Chapter 65 Chapter 65 After cleaning up the team on the third floor...

After cleaning up the team on the third floor, they learned that the situation on the third floor was not optimistic either, only slightly better than the second floor. Before the First Military Academy reported it, the Zerg had already attacked the second and third floors closest to them in an unmonitored room.

This undoubtedly made Gad feel fortunate. The death of a heavyweight was enough. If the Campbell family's only child also got into trouble on this starship, it was unimaginable what the First Legion could do. After all, the old emperor had two children, the eldest prince and the third princess.

Alicia was sad and afraid. If the Zerg who attacked Felrus had not been killed, if Tang En had not immediately raised the alarm and gathered everyone, if William had not quickly thought of the infrasonic system and asked them to turn it on,

their fate would not be much better than the next two floors. Dorothy had already been caught.

Tang En stopped Gad who wanted to go directly down to the first floor.

"I have a batch of new reconnaissance robots here. Let's use them to check the situation first."

Gad did not deny Tang En's proposal immediately, but still asked doubtfully: "Can it do it? There were robots for reconnaissance of insect nests before, but they were useless in the end."

Tang En opened the box William gave her. Inside lay five black birds that were only one inch big and had sharp beaks. They looked very realistic.

Why is it so difficult for humans to explore a worm nest? Because once a worm nest is developed, it is difficult for various sound waves and radiation detection to penetrate it. It is an outer shell that can resist cosmic radiation. Once you enter the worm nest, there is not only the huge mental power of the worm mother as a radar, but also various offspring as the eyes of her flesh//body - it is completely the territory of the worm race.

Gad recognized the paint on the hummingbird robot. It was a newly developed paint that was famous recently. It can effectively deceive the worm mother's mental power perception.

Although he didn't know whether the reconnaissance robot brought by Tang En would work, but seeing the face of the paint, Gad reluctantly agreed to Tang En's idea.

"Okay, let's see if this little thing is useful."

A hummingbird took off lightly.

"If it doesn't work, Mr. Gad will have to lead by example and go to the first floor."

Tang En said lightly, putting Gad on the spot.

She was not angry, but that didn't mean she could tolerate Gad's extra needs besides doing his job.

Everyone looked at Gad immediately.

- Yes, Gad had established himself as the leader by establishing his authority before. Everyone had seen the second and third floors, and most of the people present had encountered scenes of the Zerg at this level.

Want to kill the worm nest?

That's a life-and-death situation!

"If, under the leadership of Vice Chairman Gad, we not only failed to save the prince, but also brought the worm nest back to the capital planet, I believe that both you and the chairman would sentence you to death in the military court."

Tang En looked at Gad steadily, as if to say - do you really think you can escape?

Compared to the death of a prince in the empire, the more serious thing is that the worm queen and the worm nest were brought back to the capital planet!

Gad didn't expect that he was just being eccentric for a while, but he ended up getting into trouble with Tang En - he would never admit that he got the sweetness of his first show of power from Tang En, thinking that Campbell, no matter how powerful he was, was now just a college student who could be slaughtered at will, so he would say that.

Gad laughed dryly, "The one below is definitely an incompletely developed worm queen. As long as we clear out the other worms, there is still a high probability that she will be killed. If it is a worm nest, we will face endless -"

Tang En's light brain flashed, she turned on the video, and the hummingbird had successfully entered the first floor and sent back the picture.

All she saw was red.

Red, red, and the half-body of the guard before being hung up.

No worm mothers were seen, instead there was a strange red passage full of flesh and blood, and the worms on the ground waiting to hatch.

The place with the densest mycelium and flesh and blood was

called the energy room.

When Gad saw this scene, his mind buzzed instantly, and he finally figured out why the worm mothers were on the first floor.

The worm mothers needed a lot of energy to turn into a worm nest, and the energy of the starship, in addition to the reactor, was the energy blocks stored for emergency use - their raw materials were ore, which was one of the resources that the worms could plunder! It's just that what everyone sees most intuitively is that the Zerg killed all the animals and plants on the planet, but it's hard to remember that the planet where the Zerg stayed was really resource-depleted and had absolutely no usable resources.

For a moment, he was sweating profusely and was completely panicked.

The hummingbird flew very fast, but the images transmitted back were very stable.

There were several newly created Zerg Guardians guarding the energy room. The Guardians were the personal guards of the queens in the nest. The guardian of each queen was determined by the genes swallowed by the queen. This queen's guardian was deformed, one person tall, with palms on his arms and a sickle similar to a praying mantis. At first glance, it was clear that it was a monster created by swallowing human genes not long ago.

After approaching, the hummingbird quickly retreated, deftly dodging all kinds of hanging blood vessels.

"There is only one way now." Tang En said.

Gad asked unconsciously: "What way?"

The others also looked at Tang En, and no one was not terrified at this time.

That was a queen worm that ate all the backup energy of a starship! She has transformed into a worm nest. Now there is a worm nest on the first floor, and it will soon spread to the entire starship. Everyone will be in the worm nest and become the nutrient of the queen worm, creating food for new worms.

