Wanqi Siling
Chapter 581 Recognizing a New Identity
Immediately afterwards, a starship at the forefront was surrounded by the pseudo-mother larvae. Soon, the starship was torn to pieces. The explosive flames stunned the surrounding insects and starships for a moment.
"Oh my god..."
Mingmei ran while watching what was happening behind her. Although she still didn't understand why she could see what was behind her without turning her head, she still felt shocked.
"No wonder Lou Jia said his home planet was destroyed by pseudo-mothers."
Mingmei remembered Lou Jia talking about his home. If a starship encountered just a few pseudo-mother larvae and ended up like this, one could only imagine what it would be like if a whole group of pseudo-mothers charged onto a planet.
The records in the books were far less impactful than seeing it with her own eyes.
Mingmei had found the pseudo-mother insect race amazing when she studied related knowledge in class.
The fighting power of the pseudo-mother weakened with age, but their mental strength increased with age.
If the young pseudo-mother larvae were like an uncontrollable, crazy, and hungry beast, then the adult pseudo-mother was like a wise old sage.
She hid all the larvae in her body, using her mental strength to soothe them. When war required them, the pseudo-mother would throw the larvae out, cutting off the mental comfort and plunging them into a frenzy of battle.
Until they devoured everything nutritious...
Therefore, on the battlefield, it was extremely unwise to suddenly attack an adult pseudo-mother, especially one filled with pseudo-mother larvae.
Having caught the last "late train" for humanity, Qi Hai Kui was happily firing away with a group of Sixth Legion soldiers disguised as human soldiers. Accidentally shattering an adult pseudo-mother, he was now trembling.
"Kid, you're a fresh face."
Those who came to play human soldiers were basically using their real faces. And the guys playing soldiers here mostly came from the same legion.
Even though the Sixth Legion had over a million people, not everyone knew each other. But the task of receiving "new recruits" had been assigned to specific people beforehand.
Of the thousand or so people chosen, not everyone was familiar, but you'd expect to recognize at least two out of five, right?
But so far, everyone's attention was focused on the rookie who had made the mistake, and it seemed like, just maybe, no one recognized him.
"Who brought you here? Hmm?"
A fierce-looking bald man stood in front of Qi Hai Kui, making him look even whiter and weaker.
Of course, Qi Hai Kui's arms weren't even as thick as the other man's thighs, but he still said without blinking, "Brought? Who needs to be brought? I got here on my own merits!"
After saying this, Qi Hai Kui felt extremely guilty.
He wasn't sure if the other person was trying to trick him, but when he suddenly arrived in such an unfamiliar scene during the battle, with everyone around him acting like they were on steroids, it was impossible for him not to pay attention to his surroundings!
Who brought him? Who he was with? He hadn't seen anything like that.
Sure enough, the other man's ferocious face suddenly softened when he heard Qi Hai Kui's words, and he chuckled twice before saying, "I knew it! You kid ~ don't look like anything fake. I thought the game had updated with some kind of insect that could turn into humans!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Qi Hai Kui, but Qi Hai Kui's danger radar hadn't gone down. Seeing the other man's movement, he subconsciously dodged.
The moment he dodged, everyone around him moved.
But before anyone could get close, Qi Hai Kui actually raised his energy gun and fired at the people trying to pounce on him, just to scare them.
As a result, as if knowing that Qi Hai Kui didn't want to kill them, everyone just laughed without even trying to dodge.
"Hahaha! There's a newbie mixed in here! Which idiot didn't catch up! Hahaha, hurry! There's a newbie here!"
With that shout, Qi Hai Kui didn't dare to stop at all. He took off running, cursing the old soldiers for being crazy!
If you're playing a game, just play the game!
"Aren't we fighting insectoids? Why are you guys grabbing me?" The old soldiers' eyes lit up at Qi Hai Kui's agility and ability to avoid danger!
An interesting newbie!
"No! We're just here to beat up newbies! Anyway, the ones outside are also newbies, and they're so big and hard to hit. Isn't it better to catch one in here and beat him up? Right, brothers?!"
Good heavens, one old soldier shouted, and he was met with countless echoes: "Yes!!!"
This made Qi Hai Kui stumble...
Outside, the starships that had been scattered by the pseudo-mother larvae accelerated, bypassing the pseudo-mother larva swarms and chasing after Mingmei and the others again.
Mingmei, as a Black Armor insectoid, wasn't afraid of being hit a few times, but the players playing other insectoids were different. Mingmei watched as several Thousand-Eye insects were killed one after another. Suddenly, Mingmei felt her vision go dark.
Fortunately, she quickly adapted, but when her vision returned, Mingmei realized that her field of vision had become very small.
"What's going on?"
Mingmei felt like she had been hit by some kind of ammunition behind her, but fortunately, it wasn't serious.
[Host, have you forgotten what you learned about insectoids? The role of the Thousand-Eye insect in the insectoid army is to provide ample vision for various combat insectoids by establishing a mental network. That's why your vision was so broad earlier.]
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
[You didn't ask, and players are supposed to explore and experience it themselves. But, Host, since you've asked, I don't need to tell you about the role of your Black Armor insectoid, right?]
As Guigui said this, Mingmei's sharp eyes suddenly spotted a Thousand-Eye insect charging towards her. Mingmei immediately reacted and rushed behind the Thousand-Eye insect, blocking a laser cannonball aimed at it.
"Meimei."
Mu Chen's voice suddenly came. Mingmei was pleasantly surprised, "Achen, is that you?"
"Yes, I turned into a Thousand-Eye insect. I..."
As soon as Mu Chen spoke, Mingmei instantly felt her field of vision widen again.
Before Mu Chen could finish, Mingmei saw in his shared vision that the mecha behind them seemed to be accelerating again. Mingmei directly grabbed the slender Thousand-Eye insect with her two insect legs and ran.
The posture, the shape, the running speed, made some of the other players running for their lives look very strange.
That pose...
