Although I don't know what the lights and sounds represent, the rapid and high-pitched sound is not something to look forward to when you hear it, and the blood-red lights are flashing non-stop, even if someone says that it is a signal that it means that nothing is safe, no one will believe it.

The bugs are here again.

This was the first guess that rose in everyone's minds.

"Tsk, what an uninteresting bug. The high-level mercenaries who were messing around stiffened, Xiuer sighed softly, and made a soothing gesture to everyone in the restaurant, "Don't worry, you continue to eat, the soldiers of the mercenary group stay here to protect the civilians, don't be too nervous, this place should be safe, you just need to pay more attention, you don't need to enter the alert state." Fleison, you shouldn't be interested, Yuri, I guess you don't want to go out again after rehydration, you two stay and take care of it, and the others will go to the control room with me. ”

"Do you want to listen to those unintelligible words again?" Duck pulled out of nowhere, and the blood-colored rose appeared on his fingertips, "Actually, you can let me and the beautiful Miss Seve stay, the two of us are better suited to protect civilians." ”

The female swordsman looked at Shuer, then at Dark, and quietly moved a few steps to hide behind Shuer, avoiding Dark's gaze.

"Snort, the scum of combat effectiveness is only in the single digits. Thumbs down to show full disdain, Shul took Saf's hand like a victor, and led a few people away, while a certain loser could only follow with his head down, muttering that I will be angry with you when I go out.

Hurried back to the control room, as soon as he entered the door, the phantom of the woman in the previous military uniform appeared on the platform again, the same heel knock on the right hand in front of the chest, the same language that he didn't understand at all.

Shuer nodded casually, pointing to the alarm that was still hissing, the corners of Dark's mouth twitched slightly, this is a necessary skill for people in high positions, without saying anything, with just a few simple gestures, his subordinates can understand the intentions of their superiors.

Sure enough, even if it was just a phantom, or just an automatic control system, the logical judgment ability of the uniformed woman was also very high, and she immediately recognized the meaning of Shuer, the piercing alarm immediately stopped, the lights in the control room dimmed, and there was light on the surrounding platforms, and the light converged to the center, and then, a three-dimensional image unfolded in front of everyone, everyone seemed to be looking down at the ground from a high altitude, every piece of soil in the image, every insect was very realistic, looking at the insect with teeth and claws, as if it could pounce on itself at any time。

In addition to the realistic stereoscopic image, behind the woman in military uniform, a topographic map unfolds in the air, and there are various marks circled on the topographic map, although I don't understand the meaning of those marks, but at least you can understand the general situation of the surroundings.

Seeing the phantom on display, several mercenaries couldn't help but take a breath.

Looking down at the ground, judging by the size of the bugs, at least at an altitude of 100 meters, each of the bugs that had fought before became only the size of a fist. The dense insect tide covered the purple fungus blanket and occupied all the ground, and in the distance, the entire open plain was already covered with hideous insects, and even if you climbed up and looked at it, you could not see the edge of the insect tide. 100,000 or 1 million? Forget it, the mercenaries have given up the estimate, and the number has lost its meaning at this point, as long as it is endless.

What's even more terrifying is that these insects are not stationary or wandering around, they are moving in the same direction, almost like marching, especially when the insect swarm leaves the range of the fungus blanket, they form a queue tens or even hundreds of meters wide, like a river flowing along the river, turning into a rolling torrent and heading in a fixed direction.

Where are they going? They're not coming towards us.

That's something everyone is worried about.

The swarm of this size was beyond the imagination of the mercenaries, it was like a nightmare that they could not wake up to, and the mercenaries looked at each other and showed a wry smile. Yes, the number of insect swarms is completely out of control, if you are trapped in the insect swarm, even if you are a powerful gold-level powerhouse, no matter how long you can support it, the final outcome can only be exhausted and divided by the insect swarm.

"Tsk. Xiuer smacked his tongue, pointed to the map image behind the woman in military uniform with a straight face, originally just wanted her to mark the path of the insect swarm on the map, but I didn't expect the women in military uniforms to do better, the stereoscopic image immediately dimmed, becoming nothing, and the map was enlarged in front of everyone, on the map, more than a dozen hollow arrows converged from a distance to one place, which is estimated to represent the path of the insect swarm, and a solid arrow pointed to the southwest of the map in a zigzag manner, which should indicate the direction of the torrent composed of insects.

"Hmm...... There are no markers on the path of the swarm, so it shouldn't be heading towards us. "Military maps are complex and difficult to understand in the eyes of the layman, but simple in the eyes of the insider, even if they are not military maps of the same world. Shur stared at the map for a long time, nodded thoughtfully, beckoned to the women in military uniforms, pointed to the ground, and pointed to his own people.

