Dark Blood Age Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Chapter 345 It Needs To Be Killed

“Division commander, the swarm became smaller!” political commissar Liu put down the binoculars and said with surprise.

“Something must have happened… Ask the ninth division to relocate to the north. Old Feng can’t hold much longer. He needs reinforcement!” Division commander Ren Tongyan held a latest developed a.s.sault rifle, walked over a dead insect that had rushed into the front line command headquarter and said while adjusting his metal helmet.

“Commander, I have an idea,” a middle-aged staff officer ran to him and said.

“Say it!” Ren Tongyan said sternly and then immediately turned around to speak to another officer, “ask all the regiments to check their ammunition.”

The middle-aged staff officer took out the book in his hand and said excitedly, “Division commander, there is an excellent opportunity! We have just received a piece of information, the insects across the sea did not attack the refugees, who attempted to flee to Macau and Bandao City! I suggest sending people immediately. Mixing into the refugees’ groups to cross the sea and detour around Bandao City. We can attempt to approach the insect’s creep area from land and destroy their tombs that way!”

“No, this is too risky. We can’t make unnecessary sacrifices, and once the insect discovers our intentions, those refugees will be killed!” political commissar Liu immediately declined.

“Commissar, according to how the insects usually act, something must have happened to them. Otherwise, it is not possible for them to remove so many insects from the frontline at once. This may be our only chance!” the middle-aged staff officer insisted.

“I still disagree. Before I know the real reason behind the enemy’s move, I don’t recommend taking risks. Our men and resources are limited. We can’t waste a single bullet!” Political commissar shook his head.

“Commander!” the middle-aged staff officer looked at Ren Tongyan and said, “commander, we all know how quickly the insect can recover itself. This may be our only chance. Once we succeed, our division will be able to retreat to Jing Ji island safely.”

“Meng Ziliang, how dare you suggest retreat at this time! Say one more word about the retreat I’ll have you executed here straightaway!” Political commissar said angrily.

Meng Ziliang snorted, “commissar Liu, everyone knows that we can’t hold this place very long, and sooner or later we will need to retreat to Jing Ji island. You can ask around. Who does not know about this!?”

Commissar Liu instantly took out a pistol and held it against Meng Ziliang’s head and said, “you think I didn’t dare to execute you?”

“What are you doing! Put your gun down!” Ren Tongyan said coldly.

“Commander!””Commander!” Both of them instantly looked at him and said.

“Pick some elites from our regiments and The Energy Pract.i.tioner Department. Tell them what they need to know and ask them to cross the sea immediately!” Ren Tongyan quickly ordered.

“Yes sir!” There was visible happiness on Meng Ziliang’s face. After all, the division commander was still on his side.

“Wait!” Political commissar looked at Meng Ziliang and said, “Old Ren, any orders will need my approval, this is the rule. But since you agree with this plan, I don’t want to reject it again. However, I have one condition. Staff officer Meng will need to serve as a supervisor for this operation. The plan was proposed by him. He is the best person to do it! ”

Meng Ziliang’s face suddenly went pale, he used his shaking hands to point at the commissar and said angrily, “you… You are…”

“Huh! This is an order, as long as you are in this uniform, you will need to follow it!” The Commissar snorted, “Meng Ziliang, since Wu Yang city, all you think about during the combat is to retreat. If it weren’t for the commander, I would have already had you executed!”

“Commander? You know I have a family…” Meng Ziliang immediately sought help from the commander.

“Who doesn’t have a family!” Commissar Liu said with disdain, “Commander, the whole division is watching you!”

Ren Tongyan squinted his eyes and said, “Meng Ziliang, follow the mission to the end!”

Meng Ziliang’s mouth was wide open, but he didn’t dare to say anything. His face was pale and his body was shaking. When he heard the order he almost collapsed. But he didn’t dare to collapse, because the commander’s hand was on his gun…

…

Lee Taidou slowly prepared his weapons and equipment. When the order came down, he did not have the same excitement that he had in the past. He only thought about how dangerous the task was and how he would be able to survive in the task.

His former colleagues looked at him strangely, as if they knew him for the first time. In the past, no matter how dangerous the tasks were, Lee Taidou was the only person that urged people to speed up their actions. Never once other people would need to wait for him.

In total, 30 elites were selected from both the military and the energy pract.i.tioner department. They were divided into three groups and ordered to take the action separately to ensure the success of the mission.

All of them were carrying the explosives and hiding in big raincoats and joining the refugees to cross the sea…

….

Chu Yunsheng had asked Dumb Insect to withdraw all the insects from the front line.

He would not help Yan Min, and he couldn’t help human beings in Hong Kong as well. Dumb Insect’s force was less than one-tenth of Yan Min’s force. The only advantage Chu Yunsheng had was the air force.

Human beings couldn’t differentiate each individual insect just like insects couldn’t differentiate each individual human being.

So asking Dumb Insect not to attack human beings already reached its limit. He didn’t want to ask it to attack Yan Min. Because he didn’t want to put Dumb Insect in a difficult position. Besides, he didn’t have that right either. He was a human being, and Dumb Insect was an insect.

