Chapter 19 Feeling

Mu Chen smiled slightly when he heard Mingmei ask this.

Although Mingmei couldn't see him smiling in his current form as a Thousand-Eyed Insect, she could feel his cheerful mood through the light laughter in his tone.

"A feeling. You are different from other insects."

As one of the top five insects in terms of mental strength, he could naturally spot Mingmei's location at a glance under the Thousand-Eyed Insect's mental network.

"Really? How am I different?"

"Yes, only I can sense it."

While other insects were fleeing in a panic, only Mingmei was constantly looking back to see what the warship behind them was doing, and even spacing out.

This lack of urgency and lazy, salted-fish vibe in a survival game could only belong to Mingmei.

However, Mu Chen didn't plan to say this to Mingmei.

Mingmei felt a little shy hearing this, and afraid of an awkward silence, she looked around and realized that she and Mu Chen seemed to have gotten separated from the main group. She then said, "At this rate, I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out soon, unless we lead a counterattack."

"That's right. Although we're playing the role of insects, most players haven't switched their mindset. They don't know how to use their own advantages to fight back. Their first reaction is to escape, which is the stupidest decision, exposing their backs to the enemy."

Mingmei nodded. The scene of the insects being chased without any ability to fight back was still fresh in her mind.

If she hadn't taken a hit for Mu Chen at the last moment, Mingmei wouldn't have had a clear understanding of her own insane defense.

The defense of a Black Armor Insect General was simply incomparable to the ordinary beetles they usually encountered in the game.

A armor-piercing bullet plus a laser cannon or something was like drizzle to Mingmei. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to run while carrying Mu Chen, exposing her back.

No wonder when the insect race and humans fought, Black Armor Insects, especially those of high rank or above, were regarded as insect fortresses by everyone.

The presence of high-level Black Armor Insects indicated the presence of the insect race's battle command or the insect queen.

Therefore, Mingmei felt very fortunate to have gotten such a tanky role in this game.

"But I think…" Mingmei thought about the reactions of the students and said, "I think they might not even be able to accept becoming insects and then slaughtering 'comrades' while feeding kills."

This was not impossible.

Mingmei had previously heard people complaining and expressing dissatisfaction, even disgust, with their roles.

Thinking back to when she first came in, because of an accident, the major, who was one step slower, ended up becoming an insect and even wanted to attack her, a fellow insect. Who knew if he would feed kills?

Such behavior, feeding kills, would happen again and again.

Mingmei sighed and asked, "If there really aren't many people left in the end, what do you think we should do?"

"Do you want to fight? I'll be with you." Mu Chen knew Mingmei had other plans when he heard her tone.

"If we're going to fight, we need at least one more person. My defense is high, but I'm really not good at fighting." As soon as Mingmei finished speaking, Mu Chen helped her out, "Let's find someone familiar first."

As for who was familiar, Mingmei naturally thought of Lu Xiaoyao, but others could also be considered.

After all, she didn't know what kind of insect Lu Xiaoyao had become.

"Can you find other insects now?"

"Yes, I can sense a little, but my mental network isn't spread out too much. I remember that the army's combat starships seem to have a function to capture insect mental power and then locate the insects."

Mu Chen had specifically listened to this type of lesson in class, and even did some research afterwards. To this, the salted-fish Mingmei said—[Woah, is what Mu Chen saying true?]

[Yes, some new-generation combat starships have this function, but not all legions' combat starships have been updated.]

[Are you saying the Sixth Legion might not have…]

[No, didn't you hear that the vice-commander of the Sixth Legion smashed the Minister of Finance's office before?]

Mingmei: …

The rest didn't need Gui Gui to say. Mingmei knew that people who smashed offices naturally wouldn't return empty-handed.

"Then let's find some people first."

After confirming that they would find teammates first before fighting, the two followed the mental fluctuations of insect companions that Mu Chen sensed. But they didn't expect it to be a large "kindergarten" squabble.

Mingmei: =、=?

Could someone tell her what was going on with two Star Ember Insects spitting "saliva" at each other?

The Star Ember Insect's body fluid was high-temperature, highly corrosive, and highly toxic. Any one of these three was a formidable force, but now—??

They were just spitting at each other?

"You…"

Mingmei hadn't spoken yet, but she had already recognized who the two people in front of her were!

"Ahhh! You bastard! Harming your comrades! Pui pui pui! Spit!!"

Lu Xiaoyao shouted as she launched an attack on the guy who was a little bigger than her, so angry that she didn't even have time to react to who this guy was!

"Pui pui pui pui pui!"

Actually, Star Ember Insects didn't make a sound when they sprayed body fluid. Mingmei remembered learning this through videos when she was in school, and it was the same in the games she had played later.

However, when Lu Xiaoyao sprayed, her own voice was unrestricted, and she even provided sound effects for her wave.

Not only was Mingmei speechless, but Valdo, who was attacking Lu Xiaoyao in a fit of pique, was also infected by the "pui pui" sound and then—"I pui!!!"

Now, Mingmei could also tell who this person was.

Besides Valdo, who would attack a companion for no reason?

"Are they… okay?"

Mu Chen was stunned by the "pui pui pui" and "I pui!!" sound effects for a long time before he came back to his senses. Seeing Mingmei so calm, he asked curiously.

"Ah, it's not surprising that either of them would do this."

Mingmei couldn't see her expression under her dark insect body, but her tone was full of helplessness.

"This is Major Valdo from our warship who persuaded us to play. He probably knew the inside story, so his reaction was very fast at the time. It's just that he was one step slower in the role selection and became an insect. Isn't he just being a sore loser?"

"Who's being a sore loser?!"

Valdo hadn't failed to notice the arrival of Mingmei and Mu Chen, but this Star Ember Insect who kept spitting at him was too annoying. He couldn't help but keep spitting at Lu Xiaoyao.

However, he had heard all of Mingmei and Mu Chen's conversation.

"This is the nature of Star Ember Insects, one area cannot tolerate two insects! I pui!! I'll spit you to death!"

"I pui! I didn't even move two steps! You just barged in, aren't I allowed to talk back? Pui pui pui pui—"

Lu Xiaoyao heard the other party's sudden sophistry and naturally saw the two insects flying in the distance. Not having time to ask who they were, Lu Xiaoyao also shouted along with Valdo's sophistry.

Now, Mingmei was even more certain.

These two hadn't graduated from kindergarten yet!
