Chapter 71 Total Collapse (3.5k nutrient solution plus update)
Star Shattering Area.
Messy meteorites are floating all over the ground, and storms that do not conform to the laws of physics are ignited and extinguished. There is no direct light here, and shadows are everywhere.
Strange sounds echo here, as if countless creatures are whispering here, but they are not clear.
Lei Jing is driving the battleship, preparing to find a place to land.
In the seat behind him, Chu Tianhe is analyzing the collected data with Qin Ke, Yuan Bo and others.
"The energy fluctuations here are very strong, but there are no Zerg signals." Qin Ke frowned, "General Chu, could there be something wrong with the previous image?"
The light in this place is dim, the gravel is in strange shapes, and there are occasional blurred images. It is not impossible to be mistaken for Zerg.
But Chu Tianhe felt uneasy for some reason. He looked at the screen, and there was no problem with the data, nor did he capture any signals about Zerg. Could it be that he was really wrong?
He looked up and looked out of the porthole, and a strange scene came into view.
There were strange rocks everywhere, and thick shadows shrouded this area. It was not suitable for any creature to survive here.
If the Zerg really appeared here, why?
Bypass the ether war zone?
While he was thinking, Yuan Bo stood up, "General Chu, what do you say? No matter how you look at it, there doesn't seem to be any signs of Zerg appearing here."
Their warships use the most advanced Zerg detection technology developed by the West District. If there are Zerg, it is impossible not to detect it.
At this moment, Aihua suddenly raised her head and looked out the porthole.
It stood up vigilantly and gave a low growl to warn: "Zergs are approaching!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then alerted, and then looked at the detection screen, but what surprised them was that the screen showed that there was no signal of Zerg within ten kilometers!
Could it be that Aihua was wrong?
General Chu seemed to have caught a flash of thought. He looked at Aihua and asked, "Aihua, how did you know that?"
Aihua looked at everyone in confusion, "Of course I felt the aura."
It has been working with General Chu for so long, and it has a certain understanding of human technology. These technologies are indeed very powerful in some aspects. Logically, this situation should not happen.
General Chu suddenly thought of something, and his face was grim. "Not good!"
He immediately operated the battleship communication system to try, but found that no signal could be transmitted.
The worst guess came true.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Zerg here are not ordinary Zerg, but newly born Zerg species, whose ability is likely to disrupt signals!"
So their detection technology can't detect the existence of Zerg at all!
But it's different for Aihua, its breath perception ability can't be disturbed by Zerg!
"What?!" Qin Ke and Yuan Bo both looked ugly, "Disrupting signals? How can such a heaven-defying Zerg exist?"
In modern combat, if the signal is disrupted, then the mechanical pets cannot be used at all, not to mention the exchange of intelligence information!
How could the Zerg suddenly give birth to such a powerful species?
And they quickly thought of the worst possible scenario, "Wait, if the ability of the new Zerg is to disrupt signals..."
"Then the ability to silence, intercept, and modify signals is also possible!"
This is like inserting a virus into an optical computer, the information exchange between each other will be interfered with, or even tampered with!
Chu Tianhe certainly thought of this, and his expression was extremely ugly, "Maybe the Zerg has already invaded in secret, and we know nothing about it!"
He quickly said calmly, "Lei Jing, you start the return trip immediately to report the news! At the same time, release the Pioneer aircraft, Aihua and I will stop the Zerg together to buy time for you to return!" "Received
!"
Lei Jing manipulated the control panel after hearing this, and soon a Pioneer aircraft was transported out.
General Chu and Aihua immediately boarded the Vanguard, and he issued the last order:
"Don't look back, leave the Shattered Star Zone at full speed!"
"Send the information to the Ether War Zone immediately and let them be prepared!" "
The Zerg may have sneaked into the Scott Galaxy, and a comprehensive search must be carried out immediately!"
"When necessary, Lei Jing, I give you full authority to command the East District Branch. If necessary, go and find the owner Su for help!" After
he finished speaking, the Vanguard started immediately, followed by a burst of roars and flames, and flew straight to the depths of the Shattered Star Zone.
