Chapter 5 Mechanical Ascension

Click!

The sturdy metal walls were torn open by the mechanical zergs, and more than a dozen silver-gray zergs leaped into the glass apparatus in the center of the laboratory.

Poof!

Streams of dark green blood poured out.

Without hesitation, these mechanical zergs swung their blades and stabbed at the mother worm in the laboratory, and the blades that shimmered with cold light pierced all parts of the mother's body, but the most deadly were the scars left on its brain.

At the moment of attack!

The insect mother imprisoned in the glass instrument seemed to wake up, and it suddenly opened its eyes, and a strong psionic shock erupted in its near-death state, directly turning into a shockwave that shook the nearby mechanical zerg away.

"You...... You actually betrayed me......" came the whisper of the worm mother's heart before she died.

Its brain was severely damaged, and it convulsed a little, and then its huge body was torn apart by those silver-gray mechanical bugs, and even the brain was completely split, and those mechanical bugs completely destroyed its brain structure, as if they did not want the brain tissue of the mother worm to fall into the hands of the Empire.

Thundered!

The moment the mother worm was killed, the Imperial army seemed to receive a new order, and all the guns were turned around to aim at the laboratory.

The next second.

The area was completely enveloped by terrible artillery bombardment.

The entire laboratory was completely razed, and even those who had undergone mechanized transformation could not resist such a dense artillery bombardment, and the silver-gray mechanical zerg were torn apart, and in the blink of an eye, they were already dead and wounded.

"I didn't betray you."

"It's just that you've been abandoned by the times! …… You've succumbed to humanity! …… Lamentable! ……”

The strange telepathic message rang out again: "I have found the intelligence core of the ancient mechanical worm!" ”

"The Constructed Swarm will reappear! ……”

"This planet is just the beginning of our conquest of the galaxy! ……”

A large wave of psionic energy gradually dissipated.

After killing the Mother Worm, the other Zerg began to retreat.

Some of the Zerg fell victim to thwart the Empire's counterattack, while others fled along the tunnels dug underground.

The battle is almost over.

The original purpose of these Zerg seems to be to rescue the mother worm in the lab, but later they believe that the mother worm is contaminated, and their first goal becomes to kill the mother worm.

Now that the mother worm is dead, there is no need for the swarm to be consumed here.

Bang.

Blood Rose's figure fell from the sky, and with the gushing blood, her figure smashed directly into the ground, leaving a pit several meters deep. The lightsaber that was originally flowing with blood-red light also dimmed and disappeared, leaving only a hilt of about thirty centimeters, and the battered Holy Blood Rose could no longer hold the lightsaber in her hand, and with a strong pulling force, the lightsaber in her hand suddenly flew out and fell into Su Ziyu's palm.

The armor on the other party's body looks like it can't be peeled off.

Although Su Ziyu's strength is strong, it is not strong enough to crush the other party.

That set of blood-red armor has a unique psychic protection, Su Ziyu's spiritual control is not effective at all, and it is difficult to directly subdue the opponent if he fights head-on, and he has already damaged some parts of this set of blood-red armor just a few times.

But fortunately, he finally gained something, and at the moment when he hit the enemy hard, Su Ziyu directly burst out and snatched the lightsaber in the opponent's hand.

- "Holy Blood Lightsaber (Gene Locked) [Legendary]: A psionic activated plasma lightsaber that is lightweight but can cut through most of the metal, and in the center of the hilt is an energy crystal, a very special energy crystal. Traits: Plasma, Energy Damage. [Note: This item has been genetically recognized!] 】

Gene Recognition?

After getting the blood-red lightsaber, Su Ziyu's expression couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because he found that his spiritual energy was actually actively isolated by this lightsaber, he couldn't activate this lightsaber at all, and if he couldn't activate it, this thing would be like a burning stick in his hand.

"System?"

"Can you crack its genes and recognize its owner?" Of course, Su Ziyu was reluctant to throw away the lightsaber in his hand like this.

This lightsaber actually has a genetic lock, which is even more representative of its extraordinary quality.

"Gene locking is a high-order locking mode, and cracking requires the mobilization of a lot of computing power, during which the host's spirit will be greatly impacted by data flow."

"Cracking the gene lock costs 5 Source Power points!"

"Is it cracked?"

The hint given by the space-time monitor system made Su Ziyu hesitate slightly, not because of the consumption of source power value, but because the impact of the data flow would increase his mental burden, and during this period, he would be easily distracted and unable to concentrate his spirit.

And the current situation is chaos in the underground base, full of bullets and energy beams, and it is definitely not the time to crack this lightsaber.

"Put it away first." Su Ziyu directly put the hilt of the sword in his hand into the storage space of another dimension.

He looked at the Imperial troops who were rushing to support in the distance, and did not hesitate to turn and retreat, because he saw that some of the armored units that appeared to be tanks had already turned their guns to aim at his position. The electromagnetic cannons fired by these tanks are extremely powerful and have a wide range of attacks, and if a round of artillery fire comes at them, he will be seriously injured on the spot.

The swarm has begun to retreat.

If you don't run away at this time, Su Ziyu will wait to be surrounded by the imperial army.

He flew all the way out of the underground base.

The rebels seem to have already retreated, and there are several fewer flying machines outside.

Outside the underground base.

Su Ziyu had just left the battlefield when he saw several fires falling from the sky in front of him, but if he looked closely, they were silver-white drop cabins, which seemed to have been directly airborne from low earth orbit.

"What is this?"

"Reinforcements of the Empire?" Su Ziyu instantly became invisible and lurked.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

One by one, the silver-white airborne capsules fell to the ground, and with a thud, the heavy metal gates opened, and then knights wearing various exoskeleton armor rushed out one by one.

"The Empress has ordered us to take over here!"

"Imperial Praetorian Guard."

"Destroy all the Zerg!"

Although the number of these knights who surrendered directly from low-earth orbit was small, their strength was quite strong, and they directly cut off the back path of the swarm retreat, accompanied by a bloody wreckage, those who did not have time to dive into the ground and retreat from the main gate directly suffered a devastating blow.

"Imperial Praetorian Guard?" Su Ziyu lurked in the dark and observed silently, and secretly said in his heart: "Is the empty surrender coming?" ”

"You'll have to be careful later."

It took less than twenty minutes for the battle to break out before and after, and after deducting the time for the underground base to request reinforcements, it would take them about ten minutes at most to assemble and arrive here.

This reinforcement speed is quite terrifying!
