At the same time, the three Reaper mechas raised their right hands and, without any preparation, directly sprayed out dazzling flames.

It was too sudden and direct. The torrent of flames thousands of degrees high magnified before his eyes, melting the metal wall. The guards instinctively stepped back and activated their extraordinary skills, but found that there was no way to retreat.

what?

This was his last thought. Yuki, who was a little behind, only had time to take out his alloy shield before he felt the air burning.

The guard was very resistant to fire, and such a torrent of flames did not turn him into ashes in an instant. Time became slow, and Yuki saw the light shield supported by the defensive props being broken, the muscles carbonized, revealing the pale bones, and then he turned around and forgot about himself.

Concept reinforcement. Strong steel.

Yuki couldn't utter a word. He half-crouched on the ground, hiding behind his shield, while activating the electromagnetic force field and releasing soul energy.

With all his defensive skills and items activated, Yuki felt like he was standing in a furnace, like a stubborn stone, allowing the flames to wash over him. This lasted for several seconds before the torrent finally stopped.

There were remnants of fire in the corridor, with light smoke rising everywhere. The walls had all melted, revealing an unknown pipe in the middle.

I almost got tricked by this group of people.

My heartbeat quickened and my breathing felt like burning. Fortunately, I had the Demon Eye, otherwise I would have turned to ashes like the watcher.

The defense forces had no reason to kill without asking any questions, but the Zerg had a reason!

"Is this the puppet worm?"

There is no difference to the naked eye, but in the eyes of the devil, their souls are stained with a layer of crimson purple, which is most obvious in the middle-aged people.

"What a clever parasite! I carefully observed this person yesterday and didn't find any problems at all. Is this what you call 'exposure'?"

"They are coming for the Guardians. As expected, information about the puppet worms cannot be revealed."

His mind raced as he realized that the army that blocked the passage had not launched an attack. The middle-aged man in red tilted his head slightly through the remaining fire.

It opened its mouth in confusion and said something that made Yuki's scalp tingle.

"How long will you remain hidden?"

Chapter 4 General (K)

It knows I'm a lurker!

In an instant, a chill rushed to the top of my head, and the whisper of a hint flashed through my mind.

[Tip 4: Keep the player's identity secret and difficult to find out]

Being difficult to detect does not mean being impossible to detect. This proves that in the eyes of some Zerg, one's identity can be seen through.

No wonder the Ether Particles group just needs to find the Puppet Bugs, which can directly determine their identities and start assigning tasks to them.

No wonder the Defense Forces' research data says that most insects have no intelligence. Those that can stay hidden, like puppet insects, are classified as advanced insect swarms.

If this were in a bug nest, Yuki would probably bow down and hope that his elder brother would take good care of him, but this is the human headquarters, and even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to break out of the siege.

How to do?

Yuki stood frozen in place holding the melted shield, his brain working at full speed as his eyes darted around, making sure that all the surveillance equipment in the corridor had failed.

Now is the best opportunity to return to the 'Organization'. You can even use Hint 7 to fight alongside them, turn the Human Core upside down, and restore your reputation.

The thought came up and then disappeared immediately. There was not much emotion involved, just because the time was not right yet.

But this is actually an opportunity.

Isn't the puppet worm the ultimate form of loyalty? Isn't it my only vulnerability?

To fight them, I can always leave Area K and fish in troubled waters. Besides, they didn't care about involving me just now. What if I am used as cannon fodder in the battle together?

Within a second, Yuuki made his decision and threw the melted shield aside.

"Knowing he was one of us, why didn't you give us a heads-up? We almost died together!"

The middle-aged man shook his head expressionlessly, "Sorry, I'm not sure I can kill it instantly this way. For the sake of higher efficiency, we don't mind making sacrifices."

I'm so efficient.

Yuki put away the last bit of his idea of ​​cooperation. These insects could not be judged by human common sense. Looking at the way they fought one after another, he knew that "fear" and "death" were not in their dictionary.

The Zerg can pay any price to achieve a goal, and then treat others as they would like to be treated, and all players are cannon fodder, stepping stones to achieve the goal.

The corridor was narrow and blocked by guns and mechas. Yuki didn't attack, but just raised his foot.

"What do you want me to do?"

The middle-aged man looked at him and replied impatiently, "Help."

"How to help?"

Yuki took the opportunity to take another step forward. As his foot landed, his pupils shrank sharply. He saw the three Reaper mechas raise their right arms again. The middle-aged man spoke coldly:

"Well, I don't need your help now."

The devil's secret technique. Thousand-pound weight.

When the flames surged again, Yuki concentrated all his strength on the soles of his feet, raised his toes, and pressed his heels down hard.

boom--

The alloy floor, which was already severely damaged, was torn apart, and Yuki was pulled down by gravity. The torrent of flames passed by his head, and he was a little dazed in the heat.

It changed its mind. Can it sense my true thoughts?

Mind reading? Intuition? Or something else entirely?

Yuki didn't know and didn't have time to explore. Anyway, he had made up his mind to silence the witness. Since playing dirty tricks didn't work, he decided to play it openly.

Clang——

With long swords drawn and muskets pointed overhead, several Marines who were chasing them had just stuck half of their bodies out when they were blown into pieces by shotgun shells. The space suit-like exoskeleton could not withstand any of the damage.

"The space is too small, their firepower is too strong, and the channel battle is not in my favor."

Yuki poured all his energy into the battle and landed in the lower passage, where he saw several civilian officers in white uniforms around him.

[Player Yuuki, your Zerg reputation has been reduced to disgust.]

