Chapter 72 Chapter 72 (Update 1)

After the satellite's day-night system was adjusted, there is no longer night on B3024.

Everyone took turns to rest and fought the Zerg day and night.

In the fifth hour of the Zerg invasion, humans launched a counterattack;

In the tenth hour of the Zerg invasion, most of the outer city residents were rescued, and those who were rescued and had spare energy voluntarily participated in this defense war;

In the eighteenth hour of the Zerg invasion, the inner city's defense shield was completely breached and could not be repaired in a short period of time. Everyone began to move to the outer city's arsenal. Only Ruan Shiqing led a team of people to defend the satellite control center. The remaining lucky people in the inner city also participated in the defense battle, either actively or passively.

The war with the Zerg was extremely difficult, but the production workshop of the arsenal never stopped. In addition, the weapons reserves that had not been sent away before greatly reduced the casualty rate despite the difficulties in advancing the front line.

Except for the cub school which is still under fierce attack by the Zerg, the density of Zerg in other areas has been greatly reduced.

After two consecutive days and nights of fighting, Ruan Shiqing, who was guarding the control center, finally received a communication request from Dares.

The young colonel was dressed neatly in military uniform. He put away his frightened expression, put his fingers together at the end of his eyebrows, and saluted him: "Thank you for your hard work. The reinforcements have arrived. Please allow us to enter planet B3024."

The solemn atmosphere in the control center suddenly burst into cheers, and Ruan Shiqing's tense nerves finally relaxed: "Got it, we will open the shield in one hour."

After the call ended, Ruan Shiqing announced the news to the whole city.

The reinforcements have arrived, and B3024 is finally no longer fighting alone. This also means that the Zerg that were isolated on the periphery will once again flood in in large numbers.

Before opening the shield, they must be deployed.

During this hour, everyone returned to the Arsenal to rest, replenish their strength, treat their injuries, and count the number of weapons, medicines, energy supplements, and other reserve supplies.

And most importantly, they had to turn on the shield launcher that they had painstakingly set up over the past two days.

——The Shield Launcher is a simplified version of the Repair Shop's defense system. It is easy to make and can be carried with you. By arranging several Shield Launchers in an array, you can create a temporary shield to temporarily resist the Zerg's attack.

This was Ruan Shiqing's special preparation for the situation where the Zerg would flood in again after the shield was opened.

After everything was ready, Ruan Shiqing calmly closed the protective shield covering the outside of the B3024 planet.

The huge protective shield slowly disappeared, and the Zerg that had been attacking the shield suddenly flew into the air. After reacting, they rushed towards the B3024 star like a tide.

At this time, several huge warships formed a formation, blocked the front of the Zerg, and began to bombard. At the same time, hundreds of destroyers carrying elite soldiers from the front entered the atmosphere of B3024 star, preparing to land.

In mid-air, the influx of Zerg and the destroyer encountered each other and a fight broke out.

Well-trained destroyers skillfully deployed their forces, surrounded large groups of Zerg, and then bombarded them with heavy artillery fire.

Countless charred insect corpses fell down, and the exploding cannon fodder swept everything away. It was a baptism of blood and fire.

The people who were repairing at the arsenal looked up at the sky and cheered excitedly.

In the cub school, the giant beasts of the ancient race raised their heads and roared excitedly.

Rong Heng, Hector, Lansing, and three cubs who were on the battlefield for the first time, took turns to rest and managed to defend the school and protect the dozens of cubs in the basement.

The moment he saw the reinforcements, Hector couldn't help but let out an excited dragon roar and shouted to Rong Heng: "Hurry up and get someone to replace us!"

Although it's embarrassing to say it, he is really tired and hungry. He is tired and hungry after sleeping for three days and eating a ton of food at a time.

Rong Heng sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

After the reinforcements arrived on the ground one after another, they immediately launched a counterattack in an orderly manner.

Dares led his men to the arsenal and met Mori.

Mellor, who came with him, looked at Mori in surprise, then looked at the intact arsenal, and said with emotion: "To be honest, when I was on the way here, I was already prepared to collect your bodies."