All he could do at the moment was to sit quietly on top of the main tomb looking at the war escalate continually.

Compared to Yan Min who had a non-stop supply of combat units, the defense line of Hong Kong was getting weaker and weaker. Sooner or later, they would be defeated.

“Feng, there is something I need to talk to you privately.” Just when Chu Yunsheng gazed blankly at the battlefield. He suddenly heard Yan Min’s message.

“What is it?” Chu Yunsheng was confused. Why would Yan Min contact him at this time?

“Come to the edge of your creep area, I can’t isolate the message channel in the place you are staying at the moment,” Yan Min said sternly.

Chu Yunsheng was alarmed. ‘Did it find out that I am a fake Min?’

“This place is fine, I have not fully recovered yet,” Chu Yunsheng immediately refused.

“Feng, you can ride a combat unit here. This thing is related to Dumb Insect,” Yan Min said.

What he said immediately shocked Chu Yunsheng. ‘How did it know Dumb Insect?’

“When I came back from the north, I tried to contact you. But you were in deep sleep. I was surprised that there is another wisdom unit in your creep area, and it even had a name,” Yan Min’s message was filled with surprise.

“It is related to it?” Chu Yunsheng had a strange and bad feeling all of sudden. But he could not tell what it was.

“Yes, you probably haven’t fully recovered yet, so you don’t remember many things, but there is something I have to tell you,” Yan Min said sternly.

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second. Looking at Dumb Insect who was wheeling in the sky far away from him, he gritted his teeth and called over some green-sh.e.l.led insects to help him to get to the edge of creep area.

“Feng, can you tell me how the other wisdom unit was born?” Yan Min suddenly asked.

“I don’t know,” Chu Yunsheng cautiously replied.

“Feng, its wisdom grows too fast and it surpa.s.ses the normal evolutionary speed of a wisdom unit. I have secretly tested it before. The result made me very concerned,” Yan Min said concernedly.

“What do you mean?” Chu Yunsheng also didn’t know the answer. He knew that Dumb Insect was the special one in the swarm, it liked to study, liked to imitate. More importantly, it had an independent consciousness.

“I suspected that it was contaminated by deviants!” Yan Min said sternly.

“What!” Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second.

“Yes, the development of its wisdom is completely different from ours,” Yan Min said with certainty.

“But it is not smarter than you and me,” Chu Yunsheng argued.

“Wisdom is just part of the problem, the main problem is that it began to become more and more sympathetic to deviants!”

“It was me who ordered it not to attack those human beings. I am still recovering, I couldn’t afford to take any risks…” Chu Yunsheng once again used his injury as an excuse.

“Feng, that’s not what I meant. According to the characteristics of our race and with its wisdom level at the moment, there is no way that it is able to control The Mark Of Hatred that has been imprinted onto us since we were born… but it kept it under control…” Yan Min said.

“But I once personally felt its hatred towards deviants before!” Chu Yunsheng clearly remembered that when they encountered a group of refugees near Wu Yi mountain, the hatred Dumb Insect had was not less than Old Purple.

“This is why I am worried. Its ability to suppress the hatred towards deviants is getting stronger and stronger! It even secretly kept a deviant!” Yan Min still found it hard to believe.

“So, what do you want to do?” Chu Yunsheng realized that Yan Min wasn’t discussing with him. It already had a conclusion.

“I don’t know, if it is just simply contaminated by deviants, then when Shang arrived we could request Shang to purify it. But…” Yan Min suddenly stopped.

After a moment of silence, it finally said, “I have just obtained an a.n.a.lysis of its mucus sample. The mark and the mission of our race that were imprinted on its life force have shown signs of degeneration! This is the reason why I want to talk to you right now!”

“What is that?” Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but ask.

“I don’t know, The Book Of The Insect also didn’t mention anything about this. I can only think of a blurry message that I got from the fragment of the first tomb I was in when I just entered Earth. The message said that our race once had an internal war that almost caused our entire race to die out! And it seemed like the whole thing began with the generation of the mark…” Yan Min was deeply concerned.

“Are you sure about this?” Chu Yunsheng asked.

“No. The sign of degeneration was not very obvious. It might be caused by some other things that I don’t understand. So I have to wait for Shang to make a decision,” Yan Min hesitated.

“What do you need me to do?” Chu Yunsheng asked calmly.

“The speed of its development is already outside our control. According to The Book Of The Insect, if we discovered the contamination and if Shang is not present, we need to eliminate it immediately. However, since you have handed over the control of your creep to it, you have lost the ability to kill it, and I am busy dealing with the human beings in the south…” Yan Min paused for a second and carried on.

“At the moment, if you could closely monitor its movement and report it to me… I know it is your kid… but as a Min, I need to remind you that if it is not contaminated by deviants, and if it is… if it really is… I will definitely pull back all my forces and attack Dumb Insect…” Yan Min finally told Chu Yunsheng the plan that he didn’t want to hear the most.
