Chapter 112 Chapter 112

The exit channel was blocked, and the spaceship was suddenly in a dilemma. Unable to leave, and unable to land, they were like a kite with a broken string, floating in the sky, but could fall at any time.

Ruan Shiqing said: "We can't waste time like this, otherwise once the spaceship runs out of energy, the Zerg will be able to destroy us without any effort."

The ground is a nest of insects, the main battlefield of the insect tribe, and they must not land. But hovering in the air for a long time is not a good idea either, they must find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

The two looked at each other and almost looked upward at the same time: "Space Station."

The space station is also within the protection range of the shield. As long as they seize command of the space station, they can temporarily close the shield, allowing not only the spaceship to go out, but also the reinforcements that arrive later to come in.

The two of them no longer wasted time. Ruan Shiqing was responsible for comforting the captain and monitoring the data from all parties, while Rong Heng strode to the passenger cabin.

At this time, the passenger cabin was in chaos. The news that the Zerg appeared on Driftwood had spread throughout the spaceship. The timid passengers began to cry in despair, and some of the more irritable ones began to yell at the crew, demanding that the spaceship leave Driftwood immediately.

However, the crew on the spaceship were not aware of the situation at this time. They were no less frightened than the passengers, but they still had to try their best to stay calm and maintain order in the cabin.

"What are you all arguing about?!" Rong Heng's expression darkened when he saw the chaotic scene. He was not too polite to the passengers who were venting their fear: "Now the entire Driftwood Planet has been invaded by the Zerg, external communications have been cut off, the shield has been activated, and all our escape routes have been blocked. Can your quarrels open the shield?"

The man standing at the connection of the cabin was tall, with the brim of his white military hat pressed down, and the shadow blocked most of his face. But when he stood there like a javelin, he still made people subconsciously feel the trust in the soldiers, but at this moment, his face was unfriendly.

The noisy passenger cabin gradually quieted down.

Someone was filled with fear and asked, "What should we do? Can we just wait to die here?"

"Yeah, can't we notify the Imperial Army to rescue us?"

“…”

Someone started to question, and the voices of doubt gradually increased.

Rong Heng raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice: "We have contacted the rescue army, but even if the army rushes here at the fastest speed, it will take more than ten hours." He pointed out the porthole and said: "But those Zerg on the ground will not just wait like us."

Seeing the desperate looks on the faces of the passengers, he changed the subject: "As long as the Imperial Army is here, we will not sit idly by and watch the Zerg harm our compatriots. We are already looking for a way to break out, but the prerequisite is that you all stay put and don't hold us back."

Finally, he made a gesture of wiping his neck and said in a gloomy tone: "In critical moments, the military has absolute priority. If anyone interferes with the operation, don't blame me for being ruthless."

A bowl of dates and a big stick calmed down these frightened and noisy passengers.

After Rong Heng told the crew to proceed with everything as usual, he headed to the viewing area.

When passing through other passenger cabins that were in chaos, he would repeat his previous remarks. Only after the passengers on the spaceship had temporarily calmed down did Rong Heng reunite with the kids.

"How's it going?" Garland asked.

"Not so good." Rong Heng shook his head and said, "There are too many Zergs fighting on the ground. We are not at an advantage. We can only think of a way to capture the space station."

Rong Heng glanced at the cubs and said to Garland, "Ruan Shiqing is in the cockpit assisting the captain. I will lead them to attack the space station. The safety of the spaceship is in your hands."

He knew that the Zerg had not yet launched an attack, not because they were afraid of them, but because these creatures, which had always been considered inferior, had learned to judge the situation and were perhaps waiting to see their next move.

Garland responded solemnly, then looked at the cubs with some concern: "Are they okay?"

"Don't worry, they are already qualified fighters."

Although they are all spoiled and mischievous children in front of their father, when facing danger, they are teammates who can fight side by side.

The cubs transformed into complete human forms and followed Rong Heng and 09 down to the lower cabin.

There were not many offensive weapons on the passenger airship, and they were mainly for defense. Rong Heng walked around the cabin and finally had to use the aircraft that the boys had driven when they returned to Xijin.

This aircraft is fast enough, but its weapons are much reduced, and its attack power is much weaker than that of a fighter.

But this was the only condition available at the moment. Rong Heng could no longer be picky and divided 09 and the cubs into groups, with just two people per aircraft.

He originally didn't want to take Ruan Jiao with him, but the kid was like a sticky piece of taffy, pulling at the corner of his clothes tightly, with stubbornness written all over his big eyes.

Thinking that if the spaceship was attacked by Zerg, Garland would definitely have to go out to protect the spaceship, and Ruan Shiqing could not take care of him in the cockpit, it would be better to keep Ruan Jiao with him instead of leaving him alone in the passenger cabin without anyone to take care of him. So he had to compromise and let him sit in his co-pilot seat.

The cub climbed into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt himself.

The hangar door opened wide, and three aircraft left the spaceship and headed towards the coordinates of the space station.

Ruan Jiao leaned against the window of the aircraft and looked down, his tentacles shaking hesitantly.

For some reason, it had no sense of the Zerg here. When it was on B3024, it could clearly sense the Zerg attacking it, but here, until the spaceship was about to land, it didn't feel anything unusual.

Ruan Jiao felt a little depressed, thinking that he was not vigilant enough.

He closed his eyes and moved his tentacles vigorously, trying to feel the fluctuations in the air.

