Yaxiao took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to reply to Qin Qi's question. After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that there was no new information on the chat interface, he put the optical computer belonging to Yabu back into the system warehouse.
[Host, why did Qin Qi suddenly ask whether Yabu was at the garrison? ]
The system was a little confused about Qin Qi's thoughts. The host had been at the base for nearly two weeks and had not done anything with the identity of Crow Step. What on earth had attracted the villain's attention
"It might have something to do with the bugs in the ground."
Yaxiao answered casually while washing his fingers carefully under the faucet.
Humans and Zerg have been fighting each other for such a long time, and it cannot be underestimated that they can maintain the current balance. They should also have some detection tools. Yaxiao estimated that when he strangled the pile of white magic insects before, the humans noticed it.
After hearing Yaxiao's explanation, the system suddenly understood.
[Does the host plan to use the Crow Step form to meet Qin Qi in the future? ]
"decide as things go."
His eyelashes drooped slightly and he wiped the water off his hands carefully. Qin Qi must have some health problems at the moment, otherwise he would not have refused his examination.
As an ordinary person, Yaxiao cannot check the villain too forcefully, but it is different for Crow Step.
And Qin Qi must know the news about the Insect Mother.
Yaxiao was still thinking about the fight with the Insect Mother. He clenched his fists. In order to find the Insect Mother's trace, he had to find Qin Qi to get some information.
Going to meet Qin Qi under the identity of Yabu will definitely bring more advantages than disadvantages.
The system saw through Yaxiao's chances of success, nodded in understanding, and said nothing more.
After washing his hands, Yaxiao went to the medical station to help remove the medicine. In his opinion, Qin Qi should not be able to come back for a few days, after all, he had just left the base for two days.
As a result, that night he heard the news that Qin Qi had returned to the garrison.
It is said that Qin Qi came back from a long distance from the S-level danger zone.
Yaxiao didn't think that Qin Qi would come back just for Crow Steps. Qin Qi was a very sensible person. The situation on the battlefield was so intense now, and the garrison was full of reinforcements sent from other bases. At this time, it was not worth coming back just for Crow Steps.
So, it's those white bugs
Yaxiao wondered, could it be that the group of insects was very special, so Qin Qi came back specially
"Yaxiao, we are going to eat!"
A fellow volunteer who had just changed out of protective clothing reminded him.
"Okay, wait for me."
Yaxiao came back to his senses, curled the corners of his mouth, and followed his companion. He didn't have to be on duty at the medical station tonight. No matter what the reason was for Qin Qi's return, Yabu could just go and see Qin Qi.
On the other hand, Qin Qi also obtained detailed information about the compound eye from the researchers.
"In addition to the unknown cause of death, we have extracted the genes and blood cells of the Hundred Eyes. Compared with the Hundred Eyes captured by the Seventh Base, the genes of this Hundred Eyes have been significantly optimized. We have reason to suspect that this is the Hundred Eyes that the insect mother has recently bred."
"Well, pass this information to other bases."
Qin Qi's gaze paused on the word "optimize", then he closed the document and gave an order in a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, Sauron immediately responded.
In addition to them, there were also generals of extremely high ranks present. They were all in charge of various areas of the Sixth Base. Ever since they heard that Bai Fu Yan appeared in the garrison, their expressions had been somewhat ugly.
Qin Qi did not comfort them, his expression was slightly gloomy, "What did the analyst confirm?"
The researcher next to him flipped through the relevant information in the folder in his hand and reported: "The appearance of the hundred compound eyes means that the location of the base has been exposed. The analysts are selecting a new base."
Although small insect swarms occurred repeatedly outside the previous garrisons, they had little impact on the selection of new garrisons, and most of them could survive for a month.
However, this base was discovered by the demon insects after only one week.
"Analysts will select suitable campsites by tomorrow morning at the latest." The head of research raised his glasses.
"ASAP."
Qin Qi said nothing more. He put aside the data recording Bai Fu Yan and raised his eyelids to look at the person in charge of each area. "You have all seen the situation in the garrison. The place you are responsible for will only be worse. Let your soldiers be prepared."
"yes!"
Several senior generals in black military uniforms immediately saluted solemnly.
After the generals and researchers left, only Qin Qi and Soran were left in the office.
"Marshal, do we need to continue investigating the cause of Bai Fuyan's death?" Soran's voice sounded a little dull when it came out from under the gas mask.
"Need not."
Qin Qi said in a steady voice, "Give orders to intensify patrols near the garrison tonight."
When Soran and the Marshal returned from the S-level danger zone, he guessed in his heart that the Marshal might know the cause of death of Bai Fu Yan. After getting confirmation, he was instantly relieved.
"Yes, Marshal."
Soran nodded and turned to leave the office. In addition to patrolling, he also had to deal with the matter of leaving tomorrow morning immediately.
Tonight is another sleepless night.
