Chapter 114: Flying fireflies fight against the fire, a hymn of courage!
"Insect mother...you mean the queen of the black sickle insect group, right?"
Tyrese murmured.
Lin Yi nodded.
It seems that he may have made the right bet this time when he came to the Resistance Army.
As a native of Isdena, and having fought against the swarm for so many years, his understanding of them must be deeper than his own.
"The Queen of the Swarm will only be in one place, and that is Yogdrassil, the Mother Tree!"
"A hundred years ago, it could only rely on the vitality of the Mother Tree to continuously produce offspring. Once it leaves Yogdassil, it should die soon."
When Lin Yi heard this, he was not too surprised by the answer.
When he invaded the swarm's thinking network before, he had seen the huge World Tree.
"I know it's there, but now the question is, where is Yogdashir." Lin Yi said the core question.
Just over a day ago, Lin Yi not only sent out a swarm of insects to look for traces of Isidena's resistance forces.
He even followed the underground pipelines of the insect swarms that he had seen before, and began to trace their origins, intending to find the intersection of all underground pipelines.
That's probably where the World Tree is.
However, this approach ultimately failed.
It seems that the swarm is deliberately hiding the true location of the World Tree.
There was a hint of guilt on Tyrese's face: "Once upon a time, the Mother Tree, Yogdashir, was in the north of our Isidna continent. Our civilization and everything in the world originated from there."
"But after the insect swarm invaded, the entire Yogdashir has become their insect nest."
"A hundred years ago, when our resistance army was still numbering one million in size, we conducted a protracted crusade."
"We intend to kill the Queen of the Swarm in one fell swoop."
"That battle was extremely brutal. We killed Ix, the strongest insect emperor born by the Queen."
"But at the same time, our strength was also severely damaged. With Ix's restraint, the Queen was able to escape."
"Since then, the swarm has begun to transform Yogdrassil, and has even been able to move it across the continent."
"About thirty years ago, I once again went to the original location of Yogdashir. There was indeed a Mother Tree there, but it was a complete illusion and a trap!"
"Where the real Yogdashir is now, we... don't know..."
Tyrese lowered his head.
In the end, they seemed to be unable to help the Lord Knight of Apocalypse.
At this time, the adjutant Simon, who was standing behind Tyrese, took a few steps forward, saluted Lin Yi, and then said: "Lord Apocalypse, how did you enslave so many swarms of insects?"
"As far as I know, the insect swarms are connected by some kind of special neural thinking network."
"Can you use this to discover the Queen's true location?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "I do have a way to recruit some middle-level managers in the swarm as my servants and connect them to the swarm's thinking network."
"But if you want to use the Internet to find out information about the Queen, you will be expelled."
Tyrese and Simon looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
The methods of this Lord Knight of the Apocalypse really made them unbelievable.
But the next moment, Tyrese was shocked.
That prophecy kept echoing in his mind.
At the same time, Adjutant Simon, who was standing behind him, his eyes lit up even more, and his whole body trembled with excitement: "I think I have found a way..."
"Tyrese, Lord Apocalypse, please come with me."
Lin Yi didn't know what method they came up with, but followed Tyrese and Simon to the camp.
I saw Simon pulling out a box from the arsenal and placing it in front of Tyrese.
"Simon, what is this...?"
Simon took a hammer, inserted the wire connected to the hammer into the charging port, and charged the entire hammer.
Then he hit the big black lock on the box hard!
Under the action of electric current, the strong chitin lock instantly became brittle and broke. Simon opened the box smoothly.
A pungent stench hit the nostrils.
What was contained in the box were black, slightly trembling insect eggs.
"This is...the egg of a fallen insect! Simon, how could you have this thing!"
Simon resisted the stench and began to reach into the box, picked up a black insect egg and looked at it, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "Do you still remember the battle in Nekton five years ago, when we found more than a hundred boxes? This thing.”
"You ordered them to be destroyed, but Will came to beg me and said he wanted to study these eggs and conduct experiments, so I kept it secret from you and let him stay."
There was a trace of recollection in Tyrese's eyes.
Will...
He is the smartest person in the Ninth Corps, and the steam mechas that most of them now wear were made by him.
Unfortunately, he is dead.
"These fallen insect eggs can turn a person into a human, insect-like ghost in a short period of time. Only traitors would choose to swallow them."
"But Will has never stopped researching and transforming these eggs."
"The fighting power of the half-insects is much stronger than when we put on the mecha."
"His idea at the time was that if we could eliminate the control of the will of the swarm over the half-insects, and make some of the wounded and disabled in our regiment willing to take modified insect eggs, would they be able to become a special warrior force?" force troops.”
"Unfortunately, his research has only remained superficial and there has been no opportunity for human experiments."
"Until two years ago, there was a wounded man in our corps who was dying and about to die."
"He was Will's best friend. Before he died, he planned to help Will test his research results."
"So, he took the fallen insect eggs that were modified by Will."
"His injuries recovered in a very short time, and he was even able to connect to the swarm's thinking network and obtain a large amount of information about the swarm."
"Unfortunately, just when Will thought he had succeeded, two minutes later, his best friend went completely crazy and turned into a monster no different from those half-insect people..."
"Will ended up shooting his best friend in the head seven or eight times with a gun, and finally lay on his body, kneeling and crying."
"Since then, all of his research results have been sealed up by him. After he died in the battle, I have not destroyed these things and kept them until now..."
After listening to Simon's story.
Tyrese was shocked.
"Simon, you...what do you want to do?"
Simon held the insect eggs and said categorically: "I think the final meaning of our existence in the prophecy is to buy time for Lord Apocalypse!"
Lin Yi had been watching from the side, and there was also a trace of speculation in his heart at this moment.
Simon continued: "I am no longer afraid of death, Tyrese, and you should be too."
"In other words, the brothers who have fought with us until now are no longer afraid of death!"
"I want to swallow these fallen insect eggs, and in the 2 minutes when I can still preserve my own will, I will conduct a self-destructive bombing of the entire insect swarm thinking network, interfering with the will of those managers."
"Then let Lord Apocalypse find the real location of Yogdashir!"
Simon revealed all his plans.
Lin Yi was shocked.
They have resisted until now, don’t they just want to linger and trade humiliation for survival?
They just want to leave a flame and open up a way for their own civilization!
At this moment, they are actually willing to swallow the eggs that will turn them into monsters, just to burn two minutes of their lives to guide themselves on the way forward!
Lin Yi couldn't explain the complicated emotions in his heart.
Even though I know this is just a copy.
I also know that I will eventually return to Blue Star.
But the courage and fearlessness displayed by the last surviving humans in this world moved him even more!
The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!
