Chapter 161: Incident
Time flies, and a few months have passed in the blink of an eye. Yan Hao's university life has entered the last semester. The seventh-level mimicry mecha has been completed by about 80%. As the mecha is gradually completed, the mental power emanating from the mecha becomes stronger and stronger. Every time Yan Hao completes one more step, Pang Lao will walk over and sigh.
“If this mecha of yours is completed, I’m afraid that as long as it appears on the battlefield, the Zerg below level seven will not dare to approach it.” said Mr. Pang.
"It's just level six." Yan Hao was still not satisfied.
"What else do you want? The level 10 mecha I made doesn't have this function." If Mr. Pang didn't know his apprentice's personality, he would definitely think that Yan Hao was pretending to be cool.
The Phantom Stone can absorb the spiritual power of the creator and store it inside, thus forming a strong spiritual pressure on the surface of the mecha. Although this spiritual pressure will gradually weaken as it leaves the human body, Yan Hao's own S-level spiritual power, even if it is weakened, can still easily deter Zerg below level six.
Moreover, the mental power stored in the phantom spirit has very little loss. Yan Hao and Pang Lao have done experiments together. If there is no mental attack or the phantom spirit stone is damaged, the mental power in the phantom spirit stone can even last for more than ten years.
Although the level 10 mecha made by Mr. Pang is powerful, it is not made with phantom stones. It is not that Mr. Pang has never thought about using phantom stones to upgrade the mechas he once made, but unfortunately his mental power is only A+, and it is too difficult to use phantom stones to complete the upgrade of the level 10 mecha. If it is not done well, it will be counterproductive.
Yan Hao smiled and stopped talking.
"By the way, you are about to graduate. Have you thought about where to go?" Mr. Pang suddenly asked.
Yan Hao was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion, it was obvious that he had never thought about this question.
"Can't it always be like this?" Yan Hao likes his current life very much and doesn't want to change it.
"How can it always be like this? You have been awarded the Purple Medal by the President of the Federation himself. The Federation will not allow you to stay in school forever." said Mr. Pang.
"I haven't thought that far ahead. I just want to register for marriage with my senior after graduation, then buy a house and have a home of my own." This has always been Yan Hao's dream.
"Now it's time to think about it. If my guess is correct, people from the Federation will definitely come to find you before you graduate." said Mr. Pang.
Yan Hao hummed, and the two did not continue this topic, but turned back to the mecha.
Deep in the starry sky, a medium-sized battleship was slowly flying towards the planet S36. They were a team that had just finished patrolling in an alien space region.
In the command room, Cheng Wenkang handed a bottle of water to Sheng Heng.
"Thank you." Sheng Heng took it and took a sip.
Cheng Wenkang looked at Sheng Heng with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Why, you got something to say?"
The two had known each other since kindergarten and had an unusual relationship. Cheng Wenkang rarely had anything he couldn't say to Sheng Heng. When he saw him ask this, he immediately said directly, "The brothers are all upset."
"What?"
"This time we went out only to patrol and not to take any action. It's been almost half a year, and our military merit has only increased a little. Now other legions are focusing on killing the Zerg, and we are the only one who has been passively defending. Some of my classmates who have gone to other legions are now accumulating enough military merit to reach the rank of second lieutenant." Cheng Wenkang said.
"No matter how many low-level Zerg you kill, you will never become a second lieutenant." Sheng Heng said.
"Even if you can't become a second lieutenant, you can still exchange it for star coins. One point of military merit is worth 100,000 star coins."
"If you need money, I can lend it to you."
"Are we short of money? Boss, I just don't understand. The last raid on the Zerg was so successful, and all the legions are taking advantage of the momentum to kill more Zerg. The Sima Legion even recaptured two occupied planets. Why is it that only our Ares Legion is on the defense? If this continues, problems will arise within the legion sooner or later. Boss, what is the admiral thinking?" Cheng Wenkang asked.
Sheng Heng also knew what Cheng Wenkang meant. In fact, he had heard some dissatisfaction within the legion during this period. One point of military merit was exchanged for 100,000 star coins. This was a rule set by the Federation long ago. During this period, the soldiers of other legions were desperately hunting Zerg, and they made a lot of money. Only the soldiers of the God of War Legion were still receiving a little salary every month.
At this time, my father and elder brother must be under a lot of pressure. I don’t know what they will do.
At the same time, on Planet Z36, Admiral Sheng was meeting with the top brass of the Ares Corps in the conference room.
"General, if this continues, the morale of the army will be unstable." A square-faced man said to General Sheng.
"I have already notified the Finance Department that the salaries of all soldiers in the army will be doubled this month," said General Sheng.
"But this is not a long-term solution. Besides, even if the salary is doubled, it is still far from being as much as what we earn from killing Zerg."
"You always say that this is the calm before the storm and that we need to observe and be cautious. But it's been almost half a year and there's nothing unusual about the Zerg. I think you're being too worried."
"I agree with Lieutenant General Lin's point of view."
"In fact, I have never quite agreed with your original decision. No matter what happens, it is always right to kill the Zerg. Kill one, and there will be one less threat to the Federation."
"Yes, I agree."
“I agree.”
Looking at the lieutenant generals and major generals who all agreed, Sheng Zhuo glanced at his father worriedly.
