Chapter 414: Your express delivery!
The jammers remain on, and the distance keeps shrinking.
There was a constant buzzing sound in Yang Ming's brain, as if countless insects were buzzing in his ears.
The insects' attention was attracted by Posa.
The queen in the wormhole had obviously fallen some distance; she was facing the ground, and at this moment the cross-section of the wormhole had already appeared on the front side of her abdomen.
Yang Ming's Ghost rushed into the edge of the Zerg!
The surface of the earth swayed like a red whirlwind, sweeping across the ground.
However, due to the lack of the support of the Ghost Mecha, Posa's attack power and mobility were greatly reduced. Fortunately, her own combat system was much richer than Yang Ming's, and her efficiency in killing the insect swarm was very considerable at this moment.
A countdown appeared in front of Yang Ming.
This is when he collided with the wormhole.
The flying backpack on the back of the Ghost spewed out hot fluid forward, and his speed began to gradually decrease, like a red meteor across the sky.
'There aren't many bugs in this direction?'
Yang Ming felt a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, his Dongfeng should have been marked by the Zerg, and the Dongfeng appeared in this direction, but the Zerg's defense focus was in the opposite area.
The opposite area...
The human fleet that arrived earlier is attracting the attention of the insects?
Yang Ming sighed in his heart. This mixture of fifth-level and sixth-level adults was an extremely difficult enemy for a small fleet to deal with.
But he didn't express any opinions and just kept moving forward.
Advance, charge, and achieve tactical objectives!
Only victory can comfort the dead soldiers!
…
Near the border of the empire.
Behind the stealthy Dark Star Elite Fleet, the giant scientific research vessel was making preparations for the jump.
Because the Luofeng Alliance is carrying out the "influence expansion" operation, the Luofeng Alliance's joint fleet is simultaneously supporting four or five small and medium-sized political entities, so the number of ships in the escort fleet here has been reduced by two-thirds.
They will not actively hunt pseudo-queens.
Moreover, the swarms of insects near the empire are gathering towards the empire, and the airspace near the border of the empire is relatively safe.
Lu's mental clone was residing in a mechanical guard, who was now standing in front of a porthole with his arms folded, staring at the direction where Yang Ming was.
'boss.'
Law whispered softly.
Behind this mechanical guard, in this huge cabin, thousands of two-meter-high nutrient tanks are densely arranged. Inside, the girls with the same appearance quietly close their eyes, and their heads are wrapped in helmets.
The experiment opportunity this time is very short, from the time when the Queen officially appears in the Empire to the time when she leaves or is defeated. This is the only window for the experiment.
Hera was currently lying on the operating table in the center.
She has completed the two steps of upgrading and reproducing the high-dimensional microorganisms in her body, but is still in a coma.
This coma is a form of protection for her body, preventing too much strain on the nervous system.
Lu looked at the time and strictly followed the experimental process set by Hera, starting the second step after "high-dimensional microbial cultivation".
The mechanical guard picked up a walkie-talkie, and Lu's voice came out:
"All clones will have their memories overwritten and share the cloned memories. Three, two, one... execute."
Amid the buzzing sound, the lights on the helmets flashed continuously.
Lu waited quietly for dozens of seconds, and about thirty clones showed abnormal life indexes.
Yes, even the memory overwriting technology that is already known to be mature has a failure rate of about 3%.
According to the experimental process, abnormal clones will have their consciousness erased and their bodies will become petri dishes for high-dimensional microorganisms, increasing the experiment's resistance to risks.
Lu's real body in the thinking space pursed his lips slightly.
She felt that she needed to delete this part of her memory afterwards.
This is different from a war on the battlefield. Even though the casualties caused by any war would exceed those in the current experiment, the nature of the two are completely different.
Rather than saying that this is the experimental process set by Hera, it is more accurate to say that it should be "attributed" to the Faya civilization.
In the eyes of the Faya people, low-dimensional intelligent life individuals have no meaning.
Lu glanced at the time, waiting for the clone to fully adapt to the memory data before moving on to the third step.
【An attempt to clone a self-organizing network. 】
As long as the third step is successful, they will be ready at any time to connect these more than a thousand Hera clones to the Zerg's cross-time and space network for the final experiment.
——Try to interfere with the spirit and thoughts of the queen individual who is about to ascend to another dimension.
This is the fate that the Fayats have set for Hera.
Lu stared at Hera's sleeping profile. Although that delicate face was neglected, it was still cute and charming.
