Xisai Si only had time to throw the warrior to a safe area. After that, his mecha was hit by King Insect who suddenly swooped down from the sky.

Although he opened the protective device in time, King Insect's body was not tofu.

Although the protective device temporarily blocked King Insect's body and prevented it from smashing the mecha, it failed to block its pincers.

In an instant, King Insect united with Insects to attack Xisai Si, knocking him away from his protection.

Then, King Insect's large pliers quickly clamped Xisai Si's mecha arm.

Insects's movements became unexpectedly flexible and smooth. This movement was fast and accurate!

Xisai Si was too late to respond.

After it clamped the arm of the mecha, it directed other adults to break open Xisai Si's mecha.

These actions were completed in an instant.

Others were too late to rescue.

Too fast.

And based on their team Insects's understanding, even if the mecha is broken open, Insects won't go anywhere.

Here we are still trying to think of a way to knock out Insects. After the King Insect broke through Xisai Si's mecha, it took a breath and flew high into the air, leaving the ground.

The soldiers in the West District were still fighting, and although the few soldiers rescued by Xisai Si chased after them immediately, it was still too late after all.

The robot immediately took off to intercept, but was blocked by other adults.

That King Insect didn't know why he didn't eat Xisai Si immediately. Instead, he dragged him out of the mecha, holding him with one pair of pliers while the other hit Xisai Si hard.

Insects's heavy blow is not something that flesh and blood can withstand.

Xisai Si's injuries are too serious.

As soon as the pliers go down, the internal organs will be broken. Although he has Protective Suit and a mecha, his mecha can only withstand twenty heavy blows from Insects...

King Insect was still angry after hitting Xisai Si hard and threw him to other adults.

Back and forth, like venting anger.

It's like playing again.

This is a behavior pattern that Insects has not had since its emergence.

Finally, the rescue soldiers from the West District spent a lot of effort to capture all these Insects with a net and pulled them back to the ground.

Insects This operation was completed at lightning speed.

The West District's rescue team went from Xisai Si's mecha being broken open by Insects to snatching back his body.

It took more than a minute.

In just over a minute, Xisai Si's body was destroyed by Insects.

In the end, they only prevented Xisai Si's body from being swallowed by Insects.

Help him clean up the insect eggs on his body to prevent the eggs from hatching and eating Xisai Si's body.

If it is Ulia, it will make Xi Xiu and Xie Qingzhu very uncomfortable.

They are on the battlefield and know that sacrifice can happen to anyone.

Even if he prays that sacrifice will not happen to him, if it happens to other warriors, they will not feel better.

After Ulia said this, they left.

Xi Xiu, Qi Mang, and Ebony were left in the office area, and no one made a sound.

Ebony seemed to have noticed Xi Xiu's sadness. It stretched out its vines and gently touched Xi Xiu with its softest tip leaves, as if to say: Okay, Xi Xiu is not sad or in pain.

Xi Xiu didn't move, quietly, seeming to be thinking about something...

This incident soon spread to everyone's ears.

Fan Zhengan also confirmed this from the West District.

All the soldiers who went on the mission in the fourth district spontaneously held a farewell ceremony on Starship for Xisai Si and other sacrificed soldiers.

Four large Starship hovered in a wide star field, lined up in a line, adjusted the angle of the muzzle to 45°, and fired 64 shells into the starry sky.

The soldiers on Starship, wearing uniform station combat uniforms, held their hats with their left hands, placed them on their left waists, lowered their heads, and observed a collective silence for three minutes.

Afterwards, all the soldiers saluted in the direction of the starry sky.

They can only perform such a simple farewell ceremony for the fallen warriors in the starry sky.

When they return to the ground, the station should still see off the soldiers.

Xi Xiu and A Xian stood in their positions, watching the brilliant fireworks explode in the starry sky.

Jiujiu remains.

Everyone's heart feels more or less the same.

Even if the veteran soldiers are used to separation and death, every time they face such a scene, they still feel a sea of sadness in their hearts.

Because I don't know if the next time will be my farewell ceremony.

After the farewell, Xi Xiu and Qiu Shaorong went to the medical cabin together.

Wu Yuan News came that the seriously injured soldiers made it over.

No more life-threatening danger.

Both men were silent on the way to the medical bay.

Xi Xiu doesn't think it's appropriate to talk about anything.

The soldiers passing by greeted them, and everyone's expressions were not very good.

Qiu Shaorong was also feeling panicked at this moment.

"Don't think too much. Life or death is in your own hands. Strength is everything. For the rest, I can only say it depends on luck." Xi Xiu knew that it was not that Xisai Si had no strength, but that his luck was really bad.

If she were in Xisai Si's situation, she wouldn't be completely sure that she would be able to escape unscathed.

The good result is serious injury, the bad result is death.

She hasn't seen Xisai Si's battle video yet, but Ulia's description should be very accurate.

In that case, foreign aid is very important.

Your own adaptability and strength are also important.

Insects's movements became faster, which no one expected.

Xisai Si himself certainly did not expect Insects to suddenly exert force, much faster than the weapons fired by the soldiers.

The most serious problem was actually that his mecha shell was broken.

Insects's secretions corroded his Protective Suit.

Even if he could be rescued, the insect eggs on his body would hatch immediately, and what would be rescued would be a white skeleton.

"Yeah." Qiu Shaorong's voice was a little muffled, very different from before.

"You will not encounter such a dangerous situation every time. When you are in danger and you can't fight it, you can actually retreat. Retreat and think of a solution. Only then will you have time to think. Remember not to be brave, so as not to put the rescuers in danger." Xi Xiu rarely said such a long string of words.

After listening to her words, Qiu Shaorong suddenly became enlightened.

I was overthinking this just now.

If you can't fight, you can retreat, he forgot.

After withdrawing, you will have the opportunity to study new combat methods.

Don't just fight to the death.

Except when every inch of land must be fought for.

Otherwise, Alliance would not advocate risking the lives of soldiers to gain victory.

"Remember."

Xi Xiu and Qiu Shaorong checked the recovery status of the warriors.

It has been more than 4 hours since they left Mingyun. These soldiers received proper treatment as soon as they were injured.

The situation is now stable.

Xi Xiu and Qiu Shaorong both breathed a sigh of relief.

She talked to the soldiers and asked them to take active treatment and rest peacefully.

She also asked Wu Yuan to pay attention to the situation of the soldiers at all times and report to her in time, and then returned to the office area with Qiu Shaorong.
