The third planet.
five minutes ago.
Underground insect cave.
Sha Lizi left Lu Chen and his group in the insect nest.
As the light blue defensive formation dissipated, soft-bodied cockroaches larger than humans swarmed into the air, densely covering the six sides of the glass.
These cockroaches... may be close relatives of the cockroaches in southern China where Lu Chen lived in his previous life, and they can fly.
It started spraying blue insect juice again, trying to corrode the glass.
Fortunately, even without the defensive formation, this special glass is extremely corrosion-resistant, and it is not a big problem to carry it for more than ten minutes.
It's just that the sight of these densely packed mouthparts makes one's scalp numb.
Ai Li closed her eyes and kneaded the secrets, and was trying hard to use her animal control skills to get rid of the cockroaches outside the glass.
Unfortunately, these cockroaches are almost intelligent species, and it is difficult for beast control to work on them.
But at least it would make Ellie close her eyes.
Out of sight is pure.
Gloria thought about it for a long time, but she was still a little confused and didn't understand Lu Chen's tactics.
"Are you a fool? Why do you want to tell this big-faced woman the right way to do it?"
Lu Chen was also a little surprised by Sha Lizi's decisiveness.
"If bad people don't do bad things, then I have to join them. If I do bad things, how can I be worthy of my Federal Medal of Freedom?"
Gloria tilted her head and didn't understand for a long time.
Ellie closed her eyes and tried to explain:
"What the captain means is that he doesn't steal anything from his friends."
Gloria was thoughtful and suddenly realized.
"So, first turn your friends into enemies?"
Lu Chen was somewhat speechless.
Am I so mean in your hearts?
He quickly explained:
"I'm just kidding, this insect girl has been staring at me for a long time, saying she wants me to be her husband, but her eyes are always calculating my combat power, unlike the way you look at me...it's all love. "
"I love being a dick!"
You should have some facial expressions, Gloria's thin eyebrows twitched slightly.
Lu Chen was slightly startled and pretended not to hear clearly.
"What did you say?"
"I love your size, idiot, what ears!"
"I heard the rest clearly, but I didn't catch the first three words."
"I love...get out!"
When did you stop flirting?
Gloria pulled out Lu Chen's Demon-Slaying Sword and raised her hand to split the closed glass cabin.
Lu Chen grabbed her wrist with one hand and stopped her.
"What did you do? Break the glass cabin. Aren't we going to fall into a pile of insects? Let's not talk about safety issues. Are you just saying it's disgusting?"
Gloria thought for a moment, and realized that her whole body was covered with cockroaches. The insect juice splashed when she struck with the sword, causing her clothes and skin to be corroded...
My whole body trembled.
"What should we do?"
"If this little problem can't be solved, can I still be your captain?"
Lu Chen let go of Gloria and placed his palm against the inner wall of the glass.
Perceive the detailed distribution and control methods of the spiritual patterns.
"Well... the design is quite complicated. Most people may be fooled, but for me, it's child's play."
He immediately used the power of resonance and easily opened twelve of the locked nodes without destroying the control spirit pattern.
Soon, the previous control method was quickly restored.
Lu Chen's palm shook violently, instantly shaking away the cockroaches climbing outside without damaging the structure of the glass itself.
Then he lit up the defensive array and turned on the windshield wiper-like glass cleaner to restore the glass cabin to its previous cleanliness and transparency.
The glass cabin slowly took off.
Lu Chen opened the hatch.
"We jumped on the roof of the cabin. The space in the glass cabin is used to hold a few bugs. Well... we can probably only hold three."
Gloria hissed slightly.
"If we go out rashly like this, will these insects attack us?"
"Don't worry, they're smarter than you."
Just like that, the three people left the glass cabin and jumped onto the roof.
The insects below all looked up and watched, but did not fly up with them.
Gloria asked curiously:
"Strange, why don't these bugs attack us?"
Ellie explained:
"Without female control, they only behave with the most basic instincts of eating and reproducing. Their food is much better than humans, and they are not lewd towards human women. Why would they risk attacking us? I was just out of curiosity when I climbed the glass before. .”
