Bosa flagship.
"How is the small warship recovery mission going?"
Commander Bosa asked softly, "Our antimatter reserves are running low. Once we've dealt with human civilization, we might need the antimatter from these small warships to return to our home planet."
Upon hearing this, a large stick insect quickly lowered its head and pressed a few buttons on the control panel in front of it.
"Recovery robots have already been dispatched; based on the timeline, they should..."
The moment the image appeared on the monitor, the large stick insect's constantly wriggling mouthparts abruptly stopped.
"how?"
The abrupt end of the conversation gave Commander Bosa a bad feeling: "Has something happened to the small warship?"
"Commander..." The large stick insect responsible for recovering the small warships trembled slightly, raised its two pairs of forelimbs, and gently rubbed its eyeballs. "The antimatter storage device... has disappeared."
"What did you say?!" Commander Bosa looked at the crew member beside him in disbelief and asked sharply, "Disappeared?!"
"How could a perfectly good antimatter storage device just vanish into thin air?!"
The stern reprimands amplified the trembling of the crew members.
"Indeed, it has disappeared."
"Warship, warship, several damaged areas have been found inside the warship. It seems, it seems that someone else has been inside."
Commander Bosa's expression changed slightly. It strode over to the crew member and gave him a hard shove with its forelegs.
Get out of my way!
It shouted sternly.
Beneath those stern words lay a face filled with utter terror.
Like the crew, Commander Bossa's two pairs of forelimbs trembled wildly as he activated the data transmitted back by the recovery robot.
boom!
Its mind was completely blank.
After a long while, two syllables popped out of my blank mind.
"It's over..."
It muttered to itself, "Human civilization has beaten us to it..."
“I don’t understand…” Commander Bossa stared blankly at the monitor, muttering to himself, “When exactly did they do these things…”
"I didn't see any enemy ships approaching these small warships at all!"
It doesn't understand!
Human civilization has always been at a disadvantage in wars, so why are they still able to do these dirty deeds?!
How dare they do these things?!
Everything has to be reasonable!
For the first time, Commander Bosa felt wronged in the war.
This damned human civilization has never played by the rules!
"Damn robbers! Thieves! Scoundrels!!" Commander Bosa cursed through gritted teeth.
A few seconds later, the cursing gradually subsided.
“Send them a communication request.”
Commander Bosa said with a ferocious expression, "Let's see if we can persuade them to surrender!"
"If we keep fighting, even if we win, we won't be able to go home!"
...
A few seconds later.
As the holographic projection gradually became clearer, images from the Bosa civilization reappeared before Lü Yongchang and the others.
Unlike the first time we met.
This time, the large stick insects inside the Bosa flagship were not as arrogant as before, but rather appeared somewhat listless.
Even Commander Bossa, standing in the very center of the frame, no longer appears upright with his slender and thin body.
It seems that this commander, who has experienced countless wars, is finding it difficult to accept the loss of such a large number of warships.
Even so, the moment the communication was successfully established, it slowly raised its two pairs of forelimbs, made a circle in front of its chest, and then glanced at the screen with a disdainful look.
"Human civilization, you have been defeated!"
"The planetary fortress is no longer usable. You have no chance of winning this war."
"Surrender now, abandon all resistance, and I can preserve the last spark of your race."
As he spoke, a picture appeared on the holographic projection in front of everyone.
The image is filled with dense, obscure text that resembles tadpoles.
Zero quickly began performing the translation task.
As the Chinese characters slowly appeared, Lü Yongchang's eyebrows shot up.
The text is very simple; it concerns the methods of dealing with the aftermath of human civilization's surrender.
According to the plan proposed by the Bosa civilization, human civilization would be preserved with a population of one million, kept in a large starship, awaiting the judgment of the Cleansers civilization.
As for the other humans, their fate is self-evident.
Looking at the large food recycling and processing facility in the plan, everyone in the command center turned ashen-faced.
"You bastard!"
Sitting not far from Lü Yongchang, Fang Xu slammed his fist on the table in front of him and shouted angrily, "Is this how you treat prisoners?!"
"They actually treated prisoners as..."
As he spoke, Fang Xu's expression changed rapidly, then he felt nauseous and couldn't help but vomit.
In the holographic projection, all the Bosa people looked at Fang Xu's actions with puzzled expressions.
A sound like fingernails scratching came from the speaker, and at the same time, Zero's real-time translation was displayed to everyone.
"Isn't this the normal procedure?"
“Proteins and fats are scarce resources in the universe, and it would be too wasteful to discard them directly. With proper processing, these materials can be put to good use.”
"This method of handling things is very common; many civilizations in the universe do it this way."
"Aren't you the same?"
The text in the holographic projection gripped Lü Yongchang's heart.
His face turned slightly pale, and he took a few deep breaths to calm his terrible emotions.
Then, Lü Yongchang stared at the holographic projection with extreme disgust and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Human civilization will never surrender!"
"You are the ones who should surrender!"
The moment the words fell, an incredibly intense flash of light erupted within the Bosa fleet!
Through the porthole, Lü Yongchang caught a glimpse of the sudden burst of light out of the corner of his eye!
"Hit!!"
A suppressed gasp of surprise came from the side.
At the same time, an extremely sharp and piercing sound came from the speaker—the communication had not been interrupted.
Lu Yongchang subconsciously turned his head to look at the holographic projection.
The projected image was shaking violently, and the previously calm Bosa people were thrown into chaos.
Those piercing sounds were the terrified cries of these stick insects.
Lu Yongchang frowned slightly and clicked his tongue softly.
The uninterrupted communication footage shows that this round of attacks from the two-dimensional fragments did not hit the enemy's flagship.
"Zero, which enemy ships did we hit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, real-time images from the detector appeared beside Lü Yongchang.
Illuminated by several large flares, two-dimensional paper warships slowly stretched out into the universe.
