The next day, the personnel in the central control room noticed that the red dot representing the zerg airship was again gradually deviating from its orbit, and the target was back to Diyang Star.
They were greatly surprised, but Lei Yao still once again simulated the mother zerg’s mental frequency and sent out a distress signal. Once again, the zerg’s ship reversed its direction and flew towards Planet R18.
To be on the safe side, Lei Yao decided to send the distress signal every hour and did not stop until the zerg’s ship entered planet R18’s atmosphere.
“Reporting General, the zerg’s spaceship is determined to land in ten minutes, the landing location is Fierce Tooth Canyon.” Li Sidan looked at the detection instrument and reported.
Only then did Lei Yao remove the helmet from his head, and rubbed the corner of his forehead. His eyes were red and his spirit was very tired, “Is everything ready?”
Li Sidan replied, “Yang Fei and Chi Chuan have prepared an ambush at Fierce Tooth Canyon with two thousand pairs of partners, and the laser is ready.”
“Prepare to fire the laser.”
“Yes, General!” Li Sidan dared not delay and operated the laser as fast as he could.
As he operated it, the electronic female voice emitted one with another beep: “Target is within range, starting to lock on to the target, target lock complete.”
“Laser charge complete is 100% complete and ready.”
“Ready to fire laser, countdown to launch; 10,9,8, 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0!”
With the electronic female voice prompting, the protective layer over the base slowly changed, forming a laser spot with an extremely high concentration of compression. When the electronic voice reached “0”, a bright blue light shot out from the laser point and struck the slowly descending zerg spacecraft with a single blow.
The ship’s protective layer spontaneously opened and it glowed brightly under the laser’s impact before it eventually broke apart. The laser struck the ship’s flight system and the ship plummeted straight to the ground as a result.
The ground trembled, and the strong tremor was felt even in the central control room.
“Right on target! Their spacecraft flight systems have been destroyed!” Li Sidan exclaimed.
On the other large screen, dust filled the whole screen. The sky was filled with yellow sand and smoke in that they could not see the scene inside at all.
Gradually, the dust dispersed and zerg appeared on the screen.
The zerg were three metres tall, with strong thighs and long, thick arms.
Their bodies are greyish-white in colour and their skin is rough like snakeskin, protecting the zerg like a layer of steel armour. A slender tail is used to balance the body, and the broad palms have four fingers connected by webbing. Their claws are so sharp that they can easily tear through the hardest steel armour.
On the human side, the crowd stood at attention.
Behind these terrifyingly large zerg, an alternative-looking zerg slowly emerged. He was smaller than the average worker zerg. He was only two metres tall but had extraordinarily thick thighs and a much wider waist than the average zerg, covered in thick skin.
“Dear humans, we meant no offence, please let us go.” The smaller zerg was the leader of the group, and it did a ventriloquial imitation of the human language. Only, this voice was laced with a very obvious impurity like a snake’s hissing.
“Huh,” Li Sidan said in surprise, “negotiation?”
“You’re travelling to our home planet, Diyang, and you dare to say you don’t mean to offend?” Chi Chuan took a step forward and raised his voice.
The hissing human language once again came from the zerg, “We only intend to replenish our energy on the planet Diyang and immediately continue on our way. Please believe us, we don’t mean to offend.”
“What species of zerg is this?” Li Sidan rubbed his chin in thought. This was the first time they had seen a zerg with such a strange body shape.
“It should be a male zerg.”
“Male zerg? A zerg that provides sperm for the mother zerg?”
Lei Yao nodded, “Hmmm,” and continued to stare at the big screen, saying to the horn, “Ask him why he left the mother zerg?”
Lei Yao rubbed his temples. He didn’t why, but his chest was beating wildly and his mind was haunted by unease. He had never been so panicked even in a large battle with millions of zerg, but what was going on this time?
Lei Yao’s sixth sense had always been accurate and had never been wrong.
Chi Chuan frowned and repeated Lei Yao’s words.
The male zerg did not expect Chi Chuan to recognize his identity and froze before saying, “I am no longer able to provide sperm for the mother zerg. As a useless male, I would be absorbed into her body as sustenance. I escaped with 50,000 of my subordinates to survive. Please rest assured that as soon as we have replenished our energy, we will leave this galaxy immediately.”
