I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

In response to Theresa's question, Renault nodded and said:

"That's right, so we need to speed things up. If we get delayed, who knows what might happen."

Upon hearing Raynor's words, the group quickened their pace. When they arrived at the second target coordinates, Raynor and his companions saw the infected creatures they had encountered on the planet Mainhof. Theresa noticed the Terran Empire's insignia on the power armor of the infected Marines, clearly indicating that these infected creatures had once been members of the Imperial forces.

"Oh my God, so all the missing people mentioned in the previous report have ended up here?!"

As he spoke, Renault instructed everyone to put on protective gear before releasing the infected individuals—well, releasing them with a hail of bullets.

The number of infected here far exceeds the number detected by the detectors Reynolds carried, even more than the swarms they had encountered before. It's hard to imagine how so many people were brought into the tunnel worm network. Fortunately, apart from the tall, centaur-like mutants and the large, fat worm-like infected, the rest were easy to deal with, basically like targets.

The infected Marines with electromagnetic rifles might be a bit troublesome, but fortunately, their numbers were small, and with the help of Yhaka and the narrow terrain, the infected were cleared very quickly. The remaining mutants and infected became slightly larger targets under Yhaka's attacks.

On their subsequent journey, Yuhaka and her team encountered Banelings. Fortunately, these Banelings had not yet evolved into rolling scythes and were not moving very fast, so even the Marines could easily aim and take them down without much tension.

As they continued their advance, Renault received a communication signal from Warfield.

"Tsk... Are you there, Renault? There's another squad of survivors nearby... Tsk... Found them... Tsk... Rescue them... Tsk..."

I don't know if it's because we're underground, but the signal reception on Renault's end wasn't very good, but we could still generally understand what they meant.

"What did he say? It seems like he rescued them in the end?"

Upon hearing Renault's words, Tychus, who was standing nearby, jokingly remarked:

"Oh, I thought they were paying for the alcohol."

Well, jokes aside, the people still need to be rescued. After heading to the location indicated by Warfield, Reno and his team saw a large number of nest bugs constantly emerging from the tunnels. Although these nest bugs' claws are not strong and they are relatively vulnerable, there are more nest bugs than leaping bugs. Without enough firepower, it would probably be difficult to deal with them.

After Yuhaka and her group dealt with the tunnel bugs and bushes, the Imperial Firebats, who had been hiding in a narrow corner, emerged. Upon seeing Reno and the Imperial soldiers behind him, the Firebats breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's so good to see you. The cave ahead is full of insects, so please be careful."

Renault nodded in agreement with what the Imperial Firebats said.

"Okay, I understand. But there's nothing in the cave now except for bugs."

Well... just like Raynor said, there's nothing in this tunnel worm network except for Zerg.

In the ensuing operation, Yuhaka and her team fought their way through the infected. Along the way, they encountered a Thunder Beast that emerged from the ground. Before the Thunder Beast could even roar, Yuhaka subdued it and used it to clear a path for Reno and his team, which made things much easier for them.

Chapter 1130 [It has appeared! A super-sized Thunder Beast!]

At the second target location of Char's underground tunnel worm network, the second fusion device was successfully installed under Swan's operation. After the fusion device was installed, Reynolds said to the others:

"Just like last time, guard the perimeter and don't let any Zerg get close to the fusion device."

As he spoke, Renault directed everyone to guard their positions. At the same time, he instructed Yhaka to have the controlled Thunder Beast guard one of the road intersections and to set up Swann's turrets. Upon hearing Renault's instructions, Yhaka nodded in understanding and then controlled the Thunder Beast to guard one of the road intersections and set up turrets to protect the various road intersections.

Not long after, a large number of infected surged up like a tide, turning into charred corpses that emitted a burnt smell as they were spewed by Flame Betty's scorching tongues of fire. Among them were also many tunnel worms that emerged from underground and spewed out of the building, charging towards Reno and his group. Reno and his group's firepower was not to be underestimated, and they quickly shredded the emerging insects to pieces, killing the tunnel worms as well.

Just then, a huge footstep sound came from the distant cave. Soon, Renault and his companions saw two Thunder Beasts charging towards them. Seeing this, Renault quickly said to Yuhaka:

"Youyou! Use your Thunder Beasts to block them, don't let them charge!"

Upon hearing Renault's words, Yhaka controlled his Thunder Beast to intercept the two charging Thunder Beasts. The two Thunder Beasts, angered by being blocked by their companion, fought back against Yhaka's Thunder Beast. Suddenly, Renault and the others felt an earthquake throughout the cave. Yhaka then drew his greatsword-like Holy Sword and charged out, following his Thunder Beast to finish off the other Thunder Beasts.