But after a long time, it did not feel the familiar fluctuations, but instead noticed another strange fluctuation in the air. This fluctuation was very strange, and he could not tell what it was.

Rong Heng took the time to glance at him and saw the cub biting his fingers as if in deep thought, with the whiskers on his forehead drooping.

"Are you scared now?" Rong Hengteng flicked the tentacles on his forehead.

Ruan Jiao's thoughts were interrupted, the tentacles rolled up and loosened in an instant, he glared at him unhappily, leaned towards the cabin door, and continued to think while biting his fingers.

???

Rong Heng gritted his teeth and thought that now was not the time for him to tug at my clothes and beg me to wear it.

These little bastards are very good at changing their expressions when they go out.

The aircraft quickly approached the space station. But before the cubs could be happy, they saw a large number of Zerg swarming out of the space station.

These insects were larger than the ones they had seen on planet B3024, with scarlet compound eyes, dark black carapaces, and curved and sharp legs like sickles.

"Everyone be careful, these insects are different from the previous ones." Rong Heng narrowed his eyes, turned on the communication channel, and at the same time dodged the sharp claws of several insects.

Compared to the overwhelming Zerg, the three aircraft were too small, especially since their firepower was not sufficient. Even if they opened fire at full capacity, it would not have much effect.

Not to mention repelling the Zerg, they could only fly their fighter planes to dodge under the Zerg's sharp claws and were almost unable to engage in a head-on confrontation.

Rong Heng frowned, thinking that it was not a good idea to continue fighting like this.

He answered Ruan Shiqing's call and said briefly: "We need firepower support, otherwise we won't be able to break through the Zerg's defense line."

These Zerg obviously knew that they wanted to enter the space station, so they piled up layer by layer and surrounded the space station tightly.

They were not at an advantage in air combat, and without firepower to clear the way, it would be difficult for them to get close to the space station.

Ruan Shiqing said: "The Zerg on the ground are rapidly approaching the spaceship. I have counted the firepower on the spaceship. It is difficult for them to protect themselves. I am afraid that they cannot provide you with firepower support."

The passenger spacecraft's firepower is too weak.

Rong Heng hissed in toothache and said, "Is there no other way?"

He looked at the dense Zerg in the window. If he really couldn't do it, he would have to fight hard. He and the little dragon cub cleared the way in their complete animal form, allowing 09 to take the opportunity to rush in with the other cubs. As long as they could escape from the aerial battle, the cubs' fighting power would be able to restrain the Zerg in the space station and create an opportunity for Noah to seize control.

"Let me think about it." Ruan Shiqing did not end the call. He quickly called up the spaceship's current supply reserves and checked them carefully one by one to see if there was anything that could be used.

Finally, his eyes fixed on the lifeboats.

"There is a way we can try." Ruan Shiqing spoke quickly and as concisely as possible: "There are a large number of escape pods stored in the spaceship. The energy in the escape pods is sufficient. We can use the escape pods as bombs."

These escape pods are only used in critical moments, have sufficient energy and high defense capabilities. Once an explosion occurs, the power will increase exponentially.

"I will use the robotic arm to drop the life capsule out." Ruan Shiqing emphasized, "You guys do as I say and detonate the life capsule."

He quickly explained the key points of detonating the escape capsule on the public channel.

After Rong Heng and his party were ready, he rushed to the control room in the lower cabin, personally operated the robotic arm, and dropped the life capsule in the direction of Rong Heng.

Robotic arms are generally set up for operations in space and are difficult to operate. After Ruan Shiqing tried twice, he was finally able to accurately operate the robotic arm and drop the escape capsule to Rong Heng's location.

Rong Heng piloted the aircraft and made a beautiful sideways move. He used the tail of the aircraft to slam the already falling escape capsule into the middle of the Zerg: "Aim!"

Before he finished speaking, the little dragon had already fired a shot, hitting the energy module at the rear of the escape capsule.

The fierce artillery fire met the energy capsule, and there was a violent explosion in an instant. The shock wave caused by the explosion spread rapidly, and the force was so great that it actually cut off the surrounding Zerg in half.

"Success!" The kids cheered and said excitedly, "Let's do it again."

So next, Ruan Shiqing kept throwing the life pods, and the three aircraft coordinated with each other, continuously pushing the escape pods to the location where the Zerg were densely packed, and then detonating them.

The bodies of the Zerg were falling like dumplings, and Rong Heng and his group were getting closer and closer to the space station.

Looking at those Zergs who didn't even know how to hide, Rong Heng's eyes flashed with deep thought: These Zergs don't seem to be that smart, which is inconsistent with the situation on Floating Wood Star. I'm afraid... there is someone directing them from behind.

Just as I was hesitating, I heard Ruan Shiqing's surprised voice on the public channel: "The Zerg on the ground have surrounded the spaceship. They are preventing me from launching the escape capsule."

The Zerg even began to attack the mechanical arms that extended outside the spacecraft.

Rong Heng became more certain of his guess after hearing this. He squinted his eyes and looked at the nearby space station. Then he looked at the number of Zergs surrounding the spaceship below, and he had a plan in mind: "You don't have to confront the Zergs head-on. Just sneak past them. Notify Garland and ask him to send out a batch of escape pods."

If his guess was correct, there were not as many Zerg capable of fighting on Driftwood as they had imagined.

I'm afraid they are still in the nest waiting to hatch.
