I am a retired rider in Xingtie, and I am loved by players.

"Buzz-"

At this moment, a group of dark insects with compound eyes and elytra flew in from the horizon. The high-frequency vibrating elytra made a shrill buzzing sound, which immediately aroused Yilu's vigilance. She immediately took out her mantis knife and made a fighting stance, but these young stinging insects did not seem to notice this "companion" with some strange movements, and left without even looking at her.

"Wow, you really can't see me!"

Seeing that these young stinging insects ignored her existence, the girl became very excited.

Good, good, it’s worthy of being the Grammer Empire’s high technology. It seems her safety is guaranteed.

Of course, Yilu did not forget the goal of his trip - to assassinate the Breeding Order Envoy.

The Grammer Empire knew the approximate location of the King Bug, but they were not sure in which star system the King Bug was hiding, so her current mission was to find the location of the King Bug as quickly as possible and then use this sniper rifle to give it a fatal blow.

Regardless of whether this shot can kill the queen insect or not, Yilu will choose to leave here and find an empty corner to live his retirement life.

As for why I didn't return to the Grammer Galaxy...

The reason is very simple. Grammer is destined to be destroyed. It has become a cosmic garbage dump, full of insects and the broken limbs of the Iron Cavalry. Only a fool would go back to die.

"You only have one bullet? I guess I can't just shoot casually..."

After carefully examining the sniper rifle named [Li] in her hand, Yilu lowered her head and pondered for a while, and soon made a decision. The translucent elytra on the back of the mecha slowly unfolded, blooming into blue wings of light, and carrying her into the sky like a meteor flying against the sky. The cold air released from the mecha left pieces of ice crystals in the air, condensing into snowflakes and drifting down with the wind.

"That is……"

Having just left the devastated planet in his mecha, Yilu scanned the surroundings and suddenly noticed something strange in the distance.

In this star system that is about to fall into death, there is still a dark red star that emits strong light and heat, and there are a large number of black spots near it, just like countless termites lurking on it.

For some reason, she always felt that the star was actually a bug, a very, very big bug.

This reminded her of a terrifying sentence:

Maybe the universe is actually a giant stinging insect...

"babble!"

This sudden idea scared Yilu herself, but she quickly rejected it.

Although Breeding has the ability to cause memetic contamination, which can turn all newborn babies on a planet into bugs, and can also turn newly born planets into bugs, it should not turn the entire universe into bugs. That would be too perverted.

Although he said so, Yilu still planned to go over to see the situation. Since a large group of insects could gather together, it meant that there must be something over there that attracted them.

Chapter 3: Leave it alone, no bug will get hurt

As we all know, there are two major scourges in this world, one is the gluttonous beast group, the other is the breeding insect group. Their existence has brought indelible disasters to the universe.

Oh, wait a minute, a friend from Xianzhou just called in and said that we seem to have missed the People of Abundance and the Antimatter Legion.

Emmm... Although from today's perspective, it is only a matter of time before these guys become the four evils of the universe.

But in that era, [Abundance] and [Destruction] had not yet been born, and the swarm of insects of Sand King Taizyuros was undoubtedly the most terrifying nightmare in the hearts of billions of creatures.

"Goodbye mom, I will sail away tonight~"

"Don't worry about me, I have a mecha and a sniper's gun~"

"Hum~"

While humming a little tune from his hometown, Yilu flew at full speed towards the dark red star in the distance. This was the maximum power that the Snow Firefly Armor could currently provide without harming the driver's body.

Although its burst speed is not as fast as the Firefly-IV Strategic Assault Armor, also known as SAM, it can accelerate continuously without worrying about core overheating, and has an absolute advantage in endurance.

Similarly, as the pilot of the Snow Firefly, Ilu must also possess corresponding qualities.

So, what is the most important thing when traveling alone across the universe?

That's right, patience.

At first, Yilu felt a little uneasy when she thought that the enemy she was facing was a Breeding Order Envoy. But after flying alone for thirty systems in the dark and empty universe, her mood became extremely calm and unperturbed. Even if she dropped a bomb in there, it would not cause any splash.

It’s like downloading an exciting little movie on your computer when you go out in the morning, and when you come back in the evening, you find that the progress bar has only moved a little bit.

If it were other impatient people, they would have lost their temper at this point. However, Yilu didn't feel much about it. She just felt that she was closer to her destination. Even she herself was unfamiliar with this adaptability.

"Is this still me?"

This is what Ilu thought at first.

