Zhang Mu moved the purchased [Temple of the Dead] and [Lidar] onto the large transport ship.
Of course, the Great Sage Tian Ni's trip would not be in vain. He sold some mature spiritual grasses and magical technological items made by the goblins on the island, and also purchased a sum of seeds, rare animal cubs, etc. It is not advisable to stay in the Crystal Island for a long time, because the longer you stay and the more transactions you participate in, the more likely you are to be targeted by people with evil intentions. Everyone split up and returned to the airport immediately after completing the transaction.
Launched the warship from the airport, activated the stealth sailing mode, and left the Crystal Island.
Every trip to the virtual world is an adventure. Although the Aoki Demon Clan of Crystal Island has suppressed the bandit forces five times and three times, the bandits cannot be swept away. The forces that have been suppressed are just the areas around Crystal Island. The world space is so vast. As the center of communication among the six worlds, countless merchant ships and caravans come and go, which naturally breeds countless ruthless bandits. Or when a powerful caravan encounters a weak caravan, the stronger one will not mind temporarily changing its identity.
Even in the same world, creatures from different planes are fundamentally different. Teams that are half businessmen and half bandits are not uncommon. In the virtual world, one must beware of anyone, even if a team with the same business purpose meets. Unless the strength is equal, the stronger party will inevitably attack the weaker party. Who doesn't want to take a bite of the fat that comes to the door
Time passed by minute by minute.
Several magic warships sailed cautiously. Fortunately, from beginning to end, no warships of other races appeared in the dark and void world.
"There is a space bridge ahead." The Great Sage Tianni also breathed a long sigh of relief. "It is impossible for this location to be attacked, and our journey was very smooth. This trip to the virtual world will provide guidance for the future development and trade of the human race. direction. We cannot take the human race to the virtual world every time. You have also remembered the location of the virtual world gate. In the future, the door to the virtual world will also be opened for the human race. I hope you will use this channel to develop the strength of the race as soon as possible. stand up. "
"Don't worry, the human race will not lose to any race. This is true on the mainland, and it is true in the big world!"
Zhang Mu began to gradually regain his confidence. There were many worries at present, but the prospects were not bad. The virtual world is a good place, and the mysterious shop is secretly helping. It also has a level 3 civilization Zerg base. The human race will soon be able to protect itself in the big world.
The Great Sage Tian Ni was not talking.
Zhang Mu looked outside.
Outside the window, there was nothingness.
This is a feeling that cannot be described in words. It is not pitch black, because "black" itself is a color. There is nothing in the world outside the window, not even "black", only endless nothingness, a mysterious virtual world!
How many unknown worlds are there in the big world
Suddenly, the whole world became dark. Up, down, left, right, southeast, northwest, countless stars emerged with different colors. Some of the nearby ones could barely distinguish the shape of the whirlpool.
"We're back!"
Only then did Lei Ming finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Great Sage Tian Ni said: "You can go back to the ship, let's separate here!"
The Great Sage Tianni was carrying a lot of cargo and was worried about sailing outside. He needed to shorten the voyage, so he said goodbye as soon as he left the space bridge. Zhang Mu and Lei Ming returned to the large transport ship, drove out four medium-sized combat ships from the transport ship's cabin, escorted the warship from the four corners, and began to return to the insect island.
It was a two-day voyage from the Void Gate to the Insect Island. Several warships sailed in the empty void for a day and a half, leaving more than half a day's journey to the Insect Island.
"We are going back to Insect Island soon."
"The harvest this time is not small, I believe everyone will also feel excited."
Zhang Mu and Lei Ming chatted.
at this time.
Sudden.
A shrill alarm sounded from the control room.
Zhang Mu was startled: "What's going on?"
A robot pilot replied in a mechanized voice: "UFOs appeared ahead, numbering more than 10. They stayed in our ship's detection area for 15 seconds. They are suspected to be moving at high speed, and the target is heading towards the island."
Zhang Mu frowned.
More than 10 large ships swept past the edge of the detection range.
This is definitely not a good thing!
Lei Ming stood up and said, "It's not our ship. The warships on the Insect Island can't fly that far!"
Zhang Mu quickly asked the boat to slow down. Fortunately, the other party was in a hurry and did not notice several boats. "Analyze the speed of the UFO."
The robot completed the calculation instantly and said: "About 312 times the speed of sound."
Zhang Mu was certain that it was definitely not a ship on the insect island. Because there are not many second-generation engine warships on the insect island, most of them are first-generation magic power ships. In any case, they cannot reach more than 300 times the speed of sound. These more than ten warships are undoubtedly foreigners, and their level is not high. The low-end foreigners are at least faster than the mainland's second-generation warships.
"Can we catch up?"
"The unknown warship's speed is too fast for our ship to catch up."
Lei Ming suddenly said: "I bought a set of lidar from the mysterious store. Now may be the time to put it into use. The lidar can detect everything within 5 light seconds. Although the opponent's ship is not slow, it certainly has not left the range of 5 light seconds. !”
Lidar consumes a lot of energy and is suitable for use on mother ships. However, the energy of a large ship is enough to last for a period of time. Zhang Mu ordered the robot to start the lidar directly.