After the meeting, General Sheng sat in the main seat with a tired look on his face. He turned his head to glance at his eldest son who had not yet left: "Sheng Zhuo, do you also think that my order is wrong?"
"Father." Sheng Zhuo shook his head, but couldn't say anything more.
He agreed with his father's point of view, but the Zerg didn't seem to have any abnormalities in the past six months. On one side was a vague intuition, and on the other side was an ironclad fact, so it was no wonder that the soldiers under him had opinions.
"Let me think about it."
Sheng Zhuo knew that his father's words were almost equivalent to compromise. He thought it would only delay for a few days.
The distant interstellar space stretched out, and among the countless shining stars, there were eight stars shining with turquoise light. These turquoise lights flickered on and off, like breathing, very rhythmic. Suddenly, the green light of one of the stars became brighter and brighter, and the halo continued to expand, and finally exploded, revealing a huge Zerg body inside.
With a "whoosh", a pair of translucent wings suddenly opened. This action was like some kind of command. Countless red dots of light appeared in the darkness. The dots of light became more and more, like a red galaxy with no end in sight. If someone saw this scene at this time, they would definitely recognize that the red galaxy was densely packed with countless Zergs. And each one was above level six.
The cyan Zerg suddenly flew up, crossed its front paws and tapped hard in the air. The air suddenly twisted, revealing a wormhole that was just big enough for the cyan Zerg to enter. The cyan Zerg lowered its head and flew in. After it flew in, the red galaxy behind it also slowly flowed in. Until the last red dot disappeared, the starry sky became silent again. But this silence did not last long, and the second cyan star also exploded...
Almost at the same time, a black wormhole appeared silently outside the H-33 planet. The wormhole was not large and did not immediately cause any reaction from the H-33 garrison. On the other side of the planet, in a huge air fortress suspended outside the atmosphere, mechas and warships were taking off and landing frequently.
A team of soldiers in dark-colored uniforms came out from the warship that had just landed, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
"Third brother, you look so happy. You must have killed a lot of Zerg this time." A soldier who had just got off another small battleship asked with a smile.
"Not many, just ten level six Zergs." The man called the third brother laughed.
"Ten? Then you've made a million today."
"We've killed too many Zergs recently, and the exchange rate for military merit is decreasing. One million is probably not enough. I guess it's probably only five or six hundred thousand." The third brother sighed.
"That's not bad. I only killed a level six Zerg this time."
"Why only one?"
"Don't mention it. I just killed a Zerg and the mecha gave an alarm, saying that the power system had a problem. The soldiers have been too enthusiastic recently and the mecha maker can't keep up with the repairs. I don't know when the mecha power system repairs will be scheduled this time."
"Mine too. I came back this time to inspect the mecha. I just submitted an application on the battleship, and the result showed that I would have to wait for a month."
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Just as they were about to find a place to drink, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
"Attention all soldiers, attention all soldiers, a space wormhole has been discovered in the northern part of the planet at coordinates 098, 997, 334?? A large number of Zerg have appeared, all soldiers please go to support."
The broadcast echoed throughout the fortress, playing over and over again. All the spaceships and warships in the port, whether they had just returned or had already flown out, were turning around and flying towards the coordinates.
The two people who had just discussed going out for a drink subconsciously ran in the direction of the port, but when their hands touched the space button where they placed their mecha, they were suddenly stunned.
Their mechas are in a damaged state and need to be repaired.
Not only them, at the same time, more than 60% of the mecha warriors in the fortress encountered the same problem, and all of their mechas were more or less damaged. There were also a large number of mechas that were completely damaged and could not be operated at all in the maintenance center of the base.
On the contrary, the Zerg that suddenly attacked was numerous and powerful, especially the cyan Zerg that led the attack, which was a species they had never seen before. As soon as it flew into the atmosphere, it opened its mouth and screamed, and the powerful mental shock wave knocked down all the mechas that tried to approach it, including a level 7 mecha.
The person in charge of the base fortress is Sima Kuang, an eighth-level mecha warrior. When he witnessed with his own eyes that no mecha could get close to the strange blue Zerg, he sought help from outside and informed other planets of the appearance of space wormholes, while flying out in his eighth-level mecha himself, trying to interrupt the blue Zerg's mental shock wave.
Sima Kuang's mental power level was A+, and he was not afraid of the Zerg's mental waves. He flew straight under the cover of the mental shock wave. In the distance, the cyan Zerg also discovered him, narrowed its cyan eyes slightly, turned around and flew in the direction of Sima Kuang.
The man and the insect were approaching each other rapidly in the air, they met in an instant, and then separated, and the space shock wave disappeared at the same time.
Just as everyone was cheering for Lieutenant General Sima for interrupting the mental shock wave, the most powerful mecha on the planet H-33 was split into two in an instant, revealing Sima Kuang's ink-colored figure.
"Puff!" A green tail wing came from behind and pierced Sima Kuang's body.
Sima Kuang stared with disbelief and wanted to raise his hand to touch the sharp tail fin on his chest, but he couldn't muster the strength.
The tail swung again, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and threw Sima Kuang's body directly into its huge, serrated mouth.
Sima Kuang, Lieutenant General of the Sima Army, Level 8 Mecha Warrior, died.
The blue Zerg roared loudly again, and then countless Zerg flew in from the sky and landed on the H-33 planet.
