The seven pillars of light that erupted along the ice river only dissipated after a long time.
The snow mountain and ice river also returned to their usual cold and empty state.
But on both sides of the ice river, many bugman corpses appeared.
The bugmen hiding in the ice and snow around the human side of the river also quickly died due to the death of the core thought body.
Every broodmother could be seen as a huge entity with only one core consciousness. The low-level bugmen were part of this huge entity.
When the core consciousness died, the low-level bugmen attached to the huge entity naturally died as well.
When these bugmen were alive, they could hide in the ice and snow and use their own power to block all kinds of scanning. But after they died, their true bodies would be completely revealed.
Through Heaven's Eye 9, one could see the dense number of bugman corpses along the shore. There were at least a few hundred million of them.
This number sounded exaggerated, but the ice river was hundreds of thousands of kilometers long. In fact, there weren't that many bugmen hiding there.
Just by looking at the entire area through Heaven's Eye 9, one could see the dense number of bugman corpses lined up along the shore. The scene was still shocking.
What was even more shocking was that on the ice river in the bugman territory.
The seven nests were destroyed, and the thought waves that spread all over naturally dissipated.
Heaven's Eye 9 could also see part of the area on the other side.
Heaven's Eye 9 zoomed in and saw a total of seven huge craters on the other side. Without a doubt, those were the destroyed nests.
The destroyed nests left a huge crater with a radius of a few hundred kilometers on the ground.
In the white world of ice and snow, the seven huge craters were especially eye-catching. They were like seven huge black stains on a piece of white cloth.
Around the seven huge craters were countless bugman corpses. Some of the bugman corpses were even densely piled up like some strange and huge puzzle.
It was hard to calculate the number of bugman corpses around the seven nests. Preliminary estimates indicated that there were at least hundreds of billions of them. And this was only what could be seen on the surface.
In fact, because the environment was too cold, most of the bugmen were active in the underground nests.
One could imagine that the number of invisible corpses was at least ten times that on the surface.
There were so many bugmen in the seven nests. Many of the high-ranking officers of the Northern Ice Army felt their scalps go numb. There were also many people who felt lucky.
All this while, although they had tried to overestimate the number of bugmen in the hive, there was still a large gap between their estimates and the actual number.
Fortunately, they did not start a real war. Although they made a mistake, they did not have to pay the price.
"Sir, should we ask the chairman to come back or send reinforcements?"
Zheng Ke made a suggestion.
As the supreme leader of the human race, Gao Zhengyang had been fighting on the frontlines. How could such a huge army like them just watch from the sidelines?
However, Yan Jun wasn't too sure and didn't know how to handle it. He found a problem. Gao Zhengyang seemed to do things casually, but he had his own calculations.
Be it killing Zheng Wangjun or destroying the Bug Queen, they were both effortless and effortless to him.
Yan Jun was afraid that he would attack recklessly and ruin Gao Zhengyang's plan. Moreover, a battle at Gao Zhengyang's level was not something that could be won with just the investment of troops.
There had to be a detailed battle plan and arrangements at all levels. If they were to rush forward recklessly, it would be a bad thing.
Yan Jun pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll contact them first and ask for instructions."
Without the interference of the Bug Queen's thought waves, it was not difficult to contact Gao Zhengyang.
Yan Jun quickly confirmed Gao Zhengyang's location through the Skynet and established a connection.
"Your Excellency, the North Ice Army is ready and can join the battle at any time."
Gao Zhengyang said to Yan Jun, "There's no need. You guys stay at the back first and don't panic. The demons have taken advantage of us. "
As Gao Zhengyang spoke, he glanced at the sky. He had already sensed the auras of a few powerful demons, but he did not have the time to care about them.
Killing the seven Bug Queens seemed easy, but it was actually not that simple.
It was very difficult to lock onto the other party's core thought body. In terms of thought waves, the Bug Queen was the master and the true powerhouse.
Just now, it could only be said that she was caught off guard. She did not expect him to be able to capture the frequency of thought waves. The seven Bug Queens were killed just like that.
Now, the other Bug Queen powerhouses were on guard. This move was not so easy to use.
