Chapter 59: Behind Enemy Lines
Two days later, this is the sixteenth wormhole that the small space shuttle they took took to pass through, and they have been in the small cabin for a full forty-eight hours, and the big dark cloud star field where they are currently located is far away from the realm of humans, and the information about this by humans is relatively vague, after all, this has gone deep into the traditional territory of the Zerg.
In order not to alarm the Zerg, after arriving here, their shuttle has kept its lights and communication silent, and the ion engine has been turned off, just using the taxi to fly to the next space jump point, fortunately, there is no atmospheric resistance in space, and the speed of the small shuttle will not slow down.
Li Slowxi said faintly at this time: "Thanks to the clansmen lurking in the Zerg, the coordinates of the wormhole they gave are all accurate, and everything is going well for us at present." ”
Others didn't react yet, but Qingtong glanced at Li Wanxi in surprise, not believing that a utilitarian person like her would also have times of compassion! I just don't know if this is her true feelings, or is it a coy gesture?
Suddenly, Li Wanxi got the summons from the cab, her face turned cold, and she shouted: "The gravity field is off!" All be silent! Don't run the exercises! Don't let out your mental power! You can't even poke out your senses! After speaking, the outside scene appeared on the holographic screen behind Li Wanxi.
Without the gravity body, everyone grabbed the strap to prevent themselves from floating, and when they saw the picture on the big screen, everyone was secretly frightened.
In the far reaches of space, a large area of black-pressed flying objects is staggering with the shuttle, it is a large group of space worm nests, the smallest of which is dozens of times the size of the shuttle, and the number reaches hundreds!
This is hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of Zerg are heading towards the front line, in this large area of worm nests, Qing Tong They saw the existence of many giant mother nests, which are war machines similar to human starry sky giants, which can never land on the surface of the planet, but their power in space is amazing, and they can even destroy a planet with a mid-level civilization!
Everyone in the shuttle is a little nervous, if they are discovered, they don't need the giant brood to make a move, just a space hive can easily destroy them, they can only borrow speed to escape, but then they will be exposed, this is the territory of the zerg, they are very likely to be surrounded and intercepted, and there is nowhere to hide.
No one dares to release their perception outside, although after the gravity field is turned off, the spacecraft body has no magnetic field protection, and anyone can extend the perception to space, but now no one dares to do this, the Zerg's perception of high and low frequencies far exceeds that of humans, and this is just to inform the other party of our existence.
Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is relatively long, and their space shuttle has turned off its engine and gravitational magnetic field, almost like a space meteorite, and does not emit any fluctuations, unless they are specifically detected, they will find a living human inside.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened and stared at the screen, and in the black and oppressive insect nest, a milky white "giant mussel" shaped giant mother nest gradually appeared, which was very conspicuous in the black and gray insect nest!
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "The Imperial Nest! There really is a royal nest! The Zerg actually dispatched the Emperor Worm! ”
Li Wanxi suddenly said in a low voice but contentiously: "The detection distance of the Imperial Nest is extremely far, we are very likely to be exposed, so we are all hurrying!" ”
As soon as her words fell, some of the people with strong perception felt a vast and boundless force sweeping through their area, but when they passed by them, they suddenly stopped!
"Engine start! Rush! "Li Wanxi yelled!
It was only a matter of a split second that the ion engine rotated from static, and a pale blue light suddenly erupted from behind the space shuttle, almost ejecting out!
The blue pupils were all pressed backwards fiercely, almost unable to move, but they were all evolutionaries, so their bodies were not harmed.
The Zerg are collective intelligence, the Imperial Nest discovered them, and under the transmission of ideas, the Insect Hive close to them immediately sprayed out a collective blue point of light, and then quickly grew larger and flew towards their front!
The herald behind Li Wanxi yelled in fear: "Plasma bomb! Prepare to dodge! ”
Li Slowxi glared at him angrily, he might have experienced a space battle for the first time, so he unconsciously snatched Li Slowxi's command out of fear.
The shuttle quickly changed direction, and everyone was pressed heavily against the wall of the warehouse, if there were ordinary people in it, just this one turn, their internal organs would have been crushed!
Li Wanxi clung to the railing and stared at the screen, when she suddenly noticed that under the large number of plasma bombs, there was a small black dot flying towards them, almost skipped without careful observation.
Li Slowxi calmly ordered: "There is a small team of space scorpions chasing after you!" Speed up again! ”
The herald's face turned pale suddenly, what he was afraid of was not the space scorpion, but their shuttle was dodging a large number of plasma bombs flying left and right, and if he accelerated again, he would inevitably be injured!
Although he is an evolutionary, he is only seven or eight extremes, he is just an inspector forced in by another faction of the Li family, not a combatant!
Li Wanxi didn't pay attention to the herald's face at all, the change of direction at this speed, even the rich kid Ajabi was fine, this little man who was nominally a herald but was actually an inspector died when he died, maybe it was better to die!
Another batch of plasma bullets came in front of them, and the shuttle spun around again, and the herald, who was pressed tightly against the wall of the warehouse, spewed out a mouthful of blood, seemingly mixed with fragments of lung lobes.
Li Wanxi did not change his face and ordered: "Rush straight to the vector at 5 degrees!" Space Scorpion has also accelerated! ”
The second batch of plasma bombs passed by the shuttle, the most recent one was only a few meters away, and the electromagnetic induction made their hair stand on end!
They are close to death!
