A lot can be inferred from the size of the brood.

The most obvious is the Zerg who owns the brood, and the civilization level of the world in which it lives.

The brood located in front of the starship "Yunni" is a typical version owned by the Zerg of the Tier 5 civilization world.

The main purpose of the brood is not interstellar combat, so there is no need to worry about the "Yunni" being quickly destroyed by the brood.

As the core of a race, the Zerg is used to multiply in times of peace and to transport troops in times of war.

Therefore, the moment the brood appeared, it meant that the "Yunni" was surrounded by countless Zerg groups that could travel short distances to the stars.

The trouble that the Yunni has to deal with is not the brood, but the Zerg who have temporarily hidden their tracks.

Shandora quickly reacted and ordered: "Turn on all the reconnaissance modes at full power, find out all the bugs hiding in the shadows, assess the battle situation, fight if you can, and withdraw if you can." ”

"Yes."

Taling replied solemnly.

In an instant, the various reconnaissance equipment of the "Yunni" was running at full power.

One after another hideous and terrifying-looking Zerg were quickly found and marked their locations one by one.

The Zerg army was densely packed, surrounding the "Yunni" from top to bottom, left and right.

They were still far away from the "Yunni", and they were out of the reconnaissance range of the "Yunni" when it was hovering, and they could not attack for a while.

Otherwise, the Zerg would not have been able to lurk so well and not be exposed until now.

What's weird is that even though the Zerg was discovered, there was no movement.

The brood didn't move, and the Zerg surrounding the Yunni didn't move, which was strange.

The abrupt appearance of the brood became a superfluous failure.

Link glanced at the holographic projection, got a general idea of the situation, and didn't pay any attention.

The "Yunni" belongs to Sandora herself, and he still doesn't want to interfere easily.

After Taling's assessment, the current balance of strength between the two sides is still in an even position, and there is no need to consider retreat for the time being.

Sandora frowned and pondered for a while, feeling that it was always a little unwilling to retreat like this.

The three original goals of this mission may still be completed.

But the three additional goals she set for herself are not the slightest chance of being accomplished.

However, before figuring out the details of the sudden appearance of the brood and this wave of Zerg, it is not a good choice to rashly take the initiative to attack.

With this in mind, she gave her latest instructions: "Don't take the initiative to attack for the time being, keep a proper distance, and don't give the Zerg a chance to gather fire." If the Zerg attack, focus on dodging and defense first, and then counterattack when the time is right. ”

"Yes."

Taling faithfully executes every command of Sandora, but automatically "patches".

The starship "Yunni" has entered a state of maneuver at any time.

The warp engine is already warming up.

As soon as there is an anomaly, you can travel at warp speed and get out of this star field.

After making these adjustments, Taling issued a reminder: "The unknown condition of the wounded has been proven, it is being treated, it is being processed, the treatment is completed, and the condition of the wounded is currently stable." ”

Hearing this, Sandora drew her attention back to the four friends lying in the transparent warehouse.

Link had been keeping an eye on the situation of the four.

He witnessed the whole process of Ta Ling's detection of the small spots on the hands of the four people from the huge and complex data, and then removed the small spots according to the recorded method.

As soon as the small spot was gone, the vital signs of the four people instantly stabilized.

After a large amount of vitality replenishment, not only is it out of danger of life, but also faintly shows signs of awakening.

"The little speck is the medium, and the way of attack is the curse."

Recalling how and when the four fell to the ground, and recalling how they felt when the aftermath of the howl attacked him, Link intuitively felt that the fatal injuries of the four were not caused by the howl attack, but for another reason.

Comparing the relevant memories and knowledge in his mind, Link came to this inference.

The decline of cursed sorcery in the wizarding world does not mean that other civilizations also lack advanced curses.

Insects, one plays with poison, two plays with curses, and three relies on a large number.

This is the common knowledge of the heavens and all the worlds.

In the wizarding world, it is only possible to curse four second-level wizards to death silently, at least by third-level wizards.

In order to achieve the goal of allowing four second-level wizards to be cursed to death without any resistance, the person who casts the curse must at least have the strength of a senior third-level wizard like Wizard Selene.

According to the real combat power of the Zerg after the decline, it is a sure thing that there is a Zerg above level 4 lurking in the mission world.

Combined with the comet-sized brood in front of Yunni, Link believes that the number and strength of the enemies they face may be far more than what is exposed.

Thinking of this, Link solemnly reminded: "I think we should retreat to safety first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

"Cowardly ......"

