Although the white foam spewing from White Hair's mouth increased, the number of corpses piling up twenty meters in front of them also increased.

Mu Fan even saw several rows of beetles that had just rushed out of the high slope before they even had a chance to jump up were directly ignited, and their corpses rolled down the slope.

He looked at the White Hair again and made only two movements: he pressed his right index finger on the trigger and held it down, and after the magazine was emptied, he instantly inserted a new magazine with his left hand.

All these movements were as fluid as flowing water, and what appeared on the retina was that the White Hair was simply firing his gun randomly in front of him, leaving behind swathes of death.

Is this... the true level of the White Hair?

"How could this White Hair possibly achieve the shooting accuracy of a robot!?" Even Black expressed his amazement this time.

In its understanding, this situation is impossible for humans.

Mu Fan also wanted to speak, but the facts were already laid bare before him.

Mu Fan had now adjusted his breathing and was able to fight again, but Mu Fan stared blankly for a full minute.

White Hair's finger never left the trigger even an inch!

His firepower is now comparable to the entire team we faced last time, or even stronger!

Da da da da... da!

After the final gunshot, there was no longer any Zeg in Mu Fan's sight.

The first group of Zerg to arrive were all wiped out by their own teammates?

The Insect Swarm's offensive has been disrupted?!

Mu Fan was filled with awe; he had always admired those who were masters who kept their skills hidden!

White foam was dripping from the corner of White Hair's mouth onto the ground, but he still stood there coldly, without uttering a word.

The orange projection screen retracted into the eyepiece with a hum.

Mu Fan patted the White Hair on the shoulder, ready to praise him, but then he heard his teammate say something:

"Oops... Next time, just lower the current intensity..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Fan felt the White Hair's body go limp and then collapse to the ground.

Mu Fan caught the body that was about to fall and pulled up the orange goggles. He saw that the White Hair's eyes had begun to roll back, and a small bubble occasionally appeared from the corner of his mouth.

"These symptoms are signs of nervous disorder; they'll be fine after rest. A second batch of Zegs has appeared at the vent in the insect nest. I suggest you run away immediately." Black had clearly seen something through the monitors that Mu Fan had placed earlier and immediately gave them a heads-up.

With a swift motion, Mu Fan hoisted the half-paralyzed body of the White Hair onto his shoulder, bypassed the corrosive venomous area, and finally reached the high slope on the opposite side.

At this moment, a faint rustling sound came from the air. Mu Fan turned his head and glanced over, and saw a dark mass of Zegs surging in again.

He gasped, Mu Fan unleashed his full power in his legs.

Without his Exoskeleton Armor, Mu Fan didn't think it would be foolish to engage in hand-to-hand combat with these insects, given their seemingly endless numbers.

If you really get caught in them, you can only last a minute at most before being overwhelmed by these bugs.

"Disable silent communication." After instructing Hei, Mu Fan now had time to call Luo Jianjin for help.

"Mu Fan, you brats, do you have a death wish?!"

"They're only turning on the communication channel now!"

"We have 500 meters left."

The last sentence is the data verification done by Old Wolf.

"What's the situation now?" Luo Jianjin finally spoke up.

Giant trees and vines swept past on either side of their field of vision as Mu Fan spoke, accompanied by the howling wind. "Our exoskeleton energy is exhausted, and there's a huge horde of Zerg behind us, whoosh... countless!"

"Countless? What hornet's nest have you stirred up! Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."

"No, Captain, I suggest... we escape first."

After Mu Fan finished speaking, he finally saw the Tiger Hunting Squad rushing towards them through the thick branches of the giant tree!

Luo Jianjin, Old Wolf, Tracy were present, but Old Deer was nowhere to be seen; he was probably guarding the Spider Vehicle.

Their strength was truly formidable, but glancing back again, the waves of Zeg advancing relentlessly seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Mu Fan stepped onto the branches, carrying the White Hair, and leaped into the air, shouting, "Captain, we're here!"