However, after passing through the plasma bomb to form a barrage, Li Wanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The brood didn't stay, it seems that they don't value us, or they urgently need to rush to the front line, and the space scorpion will have to return if it flies for a while, we turn to the direct flight jump point, and we must not be intercepted!" ”
Hearing this, people who know about space battles understand that they are safe, although the space scorpion is still chasing after them, but although the space scorpion accelerates over the shuttle in a short distance, it is far inferior to the long-distance running on them, and it is impossible for them to catch up with the shuttle due to the distance between the two sides.
Li Muhao and Hongyun exchanged glances, it seems that this Li Slowxi lives up to the name of the Nine Tricks Spirit Sparrow, at least this calmness and composure is far beyond ordinary people.
They added a few more confidence in completing the task, if Li Wanxi did not command indiscriminately.
After another three days, they did not encounter a large group of insect nests, and they also quietly approached the Zerg planet to scan, and found that the Zerg on the planet were busy working, and could even be described as chaotic, and a large number of surface insect nests were shrinking from the ground to the ground, and some of them had shrunk into clumps and began to evolve towards the space insect nests.
It seems that these hives have carried a lot of resources and eggs and are ready to migrate, which is a prelude to abandoning these planets? Is the mysterious race behind the Zerg really so powerful?
Qingtong's shuttle approached a huge and vibrant planet again, and when the shuttle revolved around the planet, they didn't need to scan it electronically, Qingtong and they were shocked when they saw it with the naked eye, half of this planet was actually barren! The planet is like a razor-shaved planet, half verdant and half yellowish!
Li Wanxi pondered for a moment and ordered: "Descend slowly, get close and observe." ”
As the ship descended, the surface of the planet became clearer, the verdant half of it showed that it was a dense forest, and on the other side, it was bare land.
This sharp line could only be the result of Zerg logging, but why didn't the Zerg continue to log? Could there be that mysterious race on this planet?
With this question, everyone was afraid to come out, even though their breath was not perceived by the surface of the planet.
With their descent and still no sign of the activity of a large group of intelligent life, could it be that the Zerg have abandoned this place?
Suddenly, Qingtong felt a slight fluctuation across the spaceship, and Li Wanxi also felt it, and the spaceship's probe warned at the same time.
Li Slowxi whispered: "Stop the engine and turn off all electronic equipment." ”
The herald couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?" "Although he was injured the last time he dodged the hive, as an evolutionary, the ship has a medical bay, and he is more than half better.
Li Slowxi was reluctant to answer him, but seeing that most people were looking at her curiously and nervously, for the sake of morale, Li Slowxi smiled faintly, and pretended to be relaxed: "It should be the detection wave of the ultrasonic dragonfly, which shows that there are still Zerg hiding in the forest, and it is a battle Zerg, but looking at this scale, it should just be a vigilance team!" ”
Alert Squad? The deployment of the detection team in the rear of the Zerg seems to be aimed at that mysterious race, which also shows that they have approached the contact zone between the Zerg and that mysterious race!
Thinking of this, everyone was a little nervous, and at the same time a little expectant, the purpose of their trip was to see the figure of this mysterious race, so as to confirm their true identity.
Li Wanxi ordered again: "Slide over slowly, don't alarm the ultrasonic dragonfly." ”
The shuttle didn't descend any further, and the Ultrasonic Dragonfly's focus was on a large number of mysterious enemies, so they managed to glide through the area without alerting the Zerg hidden in the forest.
The shuttle continued to glide across the planet's surface, and they sensed a few more nets laid by the ultrasonic dragonflies, but due to the more advanced shielding of the spacecraft and the distance, they were able to penetrate without danger.
Li Wanxi suddenly pointed to a point on the screen and ordered: "Fly here!" "On the spaceship's sounder, it's a plain, but there's a lot of life.
The spaceship approached that area, and the image of that area was also projected on the large screen in the cabin, and as the picture became clear, there was a sudden commotion in the cabin.
Mankind! It turned out to be thousands of human beings! But the humans were enclosed within a tall enclosure with feeding troughs and troughs, and hundreds of powerful beetles were on guard outside the walls.
These humans are walking, they are lying down, some are eating and drinking, and this wall is more like a pen than a prison!
It turns out that there are humans in the Zerg domain, but they are all slaves, not even slaves, just livestock raised by the Zerg.
Qing Tong had been curious before this, how could there be human spies among the Zerg, humans and Zerg are definitely two different races, humans cannot be mixed into the Zerg, as long as the Zerg connects the spirit together, the individual who cannot be connected will be highlighted, even if it is Zerg on the outside, it is useless!
The Zerg basically will not rebel, because in the network of collective intelligence, it is only a small node, and its thinking will be mastered by the nodes of the previous layer, but if it has other thoughts, the Zerg of the upper layer can know it
Now she understands that if there is really a human spy in the Zerg, he can only blend in with the humans in the Zerg's captivity, and at the same time act as livestock, he risks being slaughtered and eaten at any time to pass the news to his compatriots.
Qingtong's eye frame is a little moist, the person who acts as a secret agent in the Zerg is too great, it is completely sacrificing himself to fulfill others!
This person, Li Slowxi, ordered softly: "Keep flying, investigate deeply!" ”
Qingtong stood up and asked softly, "Just watch these compatriots suffer here?" Maybe there's one of our spies! ”
Li Wanxi was a little displeased, but she didn't dare to ignore this resolute girl, she represented that very powerful small group.
She had no choice but to explain: "That mysterious race may appear at any time, we can't expose ourselves now, otherwise we will definitely be attacked by the Zerg, then we will probably not be able to complete the mission!" ”
Qing Tong felt that what Li Wanxi said had her point, and Qing Tong sat down slowly, but her frown showed that she was still a little uncomfortable.
