I am a reincarnation player.

This amount of casualties can be ignored, but the hive that was rushing out suddenly slowed down and showed signs of backflow.

They disguised their retreat as an attack and used the swarm's fixed program to disrupt the pursuit. Unable to bear the consequences of having their home stolen, they realized that the remote control signal originated from within the city and hurried back to search.

The second and third explosions followed one after another, and fireballs rose up, driving the swarm of insects almost crazy. They filled every entrance to the city with squeaking and searched every inch of space in the city. Even the swarm of bat dragons that turned back began to hover over the city.

But the electromagnetic signal was clearly inside the city, but they just couldn't find the attackers, as if they were being attacked by ghosts.

This was even more terrifying, like poking a hornet's nest. The angry swarm of bees surged in all directions like a tide. After a few minutes, a vague and terrifying gaze began to scan the city.

Taking advantage of the chaos for a few minutes, Levi had already run nearly ten kilometers, killing all the insect swarms he encountered, and the ones that escaped were also dealt with by Hayasaka Ai and others behind him.

Hurry up, hurry up.

The captain was already blood-thirsty and felt that he had never fought so hard since joining the reincarnation game. He had to retreat to a safe distance before the swarm of insects could react.

That bastard, I told him to retreat a long time ago...

Levi moved his mouth, but couldn't curse out loud. In this plan, Yuki was the most at risk.

The second step is to disperse and break out so that the swarm cannot gather together.

After all, Yuki couldn't run as fast as him, so he would definitely be detected by the soul force field. The swarm of pursuers would most likely target him first, and the blocking troops in front would also move south in advance.

My own pressure was relieved, but how could that bastard get away?

Levi couldn't think of any solution and could only comfort himself that someone as sinister as Sky Island Yuuki must have some hidden trump card.

He completely forgot about the existence of his senior sister. Looking at the three people following closely behind him, he felt a hidden gaze coming from the front.

Dozens of bugs jumped out from the town on the right. These hidden garrisons began to "meddle in other people's business" and were squeaking and gathering their own kind.

Does the Queen control it herself?

Levi took a deep breath. This reaction speed was too fast. Fortunately, this retreat route had been arranged long ago and there were few strongholds passed through. Fortunately, those players and mobile forces were attracted to the north.

The seemingly scattered conditions were linked together one by one, which was enough to save lives at this moment, making Levi once again sigh at the cunning of Sky Island Yuki. He had been thinking about how to escape since the moment he left the city.

"Contact those natives, advance with all your might, and fight through all obstacles to reunite with them!"

......

They should have retreated to a safe area. With the captain here, the hastily organized swarm of insects should be unstoppable.

Yuki walked in the dim sewer and could hear the sound of insects running past. These insects suddenly came alive and killing even one would trigger a reaction, and then they would chase and kill like maggots on the tarsal bone.

Does the Queen personally micromanage?

He could sense a faint pressure, and when he concentrated, he could also sense the falling dead skin. Therefore, assassination was impossible. Once the defense mechanism was triggered, even the most powerful assassin would be untraceable.

Having said that, Yuki never relied on imagination when making plans. There were many prerequisites for retreat:

Using the Queen's importance to ensure that these "wasps" dare not leave the hive; the strongholds along the way lack advanced Zerg; the mobile forces with advanced Zerg go north, and -

Most of the players are not here.

With these prerequisites, we can rely on chaos to buy time. A monster-level player fights for his life to open a way, and cooperates with people like Hayasaka Ai who are armed to the teeth. It is difficult to stop those miscellaneous soldiers.

In addition, because the first group is farthest from the wall, the defense forces who are eager to obtain intelligence will try their best to provide support.

There are the largest swarms of insects in the west, but don't forget that the defense forces are also the most powerful in this direction.

There is at least an 80% chance of successfully returning to the wall.

Yuki wasn't too worried. There were violent bugs above him, under his feet, and on his left and right. No one was in more danger than him.

The sound of arthropods was getting closer and closer. Tens of thousands of insects with blood-red eyes were about to cut the attacker into pieces. At this time, the presence of Sakurajima Mai appeared in his mind.

Tsk, I forgot about my dear senior again.

Mai is another bait. The swarm of insects can track the electromagnetic signal of the remote control, but cannot find the person holding the remote control. The senior student feels like she is walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on her.

By the time the queen took action in person, she had already disappeared without a trace.

The fungal blanket cannot sense the player. If the queen is intelligent enough, she will definitely know that this "assassin" is the biggest threat and will definitely send elite troops to search around.

