Chapter 499: Bullying Others with Power

On the forced-landing planet, the cloud layer was very thick, covering the sky. Even in the daytime, it was like night.

The dots of blue starlight were the butts of plasma bugs. If you stood above the sky, you would find that on this small planet, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Zerg.

What did hundreds of thousands of Zerg mean? It meant that each soldier needed to face at least ten Zerg. And in reality, if fighting alone, one warrior could challenge ten soldiers, which was not a problem. This was still when these ten soldiers had light weapons like submachine guns. If they were bare-handed, I'm afraid another ten wouldn't be enough for the warrior to kill. The weakness of humans was evident at this time.

However, humans had developed civilization after all. They were not bare-handed people. The weapons in their hands ensured that they could kill the enemy from a distance in large-scale operations.

"Killing these hundreds of Zerg doesn't have a too obvious effect on the entire Zerg army." Ye Nan murmured in a low voice, suddenly raised his head, and said to Rick, "I have an idea that can defeat the Arachnid Zerg on this planet as much as possible."

"What, really? Tell me." Rick heard this and immediately ran back, the excitement on his face directly revealed.

For the current situation, Rick also had a headache. The Zerg set up an ambush here. When they passed by this planet, they launched an attack fiercely. At least the fleet force-landed. From a certain point of view, these soldiers didn't complete the task and were punished.

However, at that time, Rick didn't think so much. Compared with the possible punishment from the military, the current situation made Rick more worried.

In fact, they were just a part of the army, with the goal of joining the front line. Now that something outside the plan had occurred, they were outnumbered. And surviving on the Zerg's planet while outnumbered, the consequences could be imagined.

So when Ye Nan said that his idea could defeat the Arachnid Zerg on the planet, Rick was so happy.

"Don't come up with any bad ideas."

A low voice interrupted. A soldier who looked like a big man scolded Ye Nan: "This is the Zerg's base camp. Wanting to defeat the Zerg, relying on us, is simply dreaming."

The big man's words shattered the hope that had been ignited because of Ye Nan's words.

Ye Nan looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a big man with dark skin being surrounded by several soldiers.

"You haven't heard my idea, how do you know my idea won't work?" Ye Nan lowered his tone, trying his best to make his voice calm.

"Won't work is won't work. Do you have any opinions?" The big man snorted coldly, a look of disdain appearing on his face. "With our strength, it's about the same to protect our own strength. As for wiping out the Zerg on this planet, it's better not to have wild fantasies."

"What you said is the achievement of one general, but the bones of ten thousand people?" Ye Nan said.

"The achievement of one general, but the bones of ten thousand people?" The big man chewed on this word and immediately showed a look of excitement. "Indeed, that's the truth. It's very incisive. Then have you given up your idea?"

Ye Nan heard this and shook his head with a smile. "You haven't heard my idea, how do you know my idea won't work?"

"You are really stubborn." The big man said angrily. The excitement just now was thrown to the back of his mind. "To tell you the truth, no matter how reliable your idea is, I won't let the soldiers take risks with you. We only need to clear the Zerg nearby and wait for rescue on the spot."

Here, he was the real leader, and Rick also had to listen to his orders, because his military rank was the highest. But just now, Rick took his place. Although it might be unintentional, he actually seized the big man's military power. Now Ye Nan was planning to take others to take risks, so he was unwilling.

As an old soldier, he knew very well the ferocity and terror of the Zerg. They simply didn't fear death, so the big man planned to wait for rescue here.

"I'll say it again, you haven't heard my idea, how do you know my idea won't work?" At this time, there was no smile on Ye Nan's face. He looked at the big man calmly, almost guessing that the big man was deliberately targeting himself. As for why he wanted to deliberately target himself, Ye Nan didn't know.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became deadlocked. Ye Nan wanted to say his idea, but the big man wouldn't let him say it. Rationally, everyone tended to Ye Nan, because the big man was purely making trouble. He didn't even give Ye Nan a chance to speak, which was really unconvincing.

The eyes of the crowd slowly shifted to Ye Nan. There were mostly pitiful eyes in them. They also understood that Ye Nan must have offended the big man somewhere, so the big man didn't want to give Ye Nan any chance to earn merit.

Rick saw the atmosphere was stiff and hurriedly stood out to mediate. "Major should still listen to Ye Nan's idea."

