Fighting bugs, teams, and being alone.

As if to confirm 061's words, the water in the night rippled for no apparent reason, spreading out in a circle from the center of the lake, like a tremor from the earth's core.

Zhan Yanchao's face changed slightly as he turned his eyes away from Ji Zuoshan and looked towards the lake.

It was hard to feel anything approaching in the water, and the two men were still splashing, pushing the man toward the center of the lake.

The human being didn't dare to resist, and while wiping away the water that had already entered his eyes, he begged in a low voice, "Young master, young master, the water is too deep, I'm not a good swimmer."

Country Face lifted the water and splashed it into his mouth.

Zhan Yanchao stared at the animal with complicated eyes.

The human animal fell back, but the soft soil under his feet suddenly collapsed, the human animal was lost in the lake water, he was a bit panicked, open arms and fluttering two about to sink, but thanks to his good luck, found a nearby landing spot, only to float his head out of the water, choking the water in the throat issued a hoarse pleading voice: "Can I come up."

In addition to the noisy sound over there, the surroundings are still quiet, just now the chirping insects do not know when has actually stopped all.

Wang Xiaoqing was not asleep, and sensing that the atmosphere was not right, he rolled over and sat up, pushing on the face of Wang Xizhou, who had just fallen asleep, with a slap: "...... Wake up."

Wang Xizhou, though drowsy, woke up very quickly, and before sitting up, his right hand had already brushed the mecha summoning button on his left wrist, "Sis?"

Chi Xiaochi stood up and called out to them, "Come up here, there's something in the lake."

Hairspray Guy asked Country Face, "What's he yelling about?"

The country face heard, but quite do not care, raised his voice to the people already more than 20 meters from the shore of the sacrifice gloating: "Hey! There is something in the lake, do you hear me? Quickly run ah you."

Human sacrifice eyes, ears, mouth and nose into the water, choking the seven orifices are hot and spicy, ears and the sound of water, where can hear what the country face is saying, only a cough, rubbing eyes.

Hairspray Man laughed twice at his stupid look.

Less than two seconds later, however, a bowed ridge of steel slid out of the water and swept silently past two meters behind the human sacrifice.

Hairspray Guy's eyes widened, "...... What's that?"

Country Face was still grinning, "You pumped too?"

The hair gel man raised his arm, pointing behind the human sacrifice, yet there was already a calm, only a faint ripple of water slipping by, indistinguishable from the passage of a creature or the aftermath of his struggle.

But Country Face couldn't laugh anymore.

In the water on the right elbow of the human sacrifice, a round object with a yellowish shimmering light floated out, like a water ghost carrying a lantern with a human head, traveling here at night.

If you look closely, you can see that the ghostly floating up to the surface is an eye the size of a lantern.

The human sacrifice was oblivious to the fact that a bit of filth had gotten into his eyes and stung his eyelids.

And the black kernel in that eye turned sluggishly, seeming to have bad eyesight, and looking a bit naive, even human.

Wang Xiaoqing breathed a small sigh of relief, thinking that this might not be some kind of carnivorous animal.

But Wang Xizhou, beside her, is already trembling slightly.

Wang Xiaoqing gripped his hand and lowered his voice, fearing that a slightly higher voice would startle the giant creature of unknown origin, "What?"

Wang Xizhou raised his hand shakily and pressed something to Wang Xiaoqing's temple.

This is a miniature disposable biological nanomagnifier, as long as it is in contact with the human body, it will be able to receive brain waves, adjust the focus of both eyes at will, and the viewing range is limited to one kilometer.

Wang Xiaoqing's scalp exploded with just one look.

Along with that eye surfaced a tiny foot limb with tens of thousands of tiny compound eyes growing on it!

And these dense compound eyes, all of them staring intently at the human sacrifice, glowed with a cold and hungry glare.

"Holy shit!!!"

