Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Bai E's sudden outburst invigorated all the warriors who witnessed it.

With such a tough guy on the team, who would fear these mere bugs?

"Shan Meng, you go help them too! Buy us some time!"

Hu commanded in a cold voice.

The approaching swarm of smaller insects was also a threat, but the biggest threat was still right in front of them.

If these sand insects weren't dealt with, they would always be the biggest threat to their vehicles.

The transport vehicles were hefty, unable to maneuver as nimbly as smaller cars. If they were attacked by sand insects from underground, they would overturn and roll like their teammate's vehicle, with no chance of escape.

They had to eliminate these sand insects for a chance to flee in their vehicles.

At the same time, the bodies of these sand insects were the core of their mission.

The main issue was that against opponents like sand insects, with great strength and size, Shan Meng's capabilities were not suitable for combat. Raising a shield like a punching bag and purely enduring hits was entirely disadvantageous.

"Alright!"

Shan Meng, knowing he was not very useful against the sand insects, turned and ran towards the other side.

The bug wave was drawing closer, and it was visible to the naked eye that there were no large units within it.

All bees and worker insects?

Shan Meng felt the pressure on him lessen somewhat.

Unlike the two thousand new soldiers caught unawares by the insect invasion at the military camp, elite soldiers equipped with sufficient heavy firepower weren't very fearful of a bug wave composed of worker and bee insects.

The most important aspect of human combat wisdom is learning to use weapons.

Shan Meng picked up the flamethrower that had just been assembled by another squad's teammate and stepped in front of him, "Wounded to the back, don't wander up front."

"..." The soldier didn't talk nonsense and turned to rummage through the overturned carriage.

Flamethrowers, mortars, grenades, land mines... they had brought plenty of these.

A bulky supply line had its inconveniences, but during position warfare, ample supplies often meant that firepower could overcome everything.

"Swoosh!"

"Boom!"

"Swoosh!"

"Boom!"

The set-up mortars fired one death-bringing bomb after another.

The "tide" rushing from afar was hit by the first wave of precise sniping from the soldiers.

With You's entire team rescued, even though some were still wounded, operating these long-range heavy weapons wasn't much of an issue.

The advantage of seasoned special forces team members was that, apart from Mechas which required qualifications, there were hardly any weapons they couldn't handle.

Shan Meng, cradling the massive flamethrower, glanced at You, who seemed to be covered in grenades, "Are all the land mines buried?"

"Buried?" You looked at Shan Meng strangely.

Against those insects, was there a need for this word? Worker and bee insects, such low-intelligence creatures, were driven by an extreme bloodlust. Upon seeing an enemy, their shortest charge path was a straight line. As for detailed tactics?

There were none.

All you had to do was turn on the land mine and throw it in the line between the insects and themselves; those bugs would step on it on their own accord.

While the sky was ablaze with gunfire on one side, the battle against the sand insects was left solely to Bai E and the other two.

The mortars dared not fire at the sand insects close to the transport vehicle, and without vehicles in the wild, it was hard to imagine how they would "get home."

Hu held the Chainsword, which was almost as big as him, and watched the sand insects with a fierce gaze.

In the past two missions, they always faced special opponents who launched psychic attacks, leaving them no room to demonstrate their hard-earned strength.

After all, it was not easy to qualify for a special forces team.

The fact that Hu became the team leader was something he had fought for with real guns and bullets.

He tore off the combat suit that served only as a restraint, his muscles bursting with explosive power.

Song Ying fired grenade shots from behind, always precisely helping Hu interrupt some action of the sand insects. The tacit cooperation between old comrades made them instinctively aware of each other's combat abilities and tactical choices.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" The Chainsword's teeth gnawed at the weak spots in the sand insect's carapace, sparks flashed for a brief moment during the struggle, and the greatsword entered the body with difficulty.

It cut a swath, leaving behind shredded flesh and blood!

"Hold off two for me!"

Bai E shouted from a distance.

There were six sand insects in total, with one already dealt with and another showing signs of decline under Hu and Song Ying's coordination.

However, the four sand insects that initially flipped over another team's transport vehicle were gradually recovering from their "dizzy state," leaving not much time for him to execute them one by one.

