Outside the Feinan's port window, distorted starlight flashed through the twists and turns of space. Yang Luo had no sense of novelty in this scenery.
The starlight disappeared, and Feinan seemed to break out of a layer of water film. The surrounding space immediately returned to stability, and the starry sky synchronized back to normal.
Lu appears next to Yang Luo.
"Boss, the target ship has changed direction. They are indeed looking for Miss Hera."
Yang Luo frowned and thought, and pushed the square rudder casually. A light blue halo appeared behind Feinan's tail and swept wings. The strong thrust made Yang Luo stick to the captain's chair.
Did Hera's experiments attract bugs?
I have obviously modified the transport ship several times. I can't say that its sealing and isolation are better than those of the original Ram Star Base, but it can at least equal them.
and.
"Where did these bugs come from?"
"The traced route shows that its jump landing point is the desolate star field outside the borders of Luofeng Country."
Lu Kuaisheng explained:
"Luofeng is already considered the fringe area of the main civilization of the Milky Way. The direction in which the bugs are coming is most likely to the uncultivated star field, the edge of the Milky Way, or even outside the Milky Way. This is not the Zerg race cultivated by the New Federation."
Yang Luo nodded and said nothing. He stared at the changes in the gravitational coefficient displayed on the screen. The Feinan was once again wrapped in silver-white coating and crashed into the tiny ripples in space.
Jump, jump, sail at high speed.
The Feinan's performance was maximized by Yang Luo. He chose the nearest route and headed straight to the Luofeng border area.
Fallen Wind Empire, Ellando Star.
Adwang and more than a dozen ministers who were in a meeting were forcibly interrupted by General Philemon and sent to the royal palace.
The Imperial Cannon is already in the process of being activated, and several robots hidden inside have activated the protection systems of the entire palace and Yilanduo City to fully protect the safety of Luofeng Capital.
On the outskirts of the planet Elandu, twelve main formations jumped at the same time, and more than twenty formations were suspended above the planet's main cities.
They were facing a formidable enemy.
"What's wrong?" Edwan frowned and asked, "The New Federation is calling again?"
It's bugs, space bugs," General Philemon whispered, "Your Majesty, don't announce this news yet, Major Yang Luo is already on his way back."
Adwang's expression was condensed, and his eyes were a little empty.
He actually didn't have a very direct idea of the insect plague, so he nodded calmly at this moment: "Just leave it to him, there shouldn't be any big problems."
General Philemon originally wanted to remind Edwan not to rely so much on Yang Luo, but when he thought of the current situation of the Fallen Wind Empire, Philemon wisely chose to shut up.
Edwan asked: "Do you need to ask Sherman for help?"
"It doesn't seem necessary," Philemon said, "We now have a military alliance, and fleets from the three neighboring countries have begun to mobilize and are ready to jump to support us at any time."
"Tell me, how did Luo do it?"
Adwang put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "Is the organization behind him related to Bai... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
General Fremont smiled with narrowed eyes.
Although His Majesty didn't say it directly, he did feel that it was similar.
Fallwind Frontier, a star region close to the Sherman Empire.
Twelve combat formations under Gudun Maha completed the simultaneous jump and announced on the interstellar public channel that they would conduct military exercises here. A total of 80 warships arranged a 'fortress formation' to wrap the transport ship Hera was riding in the core position.
.
On the other side, Dabiqi's flagship led the main force of the Luofeng Army's modified third and fourth defense fleets, a total of 360 ships, appeared in the airspace marked by Lu, and faced the target ship head-on.
.
Dabiqi sat in the command room and kept issuing one order after another. The dozen or so messengers and officers responsible for verifying the orders around him could not keep up with Dabici's rhythm.
The two fleets quickly pulled out the defensive net, opened the protective cover, and charged the main guns.
Five main warships slowly approached the airspace where the target ship was located.
"Attention all ships."
Dabiqi’s calm voice spread throughout the ships:
"Our enemies are not humans. They are ships that have been assimilated by insects. When you find the target ship, fire immediately and don't leave any chance for the opponent to resist!"
The more than 200,000 Luofeng officers and soldiers suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the efficiency of order transmission was once again increased by 10%.
The universe is silent and deep.
The main guns of the five advancing battleships and star cruisers have all been charged, and the purple and blue gun barrels are slightly distorting the space.
The pitch-black ship slowly came from the darkness of the universe.
"Target ship found."
"locked."
"locked."
"Fire!"
The main guns of the two battleships took the lead in ejecting ion beams with diameters of tens to hundreds of meters. The purple light instantly overshadowed the brilliance of nearby stars!
