Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 304 Thorin Protozoa
Nearly a million people in the Human Council space are watching the live broadcast from that strange planet.

Before they could recover, the live broadcast signal was violently cut off by the bug.

As the screen flashed, the tense atmosphere in the council gradually reached its peak.

Many people were whispering below.

"Do you know what these creatures are?"

"I haven't even heard of it. According to the information they passed on, the underground of this planet has been completely hollowed out by these bugs. Even the energy in the core of the earth has been sucked away..."

Thinking of what these bugs have done, the members of the council couldn't help but shudder.

Draining an entire planet's core energy was beyond their imagination.

"According to the news from the front line, the entire planet's underground is basically filled with holes like this. If nothing else, they are all filled with these bugs..."

"Oh my god, what kind of planet did we dig up?"

"No, no, no."

A member of the council immediately responded, "This planet was registered with us not long ago. In other words, everything was normal here at that time."

"It's definitely not more than three years since this planet changed from a primitive ecology to a paradise for bugs, and even the energy of the earth's core was sucked dry."

With the decisive voice of one council member, the others were completely stunned.

At first, they subconsciously felt that it must have taken a long, long time for the bugs to hollow out the entire planet's underground.

But the fact is that this planet has been fully detected not long ago.

There is no such thing above, and everything is normal in the underground space.

It only takes three years for a planet to disappear from existence, but in fact this time may be even shorter.

"But these bugs are just bugs after all. Even if the entire planet is hollowed out, they can only live on the planet."

"A creature that can only move on the planet, even if it has the ability to hollow out the entire planet, what kind of threat can it pose to us?"

Similar words were echoed by many council members.

And then the big screen on the Council Space Station lit up again.

This time, the problem was no longer that something was discovered inside the planet, but that there was a problem with the entire planet.

The survey team's spacecraft remains in the planet's near-Earth space.

When they noticed something unusual on the planet, they immediately transmitted the footage here in real time to the Council Space Station behind them.

In the picture, black slime rises into the sky one after another.

These pitch-black liquids seemed to be pulled up by an invisible hand and flew up, breaking through the planet's atmospheric field. Finally, they severed their connection with the planet and left completely independently.

In the picture, as the mucus gradually falls off, people gradually realize that what is wrapped under the black liquid is a larger insect.

The bug was already as big as one of their frigates, which was unimaginable for a creature.

If you were living in space, it would be understandable that you would be huge.

It's weird that you can grow so big while living on the planet.

Others are amphibious on land and water, but you are amphibious on planetary environment and space environment.

The investigation team's spaceship hyperdrive has been preheated and can leave here at any time on a hyperdrive voyage.But the consequences of initiating faster-than-light navigation are also serious, and they don't want to use it casually.

After discovering that the other party was not moving very fast, the spaceship completely ignored the robots still on the planet, started the conventional engine of the spaceship, and left towards deep space.

I originally thought that I could leave this galaxy safely, but I didn't expect that the opponent's movement speed was indeed not fast enough. However, suddenly, densely packed small insects that could survive in the space environment and moved at high speeds came off the giant insect ship and headed towards it. They pounced.

These little bugs shuttle back and forth in space like carrier-based aircraft at extremely fast speeds.

In just a moment, the entire universe was completely covered with these bugs.

These little bugs moved incredibly fast and soon they caught up with the investigation team's spaceship. They broke through the spaceship's shield with a bang and smashed into the thick armor.

"what happened?"

The crew member who felt something strange looked around.

Nothing unusual was found, but then a rapid alarm sounded in the spacecraft.

The laser-like nano-alloy knife stabbed straight into the armor of the spacecraft.

The spacecraft of the investigation team was not originally for military use, and the thickness of the armor was limited.

These bugs only scratched the armor a little, and when they poked inside with the sickle in their hands, the entire armor was pierced.

The ordinary crew members were standing in the corridor blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Suddenly, he felt the metal wall in front of him move. Before he could take him over to check the situation, hundreds of knives were already stabbed in directly.

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, hundreds of knives broke through the armor's defense and inserted themselves into the interior of the spacecraft. The people inside suddenly turned pale and turned around to run away.

At the same time, the control room of the spacecraft was also attacked by countless insects.

One knife after another was stabbed directly into the interior of the spacecraft.

The crew, who have been highly vigilant about all this, have received orders from the captain before, and if any abnormal movement occurs, they will immediately start sailing at faster than light speed.

At this moment, his hand was always on the button. When knives were inserted directly into the command room from the outside, he pressed it without thinking, his hand shook.

The spacecraft immediately entered a super-light voyage, and all the bugs on the hull were unexpectedly thrown to the ground.

Entering the hyperdrive very safely, maybe not safe, but no one knows anymore,

When he appears again, it will be at least a few years later.

The pictures from the front line were naturally transmitted completely to the rear, and after consulting a lot of information, the members of the council finally knew what these bugs were.

When they were in the honeymoon period with Field, the human unity obtained a lot of information about the Star-Sea Community from Field.

Thorin protozoa, a cancer-like creature in the universe that lives in subspace and has super reproductive capabilities and space combat capabilities.

The cause of the occurrence is unknown, but it seems that as long as a civilization uses the subspace engine, there will be an insect plague.

The first insect plague occurred when insects entered the main universe from subspace.

For this kind of creature, the Star Sea Community, which has dealt with it once and paid a heavy price for it, already has a complete plan and response method.
