Chapter 085
The fanboy was so easily appeased. After knowing that this battle was commanded by the Marshal, Lyle was no longer worried. Wu Zimo did not comment on Lyle's transformation. He turned on his optical computer and entered the intranet of the Condemnation Corps headquarters to retrieve the information about the Cosmic Evil.
Before, even if Wu Zimo logged into the intranet, he only looked for some technical information. Wu Zimo thought that it was impossible to encounter the dimensional Zerg so early. Not to mention that Wu Zimo was a pure technology geek, the chance of him going to the battlefield was too slim.
The only reason for leaving the Condemnation Corps headquarters would be in a situation like the current one, but Wu Zimo felt a toothache when he mentioned this.
Is he really the protagonist whose halo shines brightly in the world? After coming to the interstellar space, he only left the capital star twice. One time was to deal with hairy spiders. There is no doubt about that. The second time was this time when I encountered the dimensional Zerg again, and in the same way. It was really love.
The information about the dimensional Zerg at the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion was very detailed, and Scott had given Wu Zimo considerable authority, so after he finished reading the information about the Cosmic Zerg, his relaxed expression had to be replaced by a hint of caution.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Scott’s ability, but the cosmic insects they are facing now are not so bad, but there is a large group of higher-dimensional Zerg behind the cosmic insects who are eyeing them covetously.
I don’t know how far away their warships are from those higher-dimensional Zerg groups. If the distance is too close and the two groups of Zerg merge together, they only have ten warships and will not be able to cope with it at all.
Wu Zimo thought of the key points, how could Scott and his team, as experienced battlefield commanders, not have failed to think of them, so Scott's initial battle plan was to eliminate those cosmic insects as quickly as possible, and he had already sent the light troops here to the Scourge Legion responsible for the garrison in this star field.
The garrison has also sent troops to rescue. If they are lucky, the Condemnation Legion will be able to attack from both sides and destroy the higher-dimensional Zerg hiding behind the Cosmic Zerg.
However, the plan is good, but the reality is always so cruel. Just as Wu Zimo was thinking, a warning from the warship was issued again.
[A high-level Zerg swarm reaction has been detected three light years away. All personnel on the battleship have entered a level one wartime state.]
This time, not only did they enter the highest level of wartime, level one, but the higher-dimensional Zerg swarm they discovered was only three light-years away from them.
One light year is 9460730472580.8 kilometers, and three light years is 28382191417742.4 kilometers. Even though this number has reached over 100 billion, for the entire vast universe, a distance of three light years is just the time it takes to drink a few cups of coffee at the speed of a federal battleship.
"How come we are so close?!"
When Wu Zimo heard that the higher-dimensional Zerg were only three light-years away from them, he stood up in shock and looked at the two people in the medical room with surprise. Lyle and the old doctor had the same expressions as Wu Zimo.
Not to mention Wu Zimo and the others were surprised, even Scott, who was at the main control position on the bridge, his face instantly darkened when he heard the soldier in charge of detection suddenly shout to him that the higher-dimensional Zerg were only three light-years away from their fleet.
"Are you sure the spectrometer has no detection errors?"
"Reporting to Marshal! No! The spectrum, radar and other instruments are all normal."
Although the soldier in charge of observing the spectrometer and radar detection was nervous, his tone of voice when answering Scott was very affirmative.
“Scott, it seems that this can hardly be called an accidental encounter!”
Not only did Scott's warships detect the location of the higher-dimensional Zerg, but other warships also detected it at the same time. The faces of all the warship commanders suddenly darkened.
Under normal circumstances, the instruments for detecting dimensional Zerg on the Federation's current warships can detect dimensional Zerg from sixty light years away, whether they are low-level or high-level. However, it has only been detected at a distance of three light years. Even an idiot would not believe that there is nothing wrong inside.
Scott didn't know how their news leaked. The most important thing now was how to escape from the attack of these two groups of dimensional Zerg.
