Can read minds and not mark

Chapter 112 Chapter 112

Lu Huai's video call came in quickly.

Through the video, you can see that his current background is the relatively peaceful Bokou of Zixing. There are always few people in Zixing, and it almost looks peaceful. His tone was a little confused: "Admiral, everything is stable here now. Judging from the number of Zerg attacks on other forces, it is completely unfounded, and..."

Why is it stuck until five days later?

"Because five days is the fighting time I can control."

In his case, there are only two situations after five days. Either the Zerg coming to the fortress will be annihilated collectively. In order to prevent the remaining troops of the opponent from thinking about counterattack, and also just in case, this jump point will disappear, which will completely defeat the opponent. All hope of invasion is lost; another situation is that the fortress defense fails. Since the most critical point has been breached, the remaining forces of the empire must be concentrated, so leaving an unguarded jump point will be a long night and a dream.

All in all, keeping this place will do more harm than good. If we don't blow it up now, we just don't want to cause unnecessary panic among the people.

The public does not need to know too many details, does not need to know what the classification of Zerg is, does not need to understand the various classifications of mechas, and does not need to understand the existence of jump points.

They just need to know that the army will protect them. By the time they know that this jump point exists, at least the threat will be gone.

"I understand." The other party said nothing more and simply responded.

Before sitting in the second cockpit and turning on the touch screen, Lin Han did not expect it to be of such a scale.

As we all know, the Zerg race is a society of female insects. The real nest of the insect star is located in an abyss that is beyond the reach of humans. All different species have been reproduced from the most primitive and ancient female insects and have become the current scale.

In other words, all current classifications and races are based on the evolution of female insects. The female insects at the bottom of the abyss are the root of everything. They cannot reproduce on their own. Except for a very small number of high-level insect races, almost all the remaining insect races are... Like a copy-pasted template.

But the number of "templates" is too...

The picture that appeared in everyone's eyes was so shocking that it actually reflected an illusion of doomsday in the gloomy sky at this moment.

Those steel beetles that invaded Bokou before are nothing. It is no exaggeration to say that they are a drop in the bucket.

Giant black arrow ants are stacked together to form a high-speed ship body. They do not require high-end human technology. They are born to reach the standard of leaping. There are only three or four black arrow ant hulls at the station at the port of area p, but now they appear in the light screen in such a mighty manner that it is impossible to count them with the naked eye. We can only wait for them to get closer before we can rely on the detector. Find out the quantity.

This is just the giant black arrow ant that serves as the hull of the ship. It is still unknown how many Zerg are carried inside.

But judging from the current scale...

It is not impossible to say that most of the insect star's nests have been mobilized.

The black arrow ant ships came over in dense numbers, gradually approaching the exterior of the originally grand and peaceful fortress in everyone's sight, unabashedly announcing their intention to come.

They have to break through the hardest line of defense and cross this star gate.

Almost at the same time, the general's order rang through the public communicator.

His voice was as low and calm as ever, as if it would not be affected by anything: "Everyone is ready. The ultimate goal..."

"Clear ahead."

There is still a short time before the attack signal can be captured with the light screen and the Zerg hull moves into the attack range. The red scan on the light screen rotates around and around, and the not dense signal sounds are regular. When the sound sounded, He Yunting started the mecha and gave orders in an orderly manner.

"All CEB79 defensive mechas were dispatched and combined with the fortress to form a joint defense formation."

"The bottom missile attack fires at will. The pilot has full autonomy. Be careful to avoid interference and feedback signals at any time."

"The remaining secondary guns continue to charge."

"After the defensive formation is stabilized, the assault troops will follow me."

……

The edge of the fortress is a low and dark condensation. It is already dark in the depths of the universe, but this darkness is not uniform. However, at this moment, accompanied by the loud sounds of "boom, boom, boom", the overwhelming Zerg begins to appear, almost visible to the naked eye. within the range.

It's not that the distance is too close, it's just that the number is too huge.

Such a terrifying number filled the entire space with the black color of the giant black arrow ant shield.

Since the other party has dispatched Zerg of this magnitude, they are naturally prepared.

On the surface of the giant black arrow ant, a Zerg-specific defensive shield made of the armor of its own race was erected. Fierce firelight continued to fall on it, and each hit would illuminate a large area that was so dense that it was almost terrifying. Zerg, and giant black arrow ants are advancing and shuttled forward in such artillery fire, regardless of casualties.

No, it's not regardless of casualties.

The description of "irrespective of casualties" refers to their fearless posture of moving forward, but if you look carefully, the casualties of those giant black arrow ants seem to be so small that they are almost negligible!

Although black arrow ants do not have various high-end systems and operating methods like the technological products made by humans, they are real living creatures after all, and sometimes they are more flexible than cold machines in some aspects.

They cannot accurately predict the location of the missiles, but they are always keen to dodge when they are about to be hit, so they can maintain such a low casualty rate in such dense artillery fire at this moment.

The zerg began to approach.

