Chapter 1291: A Precarious Situation
At this moment, the large screens in the main control rooms of the three medium-sized warships displayed Yunxi's red figure, which was wreaking havoc. The commanders on the warships could only see her back, but it was enough to shock them. After all, she appeared in the void alone, without any protective suit or mechs. With just a light strike, she destroyed the insect hive that could have almost wiped out their entire army.
"Commander, what do we do now?"
Someone whispered to the commander, who was staring intently at the screen.
Dongfang Chongguang was pulled back to his senses by the question, and after pursing his lips, he spoke:
"Based on the information we currently have, this suddenly appearing female warrior is a friend, not an enemy. Moreover, judging from the extent of the destruction of the insect hive, we can infer that she has the strength to fight against the mutant insects. Therefore, we'd better treat her politely."
At this moment, a blond vice commander in the command room raised an objection:
"Commander of the East, this female warrior's origins and identity are unknown, and her faction is currently isolated and helpless. I suggest that it is best not to make contact with her rashly. What if she has other purposes? She may also be a vanguard sent by another star system."
You should know that those insects came to the edge of our galaxy through a black hole. If we hadn't been patrolling the border, we would never have been able to discover these interstellar mutant insects.
Furthermore, we know nothing about the interstellar mutants, and the messengers we sent back to our garrison haven't returned with any news. We don't hold the initiative, so we'd better be cautious under these circumstances.
The woman's words silenced the entire control room, leaving even Dongfang Chongguang speechless.
At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out:
"What if, I mean, what if this female warrior came to our galaxy in pursuit of interstellar mutants?"
Judging from the decisiveness and skill with which she acted just now, she must have faced these interstellar mutant insects quite a few times. Perhaps we can get some information about interstellar mutant insects from her.
However, given our patrol team's current weaponry, we are indeed unable to subdue this formidable female warrior. Therefore, I agree with Vice Commander Esme's opinion that we should not make contact with her rashly for the time being, but we can send out friendly signals and at least maintain the status quo.
Dongfang Chongguang's brows unconsciously relaxed, and he nodded, saying:
“Aisme’s concerns are valid, and Zhen Jiu’s suggestion aligns with the proper procedures for handling emergencies. Let’s do it this way for now.”
Before Dongfang Chongguang could issue his order, the screen began to flash, displaying a red exclamation mark, followed by a slightly sharp reminder from the AI:
"Warning! Warning! Warning! The mainframe has been compromised by an unidentified signal. The attacker is reading the XL fleet's patrol information and requests that we cut off external signal transmission channels!"
Dongfang Chongguang's expression changed, and he immediately sat back in the main command chair, opened the separate command screen, and quickly clicked the confirmation button to respond to the AI's judgment.
At the same time, three medium-sized warships encountered the same situation and reacted quickly, but also severed the communication between the three warships.
The mechs and small attack ships that Yunxi had casually tossed aside earlier had also lost contact with the main ship. Fortunately, they were in the same star system, so before receiving orders from the main ship, they took the initiative to retreat back to the warship.
Meanwhile, the insect hive in the starry sky continued to explode and self-destruct, and any remaining insects were eliminated by the mechs and attack ships that returned to the main ship. Yunxi scanned the hive with her divine sense and confirmed that it had been completely destroyed before retrieving her Seven Star Deadly Staff. To be on the safe side, she sent out purple smoke to burn the remains of the hive to ashes before concealing herself.
However, her divine sense had already invaded the main brains of the three medium-sized warships. She needed to determine her location and confirm that she was not in an illusion. Generally, high-level secret realms would set up illusions as the first barrier.
Moreover, according to the information she obtained from Xun Kun, the immortals entering the secret realm will undergo a preliminary screening three days before it opens. Those who fail will be kicked out, and only then can they enter the true "Mysterious Heaven Realm". She has reason to suspect that she is being screened by the realm spirit.
But after Yunxi used her powerful divine sense to obtain all the information in the warship's main brain, she became uneasy. She was then teleported to another star system!
Moreover, this star system is primarily technology-driven, and beings like her are collectively referred to as ancient martial arts warriors. However, in Yunxi's view, ancient martial arts cultivation here, even reaching the Grandmaster level, is only considered a Mahayana cultivation, which is incomparable to her.
So she was also very curious about the purpose of teleporting her, a celestial being with combat power beyond this plane, here, and she didn't feel any rejection from this plane, which made her even more puzzled.
However, because she had destroyed the Zerg hive before, and based on the information she obtained from the three warships, she had a rough guess that her arrival might be related to the appearance of the Zerg hive.
Because these three medium-sized warships were patrol vessels, carrying out routine patrols of the star system's edge, they unexpectedly discovered a Zerg hive that had entered their star system through a wormhole, and they encountered the Zerg without any warning.
Because she had no experience fighting them, she was so passive and might even face total annihilation. And it just so happened that she was teleported here at this time, so she judged that her appearance here was related to the Zerg.
Just as Yunxi was sorting out why she came here, the people on the three warships discovered that the female warrior they had been paying attention to had disappeared. Undeterred, they searched the entire starry sky again, but to no avail.
With a serious expression, Dongfang Chongguang gave the order:
"Zhen Jiu will send another small communications spaceship to BJ34 to report the latest situation."
"Yes, Commander, immediately dispatch communications ship 3412 from the main ship."
The three main ships then remained in a state of communication silence, seemingly waiting for the vanished female warrior to reappear.
Yunxi had no intention of showing herself. She already knew all the information she needed. What she was concerned about now was the unclosed wormhole. She was worried that the Zerg would continue to flood into this star system through the wormhole.
Yunxi's worries came true three days later. This time, what emerged from the wormhole were the Yin-Yang Worms she hated the most. These were soft-bodied worms with their heads and tails connected, making them extremely difficult to kill. Unless you mashed them into a pulp, every time their bodies broke apart, a new Yin-Yang Worm would split off, resulting in more and more worms being killed.
"Tsk! What bad luck!"
Looking at the overwhelming swarm of Yin-Yang insects, Yunxi rubbed her temples, preparing to release the Bingyi White Tiger couple to help.
However, before she made her move, she wanted to see how the fleet would respond.
This was the first time Dongfang Chongguang had ever seen such a super-powered insect, so he tentatively sent out a mecha squad to try to attack these soft-bodied insects. As a result, after the hundred-strong mecha squad clashed with the insects, half of the mechas lost their power in less than fifteen minutes and became nourishment for the insects.