After dealing with the Thunder Beasts, Swan's fusion device completed its preliminary work. Swan then called for everyone to leave the area. Reynolds instructed Yohaka to have the controlled Thunder Beast cover their retreat. Yohaka then controlled the Thunder Beast to charge towards the swarming infected.

After Yuhaka and the others had moved some distance away, a huge explosion and a strong tremor were heard in the distance. Reno, after confirming that the fusion device had been successfully detonated, breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Alright, guys, if we put in another fusion device, the bugs in the tunnel will be cooked."

Hearing Renault's words, the group redoubled their efforts and continued their march. After a short rest to replenish their water and energy, Renault and Yhaka led the way again. On their way to the final destination, Yhaka and Renault suddenly noticed something. Renault looked at the insect eggs in the distance with some confusion and said:

"Strange, why are there insect eggs here?"

When Renault wondered why there were insect eggs here, Yuhaka, who was standing next to him, looked up at Renault and asked curiously:

"Can we eat those eggs? O-O"

Hearing Yhaka's question, Theresa, who was standing nearby, sighed and said to Yhaka with a hint of helplessness:

"This doesn't look appetizing at all, how can we eat it?"

Yhaka looked puzzled by Theresa's answer, and Renault, having recovered his senses, said to Yhaka:

"Theresa is right, Youyou, those things don't look like they're going to taste good at all."

"Oh... Youyou understands. = - =......."

After getting the answer he wanted, Yuhaka immediately lost interest in the eggs. What a pity, Yuhaka had been wanting to try making some delicious dishes with those eggs.

"Alright, destroy all those insect eggs, don't leave a single one."

Under Reno's orders, the group began destroying the insect eggs. Some of the destroyed eggs hatched into Zerg, while others hatched into Infected. Although they didn't know why the Infected would emerge from the eggs, it didn't stop Yuhaka and the others from smashing them. After dealing with the eggs, Reno and his group continued their operation. They didn't know why there were so many insect eggs in this tunnel. If they didn't know where the Zerg's main nest was, Reno and his group would have thought they had stumbled into a hatchery.

It was at this moment that General Warfield's communication signal came through again, but this time Warfield's words made Reynolds and his men a little concerned.

“Renault… hiss… there’s another team ahead… hiss… their situation is… hiss… dangerous, you… hiss… be extremely careful… hiss…”

Hearing the message from Warfield's communication also puzzled Reno. Warfield hadn't told the two teams to be careful before, but this time Warfield's warning made Reno wonder. But soon, Reno understood why Warfield was telling them to be careful.

In the third Imperial group that needed rescue, Renault and his team saw a colossal Thunder Beast, far larger than a Thunder Beast, destroying the rocks blocking the cave.

"My goodness... what did this Thunder Beast eat to grow so big?!"

Upon seeing the colossal Thunder Beast, everyone wore expressions of astonishment, with Tychus's mouth nearly agape in shock. Only Stetman stared at the Thunder Beast with shining eyes, clearly intrigued by the appearance of the new Zerg.

"Sir, I think we can get some new Zerg samples!"

Tychus, upon hearing Stetman's words, also said to him:

“Very good, I will write these words on your tombstone later.”

It was at this moment that Renault's prepared communications received a distress call from an Imperial squad in the distance.

"This way! Help us!"

Hearing what the Imperial squad said, Renault looked troubled. He then turned to Yhaka beside him and asked:

"Youyou, can the method you used to kill the Savage Beast on Redstone Star kill this Thunder Beast, which is about the same size as the Savage Beast? Or can you control it without any problem?"

When Yuhaka heard Renault's question, he gave a look of =w= and said:

"No problem =w=~"

Upon hearing that Yuhaka had a way to deal with the enormous Thunder Beast, Renault and the others seemed relieved. It would be ideal if they could defeat the giant Thunder Beast, since they and Theresa really didn't know how to handle such a large creature.

Chapter 1131 [King Beast: I'm Frozen!]

After Yhaka charged forward, Renault and the others hid to avoid being discovered by the King Beast, the colossal Thunder Beast, while simultaneously dealing with the Zerg swarming in from behind to prevent them from harassing Yhaka.

When Yuhaka arrived behind the King Beast, the beast seemed oblivious to her presence, continuing its digging work on the piles of rubble. Behind the rubble, Imperial troops were firing at the King Beast's head, but... it was practically useless. The 8mm solid steel needles fired from the electromagnetic rifles of the Imperial Marines were barely able to penetrate the Thunder Beast's carapace, let alone the enhanced King Beast's.

