Walk alone in the abyss

As soon as he communicated with the Faya people, Yang Ming had a clear mind, and his previous doubts about "why this game hasn't started yet" were also answered.

He immediately asked Lu to find the No. 5 pioneer remotely, and asked Lu to mobilize resources as much as possible to protect this guy from dying in the bug swarm.

How could such an easy-to-use 'server opening countdown timer' be sacrificed casually?

However, looking at it from another angle...

Is there really no chance for your own little broken ball?

The Faya people have begun not to shy away from his identity as a candidate, and have begun to let him do some work as a physical education teacher!

ah this...

There were some abnormalities in Po Huan's body, and she took the initiative to enter the medical cabin.

Yang Ming simply gathered the people together, and looked at the time, it was soon to be a high-level meeting of the military department, now he can only make a long story short, briefly recounting the content of his negotiations with the Faya people.

"We're hunting a false queen."

Yang Ming said seriously:

"And to extract some microorganisms from the pseudo-queen's body.

"The great queen will feel that the false queen died in battle, which will not offend her, but as long as we do something to the microbes in the false queen's body, it is equivalent to touching the sensitive point of the great queen, and she will most likely order the swarm to attack us frantically.

"So, this matter cannot be done near Luofeng."

Law softly said: "Then do it in the empire. However, how to extract the microbes of the false queen and take them away is a more troublesome problem."

026 raised his hand and spoke: "I can do this job, the boss will kill a false queen, and I will extract her microbes... But, you have to tell me how to extract this, my Red Ghost has been upgraded three times, it should be Can come in handy."

Kolev smiled and said, "You young people, be careful, can the Faya people fully trust you?"

"It's not that we trust them completely, but that we have no room to bargain with them." Law sighed, "This is the dimensionality reduction blow of high-dimensional civilization to low-dimensional civilization. It's like, we play some online games, and you as the game manager Will you allow those NPCs to resist your will?"

Kolev just clicked his tongue.

Mimi Li suddenly said: "Why don't you hunt the false queen near the New Federation?"

Yang Ming said: "Our influence is mainly in the empire..."

"There are insect swarms directly related to the Great Queen in the empire. These insects are very powerful. Although the number of insect swarms facing the new federation is extremely large, there will inevitably be remote the existence of the region."

Mimi Li smiled and said:

"Our fleet is on the outskirts of the New Federation, actively attacking the swarm from behind, and after killing a false queen, immediately disperse and escape.

"Let the fleet carrying the microbes of the false queen enter the territory of the empire and muddy the water, wouldn't that be enough?

"If we want to make a move, it must be when the Zerg launches a full-scale offensive.

"It's hard to explain it in the empire, and it has to bear additional risks in the empire. That reason, she has now integrated the empire's network, and it is not suitable for us to do anything in the empire."

026 retorted: "If the boss is not around, can we beat the sixth-order false queen?"

"Yes," said Li softly, "we need to use more than half of our elite fleet. Although it is more risky, the overall risk is controllable, and we can also directly pull Miss Hera's scientific research ship over, collect materials on the spot, Carrying out the experiment, I am sure that our fleet will escape the swarm's counterattack."

Yang Ming closed his eyes and thought about it, and they stopped talking after expressing their views, for fear of disturbing Yang Ming.

Yang Ming said: "Mimily, Lu, 026, the three of you are here to carry out the mission of hunting the false queen, and then discuss where to choose. It doesn't have to be in the territory of the new federation, as long as it is in a non-imperial area."

The three answered at the same time, and then they got together to start a discussion.

Yang Ming glanced at the time, rushed to the medical cabin for a stroll, and found that Po Huan seemed to be enduring some kind of pain, her back was continuously glowing, and there were a few question marks on her forehead.

What's wrong with her?

Feel like you're about to grow wings?

The Faya people put more effort into Po Sao than he, a latecomer who stepped in.

Yang Ming originally wanted to bring Po Suo to participate in today's military meeting, to boost the confidence of the big bosses in the military department, but now it seems that the time for her to show her face can only be postponed again.

When we returned to the bridge, the holographic conference equipment had already been set up here.

Yang Ming entered the virtual meeting room, and under the watchful eyes of a group of generals, he took the only vacant seat on the rostrum.

The knight commander badge on his chest is extremely conspicuous.

Lieutenant General Thomas, who presided over the meeting, said in a deep voice: "Hendon is here, let's start... The current situation is not optimistic. Although we have made so many preparations, we still dare not say anything. We are sure." Repel such a terrifying swarm."

Yang Ming sat there quietly, thinking about the timing in his heart to speak.

He needs more right to speak, and the correspondence with the Fayas is his best bargaining chip when facing the empire.

...

Ding, ding ding——

A continuously rotating coin slowly landed on the table.

There was a constant roar from the ground, and even sitting on the floating sofa, you could still feel the vibration of the conference room.

This is the Skywrath Fortress, an artificial star that is traveling in space.

