Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

The ensuing explosions violently spread across the entire airspace, and the powerful impact formed a violent wave of air, like the scythe of death, sweeping everything in an elusive trajectory.

Around the massive mothership hovering outside the asteroid belt, the star field trembled violently, as if the entire universe had been distorted.

But that's far from the end......

Because......

There were sparks of explosions everywhere, stray bullets flying everywhere, it was like a group of demons dancing! Those curvy silver "eagles" turned into cosmic dust one after another in the cannon fire that covered the sky and the sun......

It's just desperate!

But that's not the most desperate.

Even more desperate is ......

"Alert! Alert! The life support system is damaged and oxygen is starting to leak! ”

"Engine Overload Warning! Slow down now! ”

……

When Second Lieutenant Qin Feng piloted the "Banshee" interstellar fighter to penetrate the asteroid belt again, the on-board navigation computer used its own ordinary electronic voice one after another to send out all kinds of terrifying prompts.

And outside the porthole, the dense rain of insect bullets still continued to explode around him, shaking the crumbling cockpit with a powerful shock wave.

With almost destructive force, he flicked the lever desperately, but ......

But he still can't shake off the damn Worker behind him.

Or more people prefer to call it a "worker bee".

Although, frankly, it is still unclear how these hideous monsters control themselves and control flight in the vacuum of space, there is no doubt that their extremely high flight speed and characteristic scatter attacks are a real headache.

Even as the ace pilot of the Earth Defense Force, Qin Feng was now almost cornered by it!

But!

It was at this time that a passing asteroid began to rapidly expand its size on the onboard imaging instrument!

Here's your chance!

"Collision Warning! The relative orbital speed is too high, and there are 300 meters left to collide with an asteroid! Please take circumvention measures immediately! Please ...... now."

The endless warning sounds of the navigation computer are in your ears......

Every word echoed in the pilot's ears like the grim reaper's grin......

Therefore, Qin Feng could only ......

Turn it off completely!

Switch to manual operation!

It's only 300 meters, and at your own speed, you have less than 3 seconds left!

Behind him, the "worker bee" that was biting his back hemisphere was still in hot pursuit, and the ugly mouthparts sprayed deadly insect bullets and constantly exploded against the fighter plane!

200 meters! 100 meters! 50 meters! 10 meters!

Now is the time!

Qin Feng pulled up the joystick suddenly, and the "Banshee" was like a flying swift in the air, cutting out a beautiful whirlwind, and in the moment when it was about to collide with the asteroid!

Climb!

And then!

270° U-turn! Directly bitten into the back hemisphere of the other party!

What is the Jedi Counterattack!

That's it!

But......

I have to admit it......

The target in front of him is very weird, even if his vital position, the back hemisphere, is bitten by the opponent, it is still difficult!

Its shooting bias ran very fast, and several times it ran out of range at the moment when he opened fire, so that Qin Feng had to manually cut the inside line again and did two small maneuvers in a row before finally ......

Completely put it into your own sights!

"Looks like that's all you have to do here." He thought so.

With a quick press of the firing button on the side joystick, the 7.7mm airborne Grimm electromagnetic gun suddenly sprayed a relentless tongue of fire, and a series of tracer bullets hit the target with unmistakable accuracy.

Qin Feng let out a long sigh.

With a sense of relief, he looked at the guy in front of him who almost killed himself, bursting out with dazzling blood sprays......

Then, like a paper kite with a broken thread, it fell towards the deep space.

"Well done, boss! It is worthy of being the 'crash king' of our Second Air Force! In the on-board radio communication instrument, the slightly excited voice of wingman Lin Yi came.

"What's going on with the 'Ark' now? Isn't hyperspace jumping ready yet? ”

Ignoring the other party's compliments, Qin Feng quickly checked the condition of the fighter, and then asked the question he was most concerned about.

After all...... If the "Ark" is destroyed, then the desperate battle they have been fighting all these days, and the hardships they have paid so much sacrifice, will be in vain.

Just because, the "Ark" is not only the mothership that carries these pilots of them, but also the people he has to protect no matter what.

It also carries ......

The Last Human!!

