Chapter 65
The night is getting dark.
Along the way, Fu Qing did discover a lot of strange places. Almost all the mutant beasts they encountered were close to giving birth, or had just finished giving birth.
If it was an ordinary small-sized mutant, it would be fine. It was just a voracious appetite, killing each other, which was very beneficial for the female soldiers to temper their fighting will. After all, the mutants selected by the military were not particularly strong in attack power.
But if it was the mutant mother beast in the deepest part of the rainforest... Thinking of this, Fu Qing had a bad feeling.
Beep—!
[Lu Lin: Dear instructors! Radar information has suddenly become abnormal. There is a large-scale mutant energy reaction deep in the rainforest, and the number of mutant beasts has increased suddenly throughout the rainforest. It is recommended that you lead the female soldiers in your area to withdraw to the base immediately! ]
really.
Fu Qing's face turned cold.
However, soon afterwards, another message from Lu Lin was sent to his communicator.
[Lu Lin: Lieutenant General, the mutant mother beast deep in the rainforest has excess energy reaction and is moving towards the outskirts of the rainforest. According to data evaluation, it should be in a hunting state. It is possible that the protective shield needs to be opened. Return quickly.]
Fu Qing understood what Lu Lin meant. The mutants with excess energy had the ability to control lower-level mutants. In addition, its strong aura would make the lower-level mutants outside terrified and flee. In either case, they were no longer safe inside the rainforest, especially the new recruits.
If the mutant beasts at the edge of the rainforest escaped into the camp in panic, the helpless officials in the camp would probably also suffer.
"All female soldiers, pack up and retreat back to base!"
++++++
The rainforest is hot and muggy, and the trees block out the view.
The female soldiers were all scratching their ears and cheeks because of the heat.
Jacob wanted to throw his anger at Allen: "Oh my god, is the real rainforest so hot? It feels even more terrible than the desert created by the researchers."
Malcolm didn't mind the heat. "I heard that there were actual combat in the rainforest during the joint military exercise? Then wouldn't we be taking advantage? Apart from the Sanchar Empire, we are the only one with a real rainforest, right?"
Huo Ran knew more about the joint military exercises because of his family connection: "The topics of the joint military exercises are random every year, and rainforest combat may not be selected, but rainforest combat is indeed the most difficult, with both good and bad sides."
The female soldiers explored and discussed along the way.
Take a break in this lush rain forest and absorb the scent of the plants.
This is indeed a good place for Yuxie. Perhaps it is because these endangered plants have more vigorous vitality, Yuxie feels that his beast pill has become more solid, and even the sleeping beast body has faint signs of awakening.
Reiki circulates, pure energy rises.
The energy that is barely perceptible to ordinary insects attracted the mutant butterfly to settle down. The mutant butterfly, with its wings shining with golden light and colorful streamers, docilely landed on Yu Xie's shoulder.
At this moment, Yu Xi suddenly thought of Fu Qing's insect wings. They seemed fragile but were extremely sharp. They were the most beautiful wings he had ever seen.
Zakari said gloomily, "The instructor's honey jar must not have been properly covered, and it attracted butterflies. Everyone should be careful to prevent the butterflies from stealing the honey."
Monroe responded innocently, "Yeah, but don't attract the mutant ants."
Awww——!
Hiss, hiss, hiss——!
Suddenly, there was a terrifying beast roar, mixed with a threatening hiss.
The mutant butterflies flapped their wings and flew away, looking like they were escaping in panic. The other mutant beasts that had been following them with eager eyes on them also fled at the first sign of danger, their claws whirring in their grasp.
The female soldiers were alert: What's going on?
Yu Xi stopped and said, "Stay where you are. I'll go over and take a look. Be careful to stay hidden."
Military wives: “Yes!”
He took a few steps forward and found himself covered by trees. He then relaxed his body and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
The closer we got to the source of the sound, the more frequent the roars became. After a moment's rest, we carefully distinguished them and discovered that there were about five or six different types of roars, all of which were extremely painful, far more than the two we had heard before.
Crouching on the treetops and looking down, a huge mutant with scales on its back was stepping on a dozen bloody and gutted mutants and munching on them.
