Chapter 67 Chapter 67 (Part 2)
The basement wall, which had already collapsed at one corner, was still shaking, and the damaged area was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, the entire wall collapsed completely, revealing the dense swarm of insects outside the wall.
Countless red compound eyes stared at the cubs in the basement.
They had only seen these huge and ferocious creatures in the news about the front lines, but now that they were face to face with them, they realized how terrifying the Zerg were.
A single swarm of insects will not make a person lose the courage to resist, but tens of thousands of swarms will.
The trembling feeling of being stared at by countless compound eyes is enough to defeat an ordinary person with a strong will.
The teacher who was standing in front with a gun in hand couldn't help but take a half step back. His arm holding the gun was shaking slightly, but he gritted his teeth and didn't step back.
The cubs huddled together, too frightened to cry.
Only the little mermaid and the little fox remained calm, assuming attacking postures and glaring fiercely at the insects.
The leading insect waved its limbs and took a step forward, lowering its ferocious head and opening its sharp mouthparts as it emitted a low hissing sound.
"If the basement collapses, run, run as fast as you can, don't look back."
If they fought to the death, the children would have a chance to escape, otherwise, no one would be able to escape. The teacher who taught the universal language of the stars was an ancient human. He touched the only hand grenade and gritted his teeth, ready to press the switch.
Suddenly, someone pulled his arm and he froze. He turned around and found that it was Ruan Jiao who pulled him.
This is a quiet cub, very introverted, and has just learned to speak.
The teacher was about to ask him to go back, but found that Ruan Jiao took another step forward.
The tentacles on his forehead no longer swayed restlessly, but stood straight, and his dark red eyes became darker, staring straight at those horrible insects.
His movements were still slow and his steps were not big, but the Zerg troops that were ready to attack seemed to be frightened. They danced their limbs and retreated continuously, even a little panicked in their movements.
Ruan Jiao walked to the front and stood in front of the insect army alone. A hoarse and broken hissing sound came from his throat. If you listened carefully, you would find that the frequency and rhythm were very similar to those made by the group of insects.
The leading insect half-stood up and waved its limbs continuously, trying to attack him several times, but seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to really move.
The skinny cub stood straight in front, without a single moment of fear in his eyes, and actually revealed an air of superiority.
"What, what is this..." The teachers were horrified, and finally shut up again after looking at the Zerg that were in a stalemate and even showing signs of retreating.
They took this opportunity to send a distress signal to the ground, and began to send the cubs out one by one from the rear window.
Some Zerg noticed the movements of the cubs and wanted to chase them in a roundabout way, but Ruan Jiao once again made a high-pitched and sharp hiss, and the Zerg that wanted to chase them fell to the ground in an instant, struggling and waving their limbs.
Meanwhile, rescue finally arrived.
Lan Xin and Rong Heng arrived at the same time. They exchanged glances, turned their backs to each other, and began to clean up the deadlocked Zerg.
"Jiao Jiao! Let's go!" Seeing the situation, the little fox at the back rushed over and tried to run with Ruan Jiao, who was standing still. As a result, Ruan Jiao fell down limply.
The little fox was frightened and could only half-hold him and drag him to the window.
The little mermaid followed beside her, running around in a panic but unable to exert any strength, and her teeth even bit her lips.
Fortunately, the teacher who had sent the cubs out finally got away and took the exhausted Ruan Jiao over. The three cubs went out through the window and quickly moved to another location with the teachers.
——This basement is filled with countless insects and it will probably collapse soon.
While Rong Heng was cleaning up the insects, he talked to Lan Xin: "Why didn't you leave?"
"We left, but encountered a swarm of insects on the way." According to the agreement between the two, Lansing will leave the B3024 planet and disappear for a period of time, creating the illusion that he was ambushed and hijacked. Then he will find a suitable opportunity, pretend to have escaped the pursuit, and return to the Sijialan planet.
He and Rong Heng reached a consensus on the murderer who killed Wright and hunted him down - the new emperor, Si Yan.
The prince died, and the Jewish clan was wiped out from then on.
Even though Si Yan held the position of regent and had married Seyabart, and had won over old Bart to support his ascension to the throne, the decline of the royal family was an indisputable fact.
In the past, the mermaids and the nine-tailed foxes had to keep their dissatisfaction to themselves because they were oppressed by the Judean tribe. Now that an ancient human has become emperor, they will not be so polite.
The conflict between the three ancient tribes and the new emperor has a tendency to escalate, and the mermaid tribe is the most obvious, so Sijia Lanxing will never be suspicious of pushing Si Yan out to take the blame. They may even be happy that they have another reason to oppose Si Yan's government.
Lansing had originally planned to leave B3024 today and then go to some remote planet to hide for a while, but he didn't expect that the shuttle would hit a cloud of insects as soon as it took off.
He realized the danger and rushed to the repair shop immediately, but he came back empty-handed. There was no one in the shop. Finally, he looked over when he saw the Zerg army gathering in the direction of the Cub School.