The pitch-black battleship seemed to be activated instantly, with a golden energy shield strangely appearing on the outer layer.
The ion beam collided fiercely with the energy shield!
The three star cruisers opened fire one after another, and three dark blue beams hit the energy shield.
The pitch-black battleship was still moving forward, with faint cracks appearing on the protective cover.
The porthole of this battleship was suddenly knocked open!
Densely packed bugs flew out of the portholes and rushed into the near-vacuum space of the universe. They flew freely in all directions relying on the faint halo that appeared on their abdomens.
The Luo Feng soldier who witnessed this scene through the testing equipment became even more nervous.
This batch of bugs, which are about five meters long, look like just particles at the moment.
More ion beams appear from behind!
The secondary guns of dozens of main battleships began to fire, quickly killing the flying insects trying to escape.
The outer protective shield of the pitch-black battleship suddenly shattered, and the ion beam of the main gun penetrated directly into the hull!
Two seconds later, the strangely appearing battleship was lit up and turned into a huge fireball, swallowing up the swarms of insects trying to escape.
Dabiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, the target battleship has been destroyed by bugs."
"Well, release space interference waves," Dabiqi said, "The role of this battleship may only be induction."
As soon as Dabiqi finished speaking, a harsh alarm suddenly sounded from the testing station not far away.
"General! Massive jump!"
"The space coefficient drops sharply, and the space is expected to begin to expand in three minutes!"
"Prepare to retreat!"
Dabiqi reacted extremely quickly: "The battleships in front retreat immediately, type 3 tactics! The swarm of insects that can jump is not an enemy we can deal with! The entire ship is ready to evacuate at any time!"
"yes."
The five main battleships at the front quickly retreated.
The entire fleet of 360 battleships maneuvered in an orderly manner, quickly retracting from the originally neatly arranged fan-shaped formation, with two battleships, six star cruisers, 12 gunboats, three shield ships, and more than ten auxiliary ships as the group.
, gathered into nine staggered firepower units in the shortest possible time.
Ahead, only a few wreckage of the pitch-black battleship remained, and a few large, bloated special bugs still retained their relatively complete bodies.
Their bodies are stronger than human battleships.
What order of insect is this?
Dabiqi pursed his lips tightly.
All data is synchronized to the goddess. The goddess has already learned what happened here, and there is no need for him to report it specifically.
Faint ripples appeared in the space ahead, and a huge and bloated 'battleship' appeared out of thin air.
Dabiqi stood up subconsciously, and the busy crowd near him also stopped moving at the same time, staring at the battleship that appeared on the screen with wide eyes.
The length of the battleship is about 30,000 meters.
On the periphery of the ship's body, the limbs of the golden adult insects are linked together, densely packed, and wrapped in countless layers, but there is no sense of clutter at all.
"Fire the entire ship! The auxiliary ship begins a retreat jump!"
Dabiqi shouted loudly:
"Don't lead them to the administrative star! Set the jump location to the border no-man's land! Move quickly!"
The crowd around him immediately started running, and the messenger's voice kept trembling. Fortunately, there was no impact on the delivery of the order.
The light of the ion beam keeps shining.
But compared to the golden energy shield that burst out from the outer layer of the battleship, these bombardments were nothing worth mentioning.
The energy shield did not fluctuate at all, and the giant Zerg warship was slowly and firmly accelerating forward.
Behind this battleship, sixteen 5,000-meter-class Zerg battleships completed the jump one after another.
The outer layers of these large Zerg warships began to disintegrate, reducing their size by about one-third, and the bugs that spread their wings and flew in a near-vacuum environment formed an overwhelming and dense array and quickly jumped over the 'flagship'.
Luofeng 3rd and 4th Defense Corps.
"Boss, it's the fifth-order insect swarm."
Lu's voice also had a bit of urgency.
"The Dabiqi fleet is fighting and retreating. These bugs are not interested in fighting. They have a clear goal and continue to accelerate towards the transport ship where Miss Hera is."
Yang Luo frowned and asked: "What do insects rely on to fly in a vacuum?"
"Simulated gravity," Lu said softly, "Current research has proven that bugs can construct simulated gravitational fields. The greater the number of bugs, the stronger the simulated gravitational field created."
She said softly: "It is estimated that in about six hours, they will pass by the star system where Luofeng Eleventh Administrative Star is located. This administrative star has a population of more than 200,000 and is very low-development."
Yang Luo fell silent.
The pitch-black battleship was stopped in time. It would take at least dozens of galactic hours for these bugs to get close to Hera.