But soon, she accepted the reality.

“Oh my god, this is me.”

Since she didn't know the specific reasons, Yilu could only speculate that it was her genetic characteristics that were causing the problem. After all, the biotechnology of the Grammer Empire was quite advanced. In order to make her adapt to the battlefield environment, it would be easy to perform some genetic surgery on her.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she doesn't have any negative emotions in her heart.

She still has the emotions that a normal human being should have, otherwise wouldn't she have become a monster in human skin?

"Ugh……"

Passing by a desolate and dilapidated earth-like planet again, the girl lowered her head and glanced downward. Looking at the densely packed black spots on the surface of the planet, she couldn't help but sigh.

Just as expected, all life in this galaxy had been slaughtered by the Zerg. The Earth-like planets she encountered along the way were all Zerg nests without exception. There was not even anyone to say hello to. She originally wanted to go and see if there were any survivors, but in the end she had to leave in disappointment.

Although no one came to greet her, what Yilu didn't expect was that she soon met a group of insects who greeted her actively nearby.

"Buzz-"

Perhaps smelling the pheromones released by the Snow Firefly Armor, a reddish substing insect with more than a dozen young stinging insects blocked Yilu's way and began to circle around her. The high-frequency vibrating elytra made a shrill buzzing sound and fanned out a large amount of wing powder, as if conveying some kind of information.

As for why this group of insects whose minds are full of reproduction would take the initiative to greet her, the reason is very simple - in their eyes, the silver mecha in front of them is also a "same kind". As descendants of the Sand King, they must fulfill the destiny of reproduction. Since you can't actively copy yourself, we have to come and help you.

"Just leave now, no bug will get hurt, or you will all die!"

"Buzz-"

After hearing her warning, the swarm of insects did not move away, but came closer.

"You bugs, your minds are really full of thoughts about reproduction..."

After realizing what this group of insects wanted to do, Yilu's face suddenly turned dark. She did not hesitate to take out the mantis blade hidden in her arms. The sharp and cold air spread over it, and the outermost layer turned into an extremely lethal ultra-low temperature air blade.

Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being rude.

"?"

Seeing this scene, the swarm of insects was immediately confused and chaotic. They didn't understand why their "kind" in front of them suddenly took an attacking stance, but Ilu would not give them any time to react.

A faint blue ray of light bloomed from the elytra behind her, and then she flew in front of the substing insect at a terrifying speed that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. The sharp ultra-low temperature air blade slashed at its body, cutting it in half without any resistance.

"Click——"

Not only that, the self-destruction that this substing insect was planning when it died was also forcibly interrupted by the frost spreading from the wound. Its time seemed to have stopped at this moment forever, and it became a mutilated specimen of an ice-frozen bark beetle.

"!!!"

Seeing the leader of the sub-stinging insects die suddenly on the spot, the remaining insect swarms suddenly became agitated. Yilu, the instigator of all this, was also shocked by the scene before her. She looked down at the azure ice blades embedded in her arms with a look of disbelief.

I'm awesome! Am I really that strong?

Even Yilu himself did not expect that the power of these two mantis swords would be so terrifying.

Originally, she thought that she would have a good fight with this stinging insect, so she chose to sneak attack the opponent at the first opportunity. Unexpectedly, she could kill it in one easy blow.

"Hmph, where are you escaping to?"

"I told you, all of you bugs must die!"

Although Yilu was excited and nervous at this time, she did not forget to kill the insects and silence them.

As she raised her knife and chopped it off, all the dozen or so young stinging insects were sent to meet the second stinging insect and turned into cosmic garbage floating in space.

After confirming that no other insects nearby saw this scene, she ended her combat state, and the pair of ice-blue wings behind the silver armor also dimmed, no longer as eye-catching as before.

After this thrilling episode, Yilu also understood a truth: sometimes a disguise that is too perfect is not a good thing and often leads to other troubles.

Fortunately, this was just a small-scale encounter, and she could still use violence to solve the problem. But what if she encountered thousands or tens of thousands of them? On a worse note, what if there was a real stinging insect nearby? She couldn't just rush in, right?

"It seems that we should try our best to avoid the swarm of insects..."

Chapter 4 Hunting mode, start!

After learning this lesson, Yilu deliberately avoided places where swarms of insects gathered on the rest of his journey.

Even if some insects noticed her presence, she would suddenly accelerate and leave them far behind, not giving the termites any chance to catch up.

