Chapter 45

Feng Xi had only learned about the military’s process for dealing with the Zerg in promotional videos. As a person who was not from a military academy, he couldn’t quite figure out how to clean up the Zerg.

Especially in this situation where there are more Zerg than compatriots, fire suppression will inevitably hurt civilians.

Knowing that he was curious, Qi Mu handed him a copy of the Executive Officer's Code, which recorded the minimum rescue ratio in various situations. In special circumstances, the decision of whether to rescue or not depends on the Executive Officer himself.

In addition to his status as an admiral, Qi Mu is also the executive officer of the Edge Galaxy. In order to be responsible for the citizens of the Edge Galaxy, he has always given priority to abiding by the Executive Code.

Feng Xi: "There are so many restrictions, including the restrictions on heavy weapons for each rescue. Isn't it too rigid?"

Qi Mu looked around to see if there was anyone else near the porthole, and came to Feng Xi to explain, "This thing was implemented in previous years." The official summary is to make flexible adjustments in response to the financial constraints of the edge galaxy. I don't agree with this."

"Is it because the financial situation is good recently?" Feng Xi focused on studying and analyzed the existing information carefully.

Qi Mu took a step back reservedly, "Because the rescue efficiency is high, and with me here, the military department does not need to consider the expenditure of weapons against high-level Zerg, so the code cannot restrict me, isn't it great?"

If it is the fusion state, Qi Mu's tail They all go up to the sky, openly asking for praise.

Feng Xi's high-speed learning brain was suddenly stuck and he couldn't think anymore. He pressed his hands on both ends of the spine of the book and closed it, "Be normal."

Qi Mu also felt that this move was detrimental to the wise spirit he had created in the military department. Move the image and take steps to shrink the best viewing distance.

The hair was disturbed and bounced back and forth. Qi Mu looked up and could only see a part of Feng Xi's wrist exposed due to his sleeves falling down, and the beautiful bulge on the side.

"Excellent, worthy of being a general." Feng Xi ruffled his hair and tried his best to flatten the corners of his mouth to avoid laughing, but an uncontrollable smile overflowed from his eyes.

A three-year-old child would scream childish upon hearing his compliment.

"...Uh." Qi Mu's ears turned red. He reached out to grab the code and abruptly changed the subject, "It's just okay. Come on, if you are curious about anything else, I will explain it to you."

Immersed in the admiral's personal explanation In the knowledge, Feng Xi had a better understanding of the operations of the military department, and then asked the sorting guide how to cooperate.

Qi Mu had never seen this before. He had no guide before, but he still thought irresponsibly for a while and said decisively, "Every sentry will be very fragile after a battle. At least he needs a hug, right?"

-The

fleet stopped at C- In the star field outside the b5 colony, the internal channel rang a few times, and the navigator's voice came.

"Sir, the satellite image shows that the image has taken shape. We have successfully locked the location of the insect outbreak and can start fighting."

Qi Mu nodded and carefully evaluated the enlarged image transmitted. Soon, he issued an order, "Clean up the low-level insect race first. Scan the vital signs to see if there are any civilians. "

The cleaning process was carried out in an orderly manner, and the estimated number of Zerg on the entire planet was shown, causing everyone in the command room to take a breath.

There are five thousand Zerg in a small area. Although most of them are low-level Zerg, so many monsters have been born in just a few days. The planet's mineral resources may have been eaten up.

The new adjutant looked at Qi Mu in embarrassment, "Sir... this has reached the highest level of cleanup, right? There are still nearly a hundred advanced Zerg."

According to the instructions for combating Zerg, once there are more than 10,000 Zerg on the planet, When the number of people is not large, weapons of mass damage can be used to clean up.

Qi Mu nodded, "Nothing, normal cleaning process. Far enough away from the Zerg home planet, they pose little threat."

Feng Xi sat on the side, sorting out the contents of the meeting in his mind.

It is rumored that the Zerg home planet is a cradle capable of hosting trillions of Zerg, and the reason why the Zerg is obsessed with plundering minerals from other planets is to continue to expand their own planet, support their mother, and welcome more compatriots. .

