Chapter 1296 Arrival at the Battlefield
Before Rodman could finish speaking, Xu Yinyin exclaimed:
"Look, everyone, look at the wormhole!"
Then she quickly clicked on the light screen to transmit the image from her small screen to the main light screen.
Everyone saw the black beetle with its head severed being pushed out of the black hole. After its entire body came out, it hovered in front of the black hole. Then, countless medium-sized black beetles flew out from the dead behemoth, forming a dark mass, and then rushed towards the reinforced defense line again, and a new round of battle began.
Yunxi had already warned these people that she didn't plan to take action unless those super-large black beetles appeared. This was a battle within the Yunhai Star System, and she was just ordered to stabilize the situation.
Just as the two sides clashed again, the second echelon of warships arrived at the scene. After a brief exchange between the commanders of both sides, the arriving warships quickly dispatched combat teams to join the battle and stabilize the defensive line.
As the number of Zerg foes continued to increase and the operational range expanded, the resulting lengthened battle lines led to a shortage of manpower. Since the third echelon of battleships had not yet arrived, Chu Yuanzhen convened a temporary operational meeting and then used beam hydrogen uranium bombs on the surging mutant Zerg, temporarily halting the Zerg attack.
However, when using the third round of beam hydrogen uranium bombs, Yunxi discovered that the Zerg were actually trying to devour the power of the bombs, and she couldn't help but marvel at how strong the Zerg's teeth were.
However, she could understand the Zerg's actions. After all, in their eyes, such bombs were also a kind of energy body, and they could devour any kind of energy. Perhaps this power would trigger a new round of mutations in them.
Therefore, Yunxi kept a close eye on the state of the insect swarm with her divine sense. In particular, when she discovered that some black beetles had actually withstood the attack of the hydrogen uranium bomb and absorbed some power, and began to try to merge, she decisively took action.
She awakened the sleeping Black Obsidian, gently turned the umbrella handle, and Black Obsidian flew out of the umbrella surface with a flick of its tail. Then, it multiplied into nine, becoming a hundred-zhang-long black dragon that rushed into the protected swarm of black beetles, shredding the beetles that were fusing with new power to pieces before flying back to the umbrella surface with satisfaction.
After retrieving the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, Yunxi turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The second-tier commander, Dennis Wu, stared at the empty screen, his blue-purple eyes flashing, and immediately contacted Chu Yuanzhen:
"Major General Chu, is that woman in red the mysterious warrior you mentioned?"
Chu Yuanzhen nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes, this is not the first time she has lent a helping hand. Before our team arrived, she saved Dongfang Chongguang's patrol fleet. I suspect that the message received by the AI was uploaded by her."
Dennis pondered for a moment and said:
"She's amazing!"
Chu Yuanzhen nodded silently. The opponent alone could match the attack power of their entire fleet. Although Vice Commander Xu Yinyin had briefly communicated with the opponent (actually, it was Yun Xi who informed them), it was clear that their status was insufficient, so the mysterious person disdained to communicate with them.
Chu Yuanzhen nodded and said:
"Indeed, at least we know she's not on the side of the mutant insects, and that's enough. Let's drive these invaders back first."
Dennis agreed with Chu Yuanzhen's words and echoed:
“You’re right, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Commander Yin should be able to arrive at the battlefield with the third echelon of warships tomorrow. I hope the mysterious person will be willing to communicate with the commander then.”
"I hope so."
The two then ended their conversation and turned their attention to the battle.
Because of Yunxi's covert attacks, although the wormhole became more stable, the Zerg were still unable to break through the defenses set up by the Third Army Group, so they became somewhat anxious and summoned more attacking Zerg into this star field.
Just then, Commander Yin Tong arrived at the front line, and the appearance of the third echelon of warships greatly relieved the combat pressure. Commander Yin Tong was helped up from the pressure chamber by Nalan Hang and given a vial of recovery medicine, and he visibly regained his energy.
Nalan Hang monitored Yin Tong's physical condition in real time, and only removed the silver metal plate that was attached to Yin Tong's temple after all the data had stabilized within the normal range.
"Commander Yin, you are in good physical condition. As long as you get six hours of rest every day, you should be able to command operations normally."
Yin Tong smiled slightly and said:
"I understand. Thank you for coming to the battlefield with me. I will officially retire after this battle, and then I will transfer you back to the military-controlled research institute so that you can focus on your research."
Nalan Hang was pleased, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he still said respectfully:
"Thank you for your care, Commander."
After Yin Tong stood up, the door to the treatment room opened automatically. The senior officers outside had been waiting for a while. When they saw Yin Tong appear, they quickly followed and then reported in a low voice the combat results of the first two battle groups.
Although Nalan Hang lagged behind, he listened attentively and followed them all the way into the main command room. In just a few minutes, he was able to get a general understanding of the situation on the front lines, especially the mysterious female warrior they were talking about. This immediately reminded him of "Fleeting Clouds" in the chat group, and he suddenly felt a little excited.
When Nalan Hang saw the red figure projected on the screen, he was so excited that his breathing became rapid. This was the first time in his life, and even in the history of his ancestors, that he had met his online friends face-to-face.
Yin Tong looked at the red figure and asked in a calm voice:
"Is there no frontal image of this mysterious person?"
The adjutant standing nearby immediately replied:
"Reporting to the commander, no! The other side never showed its face. The team that arrived early only recorded the scene of her attacking the mutant insect."
Then, the screen displayed footage of Yunxi beheading the giant black beetle and destroying the black beetle that had fused with the new power. The overwhelming aura was palpable even through the screen, and the entire control room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a moment, Commander Yin Tong finally spoke:
"I have arrived. I believe she will show up soon. I will invite her to visit the main ship. I want to meet this mysterious female warrior."
Immediately, some people voiced their opposition:
"Commander, this is too risky. What if she does something detrimental to you and the Third Army? Once she boards the ship, we will be put on the defensive and unable to launch an effective attack."
Yin Tong said in a calm tone:
"You're a bit too confident. Our strength is not equal at all. In her eyes, we might just be a stronger child. Those mutant insects that are considered high-risk invasive species are probably just insects that she can crush with a flick of her wrist."
Someone immediately said bluntly:
"If that's the case, why doesn't she just take action and completely eliminate the mutant insects?"
Yin Tong glanced at the only incompetent member of the command team and replied coldly:
"Why should they drive away the intruders for us? Is it because you're arrogant or can you afford to pay them?"
The male commander, whose face darkened slightly after being rebuked, was about to speak in his defense when a soft laugh reached everyone's ears, followed by a cool and pleasant voice:
“If you can afford the payment, I don’t mind helping you to wipe out the invading Zerg.”
See you tomorrow~