The Bug Queen had been operating for hundreds of years and had a vast territory at the back.
Many Bug Queen Nests were scattered everywhere. The thought waves weaved into a huge net, covering all the areas occupied by the Bug Queen.
Compared to the coast of the Ice River, these nests were obviously larger and more powerful. They also had a stronger control over the surroundings.
If he did not limit his power, Gao Zhengyang was confident that he could destroy all of these nests. But now, it was a little more troublesome.
Ao Zhen was not as powerful as Gao Zhengyang, but she could also see how terrifying the Bug Queen was.
She frowned slightly and said, "These bugs are actually good at management. Such a huge territory is completely connected by them. "
"These bugs are really good at management."
Gao Zhengyang also had to admit that the Bug Queen's life form made them orderly. The social structure was stable. The bottom would always obey the top.
Such an organization was naturally very stable. However, this also meant that the Bug Queen lacked creativity.
If the human race could keep improving, it would not be difficult to destroy the Bug Queen. Unfortunately, the potential of the human race was also limited. It was impossible to improve endlessly.
From Gao Zhengyang's point of view, the human race had developed to this level and was already close to a bottleneck.
The saying that everyone was like a dragon was just an ideal.
Everyone was like a dragon, but there was no such thing as an ocean!
At the end of the day, development still depended on resources. The human race's use of vitality was almost at its limit. This meant that it would be very difficult for them to have a big breakthrough.
The Bug Queen's use of vitality was inefficient, but their mode was simple. They only cared about breeding the Bug Queen. Such a race had no potential, but they had enough destructive power.
So, as soon as Gao Zhengyang came back, he went straight to the North Ice Mountains.
If the Bug Queen entered the human territory, it would be very troublesome to let them plunder resources and keep breeding.
He had to get rid of the problem before the other party's nest moved.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the Silver Fox and Chen Gang. They stood there like fools, their eyes dull, and they had lost the ability to think.
He had blocked the thought wave attack just now.
Otherwise, just a bit of the aftershock would be enough to scatter the souls of the two people.
Their current state was not because of the thought wave attack. It was because everything that happened was too shocking. Their consciousness could not think normally.
This was also a protection mechanism of the human body. Emotions that were too strong and information that was too exciting would cause the sea of consciousness to automatically enter a stagnant state.
This stagnant state also blocked all information. It gave people a process to slowly adapt.
Gao Zhengyang was a little disappointed. These two were useless. At the crucial moment, they could not even say anything.
He sensed that the powerful thought wave was quickly descending. It would be dangerous to keep these two here.
With a snap of Gao Zhengyang's fingers, the two of them disappeared like phantoms.
When Chen Gang and the Silver Fox woke up, they had already returned to the bar.
Everyone in the bar looked like they had seen a ghost.
The battle between Gao Zhengyang and the Bug Queen was too close. Although there were layers of formations protecting this place. The powerful aftershock of the Bug Queen's thought wave was enough to make everyone panic.
At this moment, Chen Gang and the Silver Fox suddenly appeared. Of course, everyone was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
The group started asking questions at the same time. Chen Gang and Silver Wolf might have regained their senses, but they were still at a loss.
Until now, they still could not figure out what had happened.
Also, it was very complicated. Even if they wanted to say it, they could not explain it in a short time. More importantly, they did not know if they could say it.
Gao Zhengyang, the Bug Queen, Zheng Ke, these were all high-level secrets. What if they were investigated for spreading this?
Although mercenaries were not official soldiers, they still knew how to abide by the rules. If they did not even know this, they would not be qualified to stay here.
Chen Gang and the Silver Fox's strange silence made everyone even more anxious. The group of people kept asking questions in a chaotic manner.
However, a notice was sent to everyone's ears through the Skynet.
"Level ten alert. All personnel along the coast, immediately enter the nearest fortification …"
Zheng Ke and the other high-level members realized that the battle was not over yet. To avoid unnecessary casualties, they immediately informed everyone to enter the fortification.
"Level ten alert. Something big has happened!"
"Are they going to war …"
"Damn it, I want to go home."
Level ten alert was the highest level of alert. Hearing this notice, many mercenaries were frightened.