The signal sound of the detector gradually became denser from being regular and intermittent at the beginning. At the same time, a cold mechanical sound reported the identifiable number of attacking Zerg. With the increasingly dense beeping sounds, the count also went from ten to hundreds, from hundreds to thousands...it was countless. The number of Zerg on the display screen began to appear in a scary manner. Explosive rise!

Tens of thousands of black creatures swept in from the depths of the universe in a scalp-numbing manner.

The universe has never been romantic. Even if there was a little affection, there was only a nightmare in the depth of the affection.

Vice-captain Ye Ling was in command. He looked at the dense spots of light on the light screen and his pupils shrank. Since He Yunting needed to control his own mecha, after formulating the overall combat deployment, the overall responsibility of random coordination and command fell on the equally experienced deputy captain Ye Ling.

However, no matter how rich the experience is, looking at the entire empire today, who has seen such a scene today?

The empire has been at peace for too long.

Ye Ling couldn't help gritting his teeth and swearing: "Are these damn bugs attacking and breeding at the same time?!"

"But shut your crow mouth. The Zerg breeds through female insects. If the female insects also come to the empire, then the empire is really not far away from being destroyed. But on the other hand, it might be a good thing. I'm fine with it. I want to know what level of weapons can directly destroy an insect nest." Lu Anhe shuttled through the gunfire, the mecha turned over in a gorgeous arc in mid-air, his fingers flew on the control panel, and he kept firing one after another. A precise attack, while communicating with Ye Ling on the communicator, "Currently, the number of known kills is 354, including 200 individual giant black arrow ants, and eight A-class steel beetles shot down in the ship. Ten, including twenty-three compound-eyed sandworms, and no other information has been obtained on the remaining species due to serious damage."

Ye Ling frowned and checked the energy reserves at the moment: "Do you really not have any sense of companionship?"

"The death of their kind will not make them look back at all... It seems that these things really want to crush us with numbers, damn it." At this time, the other deputy captain of the starship only felt his scalp numb: "So many artillery shells have been shot down, and the number shot down in one wave is equivalent to the empire's military exploits in the past year, but do you think there has been any change in their number?"

The answer to him was silence.

What he said was actually the most terrifying thing.

In the past interstellar era, mechas could not be loaded with various weapons. At that time, wars were fought by joint games between ships and ships, and spaceships.

Although each performs its own duties, its functions are not comprehensive after all. Therefore, at that time, there was a kind of ship with a relatively simple structure and fierce close combat firepower. The hull itself was relatively fragile. Once it was hit, there was no possibility of repair.

Like a kamikaze, this type of ship was once called an assault ship, and those who piloted it had no way out but to move forward, like pawns crossing the river in chess.

Just like these Zerg who are taking the lead now.

Only forward is allowed, no retreat is allowed, and no retreat is allowed.

Any retreat will be crushed into powder by other Zerg swarming behind.

Their mission is clear. Breakthroughs and sieges are all done by the Zerg behind them. They only need to find a relatively safe airspace amidst heavy artillery fire to use as a temporary garrison point for large forces to facilitate the subsequent stay and confrontation of the Zerg.

"Tsk." Ye Ling sneered in a hateful tone, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Even if there are really female insects coming here, we have to go down and blast these dead insects into orphans."

"Upgrade the secondary guns and prepare for charging." The starship also needs to be in the best condition. Ye Ling stopped scolding the Zerg and said, "Continue to act according to the general's deployment!"

However, he did not wait for the neat response after each order.

"Then...what is that!" Lu Anhe's shocked voice sounded in the communication channel.

After experiencing so many things, the increasingly mature adjutant rarely made a voice with such emotions, and soon Ye Ling exclaimed exactly the same as Lu Anhe: "This... This is……!"

"It seems that Captain Ye was right." He Yunting's voice suddenly sounded: "Start scanning immediately, separate a three-person team from the right formation to rush in as much as possible, keep a safe distance, release the 3m487 signal detector and retreat immediately!"

After a pause, his condensed gaze fell in the distance. It was darker than the night, and its body was so huge that it was beyond imagination. It was almost comparable to the largest main ship in the empire... No, it was even more exaggerated than the largest main ship in the empire. Zerg: "If I read correctly, it should be the female worm."

Ye Ling and everyone gasped at the same time.

No wonder the Zerg's attack seems to be more organized than before, and the style of advancement and defense seems to be slightly different from the past. I thought this was just a thorough preparation for this landing, but it turned out...

Even the female insects have arrived at the front lines of the battlefield!

"Captain Ye, you never thought that the opportunity to make all the Zerg orphans would come so soon." Lu Anhe murmured.

Almost at the same time that his voice came up, the feedback results of the 3m487 signal detector were displayed on the screen.

Really a female bug.

Ye Ling said "fuck" twice in his mouth.

The sense of oppression and fear originally caused by the huge gap between the bodies gradually faded away in the face of the absolute glory of being a soldier. He slowly stood up from the command seat, his eyes flashing with fear and excitement. : "Come, get, good."

His voice spread along the military communication channel that had not yet been closed.

