The newly arrived insects were completely annihilated by the Second Army. The worker insects' abdomens were dissected open, their large white eggs dug out for food, and their carcasses piled up and burned clean. Among them were even two queen insects, truly a thankless task for having come all the way to provide a meal for these starving people.
Now that the mother insect egg has been destroyed, no more insects should be attracted here in succession, and we can start preparing for subsequent matters.
People's homes had been destroyed by insects, but rebuilding wasn't too difficult. The federal government had a dedicated department responsible for post-disaster reconstruction, with dedicated funds allocated for this purpose. All the local garrison needed to do was submit a detailed summary report and apply for funding. As for how Derrick Bridges would react to his plan's failure, his outwardly gentle but inwardly furious expression was irrelevant to General Williams.
However, before rebuilding, they would probably still have to make do in the cave, but at least they wouldn't have to worry about food. So many large white eggs and king insect meat would be enough to sustain them for several days, and then the troops responsible for helping them rebuild would arrive.
General Williams and his men were here to rescue the invaders. Subsequent events were no longer their concern. They needed to depart as soon as possible to rescue the other two colonies. They had previously decided to wait until daybreak to prevent a resurgence of the insects. Now that they had discovered the cause of the attack and eliminated it, they no longer needed to wait.
The other two colonized planets are larger than this one. Although the situation is not as critical as here, they are also about to collapse.
General Williams decided to split his troops into two groups. He led half of the soldiers to one of the colonies, while Hall led the other half to the other colony. In this way, with a two-pronged approach, they could solve the insect attack problem as quickly as possible.
When the soldiers of the Second Army left, all the garrison troops and civilians watched them go with admiration and gratitude, and the brave yet approachable General Williams left an indelible and glorious mark in their hearts.
*********
The colony Hall was tasked with rescuing was a beautiful planet, with mountains, water, and lush greenery. Even the houses were made of wood, a rare sight in the Federation. The only drawback was the planet's extremely high gravity, over three times that of other worlds. It was practically impossible for ordinary people to move around, otherwise it would have been a popular tourist destination.
Perhaps due to the planet's gravity, all the inhabitants of this planet are mecha fighters, possessing incredibly strong physiques. Otherwise, they would have perished under the immense pressure. Children with weaker constitutions were shielded from birth and sent to other planets. Otherwise, if they were exposed to the overwhelming pressure, their internal organs and bones would be crushed to smithereens.
Therefore, the fighting power of these residents should not be underestimated. These insects were also affected by gravity and were unable to launch an effective attack for a while. Before the garrison arrived, they were killed by the residents with their own strength. However, as the insects became more and more numerous, the energy of their mechas and weapons was exhausted, and they had no choice but to hide in the underground bunker. After the garrison arrived, the situation did not improve. These insects seemed to swarm here like crazy, and the garrison had no choice but to hide in the underground bunker with the residents.
As Hall and his crew emerged from the colonial sky in their mechs, many of them plummeted slightly, barely coming to a stop just before impact, struggling to rise a fraction. The mechs themselves were incredibly heavy, and combined with triple gravity, they struggled to adjust to the weight, causing them to fall. Fortunately, they were all carefully selected elites with considerable abilities, and they quickly adapted. Falling into the dense swarm of insects below would have been disastrous. However, Hall and those he had personally trained remained steady in mid-air, seemingly unaffected by gravity.
At this moment, the dense sea of insects below was terrifying to look at. However, these insects were also affected and could not fly even with their wings. They could only pile up densely on the ground and crawl quickly towards the shelters where the residents and garrisons were hiding.
Looking at the discordant presence of several enormous Overlords in the sea of insects, already enormous in size, weighing several tons, now, under the influence of gravity, unable to move at all, Hall raised an eyebrow slightly and aimed directly at the worker insects beside the Overlord. The Fire Phoenix Emblem activated, and the massive phoenix, wrapped in blazing flames, swooped down towards the insects below, creating a sea of fire wherever it passed.
Not to be outdone, Chris launched a fireball attack, setting the sea of insects ablaze. The other team members also took advantage of their high altitude advantage and continuously attacked the insects. Some insects tried to resist, flapping their wings and taking flight, but they were no match for Hall and his team.
Under the crushing attack of the team led by Hall, these insects were almost wiped out after about two hours.
The group landed on the ground, folded up their mechas, and entered the underground bunker. As soon as they entered, they were warmly welcomed by the people. Their heroic battle scenes were captured by the surveillance cameras above and all of them were broadcast live to the people's computers.
Hall felt that these enthusiastic people were not at all like the survivors of the previous planet in a miserable state. Instead, they were full of energy. If it weren't for their faces that were obviously thin and sallow due to hunger, he would probably have thought that they had only been besieged for a few days.
Fortunately, due to the heavy pressure, the residents had taken great care when building this underground bunker. It was not only sturdy, but also clean, tidy, and well-ventilated. They even had a hidden river for people to drink and wash. The residents and the garrison had been hiding here for seven or eight days, but there was no odor, and they didn't look as miserable as the survivors on other planets. However, food was limited, so they could only endure hunger and rely on drinking water to fill their stomachs.
Without even needing Hall and the others to say anything, the strongest of them had already rushed out, carrying back a dead overlord, which they then cut open and roasted over the fire. Everyone worked together in perfect harmony, but no one touched the worker insect carcasses. After all, researchers had confirmed that the flesh of worker insects was completely toxin-filled and inedible.
So when Hall and his men cut open the worker insects' stomachs, dug out their large white eggs, and roasted them over the fire to eat, these people were completely stunned. If they had known these worker insects were edible, they wouldn't have had to starve for so long. A few days ago, when there weren't so many insects, they would have gone out with the garrison in mechas every day to fight them, and they had killed quite a few. To just throw them away like that was a shame...
Knowing that there was delicious food in the worker insects' stomachs, people rushed out like crazy to collect food. They had been really starving these days.
The highest commander of the local garrison came to report the situation to Hall. They were also under attack by a large number of Zerg, similar to the previous colony, for unknown reasons, and the number of Zerg was increasing. Hall suspected that there must be mother Zerg eggs here as well. He called Auckland, and together they entered the underground bunker and began to search with their spiritual sense.
Not long after, they found a dark purple insect egg underground beside the dark river.
"You go out first." Hall said to Oakland.
Hall was worried that Auckland would be attacked by the mother insect's mental power. Although it would not cause any harm, the pain was extremely real.
"Yeah, okay." Auckland knew that he was worried about him, so he took the initiative to walk away.

Lanlan: There's something strange about these insect eggs! Hall, my head hurts~
Hall: My wife is fine, look at my powerful feet!
Lanlan: Wait! Leave eggs under your feet!
Hall: What's wrong, wife?
Lanlan: You can't just stomp it to death like that! The most important thing is not to kill it!
Hall: Ouch?
Lanlan: The most important thing is how to cook it!

Auckland secretly collected three copies: one for collection, one to pass around, and one for personal use!
Hall: Wife, I have been feeling that someone is following our family for some time. Have you noticed?
Oakland: You are mistaken!
Hall: What are you hiding, honey?
Oakland: You can’t understand my book!