The persons in charge of other warships were quietly waiting for the Marshal's orders. After so many years of life and death experiences on the battlefield, they knew deeply that as long as Marshal Alman was there, they would definitely be fine!
Scott pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.
"All warships, listen up. Activate the new control program and sail at warp speed at maximum power."
"Yes, Marshal!"
Scott's latest order was issued, and the other nine warships all executed it directly. The mechas fighting the space bugs outside began to leave the battlefield and return to the warships under the cover of the warships' gunfire.
Scott saw that the people on the ten warships were carrying out his orders in an orderly manner, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through his eyes, especially about the group of higher-dimensional Zerg that suddenly appeared three light-years away from them.
Scott didn't believe that there was a traitor among them, and he didn't believe even more that anyone would collude with the dimensional Zerg. Because of this impossibility, some people who think they are smart want to use the dimensional Zerg to eliminate their enemies.
I don’t know what the reason is this time, but Scott is more inclined to believe that there is a problem with the dimensional Zerg.
Previously, because of Wu Zimo, they knew that low-dimensional Zergs could communicate with each other. It was also because of this that the Federation made up its mind to completely eliminate all low-dimensional Zergs that entered the Federation.
However, after so many years, although the dimensional Zerg that entered the federal border were weak in strength, their numbers were too large, and they occupied some very remote planetary meteorite belts. Therefore, these low-level dimensional Zerg are still being cleared out.
However, it can be seen from here that those dimensional Zerg have many very special abilities that humans have not yet discovered. Especially this time, even the spectroscopic instruments could only detect them three light years away.
Thinking about those dimensional Zergs with all kinds of strange abilities, especially the higher-dimensional Zergs, Scott's eyes became more and more profound.
Scott's thoughts were turning very fast, and all the above thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. At this time, he also thought of Wu Zimo who was in the medical room.
They turned on the optical computer, and because they used the internal communication network of the Condemnation Legion, it only took a moment to contact Wu Zimo directly.
"Scott, what's the situation now?" As soon as Wu Zimo saw Scott's communication pop up, he immediately answered it and asked the lit screen.
"The mechas fighting in the front have retreated and will enter warp speed soon. You'd better get into the hibernation capsule." Seeing Wu Zimo, who was nervous but still calm, Scott's tone became lighter.
"You want to use this opportunity to test the speed of the new control program?"
Wu Zimo knew what Scott's plan was as soon as he heard it. After pondering for a while, Wu Zimo continued, "The highest speed in the instrument can reach warp 7, but Master Hailey, I, and you all understand that that is the highest speed and it is impossible to reach under normal circumstances."
Indeed, if they could easily reach warp 7, they wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. They could install Wu Zimo's new control system on all their warships, and then rush to the dimensional Zerg's nest with a large group of warships and directly attack the dimensional Zerg queen.
"But under normal circumstances, we can reach Warp 5. At this speed, we should be able to get rid of the higher-dimensional Zerg swarm behind us."
Wu Zimo didn't know what kind of higher-dimensional Zerg there was three light years away from them, but he was confident in the program he created.
To be honest, if the other party can catch up at the speed of Warp 5, then they might as well just wait for those dimensional Zerg to eat them.
What Wu Zimo said was exactly what Scott was considering. Scott knew what dimensional Zerg were chasing them.
Wu Zimo had also seen the blade worm. It was the oversized higher-dimensional Zerg that was placed at the entrance of the mall’s traveling exhibition that day to scare people.
The blade worm has strong combat power, but its speed is only average. So under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the blade worms to catch up with their warships.
The only thing that matters now is what on earth allows this higher-dimensional Zerg swarm to avoid detection and only discover their traces three light years away.
This is what Scott cares about most right now.
Wu Zimo didn't know that Scott had thought so much, and when he saw that the other party understood his explanation, he stopped talking nonsense. It’s still the same old saying, leave professional matters to professionals.
