That's why what Luo Pu saw at first glance was a thick, flowing blackness; it was because everywhere he looked were black insect eggs drifting in the wind.
Jin Shu ignored the young insectoids and instead did something that even Luo Pu found unbelievable.
She actually piloted the mecha directly into the insect queen's eye. Just when Luo Pu thought a bloody scene was about to unfold, the mecha unexpectedly passed through the insect queen's eye as if through a curtain of water. After a brief darkness, a huge, drooping brain appeared before her eyes.
At that moment, the mental power that had been tightly controlling his hands and feet suddenly disappeared. Luo Pu took a deep breath and quickly looked up at Jin Shu in the main cockpit.
"What are you doing?"
Jin Shu piloted the mecha around the giant brain for a moment, then unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the hatch, stepping out of the cockpit under Luo Pu's incredulous gaze.
"you……"
"Don't follow, the gravity outside will crush you into a meat patty."
The gravity inside the insect burrow is several thousand times that of Little Blue Star. Any expert who is not at least SSS level will be crushed into a pulp by the weight of several thousand kilograms outside as soon as they step out of the mech's protective pod.
Luo Pu watched helplessly as she walked out, wanting to follow but unable to do so.
What exactly is she trying to do?
Without the protection of the mechs, the massive insect queen could easily crush her.
Jin Shu, however, showed no fear. She took out a super electromagnetic cannon gun from the attribute box, then floated to the front of the insect queen's brain with one hand holding the gun.
Beside her was the eye connected to the brain. Through mental perception, the Insect Queen clearly knew what Jin Shu was doing to her at that moment.
However, she was too large, and without the protection of the Zerg warriors, her self-preservation mental energy was useless against the Golden Beauty before her. When the fragile central nervous system was pressed against the Golden Beauty's gun, the Zerg Queen let out a desperate wail.
Luo Pu became increasingly nervous.
Instead of cleanly and efficiently eliminating the insect queen, Jin Shu directly entered the insect queen's brain. If she chose to self-destruct at this point, even the modified Galaxy would be reduced to dust along with the insect queen.
He stared intently at Jin Shu.
Then I watched as she placed her hand on the mother insect's brain and closed her eyes.
Just as Luo Pu was on tenterhooks, preparing to charge forward in his mecha at any moment, Jin Shu suddenly turned around, floated back, sat in the cockpit, closed the door, started the mecha, and turned to leave.
Luo Pu looked at her, full of questions.
"What...what are you doing?"
"Looking for something."
"Then what did you mean just now?"
“Talk to her, ask her about some things, and in exchange, I won’t kill her.”
Don't kill her?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to throwing away a first-class military merit that you've already earned?
That's not the main point, after all, in Luo Pu's view, Jin Shu always has her own reasons for whatever she does.
But what could be more important than a first-class military merit that could change one's destiny?
Luo Pu didn't ask any more questions, because Jin Shu had already changed direction and flown towards another insect burrow.
The Zerg planets are covered with forests on the surface, with diverse terrains, and underground they are even more interconnected and complex, with routes so intricate that the Alliance has yet to figure out the patterns of their layout.
But at this moment, Jin Shu seemed to be guided by something, and drove in a certain direction with a clear purpose.
Finally, she stopped in front of a black hole that was only big enough for one mech to pass through. The hole stretched out into the vastness, with no end in sight amidst the chaos.
After turning on the searchlight, Jin Shu drove into the black hole. For a moment, time and space seemed to freeze. Within the range of the searchlight, many messy things floated in the murky darkness.
This was the first time Luo Pu had ever seen such a sight. It was as if he had stumbled into an underwater world, where everything was floating quietly.
There were the wreckage of mechs, the corpses of soldiers, the banners of the Alliance, and many other unknown floating objects.
The Galaxy cruised slowly through the boundless, silent expanse, as if forgotten by time, trapped in a long, eternal, still space.
As Luo Pu was immersed in what he was seeing, Jin Shu stepped out of the hatch again, into the light of the searchlight, and then, stepping on the floating objects, slowly walked to a black box.
Jin Shu lowered her head and looked at the black box that had been floating here for more than ten years. She reached out and wiped away the mottled dust on it, and saw the words engraved on the box.
Jiaolong (蛟龙).
The original owner's mecha, the Jiaolong.
After being taken by the Zerg, the useful parts were dismantled and analyzed, while this black box, which was useless to them, was simply left here.
——
On the way back, Luopu couldn't help himself.
"This hole isn't marked on our map, how did you find it?"
"The entire insect cave is part of the insect mother. The opening we just saw was the insect mother's stomach, and it only opens under her control."
No wonder.
Besides that, there was something else that intrigued Luo Pu even more.
But he subconsciously dared not ask any more questions, because this should be her secret.
He didn't need to ask; Jin Shu told him on her own initiative.
"This black box is the one I left here."
"Have you been here before?"
"Yes, fifteen years ago, during the graduation practical training exercise at the Alliance Military Academy, I piloted my Jiaolong submersible here."
Later, the Jiaolong submersible inexplicably suffered a malfunction in both wings, communication failed, and the self-destruct button malfunctioned. I was captured by the Zerg, and the Jiaolong was stolen.
Jin Shu said it casually.
A silent storm raged in Luo Pu's heart.
He had heard about this from his comrades when he first joined the legion.
Moreover, this story has been told by different people more than once.
Jin Shu, the daughter of Jin Yao, the former commander of the 11th Regiment, was once a prodigy and an elite student. However, before being captured in the graduation practical battle, she was captured by the Zerg because she was afraid of death and did not press the self-destruct button. This led to the leakage of the Alliance's military secrets.
Therefore, the name Jin Shu became synonymous with shame.
So many years have passed, yet it has not been forgotten.
Lop knew she wasn't Frant Peya, and he knew she had a secret code, but he never guessed that the elite warrior in front of him, who was so strict with himself, was actually Jin Shu, who had a "fear of death" and a "negative image" back then.
After a long silence, Luo Pu found it hard to connect the two people, so he chose to believe the resilient and perfect Pei Ya without hesitation.
"You were framed. This black box contains evidence proving your innocence, right?"
Jin Shu glanced down at her, then smiled softly.
"Yes, I've come all the way from the little blue planet to here, all for one thing."
I want my innocence proven, I want revenge. (End of Chapter)
