I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Amidst the explosions of the siege tanks in siege mode, a large number of infected were instantly blasted to pieces, their limbs flying away with splattered blood.

Infected creatures that get too close will be bombarded by the plasma flamethrower of the Hellfire Chariot. The ignited infected creatures wail and flail their limbs as if trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the flames emitted by the plasma flamethrower are not so easy to deal with.

As Guan Xing watched the images on the projection screen in the command center, he would occasionally fan himself with his feather fan. Teriri, noticing the expression on Guan Xing's face, asked curiously:

"Sister Stargazing, you look a little serious. Isn't the situation quite good right now?"

Upon hearing Teriri's words, Guanxing stopped fanning himself with his feather fan and looked at Teriri, explaining:

"Well, it does seem to be in our favor now, but it's hard to say what will happen later."

Teriri looked puzzled after hearing the explanation from the stargazer, who quickly explained to those present:

"We seem to have the upper hand right now, but if we don't clear out the infected buildings by the next day and so many enemies come out again, how long can our weapons and equipment last?"

Upon hearing what Guan Xing said, everyone realized something. Although they had sufficient weapons and ammunition, it would be difficult to conserve ammunition under the onslaught of so many infected.

Most importantly, they also need to clean up buildings during the day. Cleaning up buildings requires fuel and explosives to deal with the infected buildings, otherwise, the infected buildings will hatch a large number of infected creatures.

Fortunately, the planet Mainhof has a fast day-night cycle; it only takes a few hours for daylight to arrive, at which point they can set off.

Several hours later, as dawn broke over the horizon, the infected individuals exposed to Mainhof's high-intensity ultraviolet radiation were transformed into human torches, eventually emerging as a pile of charred remains.

Looking at the situation on the projection screen, Guan Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It seems there have been no unexpected issues, so we can proceed with the cleanup."

Theresa, who was standing nearby, looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked:

"An unexpected situation? What kind of unexpected situation are you referring to?"

In response to Theresa's question, Guanxing explained it to her briefly:

"It refers to the Zerg, or perhaps an even more terrifying infected. Alright, we have limited time now. Theresa, you and Youyou go with the cleanup team."

Theresa, who had been chased out by the stargazers, and Yuhaka, who had an "OwO?" look on his face, also went to call and command the cleanup troops. Helpless, Theresa could only take Yuhaka to command the cleanup troops.

The cleanup force will consist of Hellfire Tanks and Reapers. The Hellfire Tanks' flamethrowers can instantly ignite infected buildings. Afterward, the Hellfire Tanks and Reapers have high mobility and can quickly return to the base to avoid being surrounded by infected at night, which would be no laughing matter.

Ehaka and Theresa were also riding in the Hellfire Chariot. Although the Hellfire Chariot was said to be for single riders, Ehaka and Theresa, being petite, could easily squeeze into it.

Theresa, aboard the Hellfire Chariot, was also piloting it, leading a cleanup team to deal with the buildings. There were dozens of buildings not far from their defensive base, and the sight of those portable civilian dwellings overrun with Zerg creatures made Theresa look somewhat disgusted. She said:

"Hmm...it feels a bit disgusting. Okay, everyone, burn these things, and then let the Reapers blow them up."

Upon hearing Theresa's command, the drivers of the Hellfire Tanks used their plasma flamethrowers to ignite the infected buildings. The infected buildings were quickly turned into bonfires. Perhaps due to the nature of the buildings or the biological tissues, the buildings burned extremely fast. Before long, the biological tissues on the infected buildings became completely still.

Then the Reapers threw bombs to dispose of the charred remains.

Chapter 1069 [Unknown Alien Insect]

Amidst the explosions of the D-8 explosives thrown by the Reapers, the charred buildings were reduced to nothing but useless wreckage.

Looking at the cleaned-up area, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, looks like no infected creatures suddenly jumped out of the building~"

To be honest, Theresa seemed a little afraid of those infected. Although her world had non-human creatures like Honkai Beasts and zombies, at least those Honkai Beasts and zombies weren't as grotesque as the infected, who looked like zombies and biological weapons crawling out of Resident Evil and could make people lose their sanity.

After dealing with the infected buildings in this area, Theresa led the others to the next location. While they were clearing buildings in the next area, a message came from the Stargazing team.

"Theresa, your radar has detected a moving biological signal underground. Be careful. Although there is only one target, there is only one creature showing signs of activity. If possible, investigate what it is."

Upon hearing what Guanxing said, Theresa opened her communicator and replied:

"I understand. Where is the target?"

In response to Theresa's question, Stargazer sent a specific location and direction of the target. Theresa then gave orders for the Hellfire Chariots and Reapers to continue dealing with the infected buildings.

After arriving at the target location with Yhaka, Theresa opened the hatch of the Hellfire Chariot. The two emerged and looked at the empty space before them. Theresa glanced around at the bare ground and then asked Yhaka:

"Youyou, can you sense where the other person is hiding?"

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka nodded. Then, Yuhaka lifted her little foot and stomped on the ground. With a strong vibration, a huge, insect-like creature was pushed out of the ground by Yuhaka using a rock. The creature, which was about the size of a truck, landed on the ground with a cry of pain and then looked at Yuhaka and Theresa with a wary expression.

