Chapter 2: Hatching Jumping Insects

Thomas, you go and turn on the video recorder, capture all of this. I will be on guard.

Upon hearing these words, Tang Fang suddenly shivered, his mind going blank. As long as Thomas followed the instructions and conducted a thorough inspection, he would undoubtedly expose his disguise. At that point, all Kanda had to do was gently pull the trigger, and he would surely be turned into a human sieve by the dense hail of bullets

Just as Tang Fang was entangled in the decision of whether to stay or leave, a sudden sound of scattered footsteps came from not far away around the bend, accompanied by the conversation of two individuals

Bang bang bang

Tang Fang gasped heavily, and even with all of Tang Yan's combat skills, it was particularly difficult to evade this time

Heard that the new girls at the Omega Space Station are quite something, all stunning beauties with long legs and fair skin. Once this matter is settled, we should go and have some fun too

It is Thomas and Kanda

Next, the two of them laughed lewdly, as if a general had encountered a flower girl

Tang Fang glanced at the two little dogs, covered in scales and waving six hooks, with a sense of disinterest. He sighed, cursing the fate that seemed to be a real bitch. He had yet to figure out how to navigate this damn interstellar system, and now he was supposed to go to the underworld to chat and drink tea with King Yan.

You have truly spoken to my heart

In the game, the Split Pool is the most fundamental technological structure. Once constructed, the Hatchery can produce pups (scientific name: Jumping Insects) and Worm Queens, and it can also upgrade the attack speed and movement speed of the pups.

Just at that moment, a strange sound echoed in my mind. With a shift in thought, I noticed that the division pool on the fungal mat had been completed. The pool, resembling the gaping maw of a fierce beast, was churning with a viscous green liquid, sharp spikes protruding from its edges

"Thomas, lie down." On the opposite side, Kanda snapped back to reality from his astonishment and called out loudly to Thomas, pulling the trigger in his hand

The lights swept around, revealing that all the insects were dead, and Tang Yan lay on the ground, seemingly having been dead for quite some time. The two of them were overjoyed; this was simply the best outcome. As long as they took two photos to bring back—one to submit a death report to the higher-ups and the other to show to their boss—they could just wait to collect their bonus.

Oh

After circling around Tang Yan's corpse, Thomas turned off the camera and smiled, saying: "Mission accomplished, let's go."

... ...

The trick that Wei Touer has devised for us is truly remarkable. Next, all we need to do is take a photograph, submit the death record, and those rewards will be enough for us to enjoy ourselves for more than half a year

Tang Fang only felt his hands and feet turning cold, a bead of cold sweat oozing from his forehead. No wonder, it turned out that all of this had been premeditated by the two of them

Tang Fang felt a surge of joy in his heart, just as he was about to call out to the two, when a faint conversation drifted over, leaving him completely stunned

The life energy was directly reset to zero, accompanied by a larva transforming into an egg, initiating the hatching process. This series of operations was completed entirely within his mind; although it sounds complex, it actually took only a brief moment.

If the two of them discover that he is still alive, they will undoubtedly strike hard and eliminate him directly. A counterattack? With his current injured body, is that even possible? Not to mention that the ammunition in the gun has long been exhausted in previous battles; right now, he only has a single fragmentation grenade left. Unless he is tired of living and wants to perish together with these two scoundrels, otherwise, it is nothing more than a pile of sheep dung, utterly useless.

Goozi

Clap, clap

The pain from the wound intensified once more, and blood flowed out again, splattering conspicuously on the rock stained with the bodily fluids of insects

"Good." Responding with a word, Thomas activated the shoulder-mounted imaging recorder and proceeded slowly forward

To traverse to the future only to meet one's demise is indeed quite ironic. Why not just detonate that fragmentary grenade and let everyone die together! But will Kanda give himself a chance?

Clap, clap

Unfortunately, Tang Fang let out a quiet sigh. If it were not for the stabbing pain in his leg, causing him to hesitate slightly in his movements, Thomas would likely have already met his demise at this moment

It is evident that they are also afraid of death, cautiously advancing with their guns while simultaneously surveying the surrounding pit environment

Hmph, even if he doesn't die from the fall, those insects will surely tear him apart

If Tang Fang's hand moves forward just half an inch, the dagger will open a bloody hole in his throat. Thomas was drenched in cold sweat, and the residual urine that he had not fully expelled earlier shot out, soaking his underwear.

Hahaha

Thomas, did that kid fall from a height of seven or eight meters, and is he dead or not?

It is over, everything is over. This time, it was because I heard Kanda's warning to Thomas that I instinctively rolled to the side and narrowly avoided the gunfire. If Kanda had turned the gun around and pulled the trigger again, there would have been no way for me to escape.

The cursor blinks, "Combat units detected, would you like to join the battle group?"

The three-round burst fired, and the bullets struck the rocks, sending countless sparks flying.

The footsteps grew closer, and one could almost hear the heavy breathing of the two individuals

The wind howled in his ears, and the dagger reflected a faint cold light under the illumination of the lamp. Thomas had no time to think further and directly sat down on the ground. He tilted his head back, and the sharp edge grazed closely against his throat.

The sound of thick-soled military boots stepping on the rocks grew closer.

Meanwhile, Thomas reluctantly crouched down and reached for Tang Fang's carotid artery.

Tang Fang was startled awake by the sound, his body instantly tensing up straight. Seizing the moment when Thomas was completely unguarded, he suddenly turned to the side and slashed at his throat with the dagger he had been holding for a long time.

He gently tossed the gun aside, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain as he peeled off the medical adhesive from his leg. With a forceful motion, he dug into the wound, smearing the blood plasma across his neck to create a vivid red mark. Then, he collapsed beside a corpse of an insect, pressing his neck tightly against its sharp claws, creating the illusion of having been brutally slashed and killed.

He noticed that the earlier value of 250 units of crystal had sharply decreased by 200, leaving only 50. Reflexively, he quickly pressed the hotkey to produce a puppy.

Tang Fang lay on the ground, holding his breath, completely motionless. With Kanda standing guard nearby, he had no real way to reverse his predicament and could only hope that the two would believe he was dead, take a photo, and leave immediately.

Tang Fangke did not want to be shot dead right after crossing over. He had endured when he lost his job, when his girlfriend of five years from university broke up with him, and when he was in debt for over 100,000 yuan. Now, asking him to close his eyes and wait for death? That would be akin to asking a homebody to give up on Japanese adult films; it is simply impossible.

This fellow is not dead! The sudden scene startled the two.

Kang Da nodded and was about to retreat when, unexpectedly, he said, "Hey, Thomas, check if he is completely dead to avoid any complications."

Alright

Just as he felt that the situation was hopeless, with no chance of survival, and was prepared to shed his last drop of blood in a final struggle against the enemy, a strange sound "zzg" echoed, signaling the successful hatching of a puppy in the insectoid base