Of course, this is the calculation result of the opponent not making another jump and just sailing forward in a straight line.
High-level bugs can withstand the pressure caused by sublight travel.
As long as the opponent continues to accelerate, it will eventually become an unstoppable torrent and swallow up the transport ship where Hera is.
Moreover, this matter should not involve Luofeng people and Luofeng soldiers.
Let Hera enter the Sherman Empire and divert the swarm's troubles eastward?
Although it is not very authentic to do this, it is true that only the Sherman Empire dreadnought can fight against this level of insect swarm.
only.
Yang Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and one thought after another quickly passed through his mind.
He is not a mother-in-law.
But now, what he must consider is how many innocent people this group of high-level insects will involve.
"Boss, after calculation, there are a group of sixth-level adults among these bugs," Lu quickly said, "They may jump short distances at any time!"
"Send a message to Hera."
"Yes, the boss has been connected."
The efficiency of Lu's actions this time made Yang Luo couldn't help but look sideways.
She explained: "026 has been communicating with me over there."
Yang Luo crossed his left hand, and the figures of 026 and Hera appeared on the projection screen.
Hera was tied to a chair by 026.
She was breathing rapidly, her face was flushed, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot. After seeing Yang Luo's image, she immediately shouted:
They are coming! Luo! They are coming to me! Kill me, now, immediately! They are all high-level bugs, and I can see their queen! That is already close to a god-level civilization!
"My experiments offended them!"
"Don't hesitate. I have no regrets or nostalgia. Your insistence on protecting me is a betrayal of the human race!"
"calm down!"
Yang Luo scolded in a low voice.
Hera pursed her lips tightly, forced to hold back her tears, and stared at Yang Luo.
Yang Luo closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead twice, and exhaled slowly.
Lu Kuai said: "The fifth-order insect swarm is not invincible. They come from the corner of the Milky Way. This disaster is just one of the hidden dangers in the Milky Way."
"Hera, I want you to make a choice," Yang Luo said, "Go to Sherman or go to the New Federation. Give me the answer now."
"Shell."
Hera paused in her words, frowning tightly, with some thoughts in her eyes.
Half a minute later, Hera replied calmly:
"Rather than seeking refuge in these powerful countries, I am more inclined to destroy myself."
"I had a hunch a long time ago that the Zerg communication experiment I conducted might arouse the wrath of the Zerg. But I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful Zerg swarm outside our sight."
"If you only give me these two choices, I will choose to return to the New Federation, to the place where everything originated."
She actually chose the New Federation.
Yang Luo thought briefly, and then said slowly: "Okay, I'm on my way back and I'll pick you up in about four hours."
Hera asked in a low voice: "Luo, can't I even decide whether I live or die? This is my basic human right."
"Sorry, you can't now."
Yang Luo said calmly:
"Instead of having this idea of giving up on yourself, it is better to carry out experiments that can truly threaten the Zerg."
"The New Federation has been cultivating bugs for so many years, why are you the only one who has attracted the attention of the high-level bug swarm?"
"Hera, you are on the right path, and your future achievements will be limitless."
"Don't be afraid of threats, Hera. Constantly defeating threats and challenging the strong is the only way to become a hero. Think about the movies you have watched. You long for heroes, you long for the protection of heroes, and you long for becoming a hero yourself."
"Now, you have this chance."
Hera's frown slowly eased, and she looked at Yang Luo.
"Boss!" Lu's calm voice was a little more urgent, "The Zerg tribe has divided its forces. About one-tenth of the bugs are moving towards the first star of the Luofeng Empire. They want to force us to give up Miss Hera."
Yang Luo clenched his fists subconsciously and gave an answer after a few seconds:
"Let Luofeng soldiers do what is consistent with their status, with the main purpose of protecting the safety of Luofeng people."
"Send a request for assistance to the surrounding military allies and ask the fleets under our control to jump immediately to prepare to stop the enemy."
"Hera's transport ship sailed out of the Fallen Border and sailed in the international public star field, avoiding the trade route administrative star. Remember, do not jump at this time, otherwise the insect swarm will most likely follow the jump. Keep the sailing speed at a medium speed, etc.
I'll go over and meet up."
Yang Luo said slowly: "026?!"
"Boss! I'm here!"
026 jumped out immediately.
"No matter what method you use, bring Hera to me alive."
"Yes!" 026 gave a decent military salute.
But Hera suddenly said: "Let me go, 26."
026 suddenly hesitated: "Uh, but you"
"I'm going to the laboratory," Hera said calmly, "My idea has not been completed yet."