Lei Jing knew that General Chu did this to attract the attention of the Zerg and to prevent more new Zerg from entering.
"General Chu, hold on! I will definitely come back to save you!"
He suppressed his worries, immediately activated the battleship to turn around quickly, and turned on the full stealth mode. The speed of the battleship was pulled to the extreme, and soon disappeared from the sight of the Zerg. Rushing
out of the Shattered Star Zone, the communication system returned to normal, and Lei Jing immediately sent an emergency signal for help to the Ether War Zone.
"Ether War Zone, this is Lei Jing from the Eastern Division. A new Zerg species has been discovered in the Shattered Star Zone. The ability is to jam signals. It may have invaded the Scott Galaxy. Please conduct a comprehensive search immediately!"
The signal was played three times, but there was no response.
Maybe it was interfered with, or maybe it was intercepted.
The three people's hearts sank immediately. It's over. The new Zerg has indeed invaded!
Lei Jing calmed down immediately, "Don't panic, not receiving a response does not mean that something has gone wrong. The birth of new Zergs takes time, and the number of Zergs that can disrupt signals must be small."
"Otherwise, it could have cut off all our communications instead of just 'not responding'."
"This shows that they themselves are also restricted. Now, act separately!"
"Qin Ke, you are responsible for returning to the Ether War Zone and making an emergency report. Yuan Bo and I will go to find the owner Su immediately. If things really reach a point where they are irreversible, then only the real pets of the pet family will not be affected!"
They must ask the owner Su for help as soon as possible.
"Okay! Then you pay attention and be careful!" Qin Ke immediately drove the second Vanguard away.
Now they were not far from the ether war zone. If Qin Ke was fast enough, he could reach it in half an hour.
Lei Jing and Yuan Bo did not hesitate any longer and immediately took off and flew to the planet where the owner Su was.
"What do you think the Zerg are planning?" Yuan Bo had never felt that things were so difficult. Once the communication was cut off, it seemed as if everyone had become an isolated island. This feeling of being unable to communicate made everything out of control.
If the Zerg launched a massive attack at this time, then their mechanical pets would not be able to exert their abilities at all, which would be an unpredictable disaster!
Lei Jing was silent for a while, and he said: "The purpose of the Zerg has been very clear from the beginning to the end: devour."
"Although the Ether War Zone is the first battlefield between us and the Zerg, this has never been the Zerg's goal. Their goal is the vast and fertile planets behind the war zone."
He simply didn't dare to think deeply now. With this kind of signal interference Zerg, they can easily bypass the Ether War Zone and directly enter the Scott Galaxy!
So now, what is the situation of the planet behind them?
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
...
Pet home.
Su Wudeng is accompanying the Osside-9000 mechanical pet to deliver food to the wolfhounds. Now she has to take an hour every day to take care of the Czech wolfhounds.
As soon as she arrived at the delivery point, she raised her head and howled like a wolf:
"Ah~"
"It's time to eat~"
Soon, the wolfhounds began to howl from all directions, and then ran towards the food anxiously.
When Heiyao arrived, the wolfhounds started to eat.
Su Wudeng watched the wolfhounds eat happily one by one, and couldn't help but touch the heads of the pups, "So cute~"
In the past, she could only see this from the surveillance, but now she can see it with her own eyes, and the feeling is really quite different.
"Eat more~ You're fat~ Or you're still too thin!"
After the main meal, she took out the wolfhounds' favorite snacks. Heiyao smelled the smell and came up to her, circling around Su Wudeng's legs.
Amber eyes looked at Su Wudeng expectantly. Su Wudeng couldn't stand such a look and quickly gave Heiyao a whole bag of snacks.
"Awoo~"
"Thank you, Sister Su!"
Oh, Su Wudeng covered her heart, why was her Heiyao so polite!
So she watched Heiyao holding the snacks and running to Amber, then lowered his head and arched his head, motioning Amber to eat.
Amber had just finished her portion when she found another one, which made her very happy.
She rubbed and licked Heiyao, and whined and acted coquettishly.
Su Wudeng: "...I ate a mouthful of dog food for no reason?"
But the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed. Amber, this silly dog, is quite good at choosing her targets.
