In the command center of the Longtan base, Guo Ling was standing on the holographic command platform with several staff officers, pointing to the three-dimensional map of the planet Tiklu, and discussing something in a low voice. On the holographic map, the red mark representing the swarm is much larger than half a month ago. At that time, Lei had not yet been recovered by Haoyi, and the entire star area was under the control of its only brain worm. After Lei was recovered by Haoyi, the "warlord melee" caused by the insect swarm, although at the beginning, it once weakened the strength of the alien insects. However, the ensuing abnormal rebound in the swarm territory greatly surprised the commanders of the Forces nouvelles at all levels.

If this situation continues, although it will inevitably be a large-scale scuffle between the major "warlords" Shili of the Zuihou alien insects, the human beings caught between these insect swarm warlords Shili will inevitably be hit by a near-devastating blow first. From this point of view, Haoyi's choice to believe in Lei and return the worm to it to help it regain its ability to control the entire planet and even the entire star region insect swarm can be said to be a rather helpless gamble.

If the bet is successful, the new army will be able to regain control of the development of the entire battle situation with the help of Lei. And if the situation gets out of control, it is difficult to say whether Lei will get rid of Haoyi's control and once again push the new army into a desperate situation.

Although there are such and such worries in his heart, as Haoyi's right-hand man, Guo Ling still chooses to unconditionally believe in and support Haoyi's gamble. Right now, he is coordinating the new armies in various places and readjusting the deployment of troops, so that after Haoyi returns, he can organize the new army as soon as possible and wipe out the alien insects Shili one by one with the help of Lei.

"General, the commander of the outer space defense network sent an urgent telegram, saying that an anomaly has been discovered!" After receiving an urgent encrypted communication, a staff officer walked quickly to Guo Ling's side and whispered a report in his ear.

"Oh?" Guo Ling was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to signal the other staff officers to return to their posts first.

"What's the situation? Say! Guo Ling frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"The information says that the outer space defense network has discovered that a merchant ship has suddenly appeared in our star field, and then suddenly there is a violent explosion. Before the commander of the defense network could make contact with the merchant ship's personnel, the merchant ship suddenly disintegrated, and an escape pod broke away from the merchant ship and flew directly towards our Tikru ground! This is the video footage captured by the defense net! As he spoke, the staff officer clicked on a video button in the corner of the command platform, and a video clip was played.

In the video, a small civilian escape pod is rapidly passing through the outer space defense network of Tikru, bringing a wave of fireworks formed by friction with the atmosphere, and crashing straight to the ground with a roar.

"Can you determine the identity of a merchant ship?" Looking at the very bizarre escape pod, Guo Lingjian's eyebrows suddenly furrowed even deeper.

Since the invasion of St. Prolis' Star by the Alien Insects, the government of the Star Region has almost completely cut off contact with the outside world, and all economic industries related to the outside world, including tourism, have also been stopped. I can't remember how long it's been since I've seen a merchant ship flying from an alien zone. Perhaps, because of this, the merchant ship that suddenly appeared and suddenly exploded and disintegrated seemed a little weird.

"According to the video information sent by the commander of the defense network, the intelligence department analyzed that this merchant ship is very likely to be a cargo merchant ship from the Poole Star District."

"Poole?" Guo Ling was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously said, "Where is the territory of the Fifth War Zone?" ”

"Yes, General!"

"Cargo merchant ships in the Fifth War Zone? What are they doing here? Guo Ling pondered for a moment, raised his head and continued to ask, "Can you track the landing location of that escape pod?" ”

"Officer Jishu is analyzing, General!" The staff officer replied, then turned around and shouted at the other staff officer: "Simuri, have you calculated the landing location of the escape pod?" ”

"It's been calculated, sir!" The staff officer replied in a loud voice, and with a manipulation of his hands, a small hologram screen in front of Guo Ling and the two of them suddenly appeared on an undulating mountain area full of dark red soil.

"Coordinates of the fall point, XX, YY, it is expected that in two minutes, the escape pod will collide with the ground!" The officer added in a loud voice.

"XX, YY coordinates? Are there any of our troops near the crash site? Guo Ling asked in a deep voice.

"The closest to the fall point is the first task force of the new army led by my uncle, the general!" Hearing Guo Ling's inquiry, the staff officer maneuvered on the holographic command platform for a while, clicked on the target area, pointed to a blue light point mark that appeared on it, and reported back to Guo Ling.

"Task force? Is it such a coincidence? Guo Ling was stunned.

"Yes, General, according to the coordinates, my uncle's task force is 37.8 kilometers away from the fall point!" The staff officer counted a few times on the holographic map, and said to Guo Ling according to the data that appeared on it.

"Contact my uncle now! Fast! This time, Guo Ling waved his hand and ordered almost without thinking.

"I'll make up, Lao Guo, why did you think of looking for me? Haha, I'm getting ready to tell you the good news! A moment later, Hao Yi, who was wearing a vest and stepping on flip-flops, appeared in the hologram and shouted at Guo Ling with a smug face. Haoyi's appearance usually only appears after completing the combat mission.