Theresa was quite startled when she saw Yuhaka find a large insect in the ground. She clearly hadn't expected such a large alien insect to be hidden underground.

"Wow! How can such a huge alien insect be underground??? Could it be the mastermind behind this infection?!"

"I don't know, but it doesn't look appetizing."

The unknown alien insect that Yuhaka had thrown out from underground was also very angry. It was clear that it didn't like being driven out from underground, so the unknown alien insect spat out a large amount of green, slimy substance at Yuhaka and Theresa.

Theresa was startled by what she saw and tried to use the Oath of Judah to defend herself from the attack. However, Yhaka had already prepared his attack. When Yhaka raised his small hand, he used his psionic energy to freeze the green slime sprayed by the unknown insect and then flung it aside. The green slime made a hissing sound when it hit the ground, indicating that it was highly corrosive.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the unknown insect was so frightened that it tried to burrow underground to escape. However, Yuhaka was not stupid enough to just watch the unknown insect burrow underground. Yuhaka raised its small hand and used its psionic energy to lift the insect up. The unknown insect, which was lifted up, could only wave its short limbs and struggle, but it was of no use.

After seeing that Yhaka had subdued the alien insect she had never seen before, Theresa contacted the Stargazer and said:

"Guanxing, I've found a type of alien insect I've never seen before. It's very likely that this thing is the cause of the outbreak in Mainhof."

In the distant command center, the stargazers were intrigued by Theresa's words over the communication.

"Could you connect the camera?"

Upon hearing what Guanxing said, Theresa connected her camera and sent the situation to Guanxing and the others. When Yuhaka saw Theresa filming, she raised her hand and gave a "yes" sign. Guanxing saw Yuhaka looking "OwOy" and the unknown alien insect being held up behind her.

Ignoring the clowning around Yohaka, Guanxing carefully observed the unknown Zerg behind Yohaka. Guanxing couldn't find any information about the Zerg in the Hyperion's database. He then sent the video to the Hyperion to contact Raynor and the others.

Raynor and his team were slightly surprised when they received the video from Yhaka and her group. Clearly, the Zerg had come up with some new tricks, which made Raynor and his team a little worried. Stetman was also very interested when he learned that Yhaka and her group had captured a live Zerg. He hoped that Theresa and her group could preserve the Zerg's corpse intact so that he could study it and see if he could find any clues inside the Zerg's body.

Upon hearing Stetman's words, Reno told Stargazer and the others to simply preserve the body. After hearing Reno's words, Eohaka used his psionic energy to burn away the brain and central nervous system of the unknown Zerg, instantly creating a dead Zerg.

After dealing with the bugs, Theresa and Ehka returned to the team to clean up the infected buildings. However, the Zerg corpse floating next to Ehka was quite conspicuous. Especially when they returned to the defensive position, the Rangers were drawn to the sight of the corpse floating behind Ehka, as it was the first time they had ever seen a complete and motionless Zerg.

After the Hyperion's transport plane arrived, Yhaka threw the body over to the transport plane.

After the transport plane took away the Zerg's corpse, the sky quickly darkened. As the last ray of light disappeared below the horizon, the monstrous howls rang out again. Guan Xing defended against the infected's attacks using the same method as before, but this time, one of the infected was different from the others.

Theresa and the others looked on with serious expressions as they watched the infected creature, dressed in Marine power armor, attack their defensive positions from a distance with an electromagnetic rifle. Clearly, the swarm virus was mutating much faster than they had imagined.

Chapter 1070 [The Aberration Strikes]

boom! boom!

Amidst the roar of the siege tanks' cannons, numerous limbs were flung into the air by the impact of the explosions before falling back down. However, the firepower of only two siege tanks was completely insufficient to stop the charge of the large number of infected. Due to the presence of infected marines, the plan to block the road with the Hellfire Tanks had failed.

Even the Hellfire Tank couldn't withstand the attacks from the infected Marines' solid steel needles and biological bombs, forcing Observer to raise the supply depot at the intersection to block the road.

Guan Xing, covering his chin with his fan and frowning, said:

"This is troublesome. I didn't expect those infected to produce something like this..."

Theresa was also watching those troublesome infected Marines. Unlike the infected who would stupidly rush over, the infected Marines would stand far away within their weapon's range and attack their lines.

Although the bunker's defenses are very strong, some attacks will still hit the firing ports in the face of a hail of bullets. It is almost impossible for a Marine to be completely unharmed if he is hit. Although the power armor is very thick, it is still mechanical armor after all. If the important parts inside are damaged, it may cause inconvenience or leave the armor unsealed. If an infection occurs, it will be a very troublesome situation.

Of course, if you're unlucky, a solid steel needle fired through the firing port might hit a Marine's mask, leaving him lying on the ground.

Just as Guan Xing was about to concentrate all the siege tanks' firepower on the infected marines, a creature far larger than the other infected emerged from the infected. Guan Xing turned the camera to the giant infected monster, and everyone in the command center saw the true face of the giant infected.

