Chapter 331: All successfully joined the army
"He Junlin! I'm here to help you!" Although these three commander-level insects were also at the Innate Stage, they were only at the Early Innate Stage, completely outclassing his Great Perfection Innate Stage.
Without saying a word, Cui Yu'an stepped onto the stage and used the overwhelming pressure of a Great Perfection cultivator to weaken the mantis's strength by a fraction.
Furthermore, the mantis's dual blades are entirely based on its biological instincts in combat, although it vaguely touches upon a trace of the Dao of the Blade.
But Cui Yu'an saw only flaws in the opening and finished off the Twin-Blade Mantis with a double-blade slash and a cross-shaped cut.
No one expected that the seemingly most powerful dual-wielding mantis would be the first to be taken offline.
When Cui Yu'an finally had a chance to make a move, he found He Junlin being beaten back step by step.
There's a vast chasm between acquired and innate martial arts skills, so it's truly remarkable that He Junlin has persevered this far.
However, with Cui Yu'an joining... well... he's no longer needed.
The unicorn beetle, thanks to its powerful defenses, lasted a little longer in Cui Yu'an's hands than the double-bladed mantis.
But even that lasted a while, Cui Yu'an dealt with it, and now only the graceful cockroach and Yufei are locked in a fierce battle.
However, the cockroach's combat experience was clearly superior to Yufei's; while fighting Yufei, it still had some energy left to keep an eye on its other two companions.
When it fought the little girl opposite it, it discovered that her combat strength did not match the intelligence.
It felt unlikely that it could get rid of her and the little girl who kept bothering it today.
It changed its original plan and immediately withdrew after its two companions had kidnapped the two males.
As for dealing with the two little girls, that would have to wait. But what it witnessed sent chills down its spine: its two companions, favored by the Queen Mother, whose name seemed to be Cui Yu'an, were dealt with effortlessly.
It knew its mission had failed, and it decisively abandoned the fight against the little girl.
It quickly unfurled its wings, and in a flash, it created space and escaped.
With the deaths of two Dominator-level Queens and the escape of one more Dominator-level Queen...
The other Zerg also fled. Yufei and the other three looked at the battlefield littered with severed limbs; humanity had once again triumphed.
In a dark corner of the human logistics department
"Your Highness! The three commanders have failed their mission! Two commanders have died on the spot, and one commander has escaped."
"What a bunch of useless idiots! Instruct the Zerg in human logistics to retreat!"
"Yes!"
Deep in the insect hive
"Mother Insect, our mission has failed! The intelligence was wrong. That male named Cui Yu'an had already reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Even with his horn and twin swords, he was no match for him and was killed somewhere."
Seeing that things were going badly, I risked my life to escape back and report to you!
The graceful creature, somewhat resembling a cockroach from Earth, knelt trembling before the Queen Mother, reporting on their battle situation.
"what?!"
The Queen Mother, who had been looking languid, stood up in shock upon hearing E'na's report, then realized she might have been a little out of line.
He slowly sat down, muttering to himself.
"I never expected that such an amazing genius would emerge from the human race! I heard that genius is not even 20 years old! This can't go on! If things continue like this..."
Sooner or later, under his leadership, the people here will become like the humans of that world, crushing us completely, and he's still so young.
I absolutely will not allow it! It seems it's time to visit her.
The Queen Mother tapped the throne with her index finger and gave the order to E'na.
"Commander Elegance, come with me to visit an old friend later!"
"Yes~" When E'na heard that her mother was going to visit an old friend, she trembled even more violently, whether it was her imagination or not. Fear filled her eyes, and her voice trembled involuntarily.
Then, with a wave of her hand, the Queen Mother and E'na vanished from the spot.
Southeast Second District Base
"Damn it! Those damned bastards managed to escape, otherwise they would all be dead on the battlefield!"
Those who had finished fighting outside the base returned to it and, as usual, received a warm welcome from everyone on the base.
Truckloads of Zerg corpses were transported to the processing plant, while the ashes of human comrades were buried in the martyrs' cemetery.
Those who survived also celebrated their second time surviving on the battlefield.
They boasted to their comrades who hadn't participated in the war about their performance on the battlefield, and recounted everything that happened there.
At the same time, Yuan Liu led Cui Yu'an and the others back to the unit, along with Yu Fei and the others.
Yuan Liu looked left at Yu Fei, right at He Junlin, and then at Xie Yiren.
He said "good, good, good" several times, then burst into laughter. As he laughed, his voice became choked with emotion.
He turned his back, wiped his face haphazardly, then turned back, unable to get enough of looking at Yufei and the other three.
"Heavens haven't forgotten us humans after all! Hahaha!"
"Master, you'd better stop laughing. I heard the logistics department was raided by the Zerg?"
Seeing his cheap master's infatuated expression, Cui Yu'an interrupted his infatuation with a bit of exasperation and asked him about the logistics department's affairs that day.
"Hmm," Yuan Liu said, his cheerful smile fading as he nodded seriously, and continued...
"Moreover, the raid on the logistics department was carried out by elite Zerg forces. It didn't seem like they had stumbled upon our logistics support units by chance, but rather that they had specifically targeted them."
"A spy?!" Yufei exclaimed in surprise. The Zerg and the Humans are two completely different races. What is the purpose of this spy?
What good would the destruction of humanity do him?! Could a human like him possibly live comfortably in a Zerg nest then? Yufei didn't quite understand.
Yuan Liu shook his head. "It shouldn't be. I still have a lot of confidence in our people. I plan to conduct another round of screening of the people in the base."
Yuan Liu thought about it. He believed it was unlikely that there would be traitors within the human race. He would believe there might be traitors if it were a war between humans, but he was confident it was impossible for there to be traitors between the Zerg and humans.
The pride of humanity would never allow them to serve as subordinates to the insectoids.
"Brain worm?" Cui Yu'an recalled the worm that the police officer at the base had mentioned to them on their first day at the base.
"Hmm, it's possible they infiltrated our group without us noticing."
Yuan Liu nodded, then, as if remembering something, his serious expression returned to a cheerful one, and he continued...
"Oh dear! Let's not discuss that anymore. I've already instructed my adjutant to take action."
"Yu'an, are these all your friends?" Yuan Liu asked, looking at Yu Fei and the others. He had actually looked into the people around Cui Yu'an and knew about Yu Fei and her friends.
He just hadn't expected Cui Yu'an's group of friends to be so capable.
"Hmm," Cui Yu'an replied, glancing at Yu Fei.
"Would you be willing to join our army like Cui Yu'an?" Yuan Liu asked, extending an invitation.
Logically, all of them were minors and not qualified to join the army, but since an exception was made to allow Yu'an to enter the army...
He was no longer as conflicted about these gifted young men and women joining the army; after all, breaking one rule was breaking one rule, and breaking four rules was breaking one rule too.
Moreover, he sensed that the Zerg attacks had become increasingly frequent over the past year, and he always felt a vague unease.
After much deliberation, he decided to give these talented military geniuses the opportunity to train.
To avoid his premonition coming true, and these geniuses being caught off guard by their rules, delayed training, and lack of practical experience, they might hastily prepare for battle.
Ultimately, it will cause irreparable damage, and by then it will be too late for regrets.
