Chapter 614 - 186: Hostages?
Xing Miao beamed, she absolutely loved Su Xiaocai’s approach to things, never prohibiting them from flying out because of safety concerns.Always able to back them up, so cool.
The professors were impressed by this pretty girl, initially thinking she was Su Xiaocai’s assistant or something, only to find out she was a young warrior.
They weren’t very familiar with the competition, unaware of who Xing Miao was.
"This young lady is also going to fight?"
"Yes, but I’m not a young lady, professors, goodbye for now." Xing Miao saluted Su Xiaocai before exiting the room, joining the role of Guardian.
Su Xiaocai stood inside the doorway, smiling as she watched them fight to protect her, feeling a different kind of security.
"Pretty good." In the next moment, her smile couldn’t hold, "Don’t step on my fields, unbelievable, can’t you see the seedlings are growing fine?"
With a roar, the Mecha Masters felt a chill, everyone checked their feet, those stepping in Su Xiaocai’s fields quickly retreated, instinctively keeping away from the green fields.
Xing Miao: As expected of Su Xiaocai, her eyes only see her fields, whoever steps on them won’t have any negotiations.
Luckily, the Insect Men were attracted by humans, so they couldn’t spare the seedlings in the fields.
Just occasionally some clueless ones stepped on the seedlings directly.
Attack weapons surrounded the field already, Insect Men unlucky enough to be targeted by weapons were very miserable, soon falling with hatred, and then hit by a Mang Blood Seed, turned into mud (fertilizer) on the spot.
The red flowers exuded an "evil aura," terrifying roots entrenched on the half-dead Insect Men corpses, from a distance, they looked like bulging veins, pulsating rhythmically.
Insect Men with eyes would not voluntarily provoke.
Thus, the battle at Su Xiaocai’s place wasn’t considered intense, her bodyguards could handle it, and the professors’ bodyguards were used as reinforcements; with time stretched out, they could take turns.
The professors guessed it probably wasn’t a large-scale raid, otherwise it was too peaceful here.
Little did they know, it was quite the contrary, the Insect Men launched their largest attack ever.
In the skies, over a dozen Insect Man Warriors tore open the space barrier, bringing two Insect Mothers, emerging from subspace, "eager for battle" preparing to conquer Blue Star.
The moment the Insect Men appeared, Blue Star Space Station’s deputy director nearly knelt.
Despair showed on his face, there were too many, so many that Blue Star’s current forces couldn’t counterattack.
Not many people were at the space station, but since the professor said he’d visit today, his uncle specifically instructed him to approve the professor’s passage, he absolutely didn’t expect this day to come.
The space station deputy director and construction personnel were trapped in the space station.
As hostages, mind you, hostages.
No one anticipated that Insect Men would know how to use food as a threat.
One of the Insect Mothers landed in space, addressing the military, "Humans, let’s discuss terms. We need Blue Star, as long as you leave Blue Star, we can spare the people in the space station. Hostages can only survive for five hours, if you don’t evacuate within five hours, all this food will be ours."
Colonel Yuan initially receiving the news thought he was hallucinating.
Insect Men taking humans as hostages? They only consider them food, hostages must be a human term.
Who was the idiot teaching this, disrupting their rear’s current peace, completely brainless?
Insect Men learned to threaten and understand slow slaughter, it’s a serious problem.
Millions? Or tens of millions, countless Insect Men surrounded the space station, forming a dense cluster, like a moving school of fish, mostly coward soldiers with a few Greeders.
Only a portion acted like blind flies not understanding orders, dropping to the ground, the rest were all here.
If the Insect Man Warriors or Insect Mothers were lost, these relatively weak Insect Men would lose control.
This battle could only be resolved by eliminating them simultaneously.
Five hours isn’t enough time to win.
And five hours isn’t enough to evacuate.
But abandoning the people in the space station would violate military codes, every life is worth saving.
Colonel Yuan was caught in a dilemma.
Fortunately, he had a commander, so he didn’t have to make the decision.
Admiral Bai, leading his Mecha Masters, ejected from the docked large battleship, seizing the opportunity while the Insect Men were suppressing their appetite, he began deploying troops.
His intent was clear, rescue those in the space station within five hours as best as possible, if rescued, great, if not, too bad.
The Insect Men never adhere to promises, humans taught them this trick of using hostages against humans, and evidently, they are replicating it.
