Ripples appeared in space, and transport ships appeared in the empty star field.
I don’t know if the queen has any special abilities, but the transport ship’s jump coordinates are actually in a gap in the distant starry sky within the territory of the New Federation.
There was no patrol fleet nearby, nor any trace of interstellar civilization.
The transport ship's engine was shut down and obvious cracks appeared on the hull. The forced jump caused the ship's main engine to begin to collapse, and the dozen or so technicians who were held hostage on the bridge died from massive internal bleeding.
These also seem to be included in the queen's calculations.
In the transport ship, the queen insect lay on the ground, as if it had exhausted all its strength, with smelly mucus flowing from its body.
Dozens of special adult insects scattered throughout the transport ship seemed to be fulfilling a certain mission at this moment. Streams of mucus oozed out of the joints of their armor, which spread over the deck of the hull and quickly spread to all parts of the transport ship.
The larvae that died from the strong gravitational force during the jump fell into the universe like scattered grains of sand.
The remaining larvae that could still move rushed towards the cracks in the ship and the bridge area where the queen was, quickly wrapping around the head of the transport ship.
Yang Ming watched the scene quietly.
The blood-red in his eyes faded away again, and after his bloodlust reached its peak, he once again became absolutely calm.
There is no longer any rationality or irrationality at this point.
He just wanted to kill the bugs in front of him.
"Boss, the queen has started to assimilate the transport ship. It is expected to complete the initial assimilation in half an hour and start the second jump. It cannot escape the capture of the New Federation Fleet."
Lu's voice was still brisk.
Yang Ming fastened the strap of the multi-purpose flight backpack tightly, stretched out his right hand to one side, and in the eyes of 026 who looked in disbelief, he pulled the laser rifle in her hand over through the air.
"Begin transmission."
"Yes, start transmitting!"
The inverted pyramid-shaped particle transporter vibrated slightly.
Yang Ming squatted down, and as a beam of strong light burst out and converged, Yang Ming's figure disappeared.
026 rushed to the operating table and looked at the projection screen that was fully locked on the transport ship below.
A beam of strong light flashed, and Yang Ming appeared in the middle of the transport ship. At the same time, a faint flame appeared on the gray-white exoskeleton armor on his body, causing Yang Ming to crash directly into the outer armor of the transport ship.
026 did not forget her job. She had already sat on the newly added seat in front of the fire control desk.
Lu's voice sounded: "Release electromagnetic interference."
Above the transport ship, the faint outline of the Feinan appeared, and a circle of ripples invisible to the naked eye covered it downward.
Electronic equipment throughout the transport ship went out immediately.
Each insect looked up.
Lu: "Secondary guns fire."
"Repeat, secondary guns fire," 026's voice was a little nervous, but she pressed the button without any hesitation.
The Feinan lifted its optical stealth, and the three secondary guns at the bottom simultaneously burst out with deep blue ion beams.
Not far in front of Yang Ming, a large T-shaped hole appeared on the deck of the transport ship, and a large amount of gas diffused outward.
"Boss, the bridge has been cut off by Zerg, and we need to break in by force. The simulated gravity field has been restored, and close combat is possible. You only have seven minutes."
Yang Ming raised his hand and pressed the external button of the tactical helmet. A slightly hoarse voice sounded on the bridge of the Feinan:
"Record combat data."
"yes."
Feinan regained optical stealth.
Yang Ming still stood there waiting.
If we rush towards the hole in the transport ship immediately, we will be blown away by the gas escaping outward, and it will take time and consume the fuel of the flying backpack to fly back.
He only had to wait for more than ten seconds.
Yang Ming counted silently in his heart.
The deck vibrated slightly, and several larvae attached themselves to the deck with their long legs and pounced towards Yang Ming.
Draw the gun and pull the trigger.
A sweeping light curtain appeared in front of Yang Ming. Several larvae rushed out more than ten meters under the light bullets. Most of their bodies were knocked off before they stopped moving.
This is just a basic larva that hatched prematurely and is no more than half a meter long.
Obviously, the killing effect of the laser gun is very limited.
When dealing with low-level bugs, explosive damage and kinetic damage will be more effective.
