There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"I picked it up by accident." Kitahara Sora's mouth twitched, "You were not there that day, and this guy actually used a black hole grenade to blow up the Observer."

At this time, the usually steady Kazami spoke again, "Captain, what did you talk about just now?"

Kitahara Sora put away his messy thoughts and said seriously, "It was mostly some irrelevant chatter, but Blair revealed two key pieces of information."

At this point, Takuto Aso, who was being beaten in the distance, also looked over. Regarding mission information, everyone had developed the habit of communicating on the public channel.

"First, there is only one brain worm on this planet or even in this area, but it has been killed by Yukino, so we can be sure that there will be no more 'tactical conspiracy' in the future attacks of the worms."

Feng Jian and Ye Shan looked at each other, then nodded together and waited for the next words. As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet temporary camp became noisy.

The bugs at the foot of the mountain finally started to charge after a day, and all the bugs that came to support the queen also returned here.

Looking at the endless sea of ​​insects beneath his feet, Beiyuan Kong's mood gradually became solemn.

"Secondly, after being parasitized by the Zerg, Blair seemed to have touched their mental network. He sensed an extremely powerful existence. Judging from his previous situation, Blair didn't know what it was. He only said that it was an 'ancient thing'."

"Ancient things?"

Ye Shan stroked his chin and pondered, "But if the Zerg really has a strict social hierarchy as we speculated, then they must have something like a 'king'."

"Yeshan's guess is correct." Feng Jian also interrupted: "For now, we have killed the Queen and the Brain Worm, but I don't think the worms are like the usual 'matriarchal society'. From the known information, we can infer that the Queen exists as a breeding worker. It has a certain status in the worm swarm, but it should not be a particularly high status."

Kitahara Sora nodded, "So, the brainworm is similar to the existence of the 'military advisor', then they should also have a 'commander-in-chief' and Abathur."

"Abathur?" Feng Jian asked doubtfully.

"Just understand him as a master of evolution or an expert in bioengineering."

"This speculation is certain. After all, Kato only briefly wandered around the arsenal before, but we overheard the entire conversation between Blair and the puppet."

Hayato Hayama explained seriously, "Blair's wife and children were killed by a nuclear bomb, and his son was vaporized by the high temperature, but his wife retained her genes, so the deal he made with the Zerg was in the hope that the Zerg could resurrect his wife."

"So far, the Zerg have successfully cloned his wife, but they have been unable to overcome the difficulty in terms of memory. It should be that his wife's brain has been carbonized."

"So that's how it is?" Bei Yuankong suddenly realized, "No wonder he looked so indifferent, he knows that his goal will never be achieved... Forget about him, as for that ancient thing... I guess it is the core of the Zerg civilization, and also the final stage of our main storyline this time."

"Yeah." Kazami lowered his eyelids, his tone a little low, "In fact, the text message that Xiao sent to Miss Yukishita before was also recorded, and Miss Yukinoshita also cracked some things, but now she should know what that 'ancient thing' is..."

At this time, Yukino's cold voice came from the headset. She denied it in a tired tone: "It's not very clear. It will take some time. After all, there is no reference for comparison, and a lot of information is unclear."

Hearing the girl's voice, Kitahara Sora thought for a moment and asked, "Xue No, what's going on over there?"

"The blockade of the bridge has not been lifted yet, but I have spoken to the captains of the 28 remaining starships. We are vigorously carrying out the cleansing work. Although the Dominators are not as good as the Cerebrates, they have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans. Using the internationally accepted calculation method, their IQ is probably between 70 and 100."

"Earth-side, are you going to do this?"

Beiyuan Kong suddenly turned his head, glanced at the colonel who was waving at him, and continued: "The Zerg on my side have begun to attack at all costs."

"The wormhole in the universe seems to have more obvious energy fluctuations, and the support from Earth has not responded yet. I am trying to call Marshal Tehet O Meru. She is the supreme commander of the human side and her power is second only to the Federation Council... I am considering whether to tell her the truth about the secret we have exposed."

