Chapter 88 Nuclear Explosion Baby Queen Insect!

Sigh, I’ve been pinned down.

Wang Jixuan felt slightly regretful that he couldn’t get a close look at the crystal core of the young queen insect.

Zhou Zhengde knew Master Wang well, so he didn’t give Wang Jixuan a chance to ask for permission to fight, and directly persuaded Commander Dongfang Zhenghong.

The three cyborgs are discussing countermeasures.

Now, the only hope is that Zheng Shiduo and a few C-level psychic users can withstand the field mental interference of the young queen insects.

If Zheng Shiduo fails, then the only option is to attack from other directions, which will undoubtedly increase the casualties of ordinary soldiers.

Wang Jixuan really felt that he could give it a try.

The process of this mission is not complicated—go through a certain distance, find the young queens, press a button to launch a missile. These are high-cost, specially manufactured man-portable missiles that carry miniature tactical nuclear warheads and can ignore interference to directly eliminate the young queens.

Unfortunately, now that his value has increased, they no longer want him to be on the front lines.

This has both advantages and disadvantages.

Besides coveting the large crystal core, Wang Jixuan also wanted to see the monster that had tried to kill him explode.

This doesn’t count as being vindictive;

It’s all about achieving clarity of thought.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t let us go; Master Wang can still be of some use.

Ling Tong’s suggestion came through the earpiece:

“I’ll try to break in. You two control the drone swarm to cover me. There’s a new device inside my mech that can resist mental interference, but I can’t be sure how well it performs.”

Red Serpent hurriedly said, “Let me do it! Tongtong, you were just injured!”

Ling Tong retorted, “My support team has already helped me with the treatment, and I am now able to resist mild psychological interference.”

“Use the extension rope, the Type II slashing armor, to tie it directly to your armor.”

The deep sea has no unnecessary words:

“As long as we get around this winding, thirty-meter-long crevice in the rock strata, we can enter the cavity and launch an anti-jamming homing missile directly.”

“Okay,” Ling Tong simply agreed.

Zheng Shiduo’s voice rang out in the commando communication channel: “I’m with Sister Tong. I’ll be in charge of launching the tactical nuclear missile, and she’ll provide cover. Any extra people can’t deploy in this terrain.”

“No problem, how long will it take you to get there?”

“It’ll be another half hour or so. I was killing bugs in another direction,” Zheng Shiduo chuckled. “It’s another day for balanced psionicists to show off their skills.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jixuan had already made his decision.

He looked up and asked, “Commander, can we send something to the front lines?”

Dongfang Zhenghong replied almost without hesitation: “Of course.”

“Alright,” Wang Jixuan sighed inwardly.

He’s been bringing out way too much stuff lately.

However, in order to protect Ling Tong… cough!

Eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, safeguarding all living beings, is an inescapable duty for righteous cultivators!

“In my past life, I focused solely on cultivation and didn’t venture down the mountain to help others. If I make up for it in this life, perhaps the power of the second heavenly tribulation can be reduced by several tens of percent.”

Zhou Zhengde asked, “What should we send?”

“this.”

Wang Jixuan took out the crystal core version of the Bagua plate he had prepared for himself from his backpack and quickly wrapped it in a black cloth.

The material of this plate is the exoskeleton of a Pteranodon, which is the best material that Wang Jixuan can currently obtain. Although its shape and size are the same as the Bagua plate worn by Ling Tong, the internal restrictions are completely different, with a pure crystal core embedded in the center.

“Please send this to Ling Tong.”

Master Wang instructed:

“I’ll deliver it to her and personally show her how to use it.”

Zhou Zhengde took the black cloth and muttered, “Just how much new technology are you hiding?”

“This is the last item.”

Wang Jixuan answered honestly:

“I’m not joking about this. I will gradually release the technological products that I can.”

Dongfang Zhenghong immediately summoned his guards.

About half an hour later.

Ling Tong obtained the 【True Bagua Plate】, removed the Bagua Plate she originally wore from her combat suit, and put on this one instead.

A few minutes later, Uncle Tai arrived at the command vehicle and brought two holographic training helmets.

