the next day.
The first rays of sunlight fall in the morning.
"boom!"
A jet fighter broke through the clouds and landed vertically on the pristine white icebergs of Antarctica.
The hatch opened.
A cold wind brushed my face.
"Phew~"
"Is this what Antarctica looks like?"
"But it doesn't seem as cold as I expected."
Su Bai stepped out of the fighter jet, his feet landing on the hard ice. He looked around and saw nothing but white.
Wang Zhenguo followed closely behind, smiling as he said, "It's not that the Antarctic climate isn't cold, but rather that the Lord's special physique allows him to withstand the cold here."
"I see!"
Su Bai nodded.
"Lord Su, what exactly is your purpose in coming to the Antarctic glacier?" Li Enzhen couldn't help but ask.
"Could there be some secret hidden here?" Zhao Ganwu looked at Su Bai.
Su Bai gave a mysterious smile. "Come with me, and the truth will soon be revealed."
"In short, you won't be disappointed." He walked ahead and added as he turned back.
"Is it that mysterious?" Wang Zhenguo scratched his head, his eyes full of curiosity.
The group followed Su Bai, walking forward step by step.
Of course, it's not a aimless search.
As soon as they arrived in Antarctica, Su Bai received a message from Niyadra.
Furthermore, they also learned the exact location of the "Purifier" ship where Niyadra was located.
Twenty minutes later.
The group arrived at the entrance to a huge underground glacial cave.
The ice wall at the entrance was filled with a faint purple light.
"This is it!"
Su Bai took the lead and stepped into it.
"Strange, the ice and snow here seem to be tinged with a purple light." Li Enzhen looked around, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
“Purple!” Wang Zhenguo was slightly shocked and blurted out, “Purple is the color unique to your insectoid race. Could it be that there are insectoids of your race in this underground glacial cave?”
"Colonel Wang is indeed clever!"
Su Bai said with a smile as he walked forward.
"Can the insectoid creatures withstand such a cold climate?" Li Enzhen asked.
“Although the temperature here is low, it’s nothing to the insect swarm!” Su Bai said without hesitation.
"Could it be that the Zerg creatures here are your way of dealing with the Terran technology deployed by the US military?" Wang Zhenguo's eyes lit up as he asked repeatedly.
You'll find out soon enough!
Su Bai smiled broadly.
The group passed through the ice wall passageway.
After turning two corners.
The space in front of me suddenly became spacious.
The white, icy ground was covered with a purple fungal carpet.
A large spaceship, 100 meters long, was prominently displayed in the very center.
On the left and right sides, two huge purple insect nests stand.
"This is—the Protoss mothership Purifier!" Wang Zhenguo's eyes widened, his face filled with utter horror: "Didn't it leave Earth last year?"
“I’m sorry, Colonel Wang, in order to deceive the United States and the world, I was forced to tell you and Mr. Guo a white lie.” Su Bai paused and continued, “I did not let the infected Purifier leave Earth, but instead had it lie dormant in the Antarctic ice sheet, accumulating strength in preparation for a change in the situation.”
"The military monitors the Antarctic glaciers around the clock, so why has it never detected any trace of this ship?" Wang Zhenguo couldn't help but ask.
“The Purifier is an advanced Protoss mothership, and its powerful technology is sufficient to shield it from any detection signals from Earth,” Su Bai explained.
"Holy crap, an underground insect hive base has been built here using the infected Purifier as a base."
Wang Zhenguo squatted down, stroking the purple fungal carpet on the ground, his eyes revealing intense excitement.
“Strange! Only lords and lone wolves can travel between Earth and Redemption. How did the Protoss ships appear here?” Lee Eun-jung asked, her face full of confusion and curiosity.
“Actually, Earth and Redemption are in the same universe, but the distance between them is extremely far.” Su Bai looked at Li Enzhen. “And this Protoss ship has unique warp technology, which can jump quickly in the universe, similar to traversing a wormhole. Coincidentally, it came to Earth just like that.”
"How could this be!" Lee Eun-jung nodded, a hint of shock in her beautiful eyes.
Just then.
The Purifier's hatch opened.
"My lord, I have finally seen you again!"
A queen insect, about two meters tall, quickly emerged from the hatch.
Her crown was covered with rows of sharp spikes, emanating specks of psionic fluorescence.
"Nyadra, it's been a long time!"
Su Bai stepped forward and patted Niyadra's tough skin.
Immediately afterwards, springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches scurried out of the hatch.
There are approximately one thousand of them.
"Great! With the Purifier, the Niyadera, and thousands of insect soldiers to our aid, we can now confront the advanced Terran technology military products of the United States."
Zhao Ganwu, his face beaming with excitement, couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly.
Wang Zhenguo frowned slightly and said, "Not enough! Having only these is not enough!"
"The combined military strength of the United States, Japan, South Korea, and other NATO countries that are eyeing us with predatory intent has exceeded ten million."
"With these insect soldiers and a single ship, it is difficult to withstand the enemy's large army."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Zhao Ganwu said angrily, "Damn Americans, I'll fight them to the death!"
“A single Protoss ship cannot change the overall situation, but fortunately, it can take you away.” Wang Zhenguo looked around at everyone and said without hesitation, “When the time comes and it really comes to an extremely dangerous emergency, you young people should leave immediately, so that we can leave a seed of hope for the Dragon Kingdom.”
"No! I won't leave! I can't let foreign invaders invade our homeland!" Zhao Ganwu's eyes were filled with determination. "Even if I die, I will die on the road of charging forward!"
"Cough cough!"
Su Bai coughed a few times. "There's no need to be pessimistic. The situation isn't actually that bad."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to him.
"Niyadra, how did you do with the task I entrusted to you?" Su Bai turned around and asked.
"My lord, I have successfully completed the task you entrusted to me: to conceal myself, lie low, and modify and strengthen the ant race!"
Niyadra's gaze was intense, his eyes sparkling with light.
"Well done! I'm proud of you!" Su Bai raised his voice.
"My lord, please look!"
Niyadra clapped her hands. "Ants, come out!"
The words were spoken.
Ants and insects emerged from the surrounding holes.
Their appearance is no different from that of ordinary black ants.
However, its volume has been enlarged many times over.
Its overall size is similar to that of a husky.
"It was a great success!"
Su Bai looked around, his eyes filled with delight.
Niyadra picked up an ant and said:
"The new insect sequence—Ant-Insect—is a genetic modification of ants on Earth by fusing them with alien insect genes."
"Although it is not as big as a springtail and its combat power is not as good as a springtail, it has the advantage of a large number of them."
"Furthermore, ants and insects have a strong reproductive capacity and a short growth cycle."
"Even with mass casualties, a sizable army can be quickly rebuilt."
"In addition, these ants are exceptionally strong and naturally adept at teamwork, making them well-suited for swarm operations."
