Chapter 57

What's the point of keeping students here?

Su Xiaocai sent a message to Fan Li, "Instructor Fan, I want to ask, who is Major General Mo? Why does he have the right to decide whether students stay or go?"

"Major General Mo is Major General Mo Xianbin. He is responsible for arranging the work of the frontline personnel."

Su Xiaocai: "Are we considered frontline personnel? Shouldn't Colonel Bai be the one who arranged us?"

Colonel Bai is the top leader of the student team.

Even though Major General Mo holds a high position, he cannot overstep his authority and interfere.

Fan Li at the other end of the West District was stunned. Yes, Major General Mo only needed to give orders to the soldiers in Huangyang City. There was no need to mention the arrangements for the students.

Once a person begins to have doubts, that suspicion will linger.

Fan Li looked through the task assigned by Major General Mo. The pattern on the secret order was correct and the task content did not seem to have any major problems.

After checking again and again, Fan Li suddenly realized what was wrong.

Colonel Bai is already the top person in charge.

Logically speaking, the secret order pattern would only appear on his subordinates. Colonel Bai would only ask his subordinates to help issue the task and would not bother Major General Mo.

The conclusion is obvious. It is impossible for Major General Mo, who holds a higher position, to possess this secret order pattern.

Fan Li thought about the recent disappearances. It seemed that someone had spread the rumor that these incidents were related to Major General Mo.

Unfortunately, he was only a warrant officer and could not find out the general situation of his superiors.

Fan Li, realizing that there was a problem, immediately called Colonel Bai for instructions.

But Colonel Bai didn't answer the phone.

I called several times, but Colonel Bai still didn't answer.

He then turned to contact Colonel Bai's two deputies, but it was useless. No one answered the call, as if it had been blocked.

He then contacted several friends in the army, "Do you know where Colonel Bai is? Please ask Colonel Bai immediately to ask him whether he can arrange for the students to return to Mechanical Planet 022 today."

Captain Tai was training students. When he saw Fan Li's message, he asked the students to train on their own first and called Colonel Bai using the base's internal line. However, no one answered the phone in Colonel Bai's office.

Nothing will happen, right?

Captain Tai had a bad feeling, "I hope nothing will happen."

A prophecy.

Colonel Bai received a distress signal from his missing subordinate exactly half an hour before Fan Li called, and was rushing to the battlefield with his communicator turned on, tracking the source of the signal.

Strangely enough, ever since the tracking signal came in, there had been no incoming messages on his communicator.

Colonel Bai was so preoccupied with his missing subordinates that he didn't pay much attention to the details in this regard.

The situation was so urgent that he neglected to order the students to retreat together.

I just thought that Fan Li and the others would first take care of the students' safety and retreat first.

He didn't expect that someone would seize the opportunity to take over his duties and directly keep the students in Huang Yangxing.

Fan Li couldn't find anyone and became very annoyed.

I plan to go back and find other instructors, ignore Major General Mo's orders, and evacuate the students first.

"Boom boom."

Fan Li turned around, leaning on the railing and looking out.

Ahead, the entire area was collapsing rapidly, and several buildings continued to collapse and sink.

what happened?

Feng Wansha shouted, "Su Xiaocai and others are still over there." She wanted to go and save them.

Fan Li shouted: "Ji Heng, get on the plane, carry Feng Wansha and retreat." He also threw out the mecha, grabbed Li Leilei's collar, and quickly jumped into the mecha cabin.

The place where Su Xiaocai was was still collapsing, very deeply, unimaginably deep.

The place where Fan Li and his friends lived didn't collapse, but the building was tilted.

Why was it hollowed out? It was just a minor earthquake and could not cause such a large-scale underground collapse.

There were continuous screams from the ground.

Someone was lucky enough to catch the edge of the collapse and escaped. He patted his chest and turned around to take a look.

Just one glance and he died.

A black tentacle swung out from the ground and pulled him back.

"It's a bug man."

That scream broke the brief silence of Huangyang City, like an echoing death knell, striking hard in everyone's hearts.

Fan Li and Ji Heng flew high to prevent the mecha from causing secondary damage to the fallen area.

I saw insect people crawling out from the ground.

Feng Wansha's hands and feet were cold, her brain was at a standstill, and she didn't know what to do next.

Wu Qingqing and Su Xiaocai were both her roommates, and she couldn't just sit back and watch their safety.

