Walk alone in the abyss

"Shame!"

On the way back to the lord's mansion after leaving the barracks, Yang Ming leaned in his chair and looked up to the sky with a long sigh.

Daphne on the side covered her mouth and chuckled.

Daphne, who had just witnessed the whole process of Yang Ming and his private army commanders "killing red eyes", comforted:

"A few of your subordinates have very good minds. Even if they are placed in the regular army of the empire, they will be the talents of generals who are focused on training. It is not wrong for you to lose to them.

"What's more, they also limit your strengths - you can't jump gangs to fight."

Yang Ming complained: "Are you comforting me or hurting me?"

"Of course it's consolation," Daphne kept laughing.

"Okay, comfort," Yang Ming leaned back on the chair, slowly closing his eyes, "There won't be any necessary activities in the future, I'll stay here for half a month with peace of mind."

Daphne asked: "Didn't the super reformer organization send an invitation letter, wanting you to go over and train the super reformers?"

"That's not in a hurry," Yang Ming said slowly, "The experience of killing insects that I can pass on to them is backed up in the database of the empire. This is the vacation you managed to get for me. I should cherish it no matter what. ,right?"

Daphne squinted her eyes and smiled, with a bit of tenderness in her eyes that couldn't go away.

Yang Ming and her looked at each other for a few seconds, then took out his own network access terminal, opened the special application installed by the military department, and a simple map of the empire's territory appeared in front of the two of them.

The so-called Territory Map itself omits 99.9% of the naturally existing stars, and only specifically marks the administrative stars.

Yang Ming began to study the military layout of the empire to deal with the insect swarm.

Daphne said softly, "Didn't you say you want to rest?"

"I'm still not at ease," Yang Ming sighed softly, "The empire is the place where my mother planet will live in the future, and I don't want to see any problems with the empire."

"Except for this?" Daphne asked, "Do you have no feelings for the Empire?"

"Do I need to have feelings for the Empire?"

"Of course, it's not a must," Daphne smiled, leaning on the soft seat with her eyes closed and resting her mind, not looking at the information she didn't have permission to read.

A few thoughts kept swirling in Yang Ming's mind.

In other words, there are three things he has been thinking about, so that his mind can never be completely at peace:

Is Li going to attack him, and in what way will he attack him, what exactly is he going to do;

When will "Faya's Game" start?

How large will the bug swarm be this time? Will the queen target the Faya people's 'Valkyrie Project', that is, he and the Valkyrie whirling together.

‘We should think of a way so that Po Sua can act with me openly. '

Yang Ming kept thinking.

He has already prepared enough biological shielding devices on the Dongfeng, and the twelve ghost mechas that have been prepared are also equipped with shielding devices.

Nothing else, just a pity.

After half a month of peace on Saka, Yang Ming rushed to the super-reformer main base, and Daphne also returned to the tour to encourage the public.

During the past half month, they were like a couple in love, getting tired of being together all the time.

But they didn't have any interaction between the sexes, at most, Yang Ming was hugged and relied on while sleeping, and in front of outsiders, Yang Ming hugged Daphne's waist and kissed her cheek.

that's enough.

They both got what they wanted in the relationship.

However, after the two parted, sitting in the ship going their separate ways, they would still look up at the porthole.

"Law, am I being a little cruel to Daphne?"

"Boss, she's very ambitious."

"Well," Yang Ming sighed lightly and shook his head, put aside these distracting thoughts, and began to contact his real girlfriend, Mimi Li.

The super-reformers are all his people, so it won't be a problem if Mimi Li comes to accompany him.

...

Countdown to bug infestation: 105 standard galactic days.

On the surface of the planet where the overhauler training base is located, on the top floor of a hotel.

Yang Ming was lying on the water in big underpants, next to Mimily who was wearing a bathrobe and showing a perfect figure.

She drank some wine, her expression was a little confused, she kept pinching some fruits and handing them to Yang Ming's mouth, and from time to time she would take the initiative to come up to him, kiss Yang Ming's forehead and cheeks, and then help Yang Ming rub his forehead.

Yang Ming had a headache.