Wang Jixuan asked curiously, “What is this?”

Uncle Tai explained simply: “The equipment provided to our logistics support team allows you to see Ling Tong’s helmet footage, essentially from her perspective, and also to see her condition… The commander asked me to deliver it over because she was worried you’d feel stifled if you couldn’t participate, so she wanted to give you a sense of involvement as well.”

Master Wang:…

Zhou Zhengde asked, “Then why are there two helmets?”

“Ah!” Uncle Tai laughed, “Captain Zheng asked me to bring it over after hearing about this! He said he wanted Captain Zhou to experience his perspective as well, so that Captain Zhou could feel a sense of participation!”

Every cell in Zhou Zhengde’s body was resisting: “Can I swear? Get him out of here!”

“Uh, friendly reminder: insulting him will excite him.”

“This is the command center. No idle chatter.”

Master Wang gave a brief reminder and then put on the holographic helmet with great interest.

Although Zhou Zhengde really wanted to see the first-person perspective of the battlefield, he was actually quite resistant to it.

He likes sexy women like Weina…

…

The biggest challenge facing Ling Tong and Zheng Shiduo was the winding and rugged path through the rock crevice.

They had to overcome powerful mental interference, ordinary electromagnetic interference, and attacks from the Blade Beasts to traverse the narrow terrain and enter a huge underground cavity.

That is where the young queen beetle is currently trapped.

Ling Tong and Zheng Shiduo only need to rush into the underground cavity and release the self-seeking missile equipped with a small tactical nuclear warhead to complete their mission.

Because a nuclear bomb detonates and generates a powerful electromagnetic pulse, the Ryūdō robotic arm contains too many precision components, so in a sense…

Evacuation is more dangerous than attack.

This requires synchronized coordination and full cooperation from the Deep Sea, the Crimson Serpent, and all departments on the battlefield.

Ling Tong’s calm and gentle voice came through Wang Jixuan’s headphones:

“The Blade II suit has completed its self-check and is ready to deploy.”

“Mission objective updated. Enter designated area to release tactical nuclear weapon. Both homing missiles are loaded normally.”

Wang Jixuan is currently sharing Ling Tong’s perspective and can see every movement she makes while checking her own armor.

Standard and elegant.

Zhou Zhengde frowned, wearing the holographic helmet, watching Zheng Shiduo shaking his head and swaying his hips, his face full of disgust.

“Please be aware!”

The deep sea, the elder brother, is giving pre-battle instructions:

“The current mission is not the only option. We can also increase the time spent on the operation in exchange for reducing the cost of the operation. This attack is just an attempt.”

“clear!”

“no problem!”

Zheng Shiduo let out a loud roar:

“Don’t worry, everyone! As soon as Ling Tong gets a minor scrape, a handsome guy wearing a helmet will immediately descend from the sky!”

Ling Tong said, “Please be serious during battle.”

Zheng Shiduo immediately shut up, obediently holding a thickened single-barreled launcher in his arms, with a pair of pure white wings spreading behind him.

Ling Tong’s armor was already equipped with additional missile bays. She pulled out the greatsword stuck in front of her with her left hand, and the Destruction Cannon in her right hand began to charge up in advance. The Bagua plate inside the armor had been activated.

She tentatively took two steps forward.

Buzz—

An invisible shockwave came rushing towards us!

The Bagua disc outside the combat suit shimmered brightly, and a pale blue membrane enveloped Ling Tong’s entire body, easily neutralizing these impacts.

She took a few steps forward, her movements unaffected.

The electromagnetic pulses created by the Blade Beasts are similar to the mental interference used by psionicists; they exist but are not specialized. They are abilities that the Blade Beasts evolved during their wars with humans.

In short, Ryōdō’s mechanical arm and Zanbato Type II armor are unaffected.

In the narrow passage ahead, small but powerful mid-level assassin beasts silently awaited the approach of their enemies.

Shen Haidao: “We can fight. Confirm the retreat status of each unit. Red Serpent is responsible for keeping the retreat route intact. Captain Zheng, be careful not to have your waist extension rope cut. You’re too slow.”

