Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Insect Brain 1.0 Missing Memory

Xiao Jinsheng raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Even with Lou Yan Zhi’s demonstration.

What she saw wasn’t a cockroach ferrying her through the air.

Instead, it was the startling image of discovering a cockroach in her room, accidentally disturbing it, and watching it flap its wings and lunge directly at her face.

The worst part was that after the encounter, you couldn’t find its presence anywhere on yourself or in the room.

Only to discover two twitching antennae on your head or the nape of your neck when looking at yourself in the mirror later.

How was this any different from encountering a ghost?

Xiao Jinsheng waved her hand and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but this gift is far too extravagant for me to accept."

"If you’re determined to give something, maybe..." Xiao Jinsheng thought of a way to make Lou Yan Zhi reconsider. "Maybe I shouldn’t bind myself to Caicai, after all."

"Indeed." Without hesitation, Lou Yan Zhi kicked the cockroach at his feet into a pit in the ground.

He ran his fingers across the blade of his sword, a flash of cold light gleamed, and he raised his eyebrows with a smirk: "Anyone who collaborates with me, Lou Yan Zhi, deserves a gift that doesn’t diminish their dignity."

"A Seven Stars cockroach as a mount."

"Still too weak."

Xiao Jinsheng closed her eyes in speechless frustration.

She really wanted to slap him.

But then she remembered that Lou Yan Zhi himself couldn’t stand this persona he had crafted, and momentarily let it go.

However, Xiao Jinsheng and Lou Yan Zhi couldn’t carry on their conversation.

Even if some of his words weren’t intentional.

They still sounded like they were begging for a violent solution.

She instructed Caicai to disconnect the communication video, praying that, if Lou Yan Zhi were to gift her something, it absolutely should not involve the Insect Clan, especially cockroaches.

In just a few days, the Insect Clan had already taken over the towns inhabited by humans on the eastern side of the Mist Continent.

For the humans they encountered.

They were ruthless and cold-blooded.

Humans could only serve as food for them.

Even the parts they couldn’t consume still had other uses discovered by the Insect Clan.

Since the army of the Insect Clan descended upon the Mist Continent, Insect Brain 2.0 had emerged from Bai Yan’s mind.

As the member of the Insect Clan to arrive on the Mist Continent after Insect Brain 1.0.

The army invading the Mist Continent was naturally under its control.

Insect Brain 2.0 was reviewing the compiled data on the Mist Continent gathered by Intelligent Worms.

When it saw that humans on the Mist Continent who had awakened Superpowers, whether female or Beastmen.

Their corpses could be converted into a form of energy.

Insect Brain 2.0 pondered: "The same Superpowers, yet the differences between humans from the Interstellar World and humans from the Mist Continent are this stark?"

Clearly, the calculation standards for Superpower Levels among these humans were identical.

But why could humans in the Interstellar World only be eaten.

While humans in the Mist Continent could, beyond being consumed, also have their uneatable corpses converted into energy?

That energy was applicable to most of the devices in the Interstellar World.

Be it defense, attack, or everyday use.

Intelligent Worm: [Master, you were the first to arrive on the Mist Continent, you should understand it better.]

Intelligent Worm asked.

Communication between members of the Insect Clan, particularly high-intelligence beings like Insect Brain and Intelligent Worm.

Didn’t require verbal speech; within a certain distance, thoughts could flow unimpeded.

Regarding Intelligent Worm, Insect Brain spoke more seriously: "Insect Brain 1.0 died too suddenly, and the memories about Insect Brain 1.0 I received are partially fragmented."

[Was it that human Xiao Jinsheng who took the memories of Insect Brain 1.0?] Intelligent Worm speculated.

"It probably wasn’t her," Insect Brain replied gravely. "The missing parts of the memories I received are precisely the ones about Insect Brain 1.0’s alteration of her memories."

"We’ve already monitored her various data points."

"Identical to the Mist Continent and the Terminal."

"Preliminary judgment suggests that her existence in the Mist Continent is akin to the Terminal."

"She’s more like an undeveloped version of the Terminal."

"Therefore, the reason for Insect Brain 1.0’s missing memories concerning her is likely tied to the uniqueness of those memories."