All imperial soldiers felt this wonderful emotional resonance at this moment.

They will be afraid, their captain will be afraid, they are human, fear is an emotion that all humans have, and there is no shame in it.

And it is precisely because of this fear that human beings are stronger.

Well come.

"You're here, don't leave." He Yunting's calm voice resounded throughout the entire army, and everyone could hear the undisguised fighting spirit and murderous intent in the imperial general's voice.

M2742 cut through the universe and shuttled among the overwhelming Zerg. The recorded numbers belonging to this mecha rose steadily and coldly. The Imperial Marshal continued to speak in the midst of the killing: "Start accumulating energy for the Eye of the Galaxy."

Ye Ling was stunned.

The "Eye of the Galaxy" is the largest main gun in the fortress, and it is also the weapon placed at the core of the fortress by the empire. Unlike a simple rail gun that needs to be launched from a starship or space station, it is not a completely virtual particle beam cannon, which only requires an accelerator and high energy to start.

It is between the two. It has a physical warhead, but it can burst out with maximum power under the energy supply of the accelerator and the central ring of the fortress. And because it is in the fortress, it has its own propulsion and algorithm support, so it can hit accurately. Single or multiple targets need to be hit to avoid damaging friendly forces.

The only trouble is that due to its excessive power and level, launching it itself is an extremely important order, so the key is always in the emperor's hand.

Only with his approval and personal use of the key can this most terrifying weapon be launched.

"Application..." Ye Ling said subconsciously.

"Already applied." M2742 stopped suddenly in mid-air, and then dived in a gorgeous arc. The number of kills suddenly increased by ten: "Your Majesty is with us."

"Your Majesty is with us!"

Countless voices became a face, and the imperial soldiers who were originally frightened by the appearance of the female insect were inspired by these words again, and turned around and entered the battlefield.

At the same time, Lin Han took a deep breath in the two-person seat of the M2742 mecha and planned to connect to the royal family's internal line.

He Yunting was observing the battle situation attentively. Because the war was urgent, Lu Anhe and other subordinates would report the progress to He Yunting at any time. Lin Han would sometimes receive information for him and then tell He Yunting.

He originally just listened to what He Yunting said and connected him with the royal family's insider. As for the rest, naturally he still had to apply in person.

But this time, what came out after he clicked through was a video call.

It seems that the other party took the initiative to open it.

After Lin Han saw the person in the picture clearly, he was stunned for a moment and immediately saluted to the other side: "Your Majesty."

"I asked the general to communicate with you." Unexpectedly, after meeting Wen Zhao in the council last time, the meeting would be in this way. Even Lin Han was caught off guard and said quickly.

"No, no, no." Wen Zhao leaned on the sofa and casually covered himself with a thin blanket. His posture seemed quite leisurely.

He waved his hand towards Lin Han across the screen: "The person contacting me is m2742. Since you can get through, it means you also have the right to operate this mecha, so it will be the same to anyone."

"...Oh." Lin Han nodded.

In front of the opponent was a chess game that had just ended. His beloved queen chess piece was standing in the most conspicuous position on the chessboard, indicating that he had just won a certain game.

Wen Zhao seems to be in a good mood. His sharp-cut appearance and natural temperament can be transmitted through the light screen. Although his movements are very casual, it is still impossible to ignore.

He still looks very young, and his whole person is relaxed and relaxed in both mentality and expression, but what he said is closely related to the war at the moment: "Is the Eye of the Galaxy charged?"

Lin Han was shocked and answered truthfully: "Yes."

"That's just right. It saves me the hassle of giving orders." Wen Zhao said calmly, "I'm here to deliver the key."

"The Imperial Admiral is still fighting in the fortress. I, who is sitting here playing chess, cannot hold him back. After thinking about it, I am afraid that I will forget, so it is better to solve this problem first to avoid long nights and dreams."

Realizing that Wen Zhao was going to transmit the key, Lin Han was shocked and immediately straightened his back: "Wait a moment, I will inform you now..."

"Hey, come back." Lin Han didn't expect to be interrupted by Wen Zhao.

"What a big deal." Wen Zhao raised his index finger and wiped the corners of his lips, smiling carelessly, "I'll tell you or the general, it's not the same."

Where is the same...

Lin Han couldn't believe that the "big deal" Wen Zhao mentioned was actually the key to the Eye of the Galaxy.

Wen Zhao seemed to have decided to generously give the young man in front of him some time to digest. After a minute, he continued to speak: "General He allows you to enter his mecha, doesn't it mean everything?"

"Don't be afraid, the emperor has not yet dismantled other people's bad taste." Wen Zhao even made a joke and added, "It is not easy to see the iron tree blooming after so many years."

"Of course." When Wen Zhao smiled, his innate sharpness was much lessened, and he seemed to have a wonderful harmony, "The main reason is that I think you also have a good impression."

Lin Han found that he couldn't understand more and more what kind of person the emperor was, so he had to say thank you respectfully.

But when he raised his head again, the man who was leaning casually on the light screen now had a scepter in his hand.

