Gao Lixue's face was grim. He looked at the teachers and said, "Quickly activate the backup warship mode."
The teachers looked at each other in bewilderment. "If this is activated, the warship will be scrapped after this."
"This is a military order, go quickly."
He knew all too well that once this mode was activated, the warship's life would begin its countdown, but he couldn't care less now; he would take full responsibility.
The teachers, without suspecting anything, quickly walked towards the command center.
Gao Lixue turned to Xu Lingyuan and the others, "Go and notify the other warship to activate the backup warship mode immediately."
"yes!"
Just as they were about to leave, Gao Lixue suddenly said, "Zhao Jianguo, stay!"
Lu Manman paused, obediently staying behind, watching their departing figures, feeling somewhat worried.
That feeling of unease persisted, and the sense of being watched never subsided, so what exactly happened?
"Hurry up and follow me," Gao Lixue said as he strode toward the command center, calling out to Lu Manman as he walked along.
Lu Manman followed them inside. The moment she entered, the screen lit up again, showing live video feeds from all over the cabin.
This means the warship has entered standby mode.
Seeing the live video again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when they turned on their personal computers, they found that there was still no signal.
My heart, which had just settled down, was on edge again.
Gao Lixue: "Cockpit, listen up! Start immediately and leave at full speed for the nearest space jump point."
"Everyone in the research department, do everything possible to send out a distress signal."
"The mech pilots should immediately get up and guard the various fortresses of the warship, and make sure that the warship can leave this place safely."
"Everyone else is on high alert, ready to fight at any time."
"yes!"
The pilot immediately started the warship, only to find that the engine was constantly in alarm mode and could not be started no matter what he did.
"Sir, the engine is malfunctioning and won't start."
Gao Lixue: "Mecha pilot department teachers, hurry up."
As they were talking, another warship activated its backup mode and successfully connected with this ship, but it also couldn't start.
The teachers from the mecha pilot department began to run for their lives, moving swiftly, but when they saw the scene before them, they were all dumbfounded.
"Sir, the engine is missing, and... the backup engine is also disappearing at a visible rate."
The camera panned to the engine, and a bizarre scene shocked everyone: not only the engine, but also the bottom of the warship had been ripped open with an irregular hole.
Hiss~
Everyone gasped.
At this moment, the warship was like a huge iron cage. Although it protected everyone inside, it could no longer bring them any sense of security. Gao Lixue felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Inside the command center, a professor from the research department speculated, "Could it be the Zerg Queen!"
In his mind, only the Zerg Queen could devour mechs and warships.
Gao Lixue nodded slightly; he had to leave immediately.
"All mech warriors, summon your mechs and follow the mech instructors. Take those without mechs away from this planet and head to the nearest Fourth Legion base as quickly as possible, immediately!"
In an instant, all the warship doors opened, and the mechs leaped out, flying straight into the sky.
Lu Manman was kept close by Gao Lixue, and there were also many 3S mecha warriors around her.
Although they had many questions in their minds, everyone tacitly remained silent, knowing that the primary task now was to escape.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, a massive Zerg force blocked their path. The Zerg lineup was formidable, with level 5 Zerg Kings everywhere, not to mention other Zerg Kings. In front of them, there were also a considerable number of Zerg Queens lined up, numbering in the hundreds at a glance.
Even seasoned veterans had never seen such a spectacle, let alone these students; many of them began to feel apprehensive.
Seeing this scene before him, Gao Lixue became even more certain of his suspicions: the Zerg were trying to use these prodigies as fertilizer for the Zerg Queen's offspring.
This situation is likely to result in the annihilation of everyone. The thought of all the teachers and students of this year perishing here filled Gao Lixue with grief and indignation. Absolutely not! He must lead everyone to escape from here.
Gao Lixue piloted his mecha at the forefront, shouting, "The signal has been given, everyone charge forward!"
Gao Li learned to lie, and the effect was obvious.
Hearing this, everyone felt reassured and their previous panic subsided. They worked together seamlessly to fight the Zerg.
For a time, mechs and Zerg clashed, with experienced high-level Zerg fighting against inexperienced military academy freshmen.
Unlike their previous undefeated record, this time the military academy freshmen suffered repeated defeats and heavy losses.
One after another, mechs plummeted to the ground. The disparity in strength between the two sides was overwhelming, and the Zerg were putting pressure on the enemy.
Finally, they were forced back to the side of the warship. Upon seeing this, the Zerg stopped there and did not advance an inch, as if they were deliberately keeping them there.
The Zerg's deliberate actions made Gao Lixue and his team as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Many mechs had crashed earlier, but now the ground was empty, with no trace of them. They had obviously been swallowed up.
Now, mechs are constantly being devoured.
Finally, the inconspicuous little mound of earth turned into a large mound, attracting everyone's attention. It was not very clear before, but now the Zerg inside was visible to the naked eye.
In just a short while, they grew to the size of an arm and began devouring young lives everywhere.
Gao Lixue's eyes widened in astonishment; there were so many...
No wonder there are so many advanced Zerg.
Gao Lixue regained his voice and shouted, "Get away from that big mound! Those are the Zerg Queen's cubs!"
What? These are all Zerg Queens?! Who knows how terrifying they'll be when they grow up?
The sheer number of Zerg Queen pups was unprecedented; usually, Zerg Queen pups were few in number, but now they were so numerous that they were impossible to count.
Moreover, the Zerg Queen's pups grow at an incredibly rapid pace from birth, making it difficult for ordinary mech warriors to harm them.
Gao Lixue: "All faculty and students of the Pharmacy Department, listen up! Quickly use all the medicines that are harmful to the Zerg! Logistics Department, detonate the new energy nuclear weapon! All teacher mechs and 3S mech warriors, protect the safety of others! After the Pharmacy Department and Mech Warrior Department complete their missions, immediately attack the Zerg Queen's cubs! Other departments, do what you can, and contribute what you can. Make sure to nip them in the bud."
Gao Lixue then called out to the mecha teacher standing nearby, "Take your class and break out in the chaos later. Make sure the people outside know that there are an astonishing number of Zerg Queen larvae here, over a hundred thousand. Come and wipe them out quickly. Also, get Zhao Jianguo out safely."
This teacher is none other than Luo Gaofei, who strongly advocates for the new military training.
Luo Gaofei knew that in the current situation, their group that broke through was likely the only survivor. Thinking that it was all because of him that they fell into the insectoid trap, and now so many students might die here, Luo Gaofei did not want to leave no matter what.
"Sir, you should call someone else. I must stay here to protect my students."
