Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

"Who was it that could take that half of my body away from me so silently?"

Tian Dao's heart sank slightly, realizing that the origins of these mechanical alien insects were not simple.

He is confident, but that doesn't mean he's arrogant.

"Did you find out?" Yuzhen asked when Tendou remained silent.

He was an alien insect, discovered even before the Heavenly Dao.

"Hmm... I'm afraid there's a hidden force at play behind this, pulling things along." Tendou replied to Yuuma, while supporting the weakened Kagami.

"I feel the same way you do. Next, I will start my investigation from the Zerg side."

Yuma glanced at Kagami, and as if understanding the will of Heaven, he knocked Kagami unconscious with a chop to the neck, leaving Kagami bewildered.

"I'm considering joining ZECT. ZECT is definitely involved behind the scenes with the Zerg."

Tendou didn't question why Yuzhen knew. In his view, friends only need to be trusted, and there's no need to ask too many questions.

If Yuzhen is willing to let me know, I will definitely tell him.

"If you need help, you can come to my house."

Tendou tossed Kagami to Yuuma, who easily picked her up with one hand and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"There's one more, don't forget." Tendou pointed to Kageyama lying in the mess.

"The ZECT people should be here soon. Let's leave Kageyama here; it'll give them an explanation." Yuuma looked into the distance.

At the end of the road along the church, several troop carriers were faintly visible.

"There will be many more opportunities to meet this kid in the future; he is determined to inherit the Royal Bee."

Yuzhen revealed some of the inside information to Tiandao.

"Is that so... the successor to the Royal Bee?"

After thinking for a moment, Tendou walked to Kageyama's side and put the armband that Yagura had thrown off on Kageyama's arm.

"We should go, or it will be too late."

Yuzhen hid behind the door. ZECT's car had already arrived outside the church. A large number of ant soldiers jumped off the car and surrounded the church.

"Too verbose."

Tendou stood up, waved his hand, and the beetle landed on his waist.

The two started accelerating simultaneously, and with Kagami in tow, they swaggered away from the crowd.

"breakthrough!"

Unaware that the three had left, ZETC commanded the Ant Soldiers to break through and discovered Kageyama, who was carrying the Royal Bee Transformation Device, in the ruins.

"Where's the corncarp? Has it disappeared?!"

Mishima pushed aside the ant soldiers blocking his way, his expression extremely gloomy.

"Report: Apart from this one person, no other living creatures have been found!" An ant soldier ran up to Mishima and reported to him.

Suppressing his urge to curse, Mishima waved to the ant soldiers, ordering them to carry Kageyama away.

He stood alone on a large rock in the ruins, looking around.

"Why did the Zerg suddenly attack this small chapel?"

He looked at the large hole in the wall and felt a chill run down his spine.

The previous struggle must have been extremely brutal, otherwise it would have been impossible to cause such great destruction.

"Even my best cornflower, which I nurtured, has disappeared..."

"I finally managed to get the cornflower to this location, the royal hive..."

He muttered to himself, his expression growing even more terrifying. He turned around and keenly caught sight of Kageyama being loaded into an ambulance.

"Hehehe... Good child, since the corn chariot is missing, I'll just have to use you as a chess piece and make use of you."

Mishima, thinking about the orders given to him by the protozoa, pushed up his glasses.

"I must successfully recover Kabuto."

Among the dense, dark mass of ant soldiers, Misaki and Tadokoro mingled together, anxiously peering into the church.

"Should we not have told Kagami this news?"

Looking at the bodies being carried out of the church, Misaki felt a pang of guilt.

"Good people are always blessed, I believe in Kagami." Tadokoro placed a hand on Misaki's shoulder, signaling her to relax.

But when Misaki's gaze focused on Tadokoro, she noticed that his other hand, which was placed in front of him, was trembling slightly.

The situation in Tadokoro was far from as peaceful as he had imagined.

"No, I have to go in and take a look!"

This was the first time that such a bold idea had come to mind, even though it meant disobeying the organization's orders.

"Misaki!" Tadokoro's expression turned cold, as if he had seen what Misaki was about to do.

"Our mission is to remain in place and not forget the orders from our superiors."

Hearing Tadokoro's words, Misaki bit her lip in frustration: "Mr. Tadokoro, are the organization's orders always correct?"

"I feel that the organization today is different from what it was back then—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was glared at fiercely by Tadokoro.

As a protozoan, how could he not know what the organization was up to?

However, the recent organizational changes have indeed left Tadokoro somewhat bewildered.

After all, he was a "dove" who had been demoted, and many things he should have known, he could only hear a few words from his friends who were also protozoa.

"In short, Misaki, remember this: to eliminate the Zerg, we must obey orders. This is a rule the organization must never betray!"

Tadokoro's words were very firm, causing Misaki to clench her fists.

Kagami went to the church because of her notification. If she couldn't see Kagami in person, the guilt in her heart would probably eat her to death.

"Heh heh heh, isn't it rather inappropriate for Tadokoro to be reprimanding his subordinates here?"

Mishima's annoying voice and irritating smile appeared behind Tadokoro. Tadokoro turned around, his face indifferent.

He didn't particularly like the human being promoted by this "hawk," because although the person was capable, he was too radical.

"Understood." Tadokoro nodded coldly, giving Mishima a cold look.

Mishima also knew Tadokoro's true identity and dared not be too willful in front of him.

Although the doves have been declining in recent years, it doesn't mean they have no influence. It would be easy for them to remove him from his position as a proxy.

He stopped going to Gekita and instead looked at Misaki with a smile.

"This must be Ms. Misaki, right?"

Similarly, Misaki disliked this smiling tiger, but Mishima held a high position, so she had to respond respectfully, "Yes."

"I heard your argument just now too." Mishima casually stretched out a hand, wrapped a strand of Misaki's hair around his hand, and whispered in front of Misaki's face.

"I have good news for Misaki: we didn't find Kagami's body. He might still be alive."

Having said that, he stood up without hesitation and shouted to the ant soldiers, "Fall back!"

The swarming ant soldiers quickly crawled back into the vehicle, taking Mishima with them, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

How credible is what he said?

Faced with a smiling tiger, Tadokoro was unsure of his chances.

Misaki ripped off the lock of hair that Mishima had touched, her face filled with disgust and loathing: "If he weren't my boss, I would have shoved a gun barrel into his mouth!"

With no outsiders around, Tadokoro stopped questioning Misaki and simply advised her, "Try to control your emotions, Misaki."

"Okay." Misaki had just agreed when the phone suddenly rang.

She quickly took out her phone, looked at the contact person on it, and her face lit up with joy.

"Hello, can you hear me?" A slightly muffled voice came from the other end of the phone.

Before Misaki could ask anything, Kagami's voice became extremely anxious.

"I am Kagami. I am trapped in a forest. There are terrifying things here, and I urgently need your rescue!"