Their first reaction was that they were going to war with the Bug Queen.
"Go to 0354's base. It's the nearest."
One of the mercenaries shouted and rushed out of the bar.
The other mercenaries did not have time to ask the Silver Fox and the others. They also rushed out in a mess.
In less than a minute, the lively bar was emptied. The floor was covered with fallen tables and chairs, as well as broken wine bottles, glasses, bowls, and so on.
The entire bar looked like a mess, as if it had just been ransacked.
The old bartender was still slowly wiping the wine glasses. He had no intention of running for his life.
Chen Gang and the Silver Fox were still in a daze. They did not want to run with the others. That was why they did not leave.
The Silver Fox looked at the bartender and could not help but ask, "Why didn't you run?"
"What about the bar if I ran? What if someone secretly drank my wine? "
The bartender said angrily, "Were you waiting for me to leave so that you could steal my wine?"
"You …"
The Silver Fox was both angry and amused. "I knew you were greedy, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy. You would even give up your life for money. "
"It's not that exaggerated."
The bartender said confidently, "My bar is a level six building. It's not much worse than the base. It can withstand normal battles. If it really can't withstand, going to the base will only lead to death. "
The bartender shook his head. "Even if I die, I want to die in the bar."
Chen Gang and the Silver Fox both sighed. The two sat in front of the bar. The Silver Fox said loudly, "Give me two bottles of good wine. I almost died just now. Let's drink to celebrate that I'm still alive. "
The bartender frowned and said, "Although today's situation is special, the wine won't be cheap."
"We won't be short of your money."
Chen Gang was a little unhappy. "No matter how poor we are, we can still afford to drink. Besides, we made a lot of money this time. I just don't know when he will pay us … "
Chen Gang asked the Silver Fox worriedly, "He won't refuse to pay because he owes us money, right?"
The Silver Fox shook his head. "With his status, it can't be."
The two of them had some experience and were smart. Now that they thought about it, they could more or less guess Gao Zhengyang's identity.
From their point of view, such a strong person would not refuse to pay because he owed them money. The problem was, if the other party really did not want to pay, they did not have the guts to ask for it.
After witnessing Gao Zhengyang's strength, the two of them also deeply understood the meaning of a strong person. This level was too far apart from them.
While the two of them were discussing, they received a notification from Skynet at the same time: Light Bank has received 2.5 million, please check …
The two of them were both shocked and then overjoyed. Of course, the two of them still very cautiously opened the bank account. Sure enough, there was 2.5 million more in the account.
Such a large row of numbers, no matter how they looked at it, it felt so good.
The Silver Fox was so happy that he danced with joy, as if he had gone crazy.
Chen Gang put his palms together. "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss …"
The bartender looked puzzled. He did not like this situation and coldly reminded them, "If the two of you want to drink, pay first."
"Damn, give me four bottles of Glory!"
Chen Gang slapped the bar in an unusually heroic manner and ordered the most expensive wine here.
Glory was 12,000 a bottle. Although it was not considered high-end. Very few mercenaries could afford it. The bartender only put it there as a sample to improve the bar's grade.
The bartender hesitated and said, "Only two bottles."
"Bring them all."
Chen Gang said disdainfully, "Look at how stingy you are, you don't even have a few bottles of good wine. Can you drink to your heart's content? "
Chen Gang paid, opened the bottle, and poured three large glasses. He raised a full glass and threw it on the ground with a clang. "This glass is to that lord, he is really too awesome!"
The Silver Fox looked at Chen Gang. "You really are a bit arrogant, you are willing to throw such good wine on the ground."
As he spoke, he raised the glass to his nose and took a deep breath. After being intoxicated for a while, he took a small sip. "Good wine, good wine!"
Hearing the Silver Fox say this, Chen Gang also felt a bit of pain. He looked at the broken glass on the ground, and then at the intoxicated Silver Fox. "Let's drink separately. This bottle is yours. "
The Silver Fox's eyes widened. "You are acting cool and I am paying, is it fun?"
At this time, the bartender stretched out his five fingers to block the two of them. The Silver Fox sneered and said, "It is not your turn to be a good person, be a good bartender."
