Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 178 - 60: Tacit Understanding

"I support this soldier’s actions. If anyone disagrees, come and fight me. I can end his life early," the man said, pulling a kitchen knife from his bosom, exuding an air of unreasonable defiance, fearless and brazen.

The tall, robust figure, compared to the skinny miners without a couple of pounds of flesh, was incredibly intimidating.

This was a time when brute force was needed to control the situation, "Since we can only choose four hundred people, all the children go, those under eighteen too, followed by women. If we’re all going to die, as men, we should choose to die with dignity."

His subordinates were nearly all ruffians, usually fond of petty thefts, none of them were good people.

But with the boss leading as the ’bad guy,’ they stood up, fierce and aggressive.

With the dual assault of the kitchen knife and his henchmen, the protesters were suppressed.

The four hundred people were quickly chosen.

More than ten children, several pregnant women and infants, and the rest were young people; the last few spots were given to elderly people of high esteem.

Fan Li closed his eyes, realizing that the sedative might very well take their lives, but it was the only way to help ordinary people overcome their fear of the Insect Men.

It all depended on their luck now, "Let’s go."

Hundreds of people departed.

The thousands left in the shelter watched as the doors slowly closed, full of longing, which eventually turned into several sighs.

They wanted to live, but they couldn’t stand up proudly and claim they deserved life the most.

Everywhere, priority has always been on the survival of children and pregnant women—this is a consensus of humanity.

Now they hate, but they can only hate themselves for not leaving earlier.

...

The four hundred people, anxious, followed Fan Li to another underground shelter.

The defensive setup here was no different from above, with a similar area.

A woman asked, "Officer, there is quite some space; why can’t more people come down?"

Fan Li didn’t want to explain, "Hurry up."

The administrative personnel acting with Fan Li said, "Later, other protective measures will be added to ensure your safety. Only children, women, and the elderly are here. There will be no soldiers guarding."

Having said that, the administrative staff began distributing old spacesuits of various styles, the biggest feature apart from being old was the coverage.

The survivors trusted this wholeheartedly and quickly put on the suits.

With no sizes for children, they just wore them as they were.

While the survivors were dressing, Fan Li kept checking the time; it had been almost an hour.

A loud roar echoed above, the Military Government Building sounded the alarm, and the red warning lights kept flashing.

The crisis escalated.

...

Feng Wansha and the others worked together to finish the Protective Device and packed it into the Space Button.

As soon as the alarm went off, everyone quickened their pace.

Unknowingly, sand started to sift into the room.

The crowd looked up, searching for the source.

The thick walls had surprisingly cracked, forming a gap.

Fine sand lightly swirled in, and a grotesque large eye perched at the crack, greedily selecting prey.

"It’s a Demon Eye Worm People, run," the staff in the maintenance room shouted, pulling others to flee.

"Li Leilei, you take the stuff to the underground," Feng Wansha said and jumped onto the Mecha.

Before the Demon Eye Worm completely destroyed the wall, she desperately stabbed towards the eyeball.

Feng Wansha shouted, "Hurry, I can’t hold it!" The weapon barely scratched the surface of the eyeball shell.

This action infuriated the Demon Eye Worm People, whose tentacles formed a shield, sweeping at the building, chaotically smashing the walls.

Each hit shook the building.

Debris incessantly fell from above.

There was no way to run, besides Feng Wansha, everyone inside could only temporarily hide behind cover.

The Demon Eye Worm People probed with its deep tentacles but couldn’t reach through the narrow gap, so it continued hammering.

Until a metal beam fell, hitting Feng Wansha’s Mecha.

Feng Wansha’s Mecha lifted the beam and tossed it aside.

Without the beam’s reinforcement, the maintenance room’s gap completely cracked open.

Damn, just a little more, where did the Demon Eye Worm People come from?

Feng Wansha didn’t know; the protective shield wasn’t completely shattered; it started breaking from above.

Sensing the breath of living people here in Repair Room No. 3, the Demon Eye Worm People charged straight in.

Li Leilei was still standing there dumbfounded, "I... I’ll help you, you can’t handle it alone."

"Help, schmelp, do what we agreed on. This critical moment, and you can’t tell priorities!" Feng Wansha scolded, "Don’t you remember what Caicai said before we came? Get lost, say you’re dragging us down and I’ll send you to your death first."

Stop yelling, stop yelling.

Li Leilei gripped the two Space Buttons, holding back tears, "I... I’m going now."

She turned and ran.

The Demon Eye Worm’s two tentacles squeezed through the gap, eagerly watching the little figure running.
