Interstellar Super Planter

Chapter 1120 The first mission

High risk brings high reward. After half a year, many mercenaries have earned a large amount of star coins, attracting many who were originally hesitant to join in. What is there to fear about danger? As long as you can make money, there are plenty of people who are not afraid of death. Poverty is more terrifying than death.

Upon arriving at the planet, the military left half of its warships to defend it in case of emergencies, while the soldiers and mercenaries on the remaining warships all disembarked.

Using the warship's scanning system, the legion's squads landed directly in areas densely populated with Zerg and launched an attack.

Scattered mercenaries and various mercenary groups landed at their respective mission locations and began their operations.

Cities with few agricultural plants are mostly farms, and there are not many people living there, so the situation is alright.

The worst off were the administrative planets, which were densely populated. The relocation of people could not keep up with the speed of the Zerg's attack. When the army was defeated and retreated, it was unimaginable how many humans perished when they had to gather reinforcements to fight back.

The main mission for the mercenaries this time is to kill the Zerg, and killing Zerg will earn them the highest points.

A planet needs to be cleaned repeatedly to kill all the Zerg.

Once the frontline legions are defeated and retreat, the planet will be occupied by the Zerg again. After defeating the Zerg, they will have to continue to be cleared out. In any case, the more Zerg they fight, the more there are. There's no way they can be killed off.

This is a common occurrence on the battlefield. Planets with large populations and abundant life forms are the focus of fierce competition between the two sides, resulting in extremely intense battles.

The army's resistance against the Zerg was extremely difficult, resulting in heavy casualties. The Zerg were not only terrifying in combat power but also in astonishing in number. Anything containing energy or flesh and blood was their food, and their instinct was to devour everything in a frenzy, constantly growing and evolving.

The city, once overrun by hordes of Zerg, will soon be reduced to ruins, leaving only sand and dust.

A planet is not small in size, and it will take time for it to completely turn into a dead star. Various creatures will resist and try to escape, and even if ordinary humans are armed, they are not so easy to devour.

Mercenaries must act quickly when carrying out rescue missions, as they can only find survivors on the initial planets. Once the planets are occupied by the Zerg again, there is no hope.

When a planet becomes a dead star, there is no longer any need to reclaim it. Therefore, human armies abandon the fight to the death and retreat step by step. Those dim star fields no longer hold the meaning of bloodshed.

A large number of civilian armed forces entered the battlefield, fighting for a time advantage. Although the combat power of mercenaries cannot match that of the army, they can make up for the army's shortcomings and save many lives.

The star field is vast and there are many planets. Most humans live on planets, but the Zerg are not picky. They will rush to occupy any planet they see.
Therefore, the Zerg would also be short of troops. Furthermore, the main forces of both sides would be mutually restrained, and the Zerg forces that could occupy planets were limited, which gave humanity a buffer period to rescue people, move supplies, and eliminate the Zerg.

As the warships landed, the hatches opened and Leng Ye and his men filed out. Ye Zhi Qiu arranged for the personnel to remain behind, and then everyone else who could fight was dispatched.
Every single space pirate had to go; those who didn't would be killed. After a period of training, no space pirate dared to resist anymore. As long as Ye Zhi Qiu gave the order, they all obediently followed.

The martial artists and superpowered individuals among the space pirates dared not resist. Most importantly, Su Qing only gave the antidote to a small number of obedient space pirates; most of them still needed to take the antidote regularly.

The space pirates were helpless. They had originally planned to kill the insectoids to gain merit, enter the First Army to clear their names, and rise to the top in one step. Unexpectedly, Su Qing kept his promise. After several battles, the space pirates who had made meritorious contributions were indeed given the antidote and taken away by the First Army.

Unexpectedly, they were sent to the battlefield as soon as they were assigned to the First Army. The First Army was the main force against the Zerg. After one battle, all the space pirates were wiped out. They were either killed by the Zerg or directly killed by the supervisory team. It turned out that being a soldier was more dangerous. They were wrong.

It was only then that they discovered that none of the cunning members of the space pirates had actually gone; those who had gone had been tricked. Everyone then realized that being a soldier was not easy; military orders were absolute, and death was inevitable no matter what.
Space pirates who join the First Army are sure to be cannon fodder and die even faster, but those who follow Su Qing are still alive.

