The fire in the inner city had a greater impact than anyone had imagined. The troops in the inner city were almost all out, eager to plow through the entire b3024 planet inch by inch.
There were even many vagrants with suspicious behavior who were forcibly taken away by the guards for interrogation. They only saw people going in but never coming out.
For a time, everyone outside the city felt insecure and stayed at home if possible.
As a result, the repair shop's business became much quieter. Fortunately, Ruan Shiqing no longer relied on the repair shop to make money. He took the opportunity to let the Xiong brothers take a vacation to look after the house, while he and 09 stayed in the factory laboratory, testing new weapons over and over again.
—The second-generation armored walker has been designed and will be put into production after rigorous testing.
After sending the kids to school every day, Ruan Shiqing would go to the laboratory to work. When it was time for the kids to get out of school, he would pick them up and go home together.
This afternoon, after finishing work, Ruan Shiqing drove the landing craft slowly towards the school.
The originally sunny weather turned cloudy not long after he left the house.
Ruan Shiqing leaned over to take a look at the dark clouds above his head and wondered, "Why is the sky so cloudy today?"
The atmosphere of b3024 is controlled by artificial satellites, so the atmosphere is predictable and rarely changes suddenly.
"I haven't received any notification about the rainfall today." 09 in the passenger seat also leaned out to look.
The artificial sun that emitted light and heat was blocked by thick dark clouds. The dark clouds were gradually expanding and pressing down on the ground.
09 He stared at it for a moment, and the red scanner on the display automatically turned on. After a few seconds, he said in a trembling voice: "That's not a dark cloud!"
At the same time, in the school, Ruan Jiao looked up into the sky frequently, waving his tentacles restlessly.
He looked around anxiously, only to find the little mermaid reading under the shade of a tree. She tugged at his clothes anxiously, pointed at him, and said in a not-so-fluent way, "Here, here!"
"What's coming?" The little mermaid looked up at the sky, but saw nothing. There were only a few thick dark clouds blocking the sunlight, and the sky gradually became gloomy.
"Is it going to rain?"
Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Ruan Jiao shook his head vigorously, pointed at the growing dark clouds, and tried hard to recall the words he had learned: "Insect, insect!"
The little mermaid looked at him in surprise, with a puzzled look.
At the same time, the dark clouds above his head were getting bigger and bigger. Rong Heng, who was originally lying on the tree to hide in the sun, opened his eyes unhappily and looked up at the sky.
When he saw the dark clouds, his expression suddenly changed.
He jumped down from the tree swiftly, not caring about being seen. He transformed into human form, took out the communicator and contacted Mo Xi.
Mo Xi obviously didn't notice anything unusual, and his voice was brisk.
"Look above your head and prepare for battle immediately." Rong Heng's face was solemn and he gave the order in a deep voice.
Confused, Mo Xin opened the window, and when he saw the dark things in the sky outside, his eyes trembled - anyone who had been to the front-line battlefield would know that it was not a dark cloud at all, but a huge Zerg.
Among the Zerg's combat soldiers, there is a type of Zerg that has wings and is good at flying. Whenever a war breaks out, these combat soldiers who are good at flying lead the charge, forming a huge mass known as the "Zerg Cloud".
He put away his relaxed attitude and became extremely serious: "Yes, Your Highness!"
After ending the call neatly, Rong Heng strode to the playground to look for the cubs. He first saw the little mermaid and Ruan Jiao under the shade of the tree, picked them up in each hand, and asked, "Where are He Xi and Nota?"
The little mermaid was confused and pointed to the right.
Rong Heng didn't bother to explain. He picked up the cub and hurried to find the other cub.
Halfway along the way, he met Hector, who was holding a struggling cub under his armpit, his face looking equally heavy.
"Go back to the repair shop first?" Hector asked.
Rong Heng wanted to go find Ruan Shiqing first, but looking at the other bewildered cubs on the playground, he hesitated for a moment and said, "It's too late. Notify the school immediately and ask them to find a place to take shelter."
With so many cubs, the school simply cannot protect them with the manpower available.
The two of them carried the cub and rushed to the principal's office together.
