Even the most powerful of the five advanced Zerg, who were equivalent to a level nine human enhancer, could not change the course of the battle.
In a war involving such a massive number of people, even the strongest individual has limitations, whether for humans or for the Zerg.
However, these advanced Zerg were rather suicidal, and it wasn't until the fourth day that they finally couldn't sit still any longer, abandoned the mine beneath the frozen lake, and joined in. Several advanced enhanced individuals who had been waiting for them immediately rushed forward, and a battle ensued.
Di Xiu glanced at it and felt that he didn't need to get involved, so he didn't try to snatch the insect head.
One by one, the high-level Zerg died, and the mid-level Zerg could not control the low-level ones, making the situation increasingly chaotic.
On the twentieth day, at dawn, the Zerg began their retreat, only to be annihilated by starships that had been waiting in outer space.
Emperor Xiu's divine sense swept across the entire planet, eliminating the last few that had slipped through the net. He didn't even miss the faint, hibernating aura of three or five creatures beneath the ice.
Perhaps other Zerg will try to take over this planet in the future, but for now, all they can do is deal with this batch.
After the mission was completed, all soldiers were supposed to immediately go to other places to provide support or return to their respective legions. However, the locals thanked them for helping to reclaim their homes and warmly invited them to stay. The frontline command also allowed them to rest in place for a day.
The officer in charge of making the contact specifically asked whether it was a day on the capital planet or a day on the local planet. Upon learning that it was the latter, everyone cheered.
With the battle temporarily suspended, the enhanced individuals who had long been curious about Emperor Xiu's strength rushed over to challenge him. After being beaten down one by one, they looked at him as enthusiastic fans would look at Ling Qiushui.
Unfortunately, there are no testing instruments on this planet, so they still don't know his true strength. They suspect he is level thirteen, but they have no evidence.
Mor became a devoted fan of Di Xiu. After learning that Di Xiu came from the First Legion, he was determined to join him and become his subordinate. Everyone wished him well.
A day on this planet lasts fifty-two hours, equivalent to two days plus four hours on the capital planet. Since arriving here, the soldiers have been killing the insectoids as soon as they open their eyes and even in their dreams. They are finally able to relax and have begun to chisel through the ice and dig out the insectoid corpses underneath.
Most of the time they survive on military nutrition supplements, one dose lasts for half a month, and they also have storage buttons to store things. They have never encountered a situation where they had to eat insects to survive.
Zerg are rarely good-looking; some are so ugly they're almost unappetizing. They crave energy minerals, but while they can tolerate their toxicity, humans might not. Furthermore, they might have ingested other poisonous substances.
But now, after trying the live insect tablets and tasting them, the soldiers and locals can't resist trying other insects.
Nutrient supplements can provide the nutrients and energy needed by the human body, but they cannot provide a feeling of fullness. However, insect meat can, and it has more flavors and is more fragrant.
This is probably the resurgence of suppressed foodie genes.
The weather on this planet is a natural refrigerator. When the Zerg dug them out, they were still fresh. They cut off the heads and tails, processed them, and then fried, boiled, baked, or steamed them.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, but one thing remained constant: they were worried they might eat themselves to death.
Di Xiu also tried them, and they were indeed quite delicious.
001 had little appetite, but seeing everyone eating so happily, she suggested to Di Xiu, "It seems that the Zerg were not on the human diet before. Why don't we take this opportunity to promote them? Otherwise, it's a waste to have so many corpses."
waste……
Di Xiu mentioned this matter to Mo Er, who immediately went to find Wang Hu, and then found a respected elder among the locals. They discussed it for two hours, and when they returned, Di Xiu gave him an OK sign.
“Alright, Brother Chen. Live streaming is all the rage these days. It’s not appropriate for us military personnel to get involved, so we can have the locals do mukbangs. There are so many insect corpses here; it’s enough to develop a planetary food industry.”
"...Do as you please."
"Grandpa William also said that if we come again in the future, he will make us a free insect feast, and he will definitely make a variety of dishes."
Di Xiu had no interest in the insect feast and lay in his sleeping bag to make up for his lack of rest.
Mo'er, oblivious to the situation, asked with great interest, "Brother Chen, are you planning to eat the Zerg if you can't wipe them out completely?"
Emperor Xiu: "..."
001 clapped and cheered: "That's a great idea! As long as it tastes good, humans can be eaten to extinction no matter what it is. Little Xiuxiu, which do you think tastes better, insect meat or the dishes the female lead makes?"
"I've never eaten her cooking."
"I forgot about that. Hmm... they've started their live stream. I'll go help them out. We'll know the results in a couple of days."
However, before the results came out, they had already boarded the starship amidst the reluctant farewells of the locals.
Di Xiu glanced at the message on his personal terminal; the eldest prince was angry because he had come to the front lines without permission.
Although the eldest prince chased after Ling Qiushui everywhere, although he loved beauty more than power, and although he didn't care about his cousin Mark who suddenly appeared, he still needed someone in the capital planet to keep an eye on the situation for him and fight for him.
Di Xiu vaguely felt that he seemed to be treating Shen Yun as his personal subordinate.
Forget it, there's no need to think about what this kind of person is thinking.
Then it was Harriman's turn, who asked him why he left the First Army. He went on and on, scolding him for wandering off while also praising his brave and fearless spirit.
Di Xiu replied with "All is well," and before he could switch to the next message, Harriman replied with "As long as you're alright."
The next message was from Mi Lan, who, whether she considered him a benefactor or a parent, reported his monthly exam results: 133rd in the college.
001 specifically checked how many people were in his college, and found that there were a total of 536 people.
"Pretty good."
Emperor Xiu responded.
His social circle was very limited, and after blocking spam ads, he only had messages from these three people left.
001 rested her chin on her hand and said quietly, "It seems a bit tragic."
...
The starship was halfway through its journey when it suddenly opened fire. At the same time, an internal broadcast sounded, warning of a large number of life forms ahead and ordering all ability users to enter their mechs and prepare for battle.
As a psychic ability user, Di Xiu was equipped with a mecha by the Empire, and he was currently on the starship. Despite his confidence, he had no intention of fighting the Zerg in space with his bare hands, so he immediately went to the mecha section.
The starship and the pursuing Zerg fired countless high-energy missiles before the next order was finally given: all mechs left the ship and went into battle to eliminate the remaining Zerg.
The remaining Zerg are scattered, so using the starship's ammunition would be too wasteful.
More than a hundred mechs flew out of the starship and dispersed under command to clear the area together with another group of people.