Three years ago, the sun suddenly aged, and the collapse of the core turned the entire planet into a red giant, and after destroying the earth, the only remaining human beings!!

"Not ready, don't know what those guys in the power pack are up to, don't you know that we're dying every minute here?" Lin Yi complained loudly.

"Instead of issuing senseless curses there...... Watch your back! ”

Just now he wanted to return the salute to complain with a little ease, but he was suddenly shocked by the scene captured in the corner of his eye, and retracted the second half of the sentence, Qin Feng unconsciously reminded loudly, while skillfully pulling up the joystick.

The "Banshee" fighter rolled a beautiful somersault and quickly bit the "worker bee" that was trying to circle Lin Yi's back hemisphere, and a series of long point shots caused it to fold its wings in the air, and finally ended up with the same bleak end as its companion.

"Holy! Damn bed bugs! ”

However, the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe did not teach this hot-blooded pilot to be cautious, Lin Yi instead let out an angry roar, shook the nose of the plane, and swooped down fiercely in the direction of three o'clock in the lower left.

"Lin Yi!"

Whether it is to reprimand him for leaving his post without permission, or to awaken the other party to recognize reality...... It doesn't make sense anymore.

Because the "banshee" who had just dived down, even if it was less than a second later, a heart-rending scream came from the airborne radio communication instrument.

And even more because ......

Qin Feng looked left and right, the "worker bees" that were still surging like a tide were almost submerged, and even the brilliance of the sun was about to be drowned, and a deep sense of powerlessness still crept into his heart silently.

"Cobra Squad reports that we lost Cobra III."

Switching channels slightly, the former ace pilot, made a heavy report to the squadron.

"Hold on! Cobra One! The squadron replied with an irreversible death order, "The console requires us to hold on for fifteen more minutes before the mothership can complete the hyperspace jump!" ”

Is it?

Fifteen more ...... Minutes?

Looking at the bee colony that can cover almost the entire star field, and the sparks that continue to explode around, look at the "worker bees" that are getting closer and closer......

Qin Feng took a deep breath.

It seems that there is no way......

It can only be ...... That's it!

Though......

"Definitely! I'm coming back......"

Nailed to the photo on the dashboard, the bright-eyed girl smiled sweetly, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly seemed to be still revealing a silver bell-like voice:

"I'll wait for you...... Come back for dinner......"

Under the dark brown pupils, the fair skin is called an outstanding beauty, which can easily attract any man in an instant. A beautiful girl with long coffee-colored hair that is over the shoulders is always habitually tied up in a double ponytail, and there are always two pure white bow hairpins tied on both sides of her hair-

Haruka Ito.

Merely......

It seems that the time has finally come to say "I'm sorry......

I'm sorry, Haruka......

Maybe I've ...... Can't go back......

However, there is no way around it. Who made me ...... Is it a soldier......

I promised to guard the last hope of mankind just like I did you...... What about the soldiers......

So, I'm sorry, Haruka......

Qin Feng silently said goodbye to the girl in his heart.

And then......

"Yanaga, Crando! Come with me, let's clean up the hive at six o'clock on the lower right and use the A column! ”

In the communicator, the second lieutenant's calm, but resolute, voice was heard.

"Are you crazy? Qin! ”

Because it was a public channel, soon, before he could get a reply from his subordinates, the squadron leader's voice that had been slightly changed due to shock had already shouted out from the same channel: "You're going to attack the hive?!" ”

"Yes, that's the only way." Qin Feng's words were concise and to the point.

"There must be a limit to chaos! That's the mother nest of the 'worker bees', and it's the most critical ...... for these reptiles."

"But is there any other way for us to do anything else?" What interrupted the squadron leader's chatter was Qin Feng's sudden opening at the end, transmitted at a higher volume, with an extremely strong rebound, "Fifteen minutes left, a full fifteen minutes!" Is there any other way to keep us going? ”

Then, as if to confirm his words, two terrible screams were heard in a row on the public channel.

Two more "Banshees" were lost......

In less than a minute......