The emperor's scepter is a symbol of supreme power, and it also represents that every word he speaks at this moment is an order that cannot be disobeyed.

Lin Han looked serious and was about to pay the most standard imperial salute again, but Wen Zhao made a gesture and interrupted: "Don't care about so many rules, just listen."

"I agree with General He Yunting's right to drive the main cannon of the Eye of the Galaxy and fire. From now on, the Eye of the Galaxy is allowed to start and launch, and the key will be transmitted by me personally."

Lin Han heard his heartbeat speeding up.

"Leader!"

The encrypted keys were transmitted through special channels, and after Wen Zhao announced the order, he quickly returned to his original nonchalant appearance and picked up the chess piece in front of him again.

"The last meeting was so rushed that I didn't even have time to invite Mr. Lin to play chess," Wen Zhao said. "When Mr. Lin comes back from the fortress, why not come to the side hall? I haven't played with anyone for a long time."

Lin Han didn't expect that Wen Zhao hadn't forgotten the last time he said he wanted to play chess with him: "Okay."

"Tell the general that you can contact him directly if you have any situation. No matter what it is, you can speak." Wen Zhao put the chess pieces back on the chessboard. "Of course, I won't mind if Mr. Lin contacts me on his behalf."

Until the communication was cut off, Wen Zhao never asked about the situation of the Zerg.

Lin Han was curious for a moment.

He wanted to ask Wen Zhao, are you not worried at all about a person like me who has only met twice, or, in other words, do you trust everything now?

He firmly believed that his Steel Division could not fail, just as he believed that He Yunting would use the Eye of the Galaxy, so he handed over the key easily.

At the same time, with the high morale of the soldiers, the continuous intensive artillery fire, and the missile attack at the bottom, the missile attack has been replaced by a higher-level railgun. The space station on the left has almost reached its maximum energy usage load. From bottom to top, there is no One is no longer struggling to defend against the enemy.

The mother worm is surrounded and protected by her "children", and Zerg are constantly being shot down, but soon new Zerg will appear as cannon fodder to defend the mother worm from all harm. After all, as long as the mother worm is still there, the Zerg will have a constant source of energy and will not survive. interest.

This strange confrontation did not last long.

Although the energy of the fortress is hundreds of times higher than other areas of the empire, it is not inexhaustible after all. If everything is used to destroy cannon fodder, exhaustion of energy is not too far away.

The dense worms wrapped up the mother worm. Since they found that they could not easily break through the star gate, they retreated a little and found a lower airspace as a temporary nest. The hard steel beetles and black arrow ants acted as barriers, forming a barrier in the sky. A huge, dense, disgusting and terrifying black mass.

After suppressing the first wave of black arrow ants in front of them, the space station finally stopped attacking temporarily and waited for energy storage again.

Lin Han got down from the second driver's seat, opened the hatch, and walked up to He Yunting.

The other party was still listening to Lu Anhe's report, and after a while he looked up from the operating table.

He remembered that he asked Lin Han to pick up the royal line, but there was no response. He thought it was because he had not been contacted. When he was about to turn on the communicator again, he was stopped by Lin Han.

"I have contacted His Majesty just now."

Lin Han told him about Wen Zhao and handed the key he received to He Yunting.

The other party was not too surprised: "I know."

Probably guessing that Wen Zhao's character and temper would make Lin Han confused, He Yunting explained: "His Majesty the Emperor is like that, don't worry."

"But he passed the key directly to me..."

No matter how casual you are, you can't be so casual.

After all, this was Wen Zhao who had made both the Federation and the Star Thief tremble when he was young.

He Yunting was also a little surprised by this. After thinking about it, he came to the same conclusion as Wen Zhao: "He is a casual person and he is good at judging people."

"I went on an expedition with him back then. He knew me well. If I was the one who connected the communication, he would give me the key without hesitation."

"Don't be afraid." He glanced down at Lin Han. Seeing that the young man's eyes were still a little nervous, he touched his neck reassuringly and said, "Maybe he really doesn't have a bad feeling for you."

"it is good."

Time is the most precious thing now, so Lin Han no longer worries about it.

The rectification will not take long. Soon, the 3m487 signal detector showed that there were changes in the huge black shadow.

It can be seen that the mother worm is really constantly expanding its power, and new worms are constantly breaking out of the shadows, getting bigger and bigger like a snowball.

"How long will it take for the energy storage to be completed?"

A quick response came from the space station: "It will take...a whole day."

a whole day.

After all, it is a weapon used to deal with female insects. Just charging the energy without any hindrance will almost take away one-third of the central energy ring.

At this time, no one can predict what will happen in one day, whether the female insects will reproduce desperately, and to what extent these cannon fodder Zergs will expand.

"Boss." Lu Anhe said in the communication, "The warhead of the Eye of the Galaxy is solid, and according to calculations, it will definitely be able to attack the female insect."

"But it's very possible that only the female worms can be eliminated."

