Chapter 723 - Insects Have Wisdom

Seven hours later, after a total of eleven hours of sailing, the four starships that went out to perform the mission this time stopped steadily at the star port of the base.

It was afternoon at the base time.

The soldiers returned to the ground in batches.

The East District Office had sent a message, asking the soldiers to go back to the dormitory to rest first, and then to hold a meeting on the star network tomorrow morning.

Xi Xiu and several other captains also received Qing Zhixun's message.

Let them go back and rest first.

The report will be left until after the general meeting tomorrow.

This mission was particularly hard, and Qing Zhixun had learned about it from other channels.

They were also dealing with things on the way back, and there was no time to rest.

Moreover, reporting after returning was not a job that needed to be done immediately.

Let them have a full rest, and the next thing may be a bit heavy for everyone.

The returning soldiers returned to the dormitory silently, and there was no joy on the way back from the previous mission.

They summoned the hovercraft directly at the parking location, returned to their dormitory building, and then used the transmission device again, without communicating with the people around them throughout the whole process.

Because I don't know what to say...

Qing Zhixun met with the heads of the other three districts.

Two days later, they will hold a farewell ceremony for the soldiers who died in this mission.

The bodies of the soldiers will be sent back to their hometowns by special people after the ceremony.

...

Lin Zaiqin, the chief of the West District, has received the news of Xisese's death as soon as possible.

He didn't say much, but asked people to repair Xisese's terminal that was not completely destroyed.

His combat data was passed to him.

At this moment, he and his adjutant were watching Xisese's battle.

"Philite, this insect obviously has wisdom." Lin Zaiqin has been staring at the compound eyes of the king insect, and always feels that the purple light flashing in the eyes is a bit weird.

Philite took a closer look, "It looks like something is wrong."

Judging from the data after the insect outbreak, this kind of insect will evolve new skills every time it appears.

However, it is still not flexible overall, because its body is huge and it seems very clumsy.

However, it is actually a far-fetched thing to say that they are intelligent.

After seeing the video, Lin Zaiqin was a little uncertain.

He contacted Marcel, the chief of the South District, and told him his guess.

He also forwarded Marcel the video of the battle of Siseth.

Marcel watched it carefully. He broke down every action of the insect, and after reassembling it at 9 times the speed, he agreed with Lin Zaiqin's point of view.

This also made him and Lin Zaiqin sweat coldly.

In this battle of Siseth, even if they went out by themselves, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

The judgment of the insect was too accurate.

It was done in one go, without giving Siseth a chance to breathe.

Logically, from the time when the insect broke the shell of the mecha to the time when Siseth was caught, Siseth had a chance to escape.

But the adult insect blocked his way.

This is because the insect has a sense of group battle.

Although the king insect can indeed command the adult insect, it cannot command so clearly.

It cannot be clear to the specific direction.

The adult insects formed a circle, and Siseth could not successfully leave from any direction.

Moreover, after breaking the mecha, the pincers of the king bug found the position of Xisai with great accuracy.

This action was as fast as lightning.

"Lin, I'm sorry." Marcel knew that Xisai was Lin Zaiqin's right-hand man.

Lin Zaiqin did not reply to Marcel. He was standing in front of the window of his office at this moment, and the whole West District appeared in his field of vision.

He and Xisai were comrades-in-arms and classmates.

The two came from the same galaxy.

They have been together since entering the military academy.

They all knew that if they took this road, there would definitely be sacrifices.

Lin Zaiqin just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Filite left him alone.

At this time, let the commander stay alone for a few minutes.

It was not until the soldiers who went out on a mission returned to the port that Lin Zaiqin regained his usual complexion.

Although he never had a good smile, he was generally a good talker.

However, the soldiers in the West District were afraid of his gloomy and silent appearance.

Fortunately, the rain has temporarily passed.

…

After the soldiers who returned to the port took disinfection and other measures in the air, they took the hovercraft of the base back to the ground.

They went straight back to their dormitory to rest.

At this time, Lin Zaiqin came to the East District.

He sent a message to Qing Zhixun in advance, and came to discuss the farewell ceremony for the fallen soldiers.

And by the way, relax.

Qing Sansui was waiting downstairs in the office building early.

After seeing Lin Zaiqin, Qing Sansui stepped forward and greeted him politely: "Chief Lin, please come in."

The gentleman's appearance, no different from that of humans, is three points similar to Qing Zhixun.

It is both Qing Zhixun's guard and Qing Zhixun's butler.

Lin Zaiqin glanced at it and replied, "Sorry for the trouble."

Qing Sansui summoned the transmitter, pressed the number of Qing Zhixun's office, and didn't speak again.

It has been aloof Qing Sansui during this period.

That noisy personality was forced to change by Qing Zhixun.

Although it really wants to change back.

But it's not bad now.

Soon they arrived at the transporter parking location.

Qing Zhixun was waiting there.

"Lieutenant General Lin, long time no see." Qing Zhixun stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Zaiqin.

"Long time no see, Major General Qing." The two exchanged a few words outside the door.

After entering the room, Lin Zaiqin quickly glanced at the layout of Qing Zhixun's office and found it simple and tidy, without any extra objects.

Qing Zhixun took Lin Zaiqin to the sofa.

Before Qing was three years old, he took some fruits and snacks and placed them on the table.

At this time, he poured hot drinks for Lin Zaiqin and Qing Zhixun.

After that, it quietly retreated to the side, waiting for Qing Zhixun's next instruction.

Lin Zaiqin took a sip of hot drink, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said the purpose of coming, "This time, I came to discuss the farewell ceremony of the sacrificed soldiers with Major General Qing."

The number of casualties in the West District was less than that in the East District.

However, a lieutenant colonel was sacrificed in the West District.

Lin Zaiqin attached great importance to the farewell ceremony, which was his attitude as a superior.

"Hold it according to the convention, and then send someone to send the bodies of the soldiers to their hometown." Qing Zhixun has discussed this matter with other people in the East District.

"Well, Lieutenant General Marcel of the South District and I have reached a consensus. This farewell ceremony will be held together by the entire Yuanri garrison. The specifications will be in accordance with the conventions. The location will be set at the Fanershan Square in the West District." The Fanershan Square in the West District is the largest training ground in the entire garrison.

Qing Zhixun agreed without thinking, "Okay, all captains and above in the East District will go to see the soldiers off for the last time."

Lin Zaiqin told Qing Zhixun about his discovery that insects have intelligence, "We were careless this time."

"No one wants this to happen. Things on the battlefield are ever-changing." Qing Zhixun believes that Lin Zaiqin, who has served for many years, understands that sometimes sacrifice is just a matter of a moment on the battlefield.
