Hail the King

Ordinary heavy weapons could only kill a low-level bug with dozens of bullets. The only effective way to threaten the bugs was to fire at them continuously without stopping.

The situation was getting more and more severe, and the young military officer’s frowning intensified.

Everyone could tell that the bugs were evolving. As time passed by, the bugs that appeared outside the city got larger and larger, and their defensive capabilities also improved. Mixed amongst these bugs, there were those monsters that were agile and fast like monkeys. They could easily climb up the defensive walls that were hundreds of meters tall and butcher the soldiers!

Many helicopters flew in the air and dropped napalm bombs which were incendiary mixtures of gelling agents and volatile petrochemicals such as gasoline, burning the bugs on the ground.

Also, radio waves were quickly traveling in the air, issuing different commands. The soldiers in every location of the city felt immense pressure.

“Old Six, how is the situation on your side?” a hoarse voice sounded through a military walkie talkie.

The young military officer sighed and said, “My group is still holding on. However, even if we have enough bullets and bombs, I’m not sure how long we can last. The bugs are evolving. Perhaps…”

Before this man could finish speaking, a series of intense explosions happened.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The young military officer looked up and saw about a dozen military helicopters exploding in the air. These helicopters hadn’t returned from the battle, and they got exploded into pieces like massive fireworks, falling down from the sky with smoke all over them.

“What is going on? Can the bugs now attack the air?” the young military officer was shocked.

In the last few days, humans relied on the air force to maintain the advantage. Since the bugs couldn’t attack the units in the air, the air force could drop bombs and used missiles to kill large herds of bugs. If the humans lost this advantage, then everything was over!

“Damn it! What is it?” a soldier shouted.

The young military officer looked up and saw many black monsters that were about four meters long. While flapping their wings that seemed to be made of bone membranes, they looked like giant dragonflies, and they glided toward the defense structures as they buzzed loudly.

“Flying bugs?”

“They destroyed the military helicopters?”

Everyone turned ashen-faced.

“It is done!”

Now that the bugs also had their air force, the humans lost their only advantage. The plan of protecting the city using the newly-built defense structures was rendered useless.

The fate of destruction seemed settled.

“Hiss…” While eye-piercing hissing noises sounded, large herds of flying bugs appeared on the horizon and dove down towards the city, announcing the arrival of doomsday.

The young military officer sighed and looked behind him with unwillingness and love. [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

Behind him in the city were his old parents, great friends, beautiful wife, and cute and smart son and daughter. They were the motivating factors for him on the frontline, but now he no longer had the strength to protect them. The tragedy was about to strike his loved ones.

“Let us fall into a deep sleep together!” the young military officer took out his handgun and pointed at his temple.

However, when this young man turned around and was about to commit suicide, he suddenly froze on the spot as if he had been turned into a stone. Then, an incredulous expression of thrill appeared on his face.
