On weekend afternoons, there was more than an hour left before the scheduled time to return to the academy.

Luo Ming looked at Liu Ying who was hugging his arm, raised his hand to help her tidy up her soft silver hair, and smiled, "Are you having fun?"

"It's okay~"

Firefly showed a sweet smile.

"Then you should go back to the academy by yourself first."

Luo Ming said in the same tone as usual: "I plan to go to the library again. It's a bit far, so you don't have to accompany me."

Liuying's smile gradually faded, and she looked seriously into Luo Ming's eyes for a while.

The arm holding the arm inadvertently exerted a little force: "No, I will go wherever you go."

Feel the warmth and softness from your arms.

Luo Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "I really can't do anything about you."

Liuying rested her forehead on Luo Ming's shoulder, with the corners of her lips raised in joy and pride.

"Remember when we explored the edge of the city together?"

"remember."

"I plan to go take another look, avoid those soldiers with live ammunition, and look for things that are hidden. The process... may be a little dangerous."

"I'm not afraid!"

Luo Ming took a deep breath and said nothing more. He took Liuying's soft hand and walked towards the edge of the city.

......

In a narrow alley.

Two figures moved forward silently.

This place is far away from the city center, but the surrounding buildings have become taller, like a thick wall that encloses the prosperous metropolis.

Just as he was passing a corner.

The two of them suddenly stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.

The rigorous reconnaissance training has already enabled every student to possess a strong reconnaissance awareness.

Luo Ming protected Liuying behind his back with one hand and slowly drew out his short sword with the other hand.

His eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the slightest movement in the corner.

It was a slight sound similar to that produced by a thin wing flapping through the air, and the sound of a hard, sharp object accidentally colliding, not like those of soldiers armed with live ammunition.

Luo Ming's eyes became more serious than ever before.

He sensed something was wrong, as if something that did not belong to the empire had infiltrated the core capital of the empire.

Sudden.

A dangerous aura is approaching rapidly!

The muscle reflex brought about by long-term and rigorous training allowed Luo Ming to raise his sword and chop forward without hesitation.

A shadow rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye and collided violently with the dagger.

Click——!

The dagger shattered in an instant, and a huge force was transmitted along the hilt, almost shattering the hand bones.

Between the lightning and the fire.

Luo Ming clenched his left fist, and his natural strength exploded, colliding with the shadow with a loud bang.

A sharp hissing sound like that of an insect was heard.

The shadow rolled and slammed heavily against the wall.

Amid the flying dust, Luo Ming finally saw its true appearance.

This is a bug larger than a calf, with a hard silver-gray shell and sharp, ferocious mouthparts. Translucent red elytra extend from under the shell, and there is a red crystal sac on its abdomen that emits a strange light. Its red compound eyes flash with madness and ferocity.

"Is this a young stinging insect?!"

Liuying came to Luo Ming with a dagger in hand, took a quick look, and was relieved when she found that he was not injured. But soon her eyes turned serious to the huge insect in the rubble.

The imperial civilization rapidly regressed, and the proud iron fleets fell one after another. The culprit that caused countless deaths and sacrifices was the Zerg!!

They actually sneaked into the core area of ​​the empire silently?

"careful!"

A rapid explosion sounded.

Luo Ming waved his fists to block the young stinging insects that were flying towards him with their elytra vibrating.

Liuying held the silver dagger and looked for a gap on the side. The sword tip rained down on the silver-gray carapace of the young stinging insect, but it was like falling on a hard metal surface, leaving only a faint mark.

at last.

Liuying seized the opportunity and cut off the translucent red elytra of the young stinging insect with one sword.

When the young stinging insect was swaying, Luo Ming grabbed its sharp mouthparts with one hand, clenched his other hand into a fist, twisted his waist, and gathered his natural divine power at one point, smashing it into the red strange crystal sac in its abdomen.

Click——!

The sound of breaking was heard, and the young stinging insect let out a hissing sound. Its eyes quickly dimmed, and its body soon became powerless and stiff.

call--!

Luo Ming let out a long breath.

I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead and felt a strong sense of fatigue spreading from every part of my body.

Is this the all-consuming breeding plague?

It was so difficult for him to deal with a single larva, how did the Empire stop the surging Zerg tide that was enough to flood the galaxy?

"Brother, is your hand okay?"

Liuying ran over, her face full of worry, and subconsciously said the name she hadn't called for two years.

Luo Ming looked at his right hand.

It was covered with a layer of sticky, strange red liquid, which gave off a burning and stinging sensation. This was the mucus that flowed out from the shattered crystal sacs of young stinging insects.

"fine."

Luo Ming didn't let Liuying touch his hand.

After tearing off a piece of clothing and wiping it off, he said in a serious voice, "We must return to the academy as soon as possible and tell the instructors about the young stinging beetles. The beetles will not act alone, which means that there may be more bark beetles hidden in the imperial capital. We must clean them up as quickly as possible."

"it is good!"

[Before leaving, you looked back at the broken body of the young stinging insect. For some reason, your right hand became increasingly hot, and the heat quickly spread throughout your body. You felt dizzy and felt like something was about to come out of your body.]

......

Pinocchio, building dreams at the border.

On the observation deck you can overlook the entire city.

The silver-haired girl hugged her knees with her arms, curled up her body, and stared blankly at the falling stars in the sky in the distance.

If my brother hadn’t been contaminated by the insect’s crystal liquid that day.

Wouldn’t the Queen notice it in advance?

The two of them could graduate as planned and then join the battlefield. Even if they died together, she didn't want to survive alone.

......

[When they were about to return to the academy, an overwhelming swarm of insects flew out from every dark corner of the city, rushing towards several academies in the imperial capital like a surging river.]

[You all stop at the same time. On the wide street ahead, a mature true stinging insect, carrying a dozen juvenile and subspecies of substinging insects, eroding stinging insects, etc., falls from the sky and easily tears apart several students who are running towards the academy.]

[More than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes looked at you almost at the same time, and the sound of elytra vibrating could be heard from all directions.]

[When the swarm of insects pounced on you, you saw knights in silver-white armor rising into the sky from the direction of the academy, killing the surging tide of insects.]

[Unlike the Iron Cavalry Regiment in the front-line video reports, these knights were obviously incomplete, and the light of their armor was dimmer, as if they were burning out the last few lives.]

[The swarm of insects is about to pounce on you. You glance at the firefly beside you. She is standing shoulder to shoulder with you. Even though she is about to be torn to pieces by the swarm of insects, there is not much fear on her face, as if being able to die with you is a very reassuring thing.]

[At this moment, you clench your fists, and your body begins to burn violently. ]