Just a few days ago, when the Crown Prince reported that Zerg had appeared on B3024, and asked Dares to bring an elite troop to station there just in case, none of them had ever thought that the Central Region would really encounter a Zerg tide. Even Meleer came along because she was too curious about Master Ruan and the completed arsenal. She beat up Shaw and Jasper before she was qualified to go with them.

When she set out from Yengeis, she even brought her own collection of fine wine, preparing to have a drink after arriving at planet B3024 after a long separation.

As a result, when they were halfway there, they received a message from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asking for help.

She will never forget the screen full of insects during the video call. Such a large scale of insect swarms is not often seen even on the front line.

Dares said that B3024 was a very backward garbage planet, and it was almost vulnerable to the terrifying insect tide.

Although no one said it out loud, everyone looked very solemn during the two days of the journey.

But now it seems that the results are much better than they imagined.

Merel put his arm around Morrie's shoulders, taking advantage of his height, and patted him on the shoulder. "It feels good to see you're all still alive."

"..." Mori pulled her arm away speechlessly. He didn't really want to stand next to Colonel Merrill, who was nearly two meters tall. This was too much of a challenge to his self-esteem.

"Why aren't Master Ruan and His Highness here?" Dares looked around but didn't look at anyone: "Is Hector not here either?"

Speaking of this, Mori's expression also became serious: "Master Ruan is in the satellite control center in the inner city, and your highness and Brigadier General Hector are trapped in the cub school. Those insects attacked the school like crazy, and the reason has not been found yet."

"Then let's go meet them." Mellaire carried two laser cannon barrels in one hand. A black leather belt was wrapped around his thin waist exposed under his leather jacket, and the belt was hung with long and short, large and small knives.

Dares high-fived her, then turned to Mori and said, "You can rest assured. We will take care of the rest."

Dareth and Melel requisitioned three second-generation armored walkers and led an elite team to attack the Cub School.

Compared with the residents of B3024 who were less familiar with the business, they were obviously much more efficient in killing the Zerg. They swept along and soon opened a gap.

Hector vaguely saw their figures and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Meleil blew off the heads of three Zergs with one shot. Seeing the black dragon covered with Zerg blood, he couldn't help but retreat tactically: "Brigadier General Hector, it's been a long time since we last met. Just think about it, I attended your memorial service on the holographic network a few months ago."

Damn it! It turns out that none of Rong Heng's people are good.

Hector simply gave up and flapped his bat wings, sending a large number of Zerg to Meller. He then held the little dragon in his mouth and withdrew from the battle.

Mellor held the cannon barrel in his left hand and fired a shot from time to time, and in his right hand he held a retro Damascus knife with a blade one meter long, and chopped off the head of the Zerg cleanly.

Her knife skills were swift and sharp. The heavy knife was as easy as cutting tofu in her hand.

"Brigadier General Hector is as ungentlemanly as ever." Mellaire shook the blood off the knife and muttered loudly, "Isn't that why he has been single for over a hundred years?"

She had thought about sleeping with the well-dressed Hector at first, but after being in close contact with him for half an hour, she lost interest in him and put him on her dating blacklist.

“…”

Hector's mouth twitched, very unconvinced.

Wasn't it at a military banquet one year when Meryl asked him what he thought of her makeup that day, and he bluntly said, "I almost didn't recognize it was you"?

Is it necessary to hold a grudge so much?

What a petty person.

And how could he have been single for over a hundred years?! He obviously had a partner, they just had a fight and they haven't reconciled yet!

The more Hector thought about it, the more he felt unconvinced. He pointed at the little dragon cub sitting next to him and said proudly, "Colonel Mellaire, let me introduce him to you. This is my son Herri. He looks like me, right?"

?????

The knife in Melaire's hand slipped, and he turned his head in disbelief, "You gave birth to this child yourself? You dragons have evolved so fast that even males can lay eggs?"

Hector: “……???”

Damn it, I won’t bother with idiots.