This marriage...
Just then, Su Wudeng's communicator rang.
She picked up the call and found that it was Fei Yuanlin. She wondered what was going on. Yuanlin should be on an escort mission right now? Why would someone suddenly call her?
"Yuan Lin, what's wrong?"
Yuan Lin's serious expression appeared on the other end of the communication, "Shopkeeper Su, there is an emergency! Our battleship was attacked by Zerg just now!"
"What?!" Su Wudeng stood up immediately, "Where are you now? What's the situation?"
"Why are there Zerg suddenly, how did they cross the etheric front?"
The etheric front is like an extremely solid high wall, blocking the Zerg outside the wall and unable to enter, but now Zerg have appeared in the Scott Galaxy?
Su Wudeng's heart sank, no way? Could it be that the Ether Front...
Fei Yuanlin's voice was heard: "Don't worry, we are fine for now, but we are returning home now. I think this matter is not simple. We were attacked when we were close to Athens. I suspect that Athens has become the target of the Zerg, so we chose to return to Pet Home first."
Fei Yuanlin's judgment was correct. If it were Su Wudeng, she would choose to do the same. Apart from anything else, their Pet Home is now at a first-class safety level. Before figuring out the situation, choosing to return home is the right choice.
Su Wudeng immediately said, "Okay, return at full speed, I'll pick you up right away!"
Hearing this, Fei Yuanlin breathed a sigh of relief, and then she continued, "The owner is really wrong this time. Before the Zerg appeared, we didn't detect any traces of Zerg on the battleship. You know, ours is a battleship, and the monitoring system is the most advanced. How could this happen?"
"If the golden eagles hadn't detected the Zerg's presence in time, we would have been caught off guard!"
Su Wudeng's heart sank when he heard this, "Do you suspect that the Zerg has a new species that can interfere with signals?"
Fei Yuanlin nodded, "Yes, and... I think the Zerg's actions this time were most likely premeditated. Their target was obviously Athens, so we were attacked only because we got close. Maybe... their actions may have already started before us."
In other words, the Zerg were not targeting their route, but Athens!
Su Wudeng instantly felt that the situation was getting tricky. "So many Zergs besieged Athens. They won't... swallow them all, right?"
If they really let them swallow them, the entire galaxy would be finished. How many new Zergs would be born to swallow so much energy? No one would be able to escape then!
"What about the Ether Front? No reaction?"
If Fei Yuanlin hadn't escorted this route, they probably wouldn't have known that the Zerg had invaded the Scott Galaxy and even besieged Athens.
How come the Ether Front didn't react to such a big thing?
No, not just the Ether Front. She immediately opened the Star Network and found that there was no news from the entire Scott Galaxy.
But after a closer look, the address IP displayed on the Star Network clearly didn't include Athens.
"No, not just Athens... all the first-level planets: Athens, Fanhua, and Hanging Sun, there is no news!"
Fei Yuanlin immediately understood what Su Wudeng meant, and her voice trembled a little: "Shopkeeper, are you saying... that all the first-level planets are now besieged by the Zerg?"
She couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and her scalp went numb. "Oh my god, does that mean the Scott Galaxy has become a wormhole?"
This change happened too fast and too suddenly!
Su Wudeng had already boarded the starship, followed by Amber and Heiyao, while Yingying stayed at home just in case.
While comforting Fei Yuanlin, she checked the news: "Don't panic, the target of the Zerg is obviously the first-level planet, which means that the number of this new Zerg is not large, otherwise the Zerg's greed would never let go of so many planets."
"That means we are safe for the time being, don't worry, I'll be there soon!"
Fortunately, their planet is remote, so the communication is not blocked, but this also shows that the number and ability of those Zerg are limited.
Su Wudeng flew quickly according to the address given by Fei Yuanlin. According to the speed of the two battleships, it is estimated that they will meet in less than ten minutes.
But while browsing the news on the star network, the news of Chongaijia suddenly appeared.
