The Zerg encountered in Spade 8 have extremely strong climbing and jumping abilities.
But now, these insectoids have actually grown wings.
Countless swarms of insectoids flew through the sky, like a vast, dark cloud, rapidly approaching the group. The eerie buzzing sound was the sound of the insectoids flapping their wings as they flew.
This is far more terrifying than the locust swarms Xiao Lou had ever seen...
Judging from this situation, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the swarms of insectoids.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and decisively said, "Retreat quickly!"
However, before they could retreat, the winged insectoids seemed to have received some kind of command, and suddenly swooped down, pouncing on them like hungry tigers!
A dense swarm of Zerg swarms descended from the sky upon the five people. Xiao Lou was instantly knocked to the ground, fortunately his sturdy frame held up.
His armor shielded him from the first wave of attacks; otherwise, the Zerg's sharp wings might have already pierced his body.
Seeing this, Yu Hanjiang's eyes widened in fury. He drew his military knife and swiftly slashed at the surrounding Zerg, carving a bloody path through them. He rushed to Xiao Lou's side and whispered, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?!"
Xiao Lou was still dizzy from the fall, but he wasn't injured. He quickly said, "I'm fine. Everyone, let's go! Don't linger in the fight, there are too many Zerg here!"
Yu Hanjiang activated the Lightness Skill Card, grabbed Xiao Lou, and rushed towards the starship!
Ye Qi originally had a musical instrument card to control these insectoids, but now he was wearing clumsy armor and couldn't hold the instrument at all. Seeing that he was surrounded by countless insectoids and couldn't get up for a long time, Shao Qingge's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he took out the Bug King Card without hesitation.
A piercing shriek whistled past his ears as Shao Qingge removed his armor, his eyes instantly turning blood red.
Transform into the Insect King!
He was issuing commands to the surrounding swarms in the Zerg language.
Upon hearing the command, the Zerg swarm paused for a few seconds, seemingly hesitant.
Shao Qingge said into the headset, "Run! I don't know how long I can control them. There must be a higher-level Zerg behind them, and their commands are conflicting with mine—she wants to kill us all!"
Ye Qi's expression changed, and he immediately activated the Teleportation Card.
He intended to teleport to Sister Ying's starship, but when he turned around, he saw that Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had been knocked to the ground by a dense swarm of insects. He didn't know what had happened, but they both seemed to be in great pain, their faces pale.
Ye Qi wanted to go and save them, but Shao Qingge whispered, "Go back, I'll save them."
"But…" Ye Qi wanted to say, what if you can't control the situation?
Shao Qingge whispered, "Be good!"
Ye Qi had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around, and leave, saying in a trembling voice, "Be careful."
At this moment, Shao Qingge was still more than ten meters away from Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci. The sky and the ground were swarming with insectoid creatures. Shao Qingge took off his armor and leaped to Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci's side.
The surrounding insectoids sensed his presence and retreated.
Seeing that the two looked pale, Shao Qingge asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Lu Jiuchuan's voice was hoarse: "My head hurts so much, my brain feels like it's going to explode!"
Tang Ci also said he had a headache.
Shao Qingge said, "I'll take you away."
He took Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci with him using the teleportation card, and was about to turn around and leave when a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Do you think you can just come and go as you please in our insectoid territory?"
Shao Qingge's expression changed— Zerg Queen.
Unlike the level 10 queen encountered in Spade 8, this queen seemed to be of a higher level. Shao Qingge was unable to command her and even sensed a strong sense of oppression.
The Queen said softly, "Children, go and kill them."
Shao Qingge is the alien Zerg King, while this Queen is the supreme leader of Zerg Planet. Need I say more about who they should listen to? The Zerg, which had been suspended in the air, seemed to have been activated, and rushed towards Shao Qingge and his companions even more frantically!
Tang Ci and Lu Jiuchuan's memories resurfaced in the familiar environment. Especially after hearing the Queen's voice, their heads were about to explode, and their brains were almost unable to think. It felt as if a knife was constantly cutting their nerves in their brains, and the two of them fainted!