“Received,” Zheng Shiduo said simply. “This thing is really useful.”

“Proceed.”

Ling Tong said softly.

Wang Jixuan’s perspective:

The dark underground passage was suddenly illuminated by a bright light, and suicide drones rushed into the gaps in the solid rock ahead.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The deafening explosions were deafening.

Ling Tong and Zheng Shiduo rushed forward at the same time. Zheng Shiduo did not participate in the battle; his task was to carry things. Ling Tong was slightly faster and rushed into the crevice passage first.

Right arm devastation cannon firing!

The mandibles of both mid-level assassin beasts were pierced simultaneously!

The greatsword slashed vertically, and the blue light emanating from it surged forward, shattering the two bladed beasts that pounced from the left and right as they leaped.

Zheng Shiduo’s eyes shone with a bright green light, and fine scales grew on his skin, ready to unleash his unique skill—a taunt specifically for blade beasts.

Dozens of mid-level blade beasts surged forward at the same time, and several turns appeared in the path ahead.

Deepsea shouted, “You’re going too fast! Wait for the suicide drones to provide cover!”

Ling Tong immediately adjusted his fighting rhythm, simply swinging his greatsword, his armor’s battery was fully charged.

At the boundary of the mental interference field, Red Serpent was drilling holes and inserting high-explosive detonators into them.

At a later location, dozens of detonators had already been inserted into the joints.

Shen Hai frowned as he stood at the edge of the area, ready to rush in and rescue people at any moment.

Zheng Shiduo screamed, “Ah! That thing failed! Holy crap! This mental interference is so strong! I might not be able to hold on!”

Wang Jixuan couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

—Ti Ling Tong.

Ling Tong suddenly shouted, “Captain Zheng, go back! I can complete the mission on my own!”

“Only twelve or thirteen meters left!” Zheng Shiduo gritted his teeth and said, “I can do it!”

“Execute the command.”

“Alright, sir!”

Zheng Shiduo pulled the rope around his waist, and his body retreated rapidly. The protective suit on his body automatically deployed airbags, like a ball colliding back and forth.

Ling Tong no longer waited for the suicide drones flying from behind. All armored firepower was put into a selected state, and explosive heads filled with micro-missiles appeared on the armored shoulders, legs, and back.

Her helmet already had multiple protective and oxygen supply functions activated.

Turn the last corner!

Following Ling Tong’s perspective on Wang Jixuan, one can’t help but feel a chill run down their spine.

Ahead, there were countless mid-level basic blade beasts, their bodies filling the last section of this rock crevice passage!

The horde of bladed beasts let out shrieks almost simultaneously!

The shockwave swept towards Ling Tong.

Its sharp limbs shot towards Ling Tong.

Ling Tong gripped the greatsword in reverse with his left hand, and his armored arm guards unleashed a plasma shield!

The blue light around her kept swaying, and her eyes behind the helmet were filled with determination as she took several steps forward!

Just as the Blade Beasts finished their barrage of attacks on her limbs, most of the miniature missiles behind her shield were activated simultaneously.

Full firepower coverage!

Ling Tong’s body was enveloped in thick smoke!

The narrow passage was almost completely filled with flames! The Blade Beast Wall was riddled with holes from the explosions!

And it was at this moment!

Ling Tong’s armor unleashed a butterfly-shaped arc of light, his body crashing into the air amidst thick smoke. The Destruction Cannon in his left hand had already completed its charge and fired a Level 5 Destruction Beam forward!

As she gripped the greatsword in her right hand and accelerated forward with full force, a burst of azure light erupted forth!

The Blade Beast’s wall has collapsed!

They’re charging in!

Wang Jixuan subconsciously stood up, and the scene he saw at that moment suddenly became clear!

In the dark underground cavity, bladed beasts clung to the stone walls everywhere, creating a unique and intense sense of dread when viewed through night vision goggles.

A unique bladed beast, eight meters long and resembling a caterpillar with all its legs and limbs degenerated, is currently at the very bottom of the cavity.

