Chapter 179: Exploration Encounters Obstacles
In this mode, as long as it is given time, it is possible to evolve into a Zerg warrior.

In an emergency, the captain of the support ship communicated directly with Wu Qingqing and asked her if she could participate in the hacking and slashing operation without affecting her mecha.

As long as she participates and does not fight passively, she can get a cumulative score of 100 to 500 points regardless of whether she completes the final blow or not.

Wu Qingqing: "Follow instructions."

The commander of the support ship, also a colonel, said: "I'll have a technician talk to you, and you will work with her then."

The technician quickly explained the plan. "Hello, Wu, do you see the tentacle near the top of the tower? The body of the insect man extends from here into the tower. Cut it off. We suspect that a part of its important body is inside."

If a powerful ranged enemy cannot be killed, then it must have a weakness.

"Cover these two people."

"Ok."

Without the technician's instructions, Wu Qingqing flew forward quickly.

All the soldiers in the rear concentrated their firepower to help her, and two captains driving customized mechas followed her.

Wu Qingqing's forward route was simply delightful. The amplitude of her evasion was very small, which helped the covert person to aim at the target.

Navigator Xiaowu has already planned an approach route.

Wu Qingqing only needs to get her body used to dodging, and her brain will naturally learn how to avoid danger.

"The vegetable farmers of Su Xiaocai's family are naturally suitable for fighting on the battlefield." The veterans who have been in the army for a long time couldn't help but praise Wu Qingqing for taking every step to the point, without any drag, and without the need for more guidance.

The people of Jun Yue and Yun Ji are strong, but they have never cooperated in collective actions. Fighting in a small team is different from fighting in a large group.

Vegetable farmers can know what you want to do and how to do it at the first time, and they know it better than veterans.

Many generals' attention was involuntarily attracted by the vegetable farmers. Their performance was really outstanding. Ji Heng and Hu Ping even commanded others to advance more quickly and steadily.

Lieutenant General Bai was almost about to cheer for these people.

The key point is that this is a competition, but they are not only focused on the competition. They always remember that they have tasks and disciplines, and they will not jump over other soldiers to snatch.

This is consistent with their original intention of selecting people.

Lieutenant General Bai wanted to recruit them under his command, but he couldn't. When it comes to the allocation of talents, they can only fight for a portion of them. There are as many as ten vegetable farmers, and even if Admiral Bai had reserved them in advance, he could not prevent them from dispersing in the end.

Wu Qingqing approached the signal tower.

The mutated acid-spitting worm sensed danger, and the pustules on its body bulged and it continuously spit out acid mixed with sticky stuff that looked like snot bubbles.

A bug man rushed in without any dodging.

The whole insect man was wrapped in snot bubbles.

Commentator Mr. Niu: "What the hell is this!"

To make a video about fighting insect-men, professional knowledge alone is not enough, one must also be fluent in speech and have clear written expressions.

Mr. Niu was confused. “What’s going on?”

The insect-man that had pierced the snot bubble was like a drowning insect, flailing its tentacles around randomly, trying to get rid of the sticky liquid.

This thing is similar to glue. When you shake it, it actually pulls out strands of mucus. The more you struggle, the more strands of mucus appear, the stickier it becomes, and then it slowly hardens.

I watched helplessly as the insect man's struggles became slower and slower, then he froze and floated in the starry sky.

Not only did the audience find this scene horrifying, even Wu Qingqing didn't want to get involved with it.

The mecha might not even be able to move and would be scrapped during the competition.

Su Xiaocai was very interested in this, so she contacted Colonel Yuan, who stayed in Blue Star and could be contacted at any time.

"I want that snot bubble. Can you guys get me a bunch of it for research?"

While watching the live broadcast, Su Xiaocai contacted him more than once, asking for this material and that material, as if they were private mercenaries.

Colonel Yuan doesn't bother to care about ordinary people, but Su Xiaocai is not an ordinary person, she is the God of Wealth.

Colonel Yuan readily agreed. After all, Su Xiaocai was not stingy in sharing his technology.

Their new aircraft carrier uses protective shield technology to isolate life forms for exploration.

As long as you don't deliberately get close to attack or move, and let it drift at will, ordinary Zerg people will treat the aircraft carrier as a dead object. This technology is very beneficial for propulsion.

It is estimated that if all aircraft carriers are used, the losses can be reduced by hundreds of trillions.