On the way, Rong Heng called Ruan Shiqing again. When he learned that the other party had also found something unusual and was rushing to school, he stopped his impulse: "Return to the factory immediately, turn on the shield and wait. Mo Xin has already rushed over. Xiao and Hector are already in school, please take good care of the cubs."
Ruan Shiqing wanted to say something, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
He looked up at the "insect cloud" that was getting lower and lower in the sky, gritted his teeth, and finally chose to listen to Mr. Rong's words and turned back to the factory: "09, estimate how long it will take them to reach the ground."
09 measured the speed of the cloud and the current distance, and came to a not-so-optimistic conclusion: "They are moving very fast. It will take at most fifteen minutes."
In just fifteen minutes, this group of terrifying Zerg will reach the ground.
"Go back to the factory immediately!" After handing over the driving rights to 09, Ruan Shiqing contacted the factory manager and asked him to activate the protective shield immediately. Fortunately, he discovered the abnormality just after leaving the factory, so it only took him five minutes to rush back.
The landspeeder rushed into the factory at high speed. Ruan Shiqing jumped off and rushed to the control room. He turned up the loudspeaker to the maximum: "Attention all residents of B3024! Attention all residents of B3024! A large number of Zerg will arrive on the ground in nine minutes. A large number of Zerg will arrive on the ground in nine minutes. Everyone, find shelter as soon as possible. Residents near the arsenal can rush to the arsenal for refuge as soon as possible!"
After setting the loudspeaker to play the audio repeatedly, Ruan Shiqing didn't even have time to take a breath before he immediately began to check the shield system and energy supply.
On the other side, Rong Heng and Hector had already found Principal Dude and explained the situation briefly.
Looking at the cloud of insects that kept moving in the air and blocked out the sun, Dude's lips trembled. He swallowed his saliva and said, "There are several basements in the school where we can take refuge. Take us there."
Hector stuffed Hector and Nota into Rong Heng's arms: "You go first, I'll go and gather the other cubs."
The group split up and went their separate ways. Rong Heng followed the principal to the basement, put the cubs down and told them not to go out. Then he immediately rushed out again to help Hector get all the cubs outside into the basement.
The cubs were having an activity class when the insect cloud appeared.
It took the locals and the school teachers five minutes to count the number of cubs and send all of them into the basement.
The basement was noisy and the cubs, not knowing what was going on, thought they were playing a game and became extremely excited.
Rong Heng moved his hands and feet, exchanged a glance with Hector, and said to the other apprentices: "Those who can fight, take your weapons and go out with us. Leave the three of you to take care of the cubs."
Led by the principal, the very strong and sturdy Bisi people were the first to stand up.
The group left the basement and came to the playground. They couldn't help swallowing as they looked at the Zerg right in front of them.
—At that time, the Zerg were about to reach the ground. The huge Zerg waved its wings, with scarlet compound eyes and sharp limbs.
Rong Heng raced against time to call Dares: "How long will it take for you to arrive?"
Dares said briskly: "The longest one is five days, the shortest one is three days."
Rong Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the Zerg that was getting closer and closer. He turned the camera so that he could see the current situation clearly and said, "Give them some time to get there."
"Fuck! Why are there so many Zergs?" There was a sound of something falling from Dares's side.
Rong Heng didn't have time to say anything more. He hung up the phone, put away his computer, transformed into Ymir's complete form, and rushed towards the first group of Zerg that arrived.
"You guys stand guard behind us and don't let the Zerg get close to the basement." Hector gave instructions and transformed into a huge black dragon, heading towards the huge Zerg.
The white Ymir and the black dragons were instantly surrounded by huge numbers of Zerg.
The men stepped on the Zerg corpses, divided the battle area among themselves, and each occupied one side.
Ymir moved as fast as the wind. Some of those ferocious Zergs couldn't even touch his fur before their heads were flattened by their sharp claws. He shook off the blood from the claws unhappily and Rong Heng turned his head and said, "It seems these Zergs are coming for the school."
The black dragon spread its wings and flew low, the sharp bone spurs on its wings piercing through the Zergs one by one. He raised his claws to slap away a Zerg that was rushing towards him, and Hector looked up at the sky, and found that it was indeed as Rong Heng said, a huge number of Zergs gathered together, blocking out the sun.
