"I believe you have all received the short message notification."
"For the communication window, it will open at 6am on August 15th. New recruits who have recently joined may not know what this means."
"So, I will answer your questions and tell you what to do next."
After a group of people had gathered, Squad Leader Campbell finally spoke.
As expected, he talked about the bug tide.
In general, there were more bugs, so there needed to be more people on the defense wall.
Each person needed to increase their four hours of guard time, with the squad leader and team leader present. The four guarding armies in the east, west, south, and north were all the same.
If the bug tide was too large, the fortress would also deploy support forces such as aerial and mechanical units.
The squad leader was very detailed, speaking for three minutes before finishing.
After announcing this, training began at 7pm sharp.
However, the squad leader shortened the physical training from three hours to two hours. Tomorrow, physical training would be canceled altogether, with the aim of preserving strength to face the bug tide.
... ...
After two hours of physical training, Zhou Yuan returned to his dormitory and sat for two hours before leading his team to the defense wall and exchanging with Team Eight of Squad Three.
"As usual, patrol from number two to number five, and man the watchtower from number six to number ten. Rotate after four hours."
Zhou Yuan waved his hand and ordered the team to disperse.
After the team members were in position, Zhou Yuan climbed onto the watchtower and picked up his sniper rifle.
Tonight, he still had to shoot for eight hours straight.
But when it was time for the second half, he didn't just focus on killing bugs.
Just as he said in the morning, he shared some shooting experiences with his team members and told them all the knowledge he could impart.
As for whether or not they could comprehend it, there was nothing more he could do.
Talent was something that couldn't be made up for with just hard work.

Title: Exercise Expert - All attributes increased by 0.2
Soul Points: 3753
Teaching took up a lot of time, so there was less time for killing bugs.
He earned nearly 2200 soul points yesterday, but today he didn't even reach 1500, the difference was very obvious.
However, the main reason was that he couldn't focus and concentrate.
He spent the whole night thinking about what the bug tide would be like tomorrow because he had never seen one before and was extremely curious.
He may have killed two thousand bugs in one night, but he felt that ten thousand was not a large number.
In a bug tide, when the number of bugs together exceeded ten, they were called a swarm. And when the number exceeded ten thousand, it was considered a bug tide.
Although he killed two thousand bugs in eight hours, it was like turning on a faucet.
Seeing ten thousand bugs at once was like opening a floodgate.
It was not even on the same level!
When the bug tide came, he would operate the four-linked KPV heavy machine gun on the watchtower.
This heavy machine gun was a firearm from over two hundred years ago that was powerful enough to shoot down planes and tanks, making it a heavy anti-materiel weapon.
The kinetic energy of each bullet fired by the KPV was twice as strong as a Barrett bullet, so it was incredibly powerful.
Moreover, the current model was more advanced than the old one two hundred years ago. After firing, it only took one second to destroy a tank.
Overall, it looked like four large heavy machine guns fused together into a giant Gatling gun, and could only be used on the watchtower.
Using this firearm to fight the bug tide would mean that one bullet could kill several bugs.
He predicted that tomorrow's harvest would be measured in tens of thousands!
... ...
After getting off the defense wall, Zhou Yuan didn't rush back to his dormitory. Instead, he turned around and headed for the training ground.
He trained continuously from a little past seven in the morning until noon.
Feeling completely drained of energy, he finally returned to his dormitory to sleep.
He hoped to sleep until the evening so that he could go back to the defense wall as soon as he woke up.
Unfortunately.
The Blood of the Super Warrior was too intense. Despite feeling exhausted, he only managed to sleep for seven hours.
So, he went to the communication soldiers' living area again and found the two girls from yesterday. He engaged in a physical competition with them.
Time flew by while they were busy.
After two rounds, it was already close to eleven o'clock at night.
After getting dressed, Zhou Yuan left the communication soldiers' dormitory, leaving behind the two girls who were fast asleep in bed.
... ...
"Hey, captain!"
"Captain!"
When Zhou Yuan arrived at the stationed defense area, his team members were already in position.
"Well, let's go."
Zhou Yuan nodded and led them up the defense wall.
Many people had gathered on the defense wall, including three groups of eight teams and personnel from the arms department.
The personnel from the arms department were on the inner side of the defense wall, arranging a row of makeshift tables.
The tables were piled with various firearms and ammunition, including some whose models he couldn't even name. The personnel from the three groups of eight teams were also helping with the organization.
"We might have a tough battle to fight tomorrow morning!"
"It's the Insect Tide. I wonder what it will be like."
Seeing all those armaments, Zhou Yuan's team members couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The Insect Tide that had been attracted by the large communication window would definitely be massive, otherwise the arms department wouldn't have turned this place into an "ammunition depot."
"Zhou!"
Halen, the captain of the third group of eight teams, came forward and pulled Zhou Yuan aside, whispering, "Buddy, there's something I need to remind you about."
"The Plasma Worms won't climb up the highlands. The only ones that will come are Soldier Bugs and Locust Bugs. The Soldier Bugs aren't much trouble, but you have to be careful with the Locust Bugs."
"They are true killers, they like to launch surprise attacks from the air. By the time we can fight back, they'll already be above our heads."
"Thanks!"
Zhou Yuan nodded and hugged Halen.
Compared to the Soldier Bugs, the Locust Bugs were indeed very formidable opponents.
Although there were a large number of Soldier Bugs, the Tarcelis Fortress had a strong military force, including a large number of nuclear bombs that even the Soldier Bugs couldn't penetrate.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the Soldier Bugs couldn't even touch them.
The Locust Bugs were different. They were a flying species, with speeds comparable to that of peregrine falcons, reaching a hundred meters per second during a sprint.
They liked to travel in swarms, and once they started moving, there would be thousands of them. Moreover, they were very intelligent, never engaging in direct conflict with airborne forces, only targeting slower-moving opponents.
Therefore, the first thing to do upon seeing the Locust Bugs was to attack them.
Otherwise, even a momentary negligence could cost them their lives.
