The Great Sally Galaxy.

There was a vast white fog and flying dust.

The spearhead team raised their vigilance to the highest level, being careful all the way, avoiding the heavy patrols of the Zerg, and sneaking into the Zerg abyss.

The insect blood was like a huge maze, or an inverted spiral, filled with strange-shaped rocks, mucus, and the remains of various creatures, and a strong fishy smell permeated from top to bottom.

The soldiers endured the pungent stench and went deeper and deeper, erecting layer after layer of mental barriers to narrowly avoid countless Zergs.

The worm's acupoint is very deep.

The descent was slow.

The team members' mental strength was rapidly consumed like water from a floodgate. By the time they rushed to the lower level, everyone's face was pale with exhaustion.

There was just one unexpected thing. The guarding of the Zerg Xue was not as strict as they had imagined, so they walked all the way to the depths as if by divine help, and were lucky enough not to be discovered by any Zerg patrol soldiers.

"What good luck today," someone muttered, "I really hit the jackpot."

The leader of the sharp knife team and Qin Yuan looked at the sparse insect blood and gradually frowned.

...It's not a matter of good or bad luck.

It's the Zerg in Zergxue, and there are really fewer of them.

They still remembered the images sent back by the early investigators - densely packed, overwhelming Zerg, and heavily guarded guards, so that the investigators were completely unable to go deeper.

It was completely different from what they were seeing now.

Along the way, many Zerg caves were empty. The team entered with great anxiety and trepidation, only to find only debris and the useless husks of some Zerg bodies.

...This is not right.

As the infiltration progressed deeper and deeper, Qin Yuan felt more and more strange in his heart, and gradually a bad premonition emerged.

This bad feeling reached its peak when they reached the deepest layer and rushed into the bottom of the insect blood in one breath.

After turning the last few corners, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared before the spearhead team - the area that they predicted would be heavily guarded was now in ruins, and the place where the insect mother was predicted to be was empty, with only a pile of smelly mucus left!

The Worm Queen isn't here!

It was as if an invisible hand reached out from the void, instantly gripping everyone's heart, causing their blood to flow backwards, their faces to flush, and a sharp buzzing sound in their ears.

Someone blurted out: "...Fuck!"

Where did the insect mother go?

How could it not be here?!

If the Zerg Queen is really not here, if the Zerg's combat command center has been moved - then what is the point of their suicide attack?

"Calm down, everyone calm down!"

The captain's brows were furrowed, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He pinched his brows in pain and muttered, "This mucus proves that the Zerg Queen has indeed stayed here for a long time and laid eggs here. It is the Zerg's command center. If it is no longer here, it can only mean..."

The captain's voice suddenly stopped.

A horrible thought emerged in his mind, so terrifying that it made him lose his voice for a moment.

Qin Yuan spoke calmly, picking up the captain's words and analyzing: "...This shows that they have already implemented a strategic shift."

The cramped ground was cold and damp, yet a wind whistled softly, coming from somewhere.

In the dead silence, Qin Yuan turned around, his expression serious and his voice dry: "...I'm afraid the Great Sally Galaxy is no longer the focus of their attack."

"They're preparing to open up a new battlefield, and they're already implementing it. They've hidden it from all our detection... They want to catch humanity off guard!"

There was a long silence.

The air in the cave seemed to freeze, and everyone felt cold sweat breaking out and flowing down their spines, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out its tongue and its sharp fangs were touching their fragile hearts.

They didn't find the Zerg Queen, but discovered the Zerg's huge conspiracy.

Some people were puzzled: "A large-scale transfer... How did they bypass federal satellite detection?"

"Who knows?" Another person gritted his teeth. "At the very beginning of this war, the Zerg suddenly appeared before us."

"Over the years, the original cosmic wormhole's location has never changed. We all thought it was fixed. But what if the Zerg actually possesses the ability to move the wormhole..."

“Then why weren’t they used earlier?”

"Perhaps their capabilities are limited, so they can only be used once every few decades? Or perhaps there's a price to pay, and that price is very severe for them."

"...No matter what, this matter must be reported to the military!"