Without waiting for Sandora to react, the round-faced youth spoke first, and his tone was not at all modest.

"Shut up!"

Shandora glared at her and scolded, "You go to the side and calm down, don't let emotions cloud your sanity." ”

Shandora then looked at Link and asked, "Give me a reason." ”

Link doesn't take the attitude of the round-faced youth to heart.

This was to be expected.

He just answered Sandora's question in an indifferent tone, without any fluctuations in his emotions:

"I think the strength of the Zerg is much more than what is in front of you. Don't forget, those evolutionary individuals who are very likely to exist in the mission world are still hidden in the shadows and have not appeared. ”

The Zerg surrounding the "Yunni" is obviously a Zerg from the Level 5 brood.

Although it also has a human-like head, its body resembles that of a scorpion.

It is very different from the Zerg who live in the mission world and have a body similar to arthropods.

The Brood Zerg and the Quest World Zerg are two races.

Sandora had actually noticed this before, but she had her own reliance, so she was not in a hurry to attack or retreat.

I want to know more about the situation and then make different decisions depending on the situation.

After being reminded by Link, she realized that she seemed to be holding on again, so she immediately corrected her instructions: "Disengage at full speed and evacuate to safety." ”

"Yes."

Taling responded, and then asked, "The shuttle has returned, do you want to accept it?" ”

"No, evacuate directly."

Sandora didn't even think about it and refused directly.

The four friends only had a brief direct contact with the Zerg, and then they got started.

The shuttle has been moored alone in the mission world for so long, who knows if it has been used by the Zerg to do anything.

Let it go back to the "Yunni" and make some more trouble, it will not be beautiful.

Anyway, a shuttle is not worth a few magic stones, and it is not distressing to abandon it.

Sandora has a lot of money and doesn't take this loss seriously.

"Does the shuttle have a self-destruct program?"

Link asked next to him, side reminder.

"Yes."

Sandora nodded, understanding what Link meant, and then instructed Taling, "When the time is right, activate the shuttle's self-destruct program and surprise the bugs." ”

"Understood."

Taling responded, and at the same time controlled the warp engine that had been warmed up, and output power at full power.

Hovering in the quiet vacuum, the "Yunni" suddenly accelerated, from extremely static to extremely moving, and entered the warp bubble.

As long as there is no obstruction, it will take less than 1 second for the "Yunni" to break away from this star field.

However, the Zerg seemed to be waiting for the Yunni to enter a warp state.

At the moment when the "Yunni" entered the warp bubble, a very thick and brilliant beam of light was emitted from the mission world.

It stands to reason that this beam should never be able to hit a warp bubble far faster than the speed of light.

Accidents always happen against common sense.

After the beam is emitted, it has already played a role before it comes into contact with the warp bubble.

The warp bubble burst silently.

Boom.

Inside the "Yunni" sounded.

The starship is knocked down from warp speed.

The warp engine suddenly fell into a state of failure and could not be started again for a short time.

The "Yunni" lost a set of unconventional power sources, and only a conventional engine and a jump engine remained.

It doesn't lie on its stomach, but it loses its perfect mobility.

"Humph!"

The round-faced young man shook his face at Link at this time, "If you don't understand the situation, don't talk nonsense." Well, now there's something wrong. ”

This is to put all the blame on Link's head and blame it.

Link was silent.

Judging by the results so far, he does have to take the blame.

It was his advice to evacuate in time that caused the starship's warp engine to be destroyed by the long-planned Zerg.

Link, though, doesn't think so.

Instead, he was glad that he had given this suggestion and induced the Zerg's long-planned attack.

If the starship had not been in an unselectable warp before, but had been attacked head-on by that strange beam, how could it have been as simple as the warp engine being damaged.

The losses will be even worse!

Sandora thought the same.

She recognized the beam.

It was the Zerg's version of the Light of Annihilation.

With full force, a single light of annihilation can turn a planet into dust.

Its power is not at all called Star Destroyer, in fact, it can only be compared to the Star Destroyer Cannon with a big hole.

If the "Yunni" had suffered a light of annihilation head-on, it might have barely survived, but it would have left extremely serious "injuries" and damaged many functions.

Now, by mistake, with a set of warp engines, the light of annihilation of the Zerg can be redeemed!

"Fight back with all your might."

Sandora ignored the warp engine, nor the yin and yang weirdness of the round-faced youth, and gave orders indifferently.

Things are different now.

The situation was previously unclear, and it was true that evacuation was the best measure.

But now, it's time to attack while the light of annihilation of the bugs is in a cooling period.

