Chapter 145 The True Meaning of Creation, Humanoid Mother Insect!? (25 Chapters in 2 Words, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)

Pass through the force field barrier.

The familiar deathly silence and pungent stench enveloped the team once again.

Without pausing for a moment, Fang Qingyu immediately unfolded the tactical tablet he was carrying.

On the screen, the intelligence obtained by the Beacon Fire Squad at the cost of their lives and the real-time combat map urgently updated by the General Staff of the Bureau of Justice were clearly displayed.

The map is divided into complex blocks.

The massive red dot representing the "Abyssal Weavers" hive is located underground in Central Park, resembling a beating heart.

More than a dozen sharp arrows pierced the red dot from different directions; that was the route chosen by the main force of the elite team led by Grandmaster Chen Wenshan and its auxiliary squads.

The outer perimeter was divided into squares of varying sizes, marked with the code names and areas of responsibility of each ambush squad, like a giant net attempting to catch the surging swarm of insects.

"The rock is in the old industrial park in the East District, the blade is in the commercial ruins, and the iron wall is blocking the main road leading to the park." Qin Hui leaned closer, his finger quickly sliding across the map, his face grave. "The swarm density is higher than the intelligence indicated, and they are having a very difficult time advancing."

“The shortest straight path is here.” Old Joe pointed to a dotted line that almost runs through the map. It avoids several dark purple areas marked as “high-risk insect hives” and tries to cut diagonally from a relatively sparse “abandoned residential area” towards Central Park. “Theoretically the fastest, but ‘sparse’ is what the Beacon Squad marked. Who knows what it’s become now.”

There is no absolutely safe route.

Fang Qingyu finished reading the map with a calm and composed voice, scanning every detail on the map. "The key is efficiency. This route is the shortest, and the probability of encountering a large-scale swarm of insects is relatively low. Even if there are unforeseen circumstances, it will still save time compared to taking a detour."

Finally, he pointed to the dotted line and made his decision: "Go this way. Maintain the highest level of alert. If we encounter the enemy, we will fight swiftly and decisively, leaving no survivors."

"Understood!" the crowd responded in unison, their eyes filled with a resolute determination.

The squad moved swiftly through the ruins like sharp blades blending into the shadows.

As the intelligence report had indicated, this abandoned residential area had relatively low-rise buildings, was less damaged, and the outlines of the streets were still faintly discernible.

But the fishy smell in the air and the rustling sounds under their feet reminded them that danger was everywhere.

After traveling about two kilometers, a relatively open intersection appeared ahead.

The partially collapsed residential buildings surrounding the area resembled the silent skeleton of a giant beast.

Fang Qingyu paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings, and his crisis perception skill silently blared!
"Here you are." The voice was deep and clear.

The words have not yet fallen.

"Hiss hiss hiss—!!!"

"Click-clack-clack-clack—!!!"

The sound is no longer background, but has transformed into a tangible wave, surging in from all directions!
A sharp screech erupted like a tsunami from all directions, from the ruins of buildings, sewer openings, and collapsed doors and windows!

Countless hideous insect shadows, like a black tide, instantly engulfed every inch of the crossroads!
The acid-corroding beetles spewed out a ghastly green venom, raining down like a dense barrage of arrows!

The Blade-Foot Cutter wields its gleaming scythe feet, cutting through the air like a meat grinder.

Sonic boom mosquitoes swooped down, creating a deafening, dizzying sonic boom.

Several "rock-crushing beetles," as large as off-road vehicles, pounded through the rubble like mobile battering rams, charging straight towards the core of the squad!

Directly ahead, a dense swarm of small "scythe-clawed swift insects" surged forward like a black carpet. They were extremely fast, their bladed legs gleaming with a cold light, like a tide of death, intending to engulf the entire squad in an instant!
Swarm!

It's as if they had been lying in ambush all along, just waiting for their prey to step into the trap!
"Form ranks!" Qin Hui's roar was drowned out by the chirping of insects.

He and Old Joe moved with lightning speed, instantly back to back, protecting Qi Hao, Lü Chen, and Jiang Wei in the middle.

The sword and gauntlets unleashed a fierce burst of energy, deflecting the first wave of splashed acid and swarming insects.