[Too scary, I just returned to Athens on Chongaijia's battleship, and I encountered Zerg! ]
[Ahhh! Why do we have to turn back? I want to go back to Athens, it's the safest place there! 】
【Help! Someone come and save me! I want to go back to Athens! 】
【What? Zerg appeared? ! Holy shit! Zerg appeared on the route to Athens! This is terrible! 】
【Is there anyone from Athens who can come out and say something? This is so scary...】
【Even scarier, there's not a single person from Athens! 】
【Wait, not only is Athens gone, but even Fanhua Star and Hanging Sun Star are gone! 】
【What's going on? ! Oh my God! The Scott Galaxy is not going to end! 】
【Analyze rationally, why do I feel like someone is setting the pace? Those who are releasing the news now are all on the Beloved Starship, what about the people on other routes? 】
【Yes, there are at least hundreds of starships heading to the Athens star route every day. How come only the people from the Chong Ai Family - Athens star route sent out news? 】
【...Is there a possibility, I only say one possibility...that there are no survivors on other routes? 】
【Fuck it! If this is the case, it's over! It's terrifying to think about it carefully! 】
【Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Ether Front has not released any news. How could they let the Zerg invade when they are so powerful? 】
【Why is it Chong Ai Family again? Is it the Chong Ai Family who is hyping this up? What's so hype about this? ? Exaggerate the atmosphere of terror to show that your route is safer? 】
【Stop arguing! Everyone, stop arguing! The focus is on the three major first-class stars, and now no one has spoken! Isn't it clear what this means! ? 】
As soon as this message came out, everyone felt their scalps go numb. That was a first-class star, and it just lost all contact!
Everyone panicked immediately. What on earth is going on? !
Does anyone know? Come and tell me!
Wait...
it seems that there is one, that is Chong Ai Jia!
Everyone realized that it seems that Chong Ai Jia's route is the only route that can still send messages when encountering Zerg!
So the next second, the comment area under Chong Ai Jia's official account was flooded with comments.
Su Wudeng hesitated for a moment, and decided to inform everyone who could receive the message.
If the message she guessed was wrong, then it is very likely that she will be blamed or even sued afterwards.
But if she didn't say it, and the Ether Front remained silent, no one would know what had happened, and there would be no way to prevent it. Behind this were the lives of countless people and a disaster that swept across the Scott Galaxy!
So she opened the Star Network and carefully posted a message under the official account:
"Hello everyone, I'm Su Wudeng, the owner of Chongai Home. I have some unfortunate news to tell you. On the route between Chongai Home and Athens, our battleship was unexpectedly attacked by Zerg, but fortunately we managed to escape. So far there are no casualties and the starship is on its way back."
"However, we discovered something wrong during the attack. Before the attack, we... did not detect... any Zerg signals... This means... the new Zerg... may be able to disrupt the signals..."
Su Wudeng listed her speculations and proofs in detail one by one. There was evidence behind each guess, but there was also room for improvement.
"... Above, I just put forward a possibility. I hope everyone can prepare as much as possible in advance and wait for official news."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately swept the entire Scott Galaxy.
But soon someone discovered that -
[Wait... My God, did you see that the online prompt of Chongaijia disappeared the moment the message was sent? ]
[What? ! Damn, could it be that Chongaijia was also targeted? ! ]
[Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper Su, if you are still here, please say something! ]
[Ahhh! So what Shopkeeper Su said is very likely to be true, and all the speculations are true! And then they were targeted by the Zerg? ! ]
[No, Shopkeeper Su, please speak quickly! ]
Su Wudeng couldn't speak. When she just sent that message, all the signals had disappeared.
She looked ugly. What happened? Could it be that their Chongaijia was also targeted?
A first-level planet is rich in resources and has great energy. It is understandable that the Zerg would target it, but what is there for them to target a fourth-level planet in their pet home?
Fortunately, they were able to see Fei Yuanlin's warship at this time, and no longer needed signal communication. The golden eagle could also sense their presence.
After a successful meeting, the two warships quickly flew back to the pet home. There were still many tourists on the starship where Fei Yuanlin was, and the top priority was to ensure their safety. After
returning to the planet, Su Wudeng immediately called all the personnel to a meeting!
She projected all the information she had collected onto the screen:
"The current situation is very clear. The Zerg have invaded the Scott Galaxy, and their target is the first-level planet."