A film like asphalt appeared on the breach in the transport ship's hull.
Yang Ming threw the laser gun behind him, grasped the two lightsabers in his hands, and leaned forward slightly.
The flying backpack sprayed flames downwards, and the nozzle immediately turned, braking twice quickly, causing Yang Ming to fall straight into the film!
Boom!
This was the noise made when Yang Ming smashed the interior of the transport ship.
026 saw a scene on the screen in front of her that left a deep impression on her:
In the long and empty cabin, a figure wrapped in gray-white armor stood quietly, with dense swarms of terrifying insects on both sides.
The bugs did not swarm in.
The space around Yang Ming was actually expanding.
His hands trembled slightly, and a deep purple and a sad red lightsaber's blades emerged.
Yang Ming turned and faced the bridge. The insects made gurgling sounds, but they had nowhere to retreat. A deep green light appeared on their small triangular heads.
The queen insect decided to fight to the death!
The bugs suddenly swarmed over!
Several weak, laser-like beams burst out in the chaos and shot towards Yang Ming's head!
Buzz——
Full body triggered shield activated.
The jetpack burst into flames.
Yang Ming held the two lightsabers, one upright and the other in reverse. His body was curled up and jumping. He swung the lightsabers in his hands forward with the maximum force and smashed into the swarm of insects right in front of him!
The knives and limbs flew, and green blood splattered.
Two second-order basic adults fell to the ground at the same time, leaving huge scratches on their hard bodies.
The adult at the back desperately rammed into the humanoid lifeform with the elliptical shield, and more than a dozen metal blade limbs slashed downwards.
The two lightsabers stirred rapidly, and pieces of limbs were thrown continuously with thick green liquid.
Yang Ming's tactical helmet was covered with insect blood.
But at this moment, even with his eyes closed, his perception was extremely clear.
fighting!
Killing!
Swallow!
Yang Ming could feel his body burning, an unprecedented power filling every cell in his body. He had checked his body countless times and it was still a 'human' body, but at this moment, something seemed to be wrong.
Biting, clawing, these low-level instincts were suppressed by him.
Drawing his sword and slashing, Yang Ming continuously improved his efficiency in harvesting Zerg.
He had no intention of a long fight.
Fragmentation grenades were thrown forward one after another, but the killing effect was not ideal.
But the lightsaber in Yang Ming's hand and the power surging from Yang Ming's body allowed him to cut a bloody path through the crowded swarm of insects!
He has only one goal.
Kill the queen insect that can only communicate with humans!
During the battle, Yang Ming quickly improved his fighting style.
The shells of these second-order bugs are indeed very thick. Although their attack methods are relatively simple, their force is very strong and the energy shield of the exoskeleton armor is being rapidly consumed.
One of the insects' weaknesses lies in their hind limbs, which contain their nervous systems.
The second weakness is the upper joint of the blade limb.
These are just second-stage adults!
If it was a fourth-tier, fifth-tier, or even a sixth-tier combat bug that was considered a true natural disaster...
For the first time, Yang Ming felt that his physical strength was far from enough and his means of attack were far from sufficient.
Become stronger!
Perhaps because of the pressure, he felt a sense of irritation in his heart, and his breath seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't breathe out.
During the fierce fight, Yang Ming suddenly stopped and smashed the lightsaber in his right hand forward, colliding head-on with the blade limbs of two Zergs.
The lightsaber ion beam blasted sparks.
The two blade limbs were cut off directly, and the broken blade limbs fell in front of Yang Ming and hit the edge of the energy shield heavily.
The energy shield flashed and suddenly disappeared.
From all directions , insects swarmed over frantically!
Yang Ming was breathing so hard that his lungs felt like they were about to explode!
His flying backpack was not activated, but his body gradually floated, and a faint red light flashed continuously around him, condensing into a layer of light red light curtain.
His eyes glowed red.
He opened his mouth and let out a roar.
"ah!"
A layer of red shock wave spread out from around Yang Ming and penetrated the entire transport ship without any hindrance!
The insects suddenly stopped moving, and the deep green light in their eyes quickly went out. Except for a few insects that still rushed towards Yang Ming, most of the insects began to retreat rapidly.