A light wave that is indistinguishable to the naked eye is released, and in about 10 seconds, the information is fed back. LiDAR instantly performs imaging in the void based on the conditions of the scanned objects. Judging from the pattern, Insect Island should have encountered bandits. This team has more than a dozen large ships and about a hundred medium-sized ships. Each ship is in tatters and looks like it has been used for a long time. In addition, there are a large number of skull-like or death-like symbols, magic circles, runes, etc. painted on the ship.
There are spiritual ships and mysterious ships, but the models are not unified, and the whole thing is a hodgepodge.
Zhang Mu stared at the center of more than a dozen large ships. It was a huge biological ship, like a giant wingless cicada. Its huge limbs were swinging slowly and it was moving forward at an extremely fast speed. "The Zerg ship... is bad." !”
Finally got it.
Those intelligent Zerg that were driven away by the Continental Alliance are back to take revenge!
Zhang Mu frowned. These ships are generally second-generation ships, which are a little more advanced than the mainland's second-generation warships. As for the strange insect more than 500 feet in the middle, I am afraid it is a third-generation biological ship. If this fleet is against the insect The island launched an attack, leaving the fragile defenses that the humans had just established vulnerable to a single blow.
There is no chance of winning this kind of war!
"Tip: There are new tasks released, please check back!"
The moment Zhang Mu discovered the Zerg warship, the Overlord finally issued another mission!
Zhang Mu felt relieved when he saw the master issuing a mission. Since the master would issue a mission, it proved that there was still hope. The task of domination may be very arduous, but it will definitely leave a glimmer of hope for the human race.
——
[Mission Name]: Revenge of the Zerg.
[Task Nature]: Trigger the task.
[Mission Content]: The Zerg royal family wants to retake the base, and the wandering Zerg alliance is preparing to launch a war on the island.
[Special Note]: The Zerg are still gathering. The current number is 120,000, and it is expected to reach a total of 800,000 in the future. The enemy is equipped with third-generation warships and third-generation biological weapons.
[Mission Objective]: Defense for 72 hours!
[Task Reward 1]: 100,000 world coins.
[Task Reward 2]: Randomly obtain spiritual beasts, grain, or other development items.
[Task Reward 3]: Unknown!
[Failure Penalty]: None
——
The rewards for this mission are very generous, including a huge reward of 100,000 in Light World Coins. There is also a random reward and an unknown reward. There is no penalty for failing the mission, and of course there is no need for punishment. If the insect island falls, it would be strange if the insect tribe did not chop the humans into pieces and use them as fertilizer.
"There is more than one enemy!"
Lei Ming suddenly shouted in shock.
The laser radar continued to scan, and several more fleets appeared. The fleets ranged in size from large to small, with as large as a dozen warships like before, and smaller fleets with one or two large ships. After the extraterritorial headquarters of these Zerg tribes were destroyed and massacred by stronger civilizations, they fled to various places and had no contact with each other for more than ten years.
The only royal family of the Zerg tribe, they spent ten years searching in the long world and finally obtained some tribesmen.
The strong men of the royal family have also attracted 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and the total number of extraterritorial intelligent Zerg that can be contacted is estimated to be around 800,000.
The Green Alliance's overseas headquarters, even including scientific research, planting, and breeding personnel, has a population of less than 3 million. There are only 4,000 humans on the Insect Island. Even if you include the fighting machines, the Temple Army, and the Heavenly Punishment Army sent by the Continental Alliance, the total number is less than 50,000.
There are 800,000 enemies!
The Zerg have some third-generation weapons in their hands, which are enough to attack the alliance's extraterritorial headquarters, let alone the Zerg Island.
Lei Ming frowned and said: "I don't see any hope in this kind of battle! Even if the enemy uses one-tenth of their strength, or even one percent, it will be difficult for us to resist. After all, they have three generations of weapons. Let’s not talk about weapons, not even a decent headquarters has been built on the island!”
Zhang Mu didn't think so.
The Overlord requires the human race to defend for 72 hours!
How to defend
Zhang Mu was silent for a few seconds and said: "We are about to enter the communication range. Contact Insect Island immediately to tell everyone not to act rashly!"
Lei Ming said: "Let's contact the Alliance. Only the Continental Alliance can save us."
"It's too late." Zhang Mu frowned and said, "We may not be able to save, we may not dare to save!" He stared at the map displayed on the radar and said, "Find some forces that are relatively close and relatively weak."
Lei Ming didn't know what Zhang Mu was thinking, but he quickly found one, "This one is just a large ship, plus two medium-sized ships. It probably doesn't have third-generation weapons. They are not far from us, and they will be within each other's attack range soon." It’s within.”
Zhang Mu drew out the Black Prison Sword, "Then let's take it! Prepare the weapon immediately!"
Lei Ming didn't know why Zhang Mu didn't rush back, but wanted to sneak attack the Zerg. However, he didn't have the habit of questioning Zhang Mu's orders, so he immediately followed it. One large transport ship, four medium-sized battleships, all second-generation magic ships, and the foreign ships are all special ships. Even the transport ships have very strong firepower.
Zhang Mu did not stay in the ship, but drove a small ship and got out of the transport ship first.
