Chapter 70 Chapter 70 (Updated)

The sky is also filled with insects.

Tens of thousands of insects gathered together to form a huge web that covered the entire sky.

Even though the inner city changed the day-night switching settings of the satellite system due to the insect swarm and maintained the day mode, the excessive number of insects blocked the light and heat emitted by the artificial satellites, and the entire sky was still gloomy.

Rong Hengao unhesitatingly called out the laser cannon on the Rongguang and bombarded it all the way.

Some Zerg were annoyed by the artillery attack and initially chased Rong Guang to attack him, but once Rong Heng had distanced himself from them, they changed direction, turned back, and continued to surround the school.

It seems that the Zerg did not notice that Ruan Jiao had left.

Rongguang successfully broke through the atmosphere of B3024. Rong Heng ejected the egg on the co-pilot seat and called Noah: "Dock the main battleship and open the hangar door."

The cyan battleship docked near the B3024 star slowly raised its hangar door.

"The hangar door is open. You can land at any time." Noah said.

"Activate all weapon systems, fire at full force, and blast forward."

The glory burst out of the B3024 star, and Rong Heng squinted his eyes as he looked at the even larger Zerg army in the dark universe.

The Zerg have low intelligence and naturally cannot develop technology, but the strength of their own shells is comparable to that of battleships. They do not need any auxiliary equipment to travel through the universe.

The reason why the Zerg can be stopped by the defense line of the front region is that they cannot create artificial wormholes for migration. Currently, all the Zerg attacking the front region can only reach the star field near the Galaxy Empire through naturally formed wormholes. In order to prevent the Zerg from passing through the defense line, they have artificially blown up all the natural wormholes that can be searched outside the entire front region, and finally trapped these Zerg outside the defense line.

This number of Zerg troops could not possibly be the Zerg released after a certain defense line was breached, otherwise there would be no movement in the frontline area. It was more likely that they came from a wormhole that led directly to the central area.

But at this time there were too many Zergs, and Rong Heng was unable to find the source. He could only increase Rong Guang's speed to the extreme, using the fierce artillery fire to clear a path, and rushed into the battleship's hangar.

Rongguang landed smoothly, and the hangar door was quickly lowered to block the Zerg trying to break in.

Rong Heng grabbed the egg from the passenger seat, took the elevator to the first floor, and went to the cockpit.

After making sure that the energy and weapons were adequately stockpiled, he patted the motionless egg on the co-pilot's seat and said, "Okay, we can return to normal."

The white eggs rolled twice, and Ruan Jiao inside used his hands to tear open the extremely tough white membrane and slowly poked his head out.

Then came his limbs and body, and his entire body emerged from the white egg. Perhaps because he had rested well in the egg, the drooping tentacles on his forehead stood up again and swayed energetically.

They even picked up the broken white film and threw it into the waste recycling basket.

After doing all this, he obediently sat back in the passenger seat and consciously fastened his seat belt.

Very well behaved.

If I am this well behaved in the future, I won't fight with him for the pillow, but I won't be so annoying either.

Rong Heng sighed and said, "After I start it, you can attract those insects." He looked at the cub puzzledly: "How do you attract those insects?"

Ruan Jiao shook the whiskers on his forehead.

The two black tentacles swayed briskly, and Rong Heng even saw a hint of pride in them.

He snorted and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After saying this, he started the battleship and sped off in the opposite direction of the B3024 star.

At the same time, Ruan Jiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, began to shake his tentacles at a peculiar frequency. Something in the air seemed to have undergone subtle changes, as if invisible ripples were spreading.

Rong Heng was sensitive to the change, glanced at him, and then focused all his attention on the control panel.

Data from the sensor array showed a massive commotion among the Zerg that continued to pour into B3024.

The cub is still wagging its whiskers to send out signals.

A few minutes later, the Zerg army that continued to pour into the B3024 planet suddenly changed direction and flew quickly towards the battleship.

Rong Heng was not in a hurry to increase the distance. He drove the battleship and began to make circular movements around the B3024 star, hanging a large number of Zerg behind him like flying a kite, and occasionally firing a shot at the direction where the Zerg were densely packed.

In less than twenty minutes, most of the Zerg on planet B3024 had already gathered behind the battleship.

"They seem to want to outflank you." Noah is updating the star map in real time based on the data sent back so that Rong Heng can make an accurate prediction.

On the star map centered on the star B3024, some of the Zerg chasing after the battleship were still following closely, while others split off, intending to encircle Rong Heng from the left and right sides.

"These brainless bugs actually know how to use tactics." Rong Heng sneered, "Then let them know what real tactics are."

