Chapter 85 The Insect Invasion
"Reporting to Major General, there is nothing wrong. The people monitoring us have not found anything unusual either. It seems that these people and this dimensional shop have only appeared in the last two days."
"The lieutenant Mokri replied in a low voice. After all, every now and then, the people monitoring Yanmu Star would patrol the entire planet," Mokri explained.
He had just finished his inspection a week ago and found nothing unusual, so he guessed that the appearance of this interdimensional shop must have happened in the last few days.
"People from other star systems? How interesting! Dean Lucius, have you ever heard of people from other star systems?" Major General Hize turned to Dean Lucius beside him thoughtfully.
"No, but history records that there are other star systems besides our Milky Way galaxy. However, these star systems are all very far apart, so there is no interaction between them."
It seems those old guys at the research institute must have explored the mysteries of the galaxy, but they only found some clues and couldn't delve any deeper.
However, their ability to freely travel through wormholes to reach us indicates that their technology may far exceed our imagination.
As Lucius watched Gu Xinyan and the other three on the big screen, he found them increasingly mysterious. He also felt a sense of familiarity with the unknown creature, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen it before.
Then, his gaze shifted to the table full of delicious food, and he almost couldn't help but drool.
Honestly, he really wanted to activate the holographic taste function too! He was so drooling over them; these brats, they could eat all they wanted, but instead they were explaining it all over the place, really…
“Well, whether they’re really just here to do business or not, we need to find out. I’m quite interested in what they sell in this shop, since they were able to get in so quietly.” Dean Kent of the Second Military Academy added.
"Yes! Major General, let's go take a look! With them around, the students' training will definitely be affected. Why don't we pause for now and find out their intentions first?"
"Yes, yes, these people arrived without making a sound. They might actually be from a higher-level star system than us. I wonder what kind of things they sell in their shops."
"Wait, look at that! What does that look like? It looks like a wild wormhole to me! Ah? That! Is that the Zerg? How could there be Zerg on Flamewood?"
"And it's the Black Beetles, the most formidable of the Zerg! My god, these students are only at level four at most. If they encounter these Black Beetles, they're doomed!"
The crowd, who were still speculating about the identities of Gu Xinyan and her companions and wondering what kind of things the noodle shop sold, were brought back to their senses by this exclamation.
What? Zerg? How could there be Zerg on Flamejutsu?
But when their gaze turned to the StarNet, they were instantly so startled that they jumped up from their chairs.
In the First Military Academy's StarNet live broadcast room, a dark hole suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky, and the hole was constantly growing larger.
Inside the black hole, one after another, black beetle race members with hard shells and claws emerged, baring their fangs and claws as they charged towards the group of people below who were happily eating.
"Ah! Watch out! Stop eating and get out of the way!" Dean Audrey shouted in alarm.
The others in the command room also wore grim expressions; they never expected that these Zerg would be so treacherous and cunning.
Despite their precautions, they still managed to find a loophole. It seems that the Black Beetle Clan was sent by a higher-level insectoid race to scout ahead.
It was obvious without even guessing that there was probably a large force behind them, and with that thought in mind, they couldn't wait any longer.
After all, the students on Yanmu Star are the best of the younger generation in the Empire. If something were to happen to them all, it would be a great loss to the Empire.
"Let's go! To Flame Jupiter!"
Major General Hize's cold eyes swept across the Black Beetle Clan on the big screen, and he said coldly, "These ignorant insectoids dare to cause trouble at this time. Do they really think their empire has no one left?"
As Major General Hize finished speaking, everyone in the command room rushed to the spaceship's docking point.
Meanwhile, Gu Xinyan and her group, whose hearts were in suspense as everyone in the empire was anxiously eating and chatting, suddenly felt the sky darken. This sudden change left them all somewhat puzzled.
But when they looked up and saw the clear sky, a huge, dark hole suddenly appeared, and what emerged from that hole were the Black Beetle Clan, and they were all alive.
It's important to understand that this batch of students are all second-year combat majors, and what they've learned so far is only how to deal with alien beasts.
But the Zerg are something only third-year students can get to know. How come the Zerg are involved in this military exercise?
Although they had never been in contact with them, they had a deep understanding of the different types of Zerg.
What appeared above their heads was the Black Beetle Clan, famous for its hard shell, especially the two large pincers on its front claws, which could clamp a person in half.
"My God, that...that's the Black Beetle Clan, right? How can there be insectoids on Flamewood Star? Waaaaah...I don't want to die! I just found something delicious, and I haven't had enough yet, waaaaah..."
Ai Luoluo stared in horror at the black beetle race emerging from the black hole. Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't hold them back.
"We're only second-year students, why are our instructors deploying Zerg to us? What... what do we do?"
"Waaaaah, these black beetle race members look so scary! We're no match for them at all, and our mech only has one energy stone. What are we going to do?"
"I don't want to die yet, sob sob sob, I miss home, I want to go home!"
The cacophony of weeping around him made Ryder's heart sink. What he needed to do now was to rally the troops; at this crucial moment, he couldn't afford to panic. Thinking this, he shouted loudly to the group:
"Stop talking. This is obviously not something the instructors dropped. That black hole is probably a wild wormhole. We students have probably been targeted by an advanced insectoid race."
If they want our lives, everyone listen up! Get in your mechs and follow me to fight! We are all students of the First Military Academy; in the face of danger, no one is allowed to desert.
Xi Feng, try to get through to the instructors and tell them what's happening here. Also, send a message to all the students on Yanmu Star to inform them of the situation.
"Send them here quickly! I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can't kill these few black beetle hordes!"
"Yes, Captain!"
