[Host, why were you angry just now? ]
When Yaxiao returned to the room, the system looked at him, still in a depressed mood, and asked tentatively.
Yaxiao actually didn't know why he was unhappy. He listened to his uncle's question and was silent for a few minutes before he said vaguely:
"Qin Qi is ready to sacrifice himself."
Yaxiao had already noticed this before, but after witnessing Qin Qi once again not cherishing his body, Yaxiao was still a little unhappy.
Demons are selfish.
Although Yaxiao has always been helping humans, if helping humans will infringe on his interests, he will give up without hesitation.
But Qin Qi is different.
Qin Qi was different from any other being he had ever met.
[The host is feeling sorry for Qin Qi? ]
The system looked at Yaxiao's tail drooping on the bed and tentatively concluded.
Feeling distressed
Yaxiao was at a loss for a moment. After sorting out the meaning of heartache, he nodded heavily and said firmly: "Yes, I feel sorry for Qin Qi."
After reaching this conclusion, Yaxiao felt much better. Qin Qi was so good to him. He would touch his head, cherish all the gifts he gave him, and teach him how to become stronger. If such a good human being was really gone, the devil would be very sad!
No wonder I'm unhappy.
The system was somewhat silent after receiving an affirmative answer.
What should it do? It increasingly felt that its host also liked Qin Qi, and judging from the host's appearance, it seemed that the host was not aware of this at all!
Then again, does the devil's innate memory contain memories of falling in love? The system was anxious and wanted to discuss this matter with the host in detail, but was also worried about misleading the host, and was tangled for a while.
On the other side, Yaxiao had adjusted his mentality by now. He sat cross-legged on the bed, leaning his head on his hand, thinking about how to solve Qin Qi's problem.
There is nothing the devil cannot do if he wants to.
Anyway, it will take some time for the fragments to be completely absorbed. As long as he fights with the Insect Mother before that, Qin Qi may not need to absorb the fragments to fight the Insect Mother.
Everything can be solved perfectly!
He doesn't have to feel sorry for Qin Qi anymore!
The problem now is how to find the insect mother.
However, this matter cannot be rushed. The best way is to deal with the insect mother in advance when Qin Qi finds it.
Yaxiao had a rough idea in his mind. He was wagging his tail and was about to take a nap under the quilt. It was at this moment that he noticed something strange.
"coming soon."
[Ah? What's coming?]
Not long after thinking about the host's love problem, the system, which had been dozing off, suddenly became much more awake. It looked around while wearing its reading glasses.
"Lots and lots of bugs."
Yaxiao listened to the sound of climbing in the distance and said thoughtfully: "It's more powerful than the previous small insect tide."
At that time, the small insect swarm covered a wide area, but it did not affect the garrison. The volunteers in the garrison were just panicked but not afraid.
But this time the movement was a little different. Yaxiao felt that the demon insects seemed to be rushing towards their base.
[What does the host plan to do now?]
When the system heard that the magic insects were coming, it immediately put aside its worries. The host is now a high-level demon, and it is difficult for those magic insects to harm the host.
"Wait a little longer."
Yaxiao stretched and lay down on the bed, "Qin Qi is still in the base, he doesn't need me."
At the same time, in the monitoring room inside the base, the images transmitted by the cameras showed nothing unusual. The night was quiet and peaceful, and the few magic insects that occasionally appeared were blocked outside the huge silver wall.
The three officers sitting on duty in front of the surveillance camera did not dare to slack off at all. When the officer who was taking over knocked on the door, they let down their guard a little. However, just as the three were about to get up and leave, something strange happened.
The harsh dripping sound penetrates the eardrum.
The stable wavelength of the magnetic field on the far left screen suddenly becomes short.
The three people's expressions changed.
"An insect swarm is coming! Go report to the marshal!"
"At this wavelength, they are invading this way!"
Anything can happen on the front lines.
From the moment they left the protection of the barrier, all officers were ready to fight at any time.
After the news of the insect invasion came, the officers who were ready to go led their troops out under the orders of their superiors.
Qin Qi sat in the first seat and looked at the situation on the battlefield on the screen with several senior generals.
The picture was divided into six parts and covered various areas. The generals' brows furrowed more and more as they looked at it. The wriggling magic insects in the darkness made people feel uncomfortable, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as disgusting.
Generally speaking, a small insect swarm is mostly composed of three to four kinds of magic insects, but there are six kinds of magic insects in the picture. The ground is mixed with the blood of magic insects and human limbs. The magic insects of various shapes are deformed and ugly, and they make sharp calls in the dark forest.
"Poisonous spiders, bamboo shoots, butterfly bones, ghost-faced mantises, man-eating moths, and three-legged fleas. Logically speaking, these demonic insects should not appear on the front line of the Sixth Base."