"But the bad news is that Fei Yuanlin and I just discovered that Chongaijia has also been targeted. Our signal has been interfered with, and now we can't contact the outside world."
"This means that we are now isolated and have no external help."
Everyone fell silent in an instant.
What they are facing now is a life-and-death crisis. It happened so suddenly that they are not ready yet.
Su Wudeng sighed, "I can assure you that there will be no Zerg inside our planet."
This is the confidence given to her by the system.
"But the problem is that we are now facing a crisis for the entire Scott Galaxy. We need to trade and cooperate with the outside world to obtain living resources..."
But if the Scott Galaxy is gone, they will really become a lonely boat in the sea of stars.
Chu Feng looked at Su Wudeng and said in a deep voice: "Planet Lord, I have a message to add. Before the signal was cut off, I had contacted General Chu with a private signal, but there was no response."
"I suspect that the Ether War Zone has been isolated by the Zerg and turned into an isolated island."
No one would doubt the strength of the Ether War Zone. Even without information exchange, their various weapons can repel the Zerg.
But the question is, what if the eyes and ears of the Ether War Zone are covered?
Let the Ether War Zone have no idea what happened, then the Scott Galaxy behind it will become a lamb to be slaughtered.
When this news came out, everyone was even more silent.
Now it seems that there are only two ways out: either shrink inside the planet and hold on until all supplies are exhausted, or seek external assistance. They must contact the ether war zone.
At this time, Su Wudeng's expression suddenly changed. The system showed that a large number of Zergs were attacking!
The Zergs really targeted them!
Su Wudeng silently chanted "expel all" in his heart, then raised his head and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Even worse news has come. In addition to the first-level planets, we have also been targeted by the Zerg."
"Now, we must resist with all our strength!"
Everyone became anxious, "What?!" "
How could they target us? Did they come here with the starship?"
This is the most likely guess. After all, their planet has no resources and no energy. Why would the Zerg target them?
But their starship is the only starship that successfully escaped from the route. Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that they were targeted by the Zerg.
Su Wudeng immediately arranged: "The Raptor team should prepare for battle. Chu Feng and Lin Yue should immediately mobilize a group of personnel who can manually drive the battleship."
"Shu Can, Uncle Lan, Chu Yansen, Xi Yao, Hui Hui and Ke Ke, you are responsible for patrolling and protecting the safety of the planet."
"Mu Jin, Elder Xia, you and Ying Ying should pay attention to protecting the pet cubs and don't let the Zerg take advantage of the opportunity."
"I will lead the Raptor team and the Czech Wolfhound team to deal with the Zerg."
"Action now!"
The situation was urgent and there was no time to delay.
Everyone took action immediately, and the battleship was soon in place. Su Wudeng led the Raptor team and the Czech Wolfhound team to set off quickly.
The Zerg were driven out of the planet by her, and they were densely covered. It was terrifying to look at them.
This time, it was not just a few Zerg, but a large-scale Zerg attack!
Fighting alone on such a battlefield would only exhaust one's physical strength. Therefore, the Raptors and the Czech Wolfhounds, pets with the best teamwork, were undoubtedly the most suitable choices.
...
The people on the planet had already read the information that was widely circulated on the Star Network. When the communication was cut off, they immediately realized that their situation was not good.
But they could do nothing and could only wait anxiously at home.
Countless similar conversations were played out in every family:
"Mom and Dad, will we die this time? Are the Zerg really attacking?"
"Don't talk nonsense! The store owner Su is so powerful, she won't die! She will definitely kill all the Zerg!"
"But why doesn't the news on the star network refresh?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
At this moment, a pre-recorded voice came from the radio -
"Dear citizens and tourists of Planet XJ-738, our planet is now facing an attack by Zerg, but please don't panic, we have already made countermeasures, and the Zerg will not enter the planet."
"At present, our battleships have set off and will fight the Zerg outside the planet. Citizens and tourists, please do not go out and stay at home."
"Since the battlefront is close to the planet, if there are Zerg corpses falling, please do not panic and call the emergency number 010 - 110 - 110. We will have someone to deal with it."
"..."