The closer Wu Qingqing got to the mutated acid-spitting worm, the more frequent its attacks became.

There were overwhelming masses of things floating around, and Wu Qingqing nimbly avoided them. The people who were covering her did not dare to use any more firepower, fearing that the snot bubbles would disperse and cause more trouble.

Fortunately, the mutated acid-spitting worms were just greedy ones, not insect warriors, and could not output large amounts of damage continuously. Wu Qingqing rushed out of a wall of acid surrounding her.

Together with Wu Qingqing, the three mecha masters breathed a sigh of relief, but a greater crisis was waiting for them.

They were already very close to the mutated acid-spitting bug-man.

Whenever the mutated acid-spitting worm moves, the signal tower in the middle of the building will rotate on the spot.

The fat tail twitched slightly, and an unprecedentedly large snot bubble was released from the tail of the acid-spitting worm.

Wu Qingqing and two mecha masters retreated.

Xiao Wu issued a warning: "No, no, there is not enough gap behind you, deviate from the course." Xiao Wu recalculated the route.

They now have only one way out.

Sailing in space is different from sailing on land. There is no friction, and if you want to stop propulsion, you can only push in the opposite direction.

The Black Wing has excellent performance and can brake to a stop instantly.

If Wu Qingqing hadn't helped the other two mechas, they would have dived into the snot bubble just like the insect man they had just seen.

Just as Wu Qingqing was walking towards the only escape route, someone released several concussion bombs into the wall of acid and snot bubbles, blowing everything up. Perhaps it was by mistake, or perhaps it was intentional.

The escape route was blocked in an instant.

Xiao Wu had never dealt with a similar direction before, and after a quick calculation he still couldn't come up with an effective method.

He couldn't escape left, right, up, or down because the snot bubble was too big, like an enlarged chewing gum bubble.

Oppressing living space.

What should we do if we dare not act rashly to get support from other directions?
Once you enter the mucus, you will most likely lose the ability to move and be at the mercy of others.

The live broadcast device was the first to suffer. The moment the mucus stuck to it, it could not operate and the outside signal was blocked.

One live streamer engulfed, and so did the second live streamer.

Wu Qingqing's mind went blank. She couldn't just sit there and wait to die. She forced her mind to think, wondering if there was any way she could cover her whole body to increase her chances of survival.

Create space, yes, create space...

"Water, use water. Xiaowu, release all the liquid stored in the space button and wrap us up."

Wu Qingqing quickly pulled the two mecha masters.

"do not move."

All the liquid was released at once, forming a layer of ice around the mecha, which rolled into a ball and closed tightly at the last moment before being swallowed.

Mucus is different from acid. It cannot dissolve the liquids in the mecha and can only be tightly wrapped by the ice layer.

It was so sudden that my dearest died?
People online questioned why the contestants were asked to perform such a difficult task.

It is not enough to sacrifice the soldiers, the players must also be sacrificed.

The audience in the live broadcast room mourned. It was the first time they witnessed death firsthand. It was silent and gone in an instant.

“So sad.”

"Oh my god, it's scary, more real than watching a horror movie, exciting, but helpless."

"I don't want Qingqing to be gone, do you see that? These people hand over important tasks to the vegetable farmers. They are executioners."

"I won't watch it anymore. It's too unfair. It's too cruel. It's a deliberate erasure."

"No, Wu Qingqing accepted the mission herself. Life and death are not up to others. There are always deaths on the battlefield."

"Su Xiaocai, look, please stand up and say something for Wu Qingqing."

Xing Miao's heart tightened and she felt very uncomfortable. She held Su Xiaocai tightly and said, "Wu Qingqing will be okay?"

"It's okay, the navigator is still running. I have done so much death avoidance training for you. If you die in such a small accident, how can you continue to play in the military?"

Su Xiaocai knew that comforting would not work. "You can simulate how you would deal with the same situation. If you have a way to deal with it, then Wu Qingqing has one too."

It's not like we're facing off against Zerg warriors, so it won't be that serious.

Su Xiaocai believes in Wu Qingqing, who can deal with the insect-man mother.

Xing Miao was stunned. She lowered her head to think, it was true. If it were her, she would take the initiative to walk into the acid. That thing had no effect on her mecha.

It can also dissolve snot bubbles, but it will block your vision a little, and it is still easy to get rid of.

If she could think of a solution, there was no reason why the clever Wu Qingqing couldn't. Xing Miao continued to watch other people's live broadcasts at ease.