“We absolutely cannot let them leave!” Li Sidan hammered the table heavily, “Killing and plundering is their nature and instinct. Who knows when we shall be attacked if we let them leave this galaxy.”
Lei Yao nodded, “You are right, Colonel Li Sidan. Check the Zerg aircraft more deeply. I have a feeling there must be something else inside.”
“Yes, General!” Li Sidan nodded and increased the intensity of the scanner to scan the ship once more.
Due to the breakage of the ship, the scanner had no interference from the protective wall this time, and soon Li Sidan made a startling discovery.
“It’s a mother zerg! This airship contains the mother zerg!”
Lei Yao’s brow furrowed, “Are you sure?”
Li Sidan’s fingers trembled uncontrollably, his voice trembling with fear, “It’s a 4S-class mother zerg that’s been dealing with us for centuries! There’s no mistaking it! General, we have analyzed the mental frequency of the mother zerg and this creature’s frequency is identical. However, she seems to be badly wounded. The mother zerg’s ability fluctuations transmitted before were as high as 4S level, but the scan now shows it’s only at 2S level. This is a good opportunity, General. We can kill the mother zerg and then everything will be over!”
Lei Yao’s frown however tightened as he considered a deeper problem, “I’m afraid we’re about to face a much tougher test, Colonel Li Sidan.”
“What?” Li Sidan asked.
“The nesting planet of Zerg was estimated to have nearly billions of Zerg. Where have they all gone?? What could have hurt a high ranking 4S class mother zerg? Why did they flee with only such a small number? ”
Li Sidan’s face went white and his hands trembled again, “Are….. are you saying that a new queen has appeared in the zerg race?”
“This is just a guess on my part, I think the new zerg queen much be younger, fitter and stronger. They have the habit of bees. Once it is found that the old queen has given birth to a female, she is killed at the first opportunity, otherwise, the young queen will lead a revolt.”
“ It seems a female was born but escaped the old queen’s search. To claim the territory, the young female had to kill the old queen, but the old queen must have taken the opportunity to escape. In her haste, she could only take a small number with her.”
“If we compare with the habits of bees, the old queen will find a new place to build her nest and go into reproduction again, constantly giving birth to workers, turning the surrounding area into her killing and plundering field again.”
Lei Yao’s head hurt even more, “So our enemy now is no longer just the old queen, but also the new queen whose strength we have no idea about. We should not let the old queen leave here. We must kill them all without leaving any behind. They must not be allowed to go to another galaxy to wreak havoc!”
Li Sidan and Lei Yao’s conversation was transmitted through the wireless signal to the ears of Yang Fei and Chi Chuan, the leaders of this battle. Their faces paled and they looked at the ship with even more vigilance and anger, “We will not let you leave no matter how much rhetoric you use! You have no right to negotiate in our presence!”
The male zerg let out a hissing, hoarse laugh, “You want to keep us? Kill! Kill all these insects! Kill all of them!”
Yang Fei sneered, “We should be the ones to say this. You insects can’t be allowed to destroy the peace of other star systems!”
In the Ferocious Tooth Canyon, the war had already begun.
Lei Yao locked onto an athletic and brave figure through the large screen at a glance. He pressed the bridge of his nose and said, “Colonel Li Sidan, prepare a flight pod for me.”
Li Sidan hurriedly said, “General Lei Yao! Please rest in the rear. You have reached the limit of your mental power due to continuous usage for the past two days, you cannot go back into battle. I have already summoned the other sentinels and guides to the front line so we are going all out. Please don’t worry, we will not let the mother zerg go.”
Lei Yao straightened his back. Even though he looked tired, the aura he exuded was still intact: “Has my sentinel gone to the battlefield?”
Li Sidan hesitated for a moment, “Lieutenant Colonel Yang Fei went with him with him because he thought that Mo Ye is strong enough and his abilities did not need spiritual power sustenance.”
“Colonel Li Sidan, since my sentinel has already left for the battlefield, am I to rest here as his guide?”
Lei Yao’s dark pupils dilated for a moment as he picked up the trench coat hanging on the back of his chair and put it on, saying, “Colonel Li Sidan, as your General, I order you to prepare the flight pod.”
A struggling expression appeared on Li Sidan’s face before he finally gritted his teeth and gave a military salute, “Yes, General!”
The next day, the personnel in the central control room noticed that the red dot representing the zerg airship was again gradually deviating from its orbit, and the target was back to Diyang Star.