In other words, the Eye of the Galaxy cannot be solved once and for all. Even if the mother worm is destroyed and the Zerg's ability to reproduce is cut off at this time, the various other Zerg races derived from the mother worm still need to be dealt with.

However, just the energy storage and firing of the Eye of the Galaxy will consume almost half of the energy of the fortress. Even if the laser cannon and railgun are removed later, and low-energy-consuming weapons such as guided missiles are used as much as possible, there is no guarantee that they will all be wiped out. clean.

After all, maintaining mechas, starships, and space stations also requires energy.

The supply ship also has energy, but it's nothing compared to the fortress.

Unless we can find some way to catch them all in one fell swoop.

The communicator was silent for a while, but soon new orders came in.

"Don't think about energy consumption until the female worms are eliminated. Everything should be done first to eliminate the female worms."

"All formations return to position, starship cruise continues."

"Yes!"

Lin Han waited for He Yunting to finish speaking and returned to the second cockpit: "Then continue."

In the fortress, no one slept a wink that day.

As one of the best students in this training, Qi Jiamu was directly incorporated into the most elite commando team. As the captain of the starship, Ye Ling was responsible for cooperating with the commander in overall planning, while Lu Anhe integrated the space station's defense system to ensure that no fish would slip through.

The change begins at night.

Watching the black shadow continue to expand, finally there was a disobedient "child" who couldn't bear the loneliness. It was another type of Zerg, whose scientific name in the empire was called Noah's bug.

This species is a bit more special than the average Zerg. It is special because at first glance, almost no one can think of it as a Zerg. The Noah bug is ugly and weird. Except for its sharp mouthparts, it has no other characteristics of the Zerg. None can be found. In the non-attack form, people can only see a milky white mass dripping with fishy mucus, with only one pointed and long disgusting mouthpart on the whole body.

When it enters combat form, its characteristics will slowly emerge.

The mucus all over its body can turn into thousands of long tentacles, and the tentacles can lead themselves to move, or they can deform and soften at extremely fast speeds, wrapping the enemy in layers. When a certain number is reached, they He will take what he is holding and explode with a bang.

It looks like a suicide attack, but as long as they don't turn into powder, they can grow and grow again and become the same as before.

The detector kept reporting the situation, and finally late at night, a milky white gel appeared on the screen...

With a "boom" sound, the detector suddenly exploded!

This loud noise seemed to reopen the page of the confrontation between the two parties. The shield was deployed almost immediately, and the assault force responded faster. The mecha headed by M2742 was already standing in front of the star gate.

"It's Noah!" Someone said on the communicator, "Be careful of what's left after it explodes, and pay attention to self-inspection and cleaning!"

"You don't have to go back after cleaning." He Yunting said, "How long will it take for the Eye of the Galaxy to be charged?"

"There are still about four hours until the scheduled time."

"You don't have to wait for the full charge to be successful." He Yunting said, "The second formation will outflank from the right, and the rest will attack from the front with me. The starship will be responsible for the long range, and the defensive formation will pay attention to cover."

"As for the space station..." He paused, "Put half of the energy from the particle accelerator into the main gun to speed up the energy storage process. No matter how much energy is stored, it will be ready to launch within an hour."

He Yunting carefully embedded the key transmitted by Wen Zhao into the database of the Eye of the Galaxy: "The key entry is completed, this hour belongs to us."

He sat back in the first cockpit, with a rare sense of relaxation in his voice: "Mr. Lin, you can start."

m2742 soared into the sky, and the Noah bugs that were looking for their target instantly became excited and rushed towards their prey at a speed invisible to the naked eye!

But the other party seemed to have anticipated their movement trajectory. The thrusters accelerated and bounced away instantly when they were about to be touched by something milky-white. The next second, the other mechas on the right found a flaw and immediately continued in this direction. Fires several particle cannons

Some Noah bugs were unable to dodge and were directly blasted into powder by these cannons. Others reacted quickly and split into tiny pieces, trying to reattach the tallest and largest mecha in the sky.

That mecha holds a lightsaber in its right arm. This is a perfect opportunity!

These smaller milky-white Noah bugs quickly moved to the right arm of the mecha. Now as long as they are integrated together, they can extend their thousands of tentacles to wrap the mecha, and then...

"Bang!" Unfortunately, before these Noah bugs could connect into pieces, their right arms were equipped with impact bombs. The moment they climbed onto the mecha, they were re-exploded by the ejected bombs and could not recover. of ashes!

"Eradicate." Lin Han's smiling voice appeared in the communicator.

"Everyone, please don't let down your guard. A new race of female worms will soon come to invade."

Under the night, the black shadow began to gradually spread, and layers of Zerg surrounded its mother, using special frequencies and decibels that humans could not receive to communicate...

"Don't retreat!" Ye Ling gritted his teeth and pushed the joystick in front of him to the end. "Now, the vortex railgun will fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corresponding space station started to activate the dual particle accelerator. When the densely packed Zerg thought that the space station on the left was the source of the attack, and the black arrow ants had re-erected a solid thick shield, the starship on the right flashed by A beam of red light that shines through the night sky

"Go and be an orphan underground!" Ye Ling got excited and couldn't help but curse. The entire starship's attack power was all blasted in one place, forcefully knocking out the seemingly impenetrable thick shield. Make a hole!

