Chapter 502: The Weird Base

~10 min read 1,846 words

The argument was still going on. I don't know if it was because Ye Nan's marksmanship deterred the commander hiding in the dark, but the Zerg didn't come to attack them.

Time passed bit by bit. The argument had changed from the initial roaring to a cold war. Neither of them was willing to soften, and neither was willing to bow their heads to the other.

Rick wanted to protect most of the soldiers, insisted on going to the Zerg's nest, and catching the brain bug hiding in the dark. Only in this way would the bugs on this planet be a mess, and then they could easily besiege the bugs without worrying about the Zerg's counter-siege.

The big man didn't think so. He wanted to prevent Ye Nan from earning merit, and even if necessary, kill Ye Nan as a "letter of recommendation," completely joining the big shot of the military and working for him wholeheartedly.

Both of them wanted the other party to do as they thought, but at the same time, neither wanted this team to split, so they inevitably had to suppress the other party.

Just wanting to suppress was not an easy thing. Rick's military rank was not high, but his prestige was high. The big man's military rank was high, but his prestige was simply insufficient.

"If I had known, I would have commanded at that time." The big man thought in his heart. If he hadn't been stunned at that time, he wouldn't have failed to react, letting Rick take the lead. He didn't expect that letting him take the lead would cause such a big trouble.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let him follow." Rick was also regretting in his heart. If he had insisted on not letting the big man follow, the current situation wouldn't have been caused.

Looking at them, Ye Nan's idea of working alone became more and more intense. For him, following behind these people would not only not give him help, but would also make him fall into a predicament. After all, so many people were a big piece of fat in the eyes of bugs.

"It seems necessary to leave. Ilis's side is also about to launch a rebellion." Ye Nan pondered, and finally made up his mind to work alone and go find the brain bug.

"Wait, there is a distress signal, it's a distress signal from a large base."

The communications soldier suddenly said, not only interrupting the cold war between Rick and the big man, but also interrupting Ye Nan's idea of leaving.

"Distress signal, how could there be a distress signal here." Rick hurriedly walked over.

This was not Big K Star, not the main battlefield, but the Zerg's base camp. According to reason, there shouldn't be a distress signal from a large base.

"A bit weird." Ye Nan suppressed the idea of leaving in his heart. Like Rick, he didn't think there would be any large base here, but since it appeared, it must exist.

"Let's go, let's go see." Rick greeted everyone, and after speaking, he turned his head and said: "By the way, Major, you wouldn't intend to ignore the distress signal, would you?"

The big man was said by Rick, and his face turned blue and white. When a distress signal was found, anyone had to go to the rescue. This was one of the military's guidelines. If he disobeyed, after returning, he would be in trouble. After all, he was not the only one here.

"How could I not go to the rescue." The big man said awkwardly. At this time, Rick occupied the name of righteousness. If he blocked it again, no one could save him.

"Anyway, follow and see, maybe there is something inside." Ye Nan immediately followed behind the crowd and walked over together.

Walking to the rescue location, what came into view was a small base. The white metal was particularly dazzling in the dim world.

"Everyone be careful, there may be other enemies inside." Rick warned softly, stood on tiptoe, and walked in quietly.

Others heard this and followed suit, following behind Rick and walking into the base.

"This base is very strange, as if something is attracting me inside. What exactly is it?"

From the moment he walked into the base, Ye Nan felt that there was something in the base attracting him. This feeling was very subtle, just like the hazy attraction of a woman to a man, unspeakable.

Ye Nan opened his mental power, wrapped the entire base, and penetrated inside step by step. But the mental power that had been invincible before encountered obstruction at this time.

The entire base was like a mud swamp. His mental power fell into it and felt a force of attraction, firmly restraining his mental power.

"This base is so weird." Ye Nan's heart sank. The mentality of playing in the world was also put away, replaced by caution and calmness.

"Everyone be careful."

This was Rick's second warning. From the moment he walked into this base, Rick felt that something was wrong, as if many unknown creatures were hiding in the dark and peeping at him. This feeling made him feel great pressure.

"No need to be so nervous." The big man said lazily. Although he also felt pressure, he was unwilling to let Rick's prestige continue to increase. And to eliminate his prestige, replacing him and issuing orders was the simplest way.

