Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Ultimately, snake dishes quickly gained a foothold in both the culinary and nutritional worlds. In no time, Brother Shi's newly opened restaurant was packed with people. According to gossip from Brother Shi, the waiting list for snake dishes was already half a year in advance. Brother Shi's restaurant was all about scarcity driving up prices.

The popularity and success of Shijia Restaurant has dispelled some of the doubts online. The insect-themed cuisine is very popular, but due to the raw materials, its price has remained high.

Many people could see the business opportunity in this, and soon Ji Han discovered that there were many hunting teams on the border. Some of them were self-organized. After they hunted the Zerg and returned, they would find channels to sell the Zerg corpses. Anyway, at this time, Zerg corpses were in short supply, so they were not afraid that they would not be able to sell the goods when they returned.

More often, these are privately hired teams from high-end restaurants. All expenses for these teams are paid by the employer, and of course, the goods they catch also belong to the employer. Usually, the person in charge of such teams is someone from the restaurant itself.

Later on, even some research institutions and food associations sent people to the border, and the once desolate and quiet border area suddenly became lively.

Of course, due to the huge sales of insectoid delicacies, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's reputation on the internet also soared. The military even issued a public commendation letter to the two of them for this, and their military achievements were certainly not to be overlooked.

The two of them gained a total of 150 million energy points!

Moreover, this energy value is still rising. After all, due to the scarcity of ingredients, Zerg restaurants are only available on the Central Star. Ji Han and his companion believe that when these kinds of restaurants are open all over the interstellar space, they can probably complete the mission without even having to do anything!

After all, because of the Zerg's delicious food, the pace of their extermination will inevitably accelerate. Once the Zerg are wiped out or completely controlled, they will receive countless merit points, since these merit points will come from all humans on all planets of the Federation.

Of course, the repeated capture of lower-level Zerg by humans also provoked resistance from the Zerg.

That day, the border base received a distress message from a self-organized hunting team. When the patrol arrived at the scene, they found only a mess and bloody remains. However, after a thorough search of the area, they found nothing.

The disappearance of this patrol was a harbinger of events. From that day on, hunting teams were attacked or disappeared every so often. As a result, the Ninth Legion issued a border restriction report, prohibiting all hunting teams from entering the border.

In addition, the legion has entered a state of high alert. All soldiers who were out or on leave have been urgently recalled. The number of patrol personnel and shifts at the front has also increased significantly. More importantly, weapons and energy reserves have been replenished.

Even so, a patrol squad still went missing a week before the interstellar New Year.

This is the largest number of missing persons to date. The entire patrol team consisted of thirty people. Judging from the situation left at the scene, it seems that this patrol team was not killed on the spot like the previous teams that disappeared. There were also no signs of a large struggle at the scene. It seems that they were quickly ambushed, subdued, and taken away without even shedding a drop of blood.

Ji Han added the locations of the recent missing persons to the map. After careful observation and comparison, he suddenly discovered that these locations were slowly forming a semicircle, and the center of the semicircle was very likely the hiding place of the insectoids!

Ji Han shared his guess with Shi Shaoyu and the others. After a quick meeting, they decided to send people to check the situation. Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han were among those sent, since they were the first to discover the incident.

Shi Shaoyu drove his mecha at the front of the group, while Ji Han also activated his mental power to keep an eye on any unusual activity. In the thick fog, the ground was initially a gray and loose soil, but the further they went in, the darker the soil became, eventually turning into a deep black.

Shi Shaoyu piloted the mecha, carefully moving forward on the ground. It wasn't that he didn't want to fly, but flying consumed too much fuel. They didn't know what they would have to go through on this trip, so they wanted to save as much fuel as possible.

However, when they reached the center of their destination, they still found nothing unusual.

"Reporting to base, the third exploration team has reached its destination and has not detected any anomalies. Requesting further instructions!"

However, after the message was sent, the communicator went silent. Only then did everyone realize that their communication with the base had been cut off at some point, even though they had been communicating and reporting to each other not long ago!

Everyone was on high alert. While the team's communication was still working, Shi Shaoyu immediately had everyone count off, then form groups of three, back to back, to form a circle, constantly reporting their positions and remaining vigilant about their surroundings.

"Reporting to Commander, a team of three is located 180 degrees due east, and no abnormalities have been detected so far!"

"Reporting to Commander, Group Two, three people, are at 170 degrees southeast; no abnormalities have been detected so far!"

......

"Reporting to Commander, Group 17, three people, are at 170 degrees southwest, and no abnormalities have been detected so far!"

......

Silence! A long silence!

"Group 18? Is anyone in Group 18 here? Please reply if you receive this!"

The silence continued.

"Groups 17 and 16, immediately go to Group 18 to check the situation. The rest of you, pair up and stand by!"

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, along with the other two mechs, quickly approached Group 18. Ji Han had just sensed something was wrong; just seconds before Group 18 disappeared, he felt the surrounding fog had changed.

No, it's not that things have changed, but rather that the thick fog seems to be consciously moving towards Group 18.

"Ayu, there's something wrong with this fog. Warn everyone to be careful, something might be coming out of the thick fog around here!"

Just as Shi Shaoyu received Ji Han's reminder, before he could even send the message, he discovered that his mecha was surrounded by thick fog. And the instant the fog enveloped him, all the signal lights on his communicator went out.

As the thick fog narrowed, Ji Han finally "saw" what was inside. It was an insect about the size of a mosquito. This insect was completely transparent, and as it flapped its wings, it would create a special wave around its body. This wave could evade the mental energy that was being detected within a small area, which was why Ji Han hadn't noticed them before.