Gris opened a few bottles of nerve slow-release agents that would not get drunk, and handed them to several middle-aged men and women in military uniforms around him.

There are more than a dozen people resting in the other corner of the conference room. They are waiting for combat orders at any time. They can find a place to lean on at this moment to recharge their batteries.

"I'm going to fight the worms soon. Do you have anything else to explain? Your account passwords, equity securities, precious metals, etc., can all be entrusted to me for safekeeping. I'm so lucky!"

"Get out! I've already left my wife and children behind!"

"Hahaha!"

Gris sighed: "It's not bad that we can arrange our family members in the emperor star circle. At least half of the empire's administrative stars have been exposed to the threat of Zerg, and they can only hide in underground shelters."

"It can't be helped. If we stretch the defense line, it will only give the Zerg a chance to break through."

"It's time to stop thinking about it."

"That's what I'm feeling," Gris took a sip of his drink, "Not to mention anything else, just the shielding device technology brought out by the white ghost. I don't know how many humans can be saved this time."

"It's not that I heard that the Zerg will also evolve. They can't find humans this time, and they will be able to evolve the corresponding ability next time."

"Then our technology cannot be updated and iterated?"

"I mean," a middle-aged uncle muttered softly, "we are an empire, not a democratically elected government, otherwise the white ghost will be a proper president."

"Why!"

Gris glared at this guy: "Be careful what you say! I really think so!"

He winks at the monitor in the corner.

"Hey, that's what I said... everyone just pretend you didn't hear it, hahaha."

"Tell me, why do the Zerg have to fight against us?"

"The continuation of the high-dimensional war, that's what the textbook says."

"And there is still room for survival," Gries said with a smile. "The fertility rate of humans in the Milky Way is below 1% all the year round. This is a problem in our current society, but as long as the fertilized egg in vitro cultivation technology is opened up, the population will increase." Exploding quickly, we could fill the Milky Way galaxy exponentially faster."

"Then why don't we do it?"

"High-dimensional civilization is not allowed, it is written in university textbooks," one person laughed, "What high-dimensional civilization wants is our primitive human civilization, which is constantly changing in the Milky Way in a small-scale and sustainable development model. Exploring different possibilities, the population explosion will give birth to a new large galaxy cluster civilization, which will consume a lot of heavy elements in the entire galaxy... His grandma, anyway, it is the high-dimensional civilization that does not allow us to increase the population without limit."

"Ah, look," someone seemed to have found a blind spot, "The high-dimensional civilization will not let our population explode, and the high-dimensional civilization wants us to fight the space Zerg. Isn't this playing us for fools!"

"Yes," Gries said with a smile, "you can scold the high-dimensional civilization, they don't have the same knowledge as us, so let's stop talking about it!"

Several people laughed twice.

"Gris, aren't you familiar with ghosts? Do you have any gossip?"

Gris sighed: "What gossip can I have? He is a busy man. He is now an official member of the committee and the chief expert on dealing with bug swarms. I am the captain of an ordinary enhanced body elite. It can't be compared, it can't be compared."

While he was talking, a majestic ringtone came from Gris' pocket.

He opened his eyes and immediately cheered up. He made a silent gesture to the people around him and chose to answer.

The bust of Yang Ming appeared in front of Gries.

The others subconsciously sat upright, and quickly hid the drinks in their hands behind them.

Yang Ming's eyes were very bright, and a strong self-confidence rushed to his face, as if he had put a knife on the big queen's neck.

"Gris, are you busy?"

"Ah, waiting for the combat order, we have already entered the state of preparation!"

Gris smiled and said: "I thought you had an order to give, but it seems that you want to chat with me to catch up."

"I can't just convey the order to you directly," Yang Ming laughed, "I'm just worried about you, and I'll say hello, isn't it too stressful."

Gris laughed, glanced at his brothers out of the corner of his eye, and raised his eyebrows.

Several other people suddenly looked annoyed.

Gris laughed and said, "Is there any pressure? When the bug swarm comes, fight them. Do your job well and use all your strength. The worst thing is to fight the bugs."

"Don't have the complex of sacrificing one's life for benevolence, only if you can survive can you continue to export."

Yang Ming exhorted, then turned to ask: "Is the mecha prepared by you there enough?"

"Enough, there are many, all of which are new models developed based on your Specter Mecha, which reduces the load on the driver and increases the firepower equipment and group battle linkage system."

Grace quickly said:

"There are 1.2 million sets of this type of mechs in the Skyfury Fortress, and in the past year, 920,000 general reformers have been added.

"Later, we will act as a sharp knife to carry out the order to assault the Great Queen.

"Once the empire's war machine is activated, it is indeed extremely terrifying."

"The bugs that the empire has to face are at the level of hundreds of billions," Yang Ming shook his head, "You are not enough people."

"Ah this!"

