Chapter 96 Rescue Arrives
“Aurer, I remember there’s a spaceship at the research institute. They don’t use it much anyway, so why don’t we take that spaceship over to the ancestor?”
"We can also loot the research institute while we're at it! Uh yeah, I mean, take some things with us. Then we can buy some seeds from the ancestor and bring them back for these old men! What do you think?"
The Queen said with a smile, "After all, we have to invest a lot of money in the research institute every year. They can't even solve the problem of the Zerg. Now we finally have an opportunity to plunder them."
Upon hearing this, the emperor suddenly realized what was going on, and his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at the empress.
“Seele is so smart. The ancestors definitely don’t have a spaceship. Let’s take that spaceship to them and give it to them! Let’s go! Let’s go to the research institute!” After saying that, she pulled the Queen and hurried towards the research institute.
Meanwhile, on Yanmu Star, Gu Xinyan and her three companions were unaware that a massive wave of gifts was about to rush towards them.
She checked the time; it was already 10 p.m. The students were incredibly excited, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.
After thinking about it, I decided not to keep going with them. Anyway, everything in the store is fully automated. Once these students get over their excitement, they should settle down.
They would all have to squeeze together to rest tonight, since there wasn't any extra room for them in the store. So, after saying a few words to Ryder, he went upstairs to rest.

They slept soundly through the night, and although it was very noisy downstairs, it did not affect their sleep at all. When they came down, they found that the students had already gotten up and were curiously looking at the Zerg outside the protective shield.
The multi-clawed insectoids that had fled earlier have all returned and are now attacking the protective shield.
Meanwhile, the Black Beetle Clan on the other side, after an afternoon and a night of attacks, were now completely motionless.
They clung to the top of the protective shield, peering inside. Luckily, the shield had been enlarged, otherwise they probably wouldn't even be able to see what the sky looked like.
These Zerg are really too persistent!
And so, bored, they sat on small stools, watching the Zerg outside the protective shield for the entire morning.
As noon approached, a huge spaceship flew in from the sky, its silver-black hull gleaming mysteriously and dazzlingly in the sunlight.
The moment it appeared, dozens of huge mechs flew out from it.
This unexpected turn of events attracted the attention of all the Zerg present. Upon seeing the mechs, they seemed to have found their target again and swarmed towards them.
This time, however, the Zerg were not so lucky. They were no longer facing second-year students, but rather a battle-hardened major general and various instructors.
The weapons in each mech's hand gleamed with a chilling light. Facing the swarming insectoids, they were fearless, and the roar of energy swords, laser cannons, energy cannons, and particle cannons rose and fell in waves.
Those inside the protective shield watched the empty space in silence, their blood boiling with excitement.
"That's so cool! When will I be able to own a mecha like that? It's so awesome!" Li Chendong exclaimed enviously.
Gu Xinyan glanced at him and said with a smile, "I'd like to have one too! But speaking of which, I was surprised to see the Zerg in interstellar space like this. I thought they would be some kind of unknown creature! I wonder if this giant crab is even edible!"
[Host, the Black Beetle Clan's toxins are the same as those of the alien beasts; they all have a toxin sac. Just remove that sac, and the rest of its body is non-toxic and safe to eat.]
Upon hearing its host's words, Xiaobai explained that it had secretly scanned the black beetle clan yesterday and found that they were edible.
However, there were too many things to do yesterday, and it eventually forgot about it. If its host hadn't brought it up, it wouldn't have remembered it for a moment. But when it saw another Zerg, it quickly continued.
[Host, the multi-clawed worm is inedible; it's poisonous from head to toe. However, it's also incredibly valuable, a great material for refining weapons.]
We can keep these for now. If we go to the cultivation world and learn the methods of weapon crafting, we can use them, or we can take them back for the academicians to study!
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Gu Xinyan and the other three's eyes lit up. One of these insectoids was edible, and the other, though inedible, was still a treasure. Now, their gazes towards them were no longer filled with disdain, but with anticipation.
The aerial battle lasted for nearly an hour before all the Zerg were wiped out.
After surveying the surroundings, the mechs slowly landed in front of the protective shield, and Major General Hize, the academicians, and the instructors then stepped out of the mechs.
Seeing the students safe inside the protective shield, he finally smiled.
"Mr. Gu, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my students wouldn't be here safe and sound right now!" Lucius said with a smile as he stepped forward to express his gratitude.
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Gu, and everyone else. It's a good thing you're here! Otherwise, these students would have been in big trouble!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It was really close. You have no idea, when I saw the Zerg appear in the StarNet live stream, my heart was pounding in my chest."
"You're absolutely right! I'm still in a daze! Luckily, Boss Gu and the others were there, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to the students' parents!"
The academicians and instructors kept talking, leaving Gu Xinyan no chance to speak. She could only nod and smile in response to each of their remarks.
Finally, Vice General Mokri couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to defuse the situation, "Alright, your students are still here watching. Look at you all, stop talking and let Boss Gu say a few words!"
Upon hearing this, the students inside the protective shield couldn't help but chuckle. Gu Xinyan also found it quite amusing and stepped forward, smiling:
"It's fate that we happened to run into each other. It shows that these students were not meant to die, and they will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
After saying that, he looked at the corpses of the Zerg and continued:
"By the way, do you still want those Zerg bodies? If not, can you give them to us?"
Hearing this, everyone present was puzzled, not understanding what she wanted to do with the bodies of these insectoids.
Major General Hize, standing at the back of the crowd, also looked puzzled. Since he didn't understand, he decided to ask, and so he asked:
"Mr. Gu, what use do you have for these Zerg?"
