Star Wars Civilization

Chapter 005: Burnt Insects

The second formation of the Wolf Fang Legion was on the road first.

The mountains and forests on both sides flew by, and the wind howled outside the car. Amidst the whistling sound, there was a faint hissing sound.

"Turn on the insect sound discriminator." Feng Yu, the captain of the second formation, who was sitting in the command vehicle, heard a vague abnormal noise from outside the half-open vehicle and immediately ordered the soldiers to turn on the vehicle's insect sound discriminator.

"There is no signal." The soldier listened for a while and shook his head.

"That's not right." Feng Yu frowned, "Listen carefully to the sounds outside." [

"It's nothing." Several subordinates stuck their heads out of the car and found something.

"Change the frequency." Feng Yu said. "Turn to the 60 to 70 band."

"60 to 70?" The soldier was stunned. "You mean there are insects with power levels in this frequency range nearby? How is that possible?"

"Execute the order!" Feng Yu gave the soldier a sharp look, and the soldier hurriedly lowered his head and adjusted.

"Oh my God!" Then the soldier exclaimed, pointing to the magic screen on the instrument. "In the southeast, there is an insect sound reaction!"

"Contact the third formation and inform them of the anomaly in the southeast!" Feng Yu said.

The soldiers immediately became busy and quickly contacted the third formation. Soon after, the third formation also responded - after their insect sound discriminator was adjusted to the 60 to 70 frequency band, they also discovered insect sounds in the southeast.

Then they made the wise decision to stop moving forward. Because the location in the southeast is exactly the mountain road they want to defend.

"What should we do?" the soldier asked Feng Yu.

"Keep going!" Feng Yu said with a calm expression, "We are soldiers, and soldiers have the duty to execute orders. The order we received is to guard the place."

"But..." the soldier hesitated.

"Don't forget that we are soldiers guarding Langya Town." Feng Yu said, "This place is less than fifty kilometers away from Langya Town. If there is an insect with this level of insect power, shouldn't we go and investigate? Inform all vehicles to turn on the insect sound detector and proceed with caution."

The order was quickly passed on, and the convoy moved quickly in the predetermined direction, leaving the stalled third formation far behind in a blink of an eye.

Getting closer, getting closer, and as the distance shortened, the soldiers guarding the insect sound discriminator became more and more serious, and their mood became more and more nervous. The distance was getting closer and closer, and at a place with an open forest belt, Feng Yu ordered the convoy to drive into the forest and hide it.

"I need a death squad," he said to his adjutant. "I will lead the team and bring a hundred soldiers with me."

"Understood." The adjutant nodded and quickly passed on the order. The ten team captains immediately gathered their subordinates and began the process of selecting people.

"What is this for?" The ordinary soldiers didn't know what was happening and were all wondering.

"Those who are not strong enough or courageous enough will automatically retreat!" the captain of the third team whispered to his more than a hundred subordinates. "This is an opportunity, an opportunity to act or even fight with the formation leader! What I need are brave warriors!"

"This is an opportunity", these words echoed in Shen Zheng's ears, and he seemed to see military glory waving to him not far away. [

So he stood up resolutely.

"Genius, why are you joining in the fun?" A recruit immediately sneered.

"Shut up!" The squad leader glared at the recruit, scaring the other recruits into immediately stopping their taunts.

The team leader looked at Shen Zheng and remembered Feng Yu's words. He couldn't help but become curious: Yes, why can this recruit with an adaptation value of 98 only be implanted with such rubbish foundation-building insects? Is he just a piece of trash, or is he a monster hiding some super potential?

"I still need nine more people." The team leader nodded towards Shen Zheng, which made Shen Zheng ecstatic. What he fears most is not that there is a swarm of insects waiting for him ahead, but that the team leader will not give him this opportunity.

"Count me in!" The round-faced Fang He strode forward and stood with Shen Zheng.

"Great!" The squad leader nodded, "But I don't need new recruits."

"Why?" Fang He was startled.

"This operation is under the personal command of the formation leader, and the number of people is limited. With one more recruit by his side, he will be in more danger." No one could refute the squad leader's reasoning, but Fang He sighed and had no choice but to retreat.

"Be careful." He whispered to Shen Zheng as he stepped back. "Actually, I'd like to suggest that you go back."

"I'll be careful." Shen Zheng nodded gratefully to him and did not retreat with him.

Soon, nine other warriors were also selected, all veterans who had experienced the battle. Unlike the new recruits, although these veterans each have strong combat effectiveness and experience, they do not disdain the use of guns like some of the new recruits. There are two rifles of different lengths behind their backs, and there are two pistols, one large and one small, on the left and right sides of their waists.

The death squad quickly gathered and were brought to Feng Yu. Feng Yu didn't say much, he just took off the officer's long trench coat and put on a strong and well-fitting combat uniform.

"There is extreme danger ahead," he whispered, scanning the faces of the soldiers. "I need brave warriors, but even more so, I need silent warriors. Everyone must be extremely careful, otherwise they will only become food for worms."