Someone informed Lieutenant General Bai that Wu Qingqing had lost contact. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, without hesitation, and continued to give orders calmly. Su Xiaocai opened her social media account and commented on it.

"This time we opened the live broadcast so that people can understand how difficult it is for our soldiers. But life is not easy for anyone. If you feel psychological pressure, don't watch it. Just wait and see the results afterwards."

"Also, those who have ulterior motives please stop posting inappropriate comments under my account. Please stop making opposing comments. I will not tolerate those who want to guide public opinion and create chaos in my comment section."

The ambitious people were helpless when they saw Su Xiaocai's speech. Su Xiaocai once again stated his position as a firm patriot.

It's obviously unrealistic to start with her, she won't buy it.

Someone immediately changed the concept and edited the story into one that showed Su Xiaocai was in collusion with the military and political authorities and did not care about his apprentice's life or death.

The text is very radical. Whether it is to attract attention or for other reasons, as long as you read it, you will feel that Su Xiaocai is very cold.

Wu Zhaoxiang was also watching his daughter’s live broadcast when it was suddenly interrupted. His heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

At this time, his communicator was buzzing, and the messages that popped up at this time were either urging him to mourn and accept the loss, or gloating over his misfortune.

Or maybe I'm really worried about him.

Others are more alternative. They call from unfamiliar numbers and ask him if he wants revenge, if he is very angry, and why it is his own daughter who died instead of someone else.

"This is the method used by the military to eliminate those with potential."

"You have the power. Why don't you join us? You pay the money and we can do the work."

Wu Qingqing, who was undoubtedly the one who took the responsibility, was said to have been designed by someone else.

The brave men are portrayed as victims. If you hadn't watched the entire live broadcast, you would have been misled by these people.

Wu Zhaoxiang was furious. His daughter was in trouble and he was almost dying of anxiety. These people were adding fuel to the fire, trying to make him even more upset.

Su Xiaocai happened to send him a message, "Wu Qingqing is definitely not dead, don't let anyone take advantage of her."

With Su Xiaocai's guarantee, Wu Zhaoxiang wrote down the unfamiliar number and gave it to Perlin.

Perrin really thanks Su Xiaocai!
Because she was afraid that people around her would be deceived, she asked more than ten people to add his contact number and provide him with any clues they had.

When Wu Qingqing got into trouble, his communicator kept ringing. Not only Wu Zhaoxiang, but also Hu Ning, and people far away on the Su planet sent him messages.

There were all kinds of weird information. There was even someone pretending to be Su Xiaocai, saying that he, "Su Xiaocai", was on the way to rescue Wu Qingqing and almost paid for the aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier of Blue Star needed materials to be exchanged, but Blue Star didn't have any. He asked them if they could buy the things and send them to a certain address, and someone would go to Blue Star.

In this day and age, why would a scammer choose to cheat Su Xiaocai?

The poor are very cunning and can't afford to spend a few cents, while the rich are very stingy and don't want to spend a penny.

Scammers only deceive those who dream of getting rich all day long.

Those who cling to the God of Wealth will never be fooled.

Can Su Caishen be short of this little money? Ridiculous.

Perrin was convinced.

He won’t care about the scam for now. As long as others haven’t been fooled, he can only give appropriate warnings.

Instead, people were assigned to investigate and find Wu Zhaoxiang's people. The biggest case on hand now is about Xue Huiyi and the Omniscient Cult.

Many people were sent to him from above to assist him in investigating the case.

Back to the game on the Mechanical Planet, Wu Qingqing died during the live broadcast, which caused a stir in public opinion, but the battlefield operations could not be stopped because of this.

Hu Ping is not having a good time either.

They have cleared out the Zerg around the hole in the training ground. To go deeper, they need to quickly establish an energy transfer point here so that when the mecha division goes deep into the mechanical planet, they can quickly recharge here and continue fighting after attracting Zerg from other places.

Clearing out the insect people outside is just the first step.

"Tail number 034, go in and investigate first."

As the first person to explore the way, he was a leader among the soldiers. He was a squad leader and a warrant officer. Hu Ping had a pleasant cooperation with him just now.

"Xiao Hu, watch out. I'll show you how to scout the way in a cool way."

"Okay, brother." Hu Ping was very considerate and almost waved the flag and shouted "Go!"

The team leader first threw a piece of meat with a light source tied to it into the hole.