Judging from the voices, Yukino seemed to be in a dilemma as well. The Zerg already knew the secret about the 'game space'. They had glimpsed the tip of the iceberg through Zeyueshi and Saionji. Since they were 'plundered', there was no punishment mechanism.

But it would be a bit troublesome to let humans know, since Blair, the only one who knew about it, is already dead, so someone would have to take the risk of being wiped out...but it seems that Nobuyuki Sugo's name is still on?

Now is not the beginning of the mission. We can probably be sure that once the troubles on this planet are solved, we can leave, so there is no need to worry about the malice from humans anymore.

Maybe Yukino is considering whether to tell the whole story or lie half-truthfully. What method should she use to make him speak voluntarily and avoid being annihilated by the observer within a certain period of time?

So, Kitahara Sora suddenly looked at Aso Takuto who was running towards him, and immediately said, "I'll let Aso take the transport ship to your place."

There was silence in the headset for a few seconds, and then Yukino replied with an "OK".

After she finished speaking, she quickly added: "The feeling I got from the Earth side is that after they learned that the commander had been replaced, they became more cautious..."

"What do you mean?" Kitahara Sora asked puzzledly.

"When I confessed to the other starships, one of the captains was a puppet. The Dominator transmitted our video content to Earth, so..."

"This counterattack caused them extremely heavy losses, so the Earth side will not easily send troops to reinforce them unless they are 100% sure that this is another conspiracy, right?"

"That's what I mean." Yukino sighed, "That's why I'm thinking, should I tell them the secret and offer them a bargaining chip they can't refuse? Before that, we'll all be temporarily abandoned."

Kitahara Sora narrowed his eyes slightly, while Feng Jian and Ye Shan also fell into silence. They were not cold-blooded and heartless, because the more at this time, the more cautious they should be.

At this time, amid the deafening sound of gunfire, the ground began to tremble, and an extremely annoying "buzzing" sound rang out in the sky again, and the few Zerg jumpers flew over from the horizon.

The figure of the Pulse Scorpion reappeared on the horizon, and Yukino seemed to want to speak, but before she could completely utter the first syllable, it seemed to be stuffed back alive.

Kitahara Sora knew the reason, because there were densely packed stars twinkling in the sky...black stars.

Those are wormholes in the universe. Looking up from the ground, they just look like black stars printed in the blue sky.

The Zerg army finally arrived three hours after the death of the brain worm, but the number of small wormholes was definitely not something that the dozens of starships in the universe could contend with.

When they arrived here, the first thing they encountered was the remaining starship fleet. Compared to themselves, Yukino's situation was the most dangerous.

"There are too many of them. We can't resist at all... We have to... escape for the time being."

At this moment, Yukino, who was originally calm, said anxiously, "Kitahara-kun, survive! Give me another three hours! No matter what method you use!"

"Escape, resist, hide, whatever you do, hold on for three hours and survive! I will come to save you!"

"All warships, launch the survival ship after a round of salvos, and then allow jumps. Those who disobey will be destroyed directly. The orbital guns are aimed at the southern hemisphere of Planet M, the exact coordinates..."

Yukino's voice stopped and she turned off her headset.

Bei Yuankong discovered once again that among the dense black dots in the sky, there were extremely tiny spots of light. Those were the flames produced by the starship's main gun hitting the giant warping beast.

On the other side of the sky, there were about ten brilliant stars streaking across the sky. They were small rescue ships launched by starships in the universe.

But the area within several kilometers was surrounded by insects, and the landing coordinates set by the rescue ship were only ten kilometers away.

The pulse scorpion in the distance began to charge, and Kitahara Sora raised his longbow, but the next second... a strong flash of light illuminated the entire planet, and even Kitahara Sora couldn't help but cover his eyes.

Suddenly, a huge silver curtain rushed down from the sky and shone on the earth like a laser.

