I am a reincarnation player.

"Yes."

At this point, Yuuki was too lazy to hide the relationship and turned to look at the remaining people: "Captain and I will enter the city. Miss Hayasaka will be ready to meet us on the outskirts of the city. If you find any risk of exposure, retreat immediately and make your own protection the first priority."

It's a fairly mediocre battle plan, but there's a key problem:

Levi looked back and forth with a strange look. This plan was unfair. Those who hid on the periphery were obviously much safer.

This requires absolute trust. If the two were not in the same camp, he would have thought that he was the only outsider.

"Aren't you afraid they'll sell you out?"

"They are afraid, but they won't be, just like you." Yuki couldn't explain the interpersonal relationship, so he said frankly: "If there is really a problem, I will attract attention when we retreat. There is no need for you to sell me out."

"How can you attract me? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I can't tell you that, but I have a way. If you're willing, you can help me contain them."

Every player has secrets. Levi didn't ask, but snorted softly, "I'm not interested in dying. No matter what you do, I have the best chance of escaping."

Yuki Nobuyuki thought that a top scout could not do without some stealth skills, but he did not have high expectations for this arrogant dwarf.

The senior students had already formulated a retreat plan, and the tacit understanding between the two sides in the desperate situation was as precise as clockwork.

Having gone through countless trials and tribulations together, they are already accustomed to taking risks.

"Then let's follow the plan and try to avoid contact with each other. I'll go first, followed by the Captain, and finally Hayasaka. Here's the route map." Yuki handed the summarized route map to the two of them, which was accurate to meters and seconds.

Where to pause and how long to pause, which is the legendary backboard, is not difficult to do for players above the extraordinary level.

Compared to the Zerg, Yuki is more worried about the variable of players. Logically, the enemy players will either not be able to return or be attracted away by the second group, but there is no way to know whether there are still any left in the city.

Looking at the road outside the forest, Yuki's heart beat faster and he actually felt a sense of heroic mission.

End the Zerg, end this war, let those soldiers who have fought so hard to survive return to their normal lives, let Captain Chris take off her uniform and put on a beautiful dress...

I was too immersed in the play.

Yuuki shook his head violently, took a fool's mask from Hayasaka Ai, patted his face lightly, and regained his rationality.

"Not for humanity, but for myself."

"Walk."

......

The Zerg would never have thought that at some point a group of people would use a 'backboard' to cross the cordon.

Just as the information said, the swarm was too rigid, and each individual operated according to a set program. This system was broken by one player and became useless for the rest of the people.

According to the research of the defense forces, most insects have no intelligence, and the queen has too many things to control, and can basically only arrange the direction of the task. No matter how powerful the micro-manipulation master is, it is impossible to control millions of nerve endings.

The machine gunner cannot move five centimeters to the left, and there is no need to do so.

The flickering light was left behind, and he saw the densely packed high-rise buildings in front of him and felt his own insignificance.

This is definitely a hive.

This is an enlarged version of Lancui City. All the tall buildings are covered with a layer of fungal mat, making it even larger and more disgusting.

Dense granulation tissue swayed in the breeze, and there were various tumors on the surface of the building. They beat like hearts, and occasionally burst with a "puff" sound, splashing out sticky, foul-smelling liquid.

The roads between the buildings were not as crowded as one might imagine. Occasionally, insects with mucous membranes hanging on their bodies would walk by. As they walked, the mucous membranes on their bodies would fall off, and finally they would form neat rows and move towards the east.

But if you think there are not many insect swarms here, you are wrong. Yucheng is close to a high-rise building. Even if the demon's vision is disturbed, he can still see the dense soul reactions inside.

Gulu.

Yuki swallowed and wanted to vomit, but he couldn't, because his sense of smell had lost its function anyway.

woo-

The bat dragon flew past the roof, and Yuki quickly lowered his head. He found that the swarm of insects had no interest in "eating". Apart from covering everything with fungal mats, the outlines of street lights, cars, and even garbage cans did not change.

Moreover, they are very lazy. Those that are marching only know how to march, and those hiding in the building do not move at all as if they are hibernating. They have no interest in anything other than instructions.

Too lazy.

Yuki had verified the research data of the defense forces on the way here, and realized how serious the "rigidity" was. The patrol teams in this city actually all moved along fixed routes, giving people a familiar feeling.

Yes, it is the "hosting" of Happy Landlord, which runs according to a fixed procedure. Considering the huge number of insect swarms and the only "queen", this trusteeship is reasonable.

