Countdown to Insect Swarm: 2 Standard Galactic Days.
…
Gu Guwu——
Deep space whale calls.
Yang Ming floats quietly in space.
There is no temperature, no distance, no time, only the infinite extension of space.
He saw the naked girl shrouded in holy light, floating quietly beside him. The two seemed to be within reach, but also seemed to be tens of thousands of light years apart.
The starry sky looked like blown out candles, and there seemed to be a dark river surging there.
More and more starry skies are affected.
But in the blink of an eye, the entire deep sky turned pitch black, with only sporadic starlight remaining in both directions.
'Here they come.'
'Here they come.'
'Here they come.'
Noisy whispers surrounded the pierced ears.
Yang Ming seemed to have seen something. He looked in that direction carefully, and through the vague black shadows, he spied the giant queen.
Her huge body was like a planet, which made Yang Ming subconsciously have the idea of escape.
This is not something he can fight against.
The biological energy mastered by both is not at the same level.
The other party is about to cross the threshold of dimensionality. This huge body like a planet is the queen's body that is unfolding in the basic material world. When this body is completely unfolded and the energy accumulated in it is completely released, it can enter the realm of life.
The realm of sublimation—the high-dimensional world.
Yang Ming had inexplicable irritating thoughts in his heart.
The instinct to escape is fading.
Itching appeared in various parts of his body. He turned to look at the girl aside, and there was a voice in his mind that seemed to be urging him.
Devour.
Completion.
Integrate into one.
Only by devouring Posuo can he be qualified to face off against this queen.
Only by swallowing up the whirling, swallowing up the whirling, swallowing up the whirling...
Yang Ming suddenly opened his eyes, jumped off the suspension platform with his tense body, and stood there panting heavily.
Several people around him immediately cast concerned glances.
Another person on the floating platform - Wu Suo, who looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, slowly opened her eyes, sat up calmly, and turned to look at Yang Ming.
"What did you sense?" Whisper asked.
"It's okay," Yang Ming shook his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "It seems that someone wants to interfere with my thoughts."
"Do I want you to devour me?"
"You accepted it too?"
"No," Posuo shook his head, "I just felt instinctive fear. Your power is already stronger than mine."
Yang Ming shrugged: "Don't think too much, I can't do such a thing as cannibalism. My human instinct can completely suppress the ancient god's instinct."
Whisper curled her lips slightly: "I hope so."
The sound of lights rang out all around, and the light in the experimental cabin became much brighter.
026 and Mimili immediately moved forward. The former went to take care of Posuo, while the latter brought Yang Ming a glass of warm water.
"Anything gained?"
Mimili asked softly.
"Many, many bugs are already on the edge of human civilization."
Yang Ming made a gesture:
"The body of the Great Queen has begun to expand before it ascends to another dimension. Its current size is the same as that of a small planet, and the biological energy it contains is extremely terrifying.
"I also felt that there are about a hundred pseudo queens who evolved from sixth-order male insects. They are commanders and are scattered in all directions. These pseudo queens are the hub of command.
"Law, convey this news to the Empire and Forerunner No. 4."
Lu's voice sounded from the side: "Okay boss!"
Mimi Li sighed, raised her hand to hold Yang Ming's palm, and whispered: "I will support you and do my best."
Yang Ming twisted her flawless face and didn't say much.
"Go back to the bridge," Yang Ming said. "Lu will prepare some food for us. Let's rest for a while and then hold the last comprehensive preparation meeting before the war."
"yes!"
…
Half an hour later, the Dongfeng bridge, the rest area in the corner.
Yang Ming's right hand fell on Mimi Li's slim waist, and he frowned and stared at the projection screen in front of him.
There are hundreds of pictures sliding on the screen, which are 'witness reports' coming from all over the galaxy.
Now the Zerg's offensive intentions are very clear.
With the human territory of the Milky Way as the entire battlefield, the elite of the Zerg were placed on the side of the Sherman Empire.
This insect wave is made up of a swarm of insects that has been hiding at the edge of the galaxy for who knows how many years. These insects, which originally kept their distance from each other and developed secretly in their respective areas, responded to the call of the Grand Queen of the Ascension Dimension.
"What we can now determine is that there are at least hundreds of fifth-order space Zerg groups hiding at the edge of the Milky Way.
"Miss Hera has mastered key information on the relationship between the Zerg groups and the specific operating mechanism, but these are not the most important. If the human civilization in the galaxy counterattacks later, they will also hide in more remote areas.
"Let's go back to the swarm of insects gathering at this stage."
