The Blazing Mammoth Bug was among the more "intelligent" insects; otherwise, it wouldn't even know what "fear" was.

Chen Gu appeared above the swarm, falling heavily.

This time, the insects were prepared and immediately scattered, leaving a large open space. Chen Gu didn't manage to crush even a single one.

The surrounding insects watched Chen Gu in the center warily, a hint of fear in their eyes, only to find him lying motionless on the ground.

After overusing Quantum Teleportation, his head throbbed excruciatingly, and intense ringing in his ears further disturbed him.

In the Central Operations Room, tears moistened Bai Yunpeng's eyes. The old general had witnessed many gallant moments from soldiers, but this time, Chen Gu still deeply moved his strong heart.

Behind her uncle, Bai Xianya's cherry-red lips unknowingly parted slightly, her eyes filled with admiration.

Her cooperation with the "Idol Actor" had hardly been pleasant, and Bai Xianya had been full of complaints about this "disgusting old man." But at that moment, she felt that the figure lying on the ground was unbelievably glorious and towering.

If they were a group of wild beasts, they might still hesitate, testing Chen Gu several times. But the Insect Race's intelligence was far inferior to that of wild beasts, and they simply couldn't consider that much. Since Chen Gu wasn't moving anymore, they charged.

The lead Ghost Claw Bug approached Chen Gu, raised its sharp claw high, then struck down without hesitation!

Bai Yunpeng and the others turned their heads away, unable to bear watching.

SSCH—

The claw plunged deep into Chen Gu's body. The pain made Chen Gu's body shudder, which ironically jolted him to consciousness, and the Radiation Field vividly reflected everything around him into his mind.

With a swing of his hand, Chen Gu sliced off the claw. Then, using all his strength, he vaulted into the air, twisting cleverly to avoid the flurry of oncoming insect claws.

He then curled up and swiftly navigated under the massive bodies of the bugs; for a moment, they couldn't locate him.

Suddenly, Chen Gu leaped up from the dense swarm and landed on the head of a Giant Armored Bug.

The Giant Armored Bug, with its thick and short limbs, comically struggled to reach its own head, trying to dislodge Chen Gu, but to no avail.

Despite its bouncing, Chen Gu remained as solid as Mount Tai atop it. From his elevated position, he surveyed the entire sea of insects.

He was acutely aware of his own condition and didn't know how long he could hold on.

Any moment, the darkness from the Endless Realm might completely devour me.

So this final blow must yield significant victories. Even in death, I will take as many and as powerful members of the Insect Race with me as possible!

Before the Spitting Thorns could shoot their spikes, Chen Gu jumped into the swarm. Then, a bright flame of sword-light squeezed through at breakneck speed, exploding continuously. None could withstand him; even the large Ghost Claw Bugs were blasted away, limbs flying everywhere.

Chen Gu ran wildly for hundreds of miles, zigzagging. His attacks, seemingly random and disordered, actually passed near every Blazing Mammoth Bug, each receiving a stroke of his sword.

Such attacks could instantly kill ordinary insects but couldn't inflict fatal damage on the Blazing Mammoth Bugs. It was, however, more than enough to enrage these gigantic creatures.

Chen Gu was baiting the monsters.

Eighteen Blazing Mammoth Bugs roared furiously, a sound that made one's skin crawl.

When Chen Gu finally stopped, he staggered. An idiotic Ghost Claw Bug charged him just then, its claw leaving a deep gash across his leg as blood spurted out like a fountain!

Chen Gu smashed the Ghost Claw Bug's head with a punch but couldn't help stepping back a few paces, a burning pain emanating from two wounds on his body.

If I weren't a Professional, I'd surely be unable to hold out by now.

However, Chen Gu also felt that the effects of the two Fifth-Tier Gene Potions he had used earlier seemed to be ongoing; his wounds were healing at a rapid pace.

This gave Chen Gu a slight sense of relief. Finally, a sliver of good news.

But this bit of good news was, in his current situation, just a drop in the bucket—better than nothing, at least.

The Blazing Mammoth Bugs had already caught up. They moved quickly when sprinting. Chen Gu, pushing himself, headed in the opposite direction of the cave stronghold.

But this time, he really felt his strength failing. He couldn't unleash the sharp sword force of the Nuclear Combat Technique like before. After swinging his sword in a flurry, he had only managed to advance a few dozen meters.

A Blazing Mammoth Bug roared from behind, and two terrifying, huge columns of fire spewed out!

Chen Gu put all his effort into a side dodge. Normally, this move would have taken him over a dozen meters, but this time he only managed seven or eight.

The edge of the fire column grazed him, setting the exoskeleton on his body ablaze!

Chen Gu smashed a button with his hand. The exoskeleton clattered off as he rolled on the ground several times, desperately avoiding the flames in a disheveled heap.

In the Central Operations Room, seeing the once formidable Chen Gu—who had moved in and out of the sea of bugs as if it were flat ground—reduced to this state, everyone clenched their teeth and held back their tears.

Yet he propped himself up with his sword and stubbornly stood. Then, with both hands on his sword, he pointed forcefully at the Blazing Mammoth Bug.

As Chen Gu made this motion, Bai Xianya felt an infinite courage emanating from him. This courage could inspire all of humanity, sustaining every warrior in their fight against the Insect Race until the final moment!

She was overwhelmed with emotion, speechless and choked up, her beautiful eyes shimmering with an extraordinary light.

Another Blazing Mammoth Bug charged Chen Gu from behind, piercing him with its sharp, long horn!

The Blazing Mammoth Bug was thrilled. It lifted Chen Gu high, bellowing to the sky and shaking its head nonstop!

Chen Gu kept spouting blood, yet he revealed a smile. Idiots! My tank's really empty. If you hadn't come close, I might never have been able to get near you.

He exerted his last bit of strength to grasp the thick bug horn, triggering Biological Nuclear Explosion for the fourth time!

Then Chen Gu let go, his consciousness fading. It was as if he saw that dark void descending from the infinite heights of the universe. Demonic shapes, bizarre forms, avatars of desire, and even the Evil God gazed greedily from the darkness.

Chen Gu felt too exhausted, so tired he didn't know if he could resist the temptations of the fallen.

He tried to turn his head. Through his blurred vision, he seemed to see the cave stronghold; Andrew and Dou Zhanqiong appeared to be standing at the cave entrance.

Too close... he thought. He had wanted to lure the Blazing Mammoth Bug further away, but they were still less than four hundred meters from the cave stronghold.

He wasn't worried about Biological Nuclear Explosion; the warriors had the protection of the cave stronghold and would suffer only minor injuries at most.

But if I mutate here, a few hundred meters is nothing—Andrew and the others will be in danger.

As a Radiation Missionary, if I mutate while experiencing Biological Nuclear Explosion, the most likely outcome wouldn't be death from the explosion, but becoming even more powerful because of it.

Since I'm already done for, I shouldn't drag them down with me.
