Responding to Change with Constancy, Taking Stillness as Initiative
Objective reality slapped him in the face, easily defeating Russell's last bit of stubbornness and proving once again that his luck was really not good.
But who is Russell? He is a mature individual who studied at Gandalf University. When he was proven wrong, he remained calm and composed, offering a smile that provided him with many reasons.
"First of all, the proposition of objective reality has different definitions in different fields, with significant differences in meaning and content alone..."
Russell spoke eloquently, but no one paid him any attention. Mu Xinxin activated her telekinesis to observe the battle situation at the entrance of the insect burrow and relayed the situation to Ying Yingying via text. The latter sketched on the sand, intending to go deeper into the insect burrow to find out what was going on.
Russell knew they were in the wrong, but they pretended not to speak out of politeness and generously didn't pursue the matter, so the matter was considered closed.
After a brief discussion, Ying Yingying suggested creating some minor chaos, then secretly infiltrating the mobile force to contact the Brain Worm before the Federation could, and coerce or entice them into revealing the location coordinates of the Zerg leader.
Russell shook his head in denial. "Creating chaos is fine, but there's no need for us to do it ourselves. There are definitely other Reincarnator nearby; let them be cannon fodder."
The two women had no objection to this; why not avoid the risks?
Russell continued, "The Brain Worm has a psychic expert by its side. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to encounter it easily. Let me make this clear: if you are controlled, I will not show any mercy."
"According to your plan, aren't we just going to be bystanders the whole time?" Ying Yingying couldn't understand the mentality of single-player gamers. She wondered why Russell had no fighting spirit and was so lazy. Where did he get the Reward Points to squander? Was it really lucrative to ruin teammates?
"Don't talk nonsense. This is called observing the situation calmly, responding to all changes with constancy, taking the initiative by remaining still, and staying true to the principle even amidst countless changes."

"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think your twisted logic sounds really good."
The three lurked furtively behind the sand dunes. Ying Yingying activated her invisibility barrier, and unable to argue with Russell, she ultimately adopted his battle plan.
The single-player players had a detached mindset, while the other Reincarnator didn't have such patience. While the mobile forces set up isolation zones and were slaughtering the Zerg army, the Zerg faction's Reincarnator took the initiative and launched a frenzied attack on the mobile forces almost simultaneously.
In a one-on-one fight, the Reincarnator can utterly crush the soldiers of the Mobile Force. They can also take on a group of enemies at once, relying on all sorts of incredible abilities to beat them so badly that they can't even take care of themselves.
Many Reincarnator with mind control skills attacked the higher-ranking commanders of the mobile forces, plunging the federal army into internal strife and causing the army to fall into disarray, turning from an elite force into the France army.
As if by prior arrangement, the Zerg seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, employing their age-old Bug Swarm Tactics: a massive, dark mass of Zerg surged forth from their burrows, crashing down on the mobile forces like a tidal wave.
On the ground, thousands of Tank Bug led the way, tearing apart the mobile force's defenses. In the sky, flying insects split into several groups to attack the mobile force's lower-level commanders. The well-organized tactical coordination and fearless, valiant style were enough to put any human army of any era to shame.
The human Reincarnator shed their disguises and charged out from the mobile forces, overwhelming the Zerg Reincarnator in numbers. It was common to see unfortunate Zerg Reincarnator fighting five against one and then being brutally beaten to death.
"There are a lot of Reincarnator in the human camp, which is not a good thing," Ying Yingying said with a frown.
Russell gave her a strange look. "What, are you afraid you won't get enough Reward Points?"
"No, the Zerg faction has fewer Reincarnator, which means that if they win this battle, everyone will get more Reward Points. Some powerful Reincarnator like to do this."
"Really!"
Russell agreed that fewer people does not mean less strength. The Reincarnator in the human camp are all focused on stability. What does it mean to seek stability?
Those with average strength band together for mutual support, seeking stability!
The two sides fought fiercely, and putting aside the Zerg and the mobile forces, there were no fewer than a hundred battlefields where the Reincarnator clashed. Ying Yingying couldn't hold back any longer; these were all valuable Reward Points, and if she didn't take them now, when would she?
As soon as she got up, Russell pulled her back.
"Don't rush, our tactic is to wait and see."
"If we keep watching, Reward Points will be gone!"
Russell glanced at her and said meaningfully, "That's not how you fight a war. Don't treat the Federation's top brass like fools. They definitely have something big planned."
"?"
The battlefield was ever-changing. Just as the two sides of Reincarnator were locked in a fierce battle, the Federation made a major move.
Russell was watching the show when his Sixth Sense detected danger. The attack was coming from the sky. Without thinking, he pulled the two women to his side and Wings of Light for defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—
A dense rain of missiles fell from the sky, plundering the entire battlefield. Brilliant fireballs rose one after another, and countless lives perished in that instant.
Hundreds of interstellar warships hovered in near-Earth orbit around Planet P, ordered by the Federation high command to unleash their full firepower and leave no survivors. The attack would cease when their ammunition was exhausted.
The targets included the Zerg, the Reincarnator, and the Federation's own mobile forces.
The Federation doesn't act unless it's absolutely necessary, but when it does, it delivers a fatal blow. In order to eliminate the Reincarnator who are out of control, it kills 300,000 human soldiers without hesitation, even abandoning the strategic target, the Zerg commander.
Coldblood- blooded and ruthless, this is what war truly is!
In the underground wormhole, Russell couldn't withstand the warship's ferocious firepower, mainly because he was unwilling to use his Angel's Power for passive defense. He used his Digging Holes skill to sneak underground, digging through several wormhole tunnels until he arrived at a deep cave that was temporarily considered safe.
Mu Xinxin activated her psychic defense, and after a moment her expression changed slightly. "Vice Captain, Jason, there is a powerful energy reaction around us, which is very likely a psychic ability user from the Zerg camp."
Ying Yingying immediately made a decision. "Let's go. The Brain Worm must be with him. We can't let such a good opportunity slip by."
"Be careful of his mental abilities, don't get controlled," Russell said from the side.
"What do you mean? You're still planning to wait and see?"
"The Federation is using warships to sweep across the battlefield, finally it's starting to look like an interstellar battlefield..." Russell pointed to the sky. "You guys search for the Brain Worm to extract information, I'm going to seize a warship, otherwise, if the Federation blocks Planet P and cuts off all logistical transport, we'll never be able to leave in this lifetime."
Ying Yingying said solemnly, "Be careful, don't let things go wrong."
"You're the ones who should be careful. I already said it: if you get controlled, I won't hold back. Of course, Xin Xin, you're different. If you get caught, I'll do everything I can to get you out."
After saying that, he used his survival skill, Digging Holes, again and sped towards the ground.