Tang En looked at them and said, "Destroy the nuclear reactor in the energy room."

————

Everyone upstairs is fighting against the worms that emerged from various places.

The heavy objects that Plasma and Shano brought pressed down on the sewer and toilet, and the ventilation ducts were blocked by the Zerg. Air is very important in the starship. The vacuum environment outside will drain the oxygen that humans need, so the wind circulation system on the starship is crucial.

Fortunately, there is an infrasound system. Plasma and his team took the risk to turn on the infrasound in the room, then went out, passed the Zerg blockade in the corridor, and entered another room.

When they were in a stalemate, suddenly, all the Zerg became restless and retreated like a tide.

With a "click", all the lights went out.

Every device, every place they had never noticed before, all the machines that maintain human survival stopped.

Phylus looked up and staggered two steps. The heavy breathing of the people was intertwined.

The starship fell into the ultimate silence.

"What happened?" Phylus grabbed William beside him.

William: "...They have suspended the energy reactor of the entire starship."

William patted his head, feeling something was wrong. "They should have let the nuclear reactor on the first floor leak to kill the Zerg Queen. We can resist for a while with our protective suits, but the Zerg cannot. Although the outer shell of the Zerg nest can protect it, it cannot protect the inside and ordinary Zerg."

The characteristic of the Zerg is that they can absorb and splice the genes of other races. This advantage allows them to adapt to the environment of all planets in the interstellar, but also makes their genes fragile and vulnerable when facing radiation.

Felix looked at William.

He looked out the window again. The stars outside had become the only light source at this time, and all the stars were motionless.

"How long can we hold on? The worm queen is dead and the starship has no energy." Phyllus murmured.

The huge starship was suspended in space. Without energy, it could not move forward. Maybe it would be captured by the gravity of some stars and wander in the universe.

Take them with it.

"There should be backup energy, haha." Shanuo laughed.

"The backup energy was eaten by the worm queen."

Tang En's voice came from the corridor.

Tang En kicked open the door on the fourth floor and shone a beam of light.

"Come here, let's go to the top floor."

The beam of light caught Phyllus' eyes.

Tang En looked at everyone's expressions.

Swordfish and Louis were okay. They were not afraid or panicked. Maybe they were a little relieved.

Oscar's face was filled with fear, William was looking at Alicia behind her, and Lambert couldn't hold back his tears and sobbed.

Plaus blocked the light with his hand, then he opened his eyes wide and looked at Tang En, as if he wanted to see her more clearly.

Tang En curled the corners of his mouth and shone the light source on the ground.

The blood on the ground reflected the light, spreading to the entire space and glowing.

The people of the First Military Academy were now happy to see them return safely, but they couldn't help but feel despair when they thought that the starship had become a prison from now on.

They walked towards the corridor, and Plaus was still the last one to walk to Tang En's side.

"Will we die on the starship, senior sister?"

Tang En leaned against the door of the corridor and looked at him.

"There is not only one starship in the entire universe." Tang En raised his hand and pointed to the location of the optical computer.

Phyrus was stunned for a moment.

"I have contacted the main star of the Kessi galaxy. They are the nearest galaxy. It won't be long before a new starship will pick us up."

Tang En originally wanted to reach out and touch Phyrus's head, but thinking that there were a lot of unknown liquids on her hands, he didn't do it.

—— He was so afraid of death, but at this time he only thought of death.

Tang En smiled and raised his hand and waved: "Let's go, junior brother."

Almost when everyone had just gathered on the top of the starship, the starship from the Kessi galaxy to pick them up had arrived. It was

also at this time that Phyrus saw clearly how many people were left on the starship.

Nearly a quarter less than the original number of people on board.

After the hive dies, the Zerg controlled by the queen will also die, but because the Ksi galaxy is also a low-intensity war zone, the starship that came to pick them up also brought instruments to detect Zerg parasites to prevent any worms from taking advantage of the situation.

After handling everything, they boarded this starship to the capital star.

The original starship was engulfed by artillery fire and completely blown to pieces.

The small frigate that dealt with space junk was busy at the wreckage, and everything disappeared.

Phyllus stood by the window, looking at the scene that was gradually getting farther and farther away.

Looking back, it was the doctors who were busy, and the robot nurses who were shuttling to deliver medicines and equipment.

Phyllus pursed his lips.

Oscar was lying on the bed, he was burned by the Zerg's venom, but he held it in until he was safe and then lay down.

Oscar said, "Phyllus, what are you thinking about?"

Phyllus saw the doctor thinking of Dorothy, he said, "Nowadays, human weapons seem to be easy to deal with Zerg, but it is too difficult for each of us to escape unscathed."

Oscar heard Phyllus' words, and an ugly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, you are born for the battlefield."

Oscar covered his face, and his mood seemed very unstable. "My family is not well off, and I want to take care of my parents and sister."

Philus: "Brother Oscar, I believe you can make a career wherever you go."

Philus's comfort may have worked. Oscar adjusted his mood and exhaled, "What about Campbell?"

"No matter where she goes, I will follow her," Philus said, "I may not be as useful as you, but I will learn what you know in the future. I will be whatever she needs."