"Since you're not leaving, it's a good opportunity to help kill the bugs."
A roar of a dragon could be heard from the ground. Hector, who was struggling with the little dragon to fend off the insects on the ground, began to curse: "You have time to chat, why don't you hurry up and kill the insects!"
"I'll leave this place to you." Rong Heng knocked over a few insects with one claw and rushed to the ground again.
Lansing cleaned up the remaining Zergs. Seeing that some Zergs were still trying to drill down, he curled his lips coldly, took out a torpedo, and threw it into the pile of Zergs.
With the sound of the explosion, all the Zergs and the basement were blown to pieces.
Lansing put away his knife and chased in the direction the cubs were retreating.
The exhausted Ruan Jiao woke up halfway. Some of the frightened cubs could no longer run. The three teachers held a cub in each hand and had to take care of the cubs in front and behind them, constantly urging them to keep up.
Ruan Jiao struggled to get off the ground, not letting the teacher hold him anymore. He had just recovered his strength, so he was not running very fast. The little fox and the little mermaid each held one of his hands, leading him to follow at the end of the team.
Nota's ears stood up alertly. While encouraging him, she paid attention to the surrounding environment. When she passed a corner, she suddenly stopped and looked behind her.
With its ten fluffy tails hanging down nervously, the little fox protected its two cubs behind it, bared its teeth and let out a ferocious growl. The insect tribe that had been following them emerged from the shadows and approached, waving its sharp claws.
Ruan Jiao hissed, trying to scare him, but his tentacles just fell softly in front of his forehead.
The approaching insect was taller than any previous one, with its sharp claws waving. It ignored Ruan Jiao's warnings and continued to move closer step by step.
The tentacles on its forehead were turning with ease, as if it was determined to get the three cubs.
Nota showed his claws, gathered strength in his hind legs, and let out a low growl from his throat.
The cold silver eyes gradually turned a light red from the edges.
The tall insect stared at her, and the moment she pounced on it, it swung out its sharp claws.
The ten tails behind it suddenly burst into flames, and the little fox bit the fragile connection of the insect's claws and actually bit off the insect's hard claws.
The claws broke off and fell to the ground. The insects roared angrily, and their arthropods waved wildly, trying to kill this overconfident cub.
But the little fox refused to give in. She raised her eyes, spat out a mouth full of blood and broken teeth, but her momentum was not lost at all.
The little mermaid took Ruan Jiao and hid behind a pillar. He took out the micro blaster his father had given him, aimed at the opponent's vulnerable eyes, and fired.
A beam of high-temperature energy shot out instantly and hit one of the Zerg's compound eyes. The Zerg let out an even more angry hiss and became even more crazy due to the pain.
The sharp claws stabbed the little fox fiercely, and when the little fox dodged, the two prepared limbs stabbed her again. This time the little fox couldn't dodge in time, and was stabbed in the abdomen and thrown heavily against the wall.
The bright red blood spread out, and the little fox fell to the ground dying.
The little mermaid's eyes were red, but she still gritted her teeth and fired one after another.
But this time, the Zerg, which was already on guard, was not so easily hit. It dodged the high-temperature energy beam and rushed towards the two with its limbs waving.
The little mermaid widened her eyes, and the shadow of the Zerg became increasingly larger in her blue eyes.
His arms were shaking, his palms were burned red by the blaster that was heating up from continuous firing, and his arms were numb from the recoil, but even so, he still protected Ruan Jiao behind him.
He had never hated his own weakness so much. If... if he could be as strong as 074, he could protect Nota and Ruan Jiao.
The little mermaid forced herself to hold the blaster tightly and aimed as best she could.
But within a few breaths, the Zerg had already arrived in front of them, raising their sharp limbs——
"It's time to end it." Lansing's voice suddenly rang out. He held a Tang sword in his hand and easily chopped off the head of the Zerg.
The huge insect corpse fell down, stirring up dust.
The little mermaid opened her eyes wide. Without having time to rejoice over her escape from death, she hurriedly operated the cart to check on Nota.
Nota was in a very serious condition. He had fallen into a coma and the penetrating wound in his abdomen was still bleeding.
The little mermaid had seen an emergency method to stop bleeding in a book. He took off his shirt, forced himself to calm down, and recalled the method in the book to bandage her wound to stop the bleeding.
Lansing stood behind him, but did not offer a hand to help: "Don't you hate your own uselessness?" He patted the baby stroller that assisted mobility and said sarcastically: "The strength of the mermaid race is no less than any other race, even though we are just artificial mermaids. But your weakness prevents you from exerting even one ten-thousandth of your race's strength."
His eyes fell on the dying little fox, and he sighed, "Even the lowest hybrid of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is better than you."
"Being a cub forever can indeed help you avoid many things, but when you or the people around you are in danger, you are so helpless. Do you really want to be a protected cub all your life?" His voice became lower and full of temptation.
The little mermaid paused and turned around. Her sapphire eyes were as cold as his.
He doesn't want to.