Seeing this, the space pirates who had harbored any intentions dared not cause trouble. Su Qing would never hesitate to kill space pirates. Although fighting the Zerg could also result in death, there was a chance of survival. If even ordinary mercenaries dared to go, what was there for them not to dare? After becoming prisoners, their communicators were still active, but the signal was blocked. It was restored after they left the First Army. Ye Zhi Qiu felt that letting the space pirates understand the current situation in the middle-level star system would make them realize that following Su Qing was the only way to survive.

With all sorts of messages flooding the StarNet, space pirates aren't stupid; they naturally know how to choose.

Ye Zhi Qiu's orders were carried out obediently. Even the mercenaries from Bei Chen Xing were amazed that the star pirates could obey their leader's orders!
After the Zerg first occupied the planet, they were driven back by humans. There are still many surviving humans, mainly concentrated in a few large cities.

Those plantations, large and small, are in dire straits. They are mostly populated by ordinary people and plant growers who have little combat ability. The insect soldiers, who love to eat spiritual plants, will ravage the plants and animals in the manor when they land, and very few people can survive.

Some were lucky; the farmland and the people were safe and sound, and they were just waiting for the warship to land and take them away.

The Cold Night Mercenary Group has a large number of members, and their assigned task is to search a large city, an area that was recently occupied and ravaged by a large number of Zerg.

When the Zerg broke through the defenses and attacked the planet, they encountered fierce resistance from the Imperial army. Although the number of Zerg that actually landed on the planet was large, they were not the most ferocious species. The planet's inhabitants also fought back, and ordinary people could kill the larvae if they got their hands on weapons.

The war has been going on for a long time. Those who could escape have already evacuated. Those who couldn't escape were ordinary people from the bottom of society who had no connections, no money, and no power. They could only wait for the government to make arrangements.

The Zerg were coming in a fierce attack, and there was no time to arrange passenger ships. All the warships were also tied down by the Zerg. Even the evacuation of large administrative planets was a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the population of the plantation planets was sparse. They could only leave each other to their fate.

Soldiers fought desperately against the Zerg, with countless soldiers dying in battle. The governments of planets near the battlefield were also powerless, their ships were running out of space, and no shipping companies dared to come.

The empire is making urgent arrangements to evacuate the inhabitants of planets that are slightly farther from the battlefield.
In this time of crisis, both battlefields required the evacuation of large numbers of residents, and major air routes were under severe alert.

The inhabitants of all the temporarily safe areas in the middle system panicked and desperately fled to the central system, the original system, or planets far away from the war zone. Even though the middle system was not completely occupied by the insectoids, it gradually became chaotic.

Many terrorists took advantage of the chaos to loot and disrupt society. Some space pirates were even more audacious, knowing that the legions were short-handed, and dared to directly land on planets to rob them.

Whether someone in a war zone can survive depends entirely on their individual ability and luck, as the military is also preoccupied with its own problems.

If a planet is occupied by the Zerg two or three times over a long period of time, there will be virtually no survivors. The main task of mercenaries is to collect energy and eliminate the Zerg.

Su Qing and Bai Qian did not follow the main group, but instead stood hidden high in the sky, ready to deal with any special situation.

Eliminating ordinary Zerg is not worth their time, unless there are too many Zerg to handle, but that is extremely rare, and this place is considered the rear.

The mission Leng Ye accepted was a level three danger mission. Apart from the newbies, any veteran mercenary could survive. The Zerg, on the other hand, became the prey, and many mercenaries wished they could kill as many as possible.

The once bustling, high-tech city is now dilapidated, with many high-rise buildings collapsed. If it weren't for the warships carrying their own receivers, the Star Network wouldn't even be able to connect, and the signal towers on the planet would have been destroyed long ago.

Large numbers of mercenaries split into different squads and poured into the ruins. Soon, gunshots rang out in the city as the Zerg hiding in the shadows were found and eliminated one by one.

Among the mercenaries are martial arts masters and superpowered individuals, but most are ordinary martial artists. The first batch of mercenaries who took on the mission suffered heavy casualties, but as they gradually gained experience, they naturally learned how to kill the Zerg and survive.
