In the pitch-black space, hundreds of insectoid swarms, each six or seven meters long, completely surrounded a starship and a mech. The battlefield was silent, with flashes of light from time to time, sometimes from the mech's powerful energy guns, sometimes from the starship's energy cannons that could only be used once every ten minutes or so. The scene was dangerous, silent, and beautiful.
During this time, Liz did not appear, presumably staying inside Shen Sihan's mecha.
This was exactly what Lian Han had thought. If the Zerg attacked, the first person they would target would naturally be Aunt Shen. Liz's mission was simply to rescue her under such circumstances. 3S could already walk on air.
"Boom!" The ground suddenly shook. Lian Han frowned and looked at Chen Ningye. The latter had pulled up all the external influences of the starship, and then his expression became more and more ugly.
Lian Han frowned and walked over to him to look at it together.
A Zergling reached beneath the starship, pressed close to it, and bit it with its teeth – they really had good teeth.
That must have been the sound of the Zerg landing. Lian Han thought, looking at the wrecked hull of the starship.
Suddenly, something familiar flashed past, and then Lian Han's pupils contracted.
She'd seen this insect before! Right there on the battlefield in the Northern Border, Ning Jue had even torn one apart! But that wasn't the most crucial point; the crucial point was that they grew by devouring the bodies of their own kind!
What were these things called again? Lian Han frowned, then remembered their name—Self-Destroying Bugs. Seeing that they were already too close to stop them, Lian Han immediately messaged Shen Sihan, warning her to be extremely careful. Then, taking a moment to ask: [Old man, what's the strongest level of Self-Destroying Bugs one can steal?]
"As long as there are enough corpses, humanity can become as strong as it is," Old Xing replied. He hadn't expected that there would be something else lurking in the suicide squad.
Lian Han frowned. "What if there are only a few hundred?"
[Maximum 2 seconds. The most terrifying thing about those guys is their self-destruction; stay far away from them.]
[I understand.] Lian Han nodded. Seeing that the hull of the starship was about to open, Chen Ningye still couldn't get the bugs off. Lian Han said, "Uncle Ningye, I'll take care of those on the hull."
"No, you..."
"I'm an S-rank too, and the suicide squad's strength is generally C-rank, so nothing will happen." After Lian Han finished speaking, he had already left with Xing Ye in his arms.
Watching her decisive figure disappear into the distance, Chen Ningye sighed helplessly. "Birds of a feather flock together," she thought. "She's just as efficient as Si Han."
However—a ruthless glint flashed in Chen Ningye's eyes. The fact that the Zerg had conveniently appeared on their return route was probably not so simple. Next time, they absolutely couldn't travel so lightly. What could just three people possibly do?
After leaving the starship, Lian Han enveloped himself with his mental energy, while another part of his mental energy gripped the outer shell of the starship. He then slowly moved around, looking around to find the Zerg.
Chen Ningye's message came at this time, accurately pointing Lian Han in the right direction and saving her a lot of trouble.
What she said wasn't wrong; the insects in the suicide squad weren't particularly strong. Lian Han, holding Xing Ye in one arm, took out a card from a distance of three to five meters.
Ice-type intermediate level: Ice Seal.
Seeing their movements gradually slow down, Xingye jumped out of his sister's arms without Lian Han saying anything, and Shangyu finished them off with a single claw each. He walked in space as if on flat ground, for reasons unknown.
In this way, Lian Han and Xing Ye quickly dealt with the insects on the surface of the starship, and Chen Ye Ning immediately activated the protective shield and ordered the repair robots to repair the starship as soon as possible.
Lian Han was also preparing to return to the starship.
But what happened next startled her. The starship suddenly shook, almost causing Lian Han to fall. Looking up, she saw a gigantic insectoid creature plunging straight into the starship. When did it appear? Why did no one notice?
However, before Lian Han could think further, he saw the insect twist its waist.
"Boom..."
Lian Han witnessed the entire process of a starship splitting in two.
[What is this?]
[The Queen Insect.] Old Xing's tone was unpleasant. [What kind of food and drink is there at the border? Letting the Zerg in is already a dereliction of duty, but to let the Queen Insects infiltrate the Federation too! A single Queen Insect can wipe out an ordinary planet!]
Lian Han paused for a moment, feeling a headache coming on after hearing what he said.
[There's more bad news: the starship has been split in two, and unfortunately, the command center is located in the other one.]
Lian Han: ...Why is she so unlucky?
Lian Han had just affixed a mid-level Spirit Gathering Card to himself when he saw the King Insect appear, its enormous head facing Lian Han, its scarlet eyes staring directly at him, a truly terrifying sight.
However, she cannot move now, and any unusual movement would inevitably be exposed, which is one of the drawbacks of the Concealing God Card.
Lian Han had another card in her hand. If Wang Chong discovered her and attacked her, she would leave immediately. Unsure of Aunt Chen's reassurance, she was still somewhat unwilling to give up; otherwise, she might have already fled upon seeing Wang Chong.
Wang Chong stared at that spot for a long time, puzzled. Where had that aura gone? Wang Chong was somewhat confused, but she wasn't stupid. She knew the person was definitely still nearby, so she opened her mouth wide, intending to swallow the half-starship whole.
Looking at that gaping maw, Lian Han felt his body stiffen. He was about to inject his mental energy into the random teleportation card and then escape from this place.
A beam of blue light came from the stars and landed on Wang Chong, immediately causing her to deviate from Lian Han's half-starship.
Lian Han breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time the light dissipated, revealing a mecha.
Yuting Mecha!
It was Ning Jue? Lian Han watched the two locked in combat, feeling surprised but also knowing that the other had saved him again. This was the second time.
As she was thinking, her AI lit up. It was a message from her adjutant, telling her to go to the edge of the wreckage, as a warship would arrive soon to pick her up.
Lian Han expressed his gratitude and quickly arrived at the edge of the wreckage.
Standing in the warship's command center, watching them systematically mow down the Zerg and relieving Shen Sihan's stress, Lian Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe.
It's good that it's safe now.
"Thank you very much, Lieutenant Yu. You've come at just the right time."
"It's just a coincidence that I'm returning to the capital star to report for duty," Lieutenant Yu chuckled. "Besides, letting the Zerg get here was an oversight on the part of the military. Miss Han, look, the battle is over."
The adjutant's eyes suddenly lit up, and the warship turned the camera around.
The King Worm, the one that Old Man Xing said could destroy a planet, was turned into minced meat in front of everyone.
Meanwhile, with the help of the warship, Shen Sihan finally dealt with the remaining Zerg, and the two returned to the warship together.
Inside the command room, the man walked in step by step. His appearance was absolutely stunning. His deep eyes revealed neither joy nor anger, yet seemed to possess the ability to see through everything. He exuded the wisdom and composure of someone in a position of authority. This man deserved to have the best of everything in the world. For no reason at all, Lian Han's heart skipped a beat.