The smell of blood wafted in the air, and the giant python that was hissing and roaring just now had now become a meal for the mutant monster. It used its sharp claws to scratch the python's scales, and then slurped the flesh and bones inside the python's skin like eating noodles, satisfyingly chewing them clean.
Eat the delicious ones first, and throw away the unpalatable ones after taking a bite.
Therefore, the ground was full of mutant beasts that had only their hooves and claws bitten off and then thrown away. They were lying on the ground, howling in pain, begging for death but unable to do so.
Yu Xie observed the mutant beast carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong with it. This mutant beast was too manic and bloodthirsty. It looked more like it was going crazy than hunting, and... He stared at a black crystal on the side of the mutant beast's abdomen.
The crystal stone stabbed deeply into the abdomen of the mutant beast. At this time, the beast's blood had dried up and scabbed. If he had not felt the familiar mutant energy, he might not have easily discovered this thing.
Awww! Roar!
The hungry mutant beast howled to the sky, but it was not enough. The energy of these low-level mutant beasts was completely unable to make up for the energy consumed by its production. Not only that, it also had three newly born cubs that needed to be fed.
It needs more flesh and blood! More!
The mutant monster closed its eyes and listened, the scales on its back tightened and crackled, its sharp claws pressed deeply into the soil, feeling the vibrations brought by the prey running in the distance.
The sound of footsteps——!
It's the footsteps of the insect tribe!
Those insect tribes who had used it for experiments and released it into the rainforest when it was already pregnant! The flesh and blood with rich energy, although it tasted tasteless, was much more nutritious than ore and other mutants!
The female beast, which had just finished giving birth during the day, raised her claws, grabbed the food that was still humming on the ground, and threw it onto the tree trunk.
It’s so noisy——!
Boom——!
The dying foods died one after another.
Oops.
Yu Xie thought to himself, the beast had a strange look on her face and her eyes were shining, obviously she had discovered the whereabouts of the female soldiers. The beast was very fast, and the recruits had to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late.
It happens so quickly!
The female beast pushed the ground with her hind legs and quickly leaped towards the station of the female soldiers!
He turned around and chased after her, and the abundant spiritual energy instantly filled his body. Unexpectedly, the female beast, which was originally running fast, seemed to have discovered something special, and suddenly stopped and took a deep breath in the air.
It’s not the smell, but it’s tastier than the smell!
This is energy! It is energy that is more delicious than mutant energy! It is energy that is more delicious than the flesh and blood of the Zerg!
The female beast's saliva dripped uncontrollably, and she even circled around in place, searching everywhere, completely forgetting about hunting the insects.
Is this female beast sensitive to spiritual energy?
He paused and slowed down, infusing his spiritual energy into the body of a passing mutant beast, and then threw it hard behind the mutant mother beast.
Passing Beast:?
Delicious food from heaven?
Wuhu! I flew!
A sudden parabola flew over the mother beast's head.
!
The female beast stood upright with a fierce look in her eyes.
Just chase after him with all your might!
Passer-by: Don’t come over here!!!
A beast suddenly realized what the sudden disaster was.
A beast suddenly realized what it meant to have unexpected fortune from heaven.
The two beasts fled and the other chased, and they went far away for a while.
It really made me feel relieved.
He thought that the female beast was moving too fast and would probably be full and come back soon, so he had to send the female soldiers out as quickly as possible.
At this time, the female soldiers stationed on the ground were on standby, and they also discovered the changes. The mutant beasts in the forest ran out madly as if they were moving their families. They all squatted on the trees to avoid most of the mutant beasts' collisions.
And… the female soldiers were horrified to find that these mutants were too fertile! How come there were so many cubs? What was going on? Was it the breeding season?
Before the astonished female soldiers could figure out what was going on, the instructor came back and quickly called out to the female soldiers in the tree: "There is a giant beast going crazy deep in the rainforest. Retreat now!"
Zakari opened her mouth wide: "Is this not edible...?"
Female soldiers: …………
Afterword: "…………Shut up."
++++++
Within a few hours of receiving the message to evacuate, the female soldiers hurried and finally withdrew from the rainforest area before nightfall.
"All female soldiers! Check as quickly as possible to see if any of your teammate's insects are missing! Report any missing insects immediately!"
"All female soldiers and guards! Get your combat armor and stand by as soon as possible!"