Luo Jianjin, who leaped five or six meters with each step, suddenly looked up and saw Mu Fan in mid-air, following the direction of the sound.

His whole body felt as if he had been soaked in a green liquid, which was sticky and transparent, just like Mu Fan had just crawled out of the belly of a giant Zeg.

He's carrying someone on his shoulder... What happened to Yin Shuai?

He didn't notice Tracy's strange gaze beside him. As an excellent sniper, Tracy immediately noticed the string of shimmering... white foam behind Mu Fan.

Is the White Hair poisoned?

"Prepare for battle!" Luo Jianjin ordered. Tracy used her grappling hook to instantly climb onto the giant tree next to her, while Old Wolf, also dressed in light combat armor, drew an explosive crossbow from his back, rolled, and disappeared into the grass.

Seeing the three members of the Tiger Hunting Squad instantly assume their combat stance, Mu Fan felt a warm current flow through his heart.

"I'm being pursued by a large number of enemies that have emerged from the Zerg's lair."

"You go back to the team first!" The Luo Saihu man's tone was firm.

"Um."

Mu Fan agreed, and after landing, he bounced a few times and finally flashed to Luo Jianjin's side.

"Is Yin Shuai alright?"

"It's nothing serious, it's probably just a temporary nervous disorder."

"That's good... I..." After Luo Jianjin replied, he finally saw the first group of Zegs appear.

"...day!"

The last word was finally uttered with fierce force.

"How come there are so many Zegs! There are more behind us, boss, we have to retreat!" Old Wolf's exclamation came through the communication channel. Mu Fan still hadn't seen him yet.

"Little brother, what kind of mess have you gotten yourself into?" Tracy's breathing quickened, but her tone was not accusatory; instead, it was full of teasing.

In their sight, as the first wave of insects, hundreds of meters wide, appeared, countless limbs continued to emerge, and a terrifying rustling sound almost filled the entire world.

This scene sent chills down the spines of the three seasoned members of the Tiger Hunting Squad. Now they finally understood what Mu Fan meant by running away.

"Cut off one of our routes! I'll carry the two little ones and retreat to the Spider Vehicle. Old Deer, you have five minutes to lay the mines! Whether we can truly escape this time depends on you!"

"Roger that, boss." Finally, Old Deer's voice came through the channel, tinged with excitement. He could finally put all those beloved gadgets to good use.

Luo Jianjin's hands trembled, Mu Fan saw a dark cannon barrel appear instantly below his left arm—a portable man-portable Grenade Launcher.

"Suppressive fire for 30 seconds. Once an offensive gap is created, withdraw immediately!"

Boom, boom, several grenades shot out in an arc, directly blasting over a group of beetles.

Several arrows, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, exploded upon hitting the Insect Swarm, creating an explosion on a scale no less than that of a grenade.

Amidst the intense gunfire, several consecutive low, powerful gunshots rang out, and Mu Fan saw a frozen area appear in the distant Insect Swarm!

This is... a frozen bullet?

It must be said that the three members of the Tiger Hunting Squad are incredibly powerful. The Zerg Race's second wave of attacks was clearly caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the three.

"Time's up, let's go!"

Although a brief victory was achieved, a sense of impending crisis was palpable.

Luo Jianjin roared, turned around and grabbed the White Hair from Mu Fan's shoulder and put it on his own shoulder, while preparing to grab Mu Fan.

"Captain, I'm fine!"

Seeing that White Hair was secured by the mechanical arm behind Luo Jianjin, Mu Fan refused the offer to carry him.

Bend your knees and then burst forward.

P. S.: I'd like to recommend a book by my friend Qian Cui Bai Lian, "Dimensional Elevator," which is currently featured prominently on the homepage. It's a fantastic story about various time-travel elements in the infinite flow genre! However, I must say that since he, like Xin Feng, is also criticizing me—calling me "Old Dang Da Ji Ji"—readers who see this might want to visit his review section with a scathing rebuke... Dangdang thanks you!
