"Commander, the number of insects suddenly decreased a lot!" Political Commissar Liu put down the infrared binoculars and said in surprise.
"Something must have happened on the other side of the sea. Tell the 9th regiment to withdraw their forces and support the northern front. Old Feng can't hold on for much longer." The division commander, Ren Tongyan, held a new submachine gun and stepped on an insect corpse that rushed into the headquarters before it died. He adjusted the helmet on his head and said.
"Commander, I have a suggestion." the middle-aged staff officer said excitedly.
"Speak!" After Ren Tongyan finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered another officer, "Each regiment, check the ammunition."
The middle-aged staff officer took out the notebook in his hand and said excitedly, "commander, now we have a great opportunity! According to the information we just received, the insects on the other side of the sea did not stop the refugees from crossing the sea to Macau and the peninsula city! I suggest that we immediately send some people to cross the sea from the direction of the peninsula city, and then approach the creep area on the other side of the sea and wait for the opportunity to destroy the insect tomb! "
"No, this is too risky, we can't make unnecessary sacrifices. Moreover, once the insects find out our intention, those refugees will also die. "Political Commissar Liu immediately rejected.
"Political Commissar, according to the insect's usual style, there must be something wrong on their side. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to withdraw so many flying insects at once. They have never separated soldiers and refugees! This is a godsend opportunity for us! "the middle-aged staff officer insisted.
"I still don't agree. Before we figure out the real reason, I don't recommend taking the risk. The military strength and resources are limited. We can't waste a single bullet!" Political Commissar Liu shook his head.
"Commander!" The middle-aged staff officer never got along with Political Commissar Liu, so he tried to persuade Ren Tongyan, "Division commander, we all know how fast the insects can recover. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once we succeed, we can retreat to Jing Ji island!"
"Meng Ziliang, who told you to retreat? If you disturb our morale again, I will shoot you on the spot! "Political Commissar Liu suddenly said angrily.
Meng Ziliang snorted and said, "Political Commissar Liu, everyone knows that we can't hold on for long. Sooner or later, we will retreat to Jing Ji island. Ask anyone, who doesn't know!?"
Political Commissar Liu took out a pistol and pointed it at Meng Ziliang's head, "do you believe that I will shoot you now?"
"What? Elder Liu, Elder Meng, do you still respect me? "Ren Tongyan said coldly.
"Division Commander!" Political Commissar Liu and Meng Ziliang said in unison.
"Get the elites from the Independent Regiment and the Energy Practitioner Division to cross the sea immediately!" Ren Tongyan quickly ordered.
"Yes!" Meng Ziliang was overjoyed. After all, the teacher was still on his side.
"Wait!" Political Commissar Liu looked at Meng Ziliang and said, "Old Ren, military operations must have my signature. This is the old rule, but since you have already agreed to this plan, I have nothing to say. However, I have to add one more thing. Staff Officer Meng will be temporarily transferred to be the special director of this operation. He was the one who proposed the plan, so he is the most suitable person to go!"
Meng Ziliang's face turned pale. He pointed at Political Commissar Liu's nose with his trembling finger and said angrily, "You, you …"
As long as he was wearing his military uniform, he would never dare to say the words "avenge a personal grudge".
"Why wouldn't I dare? This is a military order! " Political Commissar Liu sneered, "Meng Ziliang, ever since the battle at Wu Yang City, you've been afraid of battle like a tiger. You only thought about escaping. If it wasn't for the division protecting you, you would've been executed long ago!"
"Commander? You know, you know the situation of my family … "This reminded Meng Ziliang. He quickly asked Ren Tongyan for help.
"Who doesn't have family situation!" Political Commissar Liu said disdainfully, "Commander, the whole division is watching you!"
Ren Tongyan narrowed his eyes and pulled the bolt of his gun. Suddenly, he shouted, "Meng Ziliang, cross the sea and blow up the grave!"
Meng Ziliang felt like he was struck by lightning. He almost collapsed to the ground. Once the commander gave the order, he would die if he didn't do it.
…
Lee Taidou slowly prepared the weapons and equipment. When the order was given, he was not as excited as before. He was only thinking about how to survive this dangerous mission.
His former colleagues looked at him strangely as if it was the first time they met him. In the past, no matter how dangerous the mission was, only Lee Taidou would urge them to speed up. He had never encountered a situation where he needed others to wait for him.
There were a total of 30 people from the independent regiment and the energy practitioner second division. They were divided into three groups and acted alone to ensure that they could complete the mission.
Carrying bombs on their backs, they sneaked into the crowd of refugees who were eager to escape the battlefield in Hong Kong and rushed to the seaside …
*****
Chu Yunsheng asked Dumb Insect to withdraw all the insects that they could control.
He would not help Yan Min, nor could he help the people in Hong Kong. His and Dumb Insect's combat power was only one-tenth of Yan Min's. They only had a slight advantage in the air.
Humans also couldn't tell the difference between insects and Dumb Insect. Even Chu Yunsheng and Dumb Insect couldn't tell them apart from their appearance.
It was already the best they could do to stop Dumb Insect from attacking humans. If they asked it to attack Yan Min, it would be impossible.
Chu Yunsheng would not ask Dumb Insect to do that. He did not have the right to ask it to do that. He was a human, but Dumb Insect was also an insect.