Yaxiao, who had already left the medical station and returned to his room to rest, calculated the time to circulate the magic power in his body. The slender boy soon turned into a mature young man.
Yaxiao deliberately put on the clown mask he hadn't seen for a long time. He would usually wear a mask to see Qin Qi. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with his body, he went directly to Qin Qi's residence.
The villain should know that he will pass.
While thinking about the chat interface with Qin Qi, Yaxiao nimbly dodged the patrolling officers and walked into Qin Qi's camp by stepping on the windowsill.
When he saw Qin Qi sitting on the chair, Yaxiao curled his eyes without surprise.
"Hello, Marshal."
The two did not agree on a time to meet.
Qin Qi also did not show any surprise when he saw Yabu. According to the young man's behavior pattern, since the other party admitted that he was in the garrison, he would most likely come to see him.
The reason for Crowstep's visit to the garrison is unknown.
Qin Qi concealed the gloomy look in his eyes, and at least three guesses arose in his mind, but without exception, they were all related to the magic insects.
Crow Step's information channels are very wide, but he still cannot figure out Crow Step's true identity.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Neither of them spoke under the dim light. After a while, Qin Qi's low and hoarse voice sounded.
"Thank you very much."
The hundred compound eyes are different from ordinary magic bugs. Even if there are soldiers left at the garrison, the possibility of winning is almost zero. If it weren't for Crow Step, what would the volunteers, logistics soldiers, researchers, and even the boy in his heart face? Qin Qi's heart tightened. He looked up at the mysterious young man in front of him and said again in a hoarse voice:
"Thank you for guarding the station."
It turned out to be about the white bugs.
Yaxiao was even more certain that the bugs were different from ordinary magic bugs. He felt a little sorry that he didn't see them with his own eyes, but on the surface he still waved his hand in a cheerful tone:
"It's okay, Marshal, it's all for the future of mankind." Yaxiao said without any guilt. Well, the future of mankind does not conflict with his fight with the Insect Queen.
Qin Qi looked at the masked young man and nodded after a few seconds.
From the moment he met Crowstep, his every move was interpreting this purpose. If it weren't for Crowstep, the two Smythes hiding in the human base would not have been eliminated so easily.
It is impossible to completely let down your guard, but Qin Qi no longer believes that Yabu has any bad intentions. He is indeed working hard for the future of mankind, and that is enough.
"What's up with those demon bugs?"
Seeing that Qin Qi's attitude had slowed down, Yaxiao immediately continued to test the pole.
“Not sure yet.”
Qin Qi paused for a moment and continued, "It is currently suspected to be a precursor to a large insect tide."
The senior generals all had a premonition of this matter, and Yabu should have heard about it as well, so Qin Qi did not hide it.
A massive insect swarm
Yaxiao didn’t know what the difference was between the so-called large-scale insect swarm and the current insect swarm, but he could hear that the situation was more serious.
He did not ask about that, but said casually: "I wonder if the insect queen will appear in this large insect tide."
"Probably not." Qin Qi just thought it was just a casual remark from Crow Step. His expression was slightly gloomy. "Mother Worms usually don't go deep into the front lines."
Yaxiao stared at Qin Qi and suddenly asked:
"Marshal, do you already know where the insect mother is?"
"It's just a guess."
Qin Qi did not deny it.
Looking at Qin Qi's calm and reserved expression, Ya Xiao realized something, "Does the Marshal intend to get rid of the insect mother as soon as possible?"
"Well, our goal must be achieved as soon as possible."
Hear the word purpose.
Yaxiao suddenly remembered that he had deceived Qin Qi before, and they had the same goal.
He looked at Qin Qi's slightly depressed expression, and the tail hidden in his trouser leg shook slightly, "Marshal, do you need me to do anything?"
Since Qin Qi now knows the location of the insect mother and has cooperated with him in saying so much, it should be more than just a thank you to me for strangling the demon insect. Yaxiao is eager to try. Is he going to do something big with him
Crowstep is sharp.
Qin Qi thought of the young man again in an instant. He waved away the thoughts in his mind and looked at the mysterious young man with his dark eyes. "I will find the trace of the insect mother as soon as possible. During this time, I hope you can stay in the garrison."
Crow Step is very strong.
Qin Qi didn't know why Yabu came to the garrison, but he knew that if Yabu stayed, more people in the camp would survive.
"Until you feel it's time to leave."
Qin Qi stared at Crow Step not far away.
The young man was not an officer and had no obligation to protect the people, so Qin Qi gave him a very vague range.
As long as Crowstep wants to leave, he can leave directly.
Yaxiao naturally understood what he meant.
Qin Qi’s plan was very straightforward. He hoped that he could protect the people here while staying in the garrison.
Well, the villain also thinks he is very strong.
Thinking of this, Yaxiao felt very proud.
The room fell silent.
As Qin Qi's heart sank as time went by, he heard the young man say:
"Of course, Marshal, if you find the insect mother, remember to tell me. And Marshal, you have to let me see to what extent the fragments in your body have been digested."