A headache in the physical sense.

It seems that the instinct of the life form of the ancient gods is at work.

Now as long as he closes his eyes, he can always see the starry sky. When he looks around, he can always see pairs of cold eyes.

Bugs, endless bugs, gathered in all directions and corners.

He already felt some kind of mortal threat.

"Made!"

Yang Ming burst into a foul language: "Believe it or not, I rushed over and chopped them down!"

Mimi Li on the side smiled and rubbed Yang Ming's head: "Lü said that Po Huan also had a similar phenomenon, and she was very disturbed. She stopped playing games and watching movies, and offered to let Li prepare enough for her. weaponry."

"Let the law send the shielding device over earlier."

"The new production line is already in operation, and the enhanced shielding device will arrive in three days."

Yang Ming groaned: "I will be tortured for three more days, if not, let's go back to Dongfeng."

"No, uncle, you still have a few classes to attend, but we have to agree to those super reformers."

Mimi Li dived into the water, like a mermaid, circling around Yang Ming, her long wet hair draped over her fair and smooth skin, and the charming fragrance penetrated into the tip of Yang Ming's nose.

"I'm here to help you ease the pain."

She whispered into Yang Ming's ear, then exhaled lightly her fragrant breath, and dragged Yang Ming into the water.

The prying light rose by the swimming pool, and the eight combat maid robots farther away turned their heads by themselves, their expressions very calm.

...

Countdown to Bug Swarm: 96 Standard Galactic Days.

The first star of the Luofeng Alliance, in the palace of Ilanduo Star.

Emilia, who was wearing a nightgown, sat cross-legged in an office chair, wearing protective glasses, and looked at the thin reports in front of her.

It's just a military report of a few thousand words, and she has been reading it for half an hour.

"Miss Guina?"

Emilia suddenly raised her head and asked.

Gui Na, who was dressed in an elegant evening dress, immediately stepped forward and responded, "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

"Can we stop it?"

Emilia asked:

"What I mean is, can we hold off the bug swarm just by relying on our current military strength at Luofeng?

"The data I've seen in this report does give some concern."

Miss Gui Na showed a faint smile: "If you only rely on the military strength of the Luofeng Alliance on the surface, you should pay some price and lose some marginal administrative stars."

Emilia sighed: "So, the question now is, should we take the risk of exposing the dark star and protect all the administrative stars, or use our current strength to fight against the Zerg and sacrifice a few administrative stars."

"You can say that."

Gui Na said slowly:

"However, this is just a simple and general situation, and the real situation is much more complicated.

"First, we can roughly rule out the possibility of direct communication between the Zerg and the human world. As long as we avoid the sight of humans, we can use our real fleet unscrupulously.

"Second, the main attack route of the Zerg in this direction is the Sherman Empire. According to the trend of the gathering and movement of the Zerg swarms, they want to go from the northern and eastern regions of the Sherman Empire. We just avoided the big stock bugs here. group.

"However, no one can guarantee this. The Zerg may also use some strategies to deploy troops. They are very cunning and very smart.

"Third, there is a high probability that the Zerg will not target the planet where the mechanical lifeforms are located. Therefore, even if Luofeng's losses are greater, if our boss doesn't want to make himself lose money, he doesn't have to support humans."

Emilia pursed her lips slightly: "Then, will bounty hunters help humans?"

"From the current point of view, it will be possible," Gui Na squinted and smiled, "The principle given to us by the boss is to temporarily put aside the hostility between the empire and protect the Luofeng Alliance without exposing ourselves."

Emilia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, my stress has been reduced by half in an instant."

Gui Na turned her head and looked outside the door: "That His Majesty is calling me, I'm sorry, Your Highness."

"Ah, wait!"

Emilia suddenly remembered something, got up and ran barefoot to a side cabinet, and took a pocket memory card.

"Give this to the bounty hunter for me, there's a video inside."

"Okay," Gui Na smiled, "I will definitely deliver it for you... Can you satisfy my curiosity? What's in it?"

"His birthday greeting video," Emilia shrugged, "He celebrated my birthday, so I naturally wanted to send him some blessings, and today is it."