Like others, Rick tended to Ye Nan, but the status of this big man was very high. In theory, he was the superior of everyone. Offending him would not be good.

"So it's a major." A sarcasm curled at the corner of Ye Nan's mouth. "Major is so afraid that I will say my idea, could it be that he is afraid that I will earn merit?"

Ye Nan's words almost directly said "Do you and I have a grudge?" However, the people present all understood the meaning of Ye Nan's words. A few who didn't understand also felt the conflict between the two.

"Joke, would I be afraid of you earning merit?" The big man said with a stiff neck.

In fact, for Ye Nan, objectively speaking, although he was somewhat dissatisfied, it didn't reach this level. After all, he only looked unhappy because Ye Nan and Rick were close.

But the order from the military department made him make things difficult for Ye Nan, so he needed to complete it.

"This guy, I don't know how he offended those big shots, actually attracting the big shots' trouble." The big man thought in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but carry a trace of sympathy.

The military was the largest force in the entire Human Federation, none other. Offending them, Ye Nan's days in the future would probably be very bad. The big man understood that this was just the beginning.

"If it weren't for the military's instructions, I wouldn't be making things difficult for you here. But even if your method has any use, you won't get any merit."

The big man shook his head in his heart. Although he didn't believe that Ye Nan's idea would be so powerful that it could get rid of the current predicament and wipe out the Zerg, he didn't know, he couldn't let Ye Nan say it.

Not letting him say it, at most, it was his arbitrary decision, causing everyone's dissatisfaction. But if he let Ye Nan say it, and his idea was feasible, it would be a bit bad. At that time, if he insisted on not adopting Ye Nan's idea, it was very likely that this army of tens of thousands of people would split up. After all, he was just a major.

"Since you are not afraid that I will earn merit, why don't you let me say it?" The sarcasm on Ye Nan's mouth became even stronger. He was now 100% sure that the big man was doing it on purpose. As for why he wanted to do this, Ye Nan still didn't know.

"I just won't let you say it, so what?" The big man said stiffly. Since he decided to complete the order, he would tear his face. He didn't believe that in this team, there was anyone who dared to resist him.

Suddenly, it became quiet here, so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

Now everyone understood that the big man was deliberately making things difficult for Ye Nan and squeezing Ye Nan out. Although they were dissatisfied, they still didn't speak.

Perhaps the big man was wrong, but he was the highest-ranking officer in name after all. Even if they were dissatisfied, even if they wanted to complain, they had to wait until they returned to the Human Federation to complain to the military court. Before that, they had to obey the big man's orders.

Rick heard the big man's words and immediately hesitated. As a soldier, obeying orders was his duty, but Ye Nan was his friend, and Ye Nan had an idea in his heart to get rid of the current predicament, although he didn't hold much hope for this idea.

"Sure enough." Ye Nan sneered and closed his mouth. "Since you won't let me say it, then I won't say it. Sigh, it's a pity, my idea could let you escape from this planet, and even completely wipe out the Zerg on this planet, it's not impossible. Sigh, it's a pity, such a big merit, sigh."

Ye Nan kept sighing, inciting other soldiers to confront the big man.

"I..."

A soldier stood out and just wanted to speak, but was glared at by the big man, and he swallowed his words alive.

The big man who glared the soldier back was satisfied, turned his head, and looked at Ye Nan. "I won't let you say your idea. You can say I'm bullying others with power, but I'm just bullying others with power."

"Bullying others with power?" Ye Nan shook his head and said pointedly: "Those who insult others will be insulted by others. Today you bully me with power, maybe tomorrow I will bully you with power."

"Haha..." The big man laughed loudly. "Bullying me with power? You also want to bully me with power? It's simply too funny. You don't know, you offended... Uh!"

Knowing that he had let slip, the big man stopped abruptly and glared at Ye Nan fiercely. "Anyway, you have no chance."

Ye Nan ignored the big man and narrowed his eyes, scanning the surroundings. "I still say the same thing, my idea can let you get rid of the current predicament and can wipe out the Zerg on the entire planet." (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 500 =====

Realizing he had let something slip, the big man stopped abruptly and glared fiercely at Ye Nan, "In any case, you have no chance now."

Ye Nan ignored the big man, instead squinting his eyes to scan the surroundings, "I still stand by what I said: my idea can allow you to escape your current predicament and can completely exterminate the Zerg on this entire planet." (To be continued.)