The insect mother never leaves her home planet, so humans rarely have the opportunity to glimpse the characteristics of this alien race.

According to the known information, it is inferred that its brain domain is similar to the spiritual domain, and it relies on thin and dense spiritual threads to connect its descendants. But contrary to common sense, at the hub that connects hundreds of millions of Zerg species, the detection device close to the insect star can only detect It is close to the mental domain intensity signal of Special S people, but less than twice as strong.

If you ignore the super reproductive ability of the insect mother, its brain strength is about the same as that of the Super S Guide. Therefore, the low-level zerg are always chaotic and disordered, and their mother can only take care of the high-level adult worms.

The command room was silent for a while, and the sound of the pen tip touching the screen continued to sound. Their minds were infected by Qi Mu's calmness, and they redefined this bad invasion as a small conflict.

Qi Mu crossed his arms and waited for the navigator's response, "Have you found more signals? How are they different from those sent to nearby star fields?"

The other party shook his head and responded, "No, this star field is shrouded in a bass band, which is commonly used by the Zerg. The method could not capture any abnormal frequency bands."

Unable to lock the vital signs, Qi Mu tapped the table and gave the command coldly, "Start large-scale cleaning and wait for more information from the smartphone."

According to the information in the initial scanning stage, he You can probably see traces of several advanced Zerg species, and their specific forms are much different from those seen on the battlefield. The possibility of experimental transformation cannot be ruled out.

Experiments on the Zerg were not prohibited, but it was the first time today that he had seen such a riot.

-The

peregrine falcon flew briefly at low altitude, and soon became exhausted. Barton raised his arms to meet his spiritual body. The long-term lack of water caused a layer of dead skin to form on his mouth and his face turned yellow. His military cap had flown to nowhere. There were scabbed wounds on his arms, and there were still traces of acid burns.

He was not the only one in the team like this. Everyone wore rumpled clothes and lived on rare food.

The meat of the Zerg is sour and sour, chewing it feels like eating wood, and even with the fishy smell, this thing can't even compare to wood. There was no water to be obtained from it, and they did not dare to risk going to distant rivers to get water, so they could only stay thirsty.

It is estimated that no team will be more unlucky than them. As soon as they arrived on the planet, they encountered Zerg that was much higher than their level. The most advanced weapons could not break through the Zerg's carapace, so they had to abandon the ship and look for support from the planet.

As a result, I didn't expect that there was nothing left on this broken planet. Buildings, trees, rivers, minerals, anything containing energy were all eaten to the bottom by insects.

As soon as they left, they knew it was a wrong decision and wanted to rush back to the spacecraft. But it was too late. The Zerg on this planet had been hungry for too long and wanted to take a bite of everything they saw, sucking all the energy from their spaceship.

The information collected during the period even made Barton feel chilly. There may be the highest-level Zerg known to exist on this planet. When Wu Mingzhi said this, he directly pushed the person to the ground and wanted to vent his anger with a fatal blow, but the outcome was determined and he finally let go.

The survivors couldn't bear the long journey, and some of them were put into underground fortresses along the way. They could only pray that those people would be safe until rescue. But to be honest, they have been waiting for despair.

The only dialer in the team that could communicate with the outside world was taken away when Wu Mingzhi lured the Zerg away alone. Thinking of the figure who left resolutely with the communication source, Barton sighed.

At this moment, Wu Mingzhi's subordinate nervously clasped the blood scab on his hand, his eyes sunken: "Captain, why hasn't he come back yet? He said he was going to contact support."

Barton was silent, and just as he was about to think of an excuse, he heard A loud noise came from outside the cave.

This is the fifth temporary shelter they have replaced. Are the Zerg chasing them?

But bugs don't make such shattering sounds. Years of military life made him directly aware of the current situation. The sound was the sound of shattering bullet casings and the explosion of the metal shell wrapping the ammunition as it collided with the ground.

The ammunition symbolizing death gave him new hope at this time. Barton suddenly summoned his spiritual body and flew out of the shelter facing the gunfire.

Finally saved!