As the dense swarm of insectoids rushed towards Shao Qingge, Ye Qi turned pale with fright, his hands clenching into fists. He watched helplessly as Shao Qingge was overwhelmed by the massive insect swarm, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed tightly by two hands...
Ye Qi roared, " Shao Qingge, come back now!"
The voice, tinged with sobs, reached Shao Qingge's ears through the earphones.
Overwhelmed by countless swarms of insects, Shao Qingge was covered in wounds. In order to protect the unconscious Ninth Brother and Tang Ci, he had to use his body to withstand the attacks of these insectoids.
But he was, after all, the King of Insects.
His terrifying regenerative abilities allowed his body to heal rapidly. He even forcefully broke off the wing of an insect, twisted off its head, and deliberately turned his own wounds towards the insect.
Countless tiny insects entered his body through his bloodstream.
Seeking fusion when faced with danger is indeed in the nature of the Zerg.
Ye Qi saw the man stand up from the swarm of insects. His clothes were stained with blood, but a smile played on his lips, and his blood-red eyes narrowed slightly as he said mockingly, "Thank you for sending me advanced insectoids so I can continue to evolve. Do you think they can harm me?"
The Zerg Queen shrieked, "Step back! I'll deal with him!"
The surrounding insects retreated swiftly behind him like a receding tide. Shao Qingge saw a gigantic mother insect appear in the air. She had eight pairs of wings and looked exactly like Chu Huaying's Starship. Her size was hundreds of times that of Shao Qingge. Such a colossal creature startled Shao Qingge...
The Queen of Zerg Planet is way too monstrous!
Shao Qingge said into the earpiece, " Hua Ying, I'll hold her off. You get the starship up and running, or we won't be able to get out!"
Chu Huaying immediately pressed the start button.
The spider-like starship spread its wings and instantly soared into the sky.
Ye Qi stood by the porthole, looking at the man suspended in mid-air, her eyes reddening: "Will he be alright on his own? What if he can't beat the Queen? The Queen of Zerg Planet seems much stronger than the one we encountered on Spade 8..."
Xiao Lou gently pressed
Ye Qi patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, CEO Shao knows what he's doing."
Through the porthole, one could see Shao Qingge and the Zerg Queen locked in fierce combat. The queen seemed intent on devouring him, aiming every attack at his vulnerable head!
But Shao Qingge was extremely agile, and having just eaten a flying insectoid, he had evolved the ability to fly. He flew nimbly in the air and narrowly avoided the Queen's claws several times!
The Queen is large and powerful; a single claw strike could even cleave a mine in two. But Shao Qingge is more agile and nimble, and in this clash of titans, it's difficult to determine a victor for the time being.
Ye Qi watched with trepidation, fearing that CEO Shao might accidentally be devoured by the Queen...
He was extremely worried, but he couldn't help and could only fret anxiously.
As the starship drifted further and further away from Zerg Planet, Ye Qi choked up and said, "What will happen to him if we leave?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingge's familiar voice rang out from behind: "This queen is indeed not easy to deal with. We should leave quickly. After all, this is the territory of the Zerg. Staying here any longer will not bring us any advantage."
Ye Qi suddenly turned around and found that Shao Qingge had brought Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci directly into the command room.
Xiao Lou explained, "I used Li Qingzhao's marker to teleport them over."
This is also why Shao Qingge deliberately delayed for 5 minutes.
Ye Qi was so flustered that he forgot about this plan. Seeing Shao Qingge covered in blood, his eyes reddened slightly. He turned and rushed towards Shao Qingge, tightly embracing the man before him, and said worriedly, "Are you alright? I was so scared! I was afraid the Queen had killed you..."
Shao Qingge was embraced by the boy, and his heart softened slightly. He stroked Ye Qi's hair and whispered, "It's alright. My body can heal. It's just a little blood." He chuckled and hugged Ye Qi, "Don't worry."
