Chapter 68: Battle Plan Against the Guhuo Bird

Just as a student turned around, their view was filled by the silhouette of the "Rainbow-winged Louse."

He saw clearly the colorful powder sprinkled towards him by the flying insect, the layers of the insect’s wings, and the three pairs of legs covered in bristles reaching out towards him.

The student wanted to dodge.

Suddenly, he felt his body not obeying.

He stared helplessly as the "Rainbow-winged Louse" latched onto his face, pried open his mouth, and forcibly inserted a certain organ from the parasite’s body into his mouth, down his throat, and into his stomach.

For a moment, the terrified student’s heart raced, his eyes bulging as if they might pop out of their sockets.

"Junlin, Zeng Junlin has been attacked by parasites!"

The students cried out in surprise.

But they didn’t know what to do.

If they were to shoot.

They doubted their ability to hit the bug without hurting their classmates.

Just then.

The students saw a shadow flash by.

Luo Yan!

He swooshed past a student named Zeng Junlin.

At the same time, he brought with him a dazzling blue light.

Crack Star swept across the round and chubby belly of the flying insect.

Open up its entire abdominal cavity horizontally.

Let the internal organs and intestines inside fall down like a waterfall.

At the same time.

The sword tip was also entwined with an organ resembling intestines.

Luo Yan picked.

He picked the organ out of Zeng Junlin’s mouth.

"Inject him with the ‘Antidote’!"

Luo Yan quickly said, then slashed another parasite flying towards him with his sword.

At that moment, a thin and weak student screamed, broke away from the group, and tried to run away.

Seeing this, Luo Yan lifted his rifle and fired a shot at his feet.

Terrified, the student turned pale and collapsed on the ground.

A look of determination flashed in Luo Yan’s eyes, "Deserting in battle means death!"

No one thought Luo Yan was joking.

After all, just yesterday,

He killed someone at the ‘Falcon Base’.

And not long ago,

Wu Tiejun, Luo Beichen, and others died by his hands.

The students believed.

Luo Yan never blinked when he was going to kill someone.

Turn the gun.

Luo Yan sprayed the flying insects.

A fierce fight.

Finally, before the rain intensified, the battle ended.

The two teams eliminated nearly fifty ‘Rainbow-winged Louse’ on both upper and lower levels.

Apart from Zeng Junlin and two other students who were poisoned.

Most of the others were not seriously injured.

After the parasites were cleared.

The students entered the waiting hall and, under Li Bohang’s command, divided into several teams to remove the bodies in the first-floor hall.

This was done to clear the area for setting up a command center, material warehouse, maintenance workshop, and rest area.

The heavy rain lasted for over an hour before stopping.

After the rain stopped.

The engineering team got busy.

They buried some items that looked like barrels on the highway connecting the high-speed rail station to the city.

These ‘barrels’ are anti-giant beast landmines, which only detonate when stepped on by giant beasts.

Normally, passing vehicles with lighter weights will not trigger the landmines.

But if the mecha transport vehicle needs to pass through, the mine’s detection device must be deactivated first.

It was when the engineering team was setting up the minefield and erecting defenses around the camp.

Luo Yan, Zeng Shan, Li Bohang, and members of the tactical squad gathered for an impromptu meeting in the already established command center.

On the screen in the command center, an image of the ‘Rainbow-winged Louse’ appeared.

A student acting as a tactical staff member said, "According to the records, the ‘Rainbow-winged Louse’ is a parasite on the ‘Guhuo Bird’ from the ‘Feather Insect’ family."

"After discussion, we, the tactical squad, unanimously agree."

"There must be a ‘Guhuo Bird’ nearby."

"However, considering the ‘Guhuo Bird’s’ range of activity, the so-called ‘nearby’ area might be frighteningly extensive."

Li Bohang nodded and said, "Due to the habits of giant beasts in the ‘Feather Insect’ family, their range of activity is usually larger than other types of giant beasts."

"The owner of this forbidden place, ‘Danghu’, controls the entire ‘Ghost Hair City’."

A girl with short hair spun a pen in her fingers, saying, "The ‘Mysterious Chronicles’ contains records about the Guhuo Bird."

"It is said to fly at night and hide during the day, like a ghost."

"Its feathers are like a bird, but without them, it looks like a woman."

"Known as the Celestial Maiden, also as a night-wandering lady, a star angler, and a hidden flying bird."

"The giant creature, the Guhuo Bird, also shares similar habits."

"It always appears at night and prefers to prey on human children."

"Records show that during the ‘Beast Calamity’, numerous incidents occurred where the Guhuo Bird preyed on human children."

"Perhaps, we can use this behavior to our advantage."

"Lead it to the battlefield we specified."

Luo Yan saw the figure of ‘Gluttony’ in his mind.

He looked up and said, "The baby is crying."

A male officer nodded, "I think so too."

"We can play a recording of a baby crying repeatedly on the designated battlefield to lure the Guhuo Bird."

The short-haired girl from before said, "To hunt successfully, one more condition must be met."

She stopped her pen in her hand and stabbed it hard on the table, "We must disable the Guhuo Bird’s ability to fly."

The girl’s gaze swept across the faces of Luo Yan, Zeng Shan, and Li Bohang in turn.

"After all, we don’t have mechas capable of aerial combat."

Luo Yan said in a deep voice, "When the Guhuo Bird appeared, Li Bohang and Zeng Shan used the ‘Black Rope’ to control it."

"Then I cut off its wings."

"Speaking of wings…"

A strategist raised his hand and said, "Attention, Mecha Masters, be careful. The Guhuo Bird has ‘Hidden Wings’."

"It can freely move its feathers on its body, and form ‘Hidden Wings’ at any time."

"Although ‘Hidden Wings’ cannot be used for long-distance flights, escaping from the battlefield is still possible."

Each detail was carefully examined.

Each problem was solved.

In the evening.

The battle plan for Guhuo Bird is completed!

The time for the battle is set for ten o’clock at night.

It’s still early before departure.

Luo Yan took out a battlefield meal.

Opening the package, he found the contents quite rich.

This battlefield meal.

It consists of 565 grams of bread, paired with 455 grams of canned meat, 230 grams of dehydrated vegetables, and 140 milliliters of milk.

Of course.

Not everyone’s battlefield meal is this rich.

This is specially supplied to Mecha Master’s ‘ration’.

Luo Yan took a sip of milk first, then bit into a fragrant but dry bread.

He then ate some dehydrated vegetables mixed with seasoning.

At that moment, a figure flickered at the corner of his eye.

Zeng Shan sat down.

He glanced at Luo Yan and said, "Old Luo, you stay calm."

"I’m too nervous to eat," Luo Yan replied.

Luo Yan calmly ate a bite of canned meat, "Eat to fill your stomach, then you’ll have energy to fight."

Zeng Shan smiled, but it seemed forced.

He looked at his hands and said, "I understand everything."

"But this is my first time piloting a mecha in battle."

"I’m afraid I’ll hold you and Bo Hang back."

"I’m not like you guys."

"You all earned the right to pilot a mecha based on your skills."

"I’m just lucky, that’s all."

"Coincidentally, the group I competed with weren’t experts in combat."

"I’m standing out among the crowd."