No matter how powerful one's brain is, it is impossible to micro-control so many subordinates. If one really wants to micro-control, the attention will be on the attack, not on this absolutely safe nest.

"I've reached the second ring road in the north of the city." Levi's cold voice came, faster than Yuki.

"how is the situation?"

"It's impossible to go any further. You can go and see for yourself what the specific reason is."

Yuki didn't have time to play guessing game with him. He dodged the patrols, twisted and turned through the alleys, and soon saw a 'red wall'.

Let me retract my previous statement: these insects are also cowardly.

This is a wall built with a viaduct around the city. The hanging fungal mats have blocked the gaps tightly. It is about twenty meters high. Yuki can jump over this height, but the top of the wall is full of swarms of insects.

There are warrior insects, bat dragons, and some insects like octopus spiders, whose skin is like jellyfish. These are spider insects that specialize in using insect webs that are comparable to alloy to cover people.

At a glance, there are more than a hundred intermediate insects. That would be fine, but the key is that some of them have human bodies with green shells and colorful tentacles on their heads, just like upright grasshoppers.

"Advanced insect swarm, human insect."

The data clearly records why the Zerg can perform complex tactical actions. In addition to the Queen's personal micro-control, these advanced Zerg are like command nodes that can directly mobilize the surrounding Zerg.

There are not many puppet worms, human worms and general worms, especially the latter two. Only by killing one can the battle be considered a victory.

These insects were hidden in the lavender mist, appearing hazy. Because of this layer of mist, whether from the demon's perspective or looking down from the sky, only the shadows of the buildings could be seen.

"The human-bug is intelligent, and it is almost impossible to pass under its nose. The defense forces even gave them names. From the illustrations, the one in front of me is called Ashmid." Levi said quietly. As an expert in exploration outside the wall, he felt that his exploration had reached its limit.

"Let's retreat. We've located the hive and calculated its strength. It's enough for the defense forces to formulate a battle plan."

Not enough, far from enough.

Yuuki simply shook his head at Levi's opinion. He glanced at the electronic map and saw that the area within the second ring road was almost the size of Tokyo's urban area. The error was too large.

There are at least 100,000 bugs lying in ambush throughout the entire Cuixing City. The number of assassins in the defense force must be small, so they don’t have the time to slowly search for the queen’s location. If they are not careful, they will all die here.

Not to mention landing right next to the Queen, at least the closer the better. Besides—

"The insect nest is here, but the queen may not be here. We don't have any information about the insect. What if it's a trap?"

"Then give up the second main line. Do you still want to see the queen with your own eyes?" Levi snorted unhappily. This is a question that the defense forces should think about. The players have already tried their best.

I really want to see it with my own eyes.

Yuki's idea is crazy, but it is not illogical and fanciful, because he has been a "lurker" from the beginning to the end, a member of the Zerg.

"It has been confirmed that the Zerg don't rely on appearance, but reputation as the basis for judging friend and foe. This can be seen from the Zerg's frantic attack after encountering me."

His Zerg reputation is already at 'hatred'. Theoretically, there is no possibility of getting it back except by killing the commander-in-chief, but don't forget there is a tip seven.

[Tip 7: Players can raise their reputation with the selected faction to 'Trust' for a short period of time, limited to 1 time, lasting 5 hours]

"Although I'm not a loyal person, my faction is indeed a swarm. By using the tips, I can avoid being attacked for 5 hours."

What to do, should I take a risk?

Yuki was rarely entangled. Even from the perspective of a "guardian", it was feasible to hold the fire in his hands, resist step by step, and delay time.

But that would be too passive. Unless he had no choice, he rarely passively took a beating.

Advance or retreat?

Yuki gritted his teeth. If he retreated this time, he would be stuck in this path, with no other options. Ultimately, the defense forces' cover-up prevented him from assessing the severity of the situation.

If things are still calm, there is no need to take risks; but if things are extremely dangerous, it will be too late to regret.

"Pighead, how about I go in and take a look?" Mai noticed the dilemma and took the initiative to chat privately.

"No, your trait isn't invincible. The Zerg's detection is pervasive. They only trust reputation."

"Reputation? You want to use hint 7 to sneak in?" The senior student understood instantly. She almost forgot that this pig-headed man was a lurker.

"Yes, I must at least make sure the Queen is here."

"But that man-worm possesses intelligence. Even with the Fool's Mask, you might not be able to get away with it. You can't take risks in a place like this."

