A corner of the basement wall had already collapsed and was still shaking. The damaged area was getting bigger and bigger, and finally the whole wall collapsed completely, revealing the densely packed Zerg outside the wall.
Countless clear red compound eyes stared at the cubs in the basement.
They had only seen these huge, ferocious creatures in the news about the front-line battlefields before, but now that they were face to face, they finally realized how terrifying the Zerg were.
A single Zerg will not make people lose the courage to resist, but tens of thousands of Zerg will.
The feeling of being stared at by countless pairs of compound eyes is enough to defeat an ordinary person with a strong will.
The master who was blocking the front with a gun in hand resisted and took a half step back. His arm holding the gun was trembling slightly, but he gritted his teeth and did not retreat.
The cubs huddled together, already crying out of fear.
Only the little mermaid and the little fox remained calm. They took attacking postures and glared at the Zerg fiercely.
The leading Zerg waved its limbs, took a step forward, lowered its ferocious head, and let out a low, hoarse hissing sound with its sharp mouthparts.
"If the basement collapses, we have to run, run forward as fast as we can, and never look back."
If they fought to the death, the children would still have a chance to escape, but I'm afraid none of them would run away. The teacher who taught the interstellar universal language was an ancient human. He pinched the only button and gritted his teeth to press the button.
Suddenly, someone pulled his arm. He paused and turned around to find that the person pulling him was Ruan Jiao.
This is a quiet cub, very introverted, and has just learned to speak.
The master wanted him to go back, but found that Ruan Jiao took another step forward.
The tentacles on his forehead no longer waved anxiously, but stood upright. His dark red eyes became darker as he stared straight at those horrible Zerg.
His movements were still slow and his steps were not big, but the Zerg troops that were ready to attack seemed to be frightened. They danced their limbs and retreated continuously, even a little panicked.
Ruan Jiao walked to the front and blocked the Zerg army alone. A hoarse and broken hissing sound came from his throat. If you listened carefully, you would find that the frequency and rhythm were very similar to that made by the Zerg group.
The leading Zerg half-stood up and waved its limbs continuously. It wanted to attack him several times, but seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to take any real action.
The skinny little cub stood straight in front, without a single moment of fear in his eyes, and actually revealed an air of superiority.
"He, this is..." The masters looked horrified, and finally shut their mouths when they looked at the Zerg who were in a stalemate and even had a tendency to retreat.
They took this opportunity to send a distress signal to the ground, and began to send the cubs out one by one from the windows at the back.
Some Zerg noticed the movements of the cubs and wanted to take a detour to chase them, but Ruan Jiao let out a high-pitched and sharp hiss again, and the Zerg he wanted to chase fell to the ground in an instant, and could only struggle and wave his limbs.
At the same time, rescue finally arrived.
Lan Xin and Rong Heng arrived at the same time. They exchanged glances, stood with their backs to each other, and began to clean up the Zerg that were holding on.
"Jiaojiao! Let's go!" Seeing the situation, the little fox behind rushed up and pulled Ruan Jiao, who was standing still, to run, but Ruan Jiao fell down limply.
The little fox was startled and could only half-hold him and drag him to the window.
The little mermaid followed beside, running around in a panic, but she used only half of her strength and bit her lip with her teeth.
Fortunately, after handing the cubs out, the master finally got out of the way and took over the exhausted Ruan Jiao. The three cubs went out of the window and followed the masters to quickly move their positions.
—This basement is filled with countless Zergs. It won't last long before it collapses.
While Rong Heng was cleaning up the Zerg, he talked to Lan Xin: "Why didn't you leave?"
"We left, but encountered a swarm of insects on the way." According to the agreement between the two, Lansing will leave the b3024 planet and disappear for a while, creating the illusion that he was ambushed and hijacked by others, and then find a suitable opportunity to pretend to have escaped the pursuit and return to the Sijialan planet.
As for killing Lai and hunting down his murderer, he and Rong Heng reached a consensus—His Majesty the new Emperor, Si Yan.
After the death of the crown prince, the Ymir clan was extinct.
Even though Si Yan held the position of regent and had an alliance with Seyaba, winning over Baba to support his ascension to the throne, the decline of the royal family was an indisputable fact.
In the past, the mermaids and the nine-tailed foxes had to hold back their dissatisfaction because of the pressure from the Ymir clan. Now that an ancient human has become emperor, they will not be so polite.
The conflict between the three ancient tribes and the new emperor has a tendency to escalate, and the mermaid tribe is the most obvious, so Si Yan is pushed out to take the blame, and the Sijia Blue Star will definitely not be suspicious. They may even be happy to have another reason to oppose the Si Yan government.
Lansing had originally planned to leave planet B3024 today and then go to some remote planet to hide for a while, but he didn't expect that the shuttle would hit the insect cloud just after it took off.
He realized the danger and rushed to the repair shop immediately, but he came to find nothing. There was no one in the repair shop. Finally, he saw the Zerg army gathering in the direction of the cub school, and then he came over.