A relatively older general said with a dark face: "Just judging from the movements of these demon insects, they should still be in the assembly stage."
Each type of magic insect has an environment suitable for living. Generally speaking, these types rarely appear in inappropriate places. Such abnormality indicates the difficulty of this insect tide.
What's worse is that this is not their final size. Once every type of magic insects has gathered, the number will be nearly tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. By then, even the weakest Baizhu can easily kill a base of taboos in such a large scale.
"We must interrupt their buildup as quickly as possible."
A senior general interrupted, his eyes fixed on Qin Qi with a somewhat anxious expression, as if he wanted the marshal to give orders quickly.
The other generals also knew that time was running out. The demon insects would gather for about twenty-four hours. If they were not interrupted quickly, the situation would only become more serious.
Qin Qi moved his eyes away from the screen, his emotions remained stable, and his calm expression calmed the uneasy generals around him.
"How's the analyst doing?"
Qin Qi ignored them and said coldly.
"Report to the Marshal. The analysts have selected three locations and are currently investigating the safest route based on the current situation." Soran reported. "We will get the safest result before five o'clock tomorrow morning."
“Transfer immediately after the results come out.”
Qin Qi paused for a moment, and his eyes turned coldly to his subordinates: "The garrison is activated in the first-level alert mode, focusing on monitoring the sudden attacks of underground demon insects."
"Smit, Elani, the two of you stay here to protect the base."
The two young generals whose names were called immediately stood up and responded.
Qin Qi stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned around and walked out of the meeting room: "The rest of you leave with me. Before tomorrow morning, we have to clean up the surroundings and make way for the people in the garrison."
The Marshal intends to fight in person.
The generals present were shocked when they heard the words. They agreed and followed the marshal without hesitation.
There were still six hours left before determining the route and moving the garrison. Time was running out. The generals present felt heavy in their hearts when they thought of the appearance of the six kinds of magic insects, but they were not too panicked.
—The Sixth Base, and the Marshal is still there.
The officers of the garrison left in a hurry one after another. The darkness concealed their whereabouts and direction. Only the rapid beeping of the loudspeakers and the unusual noise of the garrison at night revealed a hint of anxiety.
"Yaxiao, hurry up, we need to go inside the shelter!"
Several volunteers who were familiar with the group came carrying large and small bags, looking flustered and terrified.
Alert level one means the danger level is increased.
The giant wall can block most of the magic insects for them, but for safety, ordinary volunteers can go to the shelter in the garrison.
"Too bad, why are there so many demon bugs suddenly here?!"
The huge silver wall in the distance was rumbling, and the sharp cries of magic insects could be heard in the deep night. Thinking of the countless magic insects outside the wall, the volunteers' faces turned pale instantly.
Yaxiao looked at the officers in black uniforms marching hurriedly through the crowd, and said to his companions who were urging him, "You go ahead. I'll go to the medical station."
The garrison is obviously in some chaos now.
With that, he turned and headed for the medical station.
Several volunteer companions looked at each other with pale faces, but no one said anything to stop them.
The medical station is now also staffed.
But for safety reasons, most volunteers evacuated to the shelter. Since Yaxiao wanted to continue working, they had no reason to stop him.
"Let's go inside the shelter first. There are also injured people there who need care."
"good!"
Several volunteers slowly came out of their fear, nodded in agreement, turned around and carried their luggage to the underground shelter.
The garrison was neither as lively nor as safe as the bases and fortresses, but as a place for officers to catch their breath and rest, the atmosphere was not bad. However, one could feel the tension in the air now.
Yaxiao looked at the officers who were in a hurry, thought for a moment, and quickened his pace to the medical station.
There were not many patients in the medical station at this time.
Only a few medical personnel were performing emergency operations.
The medical station has a lot of large equipment, which would take up too much space to transport to the shelter, and the patients’ injuries make it difficult to move them.
"Yashiao, aren't you going to the shelter?"
An elderly man was somewhat surprised to see Yaxiao. He was Job, the director of the medical station and also the person in charge of these patients.
"Well, I'll help."
Yaxiao nodded obediently.
Qiao Bu's eyes were somewhat touched. He moved his lips and sniffed, as if he was suppressing the emotions in his heart, "Yaxiao, you are such a good boy."
"Thanks."
Yaxiao felt that the webmaster seemed to have misunderstood something, but it was not a big deal, so he accepted the title of good boy without blushing or breathing heavily.
After nearly two weeks of working at the medical station, Yaxiao was very familiar with the work here. He could find work for himself without the stationmaster's arrangement.
The stationmaster saw Yaxiao skillfully changing the patient's medicine bottle and left with peace of mind. He still had a lot of things to deal with, such as comforting the seriously ill patients in the next room who could not leave.