"Ji Heng, call, call quickly." Feng Wansha was so scared that her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't open the communicator.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll contact you later." Ji Heng clicked on Su Xiaocai's number and called.

It rang three times, but no one answered. The cheerful ringtone seemed particularly redundant at this time, like the background sound of a tragedy, making people anxious and uneasy.

Ji Heng waited patiently, he also hoped that Su Xiaocai and the others were safe.

The voices and smiles of Hu Ping and Liu Xun lingered clearly in his mind. Just now they were laughing and cursing and making a bet to see who could persuade more people.

He couldn't accept that something unexpected happened to them.

No, they have Su Xiaocai with them.

The collapse just now really shocked Su Xiaocai.

The moment the ground shook, Su Xiaocai threw out a triangular cage-like protective device.

She locked the three panicked people inside, and was thrown out of the building due to the shock.

When falling, Su Xiaocai took out the grappling hook, hooked a corner of the balcony, and jumped back to the original place.

She took out the detection balls from the space button again and scattered hundreds of them.

After doing this, the communicator happened to vibrate, and a bug man ran straight towards her along the building.

Su Xiaocai sighed: "Does it look so delicious to me?"

She answered the phone, played the sound out loud, pulled out a gun with one hand, and pointed it at the insect man's mouth with several rows of sharp teeth.

Multitasking: "Hello? What's up?"

The red light from the muzzle hit the target accurately and the insect man was repelled.

The building was sinking and rubble was falling from overhead.

She kicked off with her legs and jumped onto the balcony railing, avoiding the rubble.

At the same time, she kicked down the crooked window to prevent the glass from shattering and splashing onto her equipment.

Stand against the wall, hold the hook rope tightly, keep your focus steady, and try to minimize the impact of vibration.

The bug man is not dead yet.

The mouth is destroyed, but it is not a fatal injury to it.

Soon it came back and swung its claws at her face.

Su Xiaocai lowered her head and dodged.

The claws swung at the prey and hit the wall behind, leaving deep claw marks

"Don't worry, we will be fine." Looking at the overwhelming insect people pouring out from the ground, Su Xiaocai could only comfort Ji Heng in this way.

The insect people’s base camp is deep underground in Huangyang City.

The garrison troops who tried their best to know where the mother body was would never believe it even if they were beaten to death.

They dug too deep and hollowed out the rest overnight, so that Wisdom 03 couldn't find it.

The warrior behind him must have a very high IQ.

With so many insect people, the mother body must have been hiding for a long time.

Su Xiaocai slid back and forth on the wall to avoid the insect people.

The shock has not yet ended, Su Xiaocai quickly thinks about what to do.

The three people in the house who were covered with protective coverings were safe and sound even when the ceiling collapsed. They just rolled around inside and were almost fainted.

"Ahhh..." Roll to the left.

"Ahhh..." Roll to the right.

Just like the white ball in billiards, it gets bumped around.

Even with the protection of equipment, my back and waist still ached from rolling around.

Ji Heng listened to the roar of the insect people coming from Su Xiaocai, mixed with the voices of Wu Qingqing and others, and realized that they were in a good situation and were alive and well, and he felt relieved immediately.

"We will contact someone to rescue you immediately."

"No need, you guys take care of yourselves first. I have a way to temporarily block their perception." Su Xiaocai said, and chopped the insect man who had just been shaken out of the balcony due to the shock, cutting off its tentacles.

The situation was not good. The insect man's tentacles regenerated in a short time.

Su Xiaocai felt a slight numbness in her palm and became cautious.

Even with the bonus of equipment and increased strength, it still takes 70% of one's strength to cut off the tentacles.

The insect man that the Capital Star dealt with was like two different creatures from the insect man in front of him.

Before the insect man's tentacles fully grew out, Su Xiaocai shot the rest of its tentacles and then kicked it out of the balcony.

It happened to be crushed under a pile of rocks and abandoned buildings, and was crushed into a meat paste.

Fortunately, the speed of falling was not very fast. Su Xiaocai turned on the suspension device under his feet and just avoided the final impact damage in the last two seconds.

The surrounding buildings had collapsed beyond recognition. Underground, a large amount of dust had been raised, blocking out all light, and everything was gray and hazy, but there were still endless cries of pain and help.