The captain spoke with difficulty, his hands clenched into fists.

His face looked extremely ugly.

But behind him, the team members looked equally desperate.

Someone whispered, "No, Captain, I've run out of mental energy."

"Just maintaining the barrier and avoiding being discovered by the Zerg is already a struggle. Backtracking and trying to break out of the Zerg chamber won't work. We can't hold out for that long..."

"Yeah Captain, what should we do?"

Everyone felt helpless and at a loss.

They are all brilliant geniuses of the Federation, and their mental power levels are all above A-level. Even the leading captain is a rare S-level.

But along the way, they had nearly run into the Zerg countless times, and their mental strength had been depleted again and again. At this moment, they had really reached the point of being exhausted.

After all, when they rushed in at the beginning, they didn't think about going back.

They were ready to embark on a road of no return.

The captain licked his back teeth so hard that the roots of his teeth were almost broken.

The rustling sound was coming from far away. The Zerg patrols were approaching. If they didn't come up with a solution quickly, they would soon be discovered.

...But, I can't think of any solution.

...There is absolutely no hope.

He was a smart man. In just half a minute, his thoughts had gone through countless circles. More than a dozen plans were established and then rejected in his mind... Every idea was unworkable, and every plan, when deduced to the end, was a dead end.

This won’t do, the captain thought painfully, now it’s not a question of whether they will sacrifice themselves or not.

If this news is not spread, the Zerg's strategic purpose will be concealed. When they suddenly launch an attack, many galaxies will be caught off guard and may suffer a catastrophic disaster.

That concerns the life and death of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of human beings!

Deep in the insect axue, a group of people looked at each other, as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

But no matter what, the exhausted team members couldn't think of a better solution.

Just when everyone was showing despair, a clear and calm voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't panic, I have a way to try."

Qin Yuan said softly, raising his hand to take off the red rope on his wrist.

The clear crystal beads reflected brilliant light and were picked up by the young man's slender fingers, as if he was holding a ray of sunshine on his fingertips.

Combining what Zhou Feng and Han Tianming said, Qin Yuan roughly guessed what this thing was. He raised his right hand and whispered, "Everyone, come closer to me. Gather closer."

After saying that, he exerted force with his right hand and crushed the light ball!

A warm, bright light, carrying everyone's hope, suddenly ignited in the deepest part of the insect's blood. A warm current lingered, like a gentle breeze brushing across the warriors' faces, refreshing them with an intoxicating freshness.

More importantly, at that moment, the energy was like a gurgling stream rising in the spring rain, flowing through the body with joy, all fatigue was eliminated, and all scars were healed.

Everyone was shocked.

What kind of miraculous power is this?!

Qin Yuan instantly became the focus of everyone.

Facing a group of teammates with burning eyes, he was also very excited, but he suppressed his joy and lowered his voice: "Let's go quickly."

"This time, my mental strength should be enough."

…

Yalan Star.

Deep underground, Gu Qiongsheng suddenly turned around and glanced into the distant void.

At that moment, she sensed that the crystal bead she had sent out had been activated.

Since the crystal beads were used, he must have encountered danger. I just don’t know whether it was Han Tianming or Qin Yuan.

Gu Qiongsheng was a little anxious and subconsciously thought that it would be better if the system had a remote connection function or a positioning and transmission function.

But on second thought, the system is already so buggy, and it’s really a bit unreasonable for her to still want to make requests.

"I hope they are all okay."

Gu Qiongsheng murmured, then turned back to look at Zhou Feng: "Sister Zhou, let's go back quickly."

There are too many things to report to the Federation.

The Zerg underground of Yalan Star are dead, but the life minerals still exist. With such a large amount of resources obtained, the Federation's mecha corps finally has hope within reach.

But at the same time, the underground Zerg Xue also reminded them that there are seventy or eighty Recapture Stars similar to Yalan Star. How many of them are hiding Zerg larvae?

During the recapture, were the Zerg really repelled by the Federation?

Or is it using retreat as bait, waiting for a sudden outbreak one day, dragging all of humanity into a new round of disaster?