However, the sheer number of insects was terrifying!
The attack came from all directions without leaving any blind spots, instantly engulfing them!

Seeing this, Fang Qingyu advanced instead of retreating!

Take a step forward and face the surging black tide!

Om-!
An invisible yet vast and powerful force field suddenly erupted from him!
The range is exactly ten meters!
Celestial Stellar Force Field! Activate!

The three black-armored charging beetles at the forefront seemed to have crashed into an invisible stellar barrier with their ferocious charge!

His heavy body suddenly froze.

The carapace rubbed against the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and its speed visibly plummeted!
It let out a confused and angry hiss from its ferocious mouth, and frantically pawed at the ground with its four legs, but it was as if it was stuck in a swamp!
The ghastly green acid sprayed from the right side took a bizarre deflection the moment it entered the force field! As if pulled by an invisible gravitational force, most of the venom hissed and veered off course, severely corroding the concrete ruins beside it and emitting billowing white smoke.

Only a few drops of penetrating force were slowed and weakened, and easily dispersed by the force of Old Joe's roaring punch!
The earth-digging devourer that burst out from the ground behind had its terrifying suction force greatly weakened under the stellar force field, and its huge mandibles' biting movements became sluggish and clumsy.

Still shaken, Lü Chen rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding a fatal bite!
Only the scythe-clawed swift insects surging from directly in front, too numerous and of relatively low level, were slowed down by the force field, their speed greatly reduced, and their bladed legs became weak. However, they still relied on their sheer number to continue advancing like an ant colony stuck in the mud, hissing as they moved forward. They were less than five meters away from the front of the column!

"Hiss?!" Qin Hui, Lao Qiao, and the others felt the sudden lightening of the pressure on their bodies and the strange changes in the surrounding insect swarm, and instantly understood what was going on.

An incredulous elation erupted in his eyes! Aoko's new ability?!

"Clean up the weaklings!" Fang Qingyu's cold voice rang out without the slightest pause.

He didn't even need to draw his sword.

Facing the swarm of sickle-clawed insects that surged forward in slow motion, slowed down by the stellar force field, Fang Qingyu clenched his right fist!

Beneath the skin, dark red lava patterns suddenly lit up! Like flowing magma!

The immense blood and energy brought about by the second transformation of bone fusion erupted with a thunderous roar!

There are no fancy techniques, only the purest and most violent power!
boom--! ! !
A punch is thrown!
The air was compressed and torn apart in an instant, producing a muffled, extremely loud explosion!

The air in front of the fist even showed visible distortions and ripples!
An overwhelming force, carrying destructive molten lava energy, slammed into the swarm of insects like an invisible battering ram!
Bang! Bang! Bang—!
A series of explosive sounds, so dense they made your teeth ache, rang out!
Wherever the fist struck, dozens of sickle-clawed swift insects were hit as if by a high-speed train!
The tough insect shell shattered and dented instantly in the face of absolute power, like a fragile eggshell!

The foul-smelling liquid, mixed with the shattered insect tissue, sprayed and splashed wildly backward in a fan shape, like an exploding firework!
The power of a single punch!!!
They carved out a bloody, flesh-covered vacuum zone, more than three meters wide, on the black carpet of insect swarms!
The surviving scythe-clawed swift insects were blown away by the aftershock of the punch, crashing into their own kind behind them, causing a chaotic cacophony of hisses!
"Fuck!!!"

Qi Hao couldn't help but swear. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he looked at the terrifying effect of Fang Qingyu's single punch.

Is this even human?!
"Don't stand still! To the sides!" Fang Qingyu shouted, his figure already shifting to the side like a ghost.

On the left, the three black-armored charging insects, which were being held back by the stellar force field as if they were stuck in a quagmire, were struggling and roaring angrily.

Fang Qingyu spread his five fingers on his left hand, palm facing down.

The starlight surged, and a chilling, azure aura instantly filled the air! Moisture in the air condensed frantically, transforming into visible ice crystals and frost!
"Congeal!"

With a low shout, the azure chill, like a living ice snake, instantly coiled around the thick carapace of the foremost charging bug!

Click! Click—!
A sickening freezing sound rang out! The metallic carapace that the Assault Bug was so proud of was covered with a thick layer of shimmering, star-like, deep blue ice at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The ice spread rapidly, freezing its massive body and struggling limbs in an instant!
It transformed into a hideous insect-shaped ice sculpture!