Country Face and Hairspray Man came back to their senses, screamed in agony, and ran on their hands and knees toward the water's edge.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqing was furious and said angrily, "You guys are the closest, you guys give him a hand--"

Hairspray Man ignored it and shakily tried to activate the mech switch on his wrist, but accidentally poked the light switch.

The eyes of the mech parked on the shore shot out two soft white rays of light, reflecting the surface of the lake brightly.

Wang Xiaoqing wanted to vomit blood.

And the black pupils of that camouflaged retardation were stimulated by the light and suddenly shrunk to the size of a pinpoint.

The first to move was Zhan Yanchao.

He had activated his mech long ago, and was too late to enter it at this point, but turned on the co-sense function ahead of time.

His left hand flipped and rolled at first, and a light whip about a hundred meters long was flung out horrifyingly, the tip of the whip steadily hooking onto the human animal's neck.

At this moment, where there is no concern for safety, Zhan Yanchao roughly dragged the strangled and nearly rolled over the eyes of the human animal to the shore to pull.

How could the monster lurking under the water sit back and watch the prey close at hand escape, a foot limb about six meters long drenched in water drilled out from the bottom of the lake, the tip of which was like the brightest of daggers, as fast as thunder, stabbing towards the waist of the human sacrifice!

As Zhan Yanchao made his move, Wang Xiaoqing shouted, "Judgment!"

Wang Xiaoqing's mecha "Judgement" picked up Wang Xiaoqing, held her arms, and threw her onto its back like a cape, and the activation bracelet on its wrist instantly opened the hatch, and she leapt into the hatch.

The movement was so skillful that without hesitation, all of her body's senses were already in tune with the mech.

She had long since turned on all emergency modes, her right arm and left arm interacted with each other with a knock, emitting the sharp clang of steel clashing, the grenade machine gun in her right arm and the MP5 in her left arm all ejected, positively racked, and auto-loading completed.

Wang Xiaoqing didn't press the gun, his left arm aimed at the lantern-sized eye, and his right arm opened fire as soon as the sneaky foot limb bubbled to the surface, a double magazine of bullets pouring out unreservedly.

A couple of ricochet rounds hit the shore, narrowly missing the hair gel guy's foot.

He jumped to his feet and said, "You watch it! You watch it!"

Wang Xiaoqing gritted his teeth in anger and was at a loss as to how to scold him when a string of pulsating light arcs from the forest at the diagonal corner of the forest also plunged straight into the water, stirring up a series of surging water waves.

She heard Luo Qian's scolding voice from over there, "Get lost! If you don't, I'll kill you!"

The roasted blue hue shimmered deceptively under the sputtering tongues of fire, breaking the silence of the night.

Feedback was received in real time from the monitoring camp fifty miles away.

"There's a battle going on in C13. ...... should be the first group, no, two groups, to trigger a battle this summer training."

The staff officer in charge of the night watch was unimpressed, "Two groups should be fine. These unseasoned brats are likely to open fire if they run into a sand centipede."

The monitor stared intently at the screen and the thermal imager, his throat rolled a few times in an arduous manner, "Staff Sergeant Li, take a look. The ...... they ran into seems to be a mountain type bug?"

The staff officer in charge almost rolled out of his chair, "What? Did you read it wrong?"

The monitors moved out of the way while the staff officer in charge practically lunged in front of the computer, staring intently at the thermal imager, his face turning blue.

The monitor nervously inquired, "Staff Sergeant Li ...... do we have any of the mountain-type bugs, a creature with a danger level of 3A, placed in our 'scars'?"

Wang Xiaoqing's shot bought time for Zhan Yanchao, and Wang Xizhou also seized the time, drilled into the agile mech designed in the shape of a praying mantis, and in a few instantaneous steps came to the edge of the lake, and perfectly connected with Zhan Yanchao, and embraced the unconscious human sacrifice into his arms, and then jumped three times or two times to the forest, and picked a high tree, and climbed up the tree three times or three times. He picked a tall tree, climbed it in three tries, pulled a tree vine, and placed the person on the tree.

