Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 266 - 265 Hive Number Two

This wasn't even the largest land-based war machine. To counter the formidable Insect Race, humans had crafted an even more massive "Land Battleship," whose main cannon bore an outrageous caliber of 1,000mm!Inside the land cruiser's main control room, the seat of highest authority, akin to a throne, was perched high upon a platform.

Surrounding it were twelve seats, with another eight seats in each of the four directions further outward.

In the central position sat a young and promising officer, Nan Minghuo, the brigade commander of the Chu-Xiang Mixed Brigade.

The thirty-two individuals on the outermost layer were the drivers of the land cruiser and were also responsible for the weapon systems of the entire massive war machine. ic levitation motorcycles, and the other employed single-soldier propeller-driven flyers.

With Nan Minghuo's bear-like demeanor, the reconnaissance cavalry under his command, naturally, used the heavily armed magnetic levitation motorcycles!

Soon, accompanied by the heavy HUM of their magnetic motors, a twelve-member reconnaissance cavalry unit detached from the main brigade and sped towards the coordinates.

Nan Minghuo stroked his thick beard, considered for a moment, then ordered, "Temporarily slow your advance. Maintain a speed of thirty kilometers per hour."

"Yes, sir!"

For the swift magnetic levitation motorcycles, thirty kilometers was a distance covered in mere minutes. Real-time footage was patched directly into the land cruiser's main control room. Nan Minghuo, perched high on his "throne," watched, dumbstruck, at the valley carpeted with Insect Race corpses!

The entire main control room was deathly silent. Hundreds of Troop Nest Beetles, dozens of Skyrocketing Insects, and countless Ghost Claw Insects, Armored Beetles, and more lay dead...

Nan Minghuo felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly asked his scout, "Are you certain this Insect Nest has been eradicated?"

The scout confidently replied, "Confirmed, Commander! The site has indeed been cleared!"

Before he could finish, an insect resembling a massively enlarged flea suddenly leaped into the video feed, roaring and howling, looking as if it were about to devour someone.

The reconnaissance cavalry were elites among elites, their heavily armed magnetic levitation motorcycles equipped with top-notch gear. This huge insect's appearance startled the staff officers watching in the control room, but the cavalrymen on site remained calm and collected. They strategically retreated to create distance while unleashing a continuous barrage of focused fire. Under a relentless barrage from vehicle-mounted missiles and ray grenade launchers, the giant flea shrieked in agony and soon collapsed.

Seeing the creature, several dozen meters long, collapse, the reconnaissance cavalrymen could hardly believe it. Is this beast feigning death? Playing a trick?

But after they tested it a few times with their ray grenade launchers, it was confirmed: truly dead!

The captain drove his motorcycle forward, kicked the giant insect, and remarked disdainfully, "So it was just a flashy weakling, all bark and no bite."

But Nan Minghuo, observing on the main screen, had a different take. Although that large insect looked ferocious when it lunged, it didn't seem like a genuine attack... More like... it was terrified!
