603: Chapter 465: Insect Swarm (Two in One)_2 603: Chapter 465: Insect Swarm (Two in One)_2 Lune listened carefully to the man’s recounting of the events, but his brows furrowed tighter and his expression was ever-changing.
“You’re saying that these insects lay their eggs inside humans, and when the ti is right, they complete hatching and breeding?”
He looked distressed.
The content of what the man nad Kando had just described was truly too shocking.
“Yes, Commander.
”
Kando quickly nodded his head.
“These conclusions aren’t just wild guesses by ; they are the results of our staff comparing various pieces of intelligence!”
His expression was urgent, as if afraid that the other party would not believe what he said.
“The staff, huh…
That does carry a high degree of credibility…”
Lune nodded, acknowledging the other’s statent.
“Right, have you seen any other people here after staying so long?”
Kando was startled, then his body trembled slightly.
“I’m sorry…
I haven’t seen anyone else…
Stephen, Dani, William…
they’re all dead.
They’re all dead…”
Seeing the man’s state, Lune and the nearby Jonathan exchanged glances and heaved a sigh.
“Alright, Kando, you’re safe now.
We’ve arranged a bathroom and a bed for you.
You go back to the ship and rest for a bit, we will handle the rest here.”
Lune nodded, speaking to him in a gentle tone.
But Kando suddenly widened his eyes and grabbed Lune’s arm, saying excitedly:
“Commander!
I know it might be inappropriate for to say this, but please believe , leave this place as soon as possible!
Please make sure to leave quickly!
Otherwise, when they co, it will be too late!”
Lune waved his hand to stop the few Hurricane Team warriors who were preparing to help, and then gently pushed away Kando’s hand, asking:
“Kando, I know you’ve been through a lot of terrible things, but don’t worry, we’re here now.
This place is filled with the elite of the Ninth Fleet and the Hurricane Bureau, we will ensure your safety.”
Kando’s face showed terror, as if he had seen sothing horrifying, and he said in a panic:
“No, no!
Commander!
I’m afraid you have not understood what I an!
The number of those insects is not what you imagine!”
“What you’re seeing now are just so stragglers active here.
Their main force isn’t here, but they have a Hive mind.
If you kill these isolated monsters, the other insects will definitely sense it, and they will co soon!
Please issue the order to leave quickly!”
“Hive mind…?”
Lune muttered to himself, seeing Kando’s condition, he grew even more cautious.
“Yes!
Commander!
Although we were attacked from within at first, the brothers still picked up weapons and counterattacked, quickly suppressing those insects…”
As he spoke, his voice took on an imasurable heaviness.
“However, the outskirts of the base were soon attacked!
The main force of the insects ca, and it was like a real ocean!
An ocean made up of insects!”
“The sheer number of them was simply too vast, seemingly endless.
It wasn’t just on the ground, but also in the sky and the sea, their presence was everywhere!
Our defense lines were practically nothing in front of that insect swarm…”
“What did you say!
There are also so in the sky and the sea!?”
Upon hearing this, Lune could no longer stay seated.
He suddenly stood up, his eyes sharp as he looked at the soldier before him.
The aura he exuded made even this battle-hardened veteran shudder.
“Yes, yes…
Those flying insects, they breached the defense line and directly attacked our rear.
And those creatures from the sea, as huge as Sea Monsters, easily destroyed our ships, making it impossible for us to retreat…”
Lune’s expression darkened as he listened.
He finally understood.
Why no one from the Seventh Fleet could escape, the problem was here.
“Jonathan, it seems that our enemy is more difficult than we thought.
Go imdiately and inform our brothers up front to retreat for now, tighten the defense line.
Also, call all commanders above level 5 to my ship for an ergency eting!”
He quickly laid out a series of arrangents.
But before Jonathan could nod and execute the orders, the communicator suddenly erupted with a burst of panicked shouting.
“Ah!
What is that!
My God!
It’s the insects!
Commander!
Quick…”
The voice cut off abruptly there, and everyone present fell silent upon hearing it.
“They’re here!
They’re here!”
Suddenly, Kando let out a voice filled with terror, montarily shattering the brief silence.
Lune’s gaze sharpened as he lifted his head towards the sky.
There, he could already see several figures with wings spread, flying towards them.
“First and second teams!
Set up the machine gun lines to the southeast, fifth and sixth teams are responsible for covering the retreat to the northeast!
Everyone, fall back to the port!”
Without hesitation, he picked up the communicator and issued a string of orders.
“Ratatatatata!”
The sound of gunfire rose with his words, as if heralding the beginning of a great battle.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!!”
A series of explosions ca from a distance.
Flashes of fire instantly reddened the sky, also enabling those still behind to clearly see the scene there.
Innurable insects, like a relentless tide, surged forward.
That sight of overwhelming numbers, with just one glance, was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
Not only that, the sky above was just as troubled.
It was evening, and the sun had not yet completely set.
When people looked up at the sky, they could still vaguely see so light and faint images.
Looking into the far distance, there was a large “dark cloud” floating over.
Soone picked up a pair of binoculars to take a closer look, imdiately turning pale with fright.
“Insects…
It’s insects!”
They said with a trembling voice, their legs starting to shake uncontrollably.
Lune imdiately took the binoculars for a glance, and his heart instantly ran cold.
In the sky, what was mistaken for dark clouds were in fact countless black-winged insects flying their way!
“Damn it!
Where the hell did these things co from!”
He punched the table beside him fiercely.
Although he was prepared before coming, Lune had not anticipated that the situation here had escalated to such an extent.
At any other ti, the ships and warriors he had brought would have constituted a top-tier force, even sufficient to launch a small-scale war.
However, after witnessing the endless sea of insects, even Lune, the head of the Hurricane Bureau, couldn’t help but panic.
He knew that they simply could not withstand the infinite insect swarm.
If it were only these creatures running upon the land, it would be one thing.
The modern weaponry they were equipped with might not have been without the power to fight.
But what was truly problematic was the vast number of insects in the sky.
This put them at a complete disadvantage.
Lune could tell from the flying insects’ speed that it would not be long before they reached the rear of the defense line.
As soon as they swooped down and disrupted the formation, all defenses would crumble like a dam burst by floodwaters, collapsing in an instant.
At this mont, everyone was acting rather helplessly.
So even made several mistakes in a row, appearing extrely clumsy.
Even the elite of the elite, the mbers of the Hurricane Team, had sweaty palms and repetitively perford nervous tics, betraying their inner unrest.
Actually, it was no wonder.
Though they were all well-trained warriors, the enemy they faced was the kind of monster that had not been seen on Water Blue Star before.
And to have so many appear at once.
With such numbers, one needn’t even speak of battling them, ordinary people might faint from terror just standing in their presence.
