Following closely behind Tan Yao, the entire mecha team also landed one by one. The dull sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and the stream of bullets was dense, like a torrential rain, madly firing at the Zerg who had already suffered heavy casualties.
This was a team that Gu Qiongsheng had secretly hidden. She guessed that there must be Zerg parasites among the top leaders of the Federation. In order to prevent the news that the mechas had been put into use from being exposed, she had Tan Yao and others training in secret, just to become a surprise force at this moment.
"Da da da da!"
As Gu Qiongsheng expected, Tan Yao was a mecha genius. In just a few months, he completely mastered this big guy.
Driven by mental power and integrated with thoughts, every move of the mecha is perfectly coordinated with him. Even the ejected bullets and fire can be switched back and forth freely between physical bullets and mental flames!
Amidst the flames, Sheng Zhang knelt on one knee, his knee submerged in a pool of dark blue blood.
The blazing orange flames flickered, illuminating his paper-white face. Dark blue blood flowed like a river, reflecting the Zerg corpses piled up like a mountain.
He was shaking and trembling all over, with every hair standing on end. It was unclear whether it was out of anger or fear.
The nonchalant look on the baby's face finally disappeared completely, and Sheng Zhang could no longer say words like "very interesting".
He just panted heavily, then suddenly raised his head and roared loudly: "Gu Qiongsheng, do you think you can defeat me like this?"
"I combine the wisdom of humans with the powerful body of the Zerg. If we're to talk about the most powerful life form in the universe, it's clearly me!"
As he roared, his eyes lit up with blue light again, and the high-intensity blue light was like a laser, transmitting far into the sky.
Sheng Zhang's eyes quickly became bloodshot.
The dark blue blood flowed down the eyelids, forming a shallow depression on the lower eyelid.
He seemed to feel no pain, only looked at Gu Qiongsheng with a ferocious expression: "Guess who I called?"
Gu Qiongsheng looked at him coldly.
His gaze was colder than ever before, as if he had scooped up a handful of frost that had been frozen for a thousand years on a snowy peak.
But at the same time, her chest began to beat rapidly, "thump, thump."
Who else can Sheng Zhang call?
It can only be...
The buzzing sound of the drive resounded throughout the world, and a huge starship that looked like an aerial fortress broke through the thick clouds and quietly appeared in the sky above the Xiling Star.
Hidden in the turbulence of the universe for many years, its hull has become very dilapidated, covered with scars and marks of repairs everywhere.
But the large logo welded on the front end of the starship is still clear and distinct, as if a bright little sun is hanging in the vast sky.
——It was the starship that the Dawn Legion was driving when they disappeared.
Everyone's expression changed.
On the ground, Gu Qiongsheng's hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly into fists, and veins were faintly bulging on the back of his hands.
The ship's door opened and a team of soldiers walked out quickly.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a broad face, a square face, deep eye sockets, and skin that seemed to have been exposed to wind and sun, and looked very rough.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Qiongsheng. His pupils were the same dark blue as Sheng Zhang's. His eyes were deep and complex, containing many indescribable emotions.
But when he spoke, he only spoke in a low voice.
"Girl, long time no see."
…
In the light of the fire, Gu Qiongsheng's eyes gradually turned red.
The original owner's emotions surged in an instant, merging with her own anger and transforming into rapidly flowing, boiling blood, making her entire chest burn and her breath hot.
After a long silence, Gu Qiongsheng opened his mouth slightly, his voice hoarse: "...Dad."
"A year ago, was it you who sent the last signal from Xiling Star?"
Father Gu looked at her with a gloomy expression and nodded slightly.
Gu Qiongsheng burst into laughter and said, "I knew it!"
The Dawn Legion is so powerful, how could it be controlled by the Zerg without any resistance?
In places that the Federation couldn't see, they must have paid a heavy price for resisting Sheng Zhang's control.
If it weren't for the signal sent from Xiling Star, the soul bugs would have been able to sneak into the military headquarters and other legions without being noticed, until the situation became uncontrollable - but the final resistance of the Dawn Legion avoided that scene. They never betrayed, nor did they ever abandon humanity!
Gu Qiongsheng pursed his lips and asked again, "So what about now? Is there nothing we can do?"
Father Gu responded to her with an apologetic look.
Sheng Zhang laughed wildly in the back: "What other solution is there?"
"A year has passed, and their souls have long been bound to the Soul Worms. You are in me, I am in you—they have become a completely new species, just like me, neither human nor Zerg!"
"Gu Qiongsheng, don't you think you're awesome and that humans are full of wisdom? Then you guys should solve this problem."