"Run! Lieutenant Colonel Jaxon is a puppet worm!"

With a low roar, the frightened civilian officers fled in all directions. Yuki was afraid of being threatened, so he simply turned the tables.

It's true that I exchanged fire with you. Now even if you escape and say I'm a 'lurker', no one will believe you.

It turned out that Yuki was overthinking it. The saber pierced through the ceiling and cut through the alloy floor like tofu, and gray armor appeared in front of his eyes.

"Anyone who reveals the existence of the puppet bug will be hunted down."

The player's reminder flashed through Yuuki's mind, and he twisted his wrist.

Demon Breaker Realm.

Phew—boom!

The plasma ball, which was as big as a washbasin, was bounced away and exploded on the wall, splattering molten iron everywhere, and several civilian officers were turned into firemen.

Using annihilation-level heavy firepower inside the battleship is no longer an ordinary traitor. Fortunately, the command headquarters is strong enough, and the firepower that can flatten a small building can only blast a shallow pit.

This is not good news for Yuki, as it will be difficult for him to penetrate walls and transform into a human demolition machine.

thump.

A mecha over three meters tall jumped in, and the beam Gatling gun on its shoulder rotated.

Woo——da da da da......

Dense green light spots filled all the space, and any object in front of it was smashed into a sieve, forcing Yuki to retreat continuously and roll out of the corridor.

Within seven steps, the gun was fast and accurate. He was not a fool, so why would he go forward under the rain of bullets? Moreover—

"It's not intense enough. There's a possibility of acting."

Yuki looked at the various sensors. If the defense forces were not blind, they would have been paying attention to this side. He took a step back and threw a lava grenade into the corridor. At the same time, he saw several black things thrown out.

boom! boom!

There were explosions on both sides, and the steel was twisted. The shock wave blew Yuki away more than ten meters, and he quickly deployed an electromagnetic force field.

Hundreds of bullets were deflected, and the Marines cleared the way ahead like cannon fodder, not dodging when they saw Yuki raising his musket.

boom!

The shotgun shells tore the human body into pieces and splattered "ketchup" all over the walls. At this time, the huge mecha took the opportunity to rush out of the corridor.

Flames spurted, beam cannons suppressed, and with the sound of heavy footsteps, warriors holding sabers sprinted at the speed of 100 meters in 3 seconds, slashing fiercely at Yuki who was dodging left and right.

This is a warehouse, not very big, only about one or two thousand square meters, but Yuki finally has space to maneuver.

Swah——

A scorching beam over two meters long cut through the floor. The beam rifle extended forward, aiming at the backward Yuuki, but the next moment, his figure disappeared from all sensors.

In terms of speed, I am faster than all of you.

After Yuki used all his strength, his speed increased several times. These psychic warriors were only at the entry-level extraordinary level, and were a little behind the warrior bugs. They only posed a threat because of their high-tech equipment.

He disappeared in an instant, and when the other party was looking for him, Yuki was hanging upside down on the ceiling, compressing his body to the extreme.

"He's there."

Following the reminder from his teammates, all kinds of guns and cameras were raised together, but Yuuki stepped down with his legs, causing the entire ceiling to cave in.

Bang——shua——

The blooming sonic boom ring and the splashing debris appeared almost at the same time. The burning blade directly cut the alloy armor in half, and then he pressed down the left side of the body with his hand.

Concept reinforcement. Extreme speed.

Concept reinforcement. Iron block.

At the same time, the two concepts were strengthened. Yuki pressed down a large corpse and sprinted forward, while a dazzling fire snake exploded in front of him.

The electromagnetic rifle, beam Gatling gun, and flamethrower fired together, forming a steel storm. The walls were covered with sparks, and it seemed as if a silver snake was following behind Yuki.

He was so fast that even the sensors had a hard time capturing his movements. The few hits were all deflected by the 'iron block' in his hand.

In just a few breaths, Yuki approached the formation and pushed out the unrecognizable corpses.

thump.

The soldiers blocking the door dispersed one after another, and at this moment, a red light swept across the ground.

Cut the legs.

Yuki held a giant blade that was more than ten meters long, and the condensed soul energy cut off the soldiers' legs like cutting tofu, making them scream miserably.

The two psychic warriors reacted several times faster, jumping up quickly and letting the blades sweep across the soles of their feet while infusing their soul energy.

Psionic barrier.

boom!

The force field rose, gunshots roared, and thousands of bullets solidified in mid-air. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the giant blade slashed back from above, and this time, it was burning with flames.

Secret technique. Red Lotus Blade.

This has nothing to do with Wu Lei'an. It's just the extreme destructive power gained by burning energy.

A bunch of fire men appeared in the warehouse, and the soul fire burned through the armor, turning the warriors inside into nothingness.

Yuki fell down, gently shook the sword, and a few sparks flew away.

"Do you really think three elite soldiers can kill me?"

It wasn't arrogance, but rather Yuuki was puzzled.

There are no reward points. Logically, the lurker should get them for killing human soldiers. If it is a siege by friendly forces, then why do I get them for blocking the wormhole?

Without soul energy, this psychic warrior is no longer an ordinary human. His soul fire is comparable to that of a warrior bug, so how come he didn't get any of it?

And that Jacobson actually ran away?

After a brief hesitation, Yuki remembered that the soul fire of these soldiers was very strange, a bit like it was dyed with the color of the Zerg.

Infection, is this an infection?

Yuki's mouth twitched slightly. No wonder the puppet worm is a high-level insect.

It usually hides among humans, and once it is exposed, it will cause chaos. If I didn't have demonic vision, I would have died with that zombie.
