Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had no choice but to hand over their work to the newly appointed management team, and then reluctantly piloted their spaceship back to the legion's base.

The Legion's current base is not the same as before. As mentioned before, the Ninth Legion's base was built on several huge warships. In the last battle, after they destroyed a Zerg Queen and countless Zerg, the border began to automatically move outward by several planets.

Upon their return, Ji Han and his team's first step was to relocate their base. All the equipment on land was folded and packed away, and the massive flanks were folded and retracted as needed. After everything was checked and confirmed to be in order, the warship slowly left the ground and headed towards its new destination.

A preliminary advance force had already arrived at the destination. They first conducted a simple reconnaissance of the planet, roughly determined the location of the Zerg, and then cleared the landing site for the new base. After the warship landed, its flanks unfolded again, and the land-based equipment at the gate was quickly installed at the new base.

The entire base relocation, from the first step to the last, took less than a day. That very night, Ji Han and his team were already carrying out patrol missions at the new base.

A new border, a new base—this also means they will be facing a new Zerg force. In fact, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had investigated long ago, trying to find out how many Zerg there were in the entire interstellar space. However, they searched everywhere they could and found no answer.

They only knew that the other side of the border was inhabited by Zerg, but no one knew how big the space was or how many Zerg there were. After all, it was an area that humans had never ventured into. It wasn't that the Federation hadn't sent anyone to investigate over the years, but rather that everyone who went to investigate eventually lost contact with the Federation and their fates were unknown.

The entire base had been under maintenance for more than half a year. Now, Ji Han and his team have all returned to the unit, and the landing of the new base has been completed. Ji Han and his team have once again entered a state of combat readiness. This time, it is not the Zerg that wants to attack the Federation army, but the Federation army that wants to attack the Zerg.

Shi Shaoyu, who has been promoted to lieutenant general, has been appointed as the commander of the advance force, tasked with the important mission of reconnoitering the surrounding environment and enemy situation.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu returned to their familiar mecha cockpit. This time, the border planet was very different from the previous one. The previous planet was desolate at first glance, with brown sand, strong winds carrying various impurities, and a sky that could never be wiped clean.

And this planet is so lush now? If Ji Han hadn't known beforehand that there were many insectoids on this planet, it would be hard to imagine that such a verdant and vibrant planet could be inhabited by creatures full of plunder and destruction.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu carefully traversed the forest filled with towering trees. The surrounding vegetation was lush, and one would expect animals to be plentiful in such a forest. However, the forest was eerily quiet; not a single bird could be heard chirping or insects chirping, as if no animals existed there at all.

This is very abnormal!

Ji Han used his mental energy to explore the ground inch by inch, while Shi Shaoyu similarly used his mental energy to explore the surrounding trees and sky. Suddenly, Ji Han shouted in the group,

"Stop!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time. Ji Han pointed to the coordinates in the public channel, and everyone looked in that direction. They found a highly decomposed animal carcass there. Judging from the skeleton, it should be an animal like a lion or a tiger.

Shi Shaoyu checked that the surrounding area was safe, and then a technician carrying a box stepped out from the back of the group. He took out various instruments from the box and finally spoke on the public channel.

"Report: Preliminary examination indicates this is the carcass of a lion. The cause of death was not insectoid feeding, but rather being killed by a similarly large animal. However, for some unknown reason, the animal did not consume the lion's flesh after killing it. Judging from the condition of the carcass, it appears to have decomposed naturally to its current state."

Can the time of death be determined?

"The time of death was approximately one month ago."

A month? Does that mean this forest was normal a month ago? Or what happened a month ago that made the large animal that was biting the corpse abandon its prey and flee for its life? Could it be the Zerg? If so, why would the Zerg abandon such a large pile of fresh flesh and blood?

Shi Shaoyu had the technicians collect samples from the lion carcasses, and then continued forward, but this time the pace was slower and the investigation was more careful and thorough.

However, for the next three days, Ji Han and his group still found nothing. They could only confirm based on the current state of the surrounding vegetation that the animals must have disappeared not long ago, otherwise the food chain would have been severely disrupted and the surrounding vegetation would not still be so lush.

By the fourth day, Ji Han and his group had ventured deep into the forest and finally made a new discovery!

It was a valley lush with water and grass, crammed full of all kinds of animals. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu wondered if all the animals in the entire forest had been gathered here.

What's even stranger is that with so many animals gathered together, there were no shouts or roars except for the sounds of them eating and rubbing against each other.

Ji Han even personally observed with his mental power that a goat quietly walked to the middle of the wolf pack and lay down as if committing suicide. Then the wolf pack surrounded it and began to tear it apart bit by bit. The goat did not make a sound from the moment it was alive until it was bitten to death, and it did not even show the slightest expression of pain!

Ji Han felt a chill run down his spine after reading it. He gasped and told Shi Shaoyu what he had observed. Shi Shaoyu originally wanted to use his mental power to observe as well, but he didn't expect that his mental power would be detected as soon as it approached the valley. Instantly, countless animals in the entire valley all looked in their direction.

"Retreat! Quickly! Retreat at full speed!"

Without a second thought, Shi Shaoyu immediately led his team to retreat. He didn't bring many people with him, and their mission was only to scout the situation. Although they didn't know how many big guys were inside, even without those big guys taking action, the animals they controlled could crush them into mincemeat if they all rushed over together.

Shi Shaoyu and his group retreated very quickly. Ji Han continued to use his mental energy to probe the situation behind them. Fortunately, no animals or insectoids chased after them. The several extremely threatening mental energies that had been tracking them withdrew after they ran out of the central area of ​​the forest.
