Lu Manman hurriedly retreated, then pressed the life-saving button that she hadn't even had time to warm up, and quickly stuck a piece of spare material on it to block the hole that had just appeared in the cockpit.
As soon as the energy shield was activated, the Zerg Queen's attack followed closely, but because of the energy shield, it failed to touch Lu Manman and the mech at all; the attack was blocked outside the energy shield.
Seeing that Lu Manman was alright, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the two felt a sharp pain in their heads, as if their mental energy had been attacked.
Taking advantage of their weakness, the Zerg Queens launched a fierce attack during this brief lull, and Qi Xiuyuan and Ye Xingfan were quickly subjected to a brutal storm.
Even with Lu Manman's desperate attempts to stop him, the outcome remained unchanged.
The damage to the mechs was getting worse, and blood was flowing uncontrollably from the corners of their mouths.
After recovering, Qi Xiuyuan, pale-faced, shouted, "We've been hit! It's a dark matter attack from the Zerg! Quickly take a mental energy stabilizer or some magical fruit to relieve the damage!"
I thought that since they had deployed so many queens this time, they wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics, but it turned out that what was bound to happen still happened.
Fortunately, both Qi Xiuyuan and Ye Xingfan had magical fruits on them, and their mental strength was restored after eating one.
Although his mental strength had recovered, the damage he had just suffered had caused some malfunctions in the mech, reducing its flexibility and giving the Zerg Queens the upper hand for a time.
Qi Xiuyuan frowned. This couldn't go on, and it was uncertain whether they would release dark matter again. If there was a next time, he would only have mental energy repair agents, which would be difficult to recover in a short time. At that time, the two of them alone would not be enough.
Realizing that they hadn't yet transformed into their true forms, Qi Xiuyuan's eyes sharpened; he knew he had to act quickly.
Qi Xiuyuan materialized his mental energy and used it to slash at the nearest Zerg Queen along with the mecha's long spear.
Splat!
The insect head fell to the ground, and the Zerg Queen quickly collapsed and died. This was a method that Qi Xiuyuan had figured out himself, but it could only be used a maximum of three times a day, and the side effects would be severe.
After using it all three times, he won't be able to use his mental power for at least three days, and he might even fall into a deep sleep from which he never wakes up.
But he couldn't care less about that now; he had to kill the Zerg Queen who was leading the group.
Ye Xingfan and Qi Xiuyuan are both preoccupied with their own problems, so Lu Manman has to save herself. The energy shield that was supposed to last for twenty minutes couldn't even last ten minutes under the fierce attacks of the Zerg Queens.
Bang! Bang! Two sounds.
Ye Xingfan and Lu Manman were kicked away again.
Ye Xingfan struggled several times but still couldn't get up. In the end, he even spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing the Zerg Queen getting closer and closer, Ye Xingfan fell into despair and could only roll as far away as possible.
Seeing the situation, Qi Xiuyuan, who was surrounded by five Zerg Queens, gritted his teeth and used his physical mental power to kill another Zerg Queen. Then, he wielded his spear, broke through the encirclement of the Zerg Queens, and quickly ran towards Lu Manman.
At this moment, Qi Xiuyuan's face was so pale it was almost transparent, and his body was swaying precariously.
But he couldn't fall. He had to use his last bit of tangible mental power to kill the Zerg Queen, the leader of Lu Manman, so that everyone could have a chance to survive.
Lu Manman's situation wasn't much better. With her wood-type ability running at full speed, she could barely stand up, but the opening in the cockpit had become even larger.
She fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. If she had to die, she would fight them to the death.
Just as they were about to unleash their ultimate attack with the seed, they found that the Zerg queens, who had been so arrogant just moments before, were frozen in place one by one.
Lu Manman paused, wondering what was going on and if there was a chance for things to turn around.
The Zerg queens were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Manman in unison.
Lu Manman was startled and took a few steps back.
It smells so good! I want to eat it! I want to eat it right now!
Greedily inhaling the sweet, bloody scent in the air, the Zerg queens' instincts took over. At this moment, they completely forgot their purpose and only wanted to eat that tempting thing.
