Interstellar Super Planter

Chapter 1143 Metamorphosis
Ye Zhi Qiu wasn't particularly strict about managing the supplies the space pirates found. Large quantities of supplies couldn't be hidden, and even the smaller ones weren't worth much in star coins. Besides, the space pirates had nowhere to use them.

Moreover, in the current environment, only energy resources and war materials that enhance the fleet's strength are truly valuable.

Soon, hundreds of thousands of people arrived at a large city and began searching for the Zerg inch by inch.

Like the cities near the spaceport, this place was also ravaged by war. Many high-rise buildings were destroyed, the air orbit was completely destroyed, and the city was in ruins with few intact buildings.

The group needs to use flying boards to overcome obstacles, launch attacks on any Zerg they encounter, and use armed flying vehicles to attack from a distance.

Land warfare and space warfare are completely different. Land warfare is simpler and more suitable for human use. It does not require constant and precise control of the gravity system, making it more convenient and energy-efficient.

With over 100,000 people flooding into the city, it seemed like a lot, but even if the number were several times greater, Ye Zhi Qiu felt it wouldn't be enough.
In a megacity with tens of millions of residents and an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers, searching bit by bit would definitely feel like a shortage of manpower.

In the case of high-ranking Zerg-controlled Zerg soldiers, the larvae will also gather together to fight against humans.

Now, most of the high-level Zerg have been killed in battle, leaving mostly larvae. Their biological instincts drive them to hide in all directions as they sense danger.
Some powerful Zerg, unable to resist their craving for flesh, gathered a certain number of Zerg and launched an attack on humanity, but they were all wiped out by the space pirates.

Ye Lan and Ye Hao lead the mech squadron to provide early warning from the air and are no longer responsible for killing the Zerg, unless there is a large-scale Zerg attack.

This wasn't the first time the space pirates had entered a planet occupied by the insectoid race, but as the search progressed, the horrific scenes and gruesome sights—dried blood, dilapidated houses, and severed limbs and bones—gradually silenced them.

Space pirates are not good people; basically, each of them has a lot of lives on their hands. However, they kill people quickly and decisively; they do not eat people.
They dared not attack other planets and kill large numbers of people. Instead, they had to hide in remote places, where they cruelly killed innocent people for money and for survival.

The Zerg were far beyond their understanding of killing. Countless humans were brutally bitten to death and eaten piece by piece by the Zerg. Just thinking about that scene sends chills down one's spine.

The Zerg pose a serious threat to human civilization. Although the space pirates are not very knowledgeable, they feel a sense of shared fate. If all of humanity were eaten by the Zerg, they would certainly not survive either. Humanity is a whole, and space pirates are also human. If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach?

The once prosperous planet is now like this, and the sorrow in my heart is hard to shake off. They have never done anything good, but they would never destroy a planet. Perhaps they can understand why those soldiers fought so bravely and selflessly, just so that humanity could continue and be passed down.

The space pirates' faces were grim, and the discomfort they felt couldn't be dispelled. They could only attack more fiercely when they encountered the Zerg, their eyes filled with hatred for the Zerg.

City after city, the Lengye team spent every day in battle, only able to relax a little when they slept at night, but they never forgot to take turns on guard against Zerg sneak attacks.

One night, when most people were fast asleep, a swarm of several thousand Zerg quietly crept over, intending to raid the human camp.

Fortunately, the patrolling space pirates were alert and discovered the attack in time. Everyone rushed to fight back. Although more than a hundred people died in the battle, it was already a stroke of luck. If they had discovered it later and allowed these thousands of insectoids to rush into the camp and devour it, there would probably have been even more deaths, with no remains left. Even if the insectoids were killed, their bodies would not be found intact after being cut open. Just thinking about that kind of death is terrifying.

No one wants to die, especially now that these space pirates have a chance to live. Su Qing promised to give those who performed well this time an antidote, which is more effective than anything else.

To train these space pirates, Bai Qian didn't have them use protective shields all the time; those were for survival on the battlefield, only to be activated during major battles. As time went on, the hundreds of thousands of space pirates transformed day by day—not in their thinking, but in their combat skills, becoming more and more like a real army. The disorganized ranks gradually coalesced, and their combat power grew stronger and stronger, which secretly pleased Ye Zhi Qiu.

