Chapter 402: Faya Arrives
Countdown to the Zerg Tide: 2 standard galactic days.
… …
Coo-coo-woo——
Whale calls in deep space.
Yang Ming floated quietly in the space.
There is no temperature, no distance, no time, only the infinite extension of space.
He saw the naked girl shrouded in holy light, floating quietly beside him. The two seemed within reach, yet seemed tens of thousands of light years apart.
The starry sky looked like a candle that had been blown out, and there seemed to be a dark river flowing there.
More and more starry skies are affected.
But in the blink of an eye, the entire deep space became pitch black, with only sporadic starlight left in two directions.
'They are coming.'
'They are coming.'
'They are coming.'
The noisy whispers surrounded my ear holes.
Yang Ming seemed to see something. He looked carefully in that direction and through the vague black shadows, he glimpsed the giant queen.
Her huge body was like a planet, which made Yang Ming subconsciously want to escape.
This was not something he could fight against.
The biological energy controlled by both is not at the same level.
The other party is about to cross the threshold of dimensional upgrading. This huge body like a planet is the shell of the queen that is unfolding in the basic material world. When this body is completely unfolded and the energy accumulated in it is completely released, it will be able to enter the realm of life's sublimation - the higher-dimensional world.
Yang Ming suddenly felt irritated.
The instinct to escape is fading.
He began to feel itchy all over his body. He turned his head to look at the girl beside him. A voice in his mind seemed to be driving him.
Devour.
Complete.
Become one.
Only by devouring Posa would he be qualified to face the queen head-on.
Only by devouring Posha, devouring Posha, devouring Posha...
Yang Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and with his tense body he jumped off the suspension platform, standing there gasping for breath.
Several people around immediately cast concerned glances.
The other person on the floating platform - Posa, who still looked like a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, slowly opened her eyes, sat up calmly, and turned to look at Yang Ming.
"What did you sense?" Posa asked.
"It's okay," Yang Ming shook his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "It seems that someone wants to interfere with my thoughts."
"Do you want me to devour you?"
"You accepted it too?"
"No," Posa shook her head, "I just felt an instinctive fear. Your strength is stronger than mine."
Yang Ming shrugged: "Don't think too much, I can't do such a thing as cannibalism. My human instinct can completely suppress the ancient god instinct."
Po Su curled her lips slightly: "I hope so."
The sound of lights turning on could be heard all around, and the light in the experimental chamber became much brighter.
026 and Mimili immediately stepped forward, the former to take care of Po Suo, and the latter brought a glass of warm water to Yang Ming.
"Any results?"
Mimi asked softly.
"Many, many bugs are already on the edge of human civilization."
Yang Ming made a gesture:
"The Queen's body has begun to expand before it reaches its dimensionality. It is now the size of a small planet, and the biological energy it contains is extremely terrifying.
"I also sensed more than a hundred pseudo-queens, which evolved from sixth-order male insects. They are commanders, scattered in various directions. These pseudo-queens are the command hub.
"Lü, pass this information to the Empire and Forerunner No. 4."
Lu's voice sounded at the side: "Okay, boss!"
Mimi Li sighed, raised her hand and held Yang Ming's hand, and whispered: "I will support you and do my best."
Yang Ming twisted her delicate face and didn't say much.
"Let's go back to the bridge," Yang Ming said, "Lv, prepare some food for us. We'll rest for a while and then hold the last comprehensive preparation meeting before the war."
"yes!"
…
Half an hour later, in the rest area in the corner of the Dongfeng bridge.
Yang Ming's right hand fell on Mimili's slender waist, and he frowned as he stared at the projection screen in front of him.
Hundreds of pictures were sliding across the screen, which were "eyewitness reports" from all over the Milky Way.
Now the Zerg's offensive intentions are very clear.
With the human territory of the Milky Way as the entire battlefield, the elite Zerg were placed on the side of the Sherman Empire.
This insect tide is 'pieced together' from insect swarms that have been hiding at the edge of the Milky Way for who knows how many years. These insects, which originally kept their distance and developed secretly in their respective areas, responded to the call of the Queen of Ascension.
“Now we can be sure that there are at least hundreds of fifth-order space Zerg tribes hidden at the edge of the Milky Way.
"Miss Hera has already obtained key information about the connections between Zerg groups and their specific operating mechanisms, but these are not the most important. If the human civilization in the Milky Way launches a subsequent counterattack, they will also hide in more remote areas.
"Let's get back to the swarm of insects that are gathering at this stage."