The group of female soldiers led by Fu Qing rushed out first, and were quickly arranged by the guards to eat, drink, rest and stand by to prepare for the mutant beast battle that was likely to take place soon.
Logically, the federal representatives should have followed other imperial officials to seek refuge, but for some reason, Jiang Zhiming was still waiting outside the rainforest with several federal guards.
The moment Fu Qing came out, Jiang Zhiming rushed over to him: "Fu Qing, are you okay? I'm worried about you."
Fu Qing frowned slightly and nodded politely: "Thank you for your concern, but Supervisor Jiang had better go into the underground shelter as soon as possible. If the situation changes later, we may not be able to take care of you."
Jiang Zhiming smiled and was about to say something, but unexpectedly Fu Qing immediately walked around him and went to the radar screen without even looking at him again.
"What's going on?" Fu Qing walked quickly towards the radar screen. As he asked, he looked around the insect swarm, not knowing what he was looking for.
Lu Lin frowned and replied, "An hour ago, the female beast suddenly retreated for some reason and has been motionless for a long time. As long as it doesn't suddenly move outward again, these fleeing mutant beasts should not be forced into the camp."
Fu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "We should still prepare for the worst."
"yes!"
Winston followed Fu Qing out of the rainforest. Fu Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Winston smiled. "The news came just in time. We were moving slowly and didn't go deep into the rainforest."
Fu Qing nodded, feeling similar to them.
There were already many mutant beasts outside the rainforest area. The female soldiers fought as they walked, and their weapons were severely damaged, so they did not go too deep into the rainforest area. They were lucky.
"Lieutenant General! The female beast has moved! It's running towards the camp again!" a female soldier sitting in front of the radar screen shouted.
Lu Lin's eyes suddenly widened: "How can this speed be... wrong! The female beast is faster! Faster than before!"
"Adjutant Lu." Jiang Zhiming's voice came from behind him slowly: "Aren't we going to open the protective barrier? I think these light spots on the radar screen seem to be about to burst out. If we don't open it now, it will be too late, right?"
Lu Lin obviously didn't understand the other party's implication. He quickly said, "The instructors and recruits who entered the rainforest have not all come out yet. The shield cannot be opened now. If you are worried about your safety, you can go into the underground bunker as soon as possible. There are military females there to protect your safety."
Jiang Zhiming didn't say anything, but the federal guard beside him spoke up: "Adjutant Lu, if the shield is not opened, it will only mean death sooner or later for us. For everyone's safety, we still have to make a decision as soon as possible."
"Heh." Winston suddenly interrupted: "Commander Jiang, I heard that you are the most gentle and kind male insect in the entire federation. Are you so eager to protect yourself now? You said before that I haven't changed much, but now I see that you have changed a lot. I haven't seen you for nearly three years. I heard that you have been recuperating because of your poor health. Could it be that it has affected your personality?"
Jiang Zhiming smiled in surprise: "Winston, you misunderstood me, I was just worried..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of exclamations suddenly broke out at the edge of the rain forest: "They're coming out! They're coming out!"
Jacob, Alan and other insects crawled out of the rain forest, covered in dust and panting loudly: "Insect God, these mutants are crazy!"
Seeing the last of the military wives filed out, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered to the military wife next to him: "It's time to prepare the barrier."
Huo Ran, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, shouted, "Instructor Yuxie asked us to get out first! He went to fend off the giant beast!"
What!!!
Fu Qing pursed his lips tightly, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes: "What's going on!"
Jacob continued, "Originally, we found the problem and ran out together, but halfway through, a particularly ferocious mutant monster chased us out! It was too fast and we couldn't outrun it at all! Because Zakari was too big, he was almost eaten by the monster! Then the instructor said that running like this was not a good idea, so he asked us to go out first and said that he would come out and join us after destroying the monster..."
Winston suddenly felt like Admiral Augustus, and wanted to roar on the spot: "What nonsense!"
Jiang Zhiming sighed softly: "Your Excellency Yuxie is truly righteous."
Fu Qing found something wrong, and he asked in a low voice: "What do you mean you found a problem? Jacob, didn't you receive the warning message?"
Jacob was stunned.