At the same time, in order not to make Scott worry, he took the initiative to say: "I understand the seriousness of the matter. I will enter the hibernation capsule with Lyle later."
Although Lyle's physique is better than Wu Zimo's, he is still just a weakling with a C- rating. Fortunately, there are many hibernation capsules on the battleship, and there is one in the medical room, so Wu Zimo and Lyle don't have to run to other places.
After Wu Zimo finished speaking, he paused, his eyes softened a little, and he showed Scott his two rows of white and neat teeth.
"Marshal, this time our lives and property are all in your hands, so we must not lose."
Seeing Wu Zimo, who rarely made fun of him, through the light computer screen, Scott Lingrui's eyes softened, and he even continued the conversation, "Since you have given yourself to me, I will definitely protect you."
The computer screen was turned off, but Wu Zimo was still in a daze and couldn't react.
The thought kept flashing in my mind - Oh my god! The Marshal can actually tell jokes? !
Chapter 086
Sir Marshal is not telling a joke all of a sudden, he is just flirting!
Unfortunately, the guy who was personally flirted with by the Marshal was a very slow-witted guy. He was completely unaware of the Marshal's thoughts and even thought that the Marshal was joking!
To be honest, we really need to light a truckload of candles and observe a moment of silence for the Marshal.
Therefore, when dealing with those people who are so slow to react that they drive people crazy, you must never use roundabout policies or other unconventional policies. You must act directly and hit the core.
Of course, if the result is to scare people away, that’s another matter.
Wu Zimo, a guy who is slow to react to emotions, still doesn't know the Marshal's little thoughts about him. But it doesn't mean that someone eavesdropping on the side is as slow to react to emotions as Wu Zimo.
Everyone on the other warships was busy, but there was always one person who was particularly good at taking a break. Look, Rocard, the gossiper, actually had the mind to tease Scott and Wu Zimo at such a critical moment.
"Wow, I've only been away from you for a few hours, and your relationship has developed so fast. By the way, that little guy Wu Zimo actually gave everything to you?" Only Rocard would dare to say such obscene and dirty words to Scott, the iceberg marshal.
Didn’t you see that everyone else secretly turned their eyes away? Even the persons in charge on other warships had the same expression. Their superior, the adjutant, was courting death. It was really unbearable to watch.
Scott did not respond, but looked up and calmly looked at Rocard, who had a frivolous expression and an obscene smile. Being stared at so quietly by such a pair of cold silver pupils, even a thick-skinned Rocard couldn't stand it.
"Hey Scott, I just want to liven up the atmosphere, don't be petty and take revenge on me!"
"hehe."
The only response to Rocard's clamor was two emotionless chuckles from the Marshal. Then Scott directly used the highest authority to silence Rocard. The reporting work was handed over to another person in charge on the battleship.
The officer who received the authority on the Rocard battleship looked at his boss who was courting death again with a frown on his face. As a direct subordinate of Adjutant Rocard, he said that he was under a lot of pressure!
His boss is always courting death in front of his immediate superior, and as his subordinate, he lives in fear every day, fearing that one day the marshal will not be able to stand Adjutant Rocard and will exile him to the frontier!
Without Rocard making trouble, the expressions of the others returned to their previous calm state, but everyone's mood was not as tense as before.
Rocard was right when he said he was trying to adjust the atmosphere, so this suicidal person was actually somewhat useful. Everyone on the battleship knew how powerful the new program was, but it had not been tested, so even if they had confidence, it was not enough.
Now, with Rocard's interruption, the atmosphere on the ten warships suddenly became a lot more relaxed. Scott had been watching everyone's mood change in silence, his eyes moving slightly.
All the mechas responsible for fighting the space bugs returned to the battleships, and those space bugs could not rely on ten battleships because of the artillery fire from the battleships. At the same time, the new control program developed by Wu Zimo allowed the soldiers to once again personally experience the power of this new program.
Although we have not yet tested the upcoming warp speed navigation, our confidence has increased a lot.
"Marshal, the power system has been fully charged!"
