Chapter 113 Chapter 113
After receiving Ruan Shiqing's message, Garland went directly to the bottom cabin.
Some passengers saw Rong Heng and his group talking to him, and when they saw him leaving alone, they thought he was going to escape, so some of them were smart and quietly followed him.
Garland pretended not to notice and let them follow him, and went directly to the bottom cabin to get the lifeboat.
A batch of life capsules had been used before, and there were only twenty or thirty left in stock. Garland took a quick look and asked Ruan Shiqing to open the hatch. He then gave instructions to the service robot, asking it to drop the life capsules out after he went out.
The door of the lower cabin opened wide, Garland loosened his collar and jumped down.
After leaving the spaceship, he quickly switched to a full dragon form in mid-air, spreading his red wings and sweeping away the Zerg that were constantly attacking the spaceship's shield.
The passengers who had quietly followed him thought he had found a way to escape, so they rushed to the cabin door, leaned on the edge and looked out, only to be met with a pair of cold dragon eyes.
"If you don't want to die now, go back up there."
Garland deliberately turned his body to the side to allow them to see the Zerg outside clearly.
Behind the huge red dragon, there were layers of Zergs, waving their ferocious legs, trying to break through the red dragon's defenses and get to the cabin door. Garland even deliberately relaxed his guard, letting a Zerg get closer. The scarlet compound eyes and sharp mouthparts scared several passengers so much that they fell to the ground, supported their bodies with their hands, and rushed to the elevator without looking back.
Garland snorted, then flapped his bat wings, waved away the troublesome Zerg, and asked the robot to pack up the escape pod and throw it down.
The robot moved quickly, dropping a string of escape pods through the cabin door.
Garland stretched out his claws to catch it, and suddenly flapped his wings. After a nimble flip, he spewed scorching dragon flames at the surrounding Zerg. Some Zerg were temporarily forced back by the dragon flames, and the Zerg defense line that surrounded the spaceship suddenly had a gap. Ruan Shiqing, who was cooperating with Garland, made a quick decision to let the captain speed up and rushed out from the gap.
The spaceship rushed out of the encirclement at full speed, dragging a large number of Zerg behind it.
Seeing this, Garland turned around and rushed towards the space station.
At this time, the three aircraft were struggling to rush left and right in the dense Zerg, trying to break through the defense line and land on the space station. With Ruan Shiqing's previous support, they had already gotten infinitely close to the space station, but once the firepower from the rear support was cut off, the endless Zerg surged up again, gradually blocking the gap.
Seeing that the gap that was finally blasted out was about to be sealed again, Rong Heng gritted his teeth, threw Ruan Jiao on his back, simply abandoned the aircraft, and transformed directly into the complete form of Jumir.
He raised his head and roared, then solemnly warned the cub on his back: "Hold on tight."
After saying that, he stepped on the dense swarm of Zerg and killed them.
Jumir has no ability to fly, but his speed is extremely fast, like the wind. He just steps on the bodies of the Zerg to gain leverage and relies on brute force to rush towards the space station.
Seeing this, the other two aircraft immediately followed him.
When Garland rushed over, he saw the huge Jumir charging left and right among the Zerg, with a cub vaguely lying on its back and two fighter planes following behind it. It was one to three and had a very difficult time moving forward.
He couldn't help laughing, and shouted again: "Get out of the way!"
Rong Heng turned around and saw a giant red dragon rushing towards him with a bunch of escape pods in its front claws. He immediately jumped sideways to give up the center position, then shrank his body, turned his head and held Ruan Jiao in his mouth. After a few jumps using the momentum of the dragon, he narrowly landed on the broad back of the red dragon.
At the same time, the aircraft driven by the cubs also changed direction, distanced themselves, and did not forget to fire at the string of escape pods thrown out.
Seeing that all his men had escaped from the center of the explosion, Garland spat out dragon fire without hesitation.
The escape pods connected in series exploded one after another under the high temperature. The reaction of the chain explosion was much more powerful than a single explosion. The shock wave swept the broken Zerg limbs and spread in all directions. Seeing this, Garland folded his wings and protected the two aircraft under his bat wings.
After the most violent explosion, the Zerg's defense line had collapsed.
The Zerg that were blown to pieces were trying to rebuild their defenses, but Rong Heng would not give them a chance. The two aircraft rushed to the space station first, and Rong Heng, holding the cub in his mouth, jumped and moved on the scattered Zerg, and rushed to the space station closely behind.
Garland shook off the ashes on his bat wings. Seeing that they had already entered the space station, he did not linger any longer. He spread his bat wings again and chased after the spaceship - he had to deal with the Zerg chasing the spaceship.
The aircraft landed on the space station, and the cubs took out their weapons and headed towards the interior of the space station. The little dragon cub and the little fox led the way, and the little mermaid and 09 followed behind.
But it seemed that all the Zerg in the space station had gone outside to intercept them, so when they went deeper and closer to the main control room, they didn't encounter any Zerg at all.
The little mermaid observed the traces around her and whispered, "A battle must have taken place here. The Zerg won and even cleaned up the battlefield."
There were traces of dried blood on the ground, but no bodies were found; some of the equipment in the space station was damaged, but most of it was still functioning.
[Be careful.] The little mermaid looked around and felt that the space station was strangely quiet.
