Chapter 186 Bomb Defusing
After forcibly suppressing the stray male insects, Heras sent insects to investigate.
As expected, there is a rich supply of explosives buried under the island, and there are almost indestructible fortifications outside. Once detonated, the interior will be destroyed and the outside world will be completely unaware.
If it is not dismantled, it may explode at any time during evacuation.
And since Wally is still here.
If he didn't care so much about his own life, he would probably choose to die with them.
“Organize its removal immediately.
Heras took out the optical computer and wanted to call in some female soldiers for external support, but found that the signal in the optical computer was very weak.
No longer able to contact the outside world.
"What's going on?"
When Heras asked this question, he already knew the answer in his heart. This was probably Wally's doing, in order to prevent him from asking for help from the outside world.
However, the number of female soldiers here is far from enough to defuse the explosives.
It may be impossible to dismantle the explosives before the food supply here runs out.
Not to mention that the time for the explosives to explode is likely to be very close.
But now, even if it is not feasible, it must be done.
Heras mobilized all the female soldiers he could to carry out bomb disposal and comfort work.
Limp moved among the male insects, cursing and soothing them and distributing protective measures to them.
The food originally prepared on this island was not very complete, and now all the insects can basically only drink nutritional supplements.
As for the fish in the sea...
It’s not certain who will eat whom.
When Heras heard that Limp was interested in the creatures in the ocean, his expression became a little surprised, but he still expressed a certain degree of respect.
"Then I'll go get one for the male master now?"
Due to the difference between land and sea, they have been able to live in peace with the creatures in the ocean in recent years. At most, they just pick some seaweed. However, if they kill the same species of sea beasts and are discovered, the Zerg, which is already under attack from all sides, will be even worse off.
Limp knew he had misunderstood and did not continue to insist: "No, I can drink the nutritional supplements."
The day after the female soldier dismantled the explosives, the shortage of manpower was already very clear, and Wally also arrogantly stated that the explosives would explode within 24 hours.
Although his movements are restricted and he cannot reach the remote control, it does not prevent the explosives from completing their mission under the influence of other factors.
"How about sending these male insects over to help dig? Even though they don't have much mental strength, they still have enough strength to dig with a shovel, right?"
Limp couldn't get used to the idle look of those male insects, who just ate and slept every day, and occasionally had a small quarrel with other insects. The female insects would even play some tricks to please their bodies and minds.
He doesn't look like someone who was captured, but rather like a gentleman who is on vacation, completely relaxed.
Insects must have some value to warrant the protection of Heras and others.
Limp looked at the bugs and felt a little like a mother looking at her lazy children.
“It’s not impossible.”
Heras thought about it and went out to work.
After staying with the male insect for too long, Limp felt a little exhausted and didn't want to stay alone, so he stuck to Heras and went out as well.
Xie Si, who had just returned from outside and was in urgent need of rest, was left behind to do ideological work for these male insects and persuade them to participate in the bomb disposal work.
Xie Si brushed off the dust on his body. There was still some dust and sweat stuck to his hair, and there were several long bloody scratches on his arms. He looked very miserable.
After taking a few sips from the water bottle beside him, Xie Si found a chair and sat among the male insects.
"There are many bombs on the island we are on now. I'm afraid that the female soldiers alone cannot dismantle them all. And time is a bit tight, so we need everyone to join us."
However, before he could finish his words, he was met with a lot of rebuttals.
How could a male insect, who always puts his own interests first, care about the life and death of a female soldier? And how could he be willing to take the initiative to work?
"Why don't you let us evacuate? Your lives are not worth living, but our lives are precious!"
"The males here account for 95% of the males on the main star. If something happens to us, can you afford it?"
The male insects discovered that Limp, who had been suppressing them, was gone, and many S-level male insects instantly stood up.
Even without that bug, their position among these bugs is still very strong and influential.
"We just won't dig, what can you do to me?"
Xie Si took a few more sips of water. He was not surprised at their reaction at all. He said coldly, "Then it's an honor. We will die together on this island."
"Who gave you the guts to talk to us like that?"
"Your boss, Heras, has to laugh at me. How dare you ask us to dig the soil? Isn't that too much of a favor to you?"
Some male insects feel sick at the thought of having to work, and their reactions become more severe.
Even though these military girls came to rescue them, so what?
"Perhaps you deliberately brought us to this island in order to stop us from resisting and to continue promoting gender equality."
"That's right, even if you saved us, we wouldn't be grateful to you, let alone now you actually want us to work for you."
Xie Si caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards the insect that was roaring the most fiercely, and they were wrestling with each other, but he did not stop it.
Instead, he asked in an unsteady tone: "How many of you are willing to work? Please stand up for a moment."
Only four bugs stood up: Willy, Eastman who was fighting with a bug, a pale bug, and Swordsman in a wheelchair.
Xie Si's gaze lingered on the swordsman's seemingly disabled leg, and without asking him how he stood up, he nodded.
"In that case, the nutrient supply this afternoon will only be for these few insects. The other insects will have to figure out a way on their own."
After saying this, he tilted his head back to drink the water. After finishing all the water in the bottle, he picked up the shovel and walked out again.
The few male insects still standing there were stunned for a few seconds, then followed.
There were also some male insects with unstable minds who did not stand up, but after hearing that there was no food to eat, they still felt that they should join in and help.
Also followed hesitantly.
The house had been opened before, but there was a protective wall outside the island that prevented anyone from getting in or out, so their activities were limited to the island.
Now even sending messages using a light computer has become a luxury.
Eastman didn't get the tool, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he was pushed out by several other bugs.
He walked towards Xie Si, looking back every step of the way.