Yang Ming said: "At the combat meeting just now, I have already rejected the battle plan of using you to fight a war of attrition. Soon you will receive orders, and you will be dispersed and replenished to the major fleets to carry out the order to protect the flagships of each fleet."

Gris sneered: "Okay, listen to you, you are an expert in killing insects."

Yang Ming laughed, and continued: "Gries, I hope you can lead fifty thousand reformed fighters to my side, and I will personally command them."

"There is no problem with the transfer order."

"Time is running out. Remember to bring your best equipment. Each person should equip two sets of mechas as much as possible. The logistics team must bring enough. I will lead you to carry out rapid mobile operations. Our goal is those false queens. Then It is the command center of the bugs."

Yang Ming said:

"I just came into contact with high-dimensional civilization, and the bug swarm will soon erupt, and it will erupt simultaneously throughout the galaxy.

"Bugs will not give us a chance to support each other. They will attack our fleet first. However, before attacking our fleet, they may look for human gathering points to clean up, to defeat our fighting spirit and disturb our soldiers their state of mind.

"So, no matter what kind of news you see next, don't feel impatient or urgent.

"We need to stay sane."

"Yes!" Gris shouted loudly.

Yang Ming sighed, and gave a military salute to Greese: "Come over in half a day, I'll wait to fight side by side with you."

Greese stood up abruptly, returned a military salute to Yang Ming, and hung up the communication with his own hands.

Um?

Why do you feel that the surrounding atmosphere is a bit wrong?

Gris turned his head and saw a dozen strong men and strong women with green eyes swarming behind him.

"Gris! We usually have a good relationship, right?"

"I usually take you with me when I drink and pick up girls!"

"Gris! Do you remember that we were drunk that day?"

"Take me one!"

"Made! Charge against the bugs with the white ghost, it's worth dying for!"

"My team members are all White Ghost fans!"

Grace: ...

His damn charisma.

...

On the border of the empire, on a remote administrative star.

In the underground shelter with a depth of more than 800 meters, the crowd is scattered in dozens of underground fortresses. The internal structure of each fortress is like an ant cave, and there are hundreds to thousands of human beings living in each 'room'.

They have prepared sufficient supplies, have a complete oxygen generation system and sewage system, and will not have any interaction with the outside world.

In addition to this, they must also maintain radio silence.

No one knows what's going on outside.

But the red indicator light, which represented the arrival of the next day's disaster, remained on.

When the swarm subsides, someone will come to tell them that the disaster is over, and they can return to the cities on the surface, resume their previous lives, continue to thrive on this planet, and continue their genes.

Everyone's mood is relatively stable.

Take the cavern on the farthest edge as an example. Except that it cannot be connected to the Internet, all kinds of facilities are available here.

Amid the rhythmic music, dozens of elderly human men and women danced simple social dances, while the most social young people gathered near the game consoles and book shelves, keeping a relative distance.

The simple children's playground is the most popular among the children. At the tables and chairs set up next to it, the parents chat and drink tea. Everything is so 'daily'.

A photo of the white ghost's armor is pasted on the door of the cavern.

This is their patron saint, although now, this patron saint cannot hover over the planet to deter those bugs who might arrive here.

"We are actually quite dangerous," a middle-aged man said worriedly. "Even if the bugs can't sense our biological information, our city is above the surface. If they want to deal with us, they can still find it underground." found."

"But why do they want to deal with us who have no ability to resist?"

"That's right, the worms will go to the army first. Don't scare yourself here. If we are on the surface, the worms may come down and kill us when they pass by. Now they don't need to attack us."

"In order to destroy our military array and put pressure on our military?"

"It's possible..."

"You man, can you think of something better! Everyone is under a lot of pressure! Don't say that some of these things are okay!"

boom!

Suddenly there was a slight tremor at the edge of the cave.

Faint cracks appeared in the ceiling above.

People looked up with a bit of horror in their eyes, and the rhythmic music became a little abrupt, abrupt and noisy.

Boom, boom!

The stone chips rustled down, and the sound of the bombardment became more vivid!

In a few seconds, the roof of the cave suddenly collapsed, and a giant earth-digging worm with a length of tens of meters covered in pitch black crashed down on the stone wall, crushing dozens of humans below who had no time to dodge.

the swarthy armor;

The terrifying compound feet and the mouthparts flowing with highly corrosive mucus;

Those slightly vibrating tentacles, and the thin wings spread out on the back...

"insect!"

"They found us!"

"ah--"

Screams, buzzing, abuse.

Insects with a length of six to seven meters surged down from the huge hole above.

In the corner of the cave, a trembling child was hugged tightly by his mother, and a fifth-order common adult flew towards him. The raised knife limbs and the fragile but strongly arched back of the child's mother formed a famous scene. For a cruel picture.

Blood was spattered on the corner wall.

The tens of thousands of digging worms digging on the surface of this planet at the same time began to gather in this direction.

Countdown to bug infestation: 0 standard galactic days.