Lu spread out the pictures one by one to form a picture wall and said quickly:
"Currently, according to incomplete statistics, the Zerg is divided into six major swarms, including one direct swarm of the queen and five subsidiary swarms.
"This direct lineage of insects is located outside the northern border of the empire. It is estimated that there are 20 billion fifth-order adult insects and 2.5 billion sixth-order adult insects. They are the most difficult and terrifying existence in this insect tide.
“In addition, there are four-stage adults, which is three times the number of five-stage adults.
"The fourth-level bugs arrived here with the help of the space passage opened by the high-level bugs, serving as a supplement to the bug swarm.
"If we calculate based on the medium and large battleships of the Zerg, the number of these Zerg battleships will be 1.5 times the medium and large ships of the Empire's main fleet.
“What we must pay attention to is that the sixth-order bugs are already high-level space bugs. Warships composed of such individuals can pose a great threat to human fleets.
“The other five subsidiary swarms are mainly composed of fifth- and fourth-order bugs, with a number of around 60 billion each.
"Among them, one subsidiary swarm appeared near the southeastern border of the Empire, and the other four subsidiary swarms will attack the other three major powers in the galaxy."
Yang Ming nodded slowly: "How are those small countries doing now?"
“The good news is that in one-third of the polities, there are no swarms nearby at all.
"The bad news is that if the Empire's defenses are destroyed by these two Zerg swarms, they can use the Empire as a gap and attack all political systems in the galaxy."
Lu murmured a few times:
“Whether other political systems are willing to admit it or not, this ancient empire is the trump card of the galactic human civilization in this Zerg swarm.
"If the Empire can defeat the Great Queen, the Zerg will naturally subside. If the Empire loses, the problem will be very serious."
Mimily frowned and asked, "Will the Empire lose?"
"It's impossible to tell right now," Lu explained. "If we only consider the battle between the Skywrath Fortress and the Queen, the Empire only has a 50% chance of winning, and this battle will come at a very heavy price. However, considering that the Fayya people may interfere, everything is full of unknowns."
026 asked: "Are there many insect swarms over there in Luofeng?"
"There are some, but the threat level is not too high."
Law explained:
"We have detected four small swarms of insects outside the borders of the Falling Wind Alliance.
"These small swarms are supplements in the gaps between the six major swarms, and their numbers are slowly increasing. Their role should be to block the scattered human fleets in the Milky Way from supporting those key attack areas.
"Among them, there are about 2 billion fifth-order bugs, about 6 billion fourth-order bugs, and two sixth-order pseudo-queen bugs. The fleet of the Luofeng Alliance can just cope with them, but they will also be completely restrained by them.
"We can also use the power of Dark Star to quietly eliminate a wave of bugs."
Yang Ming said: "Is the special operations team ready?"
"Already ready, boss."
On the right, the voice of old Kolev came from a skeleton robot: "What is the special operations team?"
Lu smiled and said, "They are more than 30 ships that are similar in shape to the latest generation of warships of the New Federation. They have about 30,000 mechanical guards and several liquid robots. We have sent them to support the small countries near the New Federation."
Kolev: ...
Mimily: ...
026:……
Yang Ming shrugged: "In the face of the insect tide, we should unite as one, this is our principle. After the insect tide, we should make arrangements in advance, this is in our interest."
"You are still so cruel," Kolev sighed.
Yang Ming smiled and motioned for Lu to continue with his report.
Now, the insect tide has become clear.
In the Milky Way, the Sherman Empire is the most powerful. It is a mortal enemy of the Queen, so it has been targeted by the Zerg.
Even though the Sherman Empire had prepared for so long, with production lines churning out troops, activating sealed old warships, and infinitely strengthening the defense capabilities of planets outside the Imperial Star Circle, it was still somewhat powerless in the face of such a terrifying insect swarm.
According to the information Yang Ming had received, Levi Sherman's Invincible Fleet had already been activated;
All types of warships of the Empire have been equipped with explosive weapons that carry special warheads against Zerg;
There are more than thirty new and old dreadnoughts distributed throughout the empire. Although one-third of them can only be used as shield ships after firing two shots, the firepower is still considerable.
According to Law's calculations, the five major subsidiary swarms cannot directly pose a fatal threat to human civilization in the Milky Way.
The biggest threat is the Queen's direct army.
Two and a half billion sixth-order adults.
Yang Ming felt a headache just thinking about it.
If this thing goes straight to the Imperial Star, it will be the best news for all mankind; if it pushes forward all the way, the Empire will have to abandon the administrative star it locks on, or it will only be able to fight a decisive battle with the Zerg in the deep space near the Imperial Star circle.