Qin Qi's fingers paused slightly.
He was not surprised that Crow Step knew about the fragments, but why did the other party know that his fragments had not been completely digested
"How are you going to check?"
After a moment, Qin Qi said calmly.
Since Crowstep knew that the fragments were not digested, it meant that he was aware of the danger of the fragments.
“It’s very simple.”
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi's expression, walked slowly to his front, raised his finger and lightly tapped Qin Qi's forehead.
When Qin Qi's body was stiff, the young man said with a smile: "It will be ready soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yaxiao had already controlled the magic power to circle around Qin Qi's body.
When Qin Qi was about to say something, Yaxiao had already retracted his finger.
Qin Qi's tense back gradually relaxed. He looked at Yabu's silent appearance and said calmly, "Since you have already seen it and have no other requirements, the agreement between us is established. Before you feel it is time to leave, I hope you have a good time at the garrison."
Yaxiao observed Qin Qi's calm brows.
Thinking about how he had just used magic to find out Qin Qi's situation, he pursed his lips.
After Qin Qi made his decision, he noticed that Yabu was unusually silent. He frowned slightly and was about to ask when he heard Yabu say:
"Marshal, do you know the current condition of your body?"
Qin Qi paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Yes, I know. Don't worry. This won't affect our plan."
There was rarely any smile in Yaxiao's blue eyes.
A long time ago, Yaxiao knew that the fragments would bring great side effects to Qin Qi, but when his guess was confirmed, Yaxiao found it difficult to laugh.
The energy of the fragments will corrode the human body.
Just as he guessed, if Qin Qi completely absorbed the fragments, the man whose body was filled with energy balls would no longer be a human being in every aspect.
—He will be infinitely close to the barrier.
Perhaps he no longer possesses human consciousness, or even his body no longer exists. Because there is no precedent, no one knows what he will become.
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi's expression, which seemed to have expected this, and felt a little angry unconsciously.
"Got it. I'm leaving now."
He didn't say much to Qin Qi. After saying this, he walked to the window angrily and jumped out.
system:…
The host seems angry, but why
Qin Qi also noticed the other party's unhappy mood. He looked at the empty window in confusion, and then looked away after a moment.
Crowstep is a man of his word. With his promise, the safety of the garrison will be greatly improved.
Qin Qi silently looked at the simulated eyeball in his palm. The garrison was not absolutely safe. He had known this fact for a long time. However, when the crisis really came, Qin Qi realized that some things could not be fully accepted just by being prepared.
He was almost unable to see Yaxiao again.
The black simulated eyeballs were squeezed and tightened.
At the same time, the young man who ran out of Qin Qi's room huddled angrily on a big tree in the camp.
There was a rustling sound from the shaking branches. A young man in black clothes squatted on a branch, pulling at the branches from time to time, immersed in depression.
Even he himself didn't know where these emotions came from.
While the two of them were thinking about their own things, something dark was quietly brewing.
Somewhere far away in the Foggy Gorge Mountains.
A huge cocoon cracked into several pieces, and the crackling sound became louder and louder.
A few faint rays of light shone through the gaps, and the dazzling red gems seemed even more dazzling at this moment.
Amid the anticipation of countless demon insects, a pair of brilliant and dazzling wings broke out from the cocoon.
It was a huge butterfly.
The patterns on the wings are complex, smooth and extremely beautiful, but if you look closely you will feel a chill all over your body. The patterns are so deceptive that they can make people lose their minds. When they fall into delirium, they will imagine the most terrifying existence in the world and eventually die of fright.
"His Majesty."
A handsome white-haired man walked out from the dark corner.
It is Smythe who serves His Majesty.
It is also a product carefully made by Your Majesty.
[Devour him, I will devour him.]
The butterfly flew towards the man, its huge wings gradually became smaller, and finally landed on the man's shoulder.
The frantic urging made the man's brain seem to be churned by a blade. The demon insects hiding underground wailed, constantly comforting their Majesty.
As the only remaining Smet, Rand picked up the butterfly on his shoulder and kissed its wings devoutly.
"Your Majesty, that food is very strong."
"All our strong warriors were strangled. Please wait a moment. I will send stronger warriors and they will definitely bring back food this time."
The butterfly's wings slowly folded, as if being comforted, and its antennae swayed in the air, as if explaining something.
The white-haired Rand looked down at the extremely beautiful Majesty, and said in a low voice with a fanatical smile:
"Okay, since you want to get your food quickly, I'll take you away and let you hunt on your own."
Foolish humans only know that their Majesty is good at hiding and never easily appears on the battlefield.
However, they don’t know that the strongest demon insect is their Majesty. As long as his Majesty is present, any scale of demon insects can be summoned.
That human will definitely regret it.
—was not taken away by the soldiers, but by His Majesty’s own hands.
He will be responsible for the destruction of the base.
Just like the general named Qin Qi a few years ago.
