your graduation exam go? Was it also canceled?"
"Well, since there's no practical material, we might have to take another day to test it."
"Hiss." Ye Jiu gasped. "What do we do then? How are we going to score this?"
"You haven't made arrangements yet. Many people were injured in this assessment, so I feel like you might find another way to assess them," Huai Jin said, her tone light and cheerful. "But my sister is definitely going to be the top individual mecha soldier this year!"
"Su Huo said he'd help me get a merit award, I just don't know what rank it will be, but I'm sure I'll graduate without any problem, haha. So, my mecha-themed university life is pretty much over!"
Huaijin changed the subject, tentatively asking, "Then... would you like to go out for dinner with me tonight, sister?"
Ye Jiu grinned mischievously, "Is it just the two of us?"
Huaijin nodded firmly, "Yes, sister, you mustn't let them know."
"good."
In recent years, Ye Jiu has always adopted an attitude of accepting all her high-quality suitors without making any promises of exclusivity to anyone. Well... if it weren't for Huai Jin's excessive jealousy, Ye Jiu would bet there would be many more men around her.
However, three is still a lot; carrying water is tiring.
Since you promised Huaijin you'd have dinner with him, then invite them out separately before they find out about this. Su Huo can invite him to the boxing gym, and then he can play board games with Pei Zhiyu.
Yeah, I've got things to do for the next three days! Awesome!