"According to the data analysis, the lost memories from Insect Brain 1.0 are likely in the hands of the Terminal."

[The Terminal is an obstacle to our occupation of the Mist Continent.] Intelligent Worm reminded.

Its tone carried rage: [It has already consumed thirty million of our kind.]

Intelligent Worm: [It hides in the northernmost corner of the Mist Continent, where all the defenses are concentrated on Cloud Island. We can’t breach those defenses any time soon.]

Intelligent Worm: [The western part of the Mist Continent is shrouded in Poisonous Fog, completely blocking the advance of our battlefront.]

Intelligent Worm: [Data analysis shows that the Poisonous Fog in the Mist Continent differs from the collected data found in the Interstellar World.]

Intelligent Worm: [Mist Continent—Toxic Gas: 0.0, Radiation: 0.0, Poisonous Fog: 199.8]

Intelligent Worm: [Interstellar World—Average reference data across all systems]

Intelligent Worm: [Interstellar World—Toxic Gas: 79.3, Radiation: 86.4, Poisonous Fog: No discovered values of the same kind of energy, no reference data available]

Intelligent Worm: [Data analysis shows that the Insect Clan can endure up to ≤99.8 of Poisonous Fog intensity.]

Intelligent Worm: [Under the influence of Poisonous Fog, all life forms descending upon the Mist Continent from elsewhere have their abilities suppressed to a peak of 15 Stars.]

Intelligent Worm: [The western part of the Mist Continent is off-limits due to the Poisonous Fog.]

Intelligent Worm: [The northern part of the Mist Continent cannot be accessed due to its impenetrable defense system.]

"None of these problems are significant," Insect Brain sneered.

It spoke with confidence: "Xiao Jinsheng matches the data of the Terminal, so we can try utilizing Xiao Jinsheng to deal with the Terminal. Once the Terminal is eliminated, the defenses in the northern part of the Mist Continent will naturally collapse."

"The Poisonous Fog in the western part of the Mist Continent is similarly easy to handle."

"In this world, the Terminal has issued a task for humans to plant Purification Trees to dispel the Poisonous Fog."

"We can similarly use the human method and develop tools to defend against the Poisonous Fog."

With this thought, Insect Brain summoned images through Intelligent Worm showing the locations of Purification Tree saplings planted by humans in the eastern part of the Mist Continent.

Humans on the Mist Continent were busy fleeing to Northern Cloud Island.

At such a time, they wouldn’t care about the Purification Trees they had planted.

"Organize a team to locate Purification Trees and transplant them to the western part of the Mist Continent." Insect Brain issued the task: "Analyze the data on Purification Trees; we’ll need more purifying vegetation."

Through Intelligent Worm’s gaze, Insect Brain surveyed every corner of the Mist Continent under the crimson fog.

Seeing the Insect Clan methodically transplant Purification Trees originally planted by humans to the western region, Insect Brain smiled with satisfaction.

Humans could plant trees?

Why couldn’t the Insect Clan?

This universe’s life forms ought to operate and survive according to the order of the Insect Clan.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yan looked in astonishment at a centipede hanging hundreds of saplings on its body at once, digging pits one after another, planting trees at a speed so fast it left nothing but an afterimage.

The Insect Clan planting trees?

She wondered if her posture leaving the house today was somehow wrong.

Wasn’t the Insect Clan supposed to be invading the Mist Continent?

Why were they conducting green construction on the Mist Continent instead?

"Bai Yan, as an ally, your heart isn’t sincere." Insect Brain’s voice suddenly echoed in Bai Yan’s mind.

Bai Yan couldn’t even spare a glance at the centipede quietly planting trees.

She retorted irritably: "I’m confined here, unable to go anywhere, unable to do anything; where is there room for insincerity?"

Her current state felt no different than being locked in an insect nest.

"The Terminal secretly used the Star Map to send a notice to you humans, didn’t it?" Insect Brain chuckled.

Bai Yan’s heart instantly sank.

Maintaining her outward calm, she asked in confusion, "What notice? I know nothing about it."

"The Terminal instructed you to secretly move to Northern Cloud Island." Insect Brain scoffed, "The Star Map alone—do you think that could escape Intelligent Worm’s grasp over the information on the Mist Continent?"
