Apocalyptic Dark Age

The starry sky is still eternal darkness, and a life-and-death struggle is going on in the darkness. The bugs attacking from all sides, due to unknown influences, have learned to concentrate their forces to attack the Alliance's defense line. As a result, the speed of the front line's decay has increased several times, and a large number of fleets have been damaged in battle. Soldiers were lost, many high-ranking military officials were killed, there were many records of space stations and settlements being invaded by bugs, and the public star field had been turned into a mess.

The final line of defense where the Wilderness Fleet Cluster is located has been completely forgotten by the Alliance. No one cares about the insect behind and whether there is a large fleet that still insists on resisting. The plant planet of Demon Lotus is naturally buried in the fog of war.

The wilderness fleet cluster has not really disappeared, and the final line of defense has never been lost. With a large amount of military supplies provided by Centipede Face, it has completely overcome the weakness of insufficient rear power, and can freely shuttle through the sea of ​​​​insects, leaving broken troops and soldiers in the occupied areas. The battleships gathered together, slowly accumulating strength, waiting for the peak to return.

Centipede Face, who was almost eliminated as a scapegoat, is no longer a small figure who can be discarded. He also has a place at the top of the intelligence department. The simple space oscillator makes the Dark Thorn no longer a fearful god of death, but a mass recycling High value raw materials.

What's more, Centipede Face always has information about new types of bugs to hand in, which makes his value continue to increase. The premise of this is that Centipede Face has never given up contacting the wilderness fleet cluster, exchanging materials for information, and occasionally entrusting some high-level officials to Difficult tasks in exchange for more merit.

Under the general environment of resolutely fighting against the Zerg, as a hot upstart, there are countless forces and families willing to please. The search for the peak is no longer just the wilderness fleet cluster, but the entire public star field. For a time, the peak has become second only to the bugs. A hot topic, a high bounty, and countless creatures searching every corner of the public star field. Unfortunately, no one can get this bounty.

War is everywhere. In the vortex of war, both the Alliance and the bugs are constantly losing blood and weakening. The Alliance has already exhausted all its cards. Whether it is the Zerg army or countless warships, they have all filled the black hole of war. The number of dead bugs is even more incalculable. If measured by volume, it might not be enough to fill several solar systems.

The public star field centered on commerce and mining has completely stopped commercial activities. Everything is dominated by war. Even currency no longer reflects value. Countless chambers of commerce and wealthy people have gone bankrupt. Only forces with large amounts of materials and military industries have the opportunity to rise. Become a winner.

Energy metal mining, which once represented wealth and status, has become a thing of the past. The characteristics of bugs absorbing energy have caused the value of energy metals to depreciate repeatedly. Except for the energy metals required for the core and engine of energy light cannons, other energy metals are not even as good as the most common ones. Armor alloy.

u-3548 Resource Star is a victim of the war. The energy metal produced is used as one of the auxiliary main materials for the energy shield armor of battleships. Under the current situation, the wealthy Resource Star Mining Group has also closed down, leaving a large number of A pile of unemployed miners.

Being unemployed does not mean that you will starve to death. There are no civilians who will starve to death in the public star field. No matter how difficult the war is, the alliance government can still provide relief food. The problem is that the relief food cannot meet the normal needs of soul-awakening creatures. No matter how much you eat, The relief food cannot provide the energy to maintain itself, so it continues to weaken and decline, and ultimately accelerates aging and exhausts its lifespan.

Calculated according to the time of the earth, the lifespan of the awakened soul is 500 years, the lifespan of the strong person with the silver heart is 1,500 years, the life span of the destroyer is 5,000 years, and the peak power can even reach 10,000 years. All of these require high-level food to maintain. There was no problem before. , but now, high-end food is controlled by the Alliance, either in exchange for supplies or working for the Alliance army. If you don't have both, you can only wait to die in despair.

The bustling settlements in the past are like dead trees that have lost their moisture, waiting to be abandoned in decay. Less than one-tenth of the tens of millions of mining workers and hundreds of millions of family members are left. Those who have a way out will naturally leave, and those with courage will join the army. , even if they die in battle, their family members can receive pensions, and the rest are those who have been eliminated by the times. If they lack the courage to go to the battlefield, they will not have enough resources.

