I am a reincarnation player.

But he couldn't hide for long. He failed to silence himself and his identity was exposed. Even if he returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as if nothing had happened, he would still be isolated and investigated.

"There's no need to hide now. Cooperate fully with our allies and complete the mission. They don't even have the concept of 'death'."

Thinking of this, Yuki slightly raised his toes and instantly crossed the still burning fire. His long sword was like a spear and stopped in front of the mask of a "Reaper" mecha.

There was a small white flower on the shoulder of the mecha. Perhaps he was too fast and did not take any defense. Instead, several mechas behind him raised their guns, but when they saw the person coming, they quickly put them down.

"Mr. Yuki!?" The mask opened, revealing a petite face with an excited look on its face.

"Lieutenant Chris, why are you here?" Yuki put away his knife.

"We were reporting to the headquarters when we encountered this incident and immediately joined the battle," Chris explained quickly, as if relieved. "I didn't expect it was you who was fighting the traitor. No wonder it was resolved so quickly."

She was very aware of Yuki's abilities, and it didn't seem strange to her at all.

“But the real owner ran away.”

"Puppet worm?"

"Yes, a very troublesome puppet insect. It doesn't seem to have much combat power itself, but it can command its subordinates."

"Lieutenant, come and take a look." Before Yuki could finish his words, a soldier who went to investigate the scene shouted.

Everyone gathered around and saw him cut open the head of a corpse. The mecha extended a fine needle and pulled out a flea-sized insect from the brain. This made the heavily armored soldiers retreat in unison, and Chris quickly closed her mask.

"It's an infected puppet bug. Everyone, be careful."

Seeing their fearful expressions, Yuki also grew nervous. Fortunately, Chris quickly explained, "Don't worry, the research department said the reinforcements won't be infected, but we are different."

"Are there many types of puppet insects?"

"Yes, but the infection type is the most terrifying. It can destroy an entire city."

This was obviously top secret. The team members next to him wanted to remind them, but Chris waved her hand to stop them. All the reinforcements were untrustworthy, but Yuki was definitely not among them. This was an ironclad fact.

"There's more than one puppet worm in the command center. They've been lurking for a long time, waiting for this opportunity. This is obvious..."

"It's obviously related to my kind. Don't worry, I will kill anyone who wants to cause trouble." Yuki said firmly, leaning on the sword with both hands.

He was a little puzzled. Even if it was just the puppet worm, these infected people should be able to be detected. After all, although the worm was small, it had substance, and an MRI could do the job.

Yuki didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Lieutenant, please explain what the current situation is."

This obviously touches upon confidential information, but the current situation is very suitable. In order to resolve the incident, the power of a "monster" is necessary, and Yuki happens to be the most reliable "monster".

Chris hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pressed her arm armor. A projection appeared, forming a huge three-dimensional map above everyone's heads.

After two days, Yuki finally got a clear view of the entire aerial battleship. The information technology here was so powerful that the battle situation was being broadcast in real time on the map.

Several huge holes appeared under the triangular hull, and the swarm of insects invaded through the holes. Fortunately, the defense system was reactivated and kept the swarm of insect reinforcements out.

A battle was taking place inside the ship, and various psychic warrior teams had been sent out to stop them, but the swarm of insects were scattered and running around along the passage, and it was still a mess.

They have an insider supporting them, and the defense system on the ship is still not activated. It will take some time for the psychic warriors to chase and intercept them.

"Then the players' situation was also lost. Except for Hiyori, no one stayed in Area K."

This is normal. Every player is a master at taking advantage of troubled waters. As long as the reason is reasonable, they are not afraid of being held accountable later. Just like Yuki, just say whether you helped or not.

There are 24 divisions in total. He is currently in Division I, which is located in the middle of the front of the battleship. It belongs to the territory of the "Social Research Department", and the Zerg reaction is everywhere.

"Let's go catch that puppet worm. It's in the upper area. We can still catch it if we leave now." Yuki made a decision, turned around and took a few steps, but found that Chris's team did not follow.

"You can't enter the upper areas." The girl said hesitantly.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the K area room and wait for your good news." Yuki didn't insist, turned around and was about to jump back upstairs.

"Wait a minute, let me ask about the arrangements of the Operations Department." Chris quickly stopped him and switched to the internal communication channel.

Yuki was not in a hurry at all. He had just looked at the battle map. Most of the battleship's troops had gone to the lower areas such as Q, S, and T to encircle and intercept the insects. They were playing hide-and-seek with the insect swarm in the passages and pipelines.