The voices came to Scott's ears through the display screen. Scott stood up from his seat, looked ahead calmly, and said in a steady tone: "Warp speed, start!"
"yes!"
With the push of the battleship pilots, a very strange energy wall appeared again outside the ten battleships. At this time, the cosmic insects, which were no longer blocked by artillery fire, seemed to have discovered Scott and his men's plan and rushed towards the ten battleships desperately.
However, due to the obstruction of the energy wall, those small cosmic insects could not break through the outer strange power wall at all.
In the universe, a special wave that humans cannot hear is constantly spreading in a certain way.
"Marshal! The swarm of higher-dimensional Zerg on the side and rear has suddenly increased its speed, and they will arrive here in one minute!" The soldier who had been concentrating on staring at the spectrometer and radar suddenly shouted to Scott.
After hearing the soldier's report, Scott frowned and his eyes became colder, but Scott was not very worried because he could see from the display screen that there was a distortion in the positions of their ten warships.
He knew that their warship had entered warp speed, and the distorted scene was just an afterimage left because of the high speed.
Not only Scott knew it, but the bladeworms that finally arrived also knew it. Watching the prey escape from their mouths, the group of huge blade worms opened their huge and creepy mouthparts towards the place that had disappeared, emitting waves of anger that humans could not hear.
At the same time, a very small white unknown Zerg stood on the head of a blade worm. Its eight black compound eyes looked in the direction of the original ten warships that had disappeared. Its sense of touch kept shaking, as if it was conveying some message.
Although the ten warships were sure to have avoided the attack of the blade worms, the images that just remained on the screen really made them break out in a cold sweat.
Even though we knew they were blade bugs, seeing such a large group of these giants with our own eyes was a very scary scene. Also because we have entered the warp speed phase, the outside scene has been blocked, so the big screen now shows the last scene.
It has a huge body, densely packed sharp teeth, and front claws with barbs. The blade worms that were about to attack them this time were even bigger than the ones Wu Zimo had seen at the exhibition.
Wu Zimo and Lyle had already entered the hibernation capsule, so they had no idea of the situation outside. Fortunately, they didn't see anything. Otherwise, if they had seen such disgusting moving blade worms, they would have been so scared that they couldn't sleep well at night.
After Scott confirmed that it was temporarily safe, he asked the technicians to record the data of the voyage.
After being reminded by the Marshal, they remembered that although this was an escape, it was also an experiment, so the technicians quickly put aside their fear of the bladeworms and started working seriously.
The soldiers on the ten warships returned to their respective posts again, and those soldiers who were injured in the battle with the cosmic bugs were sent to the medical room.
The soldiers on Wu Zimo's warship are quite strong. Even if there are any injured, they are only slightly injured. There is no need for the old doctor to take action. The two medical robots can handle it.
However, the old doctor was not idle either. Although he was a guide, the warp speed this time had little impact on him, especially since his quantum beast had appeared beside him to protect him, so he had nothing to worry about. The old doctor is now focusing on taking care of Wu Zimo and Lyle who are in the hibernation chamber.
These are the two weakest teenagers on the entire battleship, and one of them is very important to the marshal, so the old doctor must pay special attention to him.
Every ten minutes or so, the old doctor would look at the instrument's recorded data to see what the two were doing. No problem, just continue with the work at hand.
However, the busy old doctor's light computer suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was a stranger's light computer number. The old doctor wondered strangely who would look for him at this time.
The old doctor, who couldn't figure it out, stopped thinking about it and just turned on the computer.
After the optical computer was connected, a very young boy appeared, but he already had the aura of a strong man. What surprised the old doctor the most was that this boy had a cold face and his expression was very much like a marshal.
It was rare to meet a young man who had the same aura and momentum as the marshal. The old doctor did not turn off the communication because the other party was a stranger. Instead, he put on a peaceful smile and looked at the icy young man opposite him, and took the initiative to say: "Hello, who are you?"