"Once the two-hour cooldown period is up, Senior Sister will disappear from my perception again. It's a pity that the Light-Covering Prayer Instrument doesn't have a cooldown feature, otherwise my operation could be even more impressive."

Yuki felt very sorry and turned a deaf ear to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer. He climbed the stairs and pushed open the manhole cover. The dense footsteps came from both sides of the alley.

In this city filled with raging insects, no one can escape unless—

He put on the mask of the fool, and the ever-changing costumes distorted his body, and he instantly turned into a blood demon with two horns on his head and elegant golden hair.

boom!

The wall was directly penetrated by the terrifying warrior bug. In the overflowing dust, the warrior bug was stunned on the spot and instinctively lowered its two swords.

Unless, I'm a friendly force.

Chapter 4: Queen of the Swarm! (K)

The change in appearance had no effect on the Zerg, but his perception told him that this was a friendly army with a 'trustworthy' reputation.

This is very strange. We are clearly following the Queen's instructions, so why would we encounter friendly forces?

The warrior bug has no intelligence and is completely unable to understand the problem in front of it. If it were a human bug, it would have made some judgment, but unfortunately, it was not it.

This is the power of rules.

Yuki was not unfamiliar with this feeling. 'Reputation' was a rule set by the reincarnation game and was enough to solve many problems, just like when Saito rebelled, the defense forces would not attack him until he was discovered to be with the puppet worms.

If humans with subjective consciousness are like this, let alone these killing machines.

Yuki bowed slightly and walked past the gleaming insect blade. The samurai insect behind him was stunned for a moment, then started to execute the search command again.

Turning into the main street, the swarm of insects surged across the road like a tide, filling up the sewers and even overflowing.

They couldn't find it, they couldn't find it at all. There was even a bug running by, who stopped to look at Yuki who was "helping", and continued to command his subordinates to complete the task.

It knew Liuguna.

Yuki's pace did not change at all, but he felt relieved in his heart. These high-level insects were intelligent, and reputation alone was not enough, but with the Fool's Mask, they would not doubt.

As for the real Liuguna, no one knows whether he is dead or alive, but he will definitely not appear here.

The city is in chaos now, with countless bugs searching carefully from the inside out. Even if the players turn into ants, they must be found. The queen personally takes action to micro-manipulate and intercept, and will never let Levi and others return to the wall.

Just fishing in troubled waters.

Yuki's psychological quality was too good. He really transformed into the blood demon Liuguna and went against the tide of insects. While their attention was focused on the outskirts of the city, he found a place to jump directly into the wall.

The feet landed on the soft fungal carpet, and the granulations grew a lot. They slowly brushed across the body, and the slippery feeling was nauseating, but this detection had no effect on the player. A few warrior bugs running past took a look and continued their mission.

This is a 'friendly force', the Queen has not given the order to attack, so why bother with it.

That's right, I'm here to help find the spy.

Yuki grinned slightly, hurried into the alley, climbed up the tall building like a gecko, and then stretched his head out to look around.

The bat dragon passed by close to the top of the head, focusing its frantic gaze on it, and then left after confirming its reputation. At least in its eyes, this was a friendly army that was very good at searching.

Low and medium level bugs are not a threat, but high level bugs will find me suspicious.

Yuki knew that he couldn't hide for too long, so he hurried to check the terrain. He saw that there were densely packed high-rise buildings all around him, and their surfaces were covered with thick fleshy granulations, each of which was more than ten meters long, like a swaying forest.

They are interconnected, becoming denser and denser as you go inside, until it becomes a pitch-black hole, like a ball of wool.

These buildings are not simple.

Yuuki stayed on the upper floor and looked inside, and could see that there were still souls inside after the swarm of insects left.

Live?

Dozens of tall buildings formed a defensive array, and together the city was a huge fortress.

He made note of this and jumped onto the roof of the next tall building. With a squeaking sound, the swarm of insects outside the wall began to flow back.

Time was running out. The swarm couldn't find the attackers, and couldn't catch up with Levi and the others who had escaped. They were ready to return to normal. When they came back, there would be no chance to search slowly.

Where is the core?

His red eyes scanned around, and everything he saw was similar. The demon vision was useless as it was completely blocked by the tall buildings and flesh granulations. Soon, his eyes locked onto several main roads.

Dozens of scarlet-covered insects were moving along the road. As they walked, the membranes on their bodies fell off, revealing their black shells. The membranes looked very much like the amniotic fluid left over when a baby is born.

Following the path upwards, Yuuki's eyelids twitched, and he stuck the "Loyal Guardian" badge on the fungal blanket, then flew away in a shadow.

