It hadn't even been ten hours since Silin had arrived on this planet, but the situation on this planet had completely changed in less than ten hours.
The Poison Fang members who were usually unwilling to even wear combat suits or anti-radiation jackets were now all wrapped up tightly and wearing the extra thick protective suits that were specially made for the occasion.
They had to admit that Poison Fang did have a lot of talents. Under Caragno's coercion, the people in Poison Fang's research base had modified and upgraded the suppressant to better suppress the growth of the parasites inside their bodies. Although the specialized medicine hadn't been developed yet, it had already solved the urgent problem. At the same time, the combat suits could better protect them from the Birds of Paradise's attacks. However, they were still in a tense state. The slightest tear in their protective suits would turn them into the Birds of Paradise's targets.
However, they couldn't wrap themselves up tightly all day long. Eating, drinking, and defecating were unavoidable, so Poison Fang had set up special isolation rooms in many places. The personnel who entered would be scanned multiple times, and they would only be allowed to enter after confirming that they weren't carrying those dangerous insects.
A few hours later, the number of Birds of Paradise had reached a terrifying number. Although Poison Fang didn't do a precise count, someone had done a rough calculation, and the conclusion they came up with made them feel endless panic. They had tried a series of measures such as burning, freezing, and using drugs, but the results weren't very good. These insects were too fast, and their resistance was also very high. The people in the research base even suspected that these insects had decent intelligence. If that was true, then this war between humans and insects would probably be very difficult. These insects were too good at seizing opportunities.
Right now, Caragno hated Silin and Émouse to the core. He was certain that either Émouse or Silin was the cause of all of this. No matter who it was, Caragno would definitely make them regret being born into this world!
When Caragno learned that the weapons in the armory had disappeared, his gloomy mood turned into a storm. He raised his hand and killed a couple of people who came to report the situation to vent his anger.
The internal conflicts within Poison Fang began to grow. Some people wanted to betray Poison Fang like Émouse, but Caragno ruthlessly suppressed them. This caused the already-red planet to turn even redder.
Knowing that Silin wasn't in the hall, Caragno issued a kill order. Whoever killed Silin would be the next Skeleton King!
The moment he said this, Poison Fang's men became excited and suppressed much of the panic brought about by the insects. They all began searching for traces of Silin.
Inside a warehouse, three Poison Fang members were chatting with their guns. They had just finished their patrol and finally had the chance to sit down and rest.
"Those jumping bugs are driving me crazy!"
"This protective suit is so f * cking awkward. I feel like I've suddenly crossed a ton. I feel like an idiot," another person complained.
"I'd rather wear this. It's much better than being bitten to death by those jumping bugs."
As he spoke, three cold lights suddenly shot towards the three of them. But it didn't cause them any direct harm. The three of them immediately became alert.
"Who is it?!" One of them raised his gun and looked around warily.
"It's … it's over …"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and find him!"
"No … no, our … protective suits are … torn …"
There was no killing intent, no unusual movements. It was just three cold lights that appeared out of nowhere. Before the three of them could react, they had already cut through their protective suits.
The trio stared blankly at the tiny wound on their shoulders, cold sweat dripping down their backs. The Birds of Paradise who had been spying on them from the shadows grew restless.
The three screams caused the atmosphere in the originally quiet warehouse to become strangely eerie. Hearing the screams, the people around them hurriedly surrounded them.
Whoosh. A shadow flashed past them so fast that it was difficult to capture it. Not to mention that they were wearing thick protective suits and their movements were much slower. It was even more impossible for them to capture the shadow that flashed past them.
This person raised his gun and pointed it at the surroundings. After looking around, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. However, the people who had rushed over with him took a few steps back at the same time when they saw him. Because they were all wearing masks, he couldn't see their expressions clearly. However, this person knew that the others definitely didn't look good.
"What on earth happened … ah —"
Before he could finish his sentence, an intense pain came from his back. He knew what this meant. Despair, fear … no wonder everyone retreated. No, I refuse to accept this. Why are you retreating? Why am I the one who got my protective suit cut? Why am I the one who became a sacrifice for those worms? If I'm going to hell, I'm going to drag you down with me!!
This person pulled the trigger, and the others around him also opened fire. Bang, bang, bang! The sound of gunshots rang out incessantly. The thick protective suits that ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate were riddled with holes under the various laser bullets. The 'Birds of Paradise' who took advantage of the situation seemed to be very excited. Mixed with screams and curses, blood, and smoke, it was like hell.
On the other side, at the plaza where Poison Fang used to execute criminals, the people who had been dead for many days were tied to crosses. Right now, at the center of these crosses, Caragno had his men erect special crosses again. They were fire resistant, super low temperature resistant, and corrosion resistant.
Unlike in the past, they didn't tie up the criminals this time. Instead, they tied up the native beasts of the planet. As if they knew the danger they were about to face, these beasts struggled and howled with all their might. The metal chains clanked against each other as they struggled.
Dressed in protective suit, Caragno sat on a high chair and watched the activity below with his head propped on his hand.
These dead people didn't have parasites inside their bodies, and the dead couldn't provide them with good nutrition either. Therefore, they weren't the targets of those jumping worms. That was why Caragno thought of a solution. Although it was a little stupid, it was still a good way to boost the morale of the troops at this stage. The repeated waves of panic had caused Poison Fang's men to become a little nervous. As their leader, Skeleton King naturally had to show his worth as a leader.
After the ten native beasts were tied up, the people on the cross swiftly retreated to the stands.
Then, under their expectant gazes, the jumping worms swarmed towards the native beasts tied to the crosses one after another.
There were worms of all stages of growth, big and small. Since Poison Fang's men were wearing thick protective suits, they couldn't bite through the protective suits in one go. Instead, they might be caught. The Birds of Paradise possessed a certain level of intelligence, so they would only attack people with holes in their protective suits. However, it wasn't easy to encounter people with holes in their protective suits for the past few hours. The Birds of Paradise's reproduction rate was so fast that many worms couldn't obtain enough nutrition. Now that Caragno had released the native beasts, he had undoubtedly given them more food to eat.
The native beasts let out tearing wails. Caragno was very satisfied as he watched the worms burrowing into the native beasts' bodies one after another. He was quite impressed by his own foresight. After discovering this scene, he had set up multiple layers of protection around the breeding ground. Originally, it was only to preserve the meat rations, but now it seemed that the meat rations were quite useful.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Caragno pressed the button beside him. A transparent barrier suddenly appeared from the ground around the cross field and trapped it inside.