He just couldn't believe that these people would leave a contagious puppet worm alone.

Chris stood straight, as if nodding all the time. After a while, she walked over quickly, her voice a little urgent.

"Mr. Yuki, please accept questioning from your superiors."

She handed him a communicator. Yuki moved his lips, thinking that these people were too nagging, but he held it to his ear.

"Sky Island Yuuki, who are you?"

"I am the commander-in-chief of the defense forces."

A deep, serious voice came from the communicator, which made people straighten their backs unconsciously. Yuki's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that it was the boss of the human side who was talking to him directly.

"Mr. Sky Island, can I trust you?"

The commander-in-chief asked.

Chapter 5: Sky Island Castle, Unspeakable Loyalty (K)

This battle started with a collusion between insiders and outsiders. A player used some method to locate the giant ship sailing in stealth, and the Zerg concentrated its anti-aircraft firepower sniper attack in advance.

At the same time, the puppet worms that had been buried for who knows how long showed their fangs and temporarily shut down the defense system when a hole was blown in the battleship.

Countless missiles and machine guns were offline, and the elite troops of the Zerg took advantage of this window of opportunity to break in and catch the defense forces off guard.

The fierce attack brought the Zerg's fearlessness of life and death to its limit, and also forced the defense forces to devote most of their strength to intercepting them.

But this is still useless. When humans react, it is only a matter of time before they wipe out the invaders. After all, they have an absolute home advantage.

So what is the Zerg trying to achieve by spending such a huge price and even exposing its long-hidden puppet worms?

Tinder.

Yuki didn't have to think too much to know what those bugs running around were looking for, and he could also guess that Chris's tactical map was not complete.

Humanity’s high-end combat power must also be guarding the fire. Whoever leaves will die.

"The fire is most likely on this warship, and anyone who tries to get close to it is courting death."

Yuki was very rational and not arrogant enough to interfere in the war between humans and insects. He also saw that this battleship was extremely strong and could accommodate the high-end combat forces of both sides.

You can't go, and you can't ask. Players don't have much time, but those who can actually survive are very patient.

Besides, at this point, it’s too late to use hint 7 to turn back, so we should just stick to it.

Yuuki's goal was clear. As a member of the core raiding team, he was responsible for completing Johnny Silverhand's mission, and then, as he had promised the commander-in-chief:

Give everything for humanity.

With the humming sound of the motor, the elevator was rising rapidly. Five tin cans surrounded Yuki, but he was the main figure.

Powerful, intelligent, professional, and most importantly, loyal. If other psionic warriors still have doubts, then the 'Crimson Squad' is extremely determined.

He has made outstanding military achievements, actively participated in the eradication of puppet insects, and never inquired about secrets. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has paid close attention to him for so long, but has not found any problems.

The only flaw was that he participated in the conspiracy of the reinforcements, but when the other reinforcements took the opportunity to escape, he was fighting a bloody battle with the traitor.

Unspeakable loyalty.

"Everyone, check your equipment. There are traces of hunter bugs inside the ship. If I'm not mistaken, they'll climb up the pipes and reunite with the puppet bugs."

Yuki looked at the jumping numbers and spoke quietly, and then the sound of various mechanical machines running came from behind him.

He also has an advantage, which is that he works alone and has been working with these psychic warriors for a long time, unlike other players' teams that are independent.

Yuuki looked at the holographic map projected by the golden bracelet, which had a red dot in it.

Except for the players, everyone in the command center will have a locator implanted in their body. That is the location of Commander Jacson found by the ship's scanner, but there is an eerie silence in the entire area, and the garrison did not follow the order to arrest him.

Area C is the warehouse of the research department and also the area of ​​the internal affairs department. It seems that the situation is not good. The infected puppet insects have plenty of time to spread. The troops that came to chase the players just now are definitely not all of them.

"The power supply in Area C has been cut off. The Pale Scythe and Thor's Hammer will rush in from the other side. Our mission goal is to kill the lieutenant colonel. In this way, all the infected people will lose their ability to move." Chris is responsible for contacting the various teams.

"What will happen to those infected after the war?" Yuki was a little curious.

"Lock them up and carry out pest control. Once you're sure there are no problems, return to your respective posts."

Fortunately, there is hope.

Yuuki nodded slightly, then frowned. "A puppet bug is spreading the infection right under your noses, how come you don't know anything about it?"

The infection was obviously prepared before the war started, and judging by the strange state of Area C, it lasted for a long time.