Before everyone appeared a gigantic infected creature shaped like a centaur. Unlike other infected creatures, this one had tumor-like growths all over its back. Its strong upper body was similar in size to a human's, but it was significantly larger than the upper body of a typical human.

However... no matter how you look at it, this large infected creature is definitely not someone to mess with, because its slender four legs are almost 3 meters tall, allowing it to easily step over its companions and walk towards the defensive line.

Upon seeing this, Guan Xing ordered the siege tank driver to aim at the large infected creature and attack. Hearing Guan Xing's order, the siege tank driver turned the cannon towards the "tall and strong" infected creature. With a loud bang, the large infected creature was hit by the cannon fire, and the explosion instantly shattered on the infected creature's body.

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, a somewhat damaged centaur-like infected creature appeared before everyone. However, this centaur-like infected creature was not dead. Instead, like a wounded and enraged beast, it charged towards the defensive line very quickly, kicking away any infected creatures that blocked its way as if it were a soccer ball.

Seeing this, Guan Xing was quite surprised that the centaur-like infected creature, despite being directly hit by the siege tank's cannon, remained standing and seemed quite energetic. This made Guan Xing feel somewhat troubled by the centaur infected creature. Subsequently, Guan Xing ordered the siege tank to attack the centaur infected creature again. The second bombardment blew the centaur infected creature into two pieces, making it utterly dead.

After dealing with the large, centaur-like infected entity, as if signaling a reaction, several more centaur-like creatures emerged from the darkness. Clearly, there were more than just one or two. Seeing these centaur-like infected, Guan Xing frowned and said:

"So it wasn't a special case after all? It seems the mutation rate of the alien virus is truly terrifying..."

Stargazer, slightly troubled by the alien virus, turned to look at Yuhaka, who was munching on snacks beside him, and said:

"Youyou, please take care of those troublesome infected creatures. When we get back, I'll treat you to fried rice and fried chicken wings."

"OwO!"

Upon hearing that the stargazer was inviting her to dinner, a large exclamation mark appeared above Yuhaka's head. Yuhaka then stuffed the snacks back into her storage space and raised her little hand, saying:

"Yoyo! No problem!"

As she spoke, Yuhaka ran out, and then Guanxing and the others watched the scene on the projection screen as the centaur infected were hit in the upper body one by one. Seeing this, Guanxing tapped her head with her feather fan and sighed, saying:

"It seems we'll have to trouble the chefs on the Hyperion again."

Theresa, who was overhearing the stargazing conversation, broke out in a cold sweat and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Isn't it you who made things so hard for them...?"

Hearing Theresa's words, Stargazer covered her face with her feather fan and said:

"Anyway, Youyou will go to the kitchen to find something to eat when she gets hungry, so ordering two relatively simple dishes now will save the chefs a lot of work, right?"

Teriri and Moonlight, who were standing nearby, also wore subtle expressions upon hearing their conversation, clearly indicating that they were already used to the dialogue between Stargazer and Theresa.

.............................................................

After daytime, thanks to Yuhaka, the centaur-like infected were dealt with before they even reached the defensive line. If those long-legged creatures were allowed to get close to the defensive line, those centaur-like infected could easily step over the defensive structures and rush in. They are a very troublesome bunch.

Fortunately, Youyou managed to eliminate the infected individuals.

Stargazer stroked his chin, looked at Yuhaka who was eating snacks, and asked:

"Youyou, how long would it take you to destroy an infected area?"

Upon hearing Guanxing's question, Yuhaka looked at him with a puzzled expression. After thinking for a moment, Yuhaka held up five fingers and pointed them at Guanxing. Seeing Yuhaka's gesture, Guanxing nodded and said:

"I see. Five hours is indeed quite fast for one person alone."

When Yuhaka heard what Guanxing said, a question mark appeared above his head. He looked at his five tiny fingers and wondered why Guanxing said it would take five hours when he had said he could take down the infected buildings in five minutes.

Chapter 1071 [Youyou After Demolishing the House]

Subsequently, Yhaka bombed a large number of infected buildings in an infected area. Seeing this scene, Guan Xing understood that Yhaka's five fingers did not refer to five hours, but to five minutes.

This made Guan Xing seriously underestimate Ehaka's strength. When he saw Ehaka sweeping everything away with his flaming greatsword in the command center, Guan Xing rubbed his forehead. To be honest, Guan Xing had not expected Ehaka to have such strength. Had he really underestimated Ehaka's destructive power?

On the projection screen, Yuhaka showed no signs of fatigue. The massive wave of fire released by his flaming greatsword blew away the surrounding infected buildings. The buildings disintegrated in mid-air, and the flames burned away the excess debris. The biological tissues of the infected were reduced to ashes.

In less than five minutes, Yhaka had cleared the infected buildings in the area. Theresa, who was not far away, was also dumbfounded as she watched the destruction Yhaka had caused. Theresa had seen someone use a fire greatsword before, but that person's use of a fire greatsword was no match for Yhaka's.

After Yuhaka dealt with the infected buildings in the area, he ran back to Theresa and said to her:

"Youyou's done playing OwO~"