"Uh, got rid of that brainworm?" Seeing Haoyi leisurely lit a two-and-a-half-tame cigarette, Guo Ling was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Nonsense, as long as the most invincible and handsome young master in the universe comes out, what else can't be done?" Haoyi spat out a smoke ring decently and shouted triumphantly.

"And me! The most powerful brain worm thunder in the universe! Before Hao Yi's words fell, a huge insect face suddenly appeared next to the camera, blocking Hao Yi at once, and the huge insect mouth that was still dripping with transparent and sticky saliva spat out human voices one by one.

"Mom! What the hell! Rao is Guo Ling is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he was still startled by this sudden appearance of a fat and ugly giant insect face.

"Get out of here!" The next moment, a big hand slammed the insect face away, revealing Haoyi's thin yellow face with bared teeth and grinning again. In a series of muffled wails from Lei, Hao Yi turned his face sideways and scolded angrily: "You second-class worm, don't you see that your master is busy with business?" Damn, be careful if you make trouble again, Lao Tzu picks up your insect skin, and use it as a paper paper to wipe your ass! ”

"Uh, Haoyi, was that thunder just now?" The voiceover seemed to hear a whispered complaint from Lei, and Guo Ling's scalp tingled even more when he heard it.

"In addition to those two goods, and that bug will be so shameless!" Haoyi's face was still full of anger.

"Isn't it? This thing can actually speak human words? Moreover, and ......" After getting Haoyi's confirmation, Guo Ling's shock was even more incomprehensible, and he stammered for a while.

"You're trying to say, how did this thing suddenly become so small, right?" Haoyi also guessed the surprise in Guo Ling's heart, pouted his lips and said very depressedly: "These two things swallowed that brain-like worm alive, and then suddenly evolved and mutated, not only did the volume shrink sharply, but they were also able to spit out human voices!" Damn, this product actually told Lao Tzu that what is concentrated is the essence! I'm fucking pissed off! One day, Lao Tzu was angry, and directly peeled its insect skin alive, so that Ya's essence was reinforced! ”

"So, the war is over? What do you think? Isn't it going well? Are the casualties of the contingent large? Listening to Haoyi chattering about such a brain worm as Lei, Guo Ling suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's over! The ground forces are sweeping the tail and removing the remaining insects! The casualties of the brothers are not large, and with the help of the insects and grandchildren under the hands of Lei, we have a lot of peace of mind! Hao Yi sighed lightly, and wanted to say a few words to Guo Ling in a straight way, but there was a loud noise outside the screen. As soon as Haoyi turned around, his face suddenly changed again, and he jumped to his feet angrily and scolded: "You are a second goods, if you move things again, Lao Tzu will throw you in the oil pan and fry you now!" I'm fucking angry, come on, hurry up and lock up that second-class worm! Immediately, immediately! ”

"Uh, what's wrong with Haoyi?" Listening to a series of wails and screams faintly coming from outside the faint screen, Guo Ling couldn't help but ask with black lines on his head.

"Hey, don't mention it! After the sudden evolution from this goods, he is actually like a little kid who only knows how to be naughty all day long, either smashing east or west, ya, he is about to dismantle Lao Tzu's battleship command center, and he is angry with Young Master Ben! Haoyi shook his head helplessly and complained again and again.

"Hehe, it looks like these two brainworms are still quite fun, huh?" Listening to Haoyi's complaints, Guo Ling was suddenly very curious: "Hearing you say this, I really want to see these two goods soon!" ”

"When you go back, you'll know right away that this second cargo will give you a lot of headaches! Alright, stop talking nonsense! Lao Guo, you won't be looking for me to make small talk, right? What's the matter, has something happened to our nest? Is it another swarm of stunned worms? Hao Yi waved his hand to interrupt Guo Ling and asked with a straight face.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just a little weird! The outer space defense network found a merchant ship from the Fifth War Zone and suddenly broke into our star field......" As he spoke, Guo Ling roughly told Hao Yi about the content of the report of Shicai's staff officers.

"Merchant ships in the Fifth War Zone? Could it be a passing by? After listening to Guo Ling's words, Hao Yi frowned and groaned.

"It shouldn't feel like a passerby! Moreover, not long after the merchant ship appeared, it exploded violently and disintegrated directly in space! Guo Ling shook his head and said.

"Well, that sounds weird!" Hao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "You mean that the escape pod that was separated from the merchant ship landed near the task force?" ”

"That's right!" Guo Ling nodded.

"That's easy! I'll send someone to arrest those people, and if you ask, you'll know everything!" Hao Yi pursed his lips, obviously unwilling to bother his brain cells to analyze this bizarre incident.

"Haoyi, I suggest that you be cautious! After all, this merchant ship came too strangely, and the crash site of the escape pod was so coincidental that it happened to be near the task force! Guo Ling frowned and reminded.

Seeing Guo Ling's upright appearance, Haoyi's face couldn't help but become solemn, and he groaned for a moment with his chin in his face, and said categorically: "I understand what you mean, Lao Guo!" Okay, then I'll send the Hawkeye special forces team over to take a look, so that at least I can have a little more certainty! ”