Shuttled between the swinging flesh buds, the distance of each step remained constant. Yuki felt as if he had plunged into a dense forest where there was no sunlight at all. It was difficult to even tell the direction. In the end, there was no light at all. In this situation, no one dared to illuminate.

150 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, turn southeast 100 degrees, 200 meters, meters...

He counted silently in his mind. Those moving soul flames were the best beacons. Yuki ran past them and could feel the constant gazes cast at him. Then these pearl-like soul flames became denser and denser, and the soft touch under his feet became hard.

Click.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, Yuki suddenly stopped, bent down, picked up something and stroked it in his hand, his expression becoming more and more surprised.

Human skull?

This was the first time he saw a skull in the city, and as he felt the skull in his hands, he built a model in his mind.

There was a two-centimeter round hole between the eyebrows in the skull of an adult male. The cut was smooth, and it must have been pierced directly by something. His eyes jumped, and he picked up another one to feel around, but the result was the same.

The killing cannot be so accurate. It should be penetrated directly without any resistance. Is this brain sucking?

The question is, it is known that the Zerg does not eat humans, and its energy core is emerald stone, so why would it suck brains?

There was no mention of this in the Defense Force's research materials, and Yuki was not an entomologist. Just as he was about to move forward, a male voice that sounded like an electronic synthesized sound rang out.

"You shouldn't be here, Synergist."

The blood in his body froze in an instant, and every hair stood on end. Yuki subconsciously exerted force and crushed the skull.

I've been discovered. Is "Cooperator" the Zerg's term for players? And players who choose Lurker status are indeed barred from entering this wall.

Yuuki's monstrous physical fitness made his heartbeat quickly calm down. He knew that being exposed at this time would mean death. At least from the address, the visitor did not discover his identity.

His brain was working at a rapid speed, and Yuki's expression became one of fear and forced elegance.

"I am full of curiosity about the great life."

"If you are truly curious, then demonstrate your value and embrace the supreme blessing." The male voice sounded again, accompanied by a blooming ball of light, finally illuminating the surroundings.

Yuki's pupils shrank as the light shone, his eyes changed from confusion to surprise, and finally to fanaticism and excitement, mixed with a hint of regret.

This is a park or a square. In any case, everywhere he looked was covered with skulls, so densely packed that it reminded him of the Skull Mountain in "Blood Disaster". The difference was that there was no "preservation" technology here, and most of the skulls were full of age.

Each skull has a round hole between the eyebrows, and the size and position are all the same. It is definitely not the result of a battle.

Densely packed insects stood on the skull, surrounding a 'man' with a strong build, dark skin, and snake-like dreadlocks. Yuki was afraid that he would start rapping the next moment.

The worm, Aldridge.

Except for the puppet insects, the defense force's data has given names to the advanced insect swarms, but of course they themselves have no names.

This is a real high-level Zerg. After the command sent one away, there are still two left.

Aldridge was also looking at Yuuki, and perhaps because the latter's eyes were very familiar to him, he lowered his raised hand.

Luckily, he knew Liuguna.

Yuki marveled at his own cleverness. If his eyes had been wrong just now, he would have been doomed. Only he could do such a thing.

Just because you've fought once doesn't mean you're familiar with him, and you can't pretend to be one no matter what. Only if you're familiar with the Blood Demon's personality can you act like one convincingly.

The excitement comes from the desire to kill, but the regret is that demons like to eat people and don't like to gnaw bones.

"Didn't you go to the north to reinforce? Why are you back so soon?"

Staring at by thousands of insects, Yuuki concealed his nervousness with grace, bowing gently and saying, "You know we have many strange abilities. I happened to encounter the chaos in the insect nest and realized that one of our kind had intruded. For the Queen's safety, I wanted to do my part. Of course, I'm also a little curious."

The Zerg didn't know that the main mission of the Lurker didn't include protecting the Queen, and Yuki's reason was pretty reasonable. The players are always the best at dealing with them.

"So did you find it?"

"No, but I guess they have some skills to reduce their presence, so they can sneak in silently."

The insect was stunned for a moment. Every insect's highest mission is to protect the queen, so of course it would be interested.

“What is a diminished sense of presence?”

"It's very simple. It's different from being invisible in the physical sense. It's about separating yourself from this world..." Yuki decisively 'betrayed' the senior. The theory of youth syndrome sounds very mysterious. He is better at changing the subject and weakening his presence.

The insect believed it, it was true, and it had no choice but to believe it, and then its breath became anxious.

A race with a honeycomb structure cannot tolerate any threat to its own brain, but all their evolution has been unable to deal with this so-called "sense of existence".