Gloria nodded slightly, vaguely understanding.
"If you don't treat human women lustfully, wouldn't you be more serious than Captain Lu... and don't engage in cross-species love?"
Lu Chen:
"..."
Gloria thought for a while and then asked with a puzzled look:
"Since these bugs are intelligent and gentle, do not attack us, and have even been enslaved by humans, how can you, a recipient of the Federal Medal of Freedom and a moral model in the galaxy, have the nerve to capture them to refine medicine... Do you still have a conscience? "
Lu Chen's tone was choked, and after thinking about it, it was right. Although this was beyond the scope of morality, he still felt that it was conscientious.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
He also needs the out-of-control beast's nest to cover his retreat.
"That's right. Since they are intelligent species, insect life is also very valuable. I will release all the bugs and give them freedom. The price is that I have to take away three bugs, one to refine the medicine, and the other two to be raised by Mrs. August. , save it for refining medicine later."
Gloria and Ai Li trembled when they heard this.
What kind of devil is this!
"Ellie, try to establish spiritual communication with them and see if you can let them choose three sacrifices. If they refuse, no matter how disgusting it is, I will do it myself."
"Well, I'll try."
Ellie put on the spirit amplifier and tried to establish some kind of spiritual connection with the software cockroaches.
Soon, the cockroaches scrambled to take off and fly into the glass cabin.
A total of four people were squeezed in, and the fifth one was stuck halfway and was still trying to squeeze in...
Lu Chen was quite shocked when he saw it, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Ellie, are you sure you made it clear? The bugs in the glass cabin are sacrifices, and only the other bugs can be freed."
Ai Li nodded, convinced:
"They are very close to intelligent species. They communicate very smoothly with their spiritual thoughts. There should be no misunderstanding."
"What a great collectivist spirit. No wonder even humans can't completely exterminate them."
Thinking like this, Lu Chen quickly shouted to the insects:
"Okay, okay, I'm not a devil. Just three. Thank you for your efforts. I will take the rest of the bugs out of this nest. The rest can only be done by yourself. Or maybe you will join the entire army. If you are annihilated, you may be captured."
With that said, Lu Chen left only three bugs behind and closed the glass hatch.
"Don't worry, a few of us will leave the worm cave first and remove the high-temperature formation outside the worm cave, and then you can follow."
Just like that, Lu Chen controlled the glass cabin to take off and quickly flew out of the mouth of the bowl-shaped insect cave.
In the space flush with the mouth of the bowl, there is a layer of laser formation specifically aimed at the Zerg, which makes even humans feel uncomfortable when passing through.
Lu Chen and the other three stood outside the glass cabin. Even though they had already transported their body protection in advance, they instantly felt the high temperature.
He was dehydrated rapidly and almost all his body fluids were burned away.
Gloria took out three bottles of wine from her storage bag and drank one each before she recovered.
Later, Lu Chen found the manual control switch.
This is an emergency control device enclosed within a wall.
Lu Chen used the power of resonance and the details of the internal spiritual pattern to directly unlock it violently and quickly gained control of the worm cave.
Shut down the core neural server.
Turn off the high temperature array.
Then he connected to the burrow LAN through the internal spirit pattern, and established a resonance bridge with the little bee drone outside the burrow. He quickly hacked into the entire burrow control system, took control of the entire burrow, and then hacked into the eldest prince who remotely controlled the burrow. Palace.
Of course, Lu Chen only hacked into the mechanical spirit pattern system, including the monitoring, conference and part of the communication system, and was unable to control the insect army on the third planet.
Everything was done, Lu Chen waved his hand.
The main gate of the insect cave opened immediately.
"Let's go, we are invincible in front of us!"
Lu Chen and three others flew in the glass cabin and led the way.
The underground hatches at each level are automatically opened, allowing full access.
Followed by a dense swarm of insects.
A sea of black clouds covered the sky and the earth, making a rustling, sticky sound of joy.
