Chapter 005: Charred Bugs

The second formation of the Wolf Fang Legion was on the road first.

The mountains and forests on both sides flew by, and the wind whistled outside the car. In this whistling sound, there was a faint hissing sound.

"Turn on the insect sound detector." Feng Yu, the captain of the second formation sitting in the command car, heard a faint strange sound from outside the half-open car, and immediately ordered the soldiers to turn on the insect sound detector on the car.

"There is no signal." The soldier listened for a while and shook his head.

"No." Feng Yu frowned, "Listen carefully to the sound outside." [

"Nothing." Several subordinates stuck their heads out of the car and also got something.

"Change the frequency." Feng Yu said. "Adjust to the 60 to 70 frequency band."

"60 to 70?" The soldier was stunned, "You mean there are insects with insect power values ​​reaching this frequency band nearby? How is that possible?"

"Execute the order!" Feng Yu gave the soldier a sharp look, and the soldier hurriedly lowered his head to adjust.

"Oh my god!" Then, the soldier exclaimed, pointing at the phantom screen on the instrument. "In the southeast direction, there is an insect sound reaction!"

"Contact the third formation and inform them of the abnormality in the southeast!" Feng Yu said.

The soldiers immediately got busy and quickly contacted the third formation. Not long after, the third formation also responded-their insect sound detector also found insect sounds in the southeast after adjusting to the 60-70 frequency band.

Then they made a wise decision-stop moving forward. Because the position in the southeast direction is exactly the mountain road they are going to defend.

"What should we do?" The soldier asked Feng Yu.

"Keep moving forward!" Feng Yu's expression was indifferent, "We are soldiers, and soldiers are bound by orders. The order we received is to guard there."

"But..." The soldier hesitated.

"Don't forget that we are soldiers guarding Langya Town." Feng Yu said, "This place is less than 50 kilometers away from Langya Town. When this level of insect power appears, shouldn't we go to scout? Notify each vehicle, turn on the insect sound identifier, and move forward carefully."

The order was quickly passed down, and the convoy drove quickly in the predetermined direction, leaving the stagnant third formation far behind.

Closer and closer, as the distance shortened, the soldiers guarding the insect sound identifier became more and more serious and nervous. The distance was shortened by kilometer by kilometer, and in a place with an open forest belt, Feng Yu ordered the convoy to drive into the forest and hide.

"I need a death squad." He said to his adjutant, "I will lead the team and bring another 100 soldiers."

"Understood." The adjutant nodded and quickly passed the order down. The ten team leaders immediately gathered their subordinates and began to select people.

"What is this for?" The ordinary soldiers didn't know what was going on and were all wondering.

"Those who are not strong enough, those who are not brave enough, automatically retreat!" The captain of the third team whispered to his more than 100 subordinates. "This is an opportunity, an opportunity to act and even fight with the formation leader! What I need is brave soldiers!"

"This is an opportunity", this sentence echoed in Shen Zheng's ears, he seemed to see the military merit waving to him not far away. [

So he stood up resolutely.

"Genius, why are you joining in the fun?" Immediately a new recruit sneered.

"Shut up!" The captain glared at the new recruit fiercely, scaring the other new recruits to stop the ridicule that was about to come out.

The captain looked at Shen Zheng and remembered Feng Yu's words. He couldn't help but become curious: Yes, why can this new recruit with an adaptability value of 98 only have such a rubbish foundation-building insect implanted? Is he a waste with nothing but appearance, or a monster with super potential hidden?

"I still need nine more people." The captain nodded at Shen Zheng, which made Shen Zheng ecstatic. What he feared most was not that there was a swarm of insects waiting for him ahead, but that the squad leader would not give him this opportunity.

"Count me in!" The round-faced Fang He strode forward and stood with Shen Zheng.

"Good job!" The squad leader nodded, "But I don't need new recruits."

"Why?" Fang He was stunned.

"This operation is commanded by the formation leader himself, and the number of people is limited. If there is one more new recruit beside him, he will be more dangerous." The squad leader's reason could not be refuted, Fang He sighed and had to retreat.

"Be careful yourself." He whispered to Shen Zheng as he retreated. "Actually, I want to suggest that you retreat."

"I will be careful." Shen Zheng nodded gratefully at him and did not retreat with him.

Soon, another nine soldiers were also selected, all of whom were veterans who had experienced battles. Unlike the recruits, although these veterans all have strong combat power and experience, they do not disdain to use guns like some of the recruits. They all have two rifles of different lengths behind them, and two pistols, one large and one small, on their waists.

The death squad quickly gathered and was brought to Feng Yu. Feng Yu didn't say much, but took off his officer's long windbreaker and put on a sturdy and fitted combat uniform.

"There is extreme danger ahead." He scanned the faces of the soldiers and whispered. "I need brave soldiers, but I need silent soldiers even more. Everyone must be extremely careful, otherwise they will only become food for insects."

