Chapter 654 - As Long as There Is Food

One thing that is very irregular about these insects is that their eggs are the same size as fine sand and gravel, which is very inconsistent with their size.

Although they can be seen with the naked eye, the size of the eggs is very different from the body of the insect.

Moreover, it is not easy to distinguish in the soil, and the survival rate of the eggs reaches 100%.

In addition, once the eggs hatch into larvae, as long as there is food, they can grow into adults by eating continuously within a day.

This speed is really terrifying.

From such a small egg, which is almost negligible compared to their mecha, it grows into a guy bigger than their mecha in one day. How did this happen!

Biologists have not found the answer to this question, so they have not been able to eliminate this kind of insect in other ways.

In the short term, this problem will be the biggest trouble for biologists and a disaster for the alliance.

…

Zhang Xiaoxiang retreated to a safe place, patted his chest in the mecha, and wiped the non-existent sweat stains on his forehead, thinking in his heart that if he hadn't acted quickly, he probably wouldn't be able to go back safely today.

At least he would be injured.

If he was only injured, it would be fine. But being targeted by the insect's eggs would be terrible.

When the insect attacked Zhang Xiaoxiang, Bu Hete took advantage of the fact that the insect's attention was not on him and wanted to launch a silent sneak attack.

The attack was successful.

He dealt a heavy blow to the insect.

But he did not kill the insect completely.

When he wanted to do it again, the insect seemed to have opened all the organs in its body that could sense external information, and Bu Hete failed repeatedly.

The insect seemed to have eyes in every part of his body, and his mecha could be captured by it even in invisible state.

You know, the most sensitive starship system takes several seconds to detect his trace.

But the insect's recognition system only took three seconds to determine his position.

While staring at Zhang Xiaoxiang, he attacked him with the other pincer.

He did not fall in either direction.

Buhete decided to change his strategy. He communicated with Zhang Xiaoxiang and asked him to go to the mid-air position with weapons ready at any time. He would provoke the insects, and then Zhang Xiaoxiang would use instruments to determine the storage location of their mental power.

The storage location of consciousness of each insect is not exactly the same. Only the one in the head is the same, and the other locations are random.

So every time they fight, they have to find the consciousness storage area again, which undoubtedly increases their fighting speed.

Zhang Xiaoxiang also knows that this is the fastest method at present. As for why it is not him who fights Buhete and shoots.

First, he does not trust Buhete. Second, the battles in the past few days have made Zhang Xiaoxiang see his own shortcomings and need to learn something from Buhete.

In this way, after returning to the base, he can challenge Buhete to win.

Zhang Xiaoxiang did not refute, but took off obediently, using the intelligent system of the mecha to lock the insect, and once its consciousness storage area is found, it will be destroyed.

In this battle, Buhete and Zhang Xiaoxiang spent more than four hours to kill a king insect.

In the first two days, they could basically kill one in an hour, which was too time-consuming.

By the time they killed a king insect, the new insect had grown into an adult.

After that, there were endless insects to kill.

They were trapped in a vicious circle.

Because the eggs on their bodies would hatch quickly after the mother died.

These young would eat the mother's flesh and blood, and then they would grow to the size of a ball in an instant like a balloon.

This speed made everyone feel terrified.

The mother's size was so big that it was enough for them to grow.

After seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaoxiang's scalp was a little numb. This task was more difficult than he thought, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to get it done.

Other teams were not much better. All teams were frustrated in the third day's task.

Everyone reported this problem, and the strength of the insects had unpredictable variables.

Even Wang Zichun himself could not completely kill the insects within an hour.

In this way, it would be too time-consuming and physically demanding. They could not let the insects have the opportunity to eat and grow, otherwise, more king insects would appear.

We must kill this batch of bugs faster and clean up the eggs they left behind.

Wang Zichun consulted Qing Zhixun and decided to relocate the citizens here, and then lead the bugs to one place and blow them up.

After the bugs are dead, send ground troops to clean the soil, disinfect, etc.

As long as there is no food source, these bugs cannot grow too fast.

It is best to let them fight on their own.

But this time, the bugs will no longer eat their own kind after they grow up.

This is very magical!

The juveniles rely on the mother to grow, but the adults must eat other carbon-based life.

Bugs can't dive, otherwise the creatures in the sea will probably not be spared.

Qing Zhixun asked Wang Zichun to deal with it immediately, and asked him to make sure it was safe before letting the citizens return to the ground to live.

Wang Zichun arranged several groups to relocate citizens with the Alliance Guards. The Alliance has regulations that the transfer must ensure the absolute safety of citizens.

Moreover, unless it is absolutely necessary, you cannot fight at the cost of destroying the planet.

This situation may continue for several days, so the transfer is necessary.

As a result, the citizens of this planet were temporarily transferred to an isolated area in the starry sky, where professionals would deal with their health problems.

We need to make sure that there are no sleeping insect eggs on their bodies, so that it will be safe for them to return to the ground.

Wang Zichun and the alliance guards who have arrived here transferred the citizens together. Zhang Xiaoxiang has no mission for the time being, so he took the initiative to greet the children of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family members were very surprised that he would take the initiative to talk to them, because in their concept, the identity of illegitimate children is actually very embarrassing.

However, they decided to see what Zhang Xiaoxiang meant before making other decisions.

After all, no one wants to become cannon fodder for no reason.

They came here with a purpose, and everyone has a mission.

They did not ask what Zhang Xiaoxiang's mission was. Originally, they planned to go to the two sides of the avenue and have nothing to do with each other, but if he could take the initiative to contact them, they would not refuse.

After all, it would be easier to fight together at present, and it would be too strenuous to fight alone.

Everyone's mission is different, but the purpose should be the same.

Zhang Xiaoxiang got their mission from these people, and he was thoughtful. He did not expect that the appetite of the Zhang family was getting bigger and bigger.

Not only does he want to enter the Elders Council, but if possible, he also wants to take down both the Elders Council and the Supreme Commander.

However, this is exciting enough.

Zhang Xiaoxiang's mind suddenly became active, and he thought of his partner Kuang Biru.