Seeing the mechs in their way, the Zerg queens quickly stepped forward, intending to tear them to pieces.
Upon seeing this, Lu Manman turned and ran, dodging as she fired laser cannons at the Zerg Queen. The Zerg Queen, however, fearlessly stepped forward, determined to advance even as her body was blasted apart.
"Something's wrong with these Zerg queens!"
Ye Xingfan said, finally managing to stand up with difficulty, leaning on the longsword. "Jianguo, I'll give you the energy shield. Come and take it."
The black ring flew in a parabolic arc towards the long road.
Seeing all the queens chasing after her, Lu Manman didn't stand on ceremony and swiftly took Ye Xingfan's protective shield. Just before the Zerg Queen's claws were about to pierce through the mecha's body, she decisively pressed the button.
That was close!
Qi Xiuyuan, his face pale, chased after her. Looking at the Zerg Queen's expression, he felt a sense of familiarity.
He thrust a gun at the nearest Zerg Queen's head, but she didn't even acknowledge him.
Qi Xiuyuan frowned. The Zerg Queen was now even stronger, but she seemed to be out of her mind and couldn't even put up a fight. This was a good opportunity.
The Zerg Queens focused all their fighting power on Lu Manman, completely ignoring Qi Xiuyuan and Ye Xingfan.
Lu Manman, who had been relentlessly attacked by the mad Zerg Queens, couldn't help but think of her experience on the starship last time. The Zerg Queens clearly had a special affection for her, but why was it only now that they were showing it?
Could it be blood? Right, she bled a lot last time too.
Thinking about the long road ahead, he dodged while using his wood-based abilities to heal himself, then used his water-based abilities to clean up the bloodstains, and finally applied a large number of deodorizing patches.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the Zerg Queen was beginning to regain her senses, Lu Manman breathed a sigh of relief, and the crisis was temporarily averted.
However, before Lu Manman could catch her breath, she heard Qi Xiuyuan shout, "Zhao Jianguo, quickly take the Zerg Queen and run! This is an opportunity!"
"Ye Xingfan, while they are distracted by Zhao Jianguo, use melee weapons to hack and slash at the other queens. I'll take care of the leader."
Lu Manman: ...Okay, it seems they've already planned it out.
For the sake of her own life, Lu Manman hesitated for only a moment before putting all the odor-removing patches into her spatial storage. Then she cut her wrist and bled profusely.
That should be enough. After confirming that her blood volume was sufficient, Lu Manman quickly used her wood-type ability to stop the bleeding.
As expected, the Zerg Queen went berserk once again.
Lu Manman immediately spread her wings and flew up at an extremely fast speed, followed by a large group of giant women.
She ran, they chased, and even with wings, she could barely fly.
Lu Manman guided them around, trying to make them collide, because she found that even if they were completely wrecked, they would not give up chasing her.
Wow! The allure of her blood is terrifyingly potent.
Lu Manman made up her mind that wherever the Zerg Queen was, she must protect herself and never shed a drop of blood.
Thanks to the Zerg Queen's sudden madness, Qi Xiuyuan and Ye Xingfan barely managed to kill most of the delirious Zerg Queen.
Finally, the three of them ganged up on the last one, and the crisis was finally over.
At this point, Lu Manman could no longer hold on and was ejected from the mecha, collapsing to the ground. Looking at the blue sky and feeling the uneven ground beneath her body, she hadn't felt so thrilled in a long time. It was so good to be alive!
It seems that the physical training will have to be made more difficult in the future. I suddenly understand why Mu Guanghao has been calling her on his personal terminal to urge her to train her physical strength ever since he went to the front line. The insights gained from surviving a disaster are always the most profound.
Qi Xiuyuan and Ye Xingfan also breathed a sigh of relief, squatting down one after the other, their faces pale.
After a short rest, they took out the treatment pods they carried with them.
Qi Xiuyuan: "Zhao Jianguo, do you need some treatment?"
Ye Xingfan: "Jianguo, do we need a treatment pod?"