"Preheat the hyperspace jump device and prepare to launch proton torpedoes. Countdown." Rong Heng deliberately slowed down the pace and pretended not to notice the Zerg's little plan, allowing them to form a circle and surround the entire battleship.

"The hyperspace jump device has been preheated, and the proton torpedo launch timer has begun: ten, nine, eight..." Noah's voice had a brisk ending.

Rong Heng looked at the real-time star map and saw that the Zerg's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. He waved to Ruan Jiao and said, "Come here."

The cub unbuckled his seat belt and walked to his side obediently, then Rong Heng picked him up and placed him on his lap.

Covering his ears with both hands, Rong Heng smiled and said, "You will feel a little dizzy and may even have tinnitus, but these are all normal reactions. Hold me tight and don't move. Do you understand?"

Ruan Jiao buried his face in his arms and nodded with difficulty.

At this time, the Zerg encirclement was less than a hundred meters away from the battleship. Once they all rushed over, even the main battleship, which was famous for its durability, could not withstand the attack of so many Zerg.

"...Four, three, two, one." Noah had already started the final countdown: "Proton torpedo launch successful, hyperspace jump activated."

The moment the Zerg, which were ready to attack, pounced, the huge battleship disappeared on the spot. The Zerg army, which had missed the target, could not stop its momentum and continued to pounce forward due to inertia, and all crashed into one place.

At the same time, the successfully launched proton fish torpedo exploded, and the shock wave of the explosion spread like a water wave, and the Zerg at the center of the explosion was instantly blown to pieces.

At this moment, the battleship has already jumped through hyperspace and instantly appeared at the other end of the B3024 planet.

"Okay." Rong Heng released his hand that was covering the cub's ears, squinted at the star map, and continued to "fly the kite" while letting Noah connect to the inner city control center.

Ruan Shiqing was observing the situation in real time. Even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine how thrilling it was.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the control panel, and his voice was calm: "Hold on for another ten minutes. The shield is already activated."

"Got it. I promise to complete the task." Rong Heng put two fingers together at the end of his eyebrows and made a gesture of silence to Ruan Jiao who was shaking his tentacles excitedly after hearing his father's voice.

Bringing Ruan Jiao here was a complete act of killing first and reporting later. He did not inform Ruan Shiqing in advance that Ruan Jiao was also on the battleship.

With the friendship of fighting side by side, the boy's trust in him increased dramatically. Upon hearing this, he really covered his mouth and looked at him with his big eyes.

Rong Heng cut off the call, clapped his hands over his head, and praised him, "You're so good."

The cub narrowed its eyes happily and its tentacles wiggled briskly.

Rong Heng did the same thing and played two more "disappearances" and blew up a bunch of Zerg. Then he received another message from Ruan Shiqing, along with a coordinate: "The shield is ready and will soon be closed. You must return to land at this coordinate point quickly. After 30 seconds, the shield will be completely closed."

In order to ensure the life of the shield, once it is turned on, it will not be easily turned off. While blocking the Zerg army, it also means that during this period of time, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, no one will be able to enter the B3024 planet.

At least they have to rely on this shield to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

"receive."

Rong Heng ended the "kite flying", shut down all weapons and equipment, turned on the battleship's shield, and then increased the speed. The entire battleship was like a sharp blade, stabbing towards the coordinate point in an unstoppable manner.

All the Zergs along the way were smashed and bounced away by the protective shield, and Noah counted down in a steady voice.

In the last five seconds, the battleship rushed in through the gap in the shield, and at the same time the shield behind it was completely closed, isolating the pursuing Zerg.

However, the battleship was too fast to slow down in a short time. Rong Heng protected the cub in his arms and ordered Noah to initiate the emergency landing procedure.

All energy sources were switched to supplying protective shields, and the huge blue battleship pierced straight into the ground like a sharp blade.

The interior of the battleship was shaking and the alarms were sounding continuously.

Fortunately, the protective shield was thick enough, and the huge impact force gradually subsided after the shock. Rong Heng picked up the cub and left the cockpit, jumping out of the broken gap.

The landing site was close to the Lost Swamp in the west, where the number of Zerg was relatively small. Rong Heng transformed into the Jumil form, threw the cub onto his back, and continued to communicate with Ruan Shiqing: "Safely landed. How long can the shield hold up?"

"Theoretically, at least five days, but once the reinforcements arrive, we must shut down the shield." Ruan Shiqing said as he looked at the constantly refreshing data.

"That's enough. Next is our home court. Let's clean up the Zerg on the ground first." Rong Heng carried Ruan Jiao on his back and ran towards the direction of the cub school.