On this day, the lifeless settlement welcomed an unexpected guest, a large fleet.

Thousands of strange-looking warships are different from mainstream warships. They do not have a slender and elegant hull, nor a bright fluorescent shell. They are dark, thick, and much bloated. The densely packed small turrets reveal boundless murderous intent. Once fired, the entire ship will be destroyed. Battleships are terrifying hornet's nests.

Just as these battleships entered the airport, civilians in the settlements who were bored and waiting for the end of the war gathered around to watch the excitement. Some military fans who knew more about battleships jeered, despising this kind of seemingly powerful but actually weak battleship.

"At first glance, he looks like a bumpkin from an alien realm. He doesn't even have an energy passport. He's a target for death with one shot."

"Ha, I actually saw the museum's collection. So... that's a missile frigate, right? It has no main guns, no secondary guns, only missile launch nests. Give me a small gunboat, and I can kill without any injuries..."

"Although I want to be serious, I really want to laugh. Such gunboats may only appear in the Behemoth Empire. The slave uprising at that time seemed to be using transport ships to transform warships..."

"Oh! It's true! Isn't this the transformed Fat Fish transport ship? Look at it, Fat Fish..."

All kinds of discussions started in the airport area, and soon spread throughout the settlement. Even the internal news of the settlement was broadcast, making the dull settlement a lot more lively, and all kinds of fat fish jokes also followed. The news spread, but then, most people could no longer laugh. Mandatory conscription began, and the troops serving were exactly the fleet of transport ships they laughed at.

Compulsory conscription is part of the general mobilization of war, and no citizen can refuse. Once he refuses, he will lose his citizenship and be detained as a deserter. He will not see his body alive or his body after death. In the end, his family members will be exiled from the public star field, and they will end up miserable. .

Compulsory conscription is also an opportunity. A large number of unidentified criminals have the opportunity to clear their names and become serious soldiers. They receive military pay and enjoy soldier benefits. If they persist, they can obtain citizenship after the war and receive generous retirement pensions. .

The soul awakening has to meet the minimum requirements for conscription, which also means that any miner will be forcibly conscripted into the army. The lively scene before suddenly changed the style of painting. There were life and death everywhere, and it was miserable. Only some miners without family members were alone. , no more parting pain.

A long queue lined up at the airport, extending from the residential area to the battleship entrance. Countless small armed aircraft patrolled around, picking out cowards who had avoided military service and escorting them individually like prisoners.

The gangsters are also in the team. Compared with others, they are excluded. Whether they are soldiers in the fleet or miners in the settlements, they all have a bad look on them. It seems that even if they join the army as soldiers, they are still inferior.

The long-lost Gaofeng is also in the dark room, waiting to board the ship. The once high-spirited and proud peak man is now like a dried prune, his face is withered, his eyes are gray, and he is not interested in anything.

The long period of wandering made Gao Feng lose his sense of time. Not long ago, the jump gunship ran out of energy. Gao Feng settled in the settlement to rest temporarily and wait for the next wandering. He never expected that he would be forcibly recruited by the fleet.

Gao Feng could have left quietly, but he didn't. It was too painful to wander alone. The long-term loneliness and monotony made his already withered spirit even more withered. If he continued, he might go crazy.

It might be a good idea to join the fleet. The responsibility of the fleet is to fight against bugs. Gao Feng naturally saw that the modified transport ship almost met the combat standards of the pest army. Although there was no energy light cannon, the hundreds of dense defense and control arrays were definitely a close combat meat grinder. Coupled with thick armor, the survival rate is far better than that of energy battleships.

While waiting for a long time, he suddenly felt that someone's gaze was locked on the area where he was. Gao Feng subconsciously raised his head and looked to the end of his sight. Then he remembered something and turned his head away, no longer caring.

