246 Plague of Insects! Insect plague!

"Boss! The military stopped a target ship, but the ship had self-destructed, there was no biological reaction on it, and it was suspected that it was piloted by a mechanical soldier. ”

"At present, more than a dozen similar ships have been discovered, and although the military has sent more mobile ships to chase them, they have all failed to pursue."

"The military captured some images of enemy ships hitting planets."

Yang Luo's network terminal popped up the projection screen by itself.

Catherine, who was on the side, immediately leaned over and stared at the blurry video playing on the projection screen.

The ambiguity is due to the long shooting distance, and the target star and the ship where the shooting equipment is located are moving at high speed.

I could barely see a silver-white shuttle warship sailing into the atmosphere, and a scorching fire appeared outside the shield, crashing into the planet's clouds like a fireball.

Suicide ramming?

Catherine wondered, "What is this?" ”

"Natural disasters," Yang Luo said in a deep voice, "man-made disasters." ”

"What?" Catherine didn't know why.

Yang Luo patiently explained:

"Just now, the Empire's borders detected the traces of a large number of ships jumping, dozens of such ships passed through the blank area of the Empire's borders, and then scattered and jumped towards the entire territory of the Empire."

"My assistant and I speculate that this is the new federation that wants to give it a go, directly trigger all the worm burial sites, and forcibly create a large-scale second disaster for the empire."

"The only people who know the coordinates of all the buried insects are a very small number of high-ranking officials of the New Federation and a scientific research team, and they can easily do this."

Catherine frowned slightly: "Can't the Imperial Military stop them?" ”

"The empire's territory is too large, the universe is too vast, and if the empire's army is expanded tenfold, it is impossible to bring all airspace into the scope of real-time monitoring."

Yang Luo spread his hands and could only sigh:

"From the perspective of interstellar military, they all revolve around each administrative star for regional defense."

"The Empire's military power is also extremely unevenly distributed, and I can come and go freely in a small broken ship, let alone infiltrate the new federation that the empire has been doing for an unknown number of years."

"What I'm thinking about now is, the new Federation dares to make such a move, are they ready for an all-out war with the Empire?"

"Or, so many times ago, the empire only dared to fight a border war, so that they could confirm that the empire was already strong and powerful, and wanted to directly bring down the empire in one wave?"

Catherine fell silent, took out her communicator, and began to search the Superalter's intranet.

Yang Luo patted his knees, got up and walked to the window, and also began to retrieve information.

However, he searched part of the new CIA's database.

According to Ritsu's quick investigation, none of the new federal agents she monitored were aware of the operation, and the level of secrecy was extremely high.

The hidden headphones in the ears kept coming the report of the law:

"Boss, the Dongfeng is about to arrive."

"Boss, three swarm riots have been discovered, and it has been determined that these ships are the keys to activating the swarm, and they seem to have some way to make the swarm riot directly. The swarm is moving the queen out of the crust where she is hiding, and all three swarms are moving in the direction of the administrative star closest to them. There is a swarm hideout, just inside the administrative star system...... It is predicted that in the next few hours, there will be at least thirty or so Tier 4 swarm riots, and the disaster level cannot be calculated. ”

"Boss, Lieutenant General Thomas has sent a call."

Yang Luo pressed the virtual button, and a bust projection immediately appeared in front of him.

Vice Admiral Thomas was already standing on the command platform of the regimental flagship, and in the rear he could see running figures everywhere, nervously preparing for battle.

"Hanton."

"General Thomas!"

Yang Luo immediately gave a military salute.

"Thank you for the timely reminder, it has been confirmed that the new Federation has launched an attack on us!" Lieutenant General Thomas said in a deep voice, "They tried to detonate all the remaining worm sites...... Damn it! We should have thought they would do this a long time ago!"

Yang Luo said: "General, I didn't anticipate the crisis in this area in advance, my focus is on the extraterritorial high-level insect swarm. ”

"This is a mistake on the part of the MIA," said Lieutenant General Thomas indifferently, "the MIA is the eyes of the military department, and now, these eyes have lost most of their functions." ”

Yang Luo asked: "Has the military begun to respond?" ”

"K has activated the national emergency defense system, the border guards have assembled to defend back, and the local defense forces have launched a full-scale search for the swarm."

Lieutenant General Thomas's face became more and more gloomy, and he continued:

"We've captured a total of forty-two target ships, and we've only intercepted one yet, and they've drilled into the gaps in our local defenses with pinpoint accuracy."

"The empire has an invincible regiment of ships, but it is not assisted by an intelligence organization to match it."

"Fortunately, most of the activated swarms should be fourth-order, and although they have the ability to move at high speed within the star system, it is almost impossible to move across the star system."