Weigh the insects and try to see if you don't have to evacuate in a hurry.

Under the command of Taling, the "Yunni" opened fire with full firepower, and attacked the Zerg army that surrounded it beyond visual range.

The main cannon began to charge up, aiming at the brood.

In an instant, a full-powered Star Destroyer cannon was ready and fired.

The Star Destroyer Cannon, which is more than half thinner than the Light of Annihilation, is actually not small, and it crosses the long distance between the "Yunni" and the brood at the speed of light, and hits the brood head-on.

The turmoil caused by the first cannon did not subside, and the second and third guns followed.

Since the fight has begun, it is completely free to fight.

Under the cover of rapid firepower, on the Zerg side, except for the mother nest, which relied on an unknown number of layers of Zerg slime painting, it carried three Star Destroyer cannons without damage.

The Zerg army, which surrounded the starships in all directions, suffered heavy damage in the blink of an eye, and lost more than half of its personnel.

The Zerg army withstood the attack of the "Yunni" and launched a breakthrough without fear of death.

In exchange, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther away.

Taling strictly followed Sandora's instructions and kept a proper distance between him and the Zerg.

The hands are long and the hands are short, just such a scene.

Through the holographic projection and portholes, watching the sudden outbreak of extremely intense encounters, Link's brows furrowed.

He had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

The Zerg's performance is too abnormal.

The mission world can shoot out the light of annihilation, the brood can carry three Star Destroyer cannons without damage, and the combat effectiveness of the army surrounding the "Yunni" is so stretched?

Even if it has been in decline for a long time, it is impossible for the ancestors to pull their crotch to such a situation, right?

It's like papier-mâché, and it breaks when you poke it.

"There must be a problem, there must be a problem."

Link muttered to himself.

He stared carefully at the Zerg army on the holographic projection, and in his mind he independently magnified the figures of the bugs, and found a problem.

The insects that survived under the fire of the "Yunni" were more agile in their movements, more comfortable in their demeanor, and more fierce in their eyes than the dead insects.

Batches of fallen bugs give Link the impression that he is a puppet rather than a real worm.

No wonder it is so unbeaten, killing a large piece.

Link was about to tell Sandora about this discovery, when the corner of his eye inadvertently swept back to the interior of the starship, and Lannie, Tiffany, and Fried had never spoken again.

found that the three of them looked sluggish, their eyes were sudden, and they looked like they were in a state of wandering and ignorance.

"Huh?"

Link chuckled in his heart, and his heart kept doubting.

What's going on?

When did this change happen?

Why didn't he notice it before?

An lunge that leaps to Lanny. In front of Taylor.

Link raised his right index finger, and the tip of his finger glowed the size of a grain of rice.

This is the flexible use of light system 0 ring witchcraft, illumination, and magic.

The index finger of her left hand is raised and placed in front of Lanny, between her eyes, about 10 cm from the center of her eyebrows.

The light of the right hand shines into the pupil, and the index finger of the left hand sways from side to side.

Lannie's eyes didn't react, and she kept the same goofy look she had before.

After that, Link did the same test on Tiffany and Fried, and the results were the same.

Link turned to look at Sandora and the round-faced youth, and then glanced at the other two members of the academy's main family out of the corner of his eye.

found the four of them, with natural expressions and attentive eyes.

At this moment, they are all paying attention to Link because of Link's sudden movements.

"What did you find?"

Sandora asked, and the voice reached Link's ears, and there was a faint accent.

"Parasites."

Link replied solemnly, "The previous howl should have been not only a sonic attack, but also a parasite. We were completely prevented, so we weren't parasitized. The three of them weren't completely defended, so they were already parasitized. But that's not the point, the point is ......"

Pointing out the porthole, Link continued, "The Zerg that surround us are like puppets gnawed into empty shells by parasites. I think the Zerg are trying to drag us here, and then deplete our reserves and fight a protracted war. ”

"Test, treat."

After hearing Link's words, Shandora immediately ordered Taling.

"Understood."

Taling multi-threaded his work, directing the medical golems to conduct detailed inspections of Lannie, Tiffany, and Fried, as well as investigating the Zerg surrounding the Yunni.

At the same time, the intensity of the fire output was deliberately reduced.

What the enemy wants to do, we must not let the enemy achieve.

Since you want to consume reserves, then leisurely output firepower to save "ammunition".

Although the reserves of "ammunition" in Sandora are extremely abundant.

It is completely possible to fight a war of annihilation.

Thank you for the reward of Xiu Yu tears, thank you!