"The most promising life form in the universe, but he's nothing but a weakling who can't even save his own father!"
The wind was howling and the air was filled with smoke.
The blazing fire illuminated Gu Qiongsheng's face, dyeing her fair cheeks a rosy red.
After a moment's silence, she raised her head, and her amber eyes seemed to be surging with gold, like a roaring volcano and magma gushing out.
Gu Qiongsheng gestured behind him and said crisply, "Attack."
Han Tianming, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly, "Sister Qiongsheng, do you really want to fight?"
"Isn't the one being controlled your father?"
Gu Qiongsheng said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because he is my father that I must fight him."
She stared at Father Gu, a soft light flashing in her eyes, but then it was replaced by determination.
"My father, I understand," her voice drifted in the air, dissipating amidst the hail of bullets. "He is my hero, a hero of mankind. He and his brothers would never want to see me become the half-human, half-ghost I am today."
The morning light is the light of dawn.
"Even if I fall at this moment closest to dawn..."
Gu Qiongsheng pulled hard with his right hand, and the silk thread instantly became taut.
Thousands of silk threads passed over Gu's father's shoulders and rolled towards Sheng Zhang behind him.
Flames shot up into the sky, and close combat erupted in all directions. Amidst clusters of sparks, Gu Qiongsheng opened his arms, his eyes sparkling with tears. "Dad, look, I reorganized the Dawn Legion. Now it's called Dawn."
Her hairband was broken, and her black hair fluttered in the wind. Her white clothes reflected the firelight, fluttering like red sleeves.
"These are all my comrades, the assault team, the vanguard team, the artillery team, and the mecha team... How about it, isn't it rich enough? Did the girl not embarrass you?"
Father Gu finally smiled.
He gathered his spiritual power into a weapon to block the sharp threads. At the same time, he raised the corners of his lips with difficulty, his cheek muscles were stiff, but his eyes were soft and warm.
"Remarkable," he exclaimed in admiration, "My girl, she is indeed better than me."
Zhou Qing's black sickle attacked from the side at an extremely fast speed, but was barely blocked by Gu's father who leaned sideways.
Gu Qiongsheng continued, "Dad, this is Zhou Qing, my best friend and our team's main attacker. Look at her scythe skills, isn't she very good at it?"
"Smooth!" Father Gu laughed as he fought the giant sickle at high speed. "She's really good at wielding such a weapon at such a young age. She'll be great in the future. Girl, she can at least become a lieutenant general in the future."
Gu Qiongsheng raised his head proudly: "Not only that, Zhou Qing will become a marshal in the future!"
Weapons collided and sparks flew.
During the fierce battle, Zhou Qing's face turned red silently.
Han Tianming came over quickly, his purple eyes were so intense that they seemed to be dripping with blood, but his voice was extremely sweet: "Uncle, I am also a member of Sister Qiongsheng's team! Can I also be a marshal?"
Under her hypnosis, Father Gu hesitated for a moment, and the silk threads failed to stop him and immediately entangled his left arm.
Coming back to his senses, he couldn't help coughing a few times and laughed out loud: "Yes, I think so!"
Weng Wei pushed forward with his head down. His round body had never been so flexible before. His little eyes rolled around: "Me, and me! Uncle, look at me, can I do it?"
A large shield passed over Gu's father's shoulders and gathered directly behind him, blocking Sheng Zhang's retreat as he was running away.
Father Gu caught a glimpse of this and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This is also possible! Girl, where did you find all these little geniuses?"
"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"
With a loud rumble, the shells fell to the ground, creating a large crater.
The impact hit Sheng Zhang head-on as he was fleeing, creating a hurricane that pushed him back to where he was.
Tan Yao's voice rang out from the loudspeaker: "Fuck, you guys are so cunning. You're bullying me by not showing my face, right?"
"Uncle, my name is Tan Yao, and I can drive a mecha! Look, I'll show you a W-shaped slide and a main gun gun flower—"
Father Gu's eyes lit up even more: "Oh, this is awesome!"
The artillery fire was raging, and Sheng Zhang was forced to flee in panic.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but turn around and yelled in despair, "Stop nagging me! I called you here to cover my retreat, not to have a family reunion tea party!"
"Get over here!"
As the young man roared hysterically, Father Gu involuntarily leaped backwards, protecting Sheng Zhang tightly behind him.
He gave Gu Qiongsheng a helpless look and shook his head: "Hurry up and fight, girl. There's no time to talk. If you don't hurry up, this guy will really escape."
