Chapter 6: Distress Signals
Hercynian 5, an asteroid with a diameter of only about 100,000 kilometers, is at the very edge of the entire white swirling arm of the Hunting Constellation Galaxy, and is also the farthest planet from the star in the Hercynian Galaxy.
From a distance, the entire planet forms a brown patch, thin white cloud, scattered across the planet's surface.
For the vast territory of the Atlanta Federation, this is a waste star with extremely poor resources and scarce mineral resources. If it weren't for the large areas of bluegrass growing on the planet, which were more suitable for the needs of animal husbandry, there would be a few federal people stationed there.
However, due to the special remote location of Haixi 5 in the Federation, it has a prosperous airport that is extremely inconsistent with the population, which is also the source of materials for the life of nearly 300,000 people on the planet.
The peaceful life of the original remote planet has now been replaced by the thick smoke of gunpowder, and the sudden arrival of the Zerg out of nowhere has turned the prosperous airport into a ruin of broken steel, scattered fragments, floating everywhere on the stationary orbit outside the planet.
There were also human remains, as well as unknown broken insect corpses, and from the debris emerged the desolate figure of death, floating lonely in the dark space.
Lu Fan sat in the command chair of the control center of the Flowing Frost spacecraft, quietly looking at the broken scene in the holographic image in front of him, the shocking and cruel scene made him shudder in his heart.
The Frost starship, which had just emerged from the jump point of the Kinghunter system, received a distress signal from Star 5. This made Lisa hurriedly inform Lu Fan, who was still on the silver-winged mecha and was desperately fighting, but she controlled the spaceship and accelerated to the place of the incident.
Lisa, who had originally planned to replenish at the No. 5 Star Harbor, was also shocked by the tragic scene in front of her, and lost her clever tongue to tease Lu Fan in the past. Lisa has not returned to the Federation for tens of thousands of years, and now the war with the Zerg has spread to the farthest borders of the Federation. This made her worry about the fate of the entire Federation.
From the time when Lisa followed her master to Earth, the friction between the Atlanta Federation and the Interstellar Zerg has always been dominated by the Federation's superior technology, and the battle between the two sides has been more victorious than defeated.
And the area of friction between the two interstellar races is also limited to the margins of the Luland galaxy controlled by the Atlanta Federation. From the Lulan Galaxy to the middle of the King Hunter Galaxy, the cosmic distance spanning tens of millions of light years is equivalent to the forefront of the Federation, and the war has been stretched to the very end.
How powerful have the Zerg been? Could it be that the entire Atlanta Commonwealth has been defeated? This strong uneasiness made Lu Fan and the two of them in a trance in their hearts, and Lisa was even more rare not to count Lu Fan again.
"023 Base Requests Support...... I'm Academician Chrissy."
"Call for help...... 023Base Request for Support...... There is only the last layer of the three layers of protective armor left! …… There are also 400 ranch workers in the base, calling for help......"
A woman's crisp voice cries for help rang out in the spacecraft's communicator from time to time, and her anxious tone could be heard that the situation was not optimistic.
Lu Fan and Lisa's beautiful holographic figures, listening to the content of the call for help, looked at each other. This also made Lu Fan's head tremble, the distress signal was received, and the other party's situation was also very critical depending on the situation. But there is one person and one ghost on the spaceship, and in Lu Fan's heart, Lisa is a thousand-year-old female ghost who crawled out of the ground to fix him.
Lu Fan is a human born on the earth, and the embarrassment of the Atlanta Federation has nothing to do with him. But Lu Fan is not the kind of person who can't be saved when he sees death, not to mention that the other party is also a human being! But he was incompetent, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to it in his conscience, which made Lu Fan's heart tangled, and his forehead became a deep Sichuan character.
And at this moment, Lisa's beautiful blue eyes stared at Lu Fan, who was bowing his head in front of him, and her eyes kept turning, her eyes were scattered for a while, and she made a helpless expression.
After a while, he showed a firm gaze, snow-white teeth, biting his pink lips, looking at Lu Fan's emaciated figure, revealing a complicated look, with both pity and resentment, and a hint of reluctance.
In the end, Lisa quietly came to Lu Fan's side, and in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, she lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "Your Excellency Lu Fan, we must go to the rescue, this is the responsibility entrusted by the Federation to the owner of the spaceship." His eyes rolled and he sighed: "Now, you have inherited everything from your master, and you must also fulfill your master's responsibilities......!" ”…,
When Lu Fan saw Lisa say this, he was already taken aback before he noticed her gentle tone now, and blurted out: "How to save it?" I'm ...... alone."
"Yes, Your Excellency......!" In Lisa's soft tone, there was no doubt: "The Flowing Frost spaceship has powerful firepower, and your Silver Wing Mecha is the crystallization of millions of years of civilization and technology of the Federation!" ”
"Besides, we are not going to defeat the Zerg, we are just going to rescue more than 400 innocent ordinary humans, I believe that with the powerful equipment in our hands, there should be no problem."
"...... this?" Listening to Lisa's tactful answer, Lu Fan couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, more than 400 lives, if he really turned a blind eye, I'm afraid Lu Fan wouldn't be able to forgive himself afterwards.
There was a hint of uncertainty in his mouth: "Lisa, then let's try it?" If we can't, we can only give up...... What do you think? ”
"Uh-huh......! Lu Fan ......! You get on the Silver Wing mech first and stand by at any time, and I'll control the spaceship to land. ”
Lisa looked at Lu Fan's back in a hurry to Gnaku, her expression was gloomy, and finally she was reluctant for a while, her small mouth opened silently and stopped abruptly, and she silently thought in her heart: Master, be careful......!
The Frost Starship, a half-moon-shaped streamlined hull, under Lisa's control, deftly dodged the wreckage of various sizes in space, and approached the atmosphere with the graceful movements of swallows skimming water.
Lu Fan, who had already climbed into the cockpit of the mecha, grabbed the joystick's palms wet, full of sweat from being too nervous, his violent heartbeat was about to jump out of his throat, and his round eyes were staring at the front of the mecha, and the information image synchronized with the spaceship.
As the spacecraft approached the atmosphere, and gradually tilted the angle, Lu Fan only felt a violent shaking of the entire mecha, and after just a few tens of seconds, the entire spacecraft had already penetrated the atmosphere and went at high speed towards the location marked by the 023 base distress signal in the window map.
After the spacecraft descended to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, it slowly slowed down, and the surface appearance of the entire planet had already entered the window of Lu Fan's mecha. From a distance, there were dense wriggling black shadows on the ground, and there were several huge insect shadows flying at low altitude in the air.
Lu Fan casually clicked the window, and in the dark shadow on the ground, the hideous-looking Zerg body was already close at hand. The oval-shaped head, covered with thick and ugly insect beetles, and the hideous compound giant eyes, make people shudder.
Under the black abdomen, eight slender insect legs covered with black hair, strong and sharp, were jumping on the ground like thunder, heading towards the coordinate point of the distress signal in groups.
