Chapter 106 The Marshal Insists on Hindering Me (31)
Shi Shuo knew that Qi Ye was just doing his job, so he had no reason to resist. Besides, he had tried to seduce Qi Ye before, and Qi Ye was already merciful by only sending him back.
Qi Ye and Shi Qi turned and left, leaving Shi Shuo alone, dejected, standing in the distance...
Shortly after leaving, Qi Ye received an urgent communication: "Marshal! The border map of Star S shows that a large number of Zerg are approaching our star and are about to reach the protective shield!"
Upon receiving this message, Qi Ye's expression turned extremely grave. He said to the person on the other end of the communication channel, "Activate the protective shield to its maximum effectiveness. Also, put all soldiers on combat readiness. If any Zerg lands on this planet, kill them without mercy!"
After saying this, Qi Ye turned to Shi Qi and said, "I need to go and instruct them to do the relevant work first. You go and pilot your mech to meet up with the relevant teams. I will be there shortly."
Shi Qi nodded seriously and went in different directions with Qi Ye. Then, the alarm sounded throughout the entire military region. Everyone knew what the alarm meant, so upon hearing the urgent sound, everyone consciously went into combat readiness.
Shi Shuo, who was locked in the room, also heard the sound. He looked up and seemed to understand something...
After Qi Ye's mech soldiers had all assembled, Qi Ye himself arrived in his mech. Then, all the mechs automatically connected to Qi Ye's system.
Shi Qi could hear Qi Ye's voice in his ear: "All soldiers, get ready. As mech soldiers, we must understand our mission—to do everything we can to keep the Zerg out of the shield, even if it means sacrificing our lives... But before we set off, I still want to say that I hope everyone will return safely!"
"Next, everyone, move out!" With this command, the mechs started up and sped towards the atmosphere of Planet S.
After passing through the atmosphere, Shi Qi saw countless giant insects outside the protective shield. Some of these insects had hard exoskeletons and dense, terrifying patterns on their bodies, and their mouthparts and forelimbs were sharp, as if they could easily bite through the mech.
There were also some green or white, fat and bloated, wingless insectoids that clung to the flying insectoids, wriggling incessantly, constantly spitting out a green, viscous liquid from their mouths. In the weightless state, the disgusting liquid kept drifting away, and when it came into contact with meteorite fragments, it could instantly dissolve them.
Shi Qi frowned in disgust; the sight of the Zerg in front of him even triggered his trypophobia, which he had never had before.
Because the mechs themselves were already recorded in the S-Star's defense system, the soldiers easily crossed the protective shield and got closer to the Zerg in front of them.
Just then, Qi Ye's voice rang out again: "You don't need to be too afraid. Apart from the control of the Insect King and Queen, ordinary Insects don't have basic thinking abilities. So, everyone must listen to my instructions!"
As expected of someone who has served as marshal for so many years, Qi Ye has long been seen as the backbone of the army. His words greatly calmed the morale of the troops.
Qi Ye was very experienced and calmly directed the actions of each team, while he and his partner Shi Qi fought on the front line.
Qi Ye and Shi Qi worked together seamlessly. Although they were in the most dangerous place, their superior teamwork and strength kept them unharmed.
Although the mechs blocked most of the Zerg, they couldn't stop them all. Some Zerg still managed to reach the protective shield and relentlessly attacked S-Star's defense system with their lives.
Although the soldiers tried their best to stop them, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming number of Zerg. Fortunately, their reinforcements arrived during the fierce battle.
After arranging the remaining matters, An Jianxing and Huo Yan, who had led their soldiers, arrived. They first connected to Qi Ye's network, and after reporting to Qi Ye, they quickly joined the battle.
As the battle progressed, Qi Ye and Shi Qi gradually led the other soldiers to the center of the Zerg army. There, they saw a large group of Zerg forming a sphere, as if protecting something wrapped inside.
An Jianxing and Huo Yan followed closely behind, and their communications were now connected.
Shi Qi heard An Jianxing's surprised tone: "What is this?"
Clearly, what he had never seen before was something that his classmates Qi Ye and An Jianxing had never seen either, and for a moment no one answered his question.
After a long while, Qi Ye's voice was heard: "No matter what it is, anything that can be protected by the Zerg can't be anything good. We must destroy it."
Everyone agreed with Qi Ye's statement, so the two pairs of partners approached the "big meatball" in front of them from two different directions.
As soon as they got close, the surrounding Zerg seemed to go berserk. Despite previously attacking the protective shield, they now flew directly towards the group, all with an aggressive stance.
Interrupted by the Zerg, the group had to stop what they were doing and were forced to dodge the Zerg army that was charging towards them.
An Jianxing: "These insects are acting like this all of a sudden. I'm starting to suspect that they're protecting the insect king and queen."
His words were absolutely correct, and they immediately enlightened everyone. Yes, what else could be so protected by all the Zerg?
Therefore, Qi Ye immediately ordered all soldiers to stop the Zerg attacking them, while the four of them took the opportunity to launch a heavy attack on the heavily guarded "meatball".
However, as soon as one layer of the "sphere" was destroyed, another group of Zerg filled the gap, seemingly endlessly surging up.
Ultimately, it comes down to the sheer number of Zerg.
While piloting the mecha to attack, Qi Ye said, "Since they outnumber us, let's kill them until they can't replenish their numbers!"
An Jianxing: "Great! It's been a long time since we've fought side by side like this!"
Huo Yan chuckled: "You're getting a bit hot-blooded. Shi Er, you'd better learn from me today."
Unexpectedly, Shi Qi answered the question instinctively: "I will."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them charged forward without hesitation, and Shi Qi followed closely behind. The four of them continuously killed all the insectoid creatures that attacked them along the way, ignoring the occasional attacks they were taken by.
Under their relentless attacks, they actually broke through the Zerg's physical barrier and saw their true form...
On the giant winged insectoid in the very center, a smaller insectoid, its body a deep reddish-gold color, lay there, seemingly without any offensive capabilities.
As we all know, only the King and Queen of Insects have crimson-gold armor, so it is not wrong to guess that this young earthworm is a newly born King.
Just as Qi Ye was about to kill the Insect King, he heard An Jianxing exclaim in surprise, "Old Huo!"