After a round of intense shooting, Wang Xiaoqing's double rifle barrels had burned to a point of softness, her arms stood up and clamped, shaking out two hot magazines, which snapped and rolled down on the grass stained with the morning dew.

Certain that those two straw men had already fled into the mech in a sorry state, Wang Xiaoqing turned his head and found Chi Xiaochi still standing in the same place, not even entering the mech, and couldn't help but be furious: "How did you-"

Chi Xiaochi: "Shh."

Wang Xiaoqing: "You're not--"

Chi Xiaochi interrupted her again, "Why isn't it moving?"

Wang Xiaoqing, who was loading a miniature light cannon with ammunition, was also stunned at his words.

From the beginning of the burst of shooting just now, the insect tribe hadn't moved the slightest bit, and had only retracted the foot limbs that were trying to pierce the body of its prey back below the surface of the water, unhurriedly and quite methodically.

And while its eyes had been blinded by Luo Qian's pulse gun, it was still sinking peacefully under the water, especially calm and peaceful, as if the heavy bodily injuries were not something particularly important.

Chi Xiaochi asked Ji Zuoshan: "What is the situation now?"

Ji Zuoshan frowned and said, "This is a mountain type worm, extremely large, with a sturdy shell, usually used as a meat tank in battle. But it has a very violent temperament, and now this ...... is not in line with biological instincts."

Chi Xiaochi and Ji Zuoshan were both silent for a moment.

061 seemed to realize, "Since it's not biological instinct, it's ordered to be carried out."

Oases, lakes, and mountain-type bugs lurking at the bottom ......

A certain possibility occurred to all three at the same time.

With no time to verify, Chi Xiaochi asked Ji Zuoshan, "Can you hit mountain bugs with Blue?"

Ji Zuoshan shook his head decisively, "Blue is too fragile for it. Its shell may not be able to be blasted open with the military's artillery."

Chi Xiaochi said, "Blue no, can you fight."

Ji Zuoshan thought this time, "...... can."

Chi Xiaochi maneuvered Ji Zuoshan's body and leapt into Blue's body while saying, "When it's over, dismantle his shell for Luo Qian to study."

As he spoke, the mountain-shaped bug was already slowly sinking, seemingly intending to lay down.

Already weak in the hands and feet, Country Face and Hairspray Man each let out a huge sigh of relief.

They dared to come to Scar because of the pressure from the elders in their families. They had intended to rely on human sacrifice and the companionship of other teams to get through these days, but they didn't expect the gods to be kind to them, bumping into Ji Zuoshan, who had set out at a similar time to them, and Zhan Yanchao, a fighter, who had volunteered to come to their door.

At this point in time, they no longer felt it was good luck, and only cried out in their hearts for bad luck.

At that moment, the two men who thought they had dodged a bullet heard Ji Zuoshan, who hadn't been involved in the fight since a while ago, say, "Luo Qian, tell it to lift its Wang Ba head out of the water."

Luo Qian leveled the already elevated muzzle again, "...... mean, can't let it get away?"

The country face blustered, "Don't look for trouble! It's ignoring you all!"

This was a rather disgusting statement, not to mention the hot-tempered Zhan Yanchao, even Wang Xizhou, who had returned, was a bit annoyed: "What do you mean by 'you guys'? Didn't you provoke this thing?"

Hairspray Guy is also eager to get out of here, "Go away go away, you're giving yourself a hard time. Pfft, what bad luck."

Chi Xiaochi let out a laugh and came up with a headless, "...... Hiding well in a mech."

Country Face: "...... What?"

Chi Xiaochi, without further ado, raised his gun, set it to float mode, and blasted the mech-clad country face into the water with a single shot to the chest.

Hairspray Guy's Jaw Drop: "......"

Chi Xiaochi: "Luo Qian, got you a decoy."

At the end, he added, "...... Watch out for the vortex."

Although Luo Qian did not know what he meant by his last sentence, she also knew that this time could not be delayed, she did not say any more, licked her lips slightly inside the mech, flicked her tongue at Wang Xiaoqing who raised his gun again to the side, and let out a simple, sharp bared sound, "Little Jasmine, watch for the opportunity to help me."