"It would be nice if you were an ordinary girl."
Lu sighed softly and continued to stare at the current experiment content.
The success or failure of this experiment directly determines whether the Faya people will give other experimental projects, which is related to the future development of Dark Star-Luofeng and whether the boss's ambitions can be realized.
The purpose of the law is clear.
The third test of Twilight is a huge hurdle. It is unknown whether the boss can resonate with the robot Twilight again and whether he can pass the rigorous mid-term assessment.
Lu knew the pressure and mission of her boss, and what she could do was to ensure that her boss would become a powerful regime pioneer like Levi Sherman.
Even if it causes bloodshed in the human world.
Lu continued to turn his head and gazed through the porthole into the depths of the Empire's territory. He watched the war between the Empire and the Zerg through the secret detectors he had left in various places across the Empire.
It’s time to reveal the empire’s trump card.
If this trump card is not strong enough, she will make some risky attempts in the near future.
…
The scene switches to returning to the Blue Planet's atmosphere.
Half of the fake queen's body has already emerged from the insect tunnel, and that terrifying body exudes a terrifying aura.
Yang Ming was about to rush to the wormhole.
Faintly, Yang Ming seemed to hear some calling voices.
The call was very strange, like the call of a whale in deep space, but it was continuous and extremely bewitching.
For unknown reasons, Yang Ming began to feel irritated, his brain began to glow slightly, and red halos appeared in his eyes and nostrils.
fighting.
Yang Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and pictures appeared before his eyes.
These are pictures of insects killing humans!
The city was eaten by the swarm of insects, the fire of civilization was extinguished by the insects, a planet was hollowed out by the insects, and the humans who were in the way became the minced meat on the insects' knives...
Yang Ming suddenly felt nauseous.
That is the song of insects, a song called "annihilation", which is a direct provocation to the natural enemy, the ancient god life form!
"Intense brain wave fluctuations detected," Li's voice sounded, "Should we evacuate the battlefield?"
"Need not!"
Yang Ming pulled out his right hand from the operating table, put it to his mouth, and bit down hard on the tiger's mouth.
The intense pain brought Yang Ming back to consciousness. He shook his head, and the scar on his knuckles healed quickly. He then inserted his right hand into the connection of the mecha again.
"Watch out Posha!"
"She's out of control."
Yang Ming: …
A tiny projection screen popped up in front of him, and the image inside made Yang Ming a little overwhelmed.
On the surface, countless insects were flying upwards, and their shadows were like mountains rising from the ground.
Posa is at the top of the peak.
Her whole body was burning with blood-red flames, and her hands were tightly grasping sharp blades that seemed to extend from her body. She looked up and stared at the false queen above her. Her upward speed continued to soar, and those insects were left far behind.
In fact, in Yang Ming's subjective feeling, Posu's current acceleration is not much different from the acceleration of the Evil Ghost in the atmosphere.
What a great hatred and resentment this is!
"Li, let my Ghost ram into Posa!"
"Understood, we need to speed up."
"Then add it!" Yang Ming roared.
A countdown popped up in front of his eyes instantly, and the original backward force switched to forward propulsion after two seconds.
The Ghost cuts into the edge of the atmosphere.
Yang Ming growled and wrapped the Evil Ghost with his mental power. The red film at the joints of the Evil Ghost extended again, almost completely assimilating the Evil Ghost!
The mecha was constantly vibrating.
The rarefied gas molecules become a huge obstacle.
Yang Ming felt like he was carrying a mountain, and he had to grit his teeth and keep lifting the mountain!
The tunnels, swarms, and pseudo-queens are right before your eyes!
The bright red meteor that danced around counterattacked!
"reason!"
The flying backpack of the Ghost exploded with a loud bang. The powerful thrust made the Ghost rush forward violently. Yang Ming felt as if he had taken a shaped charge on his back and almost vomited blood.
Posa is just ahead!
The two trajectories, which were almost at a ninety-degree angle, were about to collide in front of the pseudo-queen insect.
Three seconds!
Two seconds!
Impact!
"fuck your mother!"
Yang Ming cursed, and the Ghost suddenly turned its head when it was about to hit Posa.
boom!
Posa was knocked flying diagonally downward!
The speed of the Li Gui, which had absorbed the kinetic energy of Posha, slowed down, and Yang Ming just happened to come face to face with the 600-meter-long pseudo-queen.