"Get ready, Eye of the Galaxy." When the time came, He Yunting knew that the space station would definitely obey the order and charge the main gun, so he ordered without hesitation, "Countdown to five seconds."

"5"

The soldiers on the starship activated their laser cannons and responded loudly.

"4"

The sergeants of the space station stared closely at the dial in front of them.

"3"

Lu Anhe opened Zeus's defensive shield and joint formation to the maximum to prevent any accidents from happening in the last few seconds.

"2"

Lin Han had never seen such a large main gun. He stared at the huge energy column not far away that glowed with white light and illuminated the night sky, as well as the warhead that was about to open at the top.

"1"

He Yunting lowered his eyes and stared at the source of evil in the black shadow with a calm expression.

Boom

The stargate seemed to be blasted open by this main cannon. All the mechas activated their anti-gravity stabilizers at the fastest speed in the shortest time. The thrusters sprayed purple tail flames and bounced back to the safest position.

Like the most brilliant stream of light, it fell straight into the black shadow, and the explosion sound was like playing the last elegy for the mother insect, allowing it to completely disappear into the fortress star with its endless reproductive ability. outside the door.

After the ultimate explosion, there is the ultimate silence.

Of course, in addition to these, there was also the laughter of a certain young captain who forgot to turn off the communicator.

"Hahahahahahahaha, go be an orphan, bug!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

But this time no one blamed him.

But defeating the mother worm is only the first step to holding the fortress.

What happened next, although there was no new breeding of Zerg, the war was far more than that.

In addition to the steel beetles, black arrow ants, and giant sandworms that were wiped out one by one in the first and second waves, the insect planet did not seem to give up, and new Zerg fleets were constantly jumping from the insect star.

"They must be sick! Why are they coming here even though they don't have a mother!" On the third day, Ye Ling rejoined the ranks of scolding mothers.

However, no one responded to him now. There was no other reason. The sergeants had been fighting for three days, but there were still new insects coming continuously.

It's like something is driving them. They have to come to the Empire and cross the Star Gate. Even though they have paid the price of losing the mother insect, they still have to go without interruption...

Fortunately, the supply ship was well prepared this time, so the embarrassing situation of lack of supplies was avoided.

But this is not a solution after all.

Now the main gun has been used at Wen Zhao's instruction, and the rest can only be relied on by the formation itself.

But Lin Han still remembered the order about Wen Yuzixing a few days ago.

Five days is the final deadline. Wen Yu's jump point will be blown up after five days. This is also the time He Yunting gave himself.

But now...

It's already the fourth day.

What will the fifth day be like?

Lin Han's life schedule has been pretty regular these days. The little dumpling who insisted on following him finally stopped getting sick of the mecha, but no one could take care of it.

The energy in the central ring is still being consumed, but the number of Zerg is still increasing.

It's like being stuck in an endless loop and can't find the way out.

On this day, He Yunting's formation once again blasted away countless waves of leaping steel beetles. After cooperating with the three parties to fight, they finally found a chance to breathe.

"How much energy does the central ring have?"

"Not much. There's...one-fifth left."

One-fifth is just enough energy to last the last day.

But if these excited species are not solved, even if they go back with the starships and formations, it will still be a thorny problem.

Judging from the closely maintained communications, Wen Yu's sub-star is currently in normal condition, and Lu Huai also keeps in mind the five-day deadline.

So now there is only one day left.

There are new types of Zerg that have jumped over. From the perspective of both sides, this is already a fight to the death. But the problem now is that one side cannot really break through the star gate without the mother worm, and the energy on the other side is still being consumed. , as if waiting to dry up.

It's like an impasse that's hard to break.

Although the fortress is currently the place with the largest concentration of energy in the empire, the energy ring in the center can recycle energy storage, which means that the consumed energy will be restored over time.

But this "time" will probably have to wait until a few years later.

Judging from the current situation, the fortress's Eye of the Galaxy main gun has been fired. It is almost impossible to activate the energy storage again. First, the Zerg are scattered scattered. Even if Wen Zhao is really asked for another secret The key is that the huge energy consumption is not proportional to the results; secondly, the energy consumption at this moment is just enough for the starship and space station, and it will only take longer to bear such a large amount of energy storage again.

But the deadlock will eventually be broken.

On the night of the fourth day, no matter whether it was mechas, space stations or starships, they still held on to the fortress.

After all, the female worms are gone, and there are too few highly intelligent zerg races.

So no one knows what happened that night.

There were only a few inconspicuous supply ships passing by amid the sound of gunfire and darkness.

The fifth day came soon.

"He Yunting," Lin Han felt an obvious decline in physical and mental strength during the break, so he called his name and said proactively, "Bring me a nutritional supplement."

After all, no matter how unpleasant this thing is, you can't get rid of it, and now is not the time to be coy.