Wang Xiaoqing ："...... "谁是小茉莉啊。

Although she didn't know what Ji Zuoshan and the others were trying to do, she pulled out the third AWM in her robotic arm and set it up with a resounding clang, while slightly disgruntled, she said to Chi Xiaochi, "Why don't you go down there yourself?"

Chi Xiaochi looks straight ahead and says with a straight face, "Blue is not waterproof."

Wang Xiaoqing: "......"

Waterproofing is a must-have skill for all specialized machines, but the Blue is really just a regular modified trainer.

Wang Xiaoqing stared at the water and wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw a scene that amazed her.

Even Chi Xiaochi didn't expect Zhan Yanchao to go into the water with Luo Qian.

Without a word, he swung out his right arm's light whip, and an arc of light erupted longitudinally, emitting the sound of electric current scorching that screamed at the roots of one's teeth.

That delusion to re-integrate into the water under the mountain-shaped insect is really silent as a mountain, suffered this serious injury also did not say a word, just from the bottom of the water to probe out a section of black oily foot limbs, viciously toward his face to grab!

The black spiral steel shell of the mech almost merged with the pre-dawn darkness, Zhan Yanchao was as light as a swallow, stepping over the limb twice with one foot, then he lowered himself, extending one hand, sliding down the sharp knife-like limb, steel rubbing against steel with a series of sparks, until it disappeared under the water.

...... He's off to find the head of a mountain-type bug.

Wang Xizhou was dumbfounded, "...... Is he crazy?"

Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything, nor did Ji Zuoshan inside him.

This kind of desperate play is really Zhan Yanchao's style.

Luo Qian was only stunned for a moment when she realized that Zhan Yanchao had made a move with her, and while the mountain-type bugs were tussling with Zhan Yanchao, she turned on her stealth and heat shielding modes, and quickly relied on the heat meter to locate the position of the Chinese character's face.

...... He was looking like a large can of meat being desperately torn apart by a pair of footed limbs.

Thanks to the fact that these two knew they were not capable of doing so, they had put a lot of effort into their specialized machines, using steel that was full Naman metal, making it difficult for even mountain-type bugs to tear them apart.

And upon realizing the lack of limb strength, the mountain-type bug passed that mech through dense layers of foot limbs, ready to be released into its mouth.

The mountain-type bug was not an offensive bug race, and its teeth were arguably the sharpest part of its body.

The Mountain Bug is what a large tick looks like, and Luo Qian patiently follows the screams of the country face all the way to its mouthparts.

The mountain shaped bug grabbed the mech of the country face and couldn't wait to bring it to his mouth, like he was starving.

...... opportunities!

Luo Qian dives silently under the mouth of the Mountain Bug, pulls out his pulse gun, which has been recharged, takes a quick glance at it, and pulls the trigger on its open jaws.

The impact of the pulse gun was so great that the mountain-type bug took the blow suddenly and fell upwards with its head held high.

Luo Qian suddenly felt something was wrong.

As soon as the mountain-shaped bug left the spot where it had been lying on its back, there was a swirling, surging suction pulling her downward!

...... Is this the "Beware of the Vortex"?

Making a snap decision, she popped two steel cables from her waist and pinned herself backwards into the river mud along the riverbank, not stopping until she was firmly hooked into the rocky outcropping, and avoiding the iron claws of the mountain-type bugs that were swinging wildly from the pain.

Seeing that the mountain bug that had been flung upwards by the pulse gun was about to fall down again, Luo Qian was in a hurry to find a good angle, when he saw a light golden colored figure appearing in the jaws of the monster.

Zhan Yanchao turned the thrusters in his back and feet to maximum mode, the racing thrust thrilling his entire body as his right arm transformed into a blade of light, stabbing along the scorched area of Fang Cai Luo Qian's blast, spinning with power, doing his best to fight off the unknown vortex, pushing the mountainous bug upward, minute by minute.