The piece of meat sank quickly, landed on the ground, and was then swept away by a cowardly insect soldier.

The mecha master reported: "The gravity system is still running, and the camera did not see any high-intelligence bodies (a synonym for mother bodies or warriors)."

This means that when the mecha pilot enters the training ground, he needs to adjust the gravity of the mecha.

"I'm ready to go in."

"Ok."

Before entering, the mecha master pulled out the three metal ropes at the waist of the mecha, handed them to the other two team members, and then slowly moved forward.

Hu Ping and other contestants watched quietly from the side.

As soon as the mecha approached and put half a leg in, it was swept up by a terrifying brute force.

Some insect people gave up the ability to move during evolution.

The ceiling was covered with these bugs, which were fixed directly to the walls, forming barnacle-like shells.

The mecha master adjusted his posture and tried to chop with the magnetic blade, but he couldn't cut through.

The metal-like scales are crisscrossed and covered. The further outward, the stronger the pulling force. The scales buckle against the legs of the mecha and pull it inward.

The people who were covering him immediately went over to help him out. One of them helped pull him out, while the other one fired a shot. The powerful armor-piercing bullet only caused a few scales to fall off.

“So hard.”

It is difficult to hit the same spot again, and they recover very quickly, with scales taking less than five seconds to generate.

More tentacles stretched out from the entrance, and the two mecha pilots pulled them in little by little.

There are only two mecha warriors. If they are caught, not even a bone will be left of them within ten seconds.

"Get out of the way." Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the mecha master who fired the shot threw in a compressed high-explosive bomb.

The compressed high-explosive bomb spiraled into the cave entrance. The tentacles seemed to be aware of the danger and cleverly swung it, pushing the powerful bomb back toward the mecha division.

The frightened onlookers hid quickly, but where are the two captured mecha masters?

Hu Ping gritted his teeth. The compressed high-explosive bomb was timed and would not explode easily when hit, so he took the Insect Killer and used the blade as a tennis racket.

Rush forward, first slow down, then gently push towards the hole to push the high-explosive bomb back to its original track.

Then he pulled the two mecha masters who were getting closer and closer to the cave entrance and shouted in the channel: "Captain, hold on tight."

The words have not yet fallen.

The black wing mecha's energy power is turned to maximum, and it spirals out at super high speed.

More than ten tentacles below twisted into one.

The scales that are just opened are holding the mecha and cannot be loosened. They have strong pulling force, but when they are twisted together, the strength is not enough.

The other end of the tentacle was just pulled out.

The head of the insect man was smooth and covered with blue mucus, with almost no protection. There were five or six mouths scattered irregularly on it, opening and closing like a fish out of water.

Just as they were pulled out, the compressed high-explosive bomb exploded.

The powerful explosion blew the unprotected area to pieces.

The tentacles that were holding onto the mecha were still hanging on it, but they were limp and seemed to have lost their vitality.

"Thank you, Brother Hu." The team leader changed his words very quickly. It took less than three minutes to change from Xiao Hu to Brother Hu. "If it weren't for you..."

"You're welcome, we're all comrades." Hu Ping said with a smile, "It was really thrilling just now. I was also scared and sweating."

The crisis was temporarily resolved by Hu Ping's wit. He asked the officer in the rear, "How about I lead a team next?" The team naturally did not refer to the contestants, but other soldiers. Just now, several team leaders' mechas were damaged and left. Hu Ping thought that since they left, he might as well take over.

He took the opportunity to show his ambition. He just wanted to climb up the ladder. If there was a shortage of squad leaders, he could take over temporarily.

The commander of the support ship said, "Sorry, I don't have the authority. You players should continue the game."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just said that." Hu Ping didn't care. The superior didn't say it was not possible. He just didn't have the authority.

Representatives can operate quietly.

Another gap was blown up above the training ground, and their plan had to be slightly changed. The skylight had to be completely opened first.

I don’t know how many of those things on the ceiling there are.

Just looking at the situation inside through the gap, the entire ceiling was covered with new-style insect people.

This greatly increases the difficulty for divers.

The number of these insect people is obviously abnormal. There are too many cowardly insect soldiers who cannot fly. I don’t know where they came from. Even if they came here relying on the insect people who can roam the universe, there shouldn’t be so many of them.

The commander of the support ship speculated that a mother body appeared on the mechanical planet.

"Sir, the number of cowardly soldiers is not right. They are too dense." Compared with the intelligence obtained from previous explorations, there are much more.