This dazzling laser beam, which was at least ten meters in diameter, penetrated the earth and cut through the surface, just like a water knife scraping across a layer of steel, quickly moving from east to west... and then turned into a pool of particles, dissipating into the air in an instant.

At that moment, Kitahara Sora felt as if the whole world was split into two. The laser flashed by and even the air was scorched, and his entire vision was distorted.

Then Beiyuan Kong suddenly fell to the ground. Even if he buried his eyes deep in the ground and covered his ears tightly, he could still feel the explosion and fire that was like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth...

Chapter 2: Awakening ()

The scorching heat wave swept across the earth, even creating a wall of fire hundreds of meters high on the ground.

Bei Yuankong, who was lying on the ground, felt dizzy and there was a buzzing sound in his head... After several seconds, the noise and bustle all over the mountains gradually became clear again and amplified.

Suddenly, I felt something strange above my head. I looked up slowly and saw a hint of gray in the midst of the fiery red, covering the entire sky.

This is... the rain of ash, the ashes of the bugs that instantly vaporized, just like the stuff that falls all year round in Silent Hill.

With his heart beating faster, Kitahara Sora slowly climbed up, walked slowly to the edge of the defense line and looked down.

The scene before him made even him gasp.

The bare foot of the mountain seemed to have experienced a catastrophe. A huge gully extended from east to west. The gully was over a thousand meters long, nearly a hundred meters wide, and at least fifty or sixty meters deep.

The entire ravine was filled with thick black smoke, and a straight energy scorch mark still remained at the deepest part of the ravine. The dazzling light mark gradually dimmed with the passage of time, from white to red, and finally dimmed like a branding iron.

Under this energy impact, the surrounding scenery became even more spectacular. The land near the giant ditch became charred, without even any ashes left.

As the distance increased, until fifty meters away from the ravine, the charred and carbonized Zerg sculptures could be seen...

"Ah—eyes, my eyes!!!"

"Doctor, where is the doctor! I can't hear you!"

"The medic is dead!"

"They want to kill us!"

"Help!"

Suddenly, waves of painful screams came into my ears.

Desperate cries, calls for help, curses... the human soldiers who had lined up in the defensive line were instantly thrown into chaos. Some of them became blind, some became deaf, and some were even blown away by the shock wave and died!

But those who were hurt were those who were not wearing power armor, and those who were blind and deaf were those who had their visors and helmets open... None of them expected that the flagship's main gun would suddenly open fire and fire towards the front of the hill.

The flagship was opening a breakthrough for the people here, but they didn't tell her ahead of time because Yukino didn't have time to explain.

"This is a space-based weapon... Is this the power of a railgun..."

Aso Takuto walked over trembling, his tone was filled with a hint of fear and a little excitement, "Feeling it up close, this sense of oppression is really... so powerful!"

After he finished speaking, all the members of the Izumo team gathered around him, and even Nobuaki Kanazawa, who was intentionally taking Akane Minakawa to hide from Sora Kitahara, chose to approach cautiously.

"It's not close range, the impact point is several hundred meters away from us." Kazami Yuji looked around the scene and sighed: "That's it, and it also made many people lose their combat effectiveness."

Hayato Hayama took a deep breath and said, "This is obviously a precise strike that was carefully calculated, even taking into account the energy transmission power... That Yukinoshita guy..."

Yes, Yukino had already considered this before opening fire, or she had already made preparations for support, and the flagship's orbital gun launch base in the universe had already locked onto this coordinate.

This thousand-meter-long ravine gives people a suffocating feeling of oppression, but the turret in the universe only needs to move one centimeter or even a few millimeters. However, even with this delicate micro-manipulation, the consequences of the slightest miscalculation can be imagined.

"This shot killed at least 100,000 bugs, and the angle between the east and west sides was completely opened... She is really getting bolder and bolder."