He was busy for three or four hours without stopping. After finishing the work at hand, Yaxiao's eyes fell out the window.
It's pitch dark outside.
However, Yaxiao could see through the darkness the officers fighting bloody battles outside, the mountains of demon insect corpses, and the dense swarms of demon insects marching towards the garrison, with an expression of great interest, as if he was watching a movie.
Even a great demon has limited perception.
Yaxiao searched for a long time but couldn't find where Qin Qi had gone. He just snapped his fingers when he noticed that there were a few magic insects outside the camp and were about to devour an officer.
Well, sometimes it's a bit boring just to watch.
Anyway, Crow Step had passed through Qin Qi's side.
Is it okay to play assist remotely
Thinking of this, Yaxiao took care of the unconscious patient while slacking off and occasionally talking to his fourth uncle.
The system was drinking refreshing tea and chatting with Yaxiao with sleepy eyes. Suddenly, it heard the host exclaim, and stopped turning the pages of the book in its hand.
[Host?]
Yaxiao did not respond. The bandage roll he was holding fell to the ground. His eyes stared blankly at a corner as if they were unfocused. His breathing became disordered for a moment, as if he had seen something.
[Host? Host, what’s wrong with you? ]
The system instantly dropped the teacup in its hand. Even if it was slow, it realized that something was wrong.
Why did this happen suddenly
The system was at a loss. Just when it was about to take out various potions from the mall, it suddenly noticed a light spot floating in the air in the corner.
It was a blood-red butterfly.
The wings are fluttering, beautiful and dazzling.
It landed quietly on Yaxiao's shoulder, and the boy seemed to feel nothing, like a puppet without feelings. The tiny blood butterfly stopped flapping its wings, and the next second it suddenly grew bigger.
The wings were like blood-red flames, instantly filling the entire room.
system:…
What the hell?!
The red compound eyes carried a cold-blooded horror, the two tentacles were waving in the air, and the three pairs of legs were huge and slender.
It was not until this moment that the system's presbyopic eyes noticed that the patterns on the butterfly's wings looked very much like white bones and rolling eyeballs.
The system covered its heart, feeling that it was a bit too old to handle. It trembled and fed the host a refreshing soup from the mall, staring at the butterfly and tremblingly said: [Host, don't scare me, what's wrong with you? ]
Yaxiao did not respond.
The blood butterfly's mouthparts had already touched Yaxiao's temple.
The system knew that this thing was definitely not a good guy. It instantly picked up the sword purchased in the mall and rushed out without thinking. However, the constraints of the plane prevented it from even having the chance to touch the magic insect.
The sword pierces the butterfly's body.
The butterfly was unharmed.
The system burst into tears. It had not felt like crying this much in nearly four hundred years since its retirement. Just as it had been stabbing the butterfly for hundreds of times to no avail, a familiar and clear voice rang out:
"Uncle, don't cry."
The system was stunned, and looked over with its tear-blurred presbyopic eyes. The huge blood-red butterfly had shattered into dots of light at some point. Under the blood-red dots of light that filled the room, the young man raised his lips and said softly:
"I'm fine."
"I just saw some images that made the devil unhappy."
At the end of his words, the smile in the boy's eyes disappeared completely.
At the same time, Smeltland, who was attracting attention with the insect swarm, seemed to have sensed something.
His face suddenly turned pale.
The next second, Rand stabbed his heart with his sharp nails without hesitation.
As blood gushed out, Rand carefully took out a bloody cocoon from his heart.
The blood-soaked cocoon looks like a beating heart.
"Your Majesty, I will take you back now!"
Rand spoke anxiously, turned around and left the spot, his expression was extremely ugly.
how so
Your Majesty can make people fall into the most terrifying illusions. Once they see it, it is absolutely impossible to wake up. They will only be swallowed up by your Majesty in fear. But why was that guy able to break free? !
It can even smash your majesty's body!
The enemy's strength was beyond their expectations, but it didn't matter. Rand held His Majesty's cocoon carefully with fanatical eyes.
Their Majesty will not die.
That guy can't possibly defeat their Majesty, and he's only fit to be their Majesty's meal. It looks like taking shortcuts won't work, and they have to wait for more magic insects to come.
Rand thought about it, jumped up, and quickly left the human camp. Just as he was about to quietly return to the pile of magic insects, he suddenly heard a few chuckles in his ears.
Rand froze and turned to look over.
The black-haired boy appeared beside him at some point. His cold blue eyes did not show any smile, but his tone was still sweet and cheerful:
"Can you wait a moment?"
"I'm very curious about the shiny thing on your hand."
"You won't mind giving it to me, will you?"