Ye Qi realized that he didn't seem injured, and then she felt relieved and blushed as she broke free from his embrace.
Shao Qingge pointed at Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci and said, "Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang just fainted."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hanjiang hurriedly stepped forward and quickly removed the armor from the two men.
Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had their eyes closed, and they had indeed fallen into a coma.
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "What's going on?"
Shao Qingge said, "I don't know either. They suddenly fainted just now. It's very likely that they were stimulated by the Queen's voice, remembered something, and had a terrible headache that they couldn't bear."
If Ninth Brother and Tang Ci can actually remember something, then their trip to Zerg Planet will have been worthwhile.
***
Lu Jiuchuan had a long nightmare, with jumbled images flashing through his mind.
He heard a deep, authoritative voice speak slowly to him: "They're just some bugs. Once we eliminate those worms, we can occupy this precious resource planet. This operation needs to be kept secret. For Arrow Legion, carrying out this mission shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Lu Jiuchuan gave the other party a standard military salute: "Yes, sir!"
The other party said, "Scientists sent drones to scout this planet. There are no intelligent life on the entire planet. Those low-level insects could be burned to ashes with a single fire. I'm giving you six months to clear all obstacles on the planet, establish Arrow Legion's military base, and assist subsequent mining companies in settling in..."
Lu Jiuchuan saw himself walking out of the military headquarters building and arriving at Arrow Legion.
His subordinate asked him, "Did the general summon you for a new mission?" Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Astronomers have discovered a resource planet, but it has been taken over by insects. The general has ordered us to eliminate the insect swarm."
"Eliminate the bugs? That's easy!" "Why not just use insecticide? Why mobilize the entire Arrow Legion?" "The entire planet is overrun by bugs; insecticide probably can't handle it. Just burn it down..."
The officers were discussing it.
At that time, nobody took the "insects" seriously.
Later, Lu Jiuchuan led Arrow Legion to Zerg Planet and was speechless with awe at what he saw—
The sheer number of these Zerg swarms must exceed several billion. The entire planet is covered by black Zerg creep. How easy is it to wipe out the swarm?
The planet was too large, so Arrow Legion's vanguard drove their armored vehicles to drop gunpowder in batches and areas. In the blink of an eye, the black planet was engulfed in flames!
Amidst the scorching heat of the raging fire, they heard a chilling, piercing scream—
The insects' shrill screams were able to penetrate the starship's barrier and reach everyone's ears clearly!
It's just burning some bugs, nothing to worry about... That's how everyone comforted themselves.
But soon, a terrifying scene unfolded—
When faced with danger, the Zerg suddenly began frantically merging with each other.
The advanced Zerg that emerged from the fusion of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Zerg members even grew wings that allowed them to fly! Lu Jiuchuan's vanguard was attacked by tens of thousands of advanced Zerg and was completely annihilated!
Those Zerg's hard claws could actually destroy the highest-level armor!
Is this some kind of "low-class bedbug"?
Lu Jiuchuan realized that he had encountered an alien creature he had never seen before and immediately ordered a retreat.
However, just as the warship was preparing to evacuate, a gentle woman's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. The voice was very soft, as if it were carried by the wind, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's mind.
She said, "You humans, who invaded the Zerg homeland and slaughtered my people..."
Haven't we done enough evil over the years?
Lu Jiuchuan asked in shock, "Who are you?"
Aren't these supposed to be mindless, low-level creatures? Why are they speaking human language?
The other party chuckled lightly: "Since you're here, then you'll be buried with my people."
As soon as she finished speaking, countless winged high-level insectoids swarmed over like a bee, instantly surrounding Lu Jiuchuan's starship. They shattered the starship's defensive shield with their sharp claws—
Lu Jiuchuan was instantly jolted awake from his nightmare.
He pressed his temples, his face pale, and whispered, "I remember now."