Gloria felt that everything went too smoothly.
"You just tinkered with it so casually that you didn't even use the hacker system and took over the underground control system?"
This time, even Ai Li didn't understand Lu Chen's operation.
Lu Chen looked confident and explained without hesitation:
“Even the Mori Valley star system located in the federal star field has a large number of control and monitoring mechanical spirit pattern systems.
My little bee drone was already working when we first came in.
Now, in the surveillance camera of the First Prince Schalke's office, we are still fighting bugs in the bug cave, and the alarm will not be triggered at all.
At least no one knew we left the cave and released the swarm of insects until we walked out of the cave. "
The only pity is that he can't control the star bug ship.
Even if you leave the cave, there will probably still be a fierce battle.
In addition to the hatches in the cave, there are also a small number of defenders and technicians.
When Lu Chen and the three passed by, he didn't bother to care about them at all.
The insect nest behind them rolled over them without attacking them, and just ran over them.
Until Lu Chen saw the online meeting hosted by Sha Lizi through the Little Bee drone.
Good guy, these beasts actually voted to let them fend for themselves in the insect nest!
Isn't this tantamount to murder and silencing?
"Since Shalizi has plans to kill us, we don't have to be polite. However, the defenders on each planet are still very strong, and there are uncontrollable insect tides and star insect ships. We must leave the Moriya star system within an hour. .”
Lu Chen no longer thinks of himself as a gentleman.
He directly connected to the surveillance camera in the cave and transmitted his image to the large conference screen.
"Your death knell is tolled by yourselves."
However, the image of releasing the insect nest was not sent out, and Lu Chen prepared to catch them off guard.
There was silence in the conference room.
The air seemed to freeze.
Everyone looked up and stared at the big screen, and could hear each other's breathing through the screen.
According to the empire's design standards, if you want to force your way out of such a cave, you must be at least a level 100 expert!
"The spiritual pressure radar cannot be wrong. The strongest among the three of them is only level 58. How did he get there?"
"I should have known that the fortifications designed by the empire were unreliable!"
"My father is not here, what should I do now?"
"Shalizi, you must take full responsibility for this matter!"
After a brief moment of panic, Shalizi quickly regained her composure.
"Don't panic, Captain Lu is a genius hacker, not really strong. Our insect ship fleet will not be affected. This is the reason why the revolution of all races was successful a thousand years ago... What's more, their spaceship is still there Outside the atmosphere, surrounded by our fleet, they can’t escape!”
After saying this, everyone's mood quickly stabilized.
On the big screen, Sha Lizi faced the road dust.
"It's really breathtaking, Captain Lu, I said that as long as you have the ability to come out, you can catch as many bugs as you want.
Now, you come out and get three bugs.
As long as you can keep it secret for us, I will not hold you responsible. Now, you can leave here. "
On the big screen, Lu Chen smiled and shook his head.
"Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
For some reason, Shalizi felt like she was being tricked.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming to the Moritani star system!"
Lu Chen shrugged.
"Didn't I say that I just want a bug? You think too much, Shalizi."
Shalizi was indeed smart but was misled by her cleverness, but she didn't think her caution was wrong. She just underestimated Lu Chen's hidden power.
"Now that you've got the bug, what else do you want?"
"It's easy to ask God to give him away, but it's hard to give him away. You have ignited my greed with your own hands, and you want me to leave without any blood?"
After that, Lu Chen turned off the camera.
Open the crypt entrance door.
A sword energy struck out.
The gods will kill the gods, the Buddha will kill the Buddha, and a giant insect that has just been mobilized for defense at the entrance will be cut open instantly.
Black insect juice rose into the sky, and it rained down.
Lu Chen and the others felt disgusted and did not rush out immediately.
Instead, he hid behind the door and let the insect swarm behind kill him.
The darkness covered them all and they rushed out, instantly swallowing up the defenders outside the door.
In fact, the strength of the defenders outside the gate cannot be underestimated. There are three insect warriors above level 50 alone.
Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers remained.
There are more than a dozen level 50 star insect ships in the sky.
Outside the atmosphere, there are several fleets led by level 60 star insect ships.
However, all the armies were caught off guard by the Cockroach Nest, and were scattered to pieces, losing their defensive formations.
Their tactics only targeted Lu Chen and the three of them, and they had no plan to deal with the insect nest.
Ten thousand cockroaches above level 30 flew out in dense numbers.
Lu Chen and three others followed the insect wave and took advantage of the chaos to kill them.
Under the cover of Gloria's random killing, Lu Chen and Ai Li took the glass cabin to hide invisibly.
There was a melee at the entrance.
Air raid sirens blared.
Lu Chen felt that these cockroaches were quite fierce.
If in the future I have a big storage bag that can store bugs and servers, wouldn't it be invincible to carry an entire bug nest with me?
However, it is still far away from now, and there are many technical problems that cannot be solved.
Schalke and his entourage in the palace.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Shalizi and the eldest prince Schalke hid in an underground bunker.
In the underground bunker, Sha Lizi used the ultrasonic bugs used in emergencies to contact the star bug ship and command the defenders and fleets of the third planet.
"Ignore the insect swarm and the three people on the ground for now, try to cut off their retreat and destroy the Leonin!"
Shalizi's tactics were correct.
The mistake is that the risk is a bit high.
Schalke quickly stopped him and said:
"You are stupid. We destroyed the Leonin and they had no way to retreat, so they jumped over the wall and took us both hostage...
They can even escape from the underground insect cave, but this underground bunker may not be safe.
My fourth brother has always coveted my position as heir apparent, and he is jealous of your ability. He may use the excuse of annihilating the enemy to kill our relatives directly, so that we and the enemy will perish together! "
Shalizi felt her head buzzing.
Although her brother was greedy for life and afraid of death, he had to say that he was right this time. It was because Lu Chen disrupted her rhythm that she focused entirely on this man and did not take into account internal affairs.
So, Shalizi immediately changed the order:
"Attention, all fleets of the third planet, don't destroy the Leonin yet, give priority to protecting ground facilities, and wait for the enemy to board the ship and escape the atmosphere before pursuing it!"
"Also, don't kill these bugs indiscriminately. Take out the spare neural network server and try to control the insect nest."
"The enemy's purpose is still unclear. The main fleets of the first and second planets do not need to come to support. They must ensure the safety of their respective planets."
Lu Chen cannot decipher these ultrasonic biosignals.
Ellie also needs time.
Seeing that the fleet's attack on the three men weakened and did not attack the Leonin outside the atmosphere, he vaguely understood Shalizi's considerations.
"It seems that they are also afraid that I will force them to kill me."
Lu Chen immediately controlled the Ghost Rider armor, jumped out of the spaceship outside the atmosphere, and reached low altitude.
A laser cannon, followed by several missiles, directly destroyed the eldest prince's magnificent palace.
Afterwards, Lu Chen and the other three took the glass cabin and met the Ghost Rider in the air under the cover of insect waves and artillery fire.
The nearby insect ship fleet tried its best to avoid fighting with it, and was doing its best to control the insect tide riot.
Lu Chen drove the Ghost Rider and overlooked the battlefield.
I feel a little itchy in my hands, wanting to chop melons and vegetables on the battlefield, wanting to sound the death knell of Shalizi.
Shalizi was relatively calm.
She immediately mobilized her troops and had several level 60 and a dozen level 50 star bug ships aim their guns at the Leonin and the Ghost Rider.
When Schalke saw the situation reversed, he suddenly had the idea of solving Lu Chen here.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and did not speak, but gave Shalizi a suggestive look.
Shalizi stared at the surrounded Ghost Rider, looked at the overlooking figure, and shook her head.
"I know what you want to say. If this group of people still had the same cultivation, spaceships and armor as they did in the Zuan Nebula, I would have already ordered the fire."
Immediately, she shouted into the air with a trumpet bug:
"Lu Chen, you win.