More and more people realized that support was coming, and they stood up together, preparing to rush towards the place where the signal was sent.

-Qi

Mu led the second execution team into the planet environment. After the air in the ship briefly connected with the atmospheric environment, it showed that it was safe to enter.

The Zerg that spread on the surface of the planet were wiped out, making it much cleaner. The remaining high-altitude strikes were difficult to accurately control and kill, so the execution team came on stage.

The sentry sitting at the stern of the boat glanced at them from time to time. He seemed to be not too old and was full of curiosity.

Feeling the brown-haired sentinel's gaze, Feng Xi looked back politely and showed a decent smile, which neither contained too much emotion nor made anyone feel offended.

The brown-haired sentinel's ears turned red immediately. He was stuck for a long time, and finally said, "Guide Feng, why do you want to come with us as logistics?"

They were adapting to the atmospheric environment, and chatting really helped to adjust their breathing as quickly as possible. Qi Mu just glanced at it without interrupting.

Qi Mu was a little annoyed that the person he was chatting with was not him. He put his hand on Feng Xi's lower back and moved the distance visible to the naked eye without leaving any trace.

Feng Xi looked back, his eyes full of warning. He pulled Qi Mu's wrist forward and pressed it on the sentry's leg, whispering: "Be honest."

However, the brown-haired sentry seemed to have no eyes and was eagerly waiting for an answer.

Feng Xi took a deep breath, "Because in addition to being an assistant, I also serve as a grooming guide."

The brown-haired sentry's mouth opened wide, "Are you our grooming guide?"

Although there are many grooming guides in the military, it is true that those who can follow them on missions It's a minority. They would not force guides whose physical strength is close to that of ordinary people into the battlefield in an emergency.

The companion beside the brown-haired sentry pulled him and coughed as a kind reminder. But the stunned sentry didn't hear it at all. Being able to approach the guide made his forehead smoke, "Are you a wide-area guide?"

Feng Xi politely responded: "No, my matching degree with 90% of the sentries is less than 20."

This The sentence shocked the sentry so much that he couldn't turn around, "2, 20?"

In his impression, if it is below 35, it is impossible to establish a spiritual link. Could this be a grooming guide?

The impact on the outside of the spacecraft interrupted Feng Xi's reply, and Qi Mu's figure flashed past him in the peripheral vision, chasing him out of the cabin.

Learning from the previous team's lesson, they expected an attack early on.

The ones coming are the advanced Zerg tribe.

The black armor shone with light, and the huge sickle feet were swung, about to hit the hull of the ship. The execution team's plasma beam poured down, burning the adult insects to roar briefly.

But the advanced Zerg reacted very quickly. It moved away, and the beam only burned a faint scar on its body.

It saw the sentries going out to fight, and the battle was about to break out.

It also ended quickly.

Qi Mu dropped the suspicious object pulled out of the Zerg head in disgust. The acid did not splash on him at all, but the strong smell of blood could not be dispelled.

When there was no danger, Feng Xi followed the clarification task he had asked in advance, stood next to Qi Mu and handed over a ray of guidance element to comfort him, and gave him a hesitant hug.

The refreshing smell instantly suppressed the smell of blood. Qi Mu stretched out his hands to avoid staining Feng Xi's clothes. He was at a loss. "Um, I'm talking nonsense about the guide obligation. You must not hug other people."

"...I might be jealous."

Feng Xi Xi couldn't help but laugh, "I only believe this nonsense, isn't it because you are a jealous king?"

Otherwise, he would not let the stinky smell of the Zerg get to him.

The brown-haired sentry was stunned, thinking that this was the admiral's grooming guide, he had nothing to do to join in the fun!

He was only a reserve member before and didn't often stay in the military headquarters, so he suffered the disadvantage of never seeing Feng Xi.

After a while, he even had an idea of ​​what to write in his review.

His companion patted his shoulder sympathetically, "Oh, you are still too young."

The brown-haired sentry was a little scared, "Do I have to go apologize to the commander?"

But to be honest, there was something more shocking than the fact that the admiral had a guide. Yes, the admiral is so attached to his guide that it feels like the idol filter is about to break.