The "package" that the Ghost had been holding in his hand had been thrown out fiercely by Yang Ming, sticking to the pseudo-queen's shoulder and thrown into the airspace behind the pseudo-queen.
'You deliver!'
A violent beam of light suddenly flashed, and the wormhole collapsed directly within a few microseconds due to the violent surge of energy and fluctuations in the internal space.
The pseudo-queen worm roared and reached out to grab the Ghost, but the worm tunnel closed instantly, the pseudo-queen worm's forelimbs were neatly cut off, and the worm's blood spilled down from the sky.
A few seconds later, a violent shock wave erupted from the collapsed wormhole. The huge energy acted on the surface of the planet, triggering a series of earthquakes.
The Phantom had already rushed out of the explosion range.
In the cockpit, Yang Ming lowered his head and kept dry-heaving. Even though he was as strong as he was, he could not withstand this series of torture.
But he had no time to rest now, as the Grim Reaper rushed straight towards Posa.
The swarm of insects lost the command of the pseudo-queen, and under the intimidation of the breath of the ancient god life form, began to flee into outer space.
Posa was also in a semi-conscious state at the moment. When she was still falling rapidly, she was grabbed by the Ghost and stuffed into the cockpit.
"Posuo? Posuo!"
"Hmm?" Posa opened her eyes dazedly, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, and then laughed awkwardly, "It seems like I'm out of control."
Yang Ming frowned and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
“No,” Posa looked in the direction where the pseudo-queen disappeared, “The Queen is behind that pseudo-queen. She is singing the war song that is popular in the higher-dimensional space.”
"I don't understand," Yang Ming sighed and looked up towards outer space.
He saw a small fleet.
It was this fleet that attracted most of the insects' firepower, allowing him to successfully implement his plan to attack and kill the pseudo-queen from the side, and it also indirectly broke the Queen's conspiracy to lure and kill Posa.
The more than forty ships were now strangling the insects that had lost their fighting spirit.
Yang Ming frowned tightly.
He saw... his own flag... It was the flag projected by the ship's projection device.
"Those guys?"
Yang Ming pursed his lips slightly: "Li, what is the number of this unit?"
"The Sakaar Star Escort Fleet, and the private fleets of several other nobles."
Yang Ming fell silent.
Li's voice fluctuated, mixed with some emotions: "I'm sorry, they are the fleet closest to here. When I mobilized them, I deliberately concealed their numbers from you so that you would not make a misjudgment due to emotional impulse."
Yang Ming: …
"Were there a lot of casualties?"
"Sixty percent loss," Li said softly, "I will compensate you for the planet within my authority."
Yang Ming whispered, "No need to make special arrangements... I can make up for it myself. The Ghost will go and join them. I will rest in my fleet, and you can arrange the subsequent battle plan."
"yes."
The projection of Li appeared in front of Yang Ming. She stared at Yang Ming across the boundary between virtual and reality.
Li suddenly asked: "Can I ask you a question?"
Yang Ming asked: "Will this question be recorded?"
"Won't."
"You ask."
"How do you view relationships like partners, friendships, and comrades-in-arms? When these relationships conflict with your own interests, will you prioritize your own interests? Please answer as sincerely as possible."
"Yes," Yang Ming said, "The most sincere answer is that I always put my own interests as the highest priority."
Li nodded slowly: "Is there any other situation?"
The Phantom is maneuvering towards outer space.
The remaining fleet has received orders to begin remote towing to help the Ghost save energy.
"There is no other situation," Yang Ming said calmly, "My own interests include many things, including emotional value and sentimental value."
Li asked back: "Then why would you take such a big risk to rescue Po Su?"
Posa snorted, crossed her arms and raised her head: "I am mom."
"screw you!"
Yang Ming glared at Posa, then looked at Li helplessly.
He whispered, "I don't know what you've been through, and I don't know why you're asking this kind of question, but I can tell you that people should have some bottom line. My bottom line is above my own interests, and this bottom line is also very simple. Don't do things that make you feel guilty. To put it more simply, have a clear conscience."
"With a clear conscience?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Besides my bottom line, I also have my own ideals."
"ideal?"
"Yes, my ideal," Yang Ming said slowly, "My ideal can be simply summarized in one sentence ."
"What?"
"I will find another organization in the galaxy that is willing to call me a comrade."
Li and Posa both looked puzzled.
Yang Ming curled his lips and didn't say much. He looked up at the ship in front of him.
Ah, how should I face these young people from Sakaar?
Boss Yang fell into deep thought.
