Chapter 262 Such a Young Brigadier General

Chapter 262 Such a Young Brigadier General

The giant cockroach knew that it was not stupid to sneak attack the lone Ai Wanxin from underground. Half of its lower lip was pulled off at the beginning, and its head was almost exploded by the force as heavy as a mountain. At this time, it was surrounded by four people with powerful auras. It knew that it would not end well, so it shrank into the ground and was about to run away.

He Yang slapped the ground with his palm, sealing the tunnel that the giant cockroach had dug underground, blocking it for half a moment.

Ai Wanxin swung her whip again, wrapping around the giant cockroach's triangular head like a snake. She used the stretching force of the whip to fly towards its wide-open mouth.

In mid-air, her gaze met that of a pair of scarlet eyes on the pale face of a man deep in his mouth.

He is indeed a fusion person.

Ai Wanxin landed steadily on the smooth and hard triangular head of the giant cockroach. The cockroach's honeycomb-like black compound eyes were right next to her hand.

Ai Wanxin put her hand on the slippery shell of the giant cockroach and felt a hand full of wax.

She suppressed the urge to cry, extended her mental tentacles, plunged into the giant cockroach's mental sea, and quickly put out the raging flames on the sea.

The giant cockroach's struggle slowly stopped. Its antennae, as thick as thighs, drooped for a moment, then stood up again and kept shaking. No one knew what signal it sent, but the swarm of cockroaches that had been trying to attack finally stopped, and then retreated like a tide, just like when they came.

"...Who are you?" A hoarse voice came from the giant cockroach's mouthparts.

Seeing that he had regained his human sanity, Ai Wanxin retracted the flaming whip and jumped off the giant cockroach's head.

Yin Yanhan took a step forward and caught her. Ai Wanxin rubbed the wax on her hands on his coat imperceptibly. She squinted her eyes and smiled, "Brother Han, your coat is dirty. Let me pat it for you."

A smile flashed across Yin Yanhan's eyes, and he said softly, "Thank you."

Ai Wanxin wiped her hands and turned around. The giant cockroach's upper jaw and lower lip separated, and a flesh-colored straw extended from its mouth.

The top of the straw was connected to a human neck, and at the front was the head of a middle-aged human man.

The half-short hair stuck limply to his head. The man had a broad forehead, a square face, broken eyebrows, and a pale, bloodless face. He looked tired. He turned his gaze in the direction of Ai Wanxin and asked another question.

"who are you?"

Ai Wanxin asked back: "Who are you?"

The man's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"My name is Zhu Taihe. I used to be the commander of the Military Intelligence Battalion of the 9th Mountain Division. Now, I don't know what I am..."

Ai Wanxin's eyes lit up and she asked, "You are from the Ninth Mountain Division, so where are the other people in your division?"

The lonely head shook its head: "I don't know."

Yin Yanhan suddenly asked, "What did you inject before you became like this?"

Zhu Taihe suddenly looked in his direction, his voice trembling: "How...how do you know?"

"I have my own way. The military has sent us to investigate the truth behind the demise of the Ninth Mountain Division. You can tell me everything you know."

Zhu Taihe looked them up and down: "You...are you sent by the military? Do you have any proof?"

He Yang took a step forward, hooked out his nameplate from his collar and held it up in the air.

"He Yang, captain of a commando squadron of the Marine Corps. Perhaps you have heard of my other identity, the son of He Shifeng, commander-in-chief of the Yanbei Military Region of the Army."

He Yang usually never mentions his father, but he is not a pedantic person and he has to use his status when necessary.

The meat straw stretched forward, and Zhu Taihe's head moved close to the nameplate in He Yang's hand, so close that he could almost hear He Yang's breath.

Zhu Taihe was very familiar with the nameplates, on which were stamped the officers' and soldiers' names, unit numbers, ranks, appointment dates, and personal information such as blood types.

He stared at He Yang's nameplate for a long time, his eyes were solemn, but his mind was working at high speed.

Although nameplates can be forged, there is no need to forge such an identity.

The fact that He Yang is Commander He's son is just gossip spread privately and has never been acknowledged by the person involved. With such an identity, no one would openly recognize it, so there is no need to impersonate him.

Therefore, it was the commander himself who began to doubt the fate of the 9th Mountain Division. Unable to determine which link had problems, he directly bypassed all channels that might leak the information and arranged for his son to investigate the truth.

Seeing Zhu Taihe was silent, He Yang put away the nameplate and said, "If you don't believe me, come with us to the surface. I'll get through to the commander and have him talk to you in person."

The meat straw slowly retracted, and Zhu Taihe nodded: "I believe you."

He Yang turned his head and looked at Ai Wanxin: "This is Brigadier General Ai Wanxin, the commander of the Fengcheng Guard. She is directly under the command of Commander He and is in charge of this investigation. You can trust her."

Zhu Taihe turned to Ai Wanxin: "Such a young brigadier general..."

"But you are indeed very strong. Before you came, the human part of my consciousness had been dormant for a long time. I even thought that I was dead. In my chaotic mind, the only things left were foraging for food and reproduction."

"I never thought that I would have the opportunity to talk to humans again."

"I never thought that the 9th Mountain Division would have its injustice redressed and see the light of day."

Ai Wanxin frowned slightly: "What happened to the Ninth Mountain Division? Why was the entire army annihilated, and why did they report back to the military headquarters that the entire Frost City had fallen?"

The giant cockroach's triangular head moved. Zhu Taihe sighed softly and said, "You guys follow me."

His head retracted into the giant cockroach's mouthparts.

The giant cockroach shrank back into the ground, and its huge body turned its head in the narrow hole.

Tuoba Qing held up a high-intensity flashlight and shone it towards the large hole beneath his feet.

The giant cockroach, reflecting an oily luster, twisted its body, dug up the foundation and rocks underground, and drilled deep into the ground.

"What is it taking us to find?" Tuoba Qing asked.

"Go find the server it dragged away from the central equipment room." Yin Yanhan said.

Ai Wanxin exchanged glances with him, gritted her teeth, and jumped down from the cave first.

Her three sentinels followed closely behind, jumping one after another into the large hole leading deep into the earth.

After the big cockroach dug up the part of the foundation that He Yang had just sealed, it fell into a passage that was just big enough to accommodate its body.

It seemed that it had passed through this corridor and suddenly appeared under Ai Wanxin's feet.

After landing, He Yang walked to the front, Yin Yanhan followed behind, and Tuoba Qiong stayed beside Ai Wanxin.

The formation was tighter than ever before.

They definitely couldn't let the sneak attack that just happened happen again.

The giant cockroach crawled forward quickly. The tunnel sometimes branched and sometimes spiraled, almost forming a three-dimensional maze underground. Although it was not the first time that Ai Wanxin had dug a tunnel, she remained vigilant.

She found an opportunity to take the black crystal core out of the box. If she encountered danger along the way and the situation was too urgent to think of any other solutions, she would crush the crystal core and run with her sentinels.

The system always fooled her, telling her that crushing the black crystal core would create a rift in time and space, with unpredictable consequences, and asked her to use it with caution.

How come others pinch one after another and nothing happens?

The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.

Since others can use it, she can use it too.
