"We will protect you outside, fight the Zerg to the last moment, and vow to live and die with the starship."
After saying that, the flight attendant left with a resolute expression, completely closing the door to the safe house. The safe house can now only be opened from the inside; they had left themselves no way out.
Everyone present was deeply moved.
The safe house was shaking more and more frequently and with greater amplitude, indicating that the situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly dire.
Immediately, someone objected, "Damn it! You want me to be a coward? You wish! I'm going to fight those Zerg. Killing one will break even, killing two will be a profit."
"Yes, I won't be a coward. How can I, a dignified man, hide behind others and live a life of cowardice? I'll fight!"
"Let's fight the Zerg!"
"..."
Those present were all courageous men, and in this life-or-death situation, none of them would stoop to cowardice. Many of them tacitly opened the door to the safe house, saying, "Friends, we're leaving. Please close the safe house door..."
The speaker paused, and everyone turned around to see that not a single person had stayed behind. Even the injured stood firmly outside the door. "Good! They are all good men of our interstellar world."
Just as everyone was about to head towards the command center, Lu Manman called them to a stop.
"Please wait, everyone. I have some grapes here, which I'd like to give to you as a way of cheering you on."
As Lu Manman spoke, she took out several bunches of grapes. After everyone thanked her, they tacitly took only one grape and passed it around, leaving quite a few behind.
Seeing this, Lu Manman quickly shouted, "Eat as much as you want, there's plenty!"
The road ahead is long, but Jin Pei and his men are tough guys.
She knew that none of them were going to survive this time. She realized that the Zerg were just toying with them and had complete control of the battlefield. Although she didn't know their purpose, she knew that the people on the starship were not going to survive.
Everyone ate two or three pills afterward. After a brief period of pain, they felt unprecedentedly comfortable, and the feeling was amazing.
At this time, many Zerg broke through the encirclement and entered the starship, where they wantonly slaughtered and fed on humans.
The group immediately pulled out laser guns and other weapons to shoot down the Zerg. Those without weapons grabbed whatever they could find and used it to finish off the wounded Zerg.
They killed quite a few Zerg, and morale soared.
Suddenly, the lights in the distance caught everyone's attention.
"The army, the army is here!"
Everyone saw a glimmer of hope again; if they just persevered a little longer, things would get better.
They were even more determined to fight the Zerg, desperately resisting. But the Zerg, seeing the army arrive, not only did not slow their attack, but became even more ferocious, determined to devour these people before the army arrived.
Soon, the starship could no longer hold out, with mech warriors falling one after another, and the speed at which the starship was destroyed leaving the repair team helpless.
The army dispatched many mechs ahead, but the Zerg surrounded the starships like an iron barrel. Even with the army's intervention, it was still too late.
The captain was diligently directing everyone until the moment he died, and at that moment he finally understood that the reason why the Zerg had made them struggle for so long was to lure out the army, but he would never have the chance to contact the army again.
The defeat was swift and devastating. The valiant mech warriors and starship crew all fell, and the starship nearly disintegrated. The long-empty safe house was forced to be exposed in space, but it was quickly riddled with holes and left in ruins by the Zerg's rampage.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the people still deep inside the starship continued to fight back against the Zerg, determined to take them down with them even in death.
Zhao Jianguo, who had been fighting alongside Lu Manman, witnessed her extraordinary methods and realized that she was no ordinary person.
While fighting off the Zerg, he said to Lu Manman, "Yunku, you are a capable person. If you can get out of here alive, could you help me find my biological father and ask him why he abandoned me back then?"
Zhao Jianguo paused for a moment, then said, "Forget it, it's too much trouble. Let's leave it at that. Yun Ku, you live well and see the outside world for me." He was still afraid of troubling others.
Lu Manman was seriously using her water-based abilities to fight the insectoids, and at this moment she frowned slightly, "You'll have to see for yourself."
Zhao Jianguo brandished the machete his father had made for him, severing an insect's leg, then staggered, "I can't go on, I'm already..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Jianguo coughed up a mouthful of blood. Lu Manman glanced at him and noticed that a piece of his stomach had been ripped out.
The human tissue was being chewed in the mouth of a nearby Zergling.
Lu Manman was shocked and hurriedly tried to get there, but the place was still some distance from Zhao Jianguo, and the insectoids' obstruction prevented Lu Manman from getting close for the time being.
"Zhao Jianguo, your father has planned so much for you, you can't just die like this."
Zhao Jianguo, still struggling to stay upright, wielded his long sword, slaying the insectoids while muttering, "It's too late. I was really happy to meet you. You didn't look down on me, and you even gave me those magical grapes. I never knew grapes were so delicious, and I never knew mental energy could be so calm and comfortable. But..."
The boy paused, then tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. "But it's such a pity. I'm about to die. I've tried so hard, lived so humbly, and this is the first time I've mustered the courage to travel so far, and I'm already facing this. It's ridiculous that I went through so much trouble to sneak here. Hahaha! It's ridiculous. Maybe I really am only destined to stay on this garbage planet for the rest of my life. Maybe I shouldn't have come out to find my biological father. Maybe..."
Zhao Jianguo's voice stopped abruptly. Lu Manman turned around and saw that Zhao Jianguo's head had been bitten off by a large blue worm.
"No!" Lu Manman finally reached Zhao Jianguo and caught his broken body.
The shy, insecure boy she had just met died right before her eyes; she was so close to saving him. At that moment, Lu Manman felt as if she had returned to a cannibalistic apocalypse, where so many innocent and vibrant lives had ended abruptly with regret.
Lu Manman looked at the boy in front of her. There were irregular teeth marks on his neck, and in the middle was a familiar little thing. Lu Manman had seen it before. It was an identification chip!
Remembering Zhao Jianguo's words, Lu Manman put the chip and Zhao Jianguo's optical computer into her spatial storage.
Before he could grieve or ponder, Lu Manman continued to use his subtle water-based abilities to fight the Zerg.
People fell one after another around them. The once relatively safe depths of the starship were now being torn to shreds by the Zerg's claws. More and more Zerg surrounded them, and many were torn apart and eaten by the Zerg. The few remaining people were inevitably exposed to space.
Soon, he lost his life.
And so, the lives of these men ended here forever.
Lu Manman was filled with mixed feelings but felt powerless. All she could do was use her superpower to wrap herself up layer by layer.
Faced with swarms of enormous insects, Lu Manman, with her petite frame, dodged left and right, but the intense movement quickly depleted the already limited oxygen within the area surrounded by her superpowers.
Soon, Lu Manman's breathing became rapid, she felt dizzy and had tinnitus, and her heart was racing.