Su Qing wasn't interested in the battles on the planet. With Bai Qian around, she could rest assured. So she went straight back to her room and entered her spatial realm to refine pills and craft weapons.

Su Qing's pills were never enough. If it weren't for her powerful cultivation, she would have been kept by the powerful and wealthy long ago. Fortunately, she created a powerful sect, which prevented the most influential figures in the empire from daring to touch her and forcing them to trade with her honestly.

When Su Qing was with the First Army, she made a large number of pills for the First Army out of consideration for Yang Yu and Meng Li. After she left, she continued to provide pills to the army intermittently, but the amount was much smaller. One reason was the long distance, but the main reason was that the war had cut off many interstellar express routes, resulting in a shortage of spiritual plants for pill making it inconvenient to deliver the pills back and forth.

The powerful and influential people of the capital star did not dare to interfere with Su Qing's freedom, and Cao Zhifei of the First Army dared not do so either. Su Qing made a large number of pills for the First Army before leaving, which made him secretly happy and regretful. However, with Meng Li around, Su Qing would definitely take good care of the First Army.

Currently, only a few major powers on the capital star can still maintain transactions with Su Qing; others simply cannot contact her.

Su Qing started providing pills to everyone in Leng Ye; otherwise, how could hundreds of thousands of space pirates be so convinced? No one is truly stupid; the idiots would have died long ago.

The effects of the pills and weapons refined by Su Qing can be seen after just one use. Su Qing also has to take time to refine pills for hundreds of thousands of people.

Fortunately, Yang Wei was able to help share the burden. His pill-refining skills had surpassed those of the Empire's top-tier pharmacists; otherwise, Su Qing would have had to reduce her cultivation time.

When the local military also came knocking, Su Qing couldn't completely refuse them, because she couldn't ignore the soldiers who had fought so hard.

Many of Su Qing's deeds were classified as top secret. Apart from those present at the time and top military leaders, even most soldiers in the same war did not know about them.
Therefore, the Cold Night Fleet was not treated well when it received the mission. Instead, it was ostracized by its peers. The highest-ranking officer in logistics was unaware of Su Qing's abilities, otherwise he would have visited him long ago.

After Su Qing entered the Nascent Soul stage, she was eager to avenge her grandmother and did not pay much attention to cultivation.
Luo Zilan repeatedly warned her that the Nascent Soul stage was nothing in the cultivation world, and there was still the Deity Transformation stage and the Tribulation stage afterward. She shouldn't think that the Nascent Soul stage made her invincible, as a crisis might occur at any time. She should continue to cultivate diligently and break through the stage as soon as possible.

After being warned by the Heavenly Dao, Su Qing dared not kill any more insectoids. He could only seek revenge gradually, so he changed his mindset and focused his mind on cultivation.

The fleet is managed by Ye Zhi Qiu, and the top combat forces include Bai Qian, Elder Zhu, and the Ye siblings. She often enters her space to refine pills or meditates and cultivates in her room when she has free time.

On the planet, the Cold Night Mercenary Group's mission to eliminate the Zerg went very smoothly. Occasionally, major battles were fought but were thwarted by a combined effort of space pirates, mercenaries, and Lin Yuyang leading over 1000 men.

Although Lin Yuyang did not participate in Leng Ye's command, he would sometimes give Ye Zhi Qiu some pointers. Everyone in Leng Ye was undergoing rapid transformation, and the mentality of many space pirates was gradually changing.

In the past, when space pirates were burning, killing, and looting everywhere, they treated killing as commonplace. They would kill those people as they pleased, since the Empire had so many people that they could never kill them all. They thought they had only killed a few people.

But the entire planet was devoid of people, leaving only ruins, gnawed bones, and bloodstains everywhere, like a human slaughterhouse.
Humans are being devoured like livestock. Even the cruel and bloodthirsty space pirates are filled with fear. If the insectoid race is allowed to develop unchecked, the consequences will be terrifying. As humans, no one can remain uninvolved. The only options are to resist, fight, and slaughter to fight for the right to survive.