Even in the water, Luo Qian can hear his heartbreaking roar.

-Get up there! Get up there for me!

The mountain-type worm also sensed that something was wrong and frantically danced its foot limbs, creating a wave blade underwater, but it was still inevitably propelled to move upward minute by minute!

Wang Xiaoqing had already chosen an angle according to the direction of the parting of the water current, and just as the mountain bug's tentacles came out of the water, she fired her gun, forcing the bug to raise its head even higher with a continuous stream of shots.

Chi Xiaochi said to Ji Zuoshan, "It's all yours."

Blue properly protected Chi Xiaochi in his arms and said warmly, "I will protect my master."

Knowing this was a rare opportunity, Ji Zuoshan held his breath and arched his back, the thrusters behind him pressed to full energy, the engines emitting a low roar similar to that of a beast.

He stared at the bug head that gradually surfaced, and before his eyes was the monster that had invaded the city and met him on a narrow path and eventually died with him.

...... In this life, there is only you die and I live, there is no other option.

As the struggling head gradually appeared, Ji Zuoshan clenched his teeth and sprinted a few steps, as fast as the wind, as swift as a forest deer, and even before Wang Xiaoqing could see it clearly, he took advantage of the momentum of the propellers to rise up from the riverbank, and landed lightly on the smooth back of the mountain-type worm that was exposed to the surface of the water.

Blue wedged his feet firmly on the back of the bug grease and led Ji Zuoshan all the way to the head of the mountain bug.

Wang Xizhou was anxious, "Sister, does he have any weapons that can poke through the head of a mountain-type worm?"

Wang Xiaoqing didn't answer his question simply because he couldn't find the answer himself.

She anxiously shrugged off who knows how many rounds of empty magazines and muttered to herself, "What the hell?"

Ji Zuoshan put one foot on the back of its ringed, writhing neck and leaned down, his hands against the blasted tentacles of the mountain-shaped worm.

Meanwhile, 061 covered Chi Xiaochi's ears and familiarly built a protective energy shield for his spirit.

And Ji Zuoshan whispered, "Die."

With both palms firing, he gripped its most sensitive tentacles and poured his spiritual energy into it without reservation.

A few feet away from the Wang family siblings instantly paralyzed on the ground, still hanging on the neck of the mountain-shaped insect swing Zhan Yanchao even let go of his hands directly into the water, lying on the shore of the Chinese character face simply held his head, let out a fear into the bones of the miserable screams!

If this is true for humans, how can a mountain-type worm with its tentacles in its grip withstand it?

Its brain kernel is superbly preserved within a hard shell, like the kernel in a hard-shelled walnut.

But now, the walnut made a soft "boing" sound and burst open.

The mountain-shaped bug's huge body jerked violently for a few moments and fell into the water, exploding into a large splash like a cannonball explosion.

And Ji Zuoshan pulls back and jumps away backwards, landing smoothly with his legs slightly bent.

Wang Xizhou was in a state of shock, but he realized that something was wrong.

He pointed to the waterline and said, "Sister, look."

Wang Xiaoqing held back his horror, shifted his monster-like gaze from Ji Zuoshan, and looked down to see that the water level of the oasis lake had dropped by nearly a meter!

At that moment, Luo Qian leaps out of the water and lands lightly on the ground.

The cable in her right hand is holding Guozifang, who is already foaming at the mouth, and the cable in her left hand is holding Zhan Yanchao.

Seeing Ji Zuoshan's face, Luo Qian was the first to complain, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you used your spiritual power? I almost threw up in the mech!"

But her complaints were just that, complaints; she'd gotten herself out of the way and had a good time, so she didn't care.

She pointed to the lake, where the water level was still dropping like crazy, and said, "You really should come down and take a look. There's a hole at the bottom of the ...... lake."

Chi Xiaochi got out of the mech and asked, "How old?"

Luo Qian puts it succinctly, "The size of an adult mountain-type worm."

The facts are clear enough.

