In the early morning, Haiwen Star has a pale blue sky, and if it weren't for the smoke in the air, it would have been a beautiful sight.

The night before, the sleeping Morning Star was awakened by an alarm in the vault. The ensuing gunfire made Morning Star rush to the city wall. Although Morningstar has also experienced a few battles, he has never set foot on a real battlefield, let alone a battlefield to fight against insects. The overwhelming sea of insects rushed from afar, and the walls of the city were full of flames, causing a lot of damage to the insects on the ground. But those bugs didn't seem to feel pain, only the desire to charge.

At this moment, Morning Star was standing outside the walls of the shelter, and the jumping insects that had been blown away from their limbs were still wriggling towards the city walls. Quinn beside him frowned even more, not knowing what he was thinking. Just like Morningstar and Quinn's guess, the insect genes on their bodies make these insects not hostile to the two. But Quinn was still unable to gain control of the insect at such a close distance, which made Quinn fall into deep thought.

Behind them, the defenders were hurrying to repair the gap, which had been broken through by these insects in the battle the night before. An Alliance soldier next to Morning Star handed Morning Star a cigarette, and after being rejected by Morning Star, he was not displeased, he lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and then exhaled it, and the white smoke disappeared into the air as if the pressure in the warrior's heart was the bearer. In between his cigarettes, Morningstar asked, "Is this kind of attack every day?" The warrior looked at Morningstar in some surprise and saw that the other party was not joking with him, and replied, "If it were every day, you wouldn't see us guys." Basically, once every half a month, no more than three days before and after, you are very lucky, and you met it on the first night of arrival. After that, he took a few more puffs, and then threw the cigarette butt that was about to burn out on the ground and crushed it fiercely. Then he raised the weapon in his hand and shot at the worm that was still wriggling, ending his life.

The repair work on the walls took about two days to complete, and during these two days, Shiraishi sent three groups of warriors to sweep the outer walls of the walls to prevent the insects hidden in the pile of corpses that had not yet died suddenly erupted and attacked the workers. This had happened before, and the person who was attacked was a respected engineer in the team at the time.

In the gap between the battles the night before, Morningstar and Shiraishi talked a lot. From the chat, Morning Star learned that this old man was already in his seventies Gao Ling, which in the human army had reached the age where he could take a back seat and retire for the rest of his life, and Shiraishi was still fighting on the front line, which made Morning Star have great respect for this old man. During the conversation, Morningstar also learned that the Alliance's Third Fleet was not as bad as the outside legends suggested. The fighters in the Third Fleet can basically be divided into two kinds, one is the person who is born with a tendency to commit violent crimes, and the energy emitted by the evil cells around him has nowhere to vent, and the kind of person who will sooner or later hurt others if he stays in human society, and who is confirmed to be unable to be placed after being diagnosed by the Alliance's mental evaluation agency. The other is to offend the powerful, or to run into the thorn in the head of the commander of the previous unit, and refuse to bow his head and admit his mistake after committing something, and was assigned to the Third Fleet. And this kind of person, although he will also carry out the order of slaughter, is not proud of it, but has a deep sense of guilt. And Shiraishi also belongs to this kind. Morningstar asked Shiraishi why he didn't break away from this system, and at his age, if he applied for retirement or relegated to the second line, he would definitely be approved. Shiraishi's answer sent Morningstar deep in thought. Shiraishi's exact words were: "There are some things that have to be done, and since you are already bloody and notorious, why bother trying to retreat bravely." Instead of spending the rest of your life in self-blame, it is better to continue to fight on the front line so that those whose hearts have not yet been infected will avoid falling. One more day of work is equivalent to saving one more person. One day he goes to hell, maybe Satan will also see this and lower the temperature of the oil pan. ”

After staying from midnight until dawn, when the situation had stabilized, Morning Star also felt that he was not needed on the city walls. Although he did not personally participate in the battle last night, as a reserve force, Morning Star also tensed his nerves all night. Shiraishi went back to rest after the battle, and now he could no longer fight with the soldiers as he did when he was younger, and he had no problem sleeping for a few days. As the commander of the unit, he has a more important task and it is important to maintain full energy.

Returning to the city walls, the morning star looked at a figure sweeping across the battlefield in the distance. This burly man, who was half a head taller than Morning Star, was the only son of Shiraishi, named Bai Baiyi. According to Shiraishi, his son is also a bull temper, when he was in his early twenties, he couldn't get used to seeing the son of his boss bullying men and women, so he directly beat that Yanai half to death. In the end, he was sent to the Third Fleet, where he stayed for more than ten years. Bai Yi, who is now nearly forty years old, still hasn't started a family, which makes Baishi extremely worried. But Bai Shi, who has always had a son, even if he is worried about himself, refuses to blame this son for half a sentence. Bai Yi is also a true man, although his father's love is a little spoiled, but he has never become arrogant and arrogant because of this love, he is self-disciplined as a soldier, brave in battle, excellent in skills, and the spear passed down from Baishi in one hand is used to make a tiger, quite a feeling of a martial arts master. Morning Star had said to Bai Yiyi the night before that he wanted to find a time to talk to the other party, but the other party seemed to be more looking forward to it than Morning Star, and the heavy slap made Morning Star's shoulder ache faintly.