This question made the lieutenant feel a little embarrassed, and she also realized that this was a huge conspiracy that was secretly prepared before the reinforcements arrived.

"But, it's possible that Lieutenant Colonel Jacson has a special status and used his authority to avoid internal review."

Puppet worms cannot be detected, but infected bodies cannot escape internal review. According to Defense Force regulations, a scan is required every three days. Judging from the scale, it will probably take more than three days.

"He can circumvent a few people, but he definitely can't cover up for an entire region. Who will be responsible for the internal review?"

"Interior Minister Brigadier General Suweimendi, wait a minute, he can't be infected!" Chris was visibly panicking, as if trying to convince herself: "The Brigadier General is a true battlefield hero, who has made indelible contributions to humanity. And he, he has to report to the Marshal every few days, he definitely can't escape the Marshal's eyes..."

Her voice became increasingly quiet, and she felt guilty about being stared at by someone cold and indifferent, realizing that only this Brigadier General could protect so many infected people.

The commander-in-chief will have to see through the infection, but what if it is a more advanced puppet worm?

It turns out that the commander-in-chief can also see through identities. I have to be more careful in the future and try not to meet him.

Yuki grasped the information between the lines, his expression unchanged, and he gently patted his hard armor.

"Is the Brigadier General an acquaintance of yours?"

"After my parents died in the war, he was my guardian..."

I see. No wonder you were so hostile towards me before.

Yuuki felt that this routine was somewhat familiar, but he also understood the pain contained in it, and did not force the girl with reason.

"Don't overthink it. Confirm it after you see him. Take a deep breath. Could it be that you psychic warriors would hesitate between family affection and loyalty?"

That definitely won't happen. Loyalty to humanity is everything. They have been taught since childhood that even if their parents betray humanity or pull the trigger a second slower, it is a blasphemy against loyalty.

But Chris was still trembling. After all, humans have feelings and they don't even dare to think about the moment of making a choice.

'After all, they are not true Astartes. No, Astartes will also rebel because of injustice.'

Yuki sighed. The players were not much better off. They were all just pitiful creatures.

He had only met Brigadier General Suweimendi once and had no feelings for him. He was concerned about the special force called "Judges".

"Everyone, stay calm. There aren't many psychic warriors stationed in Area C, but it's a warehouse full of powerful weapons. Dead people are not qualified to pursue the truth." Yuki paused, then gave the order like a psychic warrior:

"After reaching Area C, we will adopt a breakthrough mode. Lieutenant, follow me. Number 1 and 2 will provide cover fire. Number 3 will hold the shield and clear the way. Number 4 will guard the rear."

"Yes."

"clear."

They were all professional fighters and could adjust their mood quickly. Yuki looked at the jumping numbers again and drew his sword.

"The battle begins."

Ding--

The elevator stopped at Area C. Before the door opened, a crimson laser had already shot in. A 'pot lid' on wheels blocked the corridor, firing cleanly and efficiently.

The steel melted and the interior of the elevator was directly burned. When the light beam faded and several infected people quickly replaced the fuel rods, an arm hung down from the twisted elevator, with a fist-sized gun pointing at them.

boom!

The blaster blew the laser cannon and the surrounding operators into the sky. The heavily armored warrior jumped down, holding up a large shield like a door panel, and a dark blue force field expanded on the surface of the shield.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Various electromagnetic rifles and beam Gatling guns flew densely from the corridor, causing ripples on the surface of the shield. The heavily armored warriors over three meters tall advanced steadily under the firepower, and their companions behind them raised their guns.

Micro missiles, beam rifles, and all kinds of heavy firepower were fired at each other. They brushed past each other in the narrow corridor, blasting holes in the walls, the ground, and the ceiling. The power supply in the area had been cut off, like a gorgeous firework.

But in the fully enclosed helmet, darkness is not a problem at all. Every soldier can clearly see the Marines and even the handyman sticking their heads out and shooting wildly at the corner at the end of the corridor.

There were many of them, but every time they poked their heads out they were blasted to pieces by bullets, and they were suppressed to the point where they could only rely on shooting.

As the distance got closer, dozens of black objects were thrown out, and a voice without any emotion was heard in the communication channel.

"Malta grenade."

"Number 3, go up."

Without any hesitation, the warrior holding the shield immediately increased his speed, and the force field spread outward, bouncing the grenade back like an air cannon.

boom! !

The result was definitely not good. The orange-red flames melted the alloy wall, and a charred arm even bounced in front of Yuki's feet, and he stepped over it casually.