Take away the insects, release the insect tide, and destroy the prince's palace. You have single-handedly trampled on the dignity of the Balkh family. You can leave with the glory of an adventurer.
You are a smart man, and since all you want are bugs, this is not your battlefield.
It's not good for anyone if the fish is dead or the net is broken. "
Lu Chen roughly calculated the combat power at the scene.
Shalizi gave in, and there was no warning in the hedging guide, indicating that she had not touched Shalizi's core interests, a certain laboratory she mentioned.
Therefore, these fleets have no determination to fight to the death.
Perhaps, he could enter stealth mode, dig an underground bunker in the ruins, and kill Shalizi by force.
But in this case, the Leonin would be in danger.
Time is limited right now, so let’s focus on how to collect loot.
"That's all, I'll leave your life here first. If I think of this one day in the future, I will definitely come and take your life. I forgot to tell your fate."
With that said, Lu Chen piloted the Ghost Rider and flew out of the atmosphere in a swaggering manner under the watchful eyes of the Third Planetary Fleet.
Rendezvous with the Leonin and quickly leave the third planet.
At first, there was no pursuit.
But after flying away from the third planet and towards the ninth planet, the Leonin was intercepted and surrounded by a nearby fleet.
The Third Planetary Fleet behind them also pursued them.
They laid a dragnet, but they surrounded them without attacking, and they did not attack rashly.
Lu Chen took a look and saw that there were more than ten level 60 star insect ships alone.
And these are just the nearby fleets.
The defenses of Planet One and Planet Two remain tight.
With his current strength, even if Balkh is not around, he will not be able to activate Wushuang in the Mori Valley star system. He can only make a time difference and try to get as many treasures as possible, so that this experience will not be in vain.
At this time, Sha Lizi's video came from the big screen.
"We won't hurt you, but you have to stay here until father comes back. He wants to see you."
Lu Chen smiled.
He had to admire the courage of this insect girl.
You want to be a queen?
"Shalizi, you are really seeking death. You forced me to destroy your laboratory, right?"
With that said, Lu Chen closed the video call and immediately switched to manual driving mode.
The Leonin instantly entered stealth mode.
Easily broke through the dragnet set by the insect ship fleet.
Shalizi rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she was hallucinating.
"What's going on, where is the Leonin? Has my signal been cut off?"
"Report Princess, it's not a signal problem!"
"L-The Leonin...disappeared!"
"In front of all of us and the fleet, he just disappeared out of thin air!"
Only then did Shalizi panic.
Not only Sha Lizi, but all the fleet captains, all the princes and princesses, the commander-in-chief, and the information officer were all panicked.
The entire Moriya star system is in chaos!
"Damn, Feondi is just a shell, this is the empire's latest stealth ship!"
The information officer speculated.
Shalizi suddenly felt a chill running down her spine, as if a cold wind had penetrated her body, her clothes were soaked with sweat, her mind was buzzing, and her body was numb.
She even regretted poking a hornet's nest like Lu Chen!
With such invisibility and hacking abilities, the Balkh family came here just to find a bug...
This kind of thing is beyond her perspective.
She regained her composure and tried her best to remain calm.
Order now:
"Stop chasing the Leonin. All fleets move to the first and second planets to protect the laboratory!"
However, Lu Chen just talked and forced the opponent to shift defense.
He would not be so stupid as to bring down the Balkh family by himself.
At present, most of the main fleet is concentrated on the first and second planets, as well as the third planet where Shalizi is stationed.
The defenses of the other planets are very lax.
Just a level 50 adventure ship, just because it has a little more stealth capabilities and legendary status, treats the entire fleet of the star system like a dog.
"The whale swallowed the beads so well!"
Lu Chen piloted the Leonin and quietly slipped to the star shipyard of the sixth planet.
When I came here before, there were three level 60 star insect ships stationed on Planet Six, but now there is only one left.
The remaining two ships went to support the first and second planets.
Lu Chen immediately ordered Gloria.
