Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu stayed in their dormitory for ten days. During these ten days, the base upgraded its existing Zerg detection equipment and detected three people who, like Lieutenant General Li, had been parasitized. Moreover, all three of them were in management.

Ten days later, the base finally returned to its normal routine. Of course, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu still did not move out of the command center, but the two resumed some of their work, such as patrolling the base.

During the time Ji Han was living in seclusion, the base sent three more groups of people to remotely investigate the valley that Ji Han and his group had discovered. The animals in the valley did not change much during the first and second investigations, but during the third investigation, the animals in the valley actually came out and were heading towards the base.

Upon receiving news of the Zerg's arrival, the base immediately sounded the alarm, and everyone instantly went into battle alert.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, dressed in the latest protective suits, sat in the cockpit of their mechs and followed behind the group. Shi Shaoyu even changed the color of his mech so that he could blend in perfectly with the crowd, since they didn't want to become obvious targets on the battlefield.

Sure enough, not long after the battle bell rang at the base, clouds of dust rose from the forest ahead. Ji Han used his mental power to take a look and exclaimed, "Good heavens! Could this be the legendary beast tide?"

All the animals they had observed in the valley that day had lifeless eyes and were charging headlong toward the base. The base had already set up weapons, and the animals were hit by energy blasts before they even got close.

However, these energy blasts did nothing to stop the Zerg's advance. With each animal that fell, countless tiny Zerg would emerge from its body, creating a scene so dense it was chilling to behold.

"Attention all units, everyone must wear protective shields. The Zerg attack can parasitize the human body. They are not only small but also numerous. Please take precautions to protect yourselves."

Faced with these tiny insectoids, energy guns and energy cannons were of very limited effectiveness. Shi Shaoyu took out the flamethrower he had made when he killed the "mosquitoes," and the moment the insectoids got close,

"Hiss hiss hiss!..."

"Crackling, crackling, crackling!..."

The bursts of fire and the crackling sounds of the Zerg burning created a small vacuum zone on the battlefield. Seeing that this tactic worked, the other soldiers nearby switched their energy guns for flamethrowers and, without thinking twice, unleashed a barrage of fire at the surrounding area.

For a time, the entire Zerg race was put on the defensive. The number of Zerg casualties was huge, and their strength was also greatly damaged. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Zerg, under the command of the higher-level Zerg, immediately withdrew.

The saying "don't pursue a desperate enemy" doesn't quite apply to Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu followed behind one of the fleeing insectoid groups. The two of them weren't moving very fast, but the insectoids were currently in a panicked escape phase, so they didn't care whether the pursuers were catching up or not. Even if they weren't catching up, they still had to escape!

Ji Han and his group followed the insectoids all the way back to the valley. In just over ten days, the once lush green valley turned gray. Not to mention the grass, even the soil had been gnawed away!

Even the once sizable lake has dried up into cracks, and Ji Han can even see countless insectoids moving back and forth in the cracks from afar. The only thing that hasn't changed is the powerful spiritual energy in the valley.

At this moment, Ji Han took out a silver-gray rectangular plate from the spatial button and handed it to Shi Shaoyu. Shi Shaoyu immediately understood and installed the mental energy shield on the outside of the mecha. Ji Han's idea came from Lieutenant General Li.

In addition, Shi Shaoyu also adjusted the color of the mecha to match the ground. In this way, the huge mecha crawled through the Zerg's mental barrier, entered the valley, and perfectly blended into the ground.

Shi Shaoyu controlled the mecha, hugging the edge of the valley, and slowly approached the center. The closer they got to the center, the more frequently they were scanned by mental energy. Ji Han could even determine the number of high-level insectoids in the valley: there were four in total.

Ji Han gave Shi Shaoyu a wink, and Shi Shaoyu immediately understood and found a place to stand still. Ji Han carefully approached the surrounding spiritual energy, and used the same trick to first imitate the spiritual energy of the low-level insectoids around him to receive some information. Then, he slowly separated a thin thread and floated on top of a high-level spiritual energy, imitating the frequency of that insectoid's spiritual energy.

"These bugs really came for the two of us. The planet we are on now was reserved by the insectoid race specifically for the queen bug to lay eggs and replenish its nutrients. But something unexpected happened, forcing the queen bug to stay on the previous border. The queen bug laid eggs there and entered a period of weakness, which is why we were able to kill it so easily."

While listening in, Ji Han sent the information he heard to Shi Shaoyu. After reading the message Ji Han sent, Shi Shaoyu finally understood why there was such a vibrant planet in the territory of the Zerg.

"So what's our next step? Should we retreat or...?"

After Shi Shaoyu finished speaking, he made a throat-slitting gesture. Ji Han thought about the remaining officers and soldiers in the base; apart from the legion commander, there were no more S-rank soldiers. He was about to agree to the second option, however...

"Don't move, wait a minute!"

"They're relaying information about another mother insect!"

In general, the Zerg will only have one queen, and they will absolutely not allow another queen to exist until the queen dies.

The reason Ji Han and his group encountered another queen was twofold: firstly, the original queen of the insectoid race had entered its aging period; and secondly, this newborn queen, along with its followers, had been holed up on the border. If the old queen led a large number of insectoids and the newborn queen into a civil war on the border, the Federation Legion might easily reap the benefits and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Ayu, those Zerg say that the Queen Zerg is leading her army toward the border. You need to get this message back quickly. If the Zerg come out in full force, the few of us at our base won't be enough for them to devour!"

The mental energy shield can only block the mental energy detected by the Zerg. If they send a message to the base, the energy fluctuations in between will definitely be detected. Therefore, the two of them have no choice but to retreat first. After all, the overall situation is more important. The sooner the base knows the news, the sooner they can request reinforcements and make various pre-battle preparations.