The emergency broadcast sounded again and again, and the female voice inside was gentle and firm.
Many people recognized this voice. It was the owner Su! It was their planet owner!
At this moment, their planet owner did not abandon them and run away, but stood in front of them without hesitation and fought against the Zerg!
They felt much more at ease.
"Shop owner Su said so, we will be fine!"
"Please bless shop owner Su to return safely!"
Then, the people on the planet saw shocking scenes.
The originally clear sky suddenly took on a red tint, and then a series of flames illuminated the entire planet. It was their planet master and pets fighting the Zerg!
No, everyone soon realized that it was not red, but blood!
The blood of countless Zergs dyed the sky of the planet red, and the sky turned into a dazzling red, but no Zerg could break through the defense line.
...
The wolfhounds and raptors have been dispatched, and the pets of the commander level are simply unable to resist the Zerg.
Just as Aihua can crush the Zerg with her bare hands, the wolfhounds and raptors can do the same.
The Czech wolfhounds quickly formed a circle, and then surrounded the Zerg before they could react, and then shrank and bit!
The raptors rushed towards the Zerg in groups, tearing the Zerg's body apart with their sharp claws and beaks.
Before the other Zerg could react, they flew up again, and a new round of attacks came!
The entire periphery of the planet was covered with Zerg's shattered corpses, and blood spurted down like rain.
Fortunately, the system's expulsion was really powerful. Even if it turned into a corpse, it did not fall to the ground of the planet.
But Su Wudeng's expression was still serious. She watched the Zergs being killed one by one, but she never saw any special new Zergs.
"That's not right. Those new Zergs are obviously able to disrupt the signal. Why are they not now? Where are they hiding?"
At this time, Amber seemed to have discovered something. It stared at a certain place and lowered its body. Then the sword behind it was quickly unsheathed - stab!
Immediately afterwards, a miserable scream rang out, and a yellow Zerg was pierced through the head by Amber's sword.
It was very small, not even as big as one of Amber's claws. If Amber hadn't discovered it quickly, I'm afraid this Zerg would have taken the opportunity to escape!
Su Wudeng's eyes lit up immediately, "Good job, Amber! Control it!"
This is different from other Zergs, it is very likely a newly born insect.
Sure enough, after this Zerg was hit, the signal of the starship quickly returned to normal.
Then a series of red warnings popped up crazily-
"Warning! Zergs have been detected nearby!"
"Serious warning! The number of Zergs is huge!"
It seemed that the Zerg signal had just been detected. The huge amount of detection information made the system a little stuck for a while, and then popped up crazily.
Su Wudeng turned off the sound directly, it was too noisy.
"So, it's this guy!"
But the question arises again. Catching just one of them can restore the signal of the planet?
So, the number of these new Zergs is not that large?
In other words, if these new Zergs can be caught, the crisis may be resolved soon.
Half an hour later, all the Zergs were destroyed.
Su Wudeng came in front of the new Zerg, and Amber's sword was nailed to its head. Its body was twisting constantly, but it couldn't break free.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take a picture first!"
Of course, taking pictures is not for posting on WeChat Moments, but to record the appearance of this new Zerg, and then distribute it as much as possible to let more people know about the new Zerg.
Without the information interference of this new insect, the photos taken by Su Wudeng were quickly uploaded to the Star Network.
[Chong Ai Jia: Thank you for your attention. The planet was indeed attacked by the insects before, but fortunately we successfully repelled the insects and confirmed the new species of the insects: Huang Ke insect.jpg. The name is because the insect is small in size, yellow in color, and can seriously interfere with the signal. One can block the communication of the entire planet. But the weakness is that the attack power is extremely weak and the speed is average. As long as it hits, the signal can be restored. The following is the detailed information of the insect and the capture suggestion...]
As soon as this news came out, it instantly caused a huge sensation among the surviving netizens.
[Fuck! Is Chong Ai Jia the only planet that was targeted by the new Zerg and quickly fought back? ! 】
【My scalp is tingling! How strong is Chong Ai Jia? ! There is no news from all the first-level stars, and the ether war zone is as dead, but Chong Ai Jia has already spread the information about the new Zerg? ! 】