"Since you haven't left, you can help kill the bugs."
A mighty dragon roar came from the ground. Hector and the little dragon cub were struggling to fend off the ground insects. Hector had already started to curse: "If you have time to chat, why don't you hurry up and kill the insects!"
"I'll leave this to you." Rong Heng knocked over a few Zergs with one claw and rushed to the ground again.
Lansing cleaned up the remaining Zergs. Seeing that some Zergs were still trying to drill under, he curled his lips coldly, took out a torpedo and threw it into the pile of Zergs.
With the sound of the explosion, all the Zergs including the basement were blown to pieces.
Lansing put away his knife and chased in the direction the cubs were retreating.
Ruan Jiao, who was exhausted, woke up halfway. Some of the frightened cubs had already learned to run. The three trainees held a cub in each hand and had to take care of the cubs in front, behind and behind, and kept urging them to keep up.
Ruan Jiao struggled to get off the ground and didn't let the master hold him anymore. He had just recovered his strength and was not running very fast. The little fox and the little mermaid each held one of his hands and led him to follow at the end of the team.
Nota's ears stood up alertly. While encouraging him, she paid attention to the surrounding environment. When she passed a corner, she suddenly stopped and looked behind.
With its ten fluffy tails hanging down nervously, the little fox blocked the two cubs behind it, bared its teeth and let out a fierce growl. The Zerg that had been following them emerged from the shadows, waving its sharp claws and approaching.
Ruan Jiao hissed, trying to scare him, but his tentacles fell limply in front of his forehead.
The approaching Zerg was taller than any previous Zerg, waving its sharp claws. It ignored Ruan Jiao's warnings and continued to move closer step by step.
The tentacles on its forehead were turning with ease, as if it was determined to get the three cubs.
Nota showed his claws, gathered strength in his hind legs, and kept making low growls in his throat.
The cold silver pupils gradually turned a light red from the edges.
The tall Zerg stared at her, and the moment she pounced on him, he swung out his sharp claws.
The ten tails at the back suddenly burst out like flames, and the little fox bit the weak connection of the claws and actually bit off the Zerg's hard claws.
The claws broke off and fell to the ground. The Zerg roared angrily and waved its limbs wildly, determined to kill the young cub who overestimated its own capabilities.
But the little fox didn't give in at all. She raised her eyes, and spat out a mouthful of blood and broken teeth, but her momentum didn't lose at all.
The little mermaid took Ruan Jiao and hid behind a pillar. He took out the micro blaster his father had given him, aimed at the opponent's vulnerable eyes, and fired.
A beam of high-temperature energy shot out instantly and hit one of the Zerg's compound eyes. The Zerg let out an even more angry hiss, and the pain made it even more crazy.
The sharp claws stabbed the little fox fiercely. While the little fox was dodging, the next moment, the two prepared limbs stabbed her again. This time the little fox was unable to dodge, and was stabbed in the abdomen and thrown against the wall.
The bright red blood spread out, and the little fox fell to the ground dying.
The little mermaid's eyes were red, but she still gritted her teeth and fired one after another.
But this time, the Zerg was already on guard, so it was not so easy to hit. It dodged the high-temperature energy beam and rushed towards the two people waving its limbs -
The little mermaid opened her eyes wide, and the Zerg shadow grew bigger and bigger in her blue eyes.
His arms were shaking, his palms were heating up from the continuous firing, the blaster was burning red, and his arms were numb from the recoil, but even so, he still protected Ruan Jiao behind him.
He had never hated himself so much for being weak. If... if he could be as strong as 074, he could protect Nota and Ruan Jiao.
The little mermaid forced herself to hold the blaster tightly and aimed as best she could.
But after a few breaths, the Zerg had arrived in front of them, raising their sharp limbs -
"It's time to end it." Lansing's voice suddenly sounded. He held a Tang sword in his hand and easily cut off the Zerg's head.
The huge Zerg corpse fell down, stirring up dust.
The little mermaid opened her eyes wide, and before she could rejoice in her escape from death, she hurriedly operated the cart to check on Nota's condition.
Nota was in a very bad condition, he had fallen into a coma, and the penetrating wound in his abdomen was still bleeding.
The little mermaid had seen emergency methods of stopping bleeding in a book. He took off his shirt, forced himself to calm down, and recalled the methods in the book to bandage her bleeding.
Lansing stood behind him, but did not offer a hand to help: "Do you hate yourself for being useless?" He patted the auxiliary mobility stroller and said sarcastically: "The strength of the mermaid race is not worse than any other race, even though we are just artificial mermaids. But your weakness allows this race to exert one ten-thousandth of its strength."
He fixed his eyes on the dying little fox and sighed, "Even the lowest-level hybrids of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan are stronger than you."
"As a cub growing up alone forever, you can indeed avoid many things, but when you or the people around you are in danger, you will be so helpless. Do you really want to be alone to protect your cub for the rest of your life?" His voice became lower and full of temptation.
The little mermaid paused and turned around. Her sapphire eyes were exactly the same cold as his.
He thought.