The automaton is quite good at understanding, and an aperture immediately appears on the map, where there is indeed a mark made of unknown letters, which should represent the fortress where everyone lives.

"Sure enough, it's not coming towards us, Mia, Miriday, you two go and inform them, the alarm is lifted, rest in place, you can go to the recreation room, where it is more comfortable to sit than the restaurant, and you can also use the bathroom, but no matter how strong the fighters are, at least three people, no matter how many ordinary people, at least two mercenaries must be accompanied. Tell them to remember that not only bathing, but all actions in the camp follow the above principles, and the number of high-level mercenaries in the same group can be reduced to two, and violators will be responsible for the consequences. ”

Shuer spoke lightly, as if he could really relax, but now no one could laugh. It's true that maybe the bugs aren't coming at you this time, but what about the future? Moreover, no matter who the bugs are targeting, their scale is real, everyone's goal is to leave this hellish projection world alive, and to leave with a group of ordinary people, with this group of terrible creatures around, how can it be possible?

"Since the command has been handed over to me, then I say don't worry, you don't need to worry. Shuer's smile was faint, as if everything was under control, "Heh, it's just a bunch of brainless bugs, no matter how many there are, there's nothing to worry about." Dark, Moria, you two should go along, the battle with the mutant spider mother consumes a lot of money, rest more so that you can recover early. Saph and I will observe the movement of the bugs again, and we will go back in a moment. By the way, Mia, you can arrange a room for the night, the fortress is always under the control of the automatic system, there should be no problem, but it is better to check each room. ”

"Eh, am I going back too?" said Moria, reluctantly, "these bugs are interesting, and I want to see them." ”

"Uh......" Xiu'er obviously wanted to break everyone apart, but Moria was even more obvious that he didn't plan to cooperate, and if it was someone else, he could still give a forcible order, but Lin Jing ...... Forget it, "You can do whatever you want." ”

"Huh. Mia smiled meaningfully, as if she saw through Shul's concerns, but in the end she didn't say anything, and the three of them turned to leave, leaving Shul and Safmoria in the control room.

"Whew, @#. Shur uttered a syllable of unknown meaning, and the apparition of the woman in military uniform stepped forward and gave Shure a military salute again.

"Sure enough, it's a name, tsk, the pronunciation rules are not much different. Shul nodded to himself, gesturing to the dim stereoscopic image around him. The image immediately lights up again, clearer and more realistic than it was at the beginning, no different from being there.

"Why do you want to drive everyone away?" Xiu'er was tapping his thighs, looking at the rolling insects in a daze, but he didn't expect Lin Jing's tone to become more serious than ever, "Is there anything that must be hidden?"

"Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness, and it is better for one or two people to bear the pressure than for everyone to bear the pressure together, and the pressure is not reduced because someone shares it. Shuer replied casually, suddenly his face turned pale, and he shouted the name of the woman in military uniform, pointing his finger to a point in the insect tide.

It was another unexpected joy, I just wanted to make the stereoscopic image more obvious, but I didn't expect that the image of the finger position actually changed several times in a row, at least ten times magnified, and the swarm could already be seen really.

"For example, it's better to have fewer people see this kind of stressful thing, and once the pressure is too high, it's not strange to do anything strange. ”

Shure was referring to a bug, a huge bug. When looking down from a high altitude, it is easy to ignore its existence due to the interference of the surrounding insect swarm, but after magnifying it more than ten times, it is very conspicuous.

It was a giant beetle, judging by the proportions of the size of the surrounding insects, at least five meters long and three meters high, on both sides of the mouthparts in front of the head, two one-meter-long sharp fangs were bent inward, the tips of the fangs were shining, and they opened and closed unconsciously. The beetle's wings have degenerated, turning into thickened armor, the carapace of the whole body is black and shiny, and the movement depends on the thick legs under the body, six short legs, can actually keep up with the speed of other small insects, and even have room for it, once such a body sprints with all its strength, with sharp fangs, it is simply more powerful than the heavy mountain chariot that the Mountain Empire is proud of.

"Oh, that's right. Moria shot out like lightning and stabbed the phantom of the giant beetle with a spear, of course, it would not have any effect on the phantom, but Lin Jing still maintained the action of stabbing, "It turns out that you are not willing to give even a little trust to your companions who are fighting side by side. ”

Xiu'er slapped his thigh, his once holy expression became gloomy, he turned his head little by little, stared coldly at Lin Jing as if nothing had happened, and his right hand had slowly grasped the mace.

Lin Jing in the form of an elf didn't seem to notice Xiu'er's anger, shook his ears, and pointed to the three-dimensional image with an excited face: "Yo yo, this insect was knocked down by his companions behind, and he thought there was an enemy, and he was intimidating with his teeth and claws, hahaha, he was just a fool." ”
