Ruan Xinqing connected with 09 and shared the location distribution map of the remaining Zerg with him. He also contacted Xiong Yuanyuan, who was in charge of notifying people, and asked him to bring as many people as possible to surround these Zerg in a larger circle to prevent any Zerg from escaping.
After doing all this, Ruan Qing looked at the slowly moving red dot on the screen, aimed again, and fired.
The explosion of the blaster cannon sounded in the distance, and the huge Zerg screamed and rolled out from the pile of metal garbage it was hiding in. Ruan Xinqing took aim again, fired another shot without hesitation, and then headed for the next red dot.
Almost at the same time as him, 09 also killed a Zerg, and he and his troops split into two groups to kill the Zerg.
After five Zergs died in succession, the remaining six Zergs hiding in the dark seemed to realize something and no longer sat there waiting to die, but came out from their hiding places.
The six Zergs split into two groups, three to deal with Ruan Xiqing, and three to deal with 09 in the air.
Ruan Xinqing carefully observed these strange creatures. They all had a hard shell, a flat body, many legs, and scarlet compound eyes.
And it seemed to have acquired some intelligence, not just rushing forward to attack blindly.
The appearance of these Zergs was enough to make people shudder. He couldn't imagine how the soldiers on the front battlefield would feel when facing countless huge monsters.
His fingers tapped deftly on the controls, and the armored walker took a step forward, aiming its guns at the nearest Zerg.
The Zerg seemed to understand the power of the artillery fire, and did not choose to escape. Instead, it waved its long limbs and rushed towards the armored walker.
At the same moment, Ruan Xinqing fired a blaster, and the scorching fire pierced through the Zerg's head.
The huge Zerg fell to the ground, rolling over and screaming in pain. Ruan Xinqing was just about to fire another shot when the armored walker was suddenly hit hard.
The cockpit vibrated, and there were dull, rapid blows.
—The other two Zergs took advantage of Ruan Xiqing's attack to get close to the armored walker. One jumped onto the top and continuously attacked the armor plate with its fangs and sharp limb ends, while the other attacked the relatively weak mechanical legs of the armored walker.
This kind of cooperation made Ruan Xinqing more and more convinced that these Zergs were capable of thinking, and they even knew how to use strategies.
Sacrifice one companion, and the other two will take the opportunity to attack him.
His fingers quickly tapped the control keys, and the steel behemoth spun deftly under his control, beating the Zerg on top. Then several sharp spiral knives extended from its mechanical legs. The spiral knives made of titanium steel spun at high speed, like a meat grinder, crushing half of the Zerg's head.
The Zerg that was thrown out pounced on him again. The death of their companions completely aroused their ferocity. They rushed towards Ruan Xinqing waving their limbs, but their heads were smashed by a cannon at a distance of two meters.
Ruan Xinqing had just finished the battle when the voice of communication channel 09 rang out: "Go ahead, 09 has completed the mission."
After turning off the anti-gravity device and slowly landing on the ground, the little robot danced with excitement. If the occasion was not inappropriate, he would even want to sing and dance.
But he soon stopped being happy. In the dim moonlight, he found that his carefully maintained mechanical body had many new damages and scratches.
The little robot angrily stepped on the Zerg on the ground and said angrily: "These things are really annoying."
Ruan Xinqing got off the armored walker, looked at the Zerg corpses for a while, and said to Xiong Yuanyuan who had rushed over after receiving the news: "Carry all these corpses back to the city."
Xiong Yuanyuan and his men rushed over from a distance. Seeing these huge Zerg creatures with horrible deaths, they said with fear in their voice: "I thought this would be a bloody battle."
When he asked for help, many people said that there were Zerg on planet b3024, and they would rather hide in the cave than come out. In the end, only a few people were willing to help after his lobbying.
Everyone picked up their life-saving weapons and prepared for a decisive battle with the Zerg.
However, he did not expect that none of the guys he brought with him were of any use. Instead, he only watched a wonderful battle from a distance.
The steel behemoth faced off against the huge and terrifying Zerg, but it was not inferior at all and even had the upper hand!
The people who came to help were amazed at the armored walkers, and some even sighed, "If this kind of weapon is sent to the front line, it will be able to kill all the Zerg sooner or later, right?"
It's said without meaning, but the reader has intention.
Ruan Xinqing's eyes moved and he explained, "The number of Zerg on the front line is much greater than this. If an armored walker is surrounded by swarms of Zerg, it will be easy for it to be restricted in its movement and fall into trouble."
Just like he said, a single Zerg is not scary, what is scary is the Zerg in groups.
But if you increase the size and weight... it's not completely impossible.
Ruan Xinqing temporarily suppressed his thoughts and said, "There are infrared detectors in the store. Everyone will get one later. Tonight, we will check the outer city to make sure there are no fish that have slipped through the net."
Naturally, those who came to help responded without hesitation. They helped Xiong Yuanyuan transport the Zerg corpses back to the repair shop, and they also received infrared detectors and went to other places to investigate.
The corpses of the twelve Zerg occupied half of the front yard. The landspeeders and speeders were parked outside the yard.
