Chapter 151 A "Guest" from Another Realm
Wei Yanqing's question was reasonable, but Rong Yi raised an eyebrow, as if he remembered something funny. "Low-ranking ferocious insects are not picky, but the insect race has high-ranking ferocious insects. They are picky eaters, and there are not many planets suitable for them to devour. The ferocious insect's stomach is not omnipotent. When they cannot obtain effective food at their base camp, flesh insects are equivalent to marching rations."
As he spoke, he took out the white insect eggs and examined them closely. "It's a pity that the mother insect is very rare. I wonder if the eggs in this meteorite can hatch into a mother insect. This batch of ferocious insects should have some with high genetic levels, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged for flesh insects."
When ordinary ferocious insects are released, it doesn't matter whether they return to the base camp or not, but those with higher genetic levels are different.
Wei Yanqing leaned over and picked up an insect egg. The eggshell felt quite sturdy. "Why send someone with a high genetic level here?"
Rong Yi leaned back in her chair, saying, "For better evolution, such biodiverse planets are not common. Diversity can stimulate their genetic upgrades." As she said this, she lifted her back from the chair, adding, "It seems like we're going to train little leaders."
Wei Yanqing placed the insect egg back into her palm. "In any case, let's wait and see how the outside world reacts. This insect egg has a chance to hatch. You mentioned you're very curious about its taste."
Rong Yi carefully put away the insect eggs; he was definitely going to have to eat some meatworms in this instance.

The news reports that the incident of animals attacking the city has been handled properly. Multiple teams were dispatched to conduct a thorough search for the animals that were hiding, and all of them were tranquilized with tranquilizer guns and put into centralized enclosures.
Several other teams were also sent to Jingtai Mountain. The general public is unaware of this, but the officials are well aware that the teams that went to Jingtai Mountain last night to carry out the mission were all wiped out, and none of them were able to return.
Shi Haokong followed the team up the mountain. Compared to the city being attacked by herds of animals, the meteorite incident was more important.
"Three suspicious bodies have been discovered ahead."
Upon hearing the team member's report through his earpiece, Shi Haokong immediately said to those around him, "Let's go!"
Upon arriving at the location, Shi Haokong strode towards the area surrounded by people and then saw three corpses: two men and one woman. The corpses were intact and had no injuries other than the initial attack wounds.
“It wasn’t an alien attack,” one of the teammates said.
They've killed alien bugs before and know that those things will devour people if they come into contact with them. Not only people, but according to the information sent back by the team that carried out the mission last night, the alien bugs also attacked animals, which caused all the animals on the mountain to run down.
Shi Haokong crouched down to examine the body. The female corpse had been killed by a single sword strike to the throat, while the other two had their napes severed in half—all were fatal blows.
"Take a picture of their faces, search their belongings, and try to identify them as quickly as possible."
If Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing were present, they would have recognized that the three dead were Ying Mengyun and her group. Unexpectedly, after they left, these three unlucky guys were dealt with by other players.
Police officers nearby took out cameras to photograph the body, and several others took out body bags. After taking the photos, they carried the body inside.
Shi Haokong stood up. "The corpse has been dead for about an hour. It wasn't eaten by the alien creatures during that time. The mission failed last night, so there must still be insects. Judging from this situation, a mysterious group has come here, and their target is most likely those insects as well."
"Then let's set off quickly."
Shi Haokong nodded, and the group continued forward.
More than ten minutes later, based on the coordinates where the information last disappeared, they found the crashed helicopters.
The meteorite that was hooked on the steel cable has disappeared. There are still many footprints at the scene. Since many footprints have the same pattern, we need to wait for professionals to analyze whether they were made by the same person.
Shi Haokong observed the scene and instinctively felt that many people must have been here before.
A team member nearby gritted his teeth and said, "Who on earth could have gotten here with more accurate information than us?"
The mission last night was kept strictly confidential; even those on the official team only found out this morning.
"It must be because of those animals that ran down the mountain." Shi Haokong didn't think it was a problem with internal secrecy.
"So sharp?"
Their city was hit by four small meteorites, but the neighboring city remained unaffected, and they quickly controlled the flow of information.
Shi Haokong: "In short, the mission to Jing Tai Mountain was a complete failure. The alien creatures were stronger than we imagined."
They left the scene with the helicopter wreckage and the remains of the personnel, who were left with only tattered clothes.
According to on-site investigation by experts, the footprints came from at least forty people. Some footprints had the same pattern, but the size and depth of the footprints indicated that they did not come from the same person.
To find out who these people were, the authorities retrieved all the surveillance cameras around Jingtai Mountain and conducted a comprehensive and systematic investigation.

On the other side of the ocean, in a small, well-known country, a meteor shower that attracted worldwide attention resulted in several large meteorites landing in the city center of a place called Bart.
At the time, someone filmed the meteorite falling and posted the video online, which attracted international attention.
A day and a night passed, and many of the people who uploaded videos in this country went silent.
This has sparked heated discussions online.
I saw a meteorite fall on my farm. The police went there afterward, but I don't know what happened.
These meteorites seem unusual; there's been no follow-up news at all.
[Did you see that in Bart Country? So unlucky! I heard that several large meteorites fell in the city center, and several buildings were destroyed.]
I know, I heard they requested firefighting assistance from the neighboring country, but there's been no news since.
Rong Yi checked the information on these international apps on his phone. The meteorite affected the whole world, and in comparison, the countries where they landed actually had fewer meteorites.
"Descended to the city center, and still a small country." Rong Yi shook his head and sighed, "It seems the odds are against us."
Large meteorites can contain at least several million larvae, which are small enough to easily burrow into living organisms.
Not to mention that more than one large meteorite fell in that area, enough to collapse buildings.
Wei Yanqing, sitting in the driver's seat, glanced outside every now and then. They were still parked in the underground parking lot. "Can the Savage Insects dive?"
Rong Yi: "Of course they can, but they don't seem to like salty things, but that doesn't stop them from diving into the sea to eat marine life."
After saying that, she refreshed the page, hoping to see some useful new information.
From the pictures posted by netizens from various countries, she could also see players. Even if it was just a photo, the system immediately told her that this was a player.
Soon, a trending topic caught her attention: "Remotely unlocking someone's phone in Bart Country to obtain videos, it's like hell on earth!"
Clicking through reveals several videos with captions that read: "I am one of the programmers for this phone brand in XX region. Today, officials from XX country demanded that our company unlock a phone whose final location was in Bate country in order to obtain all the information recorded on the phone yesterday. After seeing this content, we risked our lives to release it. Everyone, please be careful!"
There were many comments below, but Rong Yi wasn't in a hurry to read them.
