Chapter 76 Chapter 76 (Updated)
Using the Zerg as bait, Hector and Melaire successfully defeated the forces of the Barham Space Station.
All six fighters were parked in the hangar of the battleship, and the pilots were locked in the warehouse as usual. When the two waves of captured pilots met, one of them looked dejected, and felt that the hope of being rescued was increasingly slim; the other was full of anger - these interstellar pirates were really insidious and cunning!
The person in charge of the space station had not received any response from the fighter plane and was hesitating whether to request ground support when the fighter plane that had been out of contact for a long time finally restored its signal.
"What's the situation?" The person in charge rushed to the control desk.
The communication channel was filled with the sound of electricity, so that the voices became fragmented and unclear. He asked the other party to repeat several times before he could hear some of the content clearly: "There are too many Zergs", "We are no match for them", and "Someone is seriously injured and needs immediate treatment."
The person in charge became more and more frightened as he listened, and he hurriedly ordered someone to open the passage to the space station and went to check the situation in person.
The hatch slowly opened and three fighter planes slowly drove in.
"What's going on?" The person in charge strode forward and asked without waiting for the fighter's shield to completely drop.
"The thing is... you fell into a trap." The protective shield was completely lowered, and Hector, wearing a Dragon King mask and holding a blaster, pressed it against the person in charge's forehead.
The shields of the other two fighter planes dropped, and four soldiers jumped out of each.
"Cut off their communications." Hector ordered, pointing his gun at the head of the person in charge, and raised his chin to the others who came over: "Hand over your weapons, put your hands on your head and squat over there."
The person in charge fell into the hands of the enemy. Seeing this, the other people in the space station had no choice but to give up resistance and squat by the wall as required.
Several other soldiers searched the space station with guns, and after making sure that no one was hiding, they took out titanium handcuffs and handcuffed all the prisoners together.
"Okay, the interior of the space station has been cleared, you can come over."
Hector turned on the communication and informed Rong Heng and Mellor.
The cyan battleship received the signal and slowly connected with the space station.
Rong Heng put on a pure white smiley mask and raised his hand to signal the little mermaid to follow him: "Let's go."
Ruan Jiao, sitting on his own little chair, looked at them eagerly, with the whiskers on his forehead drooping.
As if he had realized that insisting was useless, he no longer asked them to take him with them, but just hugged the snail mask in his arms even tighter.
Sitting alone in the corner without saying a word, he looked like a damp and gloomy little mushroom, so pitiful.
The little mermaid couldn't help but look back at him frequently, but thinking that he was too young and it was not safe to follow him, she had to harden her heart and not look back.
When Rong Heng reached the door of the operations room, he turned around to look at Ruan Jiao, impatiently lifted his mask, and turned around to urge him: "If you don't catch up, I won't take you with me."
!!!!!!!
The damp and gloomy little mushroom suddenly raised its head, its red eyes slightly widened, and stared at him blankly.
"Hurry up." Rong Heng said impatiently.
The cub reacted immediately and jumped down from the small chair, trotting towards him excitedly, with its whiskers on its forehead wagging energetically.
Rong Heng sneered, picked him up, and let him sit on his left arm. He warned him sternly: "Follow me obediently and don't move. Do you understand?"
The cub smiled brightly, nodded heavily, and then put the mask on his face seriously.
Snail Mask has two horns on its forehead, just like the Cub.
The little mermaid looked at him sideways, smiled, and touched his tentacles, which were wagging with joy, with her fingertips.
Rong Heng and the little mermaid passed through the bridge and entered the space station.
At this time, the little dragon and the little fox had already followed Hector and Mellor into the control room. When they saw Ruan Jiao sitting on Rong Heng's arm, they gathered around him.
Ruan Jiao was originally still angry at them for abandoning him, but after being teased a few times, he couldn't help laughing and high-fived the kids affectionately.
Rong Heng put Ruan Jiao down and walked with the little mermaid to the control panel, where the communication system was placed. It was the hub for the entire space station to connect with the ground on the planet Balem.
"If you were asked to take command, what would you do next?" Rong Heng did not take action immediately, but asked the little mermaid a question first.
The little mermaid frowned in thought.
When they were on the main battleship, Rong Heng had already told him the general situation of the planet Balem.
Balem is a resource planet developed by the Nashi Group. It is rich in mineral resources and has been under development for nearly fifty years. There are no residents on the planet, only long-term development engineering teams and various factories. In order to ensure the safety of the resource planet, Balem is not only stationed by the Nashi Group's private mercenary army, but also has a planet-level defense system and weapon system, which can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But it is precisely because of this that there are not many people stationed on Balham. In order to improve efficiency and maximize profits, Balham has completed a highly mechanized transformation, with most worker positions replaced by robots and only a small number of management positions being held by humans.
Therefore, it was very easy for them to capture the ground, that is, to seize the ground control center of Balham. As long as they took control of the control center, the entire Balham would fall into their pocket.
[We can ask for help from the ground in the name of the space station.] The little mermaid typed carefully: [The person in charge should have emergency authority. We can let him take us into the Balem planet. Once inside, we can break into it in one fell swoop and seize control.]
After giving the answer, he looked at Rong Heng anxiously, waiting for his response.
"It's not in vain that I read the book." Rong Heng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "But..."
