Chapters 1-3: The Ultimate Kill Order

At the Cross Stadium, Caranio stared at the transparent dome, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The first attempt to bind the native beasts and trap the insects inside the high-temperature fire was very effective, greatly boosting morale. However, the second wave was less successful. It was clear that many insects only hovered around the area and did not gather around. To be precise, they stayed at most in the outer area of ​​the transparent shield and did not step into the trapped area.

These insects are indeed quite intelligent, which is a real headache for Kalanio. Their opponents have always been humans and viruses, and they've never faced creatures like these before. They've slaughtered humans indiscriminately, and their repeated experiences with viruses have given most of the "venomous" humans resistance. But facing these insects, Kalanio is powerless to stop them and can only hope that the research base can come up with a solution as soon as possible.

From the moment he started speaking, Caranio had a bad feeling, even a sense of foreboding.

For so many years, from fighting his way out of the V sector all the way to creating "Venom," he had never felt like this before.

Suddenly, Karanio's communicator rang. A terrified, trembling voice came from the other end: "Your Majesty, the base is destroyed! The research base is destroyed!!"

Caranio felt as if a bucket of ice shards had been poured directly over his head, chilling him to the bone.

Taking a deep breath, Caranio tried to find the right words, "Didn't I tell you to activate the protection system to its highest level, with life signal detectors handling the external scan?!"

As he finished speaking, Kalanio practically roared, and the once noisy crucifixion ground fell into a deathly silence. Even the native beasts bound to the crosses seemed to be paralyzed with fear, remaining completely still. The entire crucifixion ground was suddenly enveloped by Kalanio's rage and murderous intent.

  

Bang!

Listening to the report from the communicator, Kalanio couldn't control himself and crushed the communicator. His two pairs of fangs were almost parallel to the ground; everyone in the "Fang" faction knew this was when Skeleton King Kalanio was at the height of his rage, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

Caranio sat in his chair, his eyes clouded with gloom.

"Let's continue on the field." After saying that, Caranio got up and left, leaving the group of little fangs looking at each other in bewilderment.

After leaving the stadium, Caranio went to an isolation room, took out a communicator, and connected to the signal.

"Are those researchers still around?" Caranio asked, naming several key figures who led research on the small parasite and the "bird of paradise."

However, the report from the other side completely shattered Caranio's hopes. Of the five researchers who led the study of the two insects, only one had survived by sheer luck. But even that was just a survival; it was unknown how long he could hold on, as the sole survivor was also critically injured. A "Bird of Paradise" had bitten through his lung, and his liver and kidneys had also been damaged. The other researchers who escaped desperately tried to save him, forcing the "Bird of Paradise" out of his body, but everyone knew that without equipment and the relevant materials from the experimental base, it would be very difficult for this person to survive.

The research lab studying the two insects is located at the very back of the base, in the most enclosed laboratory. However, it was also the first place to be affected by desertification. It was fortunate that they were able to escape, but there was nothing they could do, as there were still hungry "birds of paradise" waiting outside the base that had just hatched.

All the information, all the relevant research results, even if they are not the final research results, have been carried out to a certain extent and will be analyzed sooner or later. All of this will become sand.

Xilin wanted to see them pushed step by step toward the precipice of despair, to be punished in panic and despair.

Karanio is now certain that everything was orchestrated by Xilin, that seemingly honest but actually devilish young man who brought them disaster. Unable to capture Xilin, Karanio wanted to target Amus and Vachin, but he couldn't. Without the right weapons and equipment, he was completely helpless against Amus, and it would only be a waste of manpower.

Caranio regretted that "Venom" had relied too much on Emus over the years. He didn't realize it until he separated Emus from him, and then he discovered that Emus's influence was everywhere.

After careful consideration, Caranio issued the highest kill order for "Venom," setting aside all other matters and pursuing Sirin at all costs. Since Sirin was able to bring these insects while remaining unharmed by them, it meant he had a way to deal with them. The experimenters were no longer a viable option, so Caranio placed his last hope on Sirin, while simultaneously letting every member of "Venom" know that Sirin possessed a method to avoid the insects. The little fangs searched even more diligently.

At this moment, Xilin, whom Karanio hated to the core, brought Gray Cat to a deserted airfield. This airfield had been abandoned by Karanio and was occupied by a few aircraft and a few fighter jets.

"Both the aircraft and the fighter jets have self-destruct programs and remote-controlled bombs. The main control terminal should be in the hands of Karanio. If we take off in an aircraft or fighter jet, it will explode like fireworks in less than two seconds." This was also a trap set by Karanio after Akai and the others left in the aircraft, to control the aircraft and fighter jets so that even if he couldn't catch them, he wouldn't give Xilin and the others a chance to escape.

Xilin's words undoubtedly made the gray cat, who was preparing to play with a flying machine, retreat far away. Now the gray cat has a fear of many human weapons. The more it comes into contact with them, the more it knows that there are enough human weapons that can make this extremely rare cosmic miracle creature disappear into nothingness.

After inspecting the area, Xilin boarded an aircraft. Those who could escape fled, while those who couldn't became food for the "Bird of Paradise." A person who had been half-lying at the entrance of the passage and hadn't managed to avoid the "Bird of Paradise's" fangs had been devoured beyond recognition.

As Xilin approached him, a Bird of Paradise egg was hatching inside him. The emerging Bird of Paradise were excited to see a living human, but they stopped short of attacking. This human possessed a peculiar aura that made them hesitate, yet he also felt a familiarity, like a mother's womb. Either way, it extinguished their desire to attack. As for the gray cat, the Birds of Paradise didn't dare to attack it at all. This unusual life form was too dangerous. The baby Birds of Paradise obediently crawled out and went to find other life forms.

"Alright, let's go," Xilin said to the gray cat.

"What exactly did you do?"

"It's nothing, I just took the energy cubes inside."

The gray cat suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Is there anything else of value? We can sell it for a good price to pay off our debts when we leave this place."

Xilin chuckled and patted the cat's head. "That's all. Let's go. To the next ship."

"Hehe, okay, what's mine is mine if I get it first!"

"Everyone go find your own way. Be careful not to touch any other power units. If you accidentally start the aircraft, I'll just have to put up another cross here."

"I know, I know, you don't need to tell me about mechanical ones." The gray cat flicked its ears and went to search for energy blocks inside other aircraft and fighter jets.

Poor Caranio, he originally set a trap, but he never expected that Xilin and Gray Cat would extract the last bit of value from him.

Xilin glanced at the sky; the hunt was about to begin according to plan. He tore off the skull insignia from the chest of the man whose face had been gnawed beyond recognition by the "Bird of Paradise," and stepped out of the aircraft.