"Boss! Your gene stability coefficient has dropped to near the red line!"
Yang Ming did not respond.
Behind the helmet, his eyes were only scarlet.
The flying backpack spewed fire again, and Yang Ming leaped into the simulated gravity field. Several Zergs blocked his way in front of him. Yang Ming flipped his body and shot through the opponent's encirclement like a bullet, sweeping away several broken limbs.
The bridge door is just ahead.
The lightsaber swept across quickly, and Yang Ming kicked forward, causing the alloy door covered in mucus to collapse.
Ahead, dozens of adult insects were trembling continuously.
After the adults came the giant queen that had stopped assimilating the transport ship, and Hera, whose shoulder blade was pierced by the queen's tentacles.
"Let...me...go..."
A faint sound came out of Hera's mouth.
Yang Ming raised his hand and wiped the sticky green blood on the tactical helmet with his glove.
Buzz——
The lightsaber hummed.
Without the protection of the shield, the secondary ancient god life form launched another charge.
…
"Authorization? You're asking me for authorization at this time?"
Professor Pat looked at the projection screen in front of him and couldn't help cursing:
"Your superiors told you to follow my orders!"
"But, dear Professor Pat."
In the bridge of the warship, the commander of the Third Fleet of the New Federation Rapid Reaction Force, a middle-aged woman, frowned and said:
"I can only obey military orders, and you must go through my superiors before you can give me orders.
"Also, the target ship's landing point has been calculated. We have just completed the jump and are not prepared for a continuous jump. It will take three minutes to jump there now. You can use this time to communicate with your direct contact officer."
“That’s enough!”
Professor Pat shouted, and the expressions of the experimenters huddled together behind him were somewhat numb.
They are currently in the base's shelter center and still dare not step out of these bunkers.
The disaster they experienced in the last half hour will inevitably become an unforgettable nightmare for the rest of their lives.
Professor Pat picked up the communicator and began to communicate continuously, and the time spent naturally exceeded the three-minute limit.
However, this rapid reaction force is not delaying intentionally, they have already started the jump coating, establishing coordinates, and stabilizing space, and are just waiting for the military order to come so that they can start the jump immediately.
finally.
The fleet commander grabbed the communicator in front of him, and clear instructions came out of it.
"All ships jump! Lock on the target ship and destroy it immediately!"
More than a dozen ships wrapped in silver-white coating quickly slid into the space ripples.
Professor Pat did not relax at all and stared at the shaking projection screen.
Finally, a stable image appeared on the projection screen.
The rapid reaction force appeared in the airspace behind the target ship. The main gun of the main battleship locked onto the transport ship and began to charge rapidly.
"Don't detect! Don't turn on any detectors! Don't read the close-up!"
Professor Pat suddenly shouted.
Although the fleet commander was a little confused, the order she had just received was to fully cooperate with the professor, even if they were some bizarre orders.
"Shut down all detectors," the fleet commander ordered.
"Report!"
A technician shouted loudly: "A suspicious ship was found to the upper left of the target ship!"
Fleet Commander: "Project it!"
"yes!"
A somewhat blurry picture appeared in the upper left corner of the projection screen.
It was a fixed-wing warship that was slowly closing its tail compartment. It had graceful hull lines and was about 160 meters long. It seemed to be some kind of conceptual test ship.
"The main guns of Ships Two and Three are locking onto the ship, reading its identification mark."
"yes!"
"The ship's identification code is the new experimental transport ship of the Guell Alliance."
The fleet commander turned around and asked, "Professor, do we want to attack this spaceship as well?"
Professor Pat frowned as he looked at the data coming back.
What happened to this battleship?
Why is it here?
insect……
"Attack," Professor Pat immediately ordered, "Don't leave anyone alive."
The fleet commander felt a chill and gave quick orders.
The main guns of both ships were about to reach the minimum energy density allowed for firing.
The suspicious ship in the upper left corner suddenly accelerated!
As the fleet commander looked on in disbelief, the ship left a misty trail in space, like a swan spreading its wings, and quickly moved away at an incredible speed.
"The radar lost its target! The other party released strong interference!"
“What a powerful motivation!”