Lin Han took off his goggles, walked out of his cockpit, and took the unscrewed nutritional supplement from He Yunting.

"Thank you." He smiled with his eyes bent at He Yunting, frowned slightly, and swallowed the tube of stuff very simply.

"Mr. Lin, would you like to sleep for a while?" He Yunting confirmed the situation, turned his head and said to Lin Han.

Lin Han still bit the nozzle of the nutritional supplement in his mouth and shook his head: "I'm okay, I slept yesterday."

When He Yunting transferred the supply ship to the space station last night, he was so sleepy that he finally huddled in the mecha and slept for a long time.

When they woke up, the supply ship had been mobilized away from the mountain under the cover of gunfire, and from the perspective of the Zerg stationed outside, the core of everyone seemed to have remained unchanged.

When Lin Han thought of this, he suddenly recalled that in order to make sure nothing went wrong, it seemed that He Yunting stayed up all night yesterday.

A slight pain arose in his heart again, and even the most powerful alpha couldn't bear it. He had not slept since the beginning of the attack, and when he was most tired, he could only rest his head on his pillow for fifteen minutes with his eyes closed. At that time, Lin Han quietly went to touch his hand and found that He Yunting was in a short sleep. There is no moment to let go of this fight.

But even though he knew he could hear it, He Yunting still said nothing to himself.

He threw away the package of nutritional supplements and just returned to his cockpit. Before closing the door, he saw He Yunting click on the screen twice and take out an injection from the storage box.

injection?

Probably because of his fixed mindset, Lin Han didn't think much, but his hand on the hatch froze. He called He Yunting's name and asked him, "Are you going to take nutritional supplements too?"

"Ah."

"Do you need help?"

He Yunting looked back at him, then calmly opened the sealed package, as if he was afraid that Lin Han would be worried, and responded: "It's okay."

Lin Han nodded: "Okay."

He knows that some nutritional supplements with higher concentrations are too slow to be absorbed when taken directly. In special cases, especially the nutritional supplements exclusively provided by Alpha, in order to have faster effects, they will be made into injections, which are higher than the nutritional supplements of Ega. Much more.

He saw He Yunting leaning against the cockpit and bending his sleeves, exposing his cold blue blood vessels. When he saw the sharp needle, Lin Han closed his eyes subconsciously. He wanted to ask He Yunting if it hurt, but he felt that it was unnecessary to ask such a question at this time, so he hesitated for a moment but still did not speak.

Lin Han wanted to return to his seat, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw He Yunting taking another injection and looking towards him...

He keenly noticed that there was a little hesitation and guilt in He Yunting's eyes.

They are already nutritional supplements for injection. Is it necessary to inject two or more injections with such a high concentration?

Why did He Yunting subconsciously look at him? Was he afraid that he would notice something?

Thinking of this, Lin Han's heart tightened. He opened the door of his cab and quickly walked over to He Yunting. As expected, the other party was stunned. There was a hint of concealment in his movements, and he hid the injection behind his back.

There was no need to look at the packaging. Just by doing this, Lin Han could guess what it was.

It's not a nutritional supplement at all.

I actually forgot this level.

Such a high consumption of physical and mental energy, as well as staying awake for more than five days, commanding subordinates and operating mechas...

Anyone else's body and brain might freeze.

No wonder.

Lin Han suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

Sure enough, there has never been any god.

"It's a muscle slow-release drug." Lin Han pressed his lips tightly, but his voice was still trembling.

Lin Han had only seen this kind of thing in the news.

It is not said that this kind of thing is banned now, but unless it is needed for medical treatment, few people except the military use this kind of thing.

Because the disadvantages are too great.

The high-concentration muscle sustained-release agent allows users to restore body and muscle functions in a very short period of time, with immediate results.

Of course the cost is also obvious.

Although the situation is urgent, if you inject without restraint, the sustained-release agent will accumulate too much in the body and consume too much mental energy. Even the most powerful alpha will be affected by the backlash of this agent, which can range from irreversible muscle atrophy to fibrosis. , and may even be discarded directly.

He Yunting had just finished an injection, and before he had time to process it, the blood spots oozing from his arm could not be stopped in time.

The embarrassment of being caught prevented him from paying attention to such details, and blood flowed down his forearm.

It was like something was grabbing Lin Han's throat. Just looking at it made him feel breathless.

"You lied to me." The bright red color became dazzling in Lin Han's field of vision. His pupils shrank suddenly, and when he spoke again, his voice sounded a little aggrieved, "You said it was a nutritional supplement."

"I can drive." Lin Han reached out randomly to wipe the blood off He Yunting's skin, "You go to the second cab, I'll do it..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hugged by the other party with his backhand.

"I'm sorry." He Yunting apologized first. His voice was low and hoarse, with an unconcealable tiredness, "I'm fine."

"You've already used this kind of thing and you're still fine!"

Lin Han didn't know how to describe his feelings. He was actually angry because He Yunting didn't want to tell him. Compared with this, he just felt more sorry for him now.

