Chapter 305: 304

Even if the metal door could close immediately, when the Insect Clan was less than two kilometers away, the best choice was to place obstacles in their inevitable path, otherwise...

"Clang!"

A grating metallic sound rang out.

A metal sphere, finally spit out by one of the metallic insects, got stuck in the slowly closing metal door.

"Oh no."

Seeing this, Lu Zixun knew they probably couldn’t hold this position.

Under Cheng Tianxiang’s orderly command, the crossfire indeed kept the metallic insects outside the metal door.

But Lu Zixun, looking at the spent bullet casings scattered all over the ground, was wondering—just how many bullets were left?

"Tianxiang, only the last two magazines left!"

Though the barrage was holding the Insect Clan at bay, it also prevented team members from dealing with the sphere that jammed the metal door,

and now the bullets were almost gone.

Cheng Tianxiang, who used to think the Insect Clan wasn’t that terrifying as he planned strategies on paper, now had large sweat drops sliding down from his forehead to the tip of his nose.

A single member of the Insect Clan was indeed not terrifying, but once an Insect Tide formed, it was nothing short of a catastrophic disaster.

"We can slip away, what are we waiting for?"

Lu Zixun, swishing his tail, spoke indifferently.

From the moment the metal sphere jammed the door, Zixun had spotted an evacuation security door nearby, presumably left intentionally by Zeng Haoyang.

Now the bullets that could stop the Insect Tide were almost spent; were they waiting to feed the insects?

Though they weren’t real insects, to be clear.

"First team, fire!"

Staring intently at the Insect Tide, as the first team emptied their magazines, Cheng Tianxiang shouted, "Second team fire, first team move to the security door to evacuate and cover with gunfire."

Waiting for the last team to run out of bullets, without the barrier of gunfire holding them back, the Insect Tide surged over towards the metal door.

The quickly evacuating third team managed to enter through the security door just as the Insect Tide breached the metal door.

"Bang bang."

Listening to the relentless banging against the security door, the team members’ faces were ghostly pale.

Inside this security door, there was no way out except to enter the cold storage.

What was more fatal was that the security door was about to be breached.

"First team, go open the cold storage, second and third teams, hold the security door."

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Tianxiang issued commands in an orderly manner.

But only the spectating Lu Zixun knew that Cheng Tianxiang was actually panicking, with constant cold sweat on his forehead as proof.

"Tianxiang, the cold storage door is open!"

Wu Zhouyun, also drenched in sweat with urgency, exclaimed with a glint of joy in his eyes as he opened the door to the cold storage.

"Ding, ding, ding."

A dull thudding sound resumed, and metal plates used to secure the security door fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.

Cheng Tianxiang, who was backing against the door with all his might, panted a bit, "Third team enter the cold storage and cover with gunfire, second team follow and retreat into the cold storage, leave two people to close the cold storage door, and first team... cover the rear."

"Yes!"

Watching the highly efficient and orderly movement on the scene, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow in surprise—Cheng Tianxiang’s on-the-spot command ability was that strong.

"Deputy Captain Lu, you better get inside!"

Seeing Lu Zixun still standing outside and watching, Cheng Tianxiang shouted with urgency.

Returning to his senses, Lu Zixun fully played the role of an utterly powerless salty fish cat and scurried towards the inside of the cold storage.

"Retreat!"

Once the second and third squads had positioned their stepwise firepower formations, Cheng Tianxiang roared, and the first squad members shouldered their guns, quickly heading toward the cold storage.

"Zzzz."

A grating noise emanated from the metal bug’s mouth, and Lu Zixun raised his claws to cover his ears.

Why must it forcibly imitate the sounds of the True Insect Clan? Why can’t it just use the actual sounds?

Meng Yihao, temporarily in command, saw the security door get knocked down by the metal bugs and suddenly pulled the trigger, "Fire!"

Concentrated firepower pushed back the incoming bugs, and all members of the first squad successfully entered the cold storage.

"Ding, congratulations on completing the second mission. There is an agent on the right side to restore Spiritual Energy; after all members use it, the third mission will commence."

In the coldness of the cold storage, a gentle feminine voice sounded.

Cheng Tianxiang’s tense mood eased a bit, and his legs went weak as he suddenly sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

Looking up, he noticed Wu Zhouyun, Meng Yihao, and the faces of other squad members were all similarly strained.

Cheng Tianxiang paused and then burst into laughter.

Laughter gradually filled the cold storage, where comrades, who were previously strangers, now seemed to grow much closer after a single battle.

Seeing this, Lu Zixun shook his head with a smile, recalling that he and Xiong Kang had experienced similar camaraderie.

"Old Cheng, you’re awesome."

Wu Zhouyun gave Cheng Tianxiang a thumbs-up, saying sincerely, "With the situation so chaotic just now, you still commanded so well. Truly awesome, no words needed."

Seeming to feel that the praise from one person wasn’t enough, Wu Zhouyun turned to Meng Yihao, "Old Meng, right?"

"Yeah."

Meng Yihao’s response was colder, but the admiration in his eyes couldn’t be masked by his aloofness, "If I had to command at that time, I couldn’t have done as well as Tianxiang."

"Yeah, Captain Cheng is really something."

"Marry me, my male god, marry me."

"Ah~ the male god looked at me, I’m going to faint."

Previously a bit embarrassed, Cheng Tianxiang couldn’t help but laugh at the silly comments, shaking his head and saying, "Stop joking around, quickly drink the agent and commence the next mission."

Holding a vial of the Spiritual Energy recovery agent, Cheng Tianxiang approached Lu Zixun with a smile, "Deputy Captain Lu, this is for you."

"You’re quite impressive."

After praising Cheng Tianxiang, Lu Zixun took and crushed the vial.

The chilly vapor seeped out, freezing the liquid into little ice blocks, floating above his head.

He controlled the ice to drop into his mouth.

Lu Zixun’s body floated up, standing on Cheng Tianxiang’s shoulder, "But there are some details you didn’t handle well, and a key issue is that you greatly underestimated the Insect Clan."

"I know."

Cheng Tianxiang smiled wryly, without any resentment and somewhat disheartened, "I just didn’t expect the Insect Clan to be so fierce."

To give a stick and then a sweet date was something Lu Zixun knew how to do.

He patted Cheng Tianxiang’s head and said, "It’s not a big problem. Among those of your age, you’ve already done fantastically."

"Everyone recover your Spiritual Energy now, and get ready to head out."

Surveying everyone, Lu Zixun, who had been in "Invisibility" the whole time, issued his first command.

At first, he thought they were just a bunch of weaklings, useless and only capable of dragging their feet.

But the actions of these three squads eventually showed Lu Zixun a reflection of himself and Xiong Kang.

After all, who hasn’t progressed from that phase of being useless?

Giving a slight smile, Lu Zixun decided to properly lead this team.
