Infesting a large number of human corpses, and controlling them to “communicate” with human beings at the same time were not difficult for Dumb Insect at the moment.
However, in order to avoid Yan Min suspecting Dumb Insect, even more, Chu Yunsheng insisted on preventing it from participating in any things that involved human beings.
The recovery process of his insect body was interrupted by the sound of artillery strikes. He was still very weak. With his ability, he could only infest and control a handful of corpses, so he had to eat some tentacle monsters to obtain a similar ability to supplement his lack of control.
After he appointed that middle-aged man, who used to be a very successful CEO, as the leader of Fragrant River City, he felt that he was about to lose control of his ability. So he hurriedly let the third-formed green-shelled insects drag him back to a tomb that was near the edge of the creep area. At the same time, he immediately ordered Dumb Insect to give him the control of the tomb.
This was a tomb that was designed to repair the wounded combat units. In order to facilitate timely “rescue”, Dumb Insect bred it on the edge of the creep according to its instinct.
When Chu Yunsheng first went to this kind of tomb, his brain was almost replaced. But now, apart from Dumb Insect, he was the absolute ruler of this place. So he could easily simplify the repairing process.
While Chu Yunsheng was in a deep coma, Dumb Insect had thoroughly implemented his strategy. It had used all the fire energy delivered by Yan Min to breed tombs.
Although Yan Min stopped deliver energy to Dumb Insect after it suspected Dumb Insect, the energy Dumb Insect got was already enough to breed ten tombs.
Moreover, his creep area also had a Star Rank three tomb.
Having a high star rank tomb not only had a direct impact on a Min’s abilities, but it also had impacts on various aspects of a creep area. Chu Yunsheng also gained the knowledge of how each tomb works from it.
The combat units that a primordial tomb could breed were just red-shelled insects, green-shelled insects, golden-shelled insects, and white worms, four basic types of combat units.
When a tomb was leveled up to a star rank one, the most obvious result was the emergence of long snake-like cannon insects that could perform a long-range attack with fireballs.
The most prominent change of leveling up to star rank three was purple flame monsters, and the emergence of other advanced combat units.
But that was not all. If Chu Yunsheng needed to describe it using his own word. Having a Star Rank three was like having a big factory, and each other tomb was just a machine tool that had its unique functionalities.
Chu Yunsheng was sitting on a platform inside the repairing tomb while his body was being carefully repaired by many small and thin transparent tubes. At the same time, he was still trying to figure out how to deal with Yan Min.
He didn’t know when exactly Yan Min would turn around and attack Dumb Insect. With its current strength, it could easily eliminate Dumb Insect’s force and Hong Kong at the same time.
To him, the best solution was to run away.
But Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to do it. If he and Dumb Insect really run away this time, then, there would not be any places on Earth that would allow them to live.
They would face the spore forest alone, the insects from creep areas would hunt them forever, even human beings would also want to kill them.
He could hand Dumb Insect over to Yan Min in exchange for more time to live. However, whether it was his insect’s body or his human mind, they just didn’t allow him to do it.
All sorts of reasons made Chu Yunsheng come up with a crazy idea – kill Yan Min! And take over its creep.

In a corner of the Fragrant River city, a large campfire was lit up.
A skinny young man was standing on top of a bus and shouted to a group of refugees that had just been gathered together.
“Everyone, everyone, please stay quiet!…
My surname is Wei, from now on, I am the director of the Fifth District, this is the mayor’s written appointment. Because there is no paper, it is carved onto a wooden board.
Our fifth District had more people than other districts, and we all came from different backgrounds, I hope that we could work happily together in the future.
The mayor had an agreement with Master insect, I am now going to mention this < Camp Regulations> one more time, so please remember it.
The first rule, do not attack or provoke any insects under any circumstances;
The second rule, please do not cross the fence outside the city under any circumstances;
The third rule, please do not cause any large commotions in any areas in the city…
The forth….
…
And the last one, please do not have any fights with any reasons and do not eat human beings in the city…
On that long list, only the first three rules were given by Chu Yunsheng, the rest of them were not written by him. As long as human beings didn’t attack any insects, he didn’t care that much.
After the young man finished the long list of regulations. Many people began to discuss with each other around the bus.
“Young man, they said that the insects are keeping us as their food. Is it true?”
“Bro, we have so many people, if we can’t do this and that, what are we going to eat?”
“Director Wei, I used to work for the government, do you need any help?”
“Is the mayor going to sell us to the insect?”
“Did you negotiate with the insect? Are they really keeping us as their food?”
“Did you betray us?….”
…
The young man couldn’t withstand the bombardment of questions. His face turned red and he began to sweat.
He was just an office worker in the age of light, he never knew how to handle such a situation before.
It was just at this moment, a group of green-shelled insects flew past them, and everyone instantly stopped talking. They didn’t even dare to breathe.
The young man wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said, “Master insect said, follow the regulation or die…”

“You said that it asked you to come to talk to me?” The face of Huo Jiashan was pale and haggard, but when he heard the news, there was a faint of excitement.
“Yes, chief Huo, it asked me to only contact you. Everything I said is true.” Lee Taidou wolfed down the food that Huo Jiashan specially requested for him and said while his mouth was full of food.
“Good, Xiao Lee, you did a great job, a fantastic job!” Huo Jiashan praised.
‘What does it want? Why it wants to work with human beings at this time. They are clearly winning.’ Huo Jiashan was trying to figure out what exactly the insect he met before was thinking.
Ke Qianer had already joined the battle in the front line, however, both the military and the scientists from the academy of sciences still didn’t find the insect’s command headquarters.
Although he didn’t like Ke Qianer, he still wished that she could destroy the insect’s command system. Since the last negotiation already failed,
This was probably the only way to save Hong Kong.
“Do you think that we can get the information about their headquarters from it?” Huo Jiashan asked. But before Lee Taidou replied he carried on, “no, it is very smart, it will not tell us.”
“Xiao Lee. From now on, I will transfer you to work directly under me. I want you to be the key contact between us,” Huo Jiashan looked at Lee Taidou and said sternly.
Lee Taidou raised his head and looked at Huo Jiashan. In his eyes, there was a faint of hesitation and alert, “I’m sorry chief, I…” he shook his head and said.
“Xiao Lee, This matter involves many people’s lives, but I don’t trust other people,” Huo Jiashan stared at Li Taidou’s eyes and said.
“I don’t think you should trust me either, I don’t support your idea,” Lee Taidou said calmly.
“It’s alright, I trust you, you are the only one who had close contact with it, and you are also not on good terms with those radicals. Moreover, you are a Rank A energy practitioner!” Huo Jiashan didn’t seem to give up.
Lee Taidou suddenly sneered, “you know about what happened, but you didn’t stop them?”
Huo Jiashan didn’t avoid his angry glare, “We knew what happened, but we can’t stop them. There are also many people who support their behaviors. You are a smart man. You should know why.”
Lee Taidou shook his head and said, “yes, I know. It is not them, of course, no one would want to come out. I just want to know how confident you are if we are working with that thing.”
Huo Jiashan thought for a second, then walked towards the entrance to close the door. He pulled down the curtain and walked back to his desk. Underneath it, there was a small safe. He opened the safe and took out a piece of paper and laid it open on the table in front of Lee Taidou.
“That insect? What do you mean?” Lee Taidou looked at the paper and said in confusion.
Huo Jiashan nodded his head, “the person who drew this insect has already left Hong Kong. You don’t need to know who he is. But you must have heard some rumors. This person had saved Hong Kong from danger two times. It was him who incited the war between the two types of insects in the north!”