He could only quietly lie on the top of the no.1 tomb and watch the escalating battle between Yan Min and the people in Hong Kong.
Compared with Yan Min's endless supply of insects, human's defense was getting weaker and weaker. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
"Feng, I have something to talk to you alone." While Chu Yunsheng was still in a daze, Yan Min, whose summoning power had already extended to the war zone, suddenly stopped caring about the war and contacted him.
"What is it?" Chu Yunsheng thought that Yan Min had already won the battle.
"Come to the edge of the creep area, I can't block our conversation from there," Yan Min said sternly.
Chu Yunsheng was startled. 'Did it find out that I am a fake Min? Is it trying to lure me into a trap? '
"Let's talk here, my injuries are not healed yet," Chu Yunsheng said without thinking. Safety first.
"Feng, you can let your combat insects drive you here. This matter is related to Dumb Insect," Yan Min suddenly said Dumb Insect's name out loud, which shocked Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng immediately became vigilant again.
"I just came back from the northern defense line. I wanted to contact you, but you were unconscious. I am very surprised that there is an intelligent entity in your creep area. It said its name by itself, "Yan Min's voice also contained a hint of surprise.
"Is it related to it?" Chu Yunsheng had a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Yes, you may not have recovered yet. There are some things that I need to tell you," Yan Min said very cautiously.
Chu Yunsheng thought for a second, then looked at Dumb Insect that was hovering in the distance. He gritted his teeth, summoned the Zhili combat insect, and carefully flew it to the edge of the creep area.
But he didn't land, he maintained a posture that was ready to escape at any time.
"Feng, can you tell me how the other intelligent entity was born?" Yan Min suddenly asked Chu Yunsheng.
"I don't know," Chu Yunsheng replied cautiously.
"Feng, its intelligence is growing too fast, it is beyond the normal evolution speed of intelligent entities. I have carefully probed it, and the result made me very surprised and uneasy," Yan Min said with a slightly worried tone.
"What do you mean?" Chu Yunsheng also didn't know the answer to this question. He only knew that Dumb Insect had always been a different kind of existence. It loved to learn, it loved to imitate, and the most important thing was that it had an independent consciousness.
"I suspect that it is contaminated by deviants!" Yan Min said sternly.
"Contaminated by deviants?" Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second.
"Yes, the development of its intelligence is completely different from us," Yan Min said with certainty.
"But its intelligence is obviously not more than you and me," Chu Yunsheng retorted.
"You are different from it. I have been wrong about you. I thought that you were a Min with a three-star insect nest. But when you could rely on eating the insects to evolve their abilities, I realized that you had once reached the four-star level. Everything is reasonable." Yan Min paused, hesitated for a second, and then said.
"The problem of intelligence is not the biggest basis for my speculation. Haven't you noticed that it has begun to sympathize with deviants more and more?"
"It was me who asked it to stop attacking humans. We are too weak, it is very easy for us to be beaten back to our original state." At this point, Chu Yunsheng was prepared for Yan Min to attack him at any time. He secretly ordered the type 3 green-shelled insect to prepare to escape back to the no.1.
"Feng, it's not like that. Although its intelligence has grown rapidly, it hasn't reached the level of you and I. With its current level of intelligence, based on the characteristics of my race and the mark of hatred towards deviants, it shouldn't have been able to restrain itself, but it did!" However, Yan Min was not as shocked as Chu Yunsheng thought. Instead, he said worriedly.
"But I have personally felt its deep-rooted hatred towards deviants!" Chu Yunsheng clearly remembered the scene when the seven insects suddenly encountered human beings near Wu Yi Mountain. Dumb Insect's hatred towards deviants was no less than that of Old Purple.
"This is what I am worried about. Its ability to control its hatred is getting stronger and stronger. It even adopted a deviant!" Yan Min said incredulously.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Yunsheng suddenly realized that Yan Min came to tell him about this matter, not to discuss it with him. It had already made its own conclusion.
"I don't know. If it is just the contamination of deviants, then there is still hope. When Shang arrives, you and I can ask Shang to purify it, but …" Yan Min suddenly stopped and said in a terrified tone, "I just got a sample of the slime from your tomb and analyzed it. My race's mark in the life force has shown signs of degradation! This is the reason why I immediately put aside the war and came to find you! "
"What is that?" Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but ask.
"I also don't know. There is no description of this phenomenon in The Book of the Insect. I can only get some vague information from the fragments of the Brood Insect I saw when I first entered the earth. My race once had a civil war! The rebellion started because of the degradation of the mark, "Yan Min said worriedly.
"Are you sure?" Chu Yunsheng asked calmly.
"No!" Yan Min immediately said. "The signs of degradation are not very obvious. If it is just a fluctuation caused by evolution, then it is just the contamination of deviants. So we can only confirm it after Shang arrives."
"Then what do you need me to do?" Chu Yunsheng asked.
"Its development is already out of control. According to The Book of the Insect, if there is no Shang, once it is found to be contaminated by deviants, it must be killed immediately. But I know that you can hand over the slime area to it, but if you can't do that, I can't do anything right now.
As a Min of the same race, the first thing I want to do is to remind you to be careful. The second thing is that I hope you can take measures to monitor its actions. If it is not contaminated by deviants, but … but … I will immediately stop all the attacks on human beings, and join hands with you to kill it! "Yan Min told Chu Yunsheng the plan that he didn't want to hear the most.