09 turned on the infrared scan, his head kept turning, and said, "There are two humans and three Zerg in the main control room."
The four approached the main control room cautiously.
The little dragon stood in a blind spot of surveillance and rang the doorbell. The other three found places to hide, ready to rush in at any time.
The doorbell rang three times in succession before the door of the control room slowly opened. A thin man walked out. He was wearing a white coat and a pair of black-framed glasses. He was hunched over and his voice was trembling: "Who?" When he saw the little dragon cub standing on the side, his expression was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, the little dragon cub quickly made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
The man finally suppressed his exclamation and nodded his head slightly at him in fear.
The little dragon smiled at him soothingly, then suddenly reached out and pulled him out, rushed in first, and shot a Zerg in the head.
——Just like what Snowball said, these Zergs are really smart. At this time, two Zergs were lying in ambush behind the door, waiting for an opportunity to attack. However, the little dragon cubs were faster, and before they could react, they were shot in the head by the cubs that rushed in.
The bodies of the three insects fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Another female hostage, huddled in a corner of the main control room, held her head in fear and screamed.
The cubs were not very good at comforting frightened humans. Finally, 09 stepped forward and said in a gentle voice, "This lady is no longer in danger. Don't be afraid. We are not bad people."
He repeated this sentence three times before the screams of terror stopped.
The woman holding her head raised her face carefully, looked at 09 and the cub behind him, and trembled and said, "Who are you? Are you reinforcements from the Empire?"
09 didn’t know how to answer her, so he turned around and looked at the cubs.
They were not imperial reinforcements; they just happened to be passing by.
The little dragon rolled his eyes and puffed out his chest and said, "We are not from the Imperial Army. Does the Eastern Alliance know that? We are righteous people who rob the rich and give to the poor! Of course, we are also very professional at killing insects. We have almost killed all the insects outside."
The cubs looked proud.
The woman looked at them and forced a smile.
"It would have been better if you had come earlier." Her eyes were red, and she turned away and said in a sullen voice, "There are only two of us left on Driftwood Star."
The thin man who came in happened to hear his words and his eyes also turned red.
He kicked the corpses of the Zerg as if to vent his anger, and only sat on the ground when he was exhausted, holding his head and crying suppressedly.
The kids looked sad, but I didn't know how to comfort them.
The destruction of an entire planet cannot be soothed by just a few words of comfort.
"We will avenge everyone." Finally, only the little fox said this dryly, and then he and the little dragon concentrated on dragging the corpses of the insects out of the control room.
The little mermaid and 09 did not dare to waste time and approached the main control panel. 09 inserted the data interface into the central computer and input Noah's wake-up command as Rong Heng said, allowing Noah to prepare to take over the main control system.
The two staff members' cries gradually subsided. Looking at their actions, they asked with a sullen look, "What's going on outside now?"
[The Zerg have invaded the Driftwood Planet, and the ground has completely turned into a nest of Zerg. Communications have also been completely cut off. The spaceship we took passed through Driftwood Planet, and after noticing the abnormality, we wanted to evacuate, but we were unable to leave because the shield was activated.] The little mermaid answered Ruan Shiqing's questions while connecting to their communications.
[We must now close the shield and let the spaceship leave. We will then contact the Imperial Army for rescue. The ground under the Driftwood Planet is now full of unhatched insect eggs, which must be dealt with as soon as possible.]
"The Zerg forced us to open the shield." The woman's lips trembled, as if she was recalling something extremely terrifying: "They, they are intelligent. After the incident on Driftwood, we were imprisoned here by them, pretending that the space station was still working normally."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red again and she bit her lips hard, as if she was in great pain.
[It’s not your fault.] The little mermaid sighed and tried to find words to soothe her emotions.
Seeing that Noah had already begun to take over the control system, he suggested: "We will be able to take over the space station soon, do you want to take a rest first?"
The two shook their heads and sat side by side against the wall: "We want to watch from here."
The little mermaid did not insist and let them stay while she explained the situation of the space station to Ruan Shiqing.
Ruan Shiqing had taken over the control systems of B3024 and Barham before, so he was very familiar with this. He said, "There's no rush to take over. Just follow my instructions and restore the communication first, then close the shield. Since there are surviving staff, they should know the password, so just ask them for help."
The two staff members also heard the content of the communication. Without waiting for the little mermaid to speak, they quickly stood up, helped restore the communication, and closed the protective shield.
Once the shield was opened, the spaceship's crisis was resolved. When the kids heard Ruan Shiqing say that the spaceship was ready to leave Driftwood, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
[What about the insect nest on the ground?] The little mermaid was worried.
It's not good to just leave so many eggs unattended.
"It blew up directly." Rong Heng, who came a step later, answered. He had already gone around the entire space station, cleared out the Zerg wandering inside, and also found the weapons storage warehouse.
"There is an energy base on Driftwood. If it explodes completely, the insect nest will definitely not be saved."
As he spoke, Ruan Jiao, who was held under his armpit, thrashed in dissatisfaction and fell to the ground.
He first carefully straightened his messed up clothes, then turned his head to look around, and finally his curious eyes fell on the two staff members.
The tentacles were swaying, and Ruan Jiao's eyes were filled with confusion. He seemed to have caught another strange fluctuation.