Xiong Fangfang, who stayed behind to look after the cubs, looked at the piled-up hideous insect corpses and said in fear, "Why are there so many Zerg on planet B3024?"
"Not sure." Ruan Xinqing shook his head: "The news didn't say that the frontline defense line collapsed."
There are four front-line regions in the Galactic Empire, namely Syracuse in the northeast region, Tingis in the southeast region, Ota in the northwest region, and Melches in the southwest region.
The four front-line regions form a complete line of defense, protecting the entire Galactic Empire.
In the millennium-long battle between the Galactic Empire and the Zerg, both sides had their wins and losses, but even when the Galactic Empire suffered the most tragic defeat, this line of defense had never been breached.
Although the b3024 star is remote, it is located within the central region.
The fact that these Zergs crossed the defense lines of the front-line area and penetrated deep into the central area was full of strangeness.
Ruan Xiqing pinched the bridge of her nose and prepared to contact Rong Xianxi.
The quiet and silent cub tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Perhaps due to the influence of the moonlight, the cub's eyes were redder than usual, and the tentacles on its forehead were swaying rapidly, making it look a little restless.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Ruan Qing asked.
He thought the cub was frightened by the hideous insect corpses.
The cub shook his head, tugged at his sleeve anxiously, pointed to the southwest, and then pointed upwards.
Ruan Xinqing couldn't understand what he meant, so she could only squat down patiently and rub his head: "What do you want to say?"
The tentacles on the cub's forehead moved faster and faster. He pointed at the Zerg corpses piled in the yard and was about to make the next move when the constantly moving tentacles suddenly stopped.
After a moment, the creature looked up at the top of its head, and its tentacles drooped down.
The tiny cub hung its head, looking very helpless and depressed.
Ruan Xiqing comforted him for a long time before he finally calmed down a little.
After placing the cub on the small chair designated for the workplace, Ruan Xinqing dialed Rong Xianda's number.
After receiving the call from Ruan Xiqing, Rong Heng was teaching the two cubs fighting skills in the operations room. He changed into a black tight combat suit. The very elastic material outlined his powerful muscles, which made the two cubs envious.
During the return journey, Rong Heng deliberately slowed down the sailing speed in order to train three more cubs.
Hector was responsible for teaching the fighter piloting skills, while Rong Heng was responsible for combat training.
Before the communication rang, an adult and two children had already trained the two children in the operations room.
"Take a five-minute break." Rong Heng withdrew his hand and picked up the smart computer that was ringing non-stop beside him.
After seeing the name on the display clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly straightened his clothes and strode out of the lounge, leaving only a sentence "free half an hour".
He Li sat on the ground panting, leaned over to look at his back, and asked curiously, "Is this a call from Dad?"
"Didn't they say that we can't video chat with dad on the battleship?" Nota pouted: "Maybe there is another urgent mission."
After hurriedly entering the lounge, closing the door, and carefully tidying up his clothes, Rong Heng answered the call.
Ruan Xiqing's virtual image appeared in the lounge, with an obviously solemn expression.
"Did something happen?" Rong Heng's smiling lips gradually straightened and he became serious.
"Yeah." Ruan Xiqing responded solemnly, and then told him what happened tonight.
He described the encounter with the Zerg in detail, then turned the camera to the pile of Zerg corpses in the yard, and then said solemnly: "I think you should come back as soon as possible to take a look..."
As a military man, he believed that Mr. Rong should be able to understand the seriousness of the matter.
After seeing these huge Zerg corpses, Rong Heng's expression really became solemn. He didn't say much, but just said: "It's not clear in the communication. I will try my best to get back within today." After hesitating for a moment, he said: "If someone from the inner city comes to look for you, don't go with them easily."
Ruan Xinqing nodded and ended the call worriedly.
The cub sat down beside his legs, leaning sideways against them and rubbing against them gently.
After ending the communication, Rong Heng immediately rushed to the cockpit.
Mori, who was in charge of driving, had turned on the automatic navigation mode and was playing games leisurely.
Seeing him coming, she put away her smart brain, stood up and saluted: "I'll wait for you first."
"Zerg have appeared on planet B3024. We must rush back as soon as possible." Rong Heng took over his position and called Noah: "Noah, call up the star map along the way and plan the best route. At the same time, notify the transport ship in the rear to speed up."
Mori was still in shock until the battleship suddenly accelerated and he staggered. Only then did he react and said in surprise: "How could there be Zerg on planet B3024?"
The frontline area is a defense line built with the flesh and blood of countless soldiers. They risked their lives to defend the peace and tranquility of the empire's rear.
Over the years, no Zerg has ever broken through the defense line.
"This is impossible," he muttered, slumping into the passenger seat.
Rong Heng glanced at him and said coldly: "Nothing is impossible. After fighting the Zerg for so many years, you should have discovered that they have become smarter."
Although the Zerg used to be powerful and numerous, they had no wisdom and could not think. They could completely rely on their intellectual advantage to trap them on the front line.
But if these bugs become smart, they will have many ways to bypass the defense and sneak into the rear.
"You'll know when you get back home."
Increasing the battleship's speed to its maximum, Rong Heng suddenly became as cold as ice.
