On the planet, the old man sighed as he looked at the sparkling light that erupted in the sky.
Beside him, an old man with a missing arm said quietly:
"Another interstellar civilization ......"
"Yes, another technological civilization that has reached the interstellar level. Why is our civilization so strong? ā
"The recent battles have become more and more intense, the mood on the front line is getting bigger and bigger, and this civilization, I don't know what kind of changes it will bring."
"Let it be."
"They know the gap between legend and reality, I'm afraid it will be very devastating."
"Let them discover for themselves, everything I can hint at. This time, though, it may be a little different. I saw the masters of metaphysics in the era of Xuan Demon in this civilization. There is also a purple-haired girl, whose cultivation is unfathomable, and seems to have a lot to do with that era, but I can't see her true appearance. ā
"Interesting. The interstellar civilization of the steel torrent is actually mixed with the descendants of metaphysics 30,000 years ago. It's kind of interesting. ā
"I don't know if it's my delusion, but I feel the resonance of the exercises in the other party's leader."
"This is not surprising, the magic exercises of the year should have been handed down. Unlike metaphysics, the magic exercises do not require human bloodline, and even if someone practices it, it is normal. ā
"But the resonance is heart-wrenching."
"Oh? Exercises that can make you, known as the Guardian Venerable, tremble. What will it be? ā
The old man with the broken arm looked at the stars lit up by the engine in the white sky, and kept muttering:
"What a stubborn race, what a stubborn ......"
"We, why not...... This is the bloodline, the Zerg can cut off the power of the demons, but they can't cut the blood at the root! ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Zhou Mi is an ordinary member of the special attack team that attacks the Zerg lair. He hid quietly in a pile of stones, the starlight casting a faint shadow behind the scorched old tree, covering the pile.
Next to Zhou Mi, there were several other special attack team members.
They were tasked with destroying the hidden Zerg lair in this mountain range. The mission was nearing its end, and the battle lines of the special attack brigade in the distance were intertwined with the Zerg dogs, and the battle was inextricable.
The target of several of them is the female worm in the belly of the mountain. It's been three hours of lurking, and the mouth of the huge cave in the belly of the mountain is still pouring out with insects.
They are waiting, they continue to wait.
After a long time, the sound of fighting in the distance intensified, and Zhou Mi's fists were clenched tightly, he wanted to participate in the battle there, but the strict military regulations made him unable to. The Special Attack Brigade is the elite unit of the Terran defense line in this Star Field, and he is the elite of the elite, he understands what his fundamental task is, and it doesn't matter if one kilometer or a mountain is gained or lost.
What matters is the female worm in the belly of the mountain. If the intelligence is good and the mother worm is killed, the Zerg on this planet will not be worried, and it can even be said that the Terrans have captured another habitable planet!
Before it was time to attack, he carefully restrained his breath and looked at his comrades beside him.
The thin Tsing Yi of his comrades-in-arms made Zhou Mi slightly distracted. In this elite army, only the most elite soldiers can not wear heavy armor. It can be said that there are only two ways to take off the armor.
Either become an elite or be over two hundred and eighty years old.
Zhou Mi is of course the former, and he has always had questions about the latter situation, why can't he become an elite veteran after joining the army for decades, and he can take off his heavy armor and wear green clothes after living to be over two hundred and eighty years old?
Until a few months ago, a warrior with mediocre qualifications who knew him, on his two hundred and eightyth birthday, took off his armor, and a strong light suddenly erupted from his body, and he actually broke through directly from a demon to the realm of a demon!
At that time, he realized that for these warriors with average qualifications, the heavy armor could certainly give them a few more chances of surviving under the fangs and claws of the insects, and more importantly, they had been carrying hundreds of catties of heavy armor for decades, and once they took it off, the whole person was suddenly reborn.
There was not the slightest envy, and even, Zhou Mi pitied them a little. Because, if the talent is enough, the armor has only one function, and that is to keep the novice alive. Those who were extremely talented, such as himself, became magicians in less than a year after stepping into the battlefield, and even became the sharp-edged knife figure of the squad he was in at that time.
He only glanced at Tsing Yi of his comrades-in-arms, and the thoughts in his mind only appeared for a moment.
For no reason, Zhou Mi's mood is a little bad. He held his breath and looked around, seeing no danger, and began to wonder where the irritability was coming from.
Oh yes. Zhou Mi remembered some of the whispers he had heard outside the commander's door before he set off.
As you know, these humans, known as the Guardian Clan, have been fighting in this star field for 20,000 years. All the people of the Guardian Clan, it seems, from birth, know what their purpose in life is - to become stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger! Kill the bugs! Kill the bugs! Kill the bugs!
But from the commander's words, Zhou Mi seemed to have heard bad news.
Among the guardians, a murmur began to appear. Moreover, it seems that this murmur is not only among the youngest generation of guardians.
Zhou Mi still remembers the shock when he heard the news, and with his control of his body, he actually trembled uncontrollably a few times.
"Why do we Guardians endure this never-ending battle and death!"
"Why did our ancestors suffer betrayal, but they had to cut off their heads and shed their blood for the survival of the entire human civilization!?"
"Why do our children have to live under breathless pressure and face the threat of the Zerg all the time!?"
"As guardians, what kind of humans are we protecting? What did the lives of countless generations of guardians get in exchange? ā
Even, some words or thoughts made Zhou Mi shudder:
"Why fight the Zerg?"
"Is there any hope for peace?"
ā¦ā¦
This is a terrible message, the guardian clan is fighting for some reason!
It is conceivable that if the Zerg can negotiate peacefully, the Guardian Clan will definitely split into two extreme factions!
Fortunately, after more than 20,000 years of fighting, the accumulated hatred is darker than the abyss, deeper than the starry sky, and has cut off any hope of making peace with the Zerg.
There is a fear that makes an elite warrior like Zhou Mi feel powerless.
The Guardian Clan, whether they are fighting for humanity, or is it purely to keep fighting and fighting again so that they are not wiped out by bugs?
Or ...... Over the past 20,000 years, battle has been engraved in the blood of the civilization of the guardian race, and fighting has become a habit and even culture of civilization.
If so...... It's hard to imagine that when the Zerg are really wiped out, how will these warriors, who are born to only know how to fight, live?
He thought of the time when he had gone to the rear to recuperate and recuperate because of his injury. No one asked him to do combat training, and he still held his broken left arm and kept waving his right fist. And such a situation, on the recuperation star, is almost the norm!
The commander's words made Zhou Mi's mind drift a little far.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement around him, which made him withdraw his attention.
In the giant cave in the black belly of the mountain, the number of insects flying out has decreased significantly. The flitting, crawling bugs still have disgusting mucus on them.
Zhou Mi was overjoyed, he knew that these were freshly hatched worms, and they had escaped before they could dry their mucus. The female worm in the belly of the mountain is already at the end of the strong crossbow!
Suddenly, he was full of fighting spirit and roared in a low voice:
"Brothers, go up!"