Inside the ice layer, the insect's life force was instantly extinguished by the extreme cold!

Almost simultaneously with freezing the first head, Fang Qingyu's right hand formed a sword shape with his fingers together, and a blazing white starlight leaped from the tip of his finger!
"Burn!" *Sizzle!*
A condensed, almost tangible, blazing white line of fire, like a red-hot steel needle, shot with a piercing shriek and pierced the joint gap of the second charging beetle's carapace with unparalleled precision!
puff!

The hard shell melts like butter under extreme heat!

The blazing white sparks penetrated the insect's body and exploded with a roar!

"squeak--!!!"

The shrill, distorted chirping of the insects abruptly ceased! The charging insect was instantly ignited from the inside out, dark red flames mixed with starlight gushing out from the gaps in its carapace. Its massive body convulsed violently a few times before crashing to the ground, emitting a burnt stench!
The third charging bug, witnessing its companion's sudden transformation from ice to fire, revealed a human-like fear in its compound eyes and struggled to retreat.

But would Fang Qingyu give it that chance?

He lightly touched the frozen insect corpse with his toes, and his figure soared into the air like a hawk, finally drawing the Dragon Sparrow Blade!

Clang——!
The blade rang out clearly and melodiously. The jet-black blade was not wreathed in black flames, but instead flowed with pure, dazzling starlight that seemed to contain a galaxy!
The blade sliced ​​through the stagnant air, leaving a mysterious trail, as if it had drawn upon the power of the celestial bodies!

"Awe-inspiring!"

The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant! So fast that it defied the limits of visual perception!

The massive body of the charging bug suddenly stiffened!

A thin, straight, star-like crack stretched from the top of the hideous head all the way to the tail!

next second!
Wow——!
The sturdy insect shell, along with the flesh and blood inside, was neatly split in two along the starlight crack!
The foul-smelling juices and entrails gushed out all over the ground, the cut was as smooth as a mirror, and you could even see tiny starlight flickering at the break!
The three heavily armored charging bugs, which were enough to make ordinary small teams struggle, were frozen, burned, and dismembered like clay chickens and earthenware dogs under Fang Qingyu's first all-out attack after his breakthrough!

"My God!" Old Joe swallowed hard, watching Fang Qingyu casually sheathe his sword and land on the ground, feeling as if he were looking at an ancient beast in human skin.

But this is just the beginning!
Fang Qingyu's figure transformed into a three-colored lightning bolt that tore through the swarm of insects!

The Zhou Tian Star Field acts like the most solid barrier, slowing down and weakening most ranged attacks and close-range threats!
This allows him to move through the swarm as if it were empty!
The terrifying power, speed, and regenerative ability brought by the blood and qi of the Bone Fusion Realm make each strike far more powerful than before!

The bones are forged like lava, and the muscle fibers contain explosive energy!
The Starshine Force is not only heavy and domineering, but also possesses the terrifying attributes of fire and ice. When combined with the Dragon Sparrow Slash, its destructive power increases exponentially!
Fang Qingyu was like the Grim Reaper dancing amidst a swarm of insects!

Where the blade flashes, sparks ignite a prairie fire, and ice seals everything away!
The swarm of insects fell, shattered, and annihilated in droves!

The pressure on Qin Hui, Lao Qiao, and others was greatly reduced; they only needed to clear out the few remaining stragglers that had slipped through the net at the edge of the breakthrough force field.

Watching Fang Qingyu's godlike figure sweep across the sea of ​​insects with unparalleled skill.

Everyone knew perfectly well what Qingzi had been doing after the meeting ended.

The battle ended much faster than expected.

Centered on Fang Qingyu, the area within a radius of several meters was a complete mess.

Insect corpses littered the ground, ice sculptures stood tall, charcoal smoke billowed, and the ground collapsed.

The stellar force field slowly receded, but the lingering cold, heat, and suffocating stellar pressure in the air still left Qin Hui and the others with lingering fear.

Fang Qingyu sheathed his sword and stood there, the starlight, black flames, and lava patterns on the Dragon Sparrow Slaying Blade slowly fading away.