"Although the bugs have brain bugs in control, how many bugs can the brain bug control? It can simply issue orders, which is already great."

"The bigger the battle, the busier the commander is. Besides issuing some general orders, they have no other role."

"So everyone doesn't need to be too careful. Bugs are just bugs after all. Even if they lurk, they will be discovered by us." 【50

After the big man finished speaking, he felt that what he said made a lot of sense and that he had a talent for command. In his mind, as long as he gave the order, he could control the other soldiers, and in fact, this was the case; after the big man's order was issued, the soldiers hesitated.

One was the nominal supreme commander, the other was the actual supreme commander; when the orders of the two conflicted, everyone felt at a loss.

However, this "everyone" did not include Ye Nan.

When Rick and the big man were having another dispute, Ye Nan left the team without hesitation and walked forward alone.

"What are you doing, Ye Nan?" Rick chased after him in a few strides and grabbed Ye Nan, "Be careful, don't act on your own."

"You actually ignore my orders," the big man said unhappily, "In war, do you know what kind of crime it is to disobey a superior's order? Even the Kerris behind you cannot protect you."

There was no lack of intent to provoke Ye Nan in the big man's voice; as long as Ye Nan left, it would be equivalent to him seizing a handle on Ye Nan, and then he could report him to a military tribunal, at which point he would be at his mercy.

"No need to worry," Ye Nan smiled slightly and said to Rick. As for the big man, he was too lazy to even pay attention to him. The thoughts he had at the time had long since been thrown to the back of his mind. All that talk about using power to bully him and making him die in shame—these were just things he wanted to find some amusement in at the time. Now that he had encountered real business, he was in no mood to continue finding amusement.

The big man did not know Ye Nan's current thoughts, and he continued relentlessly: "I'm telling you, after you leave, I will report you to a military tribunal. My word stands right here."

As he spoke, the big man looked at Ye Nan with contempt, as if he were waiting for Ye Nan to surrender.

He knew that for a prickly person like Ye Nan, the more you said you would punish him, the more rebellious he would become, thereby letting you seize a handle; he simply could not stand being looked down upon in the slightest.

"Impulsive, hurry up and leave," the big man prayed in his heart. For some reason, he felt time growing slower and slower. While Ye Nan did not speak, he actually felt uneasy in his heart, just like a prisoner facing judgment.

"As you wish." Ye Nan sneered and turned to leave. He was, of course, clear on the big man's thoughts, but he had no heart to play with this big man at this moment; he only wanted to go and find that thing that was attracting him.

"Wait, Ye Nan, don't be provoked," Rick shouted from behind, but the result was only being able to watch Ye Nan walk further and further away.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Ye Nan had no intention of stopping his footsteps; in fact, his pace grew more urgent, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the darkness.

After all, he was different from Rick; his secrets could not be discovered by anyone, and he did not want to reveal his strength in front of these aliens.

Beneath the metal walls were ferocious monsters; their sharp forelimbs and the terrifying fangs in their mouths all displayed the cruelty of these monsters, only these monsters were now wrapped in a layer of thick, liquid substance, like amber.

"When amber shatters, the creatures inside can fly out. I wonder if, after these liquids shatter, the monsters inside can come out." Ye Nan's psychic power expanded and touched these liquid substances, but it was like encountering an invisible wall, unable to advance even half an inch.

"I didn't expect psychic power to encounter such a great obstacle here." Ye Nan sighed. Psychic power had always been his trump card, but now it had encountered obstacles here one after another, forcing him to become cautious.

"Ye Nan." A voice from the nether suddenly linked with the psychic power Ye Nan had released, transmitting it over.

"Who, who is calling me?" Ye Nan's expression changed drastically, his whole body tensing up, ready to enter a combat state at any moment.

"It's me, Ye Nan, I am Death, come save me."

"What?" Ye Nan was greatly shocked in his heart. This voice was exactly the voice of Death. Ye Nan asked hurriedly, "Death, where are you?"

"I am in the middle of the base, hurry up and come save me." Death's voice became urgent.

"I'm coming right away." Flames wrapped around Ye Nan's entire body, and he was like a meteor, crashing through the base. Whatever blocked him on the way, whether it was tempered glass or steel walls, all melted away. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where Death's voice originated. (To be continued.)