In the channel, the pilots who were still looking for support and distributing firepower seemed to be shocked by these two not uncommon calls, and they all fell silent, and even the squadron leader who was shouting a moment ago was silent, just using that embarrassing noise to show that he was not offline.

"What do you need me to do?"

It didn't take long for the high-pitched and passionate voice to reappear in the communicator in a low, resigned posture.

"Let the turret attract fire in the direction of five o'clock on the left and three o'clock on the right, where the 'worker bees' are too concentrated to interfere with our rush too much."

“…… One minute, is that enough? ”

"Enough, as long as you can rush in." Qin Feng smiled silently, and a trace of determination flashed on his resolute face.

Yes, as long as you can rush in......

Because of the attack on the hive......

Although it is indeed an effective method...... It is also the only way to go......

It's just that the odds of survival are ......

"Yanaga, Crando! Come with me, let's clean up the hive at six o'clock on the lower right and use the A column! The lieutenant didn't think any further, but repeated the original instructions again.

“…… Roger that! ”

"Understood!"

"Excellent! Pay attention to tactical evasion, there is no need to entangle with those reptiles in the middle, pay attention to follow my movements when you are confused, I will find a way to guide you, now ......"

Then, just when the former ace pilot, while doing the final on-the-spot guidance, pressed down the nose of the plane and prepared for a dive attack......

What interrupted his deployment was still the deep and subtle voice of the squadron leader:

"Hey, Qin!"

"Huh?"

“…… God is with you! ”

……

Qin Feng didn't answer, and he didn't have time to answer, because between brief communications, he had already seen the two "banshees" belonging to Liu He and Crandor gathered around him.

The formation began to dive sharply.

The cockpit was trembling slightly, Qin Feng was familiar with dodging the microorganisms constantly ejected by the "worker bees", this kind of beetle the size of a cannonball is very explosive, and the body fluids can even erode through the steel plate, as long as it is stained, with the fragile armor of the "banshee", it can't stop its blasting power at all.

It's just that even this kind of dense rain-like attack, between the various tactical evasions of the "Banshee's" elegant and poetic nature, can only explode helpless sparks on Qin Feng's side......

But the good times didn't last long......

"Ah!!h

Soon, there was another brief scream on the communicator.

It's Yanaga!

He couldn't make it......

There is only one wingman left......

No, it should be said that even if there is only one wingman left, even if he is the only one left, even if it is to the extent that his life is staked......

Quests must also be completed! The hive must also be destroyed! Nothing can stop him!

Because that's the only hope for everyone to keep going......

Closer, closer......

The target is constantly enlarged, and what appears in front of me is a huge egg-like hive, which is also the "base" and "empty finger center" of all worker bees.

As long as it is destroyed, then the "worker bees" in the sky will become a swarm of headless flies without a dragon. This is also the only way to hold out for 15 minutes in front of the "worker bee" swarm, which has an absolute advantage in numbers.

Closer, closer......

At this visual distance, it is already clear that the regular holes in the hive are full of disgusting pale green slime, and the wriggling holes are constantly spewing out one worker bee after another. He could even make out the deep bloodlust and ferocity on their hideous faces.

Closer, closer......

Qin Feng took the lead in firing, and a series of tracer bullets whistled down from the air, and the hole of the hive and the surrounding areas were suddenly stirred up with a large amount of blood. Qin Feng clearly saw that a "worker bee" that was trying to struggle to take off had its wings broken, and then quickly lost its balance, and its body was quickly ruthlessly beaten into a sieve by a 7.7 mm caliber tracer bullet at close range, and the blood splattered out of its twisted body was so shocking......

Victory, it seems......

Even if this is just an ordinary one of the countless beehives besieging the mothership, even if it is completely destroyed, the impact on the entire battle situation can only be minimal......

But no matter what, reducing a hive always buys you a little more time, doesn't it?

You can always win a little more hope for everyone, don't you?

It can always be Haruka...... Got a little more hope of living, didn't it?

Even if it comes at the cost of ......

Merely......

"Ensign! Be careful with your back ...... Yes!!! ”

With the last scream of the wingman, Qin Feng turned his head suddenly, only to find that behind him, at some point, a demon god-like figure actually rose-

Behemoth!

"No—"
