In the main battleship, Celine couldn't help but gasp and almost burst into tears. She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but she felt better than ever.
"Why are you two here? Where is Mr. Lu?"
After saying that, the girl picked up a nutrition bar and started chewing it.
Viola and Samantha looked at each other. They didn't know the news that the Mecha team had lost contact, but they couldn't help but feel worried after not returning for so long.
"Mr. Lu went on a mission with Will and Dean. He will probably be back soon."
However, when they thought of Lu Li, the two of them instantly gained confidence again.
The same goes for Celine. She nibbled on a slightly sweet nutrition bar to replenish the energy loss caused by long sleep, and looked forward to Lu Li's return to help her adapt to her new power.
"Sir, there is a mecha with a relatively intact structure here."
Dozens of kilometers away, the foursome who were rushing back to the mothership stopped midway.
There was a serious problem with the mecha controlled by Dean. Not only did the intelligent assistance system lose its function, but as time went by, the power also became intermittent. If it suddenly fell from a high altitude, the consequences would be disastrous.
But in front of me, this mecha was relatively well preserved. From the outside, only the hand structure was slightly damaged, and the chest armor protecting the internal compartment had a hole, which was about the size of a fist.
That's right, it was the six idiots who were left behind and killed. Five of the mechas were completely destroyed and all parts were seriously damaged.
In desperation, Lu Li pulled out the crystal that stored data to slightly make up for the loss.
"Sir, the system of this mecha is quite normal. Only the chest armor is seriously damaged."
With that said, Dean got into the cockpit and put on his seat belt to prevent his body from being absorbed by the damaged hole in front of him when flying at high speed.
Just like that, the stagnant team took off again. When leaving, Lu Li did not forget to take the original mecha with him.
Maybe it can still be used after some repair.
Another half hour passed, and Lu Li began to feel glad that he did not find it troublesome and made this decision.
Because Luo Yi told him that all the mecha warriors assigned to the other three squadrons were missing, which was probably a disaster.
"So far, the only good news is that the Zerg's main force on this planet has almost completely disappeared."
After the self-destruction system is activated, it will carry out an indiscriminate attack. The Zerg warriors staying in the crater at that time, regardless of their strength, will definitely die.
Unless he has the physical strength of the Zerg, which is stronger than Lu Li in his full state.
As for the remaining ones, they are all stragglers and can be wiped out by dispatching ground troops.
"Then let me add some good news."
After listening to Lu Li's words, Luo Yi's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he said: "There is news from the reinforcement fleet. They will arrive in nine days. They can provide long-range firepower assistance at any time during the journey."
It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, Will and Dean, who were surviving the disaster, had no intention of agreeing. At this moment, they really wanted to go back to their personal cabins and take a rest.
Of course, before that, it’s best to take a hot shower, drink some red wine, and eat some delicious food instead of nutrition bars or energy bars.
"Then...we can only hope that the Zerg will be unable to organize a second attack in the short term."
Lu Li had mixed emotions after escaping from the death line. He felt like he was being taught how to be a human being by the Zerg.
Perhaps, what was shown just now is just the tip of the iceberg of this strange civilization of the Zerg.
Frankly speaking, Lu Li was a little confused. Although he was in awe of the universe before, he still underestimated it. According to the current progress of exploration, even if a hundred years pass, the goal of returning to Earth will still be out of reach.
"I remember there is a grill in the back kitchen, as well as some frozen fresh meat and seafood. Looking for a place to have a drink? After the war, you have to take a rest."
Seeing that everyone who had returned was not in high spirits, Luo Yi, the big butler, was a little anxious, especially Lu Li. He was not only the ceiling of combat power, but also the spiritual support of everyone. He had to cheer up.
barbecue?
Will's heart moved.
In the past, he wouldn't have bothered to eat these things, but the half-year interstellar voyage and the life of eating energy bars every day made everyone develop the good habit of not being picky about food.
Especially after a disaster, I always want to enjoy it.
"Captain, I won't go."
Apart from Lu Li and the other three, he was the only survivor of the big explosion. He wanted to rest very much, and he also wanted to eat some decent food and give himself a holiday, but being with a few big shots would only be counterproductive.
No way, the gap is too big.
Even if the higher-ups don't mind.
Lu Li said that he could understand this, and he cheered up and said with a smile: "Go and rest first. I will arrange for the logistics staff to send you some delicious food. There is no need to worry about your job and bonus."
Lu Li was never stingy when it came to treating his own people. What's more, the other party only came back alive after a narrow escape, so he should be treated kindly.
While everyone was celebrating having survived the disaster, behind them, on the planet Nemesis 1, a highest-level meeting was taking place.
People don't know that the decisions made here will change the future trends of the entire galaxy.
"Everyone knows what is going to be discussed at this meeting, so I won't waste time making introductions and let's start the discussion directly."
It stands to reason that the higher the class, the more pompous people like to pay attention to. In the conference room, this group of octogenarians are similar. However, the tense situation on the front line makes them have no time to care about these useless things.
A holographic star map appeared in the conference room. It was the Nemesis Galaxy. It was so detailed that even some areas outside the asteroid belt were marked.
"About fifteen hours ago, the Zerg ended their testing and launched an attack on the forward outpost..."
The speaker was extremely old, as if he had just been dug up from a graveyard. He exuded an aura of decay and relied on countless tubes to sustain his life.
"Ahem, Arachnis Zerg? My friend, to be honest, they are not troublesome."
Someone suddenly spoke. Although he was old, his eyes and ears were still good, and he knew that the person presiding over the meeting was an old friend from two thousand years ago.
"Old friend, times have changed. I heard from my descendants that if the Zerg hadn't suddenly appeared, in a few years the forward outpost would have been completely forgotten by the world."
"There are only a few thousand defenders left there, more than half of them are prisoners, and the battleships are also second-generation aircraft."
There was no life in the room. The old people who had survived to this day with the help of ancient technology were whispering, like dead ghosts in the coffin talking.
"Then rearm and take it back immediately. We need the outpost to act as a buffer zone."
An old man’s back was filled with metal tubes, some of which penetrated deep into his blood vessels and some into his bone marrow. He must have been a tough-minded man when he was young, and he kept patting the table.
Unfortunately, the force was too weak and it failed to make any big noise.
"I know." The host coughed twice before regaining his breath. "Before that, we must first determine the composition of the Zerg advance army."