It was surrounded by hundreds of mid-level bladed beasts that constantly slashed at the solid rock with their bladed limbs.

Just then, green orbs of light burst forth from all directions, shooting towards Ling Tong!

Ling Tong remained calm and unhurried. The left and right ammunition compartments on the back of the blade armor opened simultaneously, and two missiles, each as thick as an adult’s arm, flew away with their tail flames, locking onto the life fluctuations, shape images, and crystal core spiritual energy fluctuations of the young queen insect, spiraling down in the cavity.

The rope hanging from the waist of the Lingtong Armor suddenly tugged!

She was pulled backward and flew rapidly, dodging a wave of light bullets. Taking advantage of the momentum, she turned around and used all her strength to control the thrusters on the back of her armor, activating the anti-collision shield to its maximum.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

Deep Sea kept shouting. He had already carried Zheng Shiduo on his back and was waiting with Red Serpent at the end of the straight passage, nervously watching the entrance to the crevice.

Ling Tong stumbled and rushed out.

Red Serpent and Deep Sea simultaneously activated the propulsion devices on the back of their mechs. After Ling Tong arrived, the two grabbed Ling Tong’s mechanical arms from the left and right, and the three-meter-high armor burst out with even stronger thrust.

boom!

At that moment, an explosion occurred behind them, directly destroying the passageway.

But that’s far from enough.

As they sped away, the roads they passed collapsed one after another.

This is the best barrier against the energy of a nuclear explosion in the rock strata!

“Gurgle—”

Wang Jixuan suddenly heard a mournful cry.

He sensed a powerful energy being released underground, the desert strata awaiting the impact of this energy.

But the solid earth, the rocky crust of this planet, did not give much response to this tickling impact, only causing the ground in the nearby area to tremble slightly a few times.

Sizzle!

“Mission complete. Our team has withdrawn. Equipment is damaged and requires maintenance,” Ling Tong’s voice rang out. “Please confirm the target’s survival status.”

“Good!” Dongfang Zhenghong shouted, clenching his fist, which triggered a burst of cheers inside the car.

Wang Jixuan took off the now-malfunctioning holographic helmet and was about to respond to Zhou Zhengde, who was clenching his fist and growling excitedly, when he suddenly frowned.

He and Wu Man closed their eyes at the same time.

This time, there was no cooing sound like a pigeon, but they both saw at the same time a huge vertical pupil slowly rise from the ground, staring at them…

No, not staring at them.

Instead, he stared in that direction, staring at the area behind the command vehicle… where Fortress 76 was located.

The vertical pupils slowly dissipated as they rose, releasing streams of pure spiritual energy into the earth.

At this moment, Wang Jixuan and Wu Man both had a sudden realization: it was the spiritual will conveyed by the young king insect. This will was very simple; in human terms, it could be summed up in just four words.

【aborted】.

【wipe out】.

Suspend? Suspend what? And what do you want to eliminate?

Suddenly, it was as if lightning had struck Wang Jixuan. He looked up sharply and suddenly understood a problem that had been troubling him for a long time.

Fortress 76 has a higher spiritual energy concentration in the lower city than in the upper city, and the concentration increases further down the city!

The Blackfire Gang once conducted experiments on cultivating Blade Beast organs for Professor Zhuang, producing a large number of Blade Beast organs, which were then supplied to the Wanlijin Gang as the soil for their formula!

The Blade Beasts that attacked the mine came from nowhere and had no markings, so they didn’t seem to be the Blade Beast herd from the border!

There’s also what Ling Tong mentioned… There must be a nest in the Sari Desert. The first task of the young king worms is to build a new colony. This is a common trick used by the blade beast horde to break through human defenses. Their task later is to find this nest and destroy it…

If, if this nest is in…

‘Gurgle—’

‘Gurgle—’

‘Gurgle—’

Several much weaker sounds appeared simultaneously, the second-level insects, not yet fully developed, in relatively fixed positions, responding to the final command of the young queen insects.

Stop breeding;

To exterminate humanity.

Wang Jixuan clenched his fists instinctively and rushed to Dongfang Zhenghong in two steps.

“listen to me!”

…