He deliberately dragged out his words, and when he saw the little mermaid's eyes widen nervously, he continued, "We can also make the plan more perfect and more realistic."
After saying this, he ordered the soldiers who stayed outside the space station to let in the small group of insects wandering outside.
These Zerg had been dragged along the way and driven away repeatedly, and had already fallen into a state of rage. As soon as they entered the space station, they began to attack violently.
Rong Heng observed the Zerg's movements through the surveillance camera until the alarm sounded in the space station, then he gave the order: "Kill them."
The little dragon and the little fox took up their weapons and rushed out first.
Then the soldiers received the order and began to move.
There was no need for Hector and Melaire to take action against this small number of Zerg, so they all stayed in the control room and watched the battle.
Melaire looked at the screen and saw a little fox from the insect tribe being killed swiftly. He said with a sigh, "She is indeed a good candidate. Compared to those effeminate nine-tailed fox tribe members, she is much tougher."
She is an evolved person who has always advocated the use of force to subdue others.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is the most extreme of the four noble clans. Most of the time, they will not engage in direct confrontation with the enemy, but will use illusions to set traps one after another.
Because of their natural beauty and charm, they even like to use lower-level mixed-races for marriage.
They are the race that cares most about the purity of their bloodline, yet they have to rely on the inferior mixed-bloods that they look down upon to marry into other races.
That's why she always looked down on the nine-tailed fox clan. Those so-called pure-blooded nine-tailed foxes are not as courageous as this hybrid.
"I'll go teach her." After watching for a while, Meryl couldn't help itching, so he picked up the knife and went to find the little fox.
Because the space in the space station is limited, the cubs can only fight in human form. After all, the human form is not as strong as the animal form. The cubs who have not received systematic professional training are less efficient in killing Zerg.
"Watch what I do." Melaire found the little fox, blocked the Zerg behind her, and pulled out a steel knife without any patterns from his waist.
The steel knife was only about a foot long, and its silver blade was thin and sharp.
"When you face an enemy, you must not only understand its attack patterns, but also its structure and its weaknesses." Mellaire spun the steel knife in his hand, bent his knees and jumped up, using his toes to push against the insect's limbs, and jumped onto its back.
Holding the thick tentacles on the insect's forehead with one hand to stabilize its body, she continued to explain: "Compared to the two or three meter tall body covered with a hard shell, the insect's head is smaller and more fragile."
As she spoke, she raised her right hand, held the blade upright, and quickly slashed across the insect's neck.
"Especially the connection between the head and the body." Before she finished speaking, she had already lifted the insect's head with one hand and gestured to the little fox who was staring at it intently.
Green liquid spurted out, and the insect body fell to the ground.
Merel jumped down and handed the steel knife to the little fox: "Do you want to try it yourself?"
The little fox took the steel knife without hesitation, narrowed its narrow silver eyes, and followed her example, jumping onto the back of the insect...
The cleanup battle lasted twenty minutes.
The entire space station was in a mess, with damaged instruments and dead Zerg corpses everywhere.
Rong Heng deliberately left a few living Zergs behind, then brought the person in charge to the communicator and aimed the laser gun at his back: "Repeat what I just said. If there is anything wrong, I can't control my gun."
"The lives of everyone standing in this space are in your hands."
He deliberately changed his voice, his tone became low and suppressed, and coupled with the pure white smiling mask, he seemed even more eerie.
The person in charge's active mind was gradually suppressed when he saw the images coming from the other person's brain.
He may not care about his own life, but there are so many people in the space station...
The person in charge gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure you will let us go if I do what you say?"
Rong Heng sneered: "If I wanted to kill people, they would have died long ago and would not have stayed until now."
He was right. Interstellar pirates were always brutal and never took prisoners. The fact that they were keeping the prisoners meant that they had no intention of killing anyone from the beginning.
The person in charge adjusted his expression, smeared the green blood on his face and body, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Uncuff me, I will cooperate with you."
They were just hired to do the job, there was no need for them to fight against the vicious and evil interstellar pirates.
Rong Heng uncuffed him.
The person in charge swiped his ID card, activated the highest-level emergency communication, and frantically asked for help from the ground.
Rong Heng and the others hid in the blind spot of the communication camera, always on guard against his betrayal. If he showed any intention of betrayal, they would immediately cut off the communication.
But the person in charge obviously did not intend to be loyal to the Naxi Group. He performed his task with excellent acting skills and successfully convinced the ground control center to agree to let them take refuge through the emergency passage. At the same time, he also sent a team of elite mercenaries to the space station to clean up the Zerg.
The mess in the space station, the corpses of Zerg, and the emotional breakdown of the person in charge made the people in the ground control center have no doubts about the person in charge's words.
Ten minutes later, the emergency exit was opened.
"We still need you to accompany us for a while." Rong Heng pointed the gun at him.
"What about the others...?" The person in charge looked nervous, fearing that he might go back on his word.
"Don't worry, I never break my promise." Rong Heng pointed a gun at him and headed for the emergency exit: "None of your employees will be in danger. After we take over Balem Star, if you are willing, you can continue to stay and work. The salary and benefits will not change."
?????
The man in charge looked at him in confusion. Who the hell wanted to work for a group of interstellar pirates?
But at this time, the opponent's gun was still against his back, so he could only shut his mouth and remain angry.
As a legal citizen of the Empire, he could not reason with a group of interstellar pirates who disregarded the law.
