Chapter 115 In Memoriam of My Compatriots
Benlei, a Four-Awakening True Martial Path Processor belonging to the Third Team of the East City Branch, is the leader of the Ranger Group's execution team.

Whether in terms of operational experience or tactical planning, he is among the best of all the team leaders in various branches and even headquarters.

He participated in planning large-scale operations such as containing the Ghost Stories Notebook and besieging the branch of the Ember Church.

Li Yelai also met Team Leader Benlei during the mission to contain the Ghost Stories Notebook.

He and his Ranger squad were the first official team to discover the Disaster Fog and be swallowed by it.

They were in the underground area of ​​the former church branch, now the official No. 1 shelter.

It was the first to encounter the disaster fog and issued a warning before being swallowed up, giving humanity about twenty minutes to react.

This allowed a large number of people to enter relatively safe shelters, indirectly saving millions of lives.

He can be called a great hero in the midst of disaster!

However, as one of the first groups of humans to be swallowed by the disaster fog, the authorities have been unable to find Benlei, his team, or the workers and clerical staff.

Life and death do not know.

But the officials in charge knew that he had most likely already sacrificed his life.

Being swallowed by the disaster fog does not necessarily mean death; those swallowed will enter the fog's isolated space.

Otherwise, Li Yelai and the others would have been wiped out long ago.

However, the place where Benlei and his group were swallowed was the descending underground passage, which left them with no chance to escape.

They can only be surrounded and devoured by an endless swarm of insects.

Unexpectedly, Benlei has now been rescued.

As Li Ye approached, he dared not recognize the once robust and cheerful man. His body was mutilated; both legs were severed from the mid-thigh, with protruding bone spurs and rotting flesh at the breaks. The rest of his body looked as if it had been dissolved in solvent, his shoulders drooping like half-open umbrellas. A large amount of hair had fallen out, and several festering sores were visible on his exposed scalp.

If he still retained some of the features of Benlei on his face, probably no one would think he was Benlei.

What exactly happened to him?
"Quickly! Get the head of the epidemic medical team from the East City here!"

"The captain of West City's Holy Hands team is ready."

"Prepare for a blood transfusion!"

"Heartbeat nearly stopped, prepare for electric shock!"

A team of technicians rushed towards the operating room with Benlei.

The handlers made way, looking astonished; some of them had clearly recognized Benlei's identity.

They only began to talk and ask questions in hushed tones after Benlei was taken into the operating room.

It turns out that a group of processors discovered a somewhat unusual war worm while venturing deep into an underground tunnel dug by abyssal worms.

The war insect seemed to be in great pain, rampaging wildly through the tunnel, crushing many lower-level insects.

It also ignored the orders of the nearby strategist worms and engaged in battle with the swarm.

A Zerg civil war?

Holding the belief that one should strike while the iron is hot, and the idea of ​​dissecting and studying unusual things.

Before the swarm could retrieve the war bugs, the team launched a direct attack and annihilation campaign. During the battle, the war bugs were ripped open inside their bodies.

That person was Benlei, who had been swallowed into the belly of the war insect for some unknown reason.

The reason why the war insect is in such agony and madness is because the Thunderbolt it has swallowed is struggling and attacking inside its body.

His sudden appearance in the midst of the battle caught both the human group and the Zerg swarm off guard.

Immediately, an even fiercer battle erupted. The number of Zerg swarms increased dramatically, with many that were attacking other human shelters being mobilized.

Before the main swarm of insects could surround them, the official team retrieved Thunderclap and then rushed back to the East City branch's shelter as quickly as possible.

"As one of the first psionicists to be swallowed by the calamity fog, Benlei may have important information that we do not know."

"But it could also be a conspiracy by the swarm."

"They are highly intelligent; it is said that Zerg units capable of producing illusion spores have already appeared."

"We'll have to wait until Benlei recovers from his injuries before we can discuss any of this."

"He's alone. Where are the rest of the Rangers?"

The processors were buzzing with discussion.

However, the blaring alarms inside the shelter interrupted their conversation.

A swarm of insects is approaching the shelter and appears to be about to attack it!

This is an incomprehensible move, as this shelter currently possesses considerable combat power.

Nearly five hundred psionicists, along with a large army and forbidden artifacts. If necessary, the civilians will also take up arms to fight the swarm.

The swarm would have to pay a heavy price to take over this shelter.

Why was there absolutely no warning?

Could it be because of Benlei? Do they not want the authorities to obtain any intelligence from Benlei?
Or is this a conspiracy orchestrated by the Zerg to make the authorities understand it this way?

But whatever it is, the fact remains that the swarm of insects is coming!

"Prepare for battle! All standby operators, proceed to your battle positions!"

The handlers acted immediately.