"What kind of engine is this? This kind of instantaneous output power is simply impossible to achieve!"
The fleet commander made a prompt decision: "Shoot!"
Two thick beams of light instantly illuminated the desolate star field.
The white swan-shaped spaceship seemed to have anticipated their order to fire, and flew upward in a tiny arc, narrowly avoiding the light beam.
There were bursts of exclamations from the bridge.
A beam of light appeared at the front of the Swan spacecraft and then disappeared.
"The other party begins to leap!"
"Calculating the landing point... it's a continuous jump!"
"Notify the border defense fleet to launch a sniper attack!"
There was chaos in the bridge.
Professor Pat frowned as he watched the scene in front of him. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the Zerg if their affairs were exposed...
No, these are not the Zerg they raised, these are the hidden Zerg nests discovered by Ram Star, and when they wanted to destroy the Zerg, the Zerg looted the transport ship and fled.
Yes, that's it.
"Blow up this transport ship and don't leave any trace!" Professor Pat whispered.
More than a dozen ships' main guns fired at the same time, and the transport ship quickly turned into dust in the universe.
Professor Pat watched all this coldly, said thank you for your hard work, hung up the phone, and turned to look at the experimenters behind him.
"Leave Ram Planet immediately and activate Base No. 2.
“Disinfect Ram Star and remove all traces in the shortest possible time.
"Add experimental regulations. If the queen insect shows signs of evolving to the third stage, it will be killed immediately."
…
Feinan, in the stern cabin.
A twisted escape pod fell into a corner.
As soon as the continuous jump was completed, 026 ran over at a high speed and, after great effort, finally opened the door of the escape capsule.
A fishy smell hit me in the face.
Yang Ming, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was dyed green all over.
026 didn't care whether the insect blood was dangerous or not, and tried to pull off Yang Ming's helmet.
"Boss! Are you okay, boss?"
"I'm not going to die yet," Yang Ming's voice came.
He seemed to be exhausted. He took off his helmet with some effort, closed his eyes and panted hard: "Go check the samples behind... Take her to the emergency room... If she can be saved, keep her in a dormant state."
“Okay boss!”
026 quickly agreed and went to open the auxiliary door at the rear.
Hera was lying there covered in blood, her body wrapped in first aid capsules, her vital signs very weak.
Yang Ming didn't want to move a finger at this moment, and just kept gasping for breath.
Feeling the heat in his body and the visibly increasing strength, Yang Ming couldn't help but grin.
This is hunting!
Lu's projection appeared on the side.
"Boss, Feinan's first time is gone."
"It's gone," Yang Ming said with a smile, "That also means that we can drive the Feinan and move around the New Federation without restraint in the future."
Lu muttered, "Okay, but we can't use the Feinan at will in Luofeng territory."
"This is not a problem. Luo Feng, I have the final say now."
Yang Ming threw the lightsaber aside, tried to get up, and sat down in the cockpit again.
"It's exciting."
"It was exciting. We were almost hit."
Lu sighed, his eyes showing some trepidation:
"It's my responsibility, Boss. If I hadn't suggested that you rescue Hera for research, we could have retreated calmly."
Yang Ming turned his head to look at Hera who was being carried away by the emergency robot, and shrugged slightly:
"Don't worry too much. I want to save her too. She's a beautiful girl. I like her personality... and figure."
Lu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She did not recommend that secondary ancient god life forms perform reproduction rehearsal rituals with Zerg larvae.
But if you think about it carefully, this might produce some wonderful reactions.
Yang Ming, who had no idea what Lu was thinking, narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment:
"We will analyze her from all angles to determine how she communicates with the Zerg. Whether we can find Zerg eggs within the Sherman Empire and give the New Federation a great gift may depend on her performance."
"More than that, Boss, you need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination and be injected with gene stabilizing fluid immediately."
"I feel great now," Yang Ming yawned, "Find two robots to carry me back. I'll take a nap first... It's strange. After , I feel like my muscles have become stronger... What's the principle behind this..."
He murmured, slowly closing his eyes.
A soft snoring sound came from the tail cabin.
Lu stared at Yang Ming for a while.
"Good night, boss."