The bartender said lightly, "The broken glass is 50 dollars, pay up."
Chen Gang was stunned, and could not help but laugh. The Silver Fox also laughed.
At this time, a cold thought wave swept through them. Chen Gang, the Silver Fox, and the bartender all trembled. They felt as if their hearts and lungs had been frozen by that cold intent.
This time, no one could laugh.
When the three of them recovered, the bartender shouted, "I have a wine cellar. It can defend against thought wave attacks. Come with me quickly … "
Chen Gang and the Silver Fox did not dare to laugh anymore. The two of them carried the bottle and glass and followed the bartender to the back.
After entering the room, the bartender forcefully stepped on a certain mechanism, and the ground cracked open to reveal an entrance.
The bartender walked up the stairs first, and Chen Gang and the Silver Fox hurriedly followed.
The bartender suddenly stopped. He turned around and said to the two of them, "My wine cellar needs to be charged. One thousand dollars each. "
"Big brother, we will pay, pay …"
At this critical moment, Chen Gang and the Silver Fox could not be bothered to bargain. Compared to their old lives, one thousand dollars was nothing.
After the three of them entered the wine cellar, the heavy door slowly closed. The runes on the door flickered, indicating that the entire formation had begun to operate.
Another thought wave attack fell. The bartender, Chen Gang, and the Silver Fox could no longer stand. They clutched their heads and fell to the ground in pain.
Although they had the protection of the formation this time, the thought wave attack was even stronger.
The three of them huddled together, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They were covered in cold sweat.
"Is the world going to end?"
"What exactly happened …"
"I don't want to die!"
The three of them did not have any feelings for their country. Their simplest thought was to survive.
This was also the truest thought of all the nobodies.
Everyone on the shores of the Ice River was affected by the thought wave attack of the bugmen.
The divine light of runes rose from the military bases one after another. Under the thought wave attack, these defensive formations were all activated.
Although the thought wave attack was powerful, the main target was not the people on the shores. If they hid in the military bases or had the protection of the formations, they would not be harmed.
But for the people outside, it depended on their cultivation. The consciousness of some people with low cultivation bases would collapse under the impact of the thought waves, and they would die on the spot.
However, the unlucky ones were in the minority. With a complete defense system and advance notice, the casualties this time were minimal.
At this time, no one would pay attention to the life and death of these nobodies.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the main battlefield.
The two powerful thought wave attacks just now were directly triggered by the Bug Queen.
Before the Queen of the Insect Race had even appeared, she had already gathered all the Insect Queens to attack Gao Zhengyang.
Learning from the previous lesson, the thought waves triggered by the Bug Queen kept changing. The high-frequency vibration made it impossible for Gao Zhengyang to simulate.
Therefore, the impact of the two thought waves directly bombarded him.
Gao Zhengyang withstood 90% of the power, but the scattered 10% of the thought wave attack was still not something an ordinary person could withstand.
The Bug Queen was very dissatisfied with the result. Gao Zhengyang stood there motionlessly. The thought wave attack of many Bug Queens was like a light breeze to Gao Zhengyang.
Even the woman next to him was unscathed.
Of course, the Bug Queen didn't use her full strength, but after two tests, she found that Gao Zhengyang's mind and body were flawless.
The thought wave attack was still affecting and controlling the mind of living beings. However, Gao Zhengyang's mind was as steady as the endless earth. No matter how strong the thought wave was, it couldn't hurt him.
"The human race has such a powerful being. How terrifying."
The Bug Queen thought back to the hundreds of thousands of years of war, but she had never encountered such a difficult enemy. This put her in a difficult position and even made her want to retreat.
The problem was, now that Ji Yuan had reached this point, where could she retreat to with the bugmen?
While the Bug Queen was hesitating, she sensed the Netherworld Demon Lord's consciousness.
"He is Gao Zhengyang, the most powerful being of the human race. As long as we kill him, the human race will have it easily. "
The Netherworld Demon Lord's consciousness projection appeared in front of the Bug Queen. He said in a deep voice, "Queen, we are willing to work with you to ambush Gao Zhengyang. We will completely eliminate this threat! "