Li Yelai, along with Jing Lin and several official psionicists, quickly rushed out of the underground bunker.

The original shops and buildings on the grounds of the branch have long since been transformed into solid fortifications, riddled with numerous firing positions.

Organized border guards and city defense troops are operating densely packed, bloated anti-aircraft artillery and various guns to unleash terrifying firepower into the distance.

When Li Yelai rushed out of the underground bunker, what he saw was an overwhelming swarm of insects crashing against the various human positions like a tidal wave!
Their numbers were particularly large, and those flying beetles even obscured the sky, which was shrouded in a hazy mist.

Human firepower is terrifying: artillery fire, machine guns, and molten metal bombs.

They initially suppressed the insect swarm to within hundreds of meters, but with the emergence of the fighting insects on the front lines,
They transformed into mobile fortresses for the swarm, withstanding heavy firepower and covering the swarm's advance towards human defenses.

At the same time, the war bugs were also thrown from the rear, sending swarms of bugs into the defensive line, where they instantly clashed with the human warriors.

Fortunately, each defensive line has psionicists and border guards present. With them there, even in close combat, these swarms of insects can't cause much trouble.

However, the sudden outbreak of war made the officers' faces serious.

"Such a large number? It seems the swarm has already consumed a considerable amount of biomass."

Jing Lin, who had saved several human warriors by wielding his sword and dismembering two hunting insects within the defensive line, looked somewhat grave.

The number of insects is somewhat exaggerated.

After all, more than eleven shelters have been breached, and a total of 300,000 humans have been devoured by the swarm. Adding to this the original creatures of the post-apocalyptic forest, the swarm's numbers have actually increased after days of bloody battle.

"If this isn't an act, then Benlei must possess some extremely important intelligence!" Jing Lin said. "That's why the swarm is willing to go to any lengths to breach the shelter and kill Benlei." "We'll have to deal with all of that after we've held off this wave of swarms!"

Li Yelai launched the heat molten material from the black umbrella, forcing a hunting insect back before quickly responding.

Now, Li Yelai and Jing Lin, along with a group of handlers, a squad of iron guards, and a platoon of city defense soldiers, are jointly defending a line of defense.

Against such a swarm of insects, a single psionicist charging in would inevitably be worn down and killed. At least, Li Yelai and Jing Lin, being psionicists of a certain level, could not ignore such a terrifying number.

Humans must rely as much as possible on firing positions to eliminate as many insect swarms as possible.

Li Yelai and his team's mission was to protect the position from being breached by the advanced Zerg that were difficult to eliminate with ordinary firepower.

Li Yelai hesitated; his curse was there. It really wasn't appropriate to use it near his teammates.

It seems we'll have to decide whether to proactively break into the swarm depending on the situation.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly lit up beside Li Yelai.

"Fuck!"

Li Yelai, who had been struck by lightning, instinctively dodged.

Thinking I was just unlucky? I haven't even arrived on Facebook yet! And this is just a bolt from the blue?
However, this time it wasn't what Li Yelai expected. The person who appeared next to Li Yelai was a troll. No, it was Captain Moonshadow!
At that moment, arcs of electricity crackled around him, like a bolt of crimson lightning, and he instantly appeared beside Li Yelai. With his appearance, a swarm of insects that had been approaching were instantly struck down by the lightning.

"It really is you, Night General!" Moon Shadow was clad in the scales of some extraordinary species, wielding a sword and shield, with crimson lightning flashing within them.

It is said that the Zero Path has extremely powerful ranged attack capabilities, and is jokingly called 'Mage' by psionicists of other paths.

But Moonshadow's weapon was a sword and shield.

This pair of swords and shields can also be combined to form a large shield axe.

Despite being called a mage, he wore heavy armor and wielded a shield-axe capable of cleaving through war insects. He was practically more ruthless than a true warrior.

He turned to look at Li Yelai and asked, "Are you healed?"

"No. But I should be able to fight!" Li Yelai clenched his fist, still feeling some discomfort and pain.

Even with his physical strength, his bone injuries wouldn't heal so quickly.

"That's good. It's a good thing you're here." Yueying smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the swarm of insects being torn apart by the fire line, and the war insects advancing behind them. He said, "In this situation, we need your abilities."

"My ability?"

Li Yelai was taken aback. Even with his mask, he, a level three psychic, was no match for the captain. He wasn't even as capable as a Night Watchman.

But Li Ye quickly realized what he meant and asked, "You mean you need my curse?"

Li Yelai's curse of misfortune, which inevitably leads to encountering powerful enemies, is indeed a good way to attract them.

However, on the battlefield, with so many advanced insect swarms, Li Yelai's curse would probably only have the effect of harming his teammates.

Moreover, Li Yelai's inevitable encounters with powerful enemies are limited in scope. Enemies within a few kilometers will be drawn to him, but those further away will be beyond his reach.

