Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Life is a spiral that never stops...

Due to the distance, Tao Ying and Chester Star have completely lost contact. The resonance system is disconnected, and the number of online users is 0.

But for Tao Ying, it didn't have much impact.

The Lemen Monitoring Center had done everything it could, and it was difficult to help her any further.

What she is concerned about now is how the various monitoring stations cooperate with each other and how their weapons attack.

The purpose of luring the insect swarm here is, of course, to catch them all in one fell swoop.

The nearby orbital defense platforms and small defense bases had just received the cooperation plan from the Lemen Monitoring Center, as well as the shooting plan provided by Tao Ying himself.

We are currently debugging the weapons and making final preparations.

Even the smallest secret defense base nearby received the news. Their defense base was relatively closed, with full camouflage, and could not be found on the map, so the message was sent by Tao Ying personally.

The person in charge was completely confused by what Tao Ying said. Although he didn't quite understand, he agreed in a daze.

"Why do you feel like it's so easy to convince others today?"

Tao Ying muttered to herself.

She didn't even have time to do anything tricky or take out Litiana's autograph.

These people agreed to cooperate.

But saving some time is certainly a good thing.

Now all we have to do is wait for all the shells to be loaded and then mow down the swarm.

Tao Ying was completely unaware of the inexplicable obedience of others. With her already overflowing mental strength, she lowered her head to confirm the time again.

In five minutes, the swarm of insects here will disappear in the concentrated fire of artillery shells.

Tao Ying casually took off the military cap on Sylvia's head, put his index finger on the brim of the cap, turned it around thoughtfully twice, and then deftly put the military cap on his own head.

When he looked down again, Sylvia was gone.

The cockpit was empty, with no sign of the tentacle monster.

They have completely merged.

"Tick, tick."

Tao Ying looked calmly outside Hengwo.

In the deep universe, countless swarms of insects gradually awakened and faced her.

The timer on my hand is still ticking.

Time is decreasing little by little.

This is the countdown of countless lives.

Maybe it's from the swarm, maybe it's from humans.

Maybe it's hers.

"Come on, come closer."

Tao Ying said.

The Zerg dragged its body, like a wild beast following the scent to find food, slowly approaching the end of Taoying's cable.

However, the swarm of insects that continued to gather towards the center suddenly stopped at a certain moment.

The swarm regained its composure.

First, one of them shook its tentacles as if it was electrified, then two, three, ten, and twenty.

A large group of insects turned around in confusion, looking at the surrounding environment, not knowing why they were here.

At the same time, several A-level insect queens broke free from the control of pheromones and took the lead in controlling the people of their own kingdom and encroaching on the surrounding areas.

The B-level and C-level insect queens also calmed down and began to command the insect swarm to move, but because it was too crowded, the insect waves hit each other, and the insect swarms on the edge gradually began to expand the protective circle around.

Like ripples floating on the plane of the universe, the swarm of insects spread out in circles.

The uncontrollable situation has begun to show signs.

Inside a small defense base nearby.

The person in charge walked back and forth: "Why are those Zergs getting so agitated?"

"The amount of gall insect pheromones is small. We've already controlled it to a level safe for nearby humans. Plus, it's been so long that it's not very effective in attracting the swarm anymore."

"If the Zerg lose control, won't they attack that mech?"

"No, Tao Ying has reserved time. We can fire the shells before the Zerg get out of control. If successful, we can kill all of them."

"That's even more wrong! There's a rift behind her. If the target is the location she just gave, where is she going to hide?"

"The S-class Zerg Queen in her possession has awakened and is currently still playing a role. If she leaves, the Zerg Queen will completely lose control and the Zerg swarm will be in disarray. She has already determined the position of the artillery shells, so it's clear she had no intention of leaving from the beginning."

"this……"

The argument stopped.

Can a mecha withstand the artillery shells that destroy the huge swarm of insects?

They looked at Tao Ying with awe, as if they were looking at someone going to die.

Lemen Monitoring Center.

After Tao Ying left the competition venue, she only sent them one message and then completely lost contact. The people at the center could only obtain her route and status information from the extraterrestrial outposts that Tao Ying passed by.

"According to the information provided by Commander Qingxuan of the First Outpost of the Yak Federation, they will attack positions A2, B34, and C78 in one minute. All main guns will fire simultaneously, and the secondary guns will maintain maximum output for ten minutes."

"The orders at the Tianji outposts are similar. They all start with armor penetration and then continue with the output. The timing is slightly staggered, probably to fully cover the firepower at all times."

"The news coming from Xuanji, Yaoguang, and other nearby outposts is similar."

Irina raised her hand. "So Tao Ying never requested protection from any outpost? She was always asking for firepower?"

"No."

"She didn't contact you either?"

"No."

Ye Xinghui's voice was somewhat silent.

He checked all the outposts and even tried to hack into Tao Ying's computer as before - but failed.

In order to guard against Mobius, Hengwo's firewall was once greatly strengthened, and now Ye Xinghui is unable to break through it.

Irina: "Is there no other way? Find a way to get her out of that position."

Ye Xinghui: "The possibility is very small, and..."

"With the destruction of nearby planets, huh?"