But Su Xiaocai couldn't take care of them.

Through the night vision capability of the helmet, you can clearly see the large number of insect people pouring out from the ground.

She crawled into the dilapidated house, quickly opened Wu Qingqing's triangular protective device, and squeezed in.

Then he sent a message to Ji Heng and Instructor Fan, "Don't write unless you have anything else to do. An, don't worry. We need absolute silence here."

Wu Qingqing and Hu Ping were about to say something.

"Shut up, don't move, and don't even take a deep breath."

The three of them held their breath and dared not move.

The design of the new equipment is somewhat like a space miner's suit. It is quite thick and once you put it on, as long as you don't breathe heavily, you can't tell whether there is a person inside it.

The four people were cleverly positioned, hiding in a dark corner. Half of the wall had collapsed, just enough to cover the triangular device.

The triangular protective device can not only prevent violent collisions, but also isolate breath.

But this thing has limited protection.

If they want to stay alive, they have to pretend that they are dead objects like dolls or models and cannot move.

Insect people emerged from all directions in a rustling manner, their number was outrageous.

Liu Xun grabbed Hu Ping's arm in fear, and Wu Qingqing also pinched his other hand.

Hu Ping said with a sad face: Don’t pinch me, I’m panicking too!

A bug-man passed by overhead, and their hearts rose to their throats.

Pray, don't find them, don't find them.

"Ah." Another shrill cry came from nearby.

The insect people ran over one after another.

The sound of flesh and bones being torn and the sound of chewing with relish seemed to be very close.

They imagined terrible scenes and their stomachs churned, as if an invisible pair of hands were stirring the gastric juice.

One person was swallowed by the insect man, and the second person was also dug out by the insect man.

The insect people did not let go of any corpses that were still emitting residual heat, and they all became their food.

Life around us is rapidly decreasing.

This time, the three of them truly felt the horror of the insect people, as if they were in hell.

They felt very sad, and what was even sadder was that they were powerless to do anything.

Is there no solution at all?
The three of them looked at Su Xiaocai, but Su Xiaocai didn't feel the same. In this situation, if they couldn't save people, saving people would be the same as committing suicide.

They don't know how many insect people there are.

Although Su Xiaocai said that he could deal with many insect people at the same time, that was when they were gathered together.

The location of the mother body is unknown, the condition of the soldiers commanding it is unknown, and even the mecha technology is so backward.

Taking all factors into consideration, Su Xiaocai could only make the rational choice of hiding.

The life and death of the outside world had nothing to do with her. The survival of Wu Qingqing and the others was what she should consider.

Su Xiaocai made a gesture, indicating that they must not make any sound or move.

The insect people's "treasure hunt" continues.

At this moment, a slender tentacle came in along the window. The tip of the tentacle brushed across the triangular protector, leaving disgusting mucus.

It groped along the way, and when it could not sense any living being, it slowly withdrew its tentacles.

Wu Qingqing was so nervous that her calves were shaking.

"Da" the door next to the triangular protective device suddenly opened.

A man covered in blood crawled out.

His eyes were full of fear, and the moment he saw Su Xiaocai, he couldn't hide his surprise. Just now he was disliking them for disturbing his life, but now they were like a life-saving straw.

He stretched out his hand, "Help, help me."

Su Xiaocai twitched her lips. She was not afraid of stupid teammates, but she was afraid of stupid people asking for help.

She held down the three people behind her tightly, preventing them from moving.

The moment the person calling for help makes a sound, it is already doomed to be beyond rescue.

The insect people heard the sound and turned back, attracting more insect people.

Everyone in the room could clearly see the huge eyeball at the window. There was a very small mouth underneath it, which emitted a laugh that was almost human-like.

In this situation, it is particularly dark and terrifying.

"No, save me, please. Aren't you soldiers? Why do you just watch someone die without helping him..." The tentacles of the big eyeball wrapped around the man and dragged him out.

The person seeking help cried and shouted: "You will not die a good death, you will end up like me, ahhhh... go away, go away..."

A long straw extended from the big-eyed worm man's small mouth, and it poked into the human's skull like tofu and started sucking.

The three of them clenched their teeth and kept their eyes open, watching this scene, their eyeballs gradually becoming bloodshot.

Fearful emotions are suppressed and hatred grows.

Don't be timid, don't retreat, drive them away.