If his teammates couldn't entangle at least two of them, it would be difficult to kill them all before the sand insects inflicted greater damage.

"Okay!" Hu responded sharply.

Everyone's opinion can be ignored, but Bai E's must be heeded. On the battlefield, the more powerful always have more say, provided they have demonstrated clear tactical and strategic thinking.

Bai E refocused his attention, his well-trained qualities allowing him to take care of his teammates' situation even amidst the battle. Even as he made arrangements while distracted, his assault on the sandworms in front of him never ceased.

An indestructible steel warrior, every punch he threw could cause tons of damage, making the seemingly large sandworms almost powerless against Bai E.

The sandworms, driven to desperation and attempting to burrow away, found themselves grasped firmly by Bai E, who clutched the hardest thorns on their bodies.

The ferocious will, along with a terrifying force, was unleashed to the extreme; "Overlimit Drive" combined with "Instant Kill Hundred Heads" centered a punch on the body of a sandworm.

"Boom!"

The explosive power released, the cracked Bug Race carapace fragmented outward from the center, and the flesh beneath was turned into a mass of mush from that single punch.

Without neural node control, the claw blades that intended to dig and flee stopped their action, merely trembling unconsciously on their limbs.

Without the time to finish it off completely, Bai E once again lunged towards another sandworm that had awakened and was trying to destroy the transport vehicle.

The size of these sandworms was comparable to their transport vehicles, allowed to wreak havoc unchecked, the vehicles could certainly not match the resilience of his flesh which was now shielded with "Absolute Defense."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Each punch landed with a heart-shockingly dull thud, occasionally mixed with the sound of cracking carapaces.

The distinct rhythm, even amid a battlefield ablaze with gunfire, sounded incredibly jarring. The warriors, adjusting their firing angles continuously, couldn't help but steal a glance at the lone figure battling the sandworms.

'Meng!'

'So fierce!'

The squad captain watched the approaching tide of bugs, his face notably less relaxed.

"Prepare to assist."

Mortar fire was useless!

The enemy's numbers didn't seem endless, only a vast swarm rushing up together. Even if most were blown to pieces, the remaining tide of bugs closed in.

Next to them was the overturned transport vehicle, with nowhere to escape.

"Kill!"

Flamethrowers and machine guns opened fire in an instant, and the brave warriors stood their ground without faltering; the fiery glow even lit up the night as if it were day.

As the bugs, swinging their symbiotic weapons, closed in, the mountainous Shan Meng with sword and shield in hand, suddenly charged forward.

Like a bulldozer, he cleared a swath of space.

But the bugs' segmented noises were sticky and greasy, dense and numerous.

Once they closed in, these bloodthirsty, maddened bugs seemed to move even faster.

When faced with the tide of bugs that surged up close, the blades on the machine guns stood as the ultimate, strongest weapons.

"For the Empire!"

"For the City Lord!"

The warriors cried out their beliefs, and then... went to their honorable deaths.

Bai E's heart shook at a glimpse of this scene, as a surge of savage rage instantly invaded his mind.

The ever-burning Spiritual Energy seemed to add a blood-red border to the edge of his vision.

Endless power seemed to burgeon from that boundless blood-red...

"Boom!"

Bai E's punch came down, shattering not only the body of the bug before him but also the blood-red border in his vision.

Power... I will acquire it myself.

[In the fierce battle, you have shattered "The Gaze of the Gods," Mystery +0.1.]

A whip-like kick sent the approaching sandworm staggering backward; Bai E's eyes coldly focused as he swiftly drew the Compound Bow that had always hung at his waist.

The mechanism quickly unfolded, and Bai E targeted his shot even while still midair.

Behind the sharp arrowhead were Bai E's eyes, cold and cutting as knives.

Slight draw back...

"Swoosh!"

A hurricane swept through, artificially clearing a desolate path through the densest part of the bug wave.

Blood and flesh rained down through the sweeping hurricane, piece by piece.

Mixed with the blood rain and the stench of the wind.

Still not enough...

The danger is far from over!

Bai E's spirit remained tense, not relaxing in the slightest.