"Understood." A hundred voices answered together at the lowest volume.

Feng Yu took one last look at the team. In a corner, he saw Shen Zheng, so his eyes lit up and he nodded silently: "Let's go!"

This is indeed a silent team. Under the leadership of Feng Yu himself, all the soldiers marched forward without saying a word with their faces solemn and their mouths closed. They moved quickly, and apart from the sound of their feet stepping on the earth and their bodies brushing against the branches and leaves, nothing else could be heard.

Feng Yu looked at the small insect sound discriminator in his hand and at the same time looked at the road ahead. He led the 100-man death squad to advance, and finally reached the area where the highway was. They walked through the forest and looked down at the road below through the dense branches and leaves in the forest. They immediately saw a shocking scene.

The road has been damaged to a great extent, and some trees beside the mountain forest are also burning.

Armored vehicles that were either destroyed, charred, rolled aside, or intact were scattered all over the road.

The corpses of thousands of black giant bugs covered the surrounding ground. In the center of the corpses of these black giant bugs, there are hundreds of giant bugs with carapace as strong as steel. Some have been torn apart, and some are still weakly dancing with their tentacles and limbs.

Human corpses were mixed among these insect corpses. It can be seen that each of them has fought to the death with dozens of giant insects and killed them. [

But in the end, they still fell under the tide of insects.

Feng Yu's heart was trembling. He finally discovered that the source of the insect sounds was those giant steel-armored insects that were about to die but were not dead, and the "12" on these armored vehicles represented the Twelfth Military Region.

The purpose of their garrison here was to escort a team from the Twelfth Military Region through. Now, this team no longer exists.

"Everyone, be careful and check the battlefield carefully. If there are female insects, collect them with egg collectors in time; if there are survivors among humans, rescue them immediately!" Feng Yu issued the order, and then rushed out of the forest first, following the instructions Walking down the hillside, we came to this battlefield full of death.

Except for Shen Zheng, the others in the death squad are all veterans. They are used to the pungent smell of insect corpses and the bloody smell of human corpses. Even the scorched smell of burned corpses cannot let them down. I feel the slightest discomfort in my nasal cavity.

But Shen Zheng couldn't. At first, he was still holding back, but after a few minutes he couldn't help it anymore and started vomiting.

"Young recruit!" A veteran laughed in a low voice, patted him on the back and walked away to carry out his mission.

The other members of the death squad, including Feng Yu, spread out, maintaining a high level of vigilance to prevent undead insects from attacking them, while checking everything around them.

Shen Zheng was alone, holding on to a tree and vomiting on the edge of the battlefield.

No one noticed that in the charred woods near Shen Zheng, there was the charred remains of half an armored truck; no one noticed that inside the wreckage, there was a black thing wriggling. It didn't move much, it only made a slight sound, and slowly opened some of the mutated steel fragments that trapped it.

A piece of steel made a crisp sound, which could not be heard by people far away, but Shen Zheng who was nearby heard it clearly. Although he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, he did not let go of his vigilance, and immediately used his rifle to target I found the spot and walked slowly over.

The black thing was still moving, and it seemed that no one was approaching.

"What is this?" Shen Zheng looked over in shock and saw an insect the size of a kitten struggling in the charred steel. He immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the charred insect.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the charred shell, dazzling his eyes. Before he could make a move, the charred insect's shell had suddenly shattered into ashes, and a bug emitted a faint light like lightning. It shot over and the six pointed feet stabbed Shen Zheng's forehead hard.

Severe pain came, followed by a burst of paralysis. Shen Zheng was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body, and his whole body stood there like a statue.

A kind of insect chirping that could not be heard by the ears but could penetrate deeply into his mind was ringing on his forehead. After he felt the tingling and numbness on his forehead, he began to itch, an itch that penetrated into his heart and lungs. , which makes people want to shoot their heads off to end this pain that is more terrible than the pain.

But Shen Zheng couldn't do it, his body no longer obeyed his orders at all. He felt something entering his body from his forehead, paralyzing his nerves, and slowly taking over. He felt that his whole body was stuck to an invisible net, and a huge force was pulling on this net, allowing him to start acting according to the will of this power.

"I can't just die like this. What will happen to Xiaoying if I die?" Big beads of sweat seeped out from his body, and the figure of his sister appeared in Shen Zheng's mind.

"Can't die, can't die!"

He roared in his heart, wanting to use all his strength to fight against this external force, not for his own life, but for his dearest sister!

However, all this seemed to be in vain. After a moment, the little bug on his forehead, like a loach burrowing through the mud, slowly burrowed into his forehead and into his head. He could feel that there was a terrible force surrounding his brain, and his consciousness was beginning to become blurry.

"No!"

In the desperate and crazy inner roar, Shen Zheng burst out with unprecedented power! The ordinary and extraordinary power contained in his body suddenly burst out, and the strong physical strength brought by the foundation-building bug suddenly amplified a thousand times, repairing all the damage to his nerves in an instant!
