Chapter 312 Deep into Bee Island, Encountering Enemy, Attack (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

It was noon on August 10th, Japan time, in a sea area near Osaka.

Above the azure sea, two red and blue fighter jets, one in front of the other, moved slowly through the sea of ​​clouds like giant eagles with their wings folded.

They are flying towards that unnamed island near Osaka, their goal being to scout out the island's environment.

Both fighter jets are products of the superpower of Rainbow Wing's "Overloader" Garfield—he can store large quantities of metal, special substances, and even body parts of some magical creature, and perfectly combine them to create some kind of combat device or vehicle.

Because Garfield was relatively young, he often created things that were very cartoonish and visually striking, such as the appearance of these two fighter jets, which looked very cartoonish.

Under Garfield's deliberate creation, the fighter jets were equipped with an autopilot mode, and could also be controlled by voice in critical situations, eliminating the need for strenuous manual operation.

At that moment, the fighter jets simultaneously activated camouflage mode, gradually transforming into a white expanse that lost its outline, dissolving into the center of the clouds.

Inside the lead fighter jet were four figures: Garfield, Oda Hideaki, Gu Qiye, and Yuriel.

Ruri Urushihara was sitting inside another fighter jet, and before the operation began, she had left diamond-shaped marks on the four people mentioned earlier.

After that, the fighter jet she was in would hover over the outside of the nameless island, while the fighter jets carrying the other four people would enter the island to investigate the enemy situation.

If they are besieged by the bee horde, Ruri Urushihara will immediately unleash her powers to pull them back from the fighter jet, preventing a prolonged battle.

Then, they would take this spare fighter jet to evacuate the island and return to Osaka to report the obtained geographical intelligence to their superiors.

The interior of the No. 1 fighter jet was very cramped, barely enough to accommodate four people.

At this moment, Oda Hideaki tucked his arms into the sleeves of his black kimono and closed his eyes to rest.

Gu Qiye looked up at the color scheme of the cabin and asked Garfield, "I have a question. Why is the color scheme of your fighter jet so... flamboyant?"

"Isn't it beautiful? The red and blue color scheme is so vibrant and impactful!" Garfield sat in the front, reclining in his chair and playing on his phone.

With five minutes to go before the plane officially landed on the unnamed island, he had plenty of free time.

"A three-year-old's aesthetic sense," Yuriel said.

"This color scheme reminds me of Action Kamen from Crayon Shin-chan," said Gu Qiye.

“I didn’t expect our Mr. Blue Arc to be so childish.” Garfield retorted, “You could also cross your arms, strike a pose to fire lightning, and shout ‘Dynamic Light Wave,’ that would definitely boost your popularity even further.”

"Correction: Blue Arc is dead. He is now Black Flash," Yuriel said calmly.

"Can't you tell I'm being sarcastic? He's clearly calling me childish, but he's using 'Crayon Shin-chan' as an analogy himself. It's like the pot calling the kettle black."

As Garfield spoke, he turned up his sweater collar to cover his mouth, and his low-hanging blue bangs obscured his eyes.

Gu Qiye smiled nonchalantly, "Actually, I did think about that before. The association asked me to design a signature move and a finishing move for myself to make it easier to promote myself... But in the end, I felt it was too embarrassing to shout out the names of moves while fighting, so I stopped. Would anyone in the world really do that?"

“You’re so naive, I don’t believe you,” Garfield said.

“I think it’s quite cute,” Yuriel said.

“The world of young people,” Oda Hideaki said with his eyes closed.

Gu Qiye was silent for a moment, then turned to ask, "Mr. Oda Hideaki, I'm a little curious, what is your special ability?"

“Not worth mentioning.” Oda Hidehiko shook his head.

"Ok."

After a while, looking out the fighter jet's front window, the isolated island nestled on the horizon became visible. The sea was bathed in dazzling sunlight from all sides, but the island remained dark and shrouded in a mysterious veil.

It's like a drawing of hell.

“We’ve arrived.” Garfield put away his phone and looked up at the screen.

“That’s the nameless island where the Light-Eating Bees live…” Gu Qiye murmured softly.

Yuriel nodded silently.

Oda Hideaki frowned slightly, his pale brows furrowing. Although he had seen photos of the nameless island beforehand, witnessing the scene in person was still breathtaking.

"Hey, Ditto, did you hear me?" Garfield glanced at Unit 2 flying behind him and activated the communication function.

“I heard you, Garfield.” Ruri Urushihara’s languid voice came from the device. “Your plane can stop here. Stay on the edge of the island and don’t move. If something happens to us, use your powers to pull us back, understand?” Garfield said.

"Got it, go get busy."

As soon as she finished speaking, the No. 1 fighter jet lowered its altitude and silently flew into the interior of the island.

At the same time, a flash of blue light appeared in Garfield's eyes, and a corner of the fighter jet suddenly opened up, from which countless small drones flew out and spread out.