It's not that Morning Star has shown his strength in the Vault that makes Bai Yi interested, the real reason is that Bai Yi has seen Morning Star's influence on Alpha 137. Morning Star didn't know how Bai Yi got that image, and it didn't match it in terms of time. Maybe it was because Haven wasn't in as bad shape as it is now? But it doesn't matter anymore.

After greeting the person in charge of the city wall, Morningstar and Quinn walked hand in hand towards the resting place. Just like ordinary lovers, both parties should talk to each other sweetly at this moment. But in reality, the two were discussing the topic of the insect attack the night before.

From the conversation between the two, Morning Star learned that the insects that attacked the night before were indeed a normal race. But what is not normal is that Quinn is unable to communicate with them, as if it is a signal shield, and Quinn's thoughts cannot be conveyed to them. This is not a known way for any of the higher intelligence insects to control ordinary insect swarms, if these insects are controlled by another insect queen like Quinn, Quinn should be able to contact the other party's queen through them, and ideally, rely on strong mental power to forcibly seize control and make it his own subordinate. But Quinn has tried all of this, but nothing has come of it, and her contact with the insect is blocked. Therefore, Quinn also judged that the leader behind this alien insect army did not belong to the alien insect group.

Morningstar is also very much in favor of Quinn's judgment, having witnessed her performance on Alpha 137, and is also deeply aware of Quinn's control over insects. And the current situation is that Quinn can't control these rampaging and murderous guys, which makes Morningstar no longer have a good mood in front of Layton.

The two of them whispered all the way to the common room. Unexpectedly, the lounge was empty, and Norin Hill, who was supposed to sleep in the next room, was nowhere to be seen. The room was a little messy, which was completely out of the way Norin Hill was used to. This starry sky elf with a holy aura is also extremely self-disciplined in daily life, throwing the quilt on the ground at will like now, the door is not closed, and even more so he has not changed his clothes, this situation will never appear in Norin Hill.

After searching around, Morningstar determines that Norin Hill has been kidnapped. When he was annoyed, Quinn also sent a communicator, which confirmed Morningstar's judgment even more.

The wait is boring, not to mention the kidnapping of relatives and friends. For the first time, Morningstar felt so helpless, and if it weren't for Quinn's comfort, Morningstar might have gone berserk, summoning to turn this shelter upside down.

But the wait didn't last long, and less than an hour later, the communicator rang. Morning Star, who was still sitting on the sofa and his head was about to drop between his legs, instantly came to his senses, and eagerly picked up the communicator and connected it.

With a black line on his face, Nolyn Hill's unskilled lingua franca came from the other end of the communicator. Morningstar was furious when he heard this, and the one he was wrong about was Norin Hill who ran out on his own and didn't tell everyone. Norin Hill, who was reprimanded by Morning Star on the side, looked innocent and just listened quietly. Although Morningstar was reprimanding her, the deep worry made Norin Hill feel safe. Finally, when Morningstar's mood calmed down, Nolyn Hill had a chance to speak.

……

Morningstar followed Norin Hill's instructions and made his way to a nondescript house at the very edge of the vault. When I opened the door, there were six men in military uniforms lying in the room, except for one who was still moaning in pain, and the other five were already lying on the ground, unconscious.

Seeing that Norin Hill was safe and sound, Morning Star rushed to her side, completely ignoring the difference between men and women with both hands, and checked Norin Hill up and down, and finally exhaled and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't ask you the reason first." Who are these guys who kidnapped you? ”

Norin Hill blushed from Morning Star's movements, and there was no special feeling that his body was touched by Morning Star's hand, but the pointed ears being caressed by Morning Star made this starry sky elf a little surprised. In Norin Hill's tribe, only parents and lovers can touch the ears of female elves, otherwise they will not die. Although he knew that there was a difference in race and knew that Morningstar was unintentional under his worries, the fact that it had happened still made Norin Hill blush, but the unusually shy Norin Hill still answered Morningstar's question.

Morningstar was a little angry when he heard this, although he knew that the words of sin were not binding on these thugs, but such a thing happened to him, and Morningstar felt that it was necessary to make them suffer a little. Drawing the short knife from his combat suit, Morningstar stabbed the only awake thug in the leg without saying a word, not responding to the other party's cries of pain, followed by a second knife, a third knife, and only stopped until the opponent's thigh was no longer a good piece of meat. Such an indifferent display had already frightened the thugs on the ground, shouting and saying everything, but it still had no effect.

Dropping the knife in his hand, Morning Star's voice became even more indifferent, and said, "I don't expect you to tell me the real reason, after all, there are five people here, and they have just fainted, and I have enough time and opportunity to get the right answer." ”

"Spare your life, I said, yes, it was Master Pike who instructed us to do it!"
