Chapter 120

"Forced connection successful, adjusting."

The scene inside the fighter plane appeared intermittently on the screen of the command center.

Ni Hengmu turned on the sound, "Your Highness, can you hear me?"

There was no response from the other side, only a burst of noise.

Ni Hengmu tilted his head and said, "Be prepared to pursue and forcibly block the attack if necessary."

"It has been activated, but the weapons cache has been unloaded because the backup fighters are being repaired."

As soon as the words fell, the central screen suddenly became clear.

The command center fell silent for a moment, and everyone present turned their gazes over.

A Zerg nest filled with white secretions, corpses and remains, and An Zhi in the center.

Most of An Zhi's body was covered with white secretions and was pinned to the floor. Her right hand was holding the hilt of the sword, but the blade had been broken in the middle.

The sword blade attached with spiritual power has never broken. This situation will only occur when the spiritual power is suddenly withdrawn.

Ni Hengmu clenched his fists.

No matter what the reason, when facing the Overlord, withdrawing the spiritual power from the sword blade is almost equivalent to giving up resistance.

No matter how strong the human body is, it cannot withstand the sharp mouthparts of the queen insect.

Next to An Zhi was the king insect, which was devouring the young man. There was no blood left in the young man's body, but he still had his eyes closed and looked peaceful, as if he were still alive.

Only a few body parts were left in the fighter plane.

An Zhi had been fixed there before, watching it devour them bit by bit.

An Zhi was originally staring at the king insect eating with her head tilted to the side. She looked very calm.

But just after the communication was connected, she noticed something, turned her head, and looked directly at the camera.

An Zhi seemed to know that someone was watching him, so he took the initiative to speak, but his tone showed that even he was confused, and there was also a hint of frustration in his voice.

At this time, she showed a little bit of the immaturity of a cub.

"The mental power is out of control, and the extermination mission has failed."

Maybe this can't be said to be out of control.

Her mental power is now completely unusable.

An Zhi couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe it.

She didn't know that this was a reaction to strong co-regulation, a process that often lasts for more than 30 minutes during the first co-regulation.

An Zhi came to this world in a hurry and took a glance at it, and he didn't know much yet.

Maybe she should feel pain, but An Zhi only felt relieved at this moment.

"I feel the fighter plane is activated. It is preparing to escape, right?"

Ni Hengmu turned on the voice communication and responded to An Zhi, "Yes, Your Highness, please hold on a moment. Fighter planes will be dispatched soon to pursue us."

The king insect had put down the young man and moved closer to An Zhi. It was not big in size, but compared to a human, it was big enough.

It coiled around An Zhi's body, moving slowly, and finally bit An Zhi's shoulder. Soon, blood quickly spread from there, dyeing the white secretions red, and then transported to the eggs wrapped inside.

An Zhi was relaying his known intelligence to Ni Hengmu, "...It's highly intelligent, seemingly able to hack into power lines, intercept signals, and even control fighter jets. It's carrying a large number of insect eggs away. Any living creatures on the fighter jets will become food for these overlord insects. Please destroy it if necessary."

After saying this, An Zhi paused for a moment, then asked softly.

"What's going on outside?"

Is everything okay inside the battleship?

How are the people who went out to explore for mineral veins?

Will more innocent people die because of this accident?

An Zhi paused for the last sentence because of the blood flowing out of his mouth.

Ni Hengmu paused and told a rare lie.

"I just received the news that everything is going well. Your Majesty is here, so please rest assured."

"Please wait a moment, help will be here soon."

The fighter jet has officially taken off from the base and entered orbit, along with the other seven fighter jets following closely behind.

Time is precious. After stabilizing on the orbit, they will force An Zhi's fighter plane to stop within a dozen seconds.

Several fighter jets took off and entered orbit.

The fighter plane that An Zhi was in was not fast. It was just drifting aimlessly according to the automatic driving mode and was soon surrounded.

"Everything is going well at the moment."

But then, the monitor cursed, turned around, and the atmosphere in the entire command room became tense.

The fighter jet activated the self-destruct program.

Before I could even catch my breath, the words [Logging in...] appeared on the screen.

Everyone's heart was in turmoil. What was going on?

The screen turned black in an instant, indicating that the previous owner's mental power had been expelled. The next second, a dark red badge mark emerged from the center of the screen.

Welcome, Your Majesty.

Cheers suddenly rang out in the command room.

Aiden Esseran took back control of the battleship's operating system as soon as the forced coordination ended.

With the blessing of SSS-level mental power, his control over the battleship is much stronger than anyone present.

The system security firewall was forcibly dismantled, and Aiden's mental power invaded the fighter plane, pulling out the anchor points that the King Insect had painstakingly established one after another.

The self-destruct program was completely erased both physically and digitally.

Then he controlled the fighter plane to make an emergency landing.

The small fighter plane slowly and leisurely came down like a reluctant bamboo dragonfly.

There was already a large group of people waiting on the ground.

Soldiers and medical teams rushed over and pulled An Zhi out of the pile of white secretions.

An Zhi was still a little confused, his brain was dizzy, and the faint resonance continued.

She was helped to sit up, and the scene she had just seen kept flashing back in her mind.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent and split into two.

An Zhi raised his head as if he sensed something.

Aiden Etherland strode from the center.

Military cloaks fluttered.

She shrank back like a frightened downy swan.

But Aiden had already quickly walked to her side, grabbed An Zhi's wrist, and the adult Eslan's mental power covered all of her mental power, preventing them from spreading endlessly.

An Zhi was almost out of strength and leaned softly into Aiden's arms.

Aiden froze for a moment, and tried to move as gently as possible. He slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground, gently holding An Zhi in his arms.

Aiden gently touched the back of Anzhi's neck to comfort him.

The pain gradually disappeared. For the cub, it was undoubtedly a very relaxing thing to be able to transfer his mental energy to his parents for grooming.

An Zhi had originally held Aiden's collar tightly, but now his strength was much weaker and his hands slowly loosened as if they were weakened.

But Aiden didn't let go. He held An Zhi's wrist and pulled her closer to his arms.

An Zhi saw that the dark cloth on Aiden's shoulders was wet - it must be her blood.

However, a clear drop of wetness could be felt on An Zhi's own shoulder.

"It's all over."

Aiden said in a deep voice, his voice trembling a little, and it was unclear whether he was making a promise to An Zhi or to someone else.

He repeated it again, this time with a clearer tone.

Yesterday’s bloodstains will eventually be washed away, but life never ends.

The stars are shining tonight.