After complaining lightly, Kitahara Sora looked behind him and saw Kobayashi Daigo walking over covered in dust. The tent behind him had already been blown away, but a ball of fire ignited at the foot of the tent. That was Blair's body.

"How to do?"

Bei Yuankong looked up at the sky and saw that the dozen or so meteors had broken through the last layer of air flow and would reach the ground in less than twenty seconds.

The huge object rubbed against the air, making a rumbling sound, like thunder, which shocked people.

On the left side, there was a roar, and the stranded supply ship started up again. The tiny humans moved as fast as ants, sending the wounded into it...

"I, Hayama, and Xiaolin will stay here. You, Kazami, will take Aso to the supply ship and escape from this planet to reunite with the fleet."

Kitahara Sora said to Kazami, "Send Aso to Yukino, you will definitely find her! Quick!!!"

In the face of Kitahara Sora's sudden roar, Kazami Yuji and Aso Takuto rushed towards the supply ship without saying a word.

But it wasn't just the two of them who followed, there were also Nobuaki Kanazawa and Akane Minakawa. Miike Taikawa, who had always regarded Kazami as his elder brother, also followed after hesitating for half a second.

At this time, Beiyuan Kong drew out the black bow, stretched the bow into a full moon, and aimed at one of the meteors falling from the sky, "Ye Shan, bless them with your strength, and prepare to rush down with them..."

As the fist marks above the heads of the three stranded people disappeared, the light of the arrows condensed by energy became brighter and brighter.

But after the demonic energy reached the critical point, the light gradually dimmed? Beiyuan Kong slowly loosened the hand that was pulling the string, and his eagle-like sharp eyes became stunned and dull...

They were huge "starships" over two hundred meters long. They stopped hundreds of meters above the ground, and the anti-propulsion system at the bottom of the starship was activated. The dazzling flames illuminated the smoky sky.

Their heads were as big as a basketball court, and their two green compound eyes alone were as big as a building. Then there were their barrel-like bodies covered with pitch-black scales, their abdomens and limbs filled with energy...

This kind of starship... no, it should not be called a starship. They are a kind of huge life form, they are "alive"!

"A leaping monster..."

Before Beiyuan Kong could finish his words, he froze on the spot.

The chest of the hovering beast, like its reproductive system, slowly opened, and countless black powders poured out from it, falling down densely like a heavy summer rain.

Those are not raindrops, but airborne "warriors"...

The huge body of one of the beasts suddenly turned, and a strong flash of light suddenly came out from its tail. A powerful energy pulse was about to burst out, and its target was the supply ship that was about to take off.

But at this time, Yuji Kazami, Takuto Aso and Taiga Miike had already rushed in, while Nobuaki Kanazawa and Akane Minakawa, who ran a little slower, were blocked outside the closed hatch.

The two of them looked up at the sky blankly, then rushed towards Bei Yuankong like crazy.

"Kazami, Aso... Damn it..."

Suddenly, the lava armor instantly wrapped Bei Yuankong's body, and the bow and arrow in his hand burst out with a strong flash again.

“Explode!!!”

With a roar, an arrow condensed with huge energy shot out!

"call out--"

"boom--"

As a loud crash was heard, a scarlet meteor with a spiral trajectory shot towards the rapidly expanding belly of the giant beast.

After the contact, the drill-like arrow immediately created a hole with a diameter of five meters in the abdomen of the leaping beast!

The ruptured abdomen was immediately like a plastic bag full of water with a toothpick piercing a small hole, and crystal clear indigo fluid poured out like a waterfall scattered in heaven, giving people a sense of dazzling beauty.

But the expected violent explosion did not occur, and the explosive arrows had long been wasted. It was too big, and the five-meter diameter borehole looked so small and so powerless...

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Continuous sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and the surface of the huge abdomen of the Leap Beast also shook continuously... Even at this moment, its abdomen turned into a huge shower, and the dazzling indigo light spread all over the earth, but it still did not explode, and the energy was still gathering!
