My empire of stars

"Lower the height of the spacecraft and scan the planet, paying special attention to the forests and underground areas." Li Mingze felt that something was wrong with the planet, but he couldn't explain it.

The Nautilus gradually lowered its orbital altitude, and the scanner on the bottom of the ship began to continuously scan the planet below the spacecraft.

Taking advantage of the gap in scanning, Li Mingze and others went to the equipment room to change the equipment for landing.

"A large number of cavities have appeared ten meters below the surface of the planet. Signs of life can be detected in the cavities. It is initially suspected that they are underground gathering places for the Zerg."

"The Zerg units on this planet should have gone underground to hide. I suspect that the distress signal may be a trap!" Charlotte said solemnly.

"Is there any building where the distress signal came from? Are there any signs of life outside the building?" Li Mingze frowned slightly and leaned over the holographic screen to observe carefully.

"The place where the distress signal was sent is a large building buried underground. There is a layer of armor on the outside of this building that blocks biological information. We cannot scan the internal structure of the building or whether there are living things inside." The radar operator shrugged helplessly. shrugged.

"I'll go down by myself, and you guys are responsible for covering me!" Li Mingze ordered the crowd with a wave of his hand.

"Captain, you can't!" Everyone stopped him in unison.

"This is an order! It must be carried out!" Li Mingze shouted coldly, turned and walked towards the elevator of the spaceship.

Among the people, the gunner and deputy gunner stayed on the bridge, while the others followed Li Mingze with guns in hand.

When the Nautilus was suspended at a low altitude of fifty meters above the ground, the elevator door at the bottom of the spacecraft suddenly opened, and Li Mingze and others aimed their rifles at the ground.

"Captain, that barn-style building is the entrance to the underground building. We will cover you from above. You must be fast! If all the bugs on the planet are attracted, it will be in trouble!" Charlotte said in front of Li Mingzeer Bian said loudly.

"Understood!" Li Mingze nodded and made an OK gesture, lowered his mask and jumped out of the elevator.

When his body was about to land on the ground, the jet behind the power armor started violently, allowing Li Mingze to land steadily on the top floor of the barn.

Due to the excellent stealth performance of the power armor, the bugs underground did not seem to notice Li Mingze jumping down.

Li Mingze dodged into the barn through the airtight door on the barn.

The interior of the barn is a staircase spiraling downward from the top, with a hollow space in the middle.

On the bottom floor of the barn building is a circular elevator. The elevator's signal light is still flashing green. It seems that its power supply is independent. It has been occupied for so long and there is still a power supply.

After looking around, there was nothing else except this elevator. Li Mingze stood on the elevator and pressed the button.

The elevator began to descend little by little. After descending to an unknown depth, a heavy alloy door appeared in front of him.

The camera next to the gate moved slightly and focused on Li Mingze, who was in a daze.

"Who are you!" A questioning voice came from the speakers on both sides of the door.

"I received a distress signal from here and came here to see if there was anyone I could help with." Li Mingze put his rifle aside and waved his empty hands.

"What's going on with the Federation now? Have they defeated those damn bugs?" the man shouted excitedly.

"I disappoint you. The entire river system has been captured by the Zerg. We are the only resistance left, so can you open the door first and let me in?" Li Mingze pointed to the alloy door in front of him.

"Yes, but you can't hold weapons!" The man hesitated and then agreed.

In less than a minute, the heavy alloy door opened outwards, and the ground began to vibrate slightly due to the movement of the alloy door.

At this moment, the bugs hiding underground suddenly moved their tentacles, and they seemed to feel the breath of creatures from the air!

Following the direction of the smell leak, all the bugs climbed up from the ground and moved quickly towards the barn.

"Captain, you have to hurry up! The bugs have discovered your presence!"

"The Nautilus opens fire with all its strength! Try to delay as much time as possible for the captain!" Charlotte looked at the black insect swarm on the horizon in the distance and shouted into the communicator.

The top armor of the Nautilus suddenly unfolded, and a rapid-fire cannon protruded from the spacecraft. A rapid-fire cannon also protruded from both sides of the lower part of the spacecraft.

In addition, some of the close-defense weapons outside the spacecraft's armor are also turned on, and laser transmitters are spinning around, waiting for the enemy to approach.

"Load anti-matter shells, start ballistic calculations, and fire all weapons with full force!" As Yang Lin roared, the three anti-matter rapid-fire cannons on the spacecraft fired wildly at the surrounding insect swarms.

Cannonballs filled with antimatter roared and shot in all directions. After a while, a series of explosions began to sound around the spacecraft.

The energy released by the annihilation of antimatter and matter on the ground directly blew away all objects within a diameter of tens of meters.

The front of the running insect swarm was directly blown to pieces by this series of attacks.

However, because there are too many bugs, even though the rapid-fire cannon on the spacecraft is firing shells all the time, the number of bugs still does not decrease! And these insect swarms are slowly approaching the spacecraft!

At this time, Li Mingze also saw an old man behind the door. The old man was wearing a white coat and holding a rifle in his hand.

"I don't know who you are, but now we are surrounded by insects. If you want to survive, follow me quickly!" Li Mingze shouted at the old man.

"Oh, wait! I still have research materials to take away. That is my life's work!" The old man originally planned to follow the elevator, but suddenly thought of something and turned around and walked towards the building.

"Hurry up!" Li Mingze shouted anxiously to the old man.

At this time, above the underground fortress, the insect swarm had approached a distance of two thousand meters from the barn.

The spacecraft's close-defense weapons can also attack at this distance, so the forward momentum of the insect swarm is greatly reduced.

However, this could not delay for long, as these bugs were still advancing towards the barn at a speed of nearly ten meters per second.

More than a minute later, the old man ran out of the underground fortress and came to the elevator holding a metal box.

At this time, the bug was only more than fifty meters away from the barn, and Charlotte and others had already begun to attack with their weapons.

At the rear of the swarm, countless Zerg poisonous scorpions began to crawl towards here, followed closely by tank beasts and two other unseen Zerg units!