"The next most important thing is the buried insect sites in the administrative star and star system, and we will also prioritize these insect swarms."

"Captain Hanton!"

"Yes, General!"

"Now, the Imperial Military needs your strength, your ancient technology, and your ability to decapitate the mother worm!"

"The military department has given you temporary privileges, allowing you to freely navigate all the star fields of the empire outside the Emperor Star Circle, and allowing you to access the local defense system where the insect plague has broken out!"

"Protecting the population is the mission of the military! Are you willing to accept this task? ”

"Yes! General!"

Yang Luo shouted at the top of his voice.

Lieutenant General Thomas nodded: "There will be an information team here that will be responsible for providing you with information about the insect plague, go ahead, White Ghost, the Empire will not forget your exploits...... Neither will I. ”

The projection communication ends.

Ritsu immediately said: "Boss, the Dongfeng has arrived in a synchronous orbit and can start particle transmission at any time. ”

Yang Luo put his fingers against the ear piercing and sucked out the hidden headphones directly.

He saw a few figures walking on the side, and he didn't shy away from anything, and said directly:

"In the name of the white ghost, prepare a live broadcast on the whole network, try to collect information about insect plagues in various places, and spread it as widely as possible."

"Hanton?"

Hanton's father frowned and called, "You're going to get busy, aren't you?" It's only been back for less than two days."

"Well, I'm sorry."

"No, no, you don't have to apologize to us," said Hanton's father, "you have to go and do these big things, and the family can't be an obstacle to you, just go, just go...... Do you want to hug it? ”

"Of course," Yang Luo took the initiative to move forward.

Hanton's father stretched out his hands a little unnaturally, and he was just going to hug his son shallowly, so he couldn't help but hug his son's back tightly and slapped it a few times.

Catherine hugged Hanton's mother softly.

"Come on," Father Hanton waved his hand.

Yang Luo nodded, winked at Catherine, and just as Catherine was about to leave with him, Yang Luo suddenly turned his head and pushed open the window of the balcony, and flew out directly with a brisk step.

"I'll transfer it back first, Catherine, you wait for the Stinger ship to pick it up!"

A beam of strong light crossed the daytime sky, and the end hit Yang Luo, and Yang Luo's figure disappeared directly.

The corners of Catherine's mouth twitched slightly.

Well, she hasn't had time to contact her own team's Stinger Ship yet.

Dongfeng left orbit at full speed and headed for the gravitationally stable zone.

When Yang Luo returned, there were already more than a dozen robots busy everywhere on the bridge, and the tail cabin was also in full swing, with tracked robots carrying ammunition and energy for mechs and small assault boats.

Ritsu's life-size projection appeared to the side, and the tight-fitting combat suit on her body indicated that she was in full combat readiness.

"Boss, after calculation, the forces that the empire can temporarily mobilize are not enough to start a war against all the swarms, and can only encircle and suppress seven to nine fourth-order swarms at the same time, and if they are dispersed to resist, they can resist half of the swarms. It will take some time for the rest of the empire to build. ”

Yang Luo said: "As long as not all the worm burial points are close to the administrative star, they should be able to deal with it." ”

"But boss, ships also need to be resupplied," Ritsu reminded, "unless the empire has more warships in reserve, it will take time for the fleet to move and deploy, and this time there will almost certainly be mass casualties." ”

"This is not what we should care about, Law, this is not the falling wind, our strength can only be described as meager compared to the national strength of the Sherman Empire."

Yang Luo sat in the captain's chair and stared at the data sliding at high speed on the dial in front of him.

The Dongfeng began to make the leap towards the airspace where the first high-threat insect swarm was located.

Yang Luo frowned and asked, "The time when the buried insect site was detonated has also been calculated?" ”

"Yes," Ritsu reminded, "The Imperial military has detected that more than thirty enemy ships have self-destructed within half an hour, and the existence of fourth-order insect swarms has been found in the self-destruct area, and some enemy ships have not been detected, and it is expected to detonate the insect swarm within the same time period." ”

Yang Luo sank into the chair and cursed a few foul words in a low voice.

The Dongfeng completed a continuous transition, and the starry sky outside the porthole has returned to stability.

Directly in front of it, a large projection screen appeared, on which appeared a simplified map of the empire's borders; Clearly visible on the map, dozens of red halos spread outward from all corners of the empire.

"The time has come to test the local armies of the Empire."

Yang Luo exhaled softly and was slightly distracted by the big screen.

"Is there any news from Hera?"

"Not yet," Ritsu reported quickly, "but I heard Miss Hera frowning and muttering something, as if to say that the biters were angry and that they would do anything to get revenge on the humans...... Boss, the military sent a picture of the swarm leaving the hive. ”

"Take a look."

$$ is said to be 59 people giant.

