Chapter 589: Chapter 179: Exploration Blocked

This mode, given time, could even evolve into an Insect Man Warrior.

In an emergency situation, the Colonel of the support ship directly communicated with Wu Qingqing, asking if she could participate in the hacking operation as her mecha was unaffected.

As long as she participated, and wasn’t passive in combat, she could accumulate between one hundred and five hundred points regardless of whether or not she delivered the final blow.

Wu Qingqing: "Following orders."

The support ship’s commander, who was also a Colonel, said, "I’ll have a technician talk to you; cooperate with her at that time."

The technician quickly relayed the plan, "Hello, Wu, do you see the tentacles near the top of the tower? The Insect Man’s body extends into the tower from here. Cut it off. We suspect an important part of its body is inside."

Since powerful remote attacks don’t kill it, there must be a weakness.

"Provide cover fire for two people."

"Okay."

No need for the technician to explain further, Wu Qingqing was already flying forward quickly.

The soldiers from the rear concentrated all their firepower to assist her, and two custom-made mecha Captains followed at her side.

Wu Qingqing’s advancing route was remarkably impressive; her evasive maneuvers were minimal, which helped those providing cover fire to aim at their target.

Navigator Xiao Wu had already plotted a route for approaching.

Wu Qingqing only needed to train her body to dodge instinctively, and her mind would naturally learn this danger evasion.

"Su Xiaocai’s Vegetable Farmers are naturally suited for combat on the battlefield," veterans couldn’t help but praise Wu Qingqing as she precisely hit every mark without dragging her feet or needing further guidance.

The people from Jun Yue and Yun Ji were strong, but they weren’t used to collective action. Squad tactics differ from large group operations.

The Vegetable Farmers could understand what you wanted to do right away and how to do it, better than old soldiers.

Many commanders found themselves drawn to the Vegetable Farmers, their performance was truly outstanding, and Ji Heng and Hu Ping commanded others to advance more rapidly and steadily.

Admiral Bai was almost about to cheer for them.

The key is, this was a competition, yet they didn’t focus solely on it, always remembering their mission and discipline, not crossing over other soldiers to compete.

This aligned with their original intention of selecting talents.

Admiral Bai wanted to bring them under his command, but it was impossible. Talent allocation has always allowed them to only strive for a portion, and with ten Vegetable Farmers, even if Admiral Bai pre-booked them, he couldn’t prevent them from eventually scattering.

Wu Qingqing approached the signal tower. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The mutated Acid-spitting Worm sensed danger, its boils pulsating as it continuously spewed acid, mixed with gooey substances that looked like snot bubbles.

An Insect Man dove headfirst into one without dodging.

The entire Insect Man was enveloped in the snot bubble.

Commentator Mr. Niu: "What the hell is this!"

Insect Man combat videos demand not only professional knowledge but also quick wit and clear verbal expression.

Mr. Niu was puzzled, "What’s happening here?"

The Insect Man inside the snot bubble struggled like a drowning bug, its tentacles flailing wildly, trying to escape the sticky substance.

This stuff behaved like glue, with every flick stretching out strands of sticky goo, and the more it struggled, the more threads appeared, increasing in stickiness, and then slowly hardening.

Helplessly, they watched the Insect Man struggle more slowly before freezing still, drifting in the starry sky.

Not only the audience found this scene terrifying, even Wu Qingqing didn’t want to touch this stuff.

The mecha might stop working, resulting in it being scrapped during the competition.

Su Xiaocai found this intriguing and contacted Colonel Yuan, who was stationed on Blue Star and available for communication.

"I want that snot bubble. Do you have a way to get me a sample for research?"

During the live broadcast, Su Xiaocai contacted him several times for various materials, treating them like private mercenaries.

Ordinarily, Colonel Yuan wouldn’t bother, but Su Xiaocai wasn’t an ordinary person; she was the God of Wealth.

Colonel Yuan was happy to oblige since Su Xiaocai wasn’t stingy about sharing technology.

Their new warship employed isolation shield technology for exploring lifeforms.

As long as it wasn’t deliberately engaged in attack or movement, and allowed to drift, ordinary Insect Men considered the warship as a dead object, greatly aiding advancement.

It was estimated that fitting all ships with this would reduce losses by hundreds of trillions.

The closer Wu Qingqing got to the mutated Acid-spitting Worm, the more intense its attacks became.

With swarms of blob-like substances drifting around her, Wu Qingqing deftly avoided them. The cover fire personnel dared not open fire, fearing the snot bubbles would scatter, making the situation even more troublesome.

Fortunately, the mutated Acid-spitting Worm was only a Greed, not an Insect Man Warrior, unable to continuously output a massive offensive, and Wu Qingqing burst through a wall of acid barriers.
