Chapter 355: Star Destroyer Weapon
With the help of the arriving expeditionary force, the survivors mounted military vehicles and rushed to the evacuation point at full speed, ready to leave the planet that was about to be destroyed
At this time, the attention of the insect swarm was completely focused on the golden fleet that stayed in the orbit of the planet, plus the heavily armed expeditionary force that rushed to support, and soon Qiao Lu rushed to the evacuation point with the survivors.
At the evacuation point, Liu Peiqiang and the investigation team were working together to resist the last crazy attack of the insect swarm, and it was precisely because of their help to defend the evacuation point that Wang Lei was able to free up his hands to reinforce Qiao Lu's side.
The expeditionary force's convoy boarded the rescue boat in turn, but under the fierce attack of the swarm, some people were destined to need to stay as cover, and the rescue boat carrying the survivors could take off smoothly.
This task naturally fell on the investigation team led by Liu Peiqiang, who also had teleportation beacons on them, and they could return to the Ark even if they did not pass through the rescue boat.
Qiao Lu was about to go down to help, but Wang Lei stopped him first: "Leave it to them here, you must not be easy to fight all the way." ”
Indeed, after several hours of bloody fighting, both Qiao Lu and the Avengers team were close to exhaustion, and it was really difficult to continue to take on the task of covering the evacuation.
Liu Peiqiang and the others were the first to be received by the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force, and at least they had a period of time to recuperate.
"But—"
Qiao Lu was still a little worried about whether there would be any accident if he left them on this planet, after all, the purification beam of the Golden Fleet was about to fall.
"Leave it to them."
Wang Lei repeated, and then ordered the rescue boat to close the hatch and prepare to leave the planet under the cover of the investigation team.
Probably because the rescue boat stayed here for too long, a large number of insect swarms were attracted over, and the final attack of the Zerg could be described as extremely ferocious, and there was even more than one thunder beast rushing over in the distance.
As the hatch slowly closed, the rescue boat retracted its bracket and prepared to take off, leaving only Liu Peiqiang and the four members of the investigation team on the ground to fight against the swarm to prevent insects from surging from all directions from having the opportunity to climb onto the rescue boat.
Of course, they were all surrounded by the sea of insects, relying on the various high-tech weapons they carried on their bodies to resist the final counterattack of the insect swarm.
Surrounded by dense insect swarms, the rescue boat gradually lifted off the ground and rose into the air, and from time to time the stinger of the stinging snake hit the shell of the rescue boat, making a loud noise and accompanied by a shaking of the fuselage.
This caused the survivors, who had just relieved themselves, to scream again, if the rescue boat crashed, they would really be finished.
"Rest assured, this is just a stray bullet." Qiao Lu hurriedly reassured everyone and said, he didn't expect the situation at the evacuation point to be so bad, it seems that they have really stayed on this planet for too long, and it has completely exceeded the original plan.
Stone held a heavy machine gun and fired wildly at the incoming insect swarm, preventing any jumping worm from having a chance to get close to the rescue boat, and suddenly a strong poisonous spine shot in the distance, directly through his chest and pierced his lungs, so that the rock-solid strong man couldn't stop spitting blood.
"Stone!"
Liu Peiqiang immediately rushed over, placed a biological force field under his feet to stabilize the injury, and raised his gun to shoot away the jumping insects that surrounded him.
"I'm sorry, sir."
The stone tried to force himself to stand up, but even if the biological force field stopped the bleeding, the toxin on the spines still spread in his body, which was not a problem that could be solved by simply activating the self-healing ability of the cells.
"You've done a good job, let's go back to the ship first."
Liu Peiqiang activated the teleportation beacon for the stone and sent him back to the Ark, where a professional medical team was ready and should be able to pull him back from the line of death.
It's just that there is one less heavy fireman in the team, which makes the pressure on the investigation team rise sharply, and the attack of the swarm seems to be unable to resist.
The old cat, which used optical camouflage to hide in the shadows to snipe, was also discovered by eyeworms, and was forced to use a teleportation beacon to escape under the siege of a large number of jumping insects and thunder beasts.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the five-person team, and under their desperate cover, the rescue boat was able to accelerate away from the range of the ground swarm, and reached the sky to rush out of the planet's atmosphere.
On the rescue boat, Qiao Lu hurriedly shouted: "Liu Peiqiang, your task is complete, immediately activate the beacon and leave that planet!" ”
However, before he could finish his words, the main guns of the Star Spirit Virgin Purification were the first to fire.
I saw a strong blue beam of light projected from the Purification, like a galaxy pouring down from space, and fell straight to the surface of the planet.
The power of this purification beam was not comparable to the previous blow, and at the point where the purification beam landed, a raging blue ripple spread out and spread directly to the surface of the entire planet.
Anything that was caught up in it was wiped out in an instant, and even a monster with a tenacious vitality like a thunder beast could not reach this terrifying energy impact, and it was evaporated in an instant, leaving only a few diamond-like crystals.
Fortunately, the rescue boat had risen high into the air and was about to break out of the atmosphere, so the shock wave of the purification beam only quickly pushed it away from the planet, and it was thrown into the planet's low-Earth orbit in a violent tremor.
In the orbit of the planet, Qiao Lu could see the damage caused by this star-destroying weapon more clearly, and all the places where the shockwave spread by the purification beam was burned into a reddish scorched earth, and there was something like magma flowing on it, which was actually glass that had not yet solidified.
Thick black smoke rose with the spread of blue ripples, covering almost everything on the ground, and through this gradually spreading smoke, only magnificent fireballs could be seen, as if they were about to burn everything that could be burned on this planet.
The spreading shock wave formed a glowing ring of fire, and it continued to expand, soon reaching the equatorial size of the planet, which also meant that most of the planet had been caught in a sea of fire.
At this time, the whole planet is like a star about to go out, constantly shining like a nuclear explosion on its surface, but at the same time constantly extinguishing, making it shine in space, but at the same time it does not reach the brightness of a normal star.
It was the last light of light before the entire planet burned out, and it was literally a return to light, and when it was all gone, all that was left was a dead giant glass ball.