The video given by the military this time has finally become much clearer.

A dozen highly maneuverable cruisers pursued one enemy ship, and after successive jumps, only six cruisers pursued behind the enemy ship.

Before entering the effective range of the Imperial Cruiser, the silvery-white battleship burrowed into the atmosphere, resisting atmospheric friction with a protective shield, and smashed straight into the surface without slowing down at all.

The planet is like a hammer hammer.

In the aftermath of the explosion, adults with a body length of four to six meters drilled out of the cracks, as if they were looking at the starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble, more cracks appeared in the ground, and the ground seemed to rise as a cloud of black mist, and when I zoomed in on the picture and looked closely, I found that it was an adult moving at high speed.

From the impact on the surface to the swarm riot, it was only half an hour before and after, and dozens of black 6 rain clouds appeared in the atmosphere'.

The approaching cruiser tried to attack, but a dozen ion beams blasted into the atmosphere, only opening some tiny holes in the rain clouds.

The swarm's counterattack was even more ferocious, and the sky was full of light and rain sprinkled into outer space, and hundreds of battleship insects with a body length of hundreds of meters slowly rose into the air, and the main cannon composed of giant cannon insects on it fired synchronously.

The two cruisers were destroyed almost instantaneously after being set on fire.

The rest of the ships quickly retreated, driven away from the planet's vicinity by the swarm.

Fortunately, they released some miniature probes in advance, and recorded the images of what was happening on the planet's surface perfectly.

Those adults floating in the sky are just a means of defense and cover.

The earth became full of holes, countless adult worms crawled out of the ground, and all kinds of special insects lined up into the cavity of the battleship worm's abdomen.

Hundreds, millions, millions.

The swarm of insects that were angry for some reason actually poured out of the nest at this moment.

It was rare for the bloated female worm to appear directly on the surface, but now, the female worm had been lifted out and burrowed into the Zerg battleship made up of four battleship bugs.

The swarm began to rise en masse.

With the mother worm as the core, a large number of adults flew up, using their bodies as materials, and laid out layers of 'encirclement' around the mother worm......

When the insect swarm flew out of the atmosphere, it was no longer dense and overwhelming, but gathered into a hundred Zerg warships of different sizes.

They manipulate the simulated gravity field, and use the simulated gravity to provide powerful acceleration for the insect ship; Far more powerful than ordinary humans, they can withstand the oppression and tearing caused by extremely high acceleration.

Their purpose is clear.

Towards the nearest human settlement.

retaliation against humanity;

Occupy the home of humanity!

Some of the swarms are fortunate enough to have discovered that the planet where humans have gathered is not far away.

But most swarms have to make a long transgalactic flight, like this video given by the military, and even if the swarm accelerates to sub-light speed, it will take several light-years to reach the planet they are going to.

However, the name of the Zerg is Space Zerg.

They are cosmic creatures who, in their long years of evolution, have possessed the ability to conquer space.

The latest videos were continuously sent to Yang Luo's eyes.

The Zerg battleship group rushed to the gravitational equilibrium zone, and the two battleships at the front suddenly cracked, and more than a dozen strange insects with a body length of 100 meters and shaped like ladybugs jumped out of it.

The law gives a mark: fifth-order special insects, burrowing insects, and fourth-order insect swarms are born with a small probability of mutation.

Their names are simple, but they are the butcher knife handles that caused the great civilian casualties that followed the Empire.

A burrowing insect curled up, its entire body suddenly collapsing inward, silently blasting out a black hollow.

An adjacent field appears within the void, apparently at the edge of the galaxy.

More than a dozen burrowing insects quickly flew into the hollow, each curling up and self-destructing, and the edge of the hollow was rapidly expanding.

The Zerg warship group burrowed into the void and reached the edge of the star.

Another batch of burrowing worms came forward.

Continuous short distance shuttle space!

This is the true strength of the fourth-order insect swarm after the space zerg leaves the underground.

"K has confirmed all the swarms, a total of thirty-nine swarms have been triggered, forty-two administrative stars are threatened by insect plagues, and the time for the zerg to reach the target administrative star ranges from one hour to twelve hours."

"Miss Hera reports: The Zerg will take bloody revenge on humans, and if the insect swarm is wiped out in a large area, there is a high probability that it will attract extraterritorial insect swarms."

"The Empire is about to suffer a full-scale attack from the Second Plague."

"Law, plan the insecticidal route," Yang Luo's voice was still calm, "to get rid of the most female insects is the highest priority." ”

"It's planned, there's an encounter with the first wave of biters in half an hour, and you need to prepare for battle now."

Yang Luo nodded in response, sat in the chair and watched the big screen for a while, then got up and rushed to the tail cabin.