But this huge cloud of insects went nowhere but hovered over the school, falling down in batches.
"Fuck! Is there a queen of insects hiding in this school? They are so crazy!"
"You'll know after you kill them all." Rong Heng raised his claws and slapped a Zerg to death, his eyes stern.
Although the ancient behemoth was invincible, it still could not withstand the Zerg's numerical offensive.
After killing one wave, another wave comes.
In just half an hour, the corpses of the Zerg had piled up into a thick layer on the ground. But even so, there were still countless Zergs hovering in the sky.
Ymir's white fur was dyed green by the insect blood, and the black dragon's scales were also covered with flowing blood.
Hector spat and couldn't help but curse, "How long will this killing last?"
There are so many Zergs that they cannot kill them all just by themselves.
Meanwhile, the cubs who were placed in the basement were connected to the monitoring system through the master's intelligent brain to check the situation on the ground.
The excited cubs were frightened into silence by the ferocious Zerg, and some timid cubs even covered their eyes and dared not look any further. Only the cubs in the front row stared at the battlefield intently.
Watching the huge beast fighting in and out of the insect swarm several times, the little dragon cub, with his head tilted back, felt the blood in his body boiling.
A majestic and deep dragon roar came from the intelligent brain. The other cubs couldn't help but cover their ears. The little dragon cub felt that the two horns on his forehead and the bat wings behind him were getting hot.
The golden dragon pupils seemed to sense the call of its bloodline and gradually turned into dark gold. The little dragon cub couldn't help but raise its head and let out a loud dragon roar.
The cruel battlefield and the call of blood aroused the latent fighting instinct in his body—every dragon was a born warrior, they grew up bathed in blood and fire.
The little dragon spread its wings, turned its head and said to the other cubs, "We need to get out."
The master wanted to stop him, but Hector, who heard the dragon's roar, shouted, "Let him out."
So the little dragon cub resolutely left the basement under the gaze of all the cubs.
The golden dragon pupils and blood were burning, and the dragon cub's body continued to grow larger. By the time it arrived at the playground, it had returned to its original size of about ten meters in height.
Compared to the adult Black Dragon and Ymir, he still looked immature, but to these Zerg, he was already qualified to step onto the battlefield.
The young dragon let out an angry roar, and the bat wings behind it vibrated, and it rushed into the insect swarm.
"Follow me." Hector fended off the Zerg attacking from the side for him: "See how you hunt these disgusting things."
Before he finished speaking, he had already torn a Zerg into half.
—Adult dragons have extremely hard scales, and the attack of a single Zerg cannot hurt them.
The young dragon followed his example and grabbed the Zerg that tried to attack it, but found that it did not have the strength to tear the Zerg's shell in half. It could only grit its teeth and twist off the Zerg's head.
Rong Heng turned around and saw all this, and sneered: "You can teach a cub like this? You can only use brute force, without any sense of aesthetics."
After saying this, he pushed off the ground with his hind paws, jumped up, and pierced a Zerg with the horns on his head: "When you don't have enough strength, you must be good at using your body as a weapon." While teaching the cub, he ejected his knife-like claws and cut off the head of a Zerg.
The young dragons learned their methods and began to hunt the Zerg.
From clumsy movements at the beginning to increasingly smooth ones.
The corpses of the Zerg were spread out on the ground layer by layer.
On the other side, in the basement, it only took the cubs an hour to go from being terrified to excited.
The bravery of the young dragons inspired them greatly. The crying cubs stopped crying and stared at the virtual image without blinking.
At this time, the ground was shaking. Ruan Jiao was the first to feel something was wrong. He pointed at the wall of the basement and said anxiously, "Insects! Here they come!"
The little mermaid finally understood what he meant this time and quickly typed a translation: "There are Zerg over there."
The three remaining masters protected the cubs behind them and pointed their guns at the vibrating wall.
The basement shook slightly, and the dust on the ceiling fell down. The wall that had been resisting for a long time finally collapsed, and huge Zerg crawled out from the ground, staring at them with its scarlet compound eyes.