"Understood." A hundred voices answered together at the lowest volume.

Feng Yu took a last look at the team. In a corner, he saw Shen Zheng, so his eyes lit up and nodded silently: "Let's go!"

This is indeed a silent team. Under the personal leadership of Feng Yu himself, all the soldiers kept their faces down and kept their mouths shut, moving forward without saying a word. They moved quickly, and nothing could be heard except the sound of their feet stepping on the ground and their bodies rubbing against branches and leaves.

Feng Yu looked at the small insect sound detector in his hand while looking at the road ahead. He led the 100-man death squad to advance continuously and finally reached the section where the highway was located. They groped through the mountains and forests, looked down at the road below through the dense branches and leaves in the woods, and immediately saw a shocking scene.

The road had been destroyed beyond recognition, and some of the trees beside the mountains and forests were also burning.

Armored vehicles that were destroyed, charred, turned over, or intact were scattered all over the road.

The bodies of thousands of black giant insects covered the surrounding ground. In the center of these black giant insects, there were hundreds of giant insects with shells as strong as steel. Some were torn into pieces, and some were still weakly dancing their tentacles and limbs.

Human corpses were mixed in between these insect corpses. It can be seen that each of them had fought a desperate battle with dozens of giant insects and killed them. [

But in the end, they still fell under the tide of insects.

Feng Yu's heart was trembling. He finally found that the source of the insect sound was those steel-armored giant insects that were about to die, and the "12" on these armored vehicles represented the 12th Military Region.

The purpose of their garrison here was to escort a team from the 12th Military Region through. Now, this team no longer exists.

"Everyone be careful, check the battlefield carefully. If there are mother insects, collect them in time with the insect egg collector; if there are survivors among humans, rescue them immediately!" Feng Yu issued an order, and then rushed out of the forest first, down the hillside, and came to this battlefield full of death.

Except for Shen Zheng, the other people in the death squad are veterans, who are used to the pungent smell of insect corpses, the bloody smell of human corpses, and even the burnt smell of burned corpses, which can't make their nasal cavity feel uncomfortable.

But Shen Zheng can't do it. At first, he was still holding back, but after a few minutes, he couldn't help vomiting.

"New recruit!" An old soldier laughed in a low voice, patted his back and walked away to perform his own tasks.

The other members of the death squad, including Feng Yu, were scattered, keeping a high level of vigilance to prevent the undead insects from attacking them, while checking everything around them.

Only Shen Zheng was vomiting while holding a tree at the edge of the battlefield.

No one noticed that in the charred woods near Shen Zheng, there was the charred remains of a half-armored truck; no one noticed that inside the wreckage, there was a mass of black stuff wriggling. It did not move much, only making a slight sound, slowly and forcefully pushing away some of the mutated steel fragments that trapped it.

A piece of steel made a crisp sound, which people far away could not hear, but Shen Zheng, who was nearby, heard it clearly. Although he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, he did not let down his vigilance. He immediately pointed his rifle at that place and slowly walked over.

The mass of black stuff was still moving, and it seemed that it could not sense that someone was approaching.

"What is this?" Shen Zheng looked over with astonishment, and saw a cat-sized insect struggling in the charred steel. He immediately raised his gun and aimed it at the charred insect.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the charred shell, blinding his eyes. Before he could make any move, the charred shell of the insect had suddenly broken into ash. A faintly glowing insect shot over like lightning, and its six sharp legs fiercely pierced Shen Zheng's forehead.

Severe pain came, followed by a paralysis. Shen Zheng was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body, and the whole person stood there like a statue.

A sound of insects that could not be heard by the ears but could deeply penetrate the mind rang on his forehead. He felt that after the tingling and numbness of his forehead, it began to itch. The itch went into his heart and lungs, making people want to shoot their heads off to end this pain that was more terrible than pain.

But Shen Zheng couldn't do it. His body was no longer listening to him. He felt something invaded his body from his forehead, paralyzing his nerves and slowly occupying it. He felt that his whole body was stuck to an invisible net, and a huge force was pulling this net, making him start to act according to the will of this force.

"I can't just die like this. If I die, what will happen to Xiaoying?" Beads of sweat broke out all over Shen Zheng's body, and his sister's image appeared in his mind.

"I can't die, I can't die!"

He roared in his heart, wanting to fight this external force with all his strength, not for his own life, but for his dearest sister!

However, all this seemed to be in vain. A moment later, the little bug lying on his forehead, like a loach drilling into the mud, slowly drilled into his forehead and into his head. He could feel that there was a terrible force surrounding his brain, and his consciousness began to become blurred.

"No!"

In the desperate and crazy roar of his heart, Shen Zheng burst out with unprecedented power! The power contained in his body that had always been ordinary suddenly broke out, and the strong physical strength brought by the foundation-building bug suddenly magnified thousands of times, repairing all the damage to his nerves in an instant!
