The insects hid for several days, and John arranged for people to observe the movement of the insect swarm every day, because there was a Mick in the team, so the work became very easy, and he could grasp the general situation of the insect swarm without even having to go out of the hole.

The situation on Buha Island was similar to John's expectations, the swarm took over the whole island, and passed the whole island through a sieve from top to bottom, above and under the trees, in the earth caves and craters, wherever there were people to hide.

The cave where the Zerg is hiding is also within the search range of the Bug Swarm, and many people want Mick to fool the Bug Swarm with pheromones, but this idea is blocked by Carter, his opinion is very clear, it doesn't matter how many giant bugs come, let them see if they want, as long as there are no Bugmen.

The worms who have survived until now are not short of brains, and they immediately understood what Dr. Carter meant.

Wormmen don't have brains at all, they can only understand the simplest commands, and their simple brains may be able to distinguish between humans and wormmen, but they definitely can't recognize the difference between these wormmen in the cave and the wormmen they usually see.

Bugs never rely on their eyesight to argue with their foes, they rely on pheromones!

To put it more easily enough, bugs, like dogs, rely on their sense of smell.

It's just that they don't smell in the usual sense, but pheromones, which are special chemicals.

"We all have to thank Mick!"

During the time he was trapped in the cave, John said this several times, and the others strongly agreed.

Indeed, without Mick, everyone would not be able to escape the pursuit of the swarm, and more importantly, Mick used his special ability to seduce several giant insects in estrus, and several soldiers and insects worked together to drag the giant insects into the dark river and slaughter them, using insect meat as rations, so that everyone could fill their stomachs.

As for whether doing so will attract the attention of aliens...... Don't be kidding, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 giant insects on the island, and the insects don't know how to count and don't know by name, where do you know if there are fewer insects?

The wormmen are not much better, they don't even know how many worms there are, let alone the number of giant worms.

This is a huge loophole that is being exploited by John and others.

After four full days, the insect swarm that occupied Buha Island finally left, leaving only more than 100 giant insects to guard the island.

John had more than sixty people here, and with Mick's cover, they killed more than a hundred giant insects as if they were playing.

But John didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, so he suppressed the idea of killing the giant worm, and on a starry night, he led the wormmen to send the sailing yacht into the sea, and everyone left Bucha Island by boat.

There were many people on the ship, not only was the cabin stuffed with wormmen, but there were also a dozen or so on the deck.

The yacht space is not small, and it is not a problem to fit more than 60 insects, but you must prepare food and water when you go to sea, and these things take up a lot of space, and the result is that more than a dozen insects can't enter the cabin, so they can only stay on the deck.

Fortunately, the temperature here is not bad, and it is okay to stay on deck.

After leaving Buha Island, Carter found an opportunity to intercept John: "John, if I remember correctly, you first went to Calidan, right?" ”

"Yes." John nodded, "I think it's a perfect place for us." ”

"Where is it?" Carter obviously disagreed, "It's the territory of the Northern Capital, shouldn't we stay away from them?" ”

The space on the sailboat was small, and many nearby insects heard the conversation between the two, and many of them immediately agreed, thinking that Calidan was not a good target.

Carter added, "I don't want to question your decision, but I want to know why you chose Calidan. ”

"Okay doctor, let me explain." John spread his hands helplessly, "The reason why I chose Calidan is because there is a garrison in the northern capital there!" ”

The insects were in an uproar, it was a matter of life and death for everyone, and no matter how high John's prestige was, he couldn't stop everyone's doubts.

John pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and the chatter gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes were on John.

John said calmly: "I know, you think that we just escaped from the hands of the Northern Capital, why did we come to the Northern Capital again, but do you think I want to do this? I'm doing this for the sake of our collective! ”

These words were so strange that everyone shouted again, and the last voice overshadowed everyone: "I don't understand, how is this for all of us?" ”

John said: "It's very simple, we have too few people, we are not the opponent of the aliens at all, we can only rely on Mick's special ability to deceive the swarm, we can't even deceive the insects, continue to stay on Buha Island, or any place occupied by aliens, we have to face the swarm, the insects and even aliens, we only have such a few people, it is not enough to stuff the aliens' teeth, if the aliens find out that something is wrong, all of us will die!" ”

"Are you going to take the initiative to join the Northern Capital and let them lock us up again?"

John nodded honestly: "I do have this idea, but—this is the last, the cornered, the last resort, you know what I mean?" ”

Carter pondered: "You mean, this is the last retreat?" ”

"yes, that's what it means." Speaking of this, John let out a long sigh, "There are only more than sixty of us, although we are all strong, but we are really too few people, I am worried, worried about whether we can survive on our own, so we must leave a way back...... I think the Northern Capital is a very good choice, what do you say? ”

You look at me, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks.

In fact, everyone has an optimal answer in their hearts, and some people have the same answer as John, but more often than not, it is completely different.

It's just that people have a herd mentality, John first said an answer, and others just have other ideas, and they will only think that they are a minority, and they dare or are unwilling to say their thoughts.

After a while, Carter spoke again: "So what are you going to do?" After landing in Calidan, I immediately contacted the northern capital, and it was still ......"

"Of course you can't do that!" John said, "I'm fed up with house arrest, and I don't want to have anything to do with the North unless it's life-threatening!" ”

"And what are you going to do?" Carter asked again.

John said, "My plan is this, let's find a random place to land...... Because there are satellites in the north, we have to go into the jungle and hide immediately after landing...... Carlos, if I'm not mistaken, there aren't many garrisons in the northern capital of Karidan, are they? ”

"That's right!" "Their men are on the west bank of Calidan, in the rail elevator...... But Phil heard the news, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