The drones formed a circle, always maintaining their position around the fighter jet.

Each drone is equipped with a camera, and the camera has built-in night vision capabilities. Even in the darkest of times, the view of the island will still be clearly captured by the camera, and the captured images will be displayed on a screen inside the cabin so that the four people inside can see the island clearly.

Silently, the fighter jets, now in camouflage mode, gradually penetrated deeper into the dark island. It was pitch black, and from the darkness came faint, hoarse, and deep roars, as well as the buzzing of bee wings.

The four people in the cabin looked up at the footage captured by the drone. Directly below them were vast swarms of light-eating bees. They resembled a group of fanatical pilgrims, their heads held high, stretching out their hands towards the sun.

The bee stinger split open, revealing its mouth through the crack. The mouth opened and closed, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, as it greedily sucked in the sunlight, just like an infant suckling its mother's milk.

The sheer number of light-devouring bees was like an ant swarm, densely packed and unhindered, rushing into the four people's eyes. If someone had trypophobia, they might have already gone crazy by now.

"The number is greater than we imagined; there are at least several thousand worker bees like this," Gu Qiye said.

Garfield said expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter how many small fry there are. The princess's 'Red Sun' can burn half an island of light-eating bees in an instant."

“The problem lies with their leaders, those four newly hatched queen bees,” Yuriel added.

Oda Hideaki frowned deeply, staring intently at the screen without moving.

“That’s… a beehive,” he suddenly said in a low voice.

At this moment, all four of them became more alert. As the fighter jets penetrated deeper into the island, the drones circling nearby finally found a ray of light in this deep darkness, a light so dazzling that it made one close their eyes.

It was the only light in the dim world, perched atop the highest peak on the island, and thus naturally became a symbol of some kind of supreme power.

At first, they thought it was a magnificent floating city, but upon closer inspection, they realized that the golden hexagonal building was not a castle at all! It was... the hive of the Light-Eating Bees!
At this very moment, four eerie and imposing figures stood at the entrance to the hive.

The drone magnified the view of the hive entrance countless times, allowing the four people in the cabin to see what it looked like.

The leading queen bee had a long, slender tail, its entire body was black, and its facial features were no different from a human's, with its high-set pupils emitting a captivating golden light. It had a pair of hexagonal wings on its back, each wing shaped like a honeycomb.

The second homing bee had no wings, its entire body was purple, its pupils were also purple, its limbs were thick, and its tail was connected to a giant hammer.

The third sergeant was slender, with a human female face and blue eyes. She wore a sea-blue dress and had a blue bow in her short hair. She had a pair of huge wings on her back, like a bird.

The fourth queen bee had a rather ordinary appearance. It was golden all over, with symmetrical limbs, a pair of transparent thin wings on its back, and no bee sting on its face. It had the facial features of a normal human teenager.

“It looks very different from the ordinary light-devouring bees… So it’s one of the four great bee lords?” Gu Qiye pondered.

“Yes, that’s it,” Garfield said. “These are the leaders of the bee colony, from whom the next queen will be born. We have to kill them before that happens.”

Oda Hideaki remained silent, his aged brows furrowed, his dark eyes fixed on the figures of the four bee lords.

“The authorities extracted descriptions of the four queen bees from the captured Light-Eating Bees,” Yuriel said. “Judging from the scene before us, at the entrance of the hive, from left to right, they are Queen Bee ‘Joe’, Queen Bee ‘Guli’, Queen Bee ‘Cameron’, and Queen Bee ‘Melvitt’.”

Gu Qiye nodded silently, memorizing the four names and the appearance of the corresponding bee lords.

He knew that Yuriel's words were quite convincing. After all, the Icelandic girl had said that the side effect of her powers was hyperthymesia. As long as Yuriel had seen the information, even if she wanted to forget it, her brain would not allow her to do so.

Yuriel thought for a moment and continued, "We don't yet know what special abilities the four queen bees possess, but at least we know the location of the hive, and I think we can go back and report the situation."

However, as soon as they finished speaking, the four people's expressions suddenly changed slightly, because at that moment, the giant bee "Qiao" in the picture suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the drone's camera.

Its pupils shone with a captivating golden light, and gradually took on the outline of a fighter jet.

Then, in a fleeting fraction of a second, Joe slightly bent his knees, his knees swelled up, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and he shot straight upwards from the entrance of the hive.

In that one utterly silent second, it moved faster than the speed of sound, its entire form like a beam of black light, hurtling towards the fighter jets in the sky...

But by the time the deafening roar and the howling sound of the atmosphere tearing apart begin, it will be the next second.

"Bang—!" The fighter jet's windshield shattered, and Big Bee Hou Qiao's face turned cold, his ferocious pupils bulging upwards, reflecting the faces of Rainbow Wing and the other three.