Lu displayed the pictures one by one into a picture wall and said quickly:
"Currently, according to incomplete statistics, the six major insect groups of the Zerg race are divided into one direct insect group of the Great Queen and five subsidiary insect groups.
"This direct insect swarm is located outside the northern border of the empire. The estimated number of fifth-order adults is 20 billion, and the number of sixth-order adults is 2.5 billion. It is the most troublesome and terrifying existence in this insect tide.
“In addition, there are also fourth-order adults whose number is three times that of fifth-order adults.
"The fourth-order bugs arrived here with the help of the space path opened by the higher-order bugs, as a supplement to the number of the insect swarm.
"If calculated based on the medium and large warships composed of Zerg, the number of these Zerg warships will be 1.5 times that of the large ships in the empire's main fleet.
"What must be noted is that sixth-level bugs are already high-level space bugs. Battleships composed of such individuals can pose a great threat to human fleets.
"The other five affiliated insect swarms are mainly composed of fifth-order and fourth-order insects, and their numbers are around 60 billion.
"Among them, one affiliated insect swarm appears near the southeastern border of the empire, and the other four affiliated insect swarms will attack the other three major powers in the galaxy."
Yang Ming nodded slowly: "How are those small countries doing now?"
"The good news is that one-third of the governments have no insect swarms nearby at all.
"The bad news is that if these two swarms of insects targeting the Empire destroy the Empire's defenses, they can use the Empire as a gap to attack all political systems in the galaxy."
Lu groaned a few times:
"Whether other political systems are willing to admit it or not, this ancient empire is the trump card of human civilization in the galaxy during this insect wave.
"If the Empire can defeat the Great Queen, the insect swarm will naturally subside. If the Empire loses, the problem will be very serious."
Mimi Li frowned and asked: "Will the Empire lose?"
"It's impossible to judge now," Lu explained. "If we only calculate the Heavenly Wrath Fortress against the Great Queen, the empire's chance of winning is only 50%, and this battle will pay an extremely heavy price. However, considering that the Fayians may interfere
, everything is full of unknowns.”
026 asked: "Are there many insect swarms over there in Luofeng?"
"There are some, but the threat level is not too high."
Law explained:
"We detected four small swarms of insects outside the territory of the Luofeng Alliance.
"These small insect swarms are the supplements in the middle of the six major insect swarms, and their numbers are still increasing slowly. Their role should be to block the scattered human fleets in the galaxy from supporting key attack areas.
"Among them, there are about 2 billion fifth-order bugs, about 6 billion fourth-order bugs, and two sixth-order pseudonymphs. The Luofeng Alliance's fleet can just handle it, but it will be completely contained by them.
"We can also use the power of the Dark Star to quietly destroy a wave of bugs."
Yang Ming said: "Are the special operations team ready?"
"It's ready boss."
On the right, old Kolev's voice came from a skeleton robot: "What is the Special Operations Force?"
Lu smiled and said: "They are more than thirty ships that are similar in shape to the latest generation warships of the New Federation. They contain about 30,000 mechanical guards and several liquid robots. We have sent them to support the small countries near the New Federation."
Kolev:…
Mimili:……
026:……
Yang Ming shrugged: "It is our principle to unite before the insect wave. After the insect wave, it is our interest to plan in advance."
"You are still cruel," Kolev sighed.
Yang Ming smiled and motioned for Lu to continue making the report.
Now, the insect tide has become clear.
In the galaxy, the Sherman Empire was the most powerful, and it was an old enemy of the Great Queen, so it was heavily targeted by the swarm.
Even though the Sherman Empire had been preparing for so long, the production lines were exploding with troops, activating the sealed old warships, and strengthening the planetary defense capabilities outside the Imperial Star Circle without limit, it was still somewhat powerless to face such a terrifying insect wave.
According to the news that Yang Ming has received, Levi Sherman's Armada has been launched;
All types of warships in the empire have been equipped with explosive weapons carrying special warheads against the Zerg;
There are more than thirty new and old dreadnoughts distributed in the empire. Although one-third of them may only be used as shield ships after firing two guns, the firepower is still very considerable.
According to Lu's calculations, the five affiliated insect swarms cannot directly pose a fatal threat to human civilization in the Milky Way.
The biggest threat is the Queen's direct army.
Two and a half billion sixth-order adults.
Yang Ming gets a headache just thinking about it.
If this thing goes straight to the Emperor Star, it will be the best news for all mankind; if this thing is pushed all the way, which administrative star they lock, the empire must give up which administrative star, or can it only be near the Emperor Star Circle?