Sheng Zhang fled at full speed, shouting in anger, "What the hell are you talking about! Have some self-awareness! You're on my side now!"
Gu Qiongsheng raised his head, his eyes scornfully directed at Sheng Zhang, and muttered, "It's okay, he can't escape."
"I won't let him get away."
Even though he is in a rather embarrassing state right now, the ability that Sheng Zhang demonstrated today is enough to shake the foundation of humanity.
Even if all the cards in his hand were sacrificed on this battlefield, as long as Sheng Zhang himself could escape and as long as the soul worm was still there, it would be difficult to dig out the parasites in the upper echelons of the Federation, and he would be able to continue to corrupt humanity until one day a catastrophic disaster occurred.
"I'd rather die than stop you."
Gu Qiongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the silk thread in his hand melted and transformed into a bow like a bright moon.
She pulled the bowstring, her flexible waist bent like a crescent moon, and three white arrows condensed from her spiritual power were carried on it, and then she suddenly let go!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The arrow flew over Gu's father's shoulder and aimed at Sheng Zhang's back.
Sheng Zhang heard the sound of breaking air from behind him, and without turning around, he just sneered: "Idiot, you knew I could devour spiritual power, but you still rushed to give it to me... Ouch!"
The arrow penetrated his flesh, and although he absorbed some of it, it still cut through his skin, causing dark blue blood to splatter!
"Hiss, you—" Sheng Zhang was incredulous. "What did you attach to the arrow?"
Gu Qiongsheng narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and drew his bow again: "It's just a little purifying healing power. Is my spiritual power tasty? Let me give it another try."
Sheng Zhang: "!!!"
The purifying force was integrated into the mental arrow. The moment it was hit, it seemed to penetrate into his bones, causing him to gasp in pain and beads of sweat to appear on his forehead.
The young man's escape was obviously slowed down.
He stared intently at the starship not far ahead, moving forward with difficulty, step by step, and constantly shouting in his heart: Just get on board, just get on board...
As long as he gets on board the starship, he can be the first to escape from the suicidal rearguard of the Dawn Legion.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Sheng Zhang licked his back teeth fiercely, thinking that as long as he could escape, sooner or later, he would make sure that all the members of the Dawn Team would be killed without a burial place!
The starship was getting closer and closer, and Sheng Zhang could already see the tall hatch.
He endured the pain and took another step forward.
"boom!!!"
Suddenly, the starship was hit by a flash of white light, and a huge flame erupted into the sky.
In Sheng Zhang's eyes, the huge ship's hull fell apart in slow motion. The hull weighing several tons fell off, revealing dense cables flashing with electric sparks, the cockpit, the energy tank... Everything was falling, taking his hope of escape with it. Then, with another earth-shaking "boom", it turned into a handful of grand fireworks that covered the entire sky and almost blinded everyone!
Sheng Zhang: "..."
Father Gu: “…Wow.”
The fireworks ended, and countless metal pieces of steel flew everywhere.
Sheng Zhang stared at the charred wreckage of the starship in front of him for a long time, then fell to the ground with weak legs.
...Why did it explode?
That’s a starship, the most powerful weapon carrier in the interstellar age, and it has countless layers of protective shields!
The thick smoke dissipated, and a slender figure emerged from the fog: "Ahem..."
His fair face was covered in dust, but this didn't affect Qin Yuan's handsomeness at all. He wiped the dust off his cheeks, raised his head slightly, and raised his pale lips slightly, revealing a comfortable smile to Sheng Zhang.
"This is my first time blowing up a starship," Qin Yuan said calmly, "Thanks for your sponsorship. It feels so good to blow it up."
Sheng Zhang: "!!!"
Damn, forget about this guy!
He could even kill the insect queen in one fell swoop. For Qin Yuan, the biggest combat power bug in interstellar history, blowing up a starship was not a difficult task.
Sheng Zhang's face turned pale and blue.
It's not that he ignored Qin Yuan on his own initiative. The main reason is that since he killed the Insect Mother, Qin Yuan has fallen into a coma due to weakness. Sheng Zhang judged that he would not be able to wake up soon, let alone have the strength to fight back.
But no one expected that this guy would wake up, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly sneaked up to the side of the starship and blew up his last retreat in one fell swoop!
He did not help Gu Qiongsheng kill the Zerg, did not help the Dawn Squad stop Gu's father, and did not support other members of the Dawn Legion. He only aimed at the starship.
The battlefield was so chaotic, but Qin Yuan was able to take in the entire situation as soon as he woke up and accurately find the most critical entry point!