Gu Qiongsheng didn't want to believe from the bottom of her heart that the Zerg could have such a long-term plan, but an inexplicable premonition in her heart told her that all this might be true.

The federation must be reported immediately.

"Wait," Zhou Feng said, "bring him along."

She pointed at Lao Liu who had already died.

Lao Liu is dead.

His pupils were dilated, but his eyes were wide open, with an expression of shock and anger fixed on his face. It was obvious that he died with his eyes open.

If his last jump was not to sacrifice himself, but to launch a suicide attack on Gu Qiongsheng or Zhou Feng, with the sharpness of the spider's sting, there might really be hope of causing some trouble for the people in front of him.

But he was too ambitious and wanted to bury all four people underground, and in the end he lost his last chance to fight to the death.

Until the end, Lao Liu still couldn't figure out where the other half of the energy went.

Unfortunately, now he can only go to hell and ask the devil with this doubt.

The four of them worked together to lift Lao Liu's body off the spikes. However, during the shaking, a thin film suddenly fell from Lao Liu's face, and large streams of dark blue blood gushed out from his ears, nose and mouth.

“Sizzle…”

The moment the film hits the ground, it turns into a wisp of smoke in an instant, just like a dewdrop encountering high temperature.

The dark blue blood also suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared completely from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qiongsheng turned around in surprise, only to find that the blue mucus had disappeared from the place where she had stepped on the spider.

Spider worms have the magical ability to devour spiritual power, and they themselves seem to be condensed from spiritual power. At this moment, the vitality they rely on to maintain their lives has completely dissipated, and they have also completely dissipated along with their souls, leaving no trace.

Seeing this scene, several people frowned.

"The evidence is gone," Zhou Feng muttered softly, frowning in pain, "This is not going to be easy..."

She thought about it and carried Lao Liu's body on her shoulders: "Forget it, never mind, take him out first. Whether we can analyze the results depends on whether Wei Lan can help. Let's go!"

…

When it returned to the base, the satellite had completed its self-inspection.

Zhou Feng hurried to send a message, while Gu Qiongsheng winked at He Kun. He Kun understood and immediately took them to the hall.

After going through so many things, he is now completely convinced of Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing. He takes them to the cafeteria, with a friendly smile on his face all the way, constantly asking about their well-being and being very attentive.

The other soldiers' eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

——Is this still their aloof and face-conscious Brother Kun?

Cao Xinming couldn't hold back any longer and came over to ask quietly, "Brother Kun, what's wrong with you?"

"That's right," someone nearby started to jeer, "What on earth did those two little girls feed you?"

He Kun raised his eyelids and curled his lips: "Go away, what are you talking about? Do you think you can call me a little girl?"

He just waved his hand to drive the person away, thought for a moment, and suddenly pulled the person back by the corner of his clothes: "Wait, Xiao Cao, I remember you have a few bags of snacks hidden in your room..."

Cao Xinming shuddered and yanked back the corner of his clothes: "No, who said that?"

Snacks are a rare thing.

Yalan Star is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation. There are very few transport ships coming, and the soldiers have very few opportunities to return home. Each time they return home, they try to bring back as much food as possible and store it carefully so that they can eat for a longer period of time.

"I'll pay you back next time." He Kun patted his shoulder. "The main thing is... you see, these two girls came all the way here, and we didn't prepare anything to entertain them..."

Cao Xinming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Kun, what's wrong with you? That's not what you said before you left."

He counted on his fingers, analyzing carefully: "Let me think... Since they are recognized by Brother Kun, they should not be young ladies who come here to gild themselves. But even if they are not, there is no reason for them to be praised so highly by Brother Kun, so..."

Cao Xinming paused and asked curiously, "They must have something special, right, Brother Kun?"

"What exactly is it, combat power? Reconnaissance power? Reaction power?"

"Hmm...it can't be a healing spell."

He Kun lowered his voice and gave him a thumbs up: "You finally hit the point."

"That healer... well, it shouldn't be called a healing technique at all."

"It should be called divine skill. Do you understand divine skill?"