This expression was enough to explain everything. Fu Qing made a huffing gesture with his lips, and Jacob nodded silently and shut up, then obediently took the compressed biscuit handed to him by the female soldier next door.
"Lieutenant General! There is no signal on the communicator! We can't contact the military! All the distress signals sent out a few hours ago are invalid! We are blocked!" The female soldier in charge of communications was horrified.
The number of mutants has increased dramatically and they are rushing towards the camp...
The signal was blocked, and we were unable to request support from the military...
If the female military guards were to go in to rescue them, it would be a sure death. Now the only option left was to open the shield...
The names of hundreds of female soldiers and officials are in Fu Qing's hands. The pressure is no less than the battle of the Winter Beast Tide in the previous life!
Jiang Zhiming walked slowly behind Fu Qing and said with a sad face: "Fu Qing, the number of mutants in the rain forest has increased dramatically for some reason. If we don't open the protective barrier now, it will be too late. Look at the radar screen. These mutants are not far away from us. Do you really want to let hundreds of insects in the camp die together for a bug?"
The insects in Zakari, who were squatting on the ground and eating heartily, suddenly stopped. What did Supervisor Jiang mean by this?
Jacob stuttered, "Supervisor... our instructor hasn't come out yet? Do we have to open the barrier now?"
Monroe was equally puzzled: "Yeah... let's wait a little longer."
Zakari swallowed the compressed biscuit in his mouth and said, "I'm full. I'm going to get my battle armor."
Malcolm also stood up and said, "Yes, I'll go too. I'll delay for a minute if I can."
Huo Ran responded, "I'll go too. I'm scared now. How will I fight on the battlefield in the future?"
Allen took his last sip of water and said, "The instructor is very good. He will be out in a short while if we hold him up."
Paddy gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go too!"
More and more female soldiers responded, and these new recruits ran to the weapon collection area and began to line up to receive the keys to their combat armor.
The female soldiers of Nolifland are strong and unyielding. What they lack most is faith and courage. They will not abandon their companions! Live and die together! Revenge is the only way to avenge a grudge!
Just a fight! They are not afraid!
…
Jiang Zhiming was so angry at these female soldiers that he choked. He tried his best to suppress his temper and said gently: "Fu Qing, that's not what I meant. There are either new recruits or officers in the camp. There are very few female soldiers who can fight and combat weapons. Now the signal is blocked, and I don't know whose conspiracy it is. Even if the officers hide for a short time, there will be a hard battle in the end. Why don't we..."
Fu Qing said calmly, "Supervisor Jiang, a mere mutant beast can't embarrass us, the female soldiers of Nolifland. You probably underestimate us. Lu Lin, you take the new recruits and guards and put on combat armor and stand by at the edge of the rain forest. Don't let any mutant beasts that escape back alive."
"yes!"
"New recruits, you will all be on the battlefield sooner or later. Although it's a little early today, I hope you can see in advance how hard it is for the female soldiers to resist the mutants, and how determined they are to do so. Today it's Lu Lin who's leading the team to resist the mutants, and tomorrow it could be one, ten, or even all of you."
The female soldiers stood tall with bright eyes.
"Winston, I will hand over the battlefield command to you." Fu Qing smiled and said loudly: "This battle will be led by Major General Winston. He is the daughter of Admiral Augustus. You new female soldiers are blessed."
The female soldiers became even more excited and quickly followed Lu Lin and other officers to receive their combat armor.
Winston paused when he heard this, but didn't say anything. Finally, he added, "I know. Be careful and come back soon."
Jiang Zhiming gritted his teeth and said, "Fu Qing, what do you mean? You are the commander here. You want to go in? Do you want to die?"
Fu Qing stepped closer and whispered, "Jiang Zhiming, I just said that you underestimate the military females of Noliflan. I am an SS-level military female. I climbed to my current position step by step with my own strength. There are only a few mutants. I am not a lieutenant general for nothing."
After saying that, Fu Qing looked at Jiang Zhiming and added, "Also, you underestimate the relationship between me and Yu Xie... I am not the only female soldier in Nolifran, but I am his only female monarch. I can't give up on him. I can't give up on him for the position of the commander of the Winter Beast Tide."
Fu Qing took the weapon from Winston and said, "Open the rainforest barrier and wait for us to come back."