"You get off the ship and go to the underground star shipyard and bring up a neural server, a cube-shaped one."
Gloria was puzzled.
"Why not grab a starbug ship and go?"
Lu Chen explained:
"The star bug ship cannot be controlled automatically. The Xiakou Pass where it came from will definitely be blocked. We may have to find another place to force a breakthrough and leave. Nothing can be hung outside the ship."
"Then why not take the cube from the hive?"
"It simulates female insect pheromones. Its computing power is far inferior to that of the neural server that controls the spacecraft, and its technical difficulty is also lower."
"Is this thing really worth anything?"
"Nonsense, I'll take it if it's not worth it?"
Gloria then jumped off the boat.
As soon as Gloria got off the ship, she was immediately discovered by the Star Defense Forces of the Sixth Planet.
Lu Chen had to reveal the Leonin and fight the only level 60 star insect ship in order to protect Gloria.
As a result, it was very difficult for the Leonin to fight against a level 60 starworm ship.
We can only fight fiercely sometimes, disappear invisible at other times, and try our best to buy time for Gloria.
five minutes later.
Gloria carried a three-meter-wide cube server and came out from another exit.
Meet up with the Leonin, who is hiding at the exit.
Unfortunately, the sixth planet's defense force is extremely strong. Gloria's ability to get a server under fire is already her limit.
Of course, she smashed up almost all the starworm ships in the shipyard along the way.
Lu Chen got the server and walked away again.
Shalizi of the third planet quickly received the news.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, not sure until now:
"He is indeed not here for the laboratory. Attention all fleets, there is no need to pursue the Leonin anymore. Let him go!"
Even if the Leonin releases its stealth mode, the front is still clear.
Gloria felt that she was still not having enough fun.
"Since their laboratory is very important, why don't we grab some of the most experimental products and take them away?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"It's impossible. The security systems of the first and second planets are too strong. We don't have the need or the chance to break in. We can go to Shalizi's ninth planet to search for them. That's almost it."
With that said, Lu Chen drove the Leonin and quickly arrived at Shalizi's ninth planet.
Lu Chen checked the time and saw that there was only the last half hour left, and the fleet of Balhe and the June Flower Adventure Group was about to return.
Shalizi informed Planet Nine in advance that important people and items had been transferred to the underground fortress.
Lu Chen even saw the display on the treasure map.
However, compared with the neural server of the Sixth Planet, these targets are not eye-catching and not very valuable.
In order to save spaceship fuel and his own spiritual power, Lu Chen gave up attacking Sha Lizi's lair and instead blackmailed her.
After all, on the ninth planet, they are all Shalizi's relatives, friends and favorite slaves.
She was a little panicked and contacted Line Chen again.
"I have ordered all fleets to release you, what else do you want?"
Lu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile:
“Originally I only wanted a bug, but now in addition to the bug I also want mental damages!
Immediately ask your people to prepare one hundred thousand spirit stones in cash, or items of equivalent value.
Otherwise, I will bomb your lair, break into the bunker, and kill all your men.
I only give you twenty minutes! "
Shari Zi:
"you--"
After saying that, Lu Chen closed the video call and turned around to drive the spacecraft to the satellite of the eighth planet.
Namely, the picturesque sanatorium satellite where human slave girls are imprisoned.
Taking some time to rescue a human slave might earn him an extra medal.
On the way, Gloria shook her head angrily.
"Idiot, one hundred thousand is too little!"
Lu Chen felt that he could only ask for 100,000 yuan.
"Shalizi is not that kind of stupid woman. She will spend the money wisely as soon as she gets it. She may not have that much cash.
What's more, how much money and materials can those servants have at their disposal in her absence?
If I open it too high and she can't get it out, or it exceeds her psychological upper limit, she will probably order the Ninth Fleet to start a decisive battle with us, and it won't be her who dies anyway.
I don’t have time now, so I’ll open a lower price and the blackmail has a higher probability of success...
It would be great to save people with the remaining time and get a medal or something. "
(End of chapter)