Of course, sometimes Yilu would encounter situations that she could not avoid, so she had to take out her mantis blade to quickly deal with all witnesses and then move on.

As she got closer to the dark red star, the number of insect swarms she encountered on the way increased and the frequency of encounters became more and more. She even saw several insects the size of planets, which were undoubtedly complete true stinging insects.

Among them were many subspecies that Ilu had never seen before. Even from a distance, he could feel the terrifying heat emanating from them.

Of course, Yilu had no intention of confronting these powerful creatures head-on.

With her current strength, it is still difficult to kill the real stinging insect without using the sniper rifle on her back.

If she tried her best, Yilu might be able to kill one, but she couldn't stop the self-explosion of the true stinging insect after its death. Once she attracted the attention of the insect swarm, she would not be able to sneak into the vicinity of the dark red star quietly like she was doing now.

"By the way, that guy..."

Squinting his eyes and looking at the dark red star in the distance, Yilu couldn't help but frowned slightly and whispered: "Could it really be a big bug?"

Judging from the density of the swarm, she has now penetrated deep into the heart of the swarm and is not too far away from the king insect. In addition, there are a large number of true stinging insects appearing nearby, so the true identity of this dark red star is somewhat suspicious.

A bug as big as a star, emitting such terrifying heat, could it be that this guy is the king bug she is looking for?

It seems that those densely packed black spots are probably the real stinging insects guarding it...

"It seems that it is time for it to appear."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Yilu's expression immediately became serious. She took off the sniper rifle [Li] tied behind her, removed the cover of the scope, and aimed the gun in the direction of the dark red star.

The horrifying scene she saw through the scope once again confirmed her guess. Those black spots were actually planet-sized true stinging insects, and the dark red star they surrounded was like a huge breeding nest. Countless termites flew out of its big mouth, like a black wave attacking the distance.

Just as she guessed, this guy was the breeding order envoy she was looking for.

"Unfortunately, the distance is not enough."

Glancing at the effective range displayed in the lower right corner of the screen, Yilu muttered to himself in a serious tone, "We have to wait until we get closer."

Although the bullet fired by [Li] could span billions of kilometers, she was too far away from the king insect at this moment. She was not sure whether this shot could hit its body. If it failed to be a fatal blow, what would be waiting for her would be the endless revenge of the insect swarm.

As for whether he could hit the target but not kill him...

Although this possibility exists, as a sniper sneaking behind enemy lines, the only thing she can trust is her own bullets. If she doesn't even trust the bullets in the barrel, then there is no need for her to be here.

Yilu took a deep breath and confirmed again that the bullet was loaded and ready to fire at any time. She then began to fly at full speed towards the pre-set infiltration route, flying towards the dark red star shrouded in the shadow of the Zerg like a firefly flying into a flame.

After another thirty systems, as the distance between the two sides continued to shorten, she finally saw the ideal sniping point.

But before that, the super giant king insect that was born in the form of a star had already noticed Ilu's existence.

You have to know that all the termites in this galaxy are its offspring. As a breeding order, it can naturally identify this lurker disguised as a termite.

Seeing that the Iron Cavalry, which was supposed to be fighting the Zerg in the Grammer galaxy, appeared right under his nose, the King Insect felt an inexplicable rage in his heart.

The dangerous factor would make it feel restless. The sniper rifle in the hand of the Silver Iron Cavalry was constantly sending warnings to it. It could sense that it was a terrible weapon that was enough to annihilate an entire galaxy and could even cause fatal damage to it.

Although its main task is to breed more insect swarms, facing such a powerful enemy, it must give the highest priority to annihilating the human who broke into its doorstep without knowing it.

"Om-"

The queen insect emitted an ultra-low frequency sound that could not be detected by human ears, commanding the termites in the entire galaxy to exterminate the humans in front of them. It took this opportunity to breed more insect swarms to fill the gap.

"Chichi-"

After receiving the annihilation order from the King Insect, the hibernating true insects near Ilu instantly emitted bursts of shrill buzzing sounds, flapped their elytra and began to gather in her direction, as fast as lightning, like black meteors streaking through the night sky and flying towards Ilu's location.

Oh no, it looks like I’ve been discovered!

Seeing that the termites from the entire galaxy were beginning to gather in her direction, Yilu immediately realized that her coordinates had been exposed. The Breeding Order seemed to have noticed her identity and launched a full-scale siege against her.

The girl frowned slightly after taking a look at the group of young stinging insects that had already flown near her.