It was precisely because he knew what he had been through these past few days that Lin Han couldn't even bear to blame him.

but……

His voice was louder, and his eyes were red with excitement: "If I hadn't seen it, how many more shots would you like to shoot? Three? Five?"

He Yunting couldn't defend himself, and he didn't know how to appease the always gentle young man. He could only stretch out his right hand to push Lin Han into his arms. There was a rare guilt in his voice. The general showed no change of expression in the face of thousands of troops. At this moment, he was rubbing the young man's thin black hair in a panic and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

Did I do something wrong?

I can still persist, but Mr. Lin needs to rest.

His heart was in chaos. The moment he heard it, Lin Han couldn't be said to be angry, but he was so filled with emotions that he simply opened his mouth and bit the other person's shoulder.

Lin Han couldn't bear to exert force, just wanted to use this meaningless action to dispel the current emotions. He calmed down and then continued: "I'm not tired. I've had enough rest time these days, I can go to the first driver's seat cabin."

"I'm fine, really." He Yunting's tone became lighter and lighter, but he still didn't agree. In the end, she almost said in a coaxing way, "Be obedient, honey."

"you……"

Lin Han was startled for a moment and smelled a very light scent of oud, with a soothing smell.

Although he knew that He Yunting was just comforting himself and that releasing some pheromones had no other meaning, Lin Han still raised his head uneasily: "He Yunting."

"You, you... don't use pheromones to bewitch me. If you dare to do this..."

It seems like I can't do anything.

But the more Lin Han thought about it, the more anxious he became. When his teeth let go of each other's shoulders, he finally started crying: "Are you going to do it again?"

He snatched the injection from He Yunting's other hand and threw it away. He hugged him back more nervously than the other person: "We missed it once. You have forgotten me for so many years. It's not easy to get it back, and you want to... Are you going to throw me away again?"

"I am not a flower in the greenhouse. I know you love me. Since you are willing to take me on the mecha, why do you still want to carry everything alone at this time..."

He knew that he shouldn't lose his temper now, but Lin Han just felt sad. While trying to hold back his tears, he was so aggrieved that the corners of his mouth kept turning down, the tip of his nose and eye sockets were red, and tears piled up at the ends of his eyes, but they were delayed. Didn't fall.

"I don't ask why you didn't try to come to me at that time. I understand your character and I know that you were trying to protect me. But, He Yunting, I am different from that time. I am not the student who doesn't understand anything. I am your lover.

"Is there anything we haven't done yet? Come on, mark me completely. As long as you bite me hard, you won't push me out when I'm in danger and tire myself out. You won’t say anything anymore?”

His grievances increased and his tears increased.

He originally wanted to raise his head and talk to He Yunting properly, but as soon as he raised his neck, the tears just started to fall silently down. His originally fair and delicate face was instantly covered with tear stains. Just letting He Yunting take a look at it made him cry. I felt so uncomfortable that my heart was tugged hard.

"Have you ever thought about what I will do in the future?" Lin Han started crying anyway, so he simply repeated, "Have you ever thought about what I am going to do?"

"I know that I am willful, and I know that what you want to protect is the lives of millions of people in the empire... I know that they need you..." Lin Han's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end it was almost inaudible.

"But, I need it too."

"Please, don't use the sustained-release medicine, and don't push me away." Lin Han raised his face hazy, his eyes blurred by tears, and he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly, "I obviously...obviously can do it."

"I want you to know that Ega's mental power can be... very strong, and it can also help you share a large part of the pressure." Lin Han was so filled with tears that he couldn't speak fluently. Sobbing, he said seriously and firmly, "Then, I'll take a step back. I'll still give you the first cockpit, but I won't need the mental and physical connection. I can do it by myself."

Seeing that He Yunting still didn't speak, Lin Han eagerly grabbed the hem of his clothes. The best mecha master in the empire was like a child at this time. All the calmness and gentleness he had when facing outsiders were gone, and he was still very imprudent. They smeared their tears on each other's clothes.

"You can also rely on me..." Lin Han was crying and talking, his whole face was wrinkled, and his upper lip was slightly red and swollen.

"……is it good."

Probably less than a minute passed.

Lin Han later thought that these were probably the longest minutes in He Yunting's life.

He finally began to no longer carry everything alone, was finally willing to stand side by side with him in the face of danger, finally tried to get feedback from love, and finally understood that Lin Han, just like him, just wanted to hold his heart out, without any hesitation. Dedicate yourself to each other without reservation.

But Lin Han couldn't feel anything else now.

He only felt He Yunting hugging him tighter and tighter, kissing away all his tears devoutly and tenderly, and then hugged him back to his cockpit.

He heard He Yunting talking to him.

well.

Don't cry, I promise you anything.

We are invincible.

The author has something to say: Ha

Make a sound that represents the vicissitudes of life and not a single drop left.

But I won’t lose ten pounds even after posting this chapter, hehe

There are modifications in the middle!

I thought about this plot over and over but still didn’t delete it. Don’t blame Lao He, he will change it.