Hundreds of kilometers away from the airport, a large battleship with an equilateral triangle floats quietly in the starry sky like a giant bat. This large battleship, which has a different appearance from the modified fleet, is the flagship of the fleet and the command room of the flagship. Inside, the fleet commander frowned slightly, staring at an infinitesimal creature with a pair of seductive eyes. From a distance of hundreds of kilometers, only the Destroyer could see someone clearly, but he could not distinguish the other person's eyes.

This commander has a humanoid appearance that is rare in the public star field. He has long, bright red wavy hair that reaches down to his waist. His delicate face is charming and charming, like a delicate poppy flower. His long, straight legs end in tight, round legs. Her hips and bright red tail twist flexibly, making her unforgettable for a long time. All the beauty is not as eye-catching as her queenly temperament.

"Strange, is it an illusion? How could the species of destruction be hiding in an abandoned settlement?"

The cold magnetic voice floated ethereally in the command room. Her words were cold, but contained flame-like heat, showing the intertwining of ice and fire, which infinitely amplified her charm.

The commander suspected that the inadvertent sight collision between Gao Feng and himself was just an illusion, but he did not let Gao Feng go and called his adjutant.

"Let that guy come to my flagship and join the commando team. It will be bad luck for him if he dies..."

The adjutant was a female humanoid with skin that was constantly changing color. Seeing Gao Feng's numb face on the holographic screen, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Lord Emile, this is such a rare race. It's rare that you would be interested in him. Are you planning to consider him as a potential partner?"

"Huh? How is that possible? My partner must be the most powerful, at least reaching the peak of destruction. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring?"

Emile, with blood-red hair, raised her white chin proudly, and spoke her thoughts firmly with the awe of a queen.

The adjutant, who could not see his face clearly because of his constant color change, shrugged helplessly and said in a depressed voice:

"Lord Emile, if your idea was correct before, who made you the first genius in the tribe to break through the species of destruction? But now is the time of war, and the species of destruction will also fall. If your death is imminent, there will be no Wouldn’t it be a shame to have tasted the taste of a partner?”

"Weak people are just reptiles. Can you imagine ugly reptiles rolling around on your body? I don't want to. Only the strongest ones are the partners I dream of..."

Emile obviously knew what he wanted and would not be easily persuaded. The adjutant replaced himself as the commander, imagining the reptiles crawling around on his body. He suddenly had a chill and stopped worrying about it and began to report other issues.

During her hypnotic report, Emile's thoughts drifted to nowhere, and an unruly figure emerged in her mind. That was the number one title expert, a human being named Gaofeng. Only such A strong man is the perfect partner she desires!

It's a pity that he can't be found in the entire public star field. He may have perished in the boundless sea of ​​insects long ago. I believe that at the last moment, he faced him head-on and let out an intoxicating roar.

Feng Feng, who was as lonely as an old monk, thought he would just follow the crowd and board a warship according to the position of the queue. In the end, he was left alone and watched helplessly as others boarded the ship in order, each one walking in front of him. Every creature he has ever seen will look at him with complicated eyes. I don’t know if this is discrimination?

Gao Feng doesn't care about other people's eyes. As long as he is willing, it is not difficult to destroy the settlement alone. Hundreds of dark beasts are not vegetarians. Whether they are bugs or other creatures, they can be easily killed.

While waiting boredly, a small shuttle boat took Gao Feng to the triangular flagship. The moment he stepped into the flagship, Gao Feng saw a humanoid creature whose face could not be seen clearly and whose colors kept changing. His heart couldn't help but move. Could he have been exposed?

"What's your name? What race are you from?"

The other party's not very polite question made Gao Feng's suspicion disappear a lot. If he knew his true identity, he would never be so rude. At least he would maintain respect for the peak powerhouse.

"Don't ask, the human race..."

While answering Kana, a sentence flashed through Gao Feng's mind: 'If you don't know the way forward, don't ask where you are going. ’

"Okay, from now on, you are a member of the commando team. You must perform well and be worthy of the commander's eyes..."

The adjutant dropped these words and turned around to leave, leaving Gao Feng staring blankly at the opponent's back. From these words, Gao Feng could tell a lot. His selection into the commando team was personally ordered by the commander.
