When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 443 - 443: 164 The true female lead Bai Fu's Descent, the Fourth Catastrophe VS Traditional Catastrophe [6k]_3

"Star Network Community didn't say the scale of this Flood Disaster would be so massive, even Brain Worms have shown up."

Brain Worms are intelligent beings from the Dark Domain Insect Clan.

After the mobilization ended, Fei Ye climbed up the first line of defense, the Mechanical City Wall, and looked at the densely packed insect horde in the distance that resembled a moving high wall; even she, who usually liked to pop champagne at halftime, felt a chill this time.

She wasn't afraid of getting killed by these insects, after all, she was an S+ Rank. Unless there was a Catastrophe Level giant insect hidden among them, or she was trapped and battered by dozens or hundreds of Adult Insects, she could easily escape even if she couldn't win the fight.

The problem was that this mission wasn't about seeing who could run the fastest but who could defend the best.

How to defend?

Fei Ye was starting to get a headache.

She turned around and saw that on her side there were only her, Green Mud, about a dozen of her old subordinates, Black Fu, and a few dozen Undying People.

Such a small number of defenders couldn't even fill the wall, and to have to defend against the wave-like surge of the insect infestation was an agonizing task indeed.

"If things go on like this, I won't be able to strike at all. If I do, this section of the wall is sure to fall."

Fei Ye's eyes began to flicker with flames of determination. For her, who enjoyed leading the charge in a fight, being relegated to guarding the rear was tantamount to torture.

So you're pained because you can't attack proactively, you can only defend reactively?

Hearing Fei Ye's words, Bai Fu rolled her eyes.

In fact, that was not the only thing that was tormenting Fei Ye.

"Do you want me to lend you some People?"

"I trust in your Strength, I believe you can definitely protect this wall. And you can rest assured, we will take care of the approaching Adult Insects on the way."

Several supervisors, including Herbert, looked at Fei Ye with eyes full of confidence, occasionally uttering what seemed like sentiments of concern or approval for her.

However, Fei Ye might speak and act in a straightforward manner, but she was neither big-chested nor brainless. She was well aware that these people were backhandedly taunting her.

Ah, forget it.

Fei Ye held back. What else could she do? She certainly couldn't start beating these people up at a time like this?

With her Power, her chances of winning a duel with these supervisors were extremely high, but she was not the kind of person who would let personal grievances disrupt the harmony within the Star Contract.

She had been brought into the Star Contract by the Oath Lord. It had been a long time since the Oath Lord had contacted her; maybe he had forgotten her, but she would never forget the Oath Lord's kindness. As long as the Star Contract remained the Oath Lord's, she would not do anything to harm its interests.

"Defending a wall is a breeze. You guys are talking big now, just don't come begging me for help later."

Fei Ye snorted and turned her head away.

Herbert and the others smiled, confident that such a scenario was impossible. She should just be a stable base and stay put.

Because of the ferocity of the Flood Disaster, Herbert and the others didn't stay with Fei Ye for too long.

Watching their retreating figures, Fei Ye glared fiercely a couple of times for good measure, then began to meditate.

"Let's defend. With me here, unless the scale of this Flood Disaster grows further, there's no chance of failure!"

The Players beside her looked at each other, and it seemed they too could only squat on the wall and watch the show if Fei Ye didn't make a move.

There was no denying that the Insect Clan Catastrophe was truly terrifying.

Upon closer observation, the Players realized that these insects were not ordinary carbon-based life forms. They were numerous, varied, some excelled at digging, some at flying, some at shell defense, some at close-combat assault, and there were even outrageous insects that could spit "saliva" capable of engaging the airborne bombing squads deployed by the Star Network Community in a fierce exchange.

"A single spit took down a flyer? What kind of saliva is that?"

"Holy shit, that Interstellar Soldier was sliced in two, Battle Armor and all, by a single scythe!"

"That thing looks like a tentacle monster, and it can suck blood!"

The battle with the Dark Domain Insect Clan was fierce, and since it was the first round of contact between the two sides, the Star Network Community maintained the upper hand even with many reserves left, but the bloody reality of the battle was already apparent.

Elite Interstellar Soldiers were powerfully strong individuals who could knock down swaths of insects at once, and with various kinds of beam and cannon support, they were even more ferocious. But however fierce they were, if they made one mistake or got unlucky and let a single insect through, they faced the gruesome fate of either being killed by a face-hug or torn to shreds.

Blood mixed with the viscera of insects, a messy stew that was as disgusting as it was terrifying.

"No wonder they say Flood Disasters are so dreadful!"

The front-line Players were looking extremely grave. In a short time, they had noticed that the insects possessed various horrifying abilities like parasitism, poison spitting, and self-destruction, capable of pulling their nearby NPC victims into death with them. Facing such monsters, the NPCs might initially keep their courage, but as time went on, their psychological defenses were bound to be severely tested.

"To fight a Catastrophe, the best strategy is still to use a Catastrophe!"

After observing the battlefield situation through Black Fu, Bai Fu sighed after casting a glance at the insects and Players.

Finally, her gaze fell on Fei Ye.

She observed carefully; every time a Player commented on the battle, Fei Ye's eyebrows would twitch, and occasionally her body would shiver. Her tense and grave stature involuntarily reminded her of the need to hold in urine.

Good grief, unexpectedly this felt a bit thrilling. She thought about it, and Fei Ye's "holding in urine play" was actually a game they were both playing — after all, if she directly led the Players in a charge, Fei Ye wouldn't need to hold it in anymore.