In the deep space, fight to the death with the insect swarms.
There is no way, even if conventional force is used, it may not be able to stop them.
In the preparatory stage, the military department must consider every administrative star.
At this stage, the first thing the military must consider is the continuation of human civilization and whether the empire can continue to exist.
A war is about to break out.
The insect swarm is making its final assembly, and the major human fleets are also making their final assembly.
Human civilization in the entire galaxy is shrouded in the shadow of the big queen, and Yang Ming has been waiting for the "game server launch", but there has been no news yet.
"Boss, there is actually some good news."
Lu said softly:
"The biological shielding technology we have promoted has been verified. There are two relatively remote human administrative stars not far from the gathering place of a large affiliated insect swarm. There are many insects flying around in the atmosphere there.
There was no attack on underground buildings.
"Of course, the various administrative stars at the edge of the Milky Way have maintained radio silence, and there is no way to convey this good news to the outside world."
Yang Ming sighed with a smile: "If you put it like that, I, the richest man in the galaxy, will be much more secure."
Mimi Li was surprised: "Did you make a lot of money?"
"Two-thirds of the shielding devices currently used in the Galaxy are produced by us, or the production lines provided by us are transferred."
Lu pushed up her glasses:
"With this foreign exchange business, I have rented servers from the top 100 political systems in the galaxy, and recently established hundreds of companies.
"Although my computing power is not as good as Li who owns the empire's unified network, I can already compete head-on with her."
Yang Ming muttered: "Didn't she say she wanted to borrow me? Why hasn't she borrowed it yet?"
Lu snorted: "That must be because they are afraid of our strength."
Kolev said in a deep voice: "You two, definitely don't underestimate this mechanical thinking body of the Sherman Empire. Her terror has probably not been fully revealed yet. By the way, has she activated it now this time?
"
"The management was started half a month ago."
Lu laughed:
"The empire hasn't announced it to the public yet.
"Now I'm starting to pity Labdo. He has been gearing up and preparing for so long. He was thinking about showing off his skills in front of mankind and conquering the unified network of the empire. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was just a spare tire.
"Tsk, I really want to see if the current core database of this new imperial guard has the attribute of a resentful woman."
Several people chuckled.
Yang Ming stretched and stood up: "I still have a military meeting, so everyone should have a good rest first. The insect wave is expected to break out tomorrow at the earliest, so you must keep your spirits up."
"Okay!" 026 cheered in a dignified manner.
Mimili complained: "How can I have a good rest? Now when I think about the insect swarm coming soon, I will feel all kinds of stress."
Lu asked: "Boss, the empire has sent a preparatory order to Luofeng in advance. If the insect plague in Luofeng is not harmful later and the empire is in fear, will the Luofeng fleet support the empire?"
"Can you control the intensity of the war in Luofeng?"
"It should be possible," Law responded.
Yang Ming looked thoughtful and said slowly:
"Although this is an insect swarm, as long as the fire of humanity does not go out, the effect will be equivalent to a galactic war.
"It's enough that Luofeng can take care of himself.
"In this way, Luofeng should not clear out the insect tide too quickly. If there is an administrative star of the empire in the area close to Luofeng that is in crisis, it can be rescued appropriately.
"Luofeng gives priority to supporting the nearby weak administrative stars and preparing for the next round of alliance expansion. For the empire, it is enough for me to work hard."
"yes!"
Yang Ming turned to look at Wusuo, who was standing by the porthole, quietly looking at the direction of the Queen.
Yang Ming shouted: "Bosuo, you stand behind me in this meeting! The two of us will act together later, so we need to say hello to the Imperial Military Headquarters in advance!"
"Um."
Whistle nodded solemnly and was about to turn towards Yang Ming when he suddenly frowned and stopped.
She closed her eyes, light blue lines slowly appeared on her forehead, and her pretty face gained a bit of holy light.
The blue lines slowly condensed into a laurel wreath. The laurel wreath broke away from her dancing forehead and slowly rotated above her head. A strange light shone on the Dongfeng's flagship.
The portholes were filled with colorful lights.
The normal interval of one second seemed to be stretched a thousand times, ten thousand times. Mimili, 026, and the robot controlled by Kolev fell into a sluggish state for an instant.
Only Ritsu, who has completed the upgrade, and the two ancient god life forms can still move freely at this moment.
Yang Ming glanced at Lu, and the latter's projection immediately dissipated, leaving only two words for Yang Ming:
"Faya."
Good guy, now that the war is going on, the Faya people...have come to give him and Posuo a combat mission?
