Chapter 1292 Unexpected
The mech warriors transmitted the footage of the mech before it was destroyed back to the main ship. Dongfang Chongguang watched as the insects were able to devour the energy beams fired by the mech. Then the insects entangled the mech, and in a short while, the mech's power system was completely paralyzed, rendering it incapable of combat.
On the contrary, the warriors who used cold weapons lasted longer, but after cutting off the soft-bodied worms, they not only failed to kill the mutant worms, but also increased their number.
However, the green liquid sprayed by the mutant insects was extremely corrosive. Many mech warriors were corroded to the point of being reduced to ashes by this green liquid, resulting in a one-sided battle.
Esme clenched her fist and turned to Dongfang Chongguang, saying:
"Commander, we cannot allow our soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices. It would be best to recall them as soon as possible, activate the energy shield, and hold out until reinforcements arrive."
Zhen Jiu, standing to the side, also looked reluctant, but he still spoke in a hoarse voice an undeniable fact:
“Commander, if we retreat, those mutant insects will probably head to the border patrol planet as quickly as possible. Once they occupy the patrol planet and use it as their new nest, we will be in a very passive position.”
Furthermore, we currently do not know the intelligence level of these mutant insects. If they use this to gradually approach the main star system, it will pose a significant obstacle to our subsequent counterattack.
Esme's eyes were practically spitting fire; her emerald green eyes glared fiercely at Zhen Jiu, and she said in an unfriendly tone:
“Zhen Jiu, you’re right, but we can’t just stand by and watch the excellent soldiers trained by the Federation go to their deaths. That won’t help our counterattack later.”
Zhen Jiu didn't want to watch her companions go to their deaths, so she could only look at Dongfang Chongguang and say:
"Commander, given this situation, can we use hydrogen-uranium bombs? We have two on each ship. We can try launching one first and see if we can wipe out these mutant insects."
Zhen Jiu's proposal received the support of most people. In the end, Dongfang Chongguang ordered the mecha team to retreat and then launched the first hydrogen uranium bomb at the overwhelming swarm of insects.
Yunxi was sitting cross-legged on top of the main ship where Dongfang Chongguang was, and she witnessed the entire process of the hydrogen uranium bomb explosion. Her powerful divine sense allowed her to see the entire annihilation process.
It can only be said that Dongfang Chongguang and his team won this gamble. The Yin-Yang Worm was blasted into fragments by the powerful hydrogen-uranium bomb, eliminating any possibility of regeneration and averting the first wave of crisis.
Yunxi frowned. Based on her ten years of experience fighting against the Zerg, the Zerg sent in the early stages were just a probe, or rather, a vanguard testing the strength of this plane.
The insect hive she destroyed earlier was probably a temporary settlement sent by the Zerg, but because of her interference, nothing came of it. The Zerg didn't send any more hives, but instead sent the Yin-Yang Zerg, which has the strongest regeneration ability, to the front. Now that the Yin-Yang Zerg has also been killed, the Zerg will send out even stronger insects next, which is not a good thing.
Looking at the three main ships quietly parked not far from the wormhole, as well as the mech combat group that had just withdrawn, Yunxi believed that the best solution was to close the wormhole. Without this teleportation channel, the insects would be unable to do anything. Moreover, she had reason to suspect that the wormhole was constructed by the insect race, and its purpose, besides invading the star system, might also be to escape and preserve its strength.
Yunxi immediately sent her consciousness into the space, trying to contact "Fairy Aura," but the other party's avatar was gray, clearly indicating that they were not online. She could only leave a message telling the other party about her discovery.
Just as she was about to leave the chat group, "Star Trek" sent her a private message:
"Little Yunyan, you're finally online. The tree you gave me is very precious. I've made some progress in my research. In the future, it might be able to help newborns with congenital diseases get rid of their genetically defective bodies. This is a groundbreaking advancement and discovery that will be recorded in the history of the Federation."
Yunxi could tell from just one line of text how excited "Star Trek" was. The Langhuan Twin Flowers were not ordinary immortal plants, otherwise they would not have been sought after by immortals and become the best choice for refining clones. So she replied with "Congratulations" and indicated that she was currently training in the secret realm.
Star Trek: "What a coincidence? Is there anything special about this secret realm? You didn't seem to contact me after you entered the secret realm before." Yunxi stared at the line of text on the screen for a while, the fleeting thought that had crossed her mind slowly fading away. She rubbed her fingers together and then sent a message to Star Trek.
Where are you now? Which galaxy do you belong to?
Star Trek didn't expect "Fleeting Clouds" to ask this question. Based on his interactions with this group member, the other person didn't seem like the type to pry, so after thinking about it, he replied:
"The star system I'm in is the Cloud Sea Star System. The entire star system has joined the Interstellar Federation. I belong to the Third Army Group and am a senior medical officer, responsible only for the commander's physical condition."
Yunxi took a deep breath, feeling that she had grasped the tail of the glitter, so she continued to ask:
"Are you referring to Commander Yin Tong, the commander of the Third Army Group? She is the oldest among the nine army groups."
This time, the "Star Trek" commenter was surprised and took a while to reply:
"How did you know?"
He knew very well that he had never leaked any information about Commander Yin Tong to this friend in the group chat. Suddenly, a bold guess popped into his mind, and with trembling hands, he sent another message:
"Yunyan, you're not in the Yunhai Galaxy right now, are you?"
Yunxi exhaled a breath of stale air and replied with a single word, "Yes."
"Star Trek" felt a mix of emotions, like someone meeting an online friend in person, but he quickly realized what was happening and immediately asked:
"Yunyan, how did you end up in my world?"
Yunxi only replied with eight words:
"By chance and the whims of fate."
Then she got straight to the point and told the other party about the Zerg attack on Dongfang Chongguang's patrol fleet.
Star Trek: "Is this true? The Federation of Planets has not received any information."
Yunxi said helplessly:
"The ships they sent to deliver the message have either been attacked or haven't even reached the patrol planet yet. They've already used a hydrogen-uranium bomb, and we don't know what will emerge from the wormhole next. You'd better report to your superiors as soon as possible."
After saying that, he posted a video to prove that he was not lying.
Star Trek hesitated. His family's chat group, passed down through generations, had not appeared in the Federation. If he reported it according to procedure, he would definitely be questioned about the source of the information, and he really couldn't explain it.
Yunxi had anticipated the difficulties of "Star Trek," so she directly offered her suggestion:
"If you don't want to be exposed, then use extraordinary means to upload the Zerg invasion footage that I sent you to the mainframe. The mainframe will verify it and report it. Just make sure no one finds the upload path."