Sheng Zhang's lower lip was almost bitten off by himself, and a faint fishy smell came out of his mouth.
The retreat is blocked.
There was no chance of his escape.
Only by killing, killing Gu Qiongsheng, and killing all the people in the Dawn Legion, can he escape.
Sheng Zhang closed his eyes deeply, then opened them suddenly.
He turned around, his chest almost exploding with anger, and was about to give the order to fight back to the death, but suddenly, the buzzing sound of approaching starships was heard in the sky again.
Sheng Zhang looked up in surprise.
But I saw two large starships landing in the sky, one with a bright full moon and the other with dazzling stars.
——It’s the Silver Legion and the Star Legion!
Reinforcements from the Dawn Legion are here!
Cheers rang out on Xiling Star. The starship landed and soldiers from the two legions filed out.
Admiral Qin stepped out of the cabin with a serious expression and a furrowed brow - as the highest-ranking general of Yinhui, he actually took command personally.
"Xiao Yuan?" He looked around. "Gu Qiongsheng? How are you guys? Where is the parasite?"
Staff Officer Wu also walked out of the starship with his general, his face full of excitement: "Gu Qiongsheng, we are here to support you!"
"You said you'd prioritize equipping our legion with healers as long as it helps. Is that true?"
Amidst the noise, Sheng Zhang's expression grew worse and worse.
Gu Qiongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled happily as he looked at the large number of reinforcements.
"Of course it's true," she said with a smile, "I'd like to ask for your help to control the enemy."
"Yes, if possible, please don't hurt them, just keep it under control."
"Except Sheng Zhang—the short, baby-faced young man in front."
"He is the leader of the parasites, the culprit behind everything. Please help me tear him into pieces."
…
The Dawn Legion is still relatively small in number, so when facing the Morning Light, they can only fight hard.
But with the addition of Yinhui and Fanxing's men, the situation was completely different. Each Dawn Warrior was surrounded by at least 3 to 5 people. Due to the huge disparity in numbers, they were quickly tied up tightly by various binding skills and fell to the ground.
Dawn's team of healers were interspersed on the battlefield, led by Doctor Zou, who constantly used the "Purification Flash" inherited from Gu Qiongsheng to prevent other soldiers from being parasitized by soul worms.
With them and the mecha army, the soul bugs could no longer restrain the warriors, and the battle eventually turned into a one-sided massacre.
By the time the last Dawn Warrior was subdued, Sheng Zhang finally lost all his strength and was shot through the chest by Gu Qiongsheng's arrow.
He fell to the ground, blinking blankly as he saw a river of blood beneath him.
It seemed as if he was wondering why he had obtained the power of the Insect Mother and had made all the plans, but still ended up with a tragic death?
He turned his head with difficulty and looked up at Gu Qiongsheng.
It was terrifying, this girl was terrifying. No matter how many cards he had, they were all revealed one by one by Gu Qiongsheng. It seemed like she was always one step ahead of him.
If it happens again, he must not become an enemy of this girl...
The light in Sheng Zhang's pupils gradually faded, and until the last second, his pupils were still fixed with a look of fear.
The young man's chest stopped rising and falling, and a few minutes later, dark blue blood suddenly flowed out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
At this point, the spider that was parasitic in his soul finally disappeared completely.
The strange thing was that the moment Sheng Zhang died, the Dawn Warriors also began to twist in pain, screaming in agony, with dark blue blood flowing from their mouths and noses.
"Eh?" Gu Qiongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's spiders, the spiders are dying!"
Compared with other insect species, spider worms rely more on spiritual imprints. Now that they have lost Sheng Zhang, the "mother insect", they are unable to hold on and are dying one after another.
Doctor Zou half-knelt on the ground, felt the soldier's pulse, and frowned.
"The vital signs are fading," he whispered. "It seems that the boy was not lying. These people are too deeply integrated with the spiders. If the spiders die now, they will not survive either."
Gu Qiongsheng's eyes were blazing: "That may not be the case."
"Move them together quickly so I can try!"
Everyone present was convinced by Gu Qiongsheng and immediately took action to move everyone together.
Gu Qiongsheng began to use his skills quickly, skill one, skill two, skill three... and the magical resurrection skill.
Warm healing skills covered the earth, and with her unremitting efforts, the Dawn Warriors fell into coma, but their breathing gradually became stable.
At the same time, a white light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
The rising sun paints the clouds red, its brilliant light streaming down into the heavens. Bathed in the morning light, all creatures feel reborn.
After the longest night in history, the dawn of the alliance has finally arrived.