The insect men behind did not dare to compete with the big-eyed insect men for food. They squeezed into the house, patrolled the house, and came to the triangular protector.

He looked at the triangular protective device curiously.

It clung to it, revealing the densely packed small holes of its tentacles, which contained barbs. If it was clung to, a layer of the shell would probably be torn off the equipment.

The insect man looked at the humanoid "model" in the triangular protective device and patted the protective device in annoyance, but the "model" inside remained motionless.

Their walnut-sized brains couldn't figure out why they didn't smash the thing immediately, and they just felt bored.

After wandering for a while, he walked out of the house and went upwards.

They didn't know how long they waited, until all the noise outside disappeared.

Wu Qingqing and the other two lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Su Xiaocai carefully took out Wisdom 03, "03, scan results."

Wisdom 03 quietly scanned the surrounding environment, "Master, you are safe for now. There are no insect people within a two-kilometer radius."

"How deep are we."

"Six thousand five hundred meters from the surface of Huangyang City."

"So deep?" Wu Qingqing whispered, "Should we go up? How can we go up? They are all insect people."

Su Xiaocai was also thinking that this was a good opportunity. Since the greedy and cowardly soldiers were wreaking havoc on the surface, she could go find the mother body.

Once the greedy person comes to your rescue, it will be difficult to get another chance.

But can Wu Qingqing and others go with us?
"You guys..." Forget it, Su Xiaocai didn't want them to get involved. "You guys stay here for a while. I'll send you a signal, and then you can go up and meet up with Ji Heng and the others."

"how about you."

Wisdom 03 said: "The underground space has been scanned and can be passed by mechas."

"Of course I'm going to kill the mother." Su Xiaocai opened the triangular protective device and walked out.

"I want to go with you too. With me, at least you have someone to collect the bodies." Wu Qingqing's words successfully broke the defense of Hu Ping, who was listening. "I'm just worried that you'll fall behind, and then I won't know who to call to collect the bodies."

"If we go out now, we might die." There are so many insect people everywhere, they will chase you relentlessly for food, it's useless even if you escape to outer space.

There are greedy ones who can fly and survive in space. There are so many monsters among monsters that they cannot defeat them.

Liu Xun said sincerely: "Sister Cai, why don't we follow you? Our chances of survival will be higher."

Su Xiaocai: "We are going to kill the mother, which is more dangerous."

Liu Xun has been prepared to die as a soldier since he started studying mecha. "I'm not afraid. Even if I die, I want to die as a hero. If you get out alive, remember to help me spread the word."

"Pah, pah, pah, why die? We can all survive." Hu Ping also thought it would be better to follow Su Xiaocai, but he was very calm. "Are you sure you can kill the mother? We don't have many weapons."

Su Xiaocai asked again whether they wanted to go with them.

"Yes." The three of them nodded in unison.

Su Xiaocai handed them a space button and said, "This will be your backup."

Wu Qingqing recognized it as a military machine that Su Xiaocai had modified herself, "Leave your mecha to us as a backup, what do you use?"

The three people had the same idea: it couldn't be that ugly mecha.

Su Xiaocai, who saw through their thoughts, rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?" The Hoe Mecha couldn't even fight the Major's Mecha for a few rounds, so how could it fight against the Matrix?

"I'll also lend you Wisdom 03. You can use it as a navigator."

Wisdom 03's spherical top had two metal cat ears standing up, and he said in a flat voice, "Hello, rookies. I will be your guide from now on. Don't panic if anything happens. If you die, I will mark the location of your bodies."

Three people: "..."

The tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Good, good, this navigator has the style of Su Xiaocai, and once he opens his mouth, he cannot be refuted.

The three of them boarded the plane, and Su Xiaocai took out the small balls, "Little balls, switch to combat mode."

Chibi Maruko said happily: "Great! I hope my brother can help Cai Cai through this difficult time."

After saying that, Chibi Maruko fell silent, opened the metal shell on top of his head, and a round blue ball rose up.

The ball floated up and wandered around Su Xiaocai, saying crazily: "Hahaha, I can fight again, come on, let's go fight."

"Keep your voice down."

Wisdom 01's voice became softer, but it was still as crazy as ever.

Su Xiaocai finally decided to take out her secret mecha.

I have created a Q group, 960735033, anyone interested can join in! I will add people to the group if necessary.