Otherwise, the authorities would have already arranged for 800 axemen to keep Li Yelai encountering powerful enemies.

If a powerful enemy comes, kill it one by one. Lure all the advanced Zerg over and wipe them all out. Sooner or later, you'll kill the Overmind.

But the range isn't that big, unless the Lord of Calamity is nearby.

However, based on the official understanding of the Fog Overlord, it must still be hiding in some distant corner, quietly producing swarms. It will not come to this battlefield.

“There must be even more advanced Zerg on this battlefield, and we need to find it. That will require your inevitable encounter with a powerful enemy.” Moonshadow replied, “Are you willing to proactively charge into the Zerg swarm and activate the inevitable encounter with a powerful enemy?”

“Of course.” Li Yelai nodded, immediately understanding Yueying’s thoughts. But he still asked, “But if I activate the curse now, it will probably only attract those war insects.”

For Li Yelai, the Warbug, the Hunterbug, and other advanced Zerg are already formidable enemies.

"It's alright. As long as the war bugs are all dead, that guy won't be able to escape either," Moonshadow laughed. "As for safety, the other captains and I will help you clear out those war bugs or other things."

"it is good!"

After thinking it over, Li Yelai nodded, choosing to trust his teammates and comrades.

"Then I'll clear the way for you!"

Yueying chuckled as she looked at Li Yelai, then plunged her longsword into the groove of the shield.

He transformed his sword and shield into a shield axe, then gripped the axe tightly with both hands, tilted his body, and swung it down fiercely.

In an instant, a large number of lightning bolts surged from the ground, instantly striking the swarm of insects and directly splitting a war insect a hundred meters away in two.

As the war bug fell, the large swarm behind it had no cover and was instantly torn apart by the firepower.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai shouldered a large black umbrella and, amidst the astonished and surprised gazes of the surrounding soldiers, charged out of the position alone.

Open your Facebook page and become Huo Qubing, the legendary general who sealed the wolf's lair!
The Shadow Army moves with the speed of thunder!
Nearly two hundred illusory heavy cavalry shadow soldiers appeared around Li Yelai. As Li Yelai launched his charge, they trampled over the corpses of the war insects and directly pierced into the nearest swarm of insects!

In an instant, countless swarms of insects were crushed by the phantom of the heavy cavalry! Their shadows were seized by Li Yelai and transformed into a new shadow army!

Although he no longer possessed the Thunder-Treading Dragon Steed, Li Yelai's impact was greatly reduced, and the power of 'Thunderous Movement' was also significantly weakened.

However, Li Yelai's own impact alone is enough to deal with low-level insect swarms.

Even the unlucky hunting insects were seriously injured when Li Yelai bumped into them in the chaos.

As the number of Shadow Army soldiers increased, Li Yelai's military formation enhancement also became stronger.

Seeing a giant war insect suddenly rise from the ground, Li Yelai advanced instead of retreating.

Switching to a different face, Li Yuanba, filled with hatred and boundless rage!
Use your abilities, divine general's form!
The next second, a golden-armored giant, no smaller than a war insect, appeared on the battlefield, attracting the attention of many psionicists and the insect swarm.

The giant was exceptionally brave and powerful. Holding a huge golden umbrella, he twisted it towards the war insect and launched a molten metal attack!

However, only Li Yelai's black umbrella fired a heat-melting bullet; the Dharma form merely made the movement but did not fire a heat-melting cannon.

'It seems that the Dharma Image cannot completely replicate a weapon; otherwise, I'd just use it as a stand for a hot-melt cannon.'

Li Yelai thought to himself that he didn't understand his own divine general form either.

After testing and finding that the heat-melting method was ineffective, he decisively drew the three-pointed double-edged halberd from the umbrella and unleashed a single-handed Eighteen Thrusting Strike - Rhinoceros Strike at the war insect!
At the same time, the war insect also swung its arm, clashing head-on with the divine general's halberd.

The next second, the war bug retreated several steps, crushing many of the Zerg behind it.

Li Yelai felt a tremendous force strike him, and together with the manifested Dharma image, he was forced back several meters.

But this made Li Yelai smile. Just a few days ago, he had been chased around by the war insects.

Now, however, they can rival the strength of the war insects!

The improvement is obvious! I'm becoming stronger and stronger!
As the second and third war insects approached, Faxiang smiled, wielding his halberd with both hands and sweeping away the swarm.

Whether it was due to the divine revelation dream or not, Li Yelai's bloodlust grew even stronger!
"Come, enemy of mankind, embrace the glory of battle!"

"I will cut off your heads to comfort the souls of my compatriots in heaven!"

Offering one's head to the throne? No, mourning my compatriots!