"So I need you to lure it away. Ordinary bugs only care about reputation."

While answering, Yuki had already made up his mind. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Now that he had reached the insect swarm's home, he should at least go in and take a look.

This was very risky and her life would be in danger, but Mai was already used to taking risks with Yuuki. She bit her lip lightly and didn't try to correct this pig-headed guy's idea.

"Okay, but what about him?"

Levi doesn't have unconditional trust. Knowing that Yuuki can sneak into the core area, he will definitely doubt his identity, but this drama is being performed by two camps together.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Time passed minute by minute, Yuki and Levi circled around the red wall, neither of them gave up, trying to find a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, everything was in vain. The red wall was impenetrable. There were bat dragons patrolling in the sky, and there were human insects on the wall giving orders. The most important thing was that no one knew what was behind the wall. One could only see half of the building sticking out.

Levi wanted to try the same trick again, but Mai said she would never go in and take the risk, which made him gradually anxious.

"Let's go, it's a complete waste of time. This isn't a good place for a picnic."

Although the defenses in the city were loose, the nerves were always tense, which was simply a torture.

"Okay, as far as the gains are concerned, it's enough for the defense army to be grateful. The choice of whether to gamble or not is in their hands." Yuki didn't insist this time. The reincarnation game is full of helplessness, and how can everything go smoothly?

Phew, this bastard has some brains.

Levi breathed a sigh of relief. When exploring outside the wall, one must know when to stop. Those who try to find out the truth in one go will not end up well.

"Then let's retreat. Let's leave quickly while Weixiao draws attention to the north." Levi turned around and disappeared from the roof like a shadow.

He was very fast and knew the route of the Zerg patrol by heart. He returned to the edge of the city in less than ten minutes. At this moment, a gunshot made his heart stop.

boom--

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed inside and outside the silent city. In just a moment, the densely packed flesh granulations stopped shaking, and the soldier insects patrolling the streets stopped in an orderly manner.

A dead silence before a storm was brewing, and then suddenly erupted with Levi's contracted pupils.

"Retreat quickly, some bugs are coming out of the ground and have discovered us!" Hayasaka Ai seemed to be screaming.

"Let's carry out the third plan. Captain, you lead the way and retreat towards the wall at full speed. Miss Mai, you follow me to attract attention and create time for retreat." Yuki seemed very calm, but his words were full of fear.

We've been hiding for so long, and we were discovered just because of a coincidence?

Levi was instinctively suspicious, but soon he no longer had the mind to doubt anyone. In front of the insect nest, who dared to perform at the risk of his life? These insects would not listen to reason.

Granulation tissue was growing wildly, linking with each other to form dense networks. A swarm of insects rushed out of the building, pouring into the streets, spreading along the alleys and streets. No matter how powerful the assassin was, he could not escape this swarm of insects tactic.

Looking outside the city again, the light shields that were originally rising and falling one after another unfolded together, forming a blue light wall connecting to the sky. Even a nuclear bomb falling from the sky would be intercepted by the force field.

The swarm is very rigid, but precisely because of this rigidity, they can switch to alert mode in an instant after the alarm is triggered.

The hive fully expanded and instantly turned into a heavily guarded and impenetrable fortress.

boom! ! !

Following an even more violent gunshot, a hole was blasted in the azure wall of light.

"Go!"

Levi woke up as if from a dream, and ran in that direction with his feet spread out, his wings of freedom spread out, and cut the swooping bat dragon in half.

Plan three: After being discovered, get away from the insect nest as quickly as possible and proceed step by step.

He returned to the forest in just twenty seconds. Kaguya Shinomiya was hiding in the treetops, using "Arrows of Scattered Light" for cover, and some insect corpses were scattered on the ground.

Levi had no way to check the insect corpse. As far as he could remember, no player had dared to joke with his own life.

Everyone looked as if their scalps were tingling. The battle indicated the direction. Countless swarms of insects were pouring in from the formation, and hundreds of huge bat dragons were like a moving dark cloud.

"Run, I'll be the sharp knife."

Levi held two swords in his hands. Seeing Hayasaka Ai following him, holding Hiyori in her arms, he ran away.

It’s only a hundred kilometers. As long as they are not surrounded and blocked, they can get back to the wall in half an hour.

So the first step is to create the illusion of an attack so that the swarm has no time to pursue.

boom!

The explosion exploded in the city. The nitrogen high-energy explosive was incomparable to the TNT on Earth. A high-rise building was instantly shattered and hundreds of insects were missing limbs.