"Clean up the traces, let's go!"

Finally, a sound broke the brief silence.

This place is not safe to stay for long; the intense battle fluctuations will inevitably attract more swarms of insects.

The team quickly crossed the intersection strewn with corpses and continued speeding towards Central Park along the planned route through the abandoned residential area.

Inside a residential building.

The living room was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

The distinctive fishy-sweet taste of insect gland secretions, and...fear.

The dark blue restraints hummed, their light flickering like a giant, unstable soap bubble.

The dark blue restraints, like a giant, unstable bubble, tightly bound a millstone-sized "Shadow Hunter" with compound eyes flashing a violent red light in the center.

Each impact generates violent energy ripples and ear-piercing electrical noise.

Project manager, Dr. Lin Aoli, codenamed "Viper".

Fine beads of sweat seeped from the edges of his bald head, clinging tightly to his protective face mask.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the waterfall of data scrolling across the control panel, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement and tension.

"Quick! Engineer Zhang, increase the sedative dosage! Its nerve activity is still rising!" Lin Aoli's voice came through the internal communicator, carrying a suppressed excitement. "Team Leader Chen, your men stabilize the restraints! The more violently it struggles, the closer we are to our target! The remaining 'Life Weaver' primitive nerve cords in its body are extremely active!"

A young researcher, Xiao Wang, frantically operated the control panel, his voice tinged with unease: "Dr. Lin, the risk is too great! The core temperature of the restraint device is approaching the critical point! Moreover..."

"Shut up, Xiao Wang!" Lin Aoli interrupted him abruptly, his eyes behind the protective mask sharp as knives. "What do you know? Why do you think headquarters invested so many resources to send us deep into this hell? Just to catch a few insects to make specimens?" He let out a mocking sneer.

His gaze swept over the busy researchers and the two modified martial arts guards who stood guard like statues in the living room. His voice was low, yet carried an almost fanatical, seductive power:
"Think about it! 'Abyss Fate Weaver'! A Transcendent-level insectoid mother beast! What is its most core value? It's its absolute core that can produce billions of insect swarms and control them!"

He pointed sharply at the giant spider struggling wildly within the force field: "We captured this 'Shadow Hunter' because it was a guardian spirit that the 'Weaver' personally catalyzed and hatched using its own ganglia in its early days!"

Then, he looked around at everyone, his eyes gleaming with ambition and greed: "Imagine! When we successfully extract and replicate the core abilities of the 'Weaver of Fate,' we can transplant, and even cultivate, those priceless abilities! Cultivate more efficient, more powerful, and more controllable carriers! No longer these ugly insects! But more perfect, more humanoid biological weapons!"

"A humanoid queen insect! A walking swarm will! This is the true essence of 'creation'! This is our ultimate goal! What are a little risk compared to this goal?!"

A brief silence fell over the living room, broken only by the buzzing and scraping of the restraints.

Young researcher Xiao Wang opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent, his gaze fixed on the struggling behemoth within the force field.

Captain Chen and another guard remained expressionless, but their fingers gripping their weapons seemed to tighten, as if the future of the "humanoid mother insect" described by Lin Aoli was a huge temptation for them.

"Therefore!" Lin Aoli's voice was firm and decisive, carrying an unquestionable command, "We must spare no effort! Capture as many guards as possible, so that the success rate of the transplant will be much higher in the future!"

A cold wind whipped up dust from the ruins and swept across the balcony.

Fang Qingyu and the others crouched behind the broken wall, like rocks blending into the shadows.

Just now, Dr. Lin Oli's fanatical, greedy, and ambitious declaration in the living room of the building next door clearly reached the ears of every member of the team.

"Transplantation, humanoid mother worm"

Qi Hao's expression became extremely strange, a mixture of shock, anger, and an indescribable sense of absurdity.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Fang Qingyu, who stood beside him as silent as a statue.

The night wind blew a few strands of hair across Fang Qingyu's forehead, revealing his cold and deep eyes. In the depths of those eyes, it seemed as if starlight was burning silently, or as if lava was slowly flowing.

Qi Hao licked his slightly chapped lips, his voice extremely low, carrying a hint of uncertainty and a request for instructions, as he clearly asked:
"Qingzi, shall we take them down?"