Once the Zerg's endless supply of troops has been cut off, the Zerg on the ground are no longer a threat.

At this time, the battle in the cub school had lasted for more than four hours.

The triangle defense line formed by Hector and the little dragon, Lansing and the little mermaid never retreated a bit, and the four of them worked together to keep the Zerg army out of the school.

Hector was killing bugs while cursing, "Is Rong Heng trustworthy or not? How long will he keep killing him?"

No matter how powerful a race is, it cannot withstand such an endless war.

He flapped his wings to drive away several insects, and pushed the already panting little dragon cub behind him: "You go and rest for ten minutes, I'll hold you back."

The little dragon was indeed almost exhausted. He did not refuse Hector's kindness. He took two steps forward to leave the battlefield, sat down on the ground and gasped for breath, with the bat wings behind him hanging weakly.

Although they are technically mature, young dragons are still no match for the strong and sturdy adult dragons.

Lansing on the other side glanced at them, and consciously filled the possible gap in the defense line. He said to the little mermaid who was swinging the knife with all her strength: "The knife is just a carrier. You must learn to attach your power to the knife, instead of just using the knife as an attacking weapon."

"Watch what I'm doing." He raised his hands, and countless green liquids gathered around him, forming countless rapidly rotating green ice cones in his palms. Those ice cones were suspended, and as he pushed with his hands, they pierced the compound eyes and head of the Zerg, and then exploded.

"When you are not on your home turf, you have to learn to adapt to local conditions. Theoretically, the mermaids can control any liquid, including blood." As he spoke, he leaped up again, jumped onto the back of a Zerg, and inserted his palms like blades into the Zerg's head. When he pulled them out, countless green ice cones came out of his palms.

He waved his hand again, and the ice cones stabbed towards the several Zerg behind him.

Mermaids are the overlords of the sea, and the land battlefield is not their home turf, but this is no excuse to affect the battle.

A strong person can use everything around him to turn disadvantages into advantages.

The little mermaid's eyes lit up.

He shook his aching wrist and tried to put his strength into the long sword as he said.

The silver blade flashed with a cold light, and when he swung it again, it easily chopped off the attacking Zerg.

Lansing looked critical: "You still have a lot to learn. Keep going."

…

The battle outside is becoming more intense, and the situation inside the school is not optimistic either.

Even if the front line of defense is solid and blocks the main force of the Zerg, it cannot prevent scattered Zerg from taking the opportunity to sneak into the school. These scattered Zerg that sneak in can only be dealt with by the teachers.

There are not many teachers in the school. Including the principal, there are only seven people in total.

Three stayed in the basement to take care of the cubs, and the remaining four were already wounded and exhausted after fighting until now.

Fortunately, just when they could no longer hold on, three teachers who stayed behind rushed out with weapons and said, "We will take over your guard. You go and rest first."

It was unknown how long it would take for the insect tide to recede. It was not a good idea to keep holding on. The injured teacher looked at his colleagues who had come to help and nodded to them: "I'll leave it to you."

The two shifts took turns, and the injured teacher returned to the basement to recuperate while taking care of the cubs.

After four hours, the cubs in the basement have calmed down. They cried and were scared, but encouraged by the little dragon cubs fighting on the front line, they all took up their courage, stopped crying, and stayed in their positions obediently, trying not to bother the teachers.

Seeing the teachers coming back injured, the little lion cub Mile quickly pushed the unused medicine and the bag he had given to Nota to treat his wounds in front of the teachers: "There are medicines and nutritional supplements in here."

These were all found by the little mermaid and Lansing when they went to the infirmary.

"Thank you." Principal Dude rubbed the cub's head and checked Nota's condition with a nutrient in his mouth: "Has Nota woken up?"

"No." The little lion shook his head. After Ruan Jiao left, he took over the job of looking after the little fox.

He touched the little fox's forehead anxiously and said, "And her forehead is so hot."

Upon hearing this, Dude reached out to touch her and discovered that she had a high fever.

But there was nothing in the simple basement to cool the cub. Thinking of the situation outside, Dude held the little fox's hand and sighed, "Hold on a little longer. No one has given up, so don't give up either."

The little lion also followed his example, holding Nota's other hand and said seriously: "You have to be stronger..."

The little lion stopped talking before he finished speaking, and everyone remained in the same position as a second ago, frozen in that instant.

The young man in the cloak showed up in a hurry. When he saw the little fox showing signs of life, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a good thing we made it in time."

He picked up the little fox and placed it on his lap, then took out a tube of red medicine and fed it to her.

At this moment, the entire basement was silent, as if the pause button was pressed halfway through the movie.
