"Isn't this information you already know?" Chi Jiazhen retorted. "Many of the people who came to planet B5-273 came from planet Nott."
At this point, he seemed to have lost interest in continuing his confrontation with Li Chonghe, and simply looked up into the distance, saying, "Wen Xihe seems to be coming back."
Cen Yu turned his head to follow his gaze, but all he could see was darkness; he couldn't see Wen Xihe or the instructors at all...?
The change can happen in an instant.
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently, as if the underground fortress was about to collapse.
Upon seeing this, Cen Yu immediately summoned his mecha and hurriedly grabbed Li Chonghe and Chi Jiazhen, fearing that the two might fall into the underground.
Immediately afterwards, the entire desert began to collapse violently, with sand sinking wildly. Even though they were already in mid-air, they could still feel the earth-shattering force and a terrifying atmosphere as if the end of the world was about to come.
Cen Yu piloted the mecha cautiously, watching for any movement in the desert.
It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a sharp chirping sound from insects—
He looked up and saw that the Zerg, which had appeared out of nowhere, had densely packed up above the planet Nott. Although they had obviously not yet experienced a large-scale invasion, the sight alone was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Cen Yu cursed under his breath and immediately sent a warning through the communicator—
"Zerg!!!"
Underground, the thing that caused the cataclysmic upheaval finally appeared.
A few scattered half-human, half-insect monsters crawled out from underground—they had burn marks on their bodies.
These things are less like humanoids and more like a combination of Zerg and humans put in a meat grinder and reassembled.
Whether it's compound eyes, arms, or elytra, they all appear in incomprehensible places.
Clearly, they were all failures of the experiment.
Cen Yu immediately piloted his mecha, trying to evade the attacks of these half-human, half-insect creatures, but the thing that emerged from underground next completely surprised him—
It was a huge black worm.
It looked like the Queen Mushroom he had seen in the simulator before.
After emitting a sharp crack, the insect suddenly swooped down towards Cen Yu's mecha.
Cen Yu's mecha was still too small compared to the insects that almost blotted out the sky. Cen Yu couldn't understand where the insects had been hiding before.
Is there a place in this underground building where such a large insect could be hidden?
But everything happened too fast, far too fast.
The insect grabbed Cen Yu and carried him to a higher place.
...
Just as Wen Xihe, along with the rescue team and instructors, was about to reach the underground space, the instructors received a message that the Zerg were gathering there.
Everything happened in just a few minutes.
No one knows why the Zerg suddenly appeared on Nott, nor does anyone know what that thing that flew out from underground was.
"...King Insect..."
Some of the instructors who knew their stuff were stunned on the spot.
"It's a king insect."
When Wen Xi heard that it was Wang Chong, his first reaction was that the instructors had made a mistake. But when he saw the bright silver mecha that Wang Chong was holding, he instinctively wanted to chase after it!
"Come back! Wen Xihe!"
The instructors immediately shouted!
For an Alpha that hasn't activated its second talent, fighting against the Ohmu is simply a pipe dream. Even for an Alpha that has activated its second talent, the odds are against the Ohmu.
The instructors have begun frantically calling for reinforcements and issuing warnings that the Queen Worm has appeared on Planet Nott.
Huo Shen, who was already aboard the starship, cursed under his breath.
"How did the King Worm end up on Planet Nott?" he immediately asked his adjutant, cursing the corrupt high-ranking officials of the Empire and the Federation who had their own agendas.
"...I don't know." The adjutant was genuinely confused.
He looked at Huo Shen, "That's not the King Insect mentioned in the records..."
The Empire has records of these Zerg Overlords. Most Overlords slumber in their own territories and do not appear on other planets at will.
Judging from its appearance, the King Worm before me is undoubtedly the second noble, the Dark Night King.
According to what they already know, this queen insect last appeared a very, very long time ago, and there are rumors that it has returned to its hive—meaning it is dead.
"It's a new Queen Mushroom..."
The adjutant kept retrieving information obtained from the instructors on Planet Nott.
Huo Shen looked at the enlarged black King Insect on the projection, and then spotted the familiar bright silver mecha.
He zoomed in again and saw that the mecha's mechanical arm seemed to be holding two people.
"...Are there two more people gripping the mechanical arm of that mech?" On the starship, Huo Shen, perhaps because he was extremely angry, was surprisingly calm.
"yes."
"who."
"Three missing students..."
“Cen Yu, Chi Jiazhen,” the adjutant said, looking at Huo Shen’s expression. “And Li Chonghe.”
At the same time, the information of the three missing students suddenly appeared on the projector.
Huo Shen stared at Cen Yu on the projector in silence for a long while. He then zoomed in on Cen Yu's photo, looking at the two familiar beauty marks under his eyes. "Is he Cen Yu?"
Although the adjutant did not understand Huo Shen's meaning, he still answered honestly, "Yes."
"Ha." Huo Shen actually laughed this time; he was so angry he laughed.
"Keep a close watch on the Zerg's movements."
"Rescue these three people."
...
The moment he was captured by the Zerg.
Cen Yu's heart suddenly calmed down inexplicably.
He even calmly inquired with the system—
"Although the timing is a bit off, I guess I've still completed my mission, right?"
According to the plot, he was indeed captured by the Zerg in front of Chi Jiazhen, even though Chi Jiazhen herself was also there... haha.
system:【……】
【Wait a minute, let me see.】
The big fat cat waddled away.
Cen Yu looked at the two people he was holding in his hands, then looked around, wondering if he could find a place to throw them away.
Otherwise, if they follow him and are captured by the Zerg, they will also face certain death.
But after one glance, he immediately dismissed the idea—
They were getting farther and farther away from the ground. Cen Yu hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and handed the two people to the entrance of his cockpit.
"Come in."
He spoke to the two of them using a communicator.
Fortunately, the Twilight Valkyrie is a large mech with a spacious cockpit, which can comfortably fit two more people.
The cockpit opens.
With the mecha owner's permission, Li Chonghe and Chi Jiazhen easily entered the cockpit.
The space, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became crowded after the two adults entered.
Cen Yu sighed as he sat in the cockpit.
"Pray."
"Let's pray it doesn't have such a big appetite and can't eat three in one go."