At some point, the Bugs dug a hole and invaded the "Scar" summer training grounds. And they chose the exit of the burrow in a small lake in the oasis.

Those who come to "scar" are future members of the army reserve who lack combat experience.

It was conceivable that if once all the lurking insects swooped in at once, the human army would lose a number of extremely good soldiers within a year.

And this mountain-type worm is the gatekeeper who guards this path of prey with his carapace.

It should have been lying here for a long time, while there should also be extremely aggressive bugs mixed inside the training ground, first filling up the land around the lurking place of the mountain-type bugs to make it easier for it to block the hole, sneak around with water, and hunt some snakes and wild goats every day to give it food. This could be judged from the sheep and snake bones hidden in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river.

Recently, however, with the summer approaching and more patrols, these bugs didn't dare to come easily.

If they weren't starving, I'm afraid the mountain-type bugs would have waited until the hordes came to move.

It wasn't until the squad members had worked together to drag the corpse of the mountain-type bug and re-block that hole that the monitors, who were at the closest point, arrived in their helicopters.

After the survey, Lee was about to call off the operation, but soon a female Alpha leader arrived on the scene and, seeing several people covered in battle scars, calmly announced that the "Scars" summer training would continue.

Senator Li was slightly disturbed, "But the Bugs ......"

The female Alpha calmly said, "Lee, don't forget that we select warriors."

She points to Ji Zuoshan and others, "...... are such warriors."

Before the words could fall, however, two hoarse cries interrupted her.

Chi Xiaochi followed the voice, and sure enough, it was the country face and the hair gel guy, who were in tears, pleading to get out of this summer training.

The female Alpha was vaguely disappointed, "...... and not someone like this."

Zhan Yanchao's hard-earned squad fell apart, but he didn't go with Ji Zuoshan and the others after all.

Before leaving, he looked deeply at Ji Zuoshan.

Through the extremely thick fourth-grade glass, the feeling is not very deep, only close at hand, Zhan Yanchao realized that Ji Zuoshan body hides such a huge energy.

...... What kind of a treasure did he used to possess?

Zhan Yanchao didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was afraid that if he thought about it any more, he would break down.

At six o'clock, an instruction message from headquarters was sent into the earphones of every member of the training team.

"The entire team will work together to kill three Bugs by 24:00 this evening. Each person needs to find a piece of Naman metal. This is today's mission."

Without any delay, the military declared that the mini-war belonging to these young kids had begun.

Ji Zuoshan, on the other hand, has already fought a tough battle and will not be afraid of anything.

A few people were lucky enough to find the remaining two bugs before eight o'clock, and they weren't even close to being characters compared to that mountain-type bug.

However, while looking for Naman metal, a few people hit a bottleneck.

In desperation, Chi Xiaochi said, "Let's split up. We'll meet at the coordinates (22, 125) in the B12 area tonight. Whoever arrives first will set off three rounds of electronic fireworks."

After the battle, Chi Xiaochi had invariably become the center of the group, giving instructions to which the Wang siblings obediently nodded their heads and walked behind Luo Qian and Chi Xiaochi.

Until 4:00 p.m., Chi Xiaochi's group still had nothing.

As early as three o'clock, the agreed-upon coordinates were set off with the Woofers' siblings in place fireworks.

Luo Qian couldn't hide her disgust, "Ji, your luck is too bad. Let's split up too."

Chi Xiaochi : "...... hmmm."

So the two of them split up as well.

Ji Zuoshan fell asleep in his body because of the loss of mental energy.

Chi Xiaochi skulked along a ruin with his hands behind his back, trying to find a picture frame or a vase made out of Naaman metal, and after a long search, he left the city and found a small lake, using his detector to look for it, but he still found nothing.

Seeing that the sky was turning dark, he simply fished a fish up from the lake nearby, intending to fill his stomach first.

It was only when the tension subsided and the crackling sound of a burning fire rang out that Chi Xiaochi, as if in thought, smiled and said to 061, "Mr. Six, it seems like a long time since I've been alone with you."