Although the Imperial Marines' attack did not cause any damage to the King Beast, it did indeed enrage the behemoth that could crush them with a single stomp.

Yuhaka looked up at the behemoth that was many times taller than herself, then jumped onto its lap and started climbing. Renault and the others, watching from a distance, were completely bewildered by Yuhaka's actions. Theresa, looking at Yuhaka climbing upwards with a puzzled expression, said:

"Wait, what is Youyou doing?!"

Regarding Theresa's question, Yuexia, who was standing nearby, blinked and asked curiously:

"Sister Theresa, didn't you once see Youyou do something like... um..."

Seeing that Yuexia couldn't remember the name of the alien insect for the time being, Stetman held up a finger to remind her:

That's called the "Wild Beast".

"Yes, that's right, it's a savage beast! When Youyou defeated that savage beast that looked like a giant worm on Redstone Star last time, didn't Sister Theresa see how Youyou defeated it?"

Hearing the question from under the moon, Theresa looked a little embarrassed, scratched her cheek, and said:

"Uh... well, I didn't see how Youyou dealt with that beast back then either. By the time I got there, the beast had already turned into an ice block... But the only thing I remember is that there was a strong beam of light earlier, which was probably how the beast was dealt with, right? But speaking of which, will Youyou have caused the tunnel to collapse?"

Swann, who was standing nearby, explained to Theresa that:

"Don't worry, Miss Theresa. Even a small fusion device couldn't collapse this tunnel. The noise that little guy made certainly couldn't destroy this solid tunnel... well, I guess."

Approximately? Why add "approximately"?

Hearing Swan's answer, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, which only made them more frightened!

Everyone prayed that Yuhaka would go easy on them, otherwise, if the tunnel collapsed, they would all be doomed.

Then Theresa suddenly thought of something and said:

"Wait! Can't Youyou fly? Why is she climbing onto that giant thunder beast???"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, everyone suddenly remembered that Yuhaka could fly, so why did he climb onto the back of that large Thunder Beast?

This is a puzzling question.............

After Yuhaka climbed onto the back of the King Beast, he unleashed the holy lightsaber that had merged with the beast and stabbed it fiercely at the spine of the King Beast. The lightsaber-like blade cut into the King Beast's carapace, and then cold white mist emanated from the weapon in Yuhaka's hand. The King Beast sensed the abnormality behind it, but it was already too late.

Suddenly, pure white crystals began to spread rapidly from the spot where Yuhaka had pierced the King Beast's body. The King Beast, feeling its body being frozen, let out a huge roar and thrashed its massive body in an attempt to shake Yuhaka off. Unfortunately, Yuhaka was stuck to the King Beast's back like chewing gum on the sole of a shoe, impossible to shake off.

In less than a minute, the King Beast was frozen into a giant ice sculpture. Renault and the others, who were watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Yhaka had dealt with the King Beast. It seemed that Yhaka hadn't caused any trouble and collapsed the tunnel.

"Is this big guy really dead?"

Reno and the others, who were standing next to Yuhaka, also looked at the King Beast and asked the same question. When Yuhaka saw that Reno and the others looked a little incredulous, she stretched out her little foot and kicked the King Beast, which had turned into an ice block. With this kick, the King Beast, which had turned into an ice block, instantly turned into a pile of ice shards as high as a small mountain.

Seeing this, Stetman was so frightened that his goggles almost fell off. He quickly adjusted his goggles and looked at the ice shards on the ground that were once the King Beast, saying:

"Wait?! This isn't scientific?! How did they do that??? This completely violates the common sense of physics?!"

Before Yuhaka could say anything, Tychus nudged Stetman and reminded him:

"Alright, never mind why. There's a bunch of Imperial soldiers waiting for us to rescue them."

Studema, reminded by Tychus, noticed something and then raised a finger, saying:

"Wait, let me take some samples first!"

Seeing this, Yuhaka tilted his head with a puzzled expression, but soon stopped thinking about it and entered a brain-saving mode.

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

After rescuing the trapped Imperial soldiers, Reno and his group, along with Yuhaka and her companions, continued their mission. Soon, they arrived at a spacious underground space. The sight of numerous insect eggs surrounding this expansive space made Reno and his group feel uneasy. However, the location of the blasting fissure was within this spacious area, so they had no choice but to wait here for the fusion device to be installed.

After Swan secured the fusion device, he said to Reynolds:

"It's all set, Mr. Cowboy. Once the fusion device is working, we can get far, far away."

Hearing Swan's words, Renault nodded, but at that moment, a sharp roar came from all around the cave.