There is no way. Even if all conventional forces are used up, we may not be able to stop them.
During the preparation stage, the military must consider every administrative star.
At this stage, the first thing the military has to consider is the continuation of human civilization and whether the empire can continue to exist.
A war is about to break out.
The Zerg is making its final assembly, and the major human fleets are also making their final gathering.
The entire human civilization in the galaxy is shrouded in the shadow of the great queen, and Yang Ming has been waiting for the "game launch", but there has been no news so far.
"Boss, there is actually some good news."
Lu said softly:
"The biological shielding technology we have promoted has been verified. There are two relatively remote human administrative planets not far from the gathering place of a large affiliated insect swarm. There are many insects flying around in the atmosphere over there, but they have not attacked the underground buildings.
"Of course, the administrative stars at the edge of the Milky Way have maintained radio silence, so this good news cannot be conveyed to the outside world."
Yang Ming smiled and sighed: "Now that you put it that way, my position as the richest man in the galaxy is much more secure."
Mimily was surprised and asked, "Did you make a lot of money?"
"Two-thirds of the shielding devices currently used in the Galaxy are produced by us, or are transferred from our production lines."
Lu pushed up his glasses:
"With this foreign exchange business, I rented servers in the top 100 political systems in the galaxy and established hundreds of companies.
"Although my computing power is not as good as that of the Empire's unified network, I can already fight her head-on."
Yang Ming muttered, "Didn't she say she wanted to borrow me? Why hasn't she done that yet?"
Lu snorted, "That must be because he is afraid of our strength."
Kolev said in a deep voice: "You two, never underestimate this mechanical thinking body of the Sherman Empire. Her horror may not be fully revealed yet. By the way, has she activated it this time?"
"The process was started half a month ago."
Lu laughed:
“The Empire just hasn’t announced it yet.
"I feel sorry for Labdo now. He has been preparing for so long, thinking about showing off his skills in front of humans and conquering the empire's unified network. Unexpectedly, he ended up being just a spare tire.
"Tsk, I really want to see if the core database of this new imperial guard has the attributes of a resentful woman."
Several people chuckled.
Yang Ming stretched and stood up: "I still have a military meeting to attend, everyone should have a good rest first. The insect swarm is estimated to break out tomorrow at the earliest, so you must keep your spirits up."
"Good!" 026 cheered politely.
Mimili complained, "How can I have a good rest? I feel stressed when I think about the insect swarm coming soon."
Lu asked: "Boss, the Empire has already sent a preparatory transfer order to Luofeng. If the insect plague in Luofeng is not serious and the Empire is afraid, will the Luofeng Fleet support the Empire?"
"Can you control the intensity of the war over there?"
"It should be possible," Lu responded.
Yang Ming looked thoughtful and said slowly:
“Although this is an insect swarm, as long as the fire of humanity is not extinguished, the effect will be equivalent to a galactic war.
“It’s enough for Luo Feng to take care of himself.
“In this way, Luofeng shouldn’t clear out the insect swarm too quickly. If there is an administrative planet of the empire in crisis in the area near Luofeng, we can rescue it appropriately.
"Luo Feng will give priority to supporting the weak administrative stars nearby to prepare for the next round of alliance expansion. As for the Empire, I will be there to fight for it."
"yes!"
Yang Ming turned his head to look at Posa, who was standing by the porthole, looking quietly at the direction where the Queen was.
Yang Ming called out, "Po Suo, stand behind me at this meeting! We will act together later, so we need to inform the Imperial Army in advance!"
"Um."
Posa nodded solemnly and was about to turn around and walk towards Yang Ming, but suddenly she frowned and stopped.
She closed her eyes, and light blue lines slowly appeared on her forehead, adding a bit of holy light to her pretty face.
The blue lines slowly condensed into a laurel wreath, which left Posuo's forehead and slowly rotated above her head. A strange light was sprinkled on the flagship of the Dongfeng.
The porthole was filled with colorful lights.
The normal one-second interval seemed to be stretched a thousand times, ten thousand times, and the robots controlled by Mimili, 026, and Kolev fell into a stagnation in an instant.
Only Lu, who had completed the upgrade, and the two ancient god life forms could still move freely at this moment.
Yang Ming glanced at Lu, whose projection immediately dissipated, leaving only two words for Yang Ming:
"Faya."
My goodness, with a great war on the way, the Faya people... are here to give him and Posa combat missions?