Litiana stepped forward and stretched out her hand to stop him.

"We can't save her."

Litiana spoke with great force.

"The safety of all the people in the galaxy is the top priority. Even if there is a way, no one would risk losing tens of millions of lives to save her alone. As a friend, I understand your thoughts, but as the king of the Reval Empire, I cannot."

"Please understand."

Ye Xinghui planned to force his way through the nearby outpost, and Irina also wanted to do something.

The royal guards noticed their movements and quickly drew their electromagnetic rifles. Litiana blocked the guards' presence with her hands and shook her head, signaling them to retreat.

She said to Ye Xinghui, "Tao Ying didn't contact us in advance because she knew you wouldn't agree."

"This is Tao Ying's choice. You know we can't stop it."

“She always does what she wants to do.”

Ye Xinghui: "Yes, she is."

She is always like this.

She decides everything.

Ye Xinghui pursed his lips tightly and said, "But I also have my choice."

Irina thought of someone's death video and her eyes turned red. "Asshole, you're doing this again, huh? I'll beat her to death later!"

As Irina spoke, she seemed to not quite believe this possibility and choked twice.

"When she comes back alive this time... I will definitely beat her up..."

Starship medical bay.

Lin Biege pushed the pale Nan Gua into the operating room: "Pumpkin, hold on!"

After the door of the emergency room was closed, Lin Biege walked around in a panic, occasionally looking inside the small transparent window, but he could only see a large amount of blood flying onto the ceiling in an instant. The fragments injured Nan Gua's femoral aorta. The circulating nurse confirmed the blood information and ran out quickly.

The surgeon pressed on the broken blood vessels: "Lower your blood pressure to 30!"

"Where's the blood bag?! Hasn't it arrived yet?"

"With so many wounded, where can the starship find the corresponding blood supply? They've all been used up!"

There was no blood bag and no way to replenish fluids. Lin Biege's blood pressure dropped rapidly. He was extremely anxious. Suddenly, the 127 communicator at hand rang.

Huh? Didn't they say this person is in the center of the swarm and no one can contact her?

Lin Biege didn't have time to think about it and quickly answered: "Shadow?"

"Leave the blood and go to the cold storage to tell me your name."

"You, you knew this in advance?!"

"No time for nonsense, let's run."

Lin Biege took a long step and ran quickly in the corridor, then quickly found the only remaining box of blood in the corner of the cold storage designated by Tao Ying. There was no mark on it, as if it was specially left for them.

She quickly reported the blood to the circulating nurse.

"Blood, hurry up!"

The circulating nurse waved her over, quickly carried the cooler inside, and slammed the door.

The operation is still going on in full swing.

Lin Biege felt so anxious as if he had drunk ten times the amount of coffee, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Tao Ying's calm voice came from the other end: "Don't be too nervous, he must have been injured by flying shrapnel during the retreat. He can be saved as long as there is blood."

"How did you figure that out... Never mind, you're smarter than me anyway."

Lin Biege grumbled a few times and gave up asking further questions, but she turned and said angrily, "Why do you all care so little about your lives and rush forward? Oh, and what happened to you? I heard from Teacher Ji that you led the insect swarm to the largest rift. Are you trying to save your life? And just now, someone who called himself Xiaoye contacted me for no apparent reason and asked if I had received any contact from you..."

Tao Ying: "How did you answer?"

Lin Biege was confused: "Of course I hung up. It sounded like a scam call."

Tao Ying's voice seemed to pause.

She even laughed.

"Who has the time to call you at a time like this... Never mind, it's nothing. I'll answer him myself. Put the communicator aside and don't hang up yet."

“Why put it aside?”

"I suggest you don't listen."

As soon as Tao Ying finished speaking, Lin Biege's laptop made two clicks, and at the same time, the countdown had reached the end.

The dark universe is now illuminated by endless light.

A dazzling light came from the porthole——

Like a star, like the universe, like the world at its birth.

It makes it hard to open your eyes.

In the empty universe, there was no sound at first, but at this moment, the sound of countless artillery shells was heard.

The source of those lights is fire.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that the trajectories of the shells were perfectly intertwined, but the direction they were flying was towards the same place.

A mecha as elegant as the midnight sun.

Its arms were broken, and it just stood in front of the crack, looking in the direction of Chester Star.

The abyss is its background and the universe is its womb.

"Moon Barrier."

Tao Ying's soft humming seemed to be heard from inside the mecha.

The 3S-level mental shield opened instantly, followed by a violent vibration.

The protective shield was broken layer by layer.

Finally, the sound disappeared in the light that illuminated everything.

"Xiaoying!" "Boss!" "Asshole, you can't--"

"S, you've finally come this far."

Mobius' voice came.

Tao Ying had no time to listen.

She closed her eyes and hummed softly, as if she could hear the sound of cannon barrels turning slightly in the universe.

Then gradually, the singing stopped.

The communicator held in his hand floated up from his palm.

And that black mecha, the first sentient mecha in human history, disappeared in the crossfire with its pilot after a strong flash of light.

In the empty universe, everyone seemed to hear an echo.

The last words left by the pilot who died were—

Life is a spiral that never stops.

And you and I will fight until the end of our lives.