Gui Na smiled and nodded.

She did not remind of the cruel fact that most of the information left by her boss in Luofeng was false.

"You have a heart."

"Go ahead, don't let that omnic wait too long," Emilia curled her lips slightly, "Fortunately, he was directly controlled by you when he first came, otherwise I'm really afraid that I can't help but go up and chop him down."

"Don't worry," Gui Na said softly, "An omnic of this level won't make any waves in front of us."

...

Countdown to Bug Swarm: 68 Standard Galactic Days.

The command center of the military's "Insect Swarm Response" - a super aircraft carrier with a length of 5,000 meters.

On the bridge position, on the command podium of this super aircraft carrier, Yang Ming was wearing a dark green imperial military uniform, holding a lightsaber in his hand, constantly posing in some slashing gestures.

In front of him, the projector released a sixth-order adult and a fifth-order adult.

About half a month ago, their committee temporarily passed a proposal to issue a batch of temporary strengthening injections to the fleets of the Imperial Army.

These diluted injections can barely be used by adult soldiers with strong physical fitness, and they can temporarily gain a fighting power comparable to half of Gries.

Soldiers' training programs usually only include various firearms and ship subjects. Some time ago, lightsaber courses and cold weapon close combat subjects have been added.

Now, every large ship in the empire is newly equipped with 300 lightsabers, and each lightsaber has two dilution and strengthening injections tied to the hilt.

This is for emergency use, and it is also the last counterattack method for the soldiers in the ship when they come into close contact with the swarm and the swarm breaks into the ship.

Yang Ming was not optimistic about this method.

But when the military department requested to set up a live broadcast class for all the soldiers to explain how to cut and kill insects, Yang Ming did not refuse, and appeared here happily to tell everyone about the weaknesses of insects.

"The number one weakness is their foot joints.

"When the Zergs enter the ship, they will also be affected by the simulated gravity. If their limbs are destroyed, their mobility will be limited, and they will even actively choose to exit the ship and go to space for remote combat .

"I believe that everyone has read enough learning materials about the swarm in the past year.

"But I still want to remind everyone, don't give up the long-range weapons in your hands until the critical moment. In terms of close combat, we humans are indeed far inferior to the Zerg..."

On the other end of the live broadcast, Yang Mingyu urged earnestly.

On the other side of the live broadcast, in the bridges and lounges of imperial warships, the eyes of those imperial soldiers who were sitting upright were shining with incomparable eagerness.

In the star field led by the directional orbit near the Saka star, in the T32 battle group of the local defense force that gathered more than 600 warships, the group of young people from Yang Ming's private army were in high spirits at the moment.

These words, their lord has already spoken to them.

That is still on the surface of the planet, not in this vast and boundless cosmic space.

Standing in front of the porthole with his hands behind his back, Peterson couldn't help raising his eyebrows as he watched the messages that popped up in the captain's commander's dedicated group chat.

On his chest, a special badge is particularly eye-catching.

It was a silver-white skull, with raging flames burning around the skull, and those hollow eyes that shone with faint light, seemed to be black holes in place that would not evaporate.

...

Countdown to bug infestation: 36 standard galactic days.

A planet on the edge of the empire.

Amidst the slight noise, Catherine stood in front of a railing and looked up at the dozens of gates that were slowly closing above.

They have entered the independently run 'rebel only' shelter.

The ventilation system began to work at full capacity, and the warm air blowing from the side brushed Catherine's hair.

Several men and women appeared behind.

"Boss, the shielding devices have been activated, and there is a high probability that this place is safe."

"The United States of Freedom is really awesome. It gave us so much equipment for nothing. However, they also want us to consume the resources of the empire. They are not very grateful to them."

Someone said: "I don't think it was given to us by the United States of Freedom, but by the benefactor behind our boss."

"The United States of Freedom just broke out a scandal last week. There are more than 20 extremely poor administrative stars. The quality of the shelters they built is questionable, and the number of shielding devices they are equipped with is not enough. They directly abandon billions of people. They Without adequate equipment, how could it be given to us for free?"

"Didn't the United States of Freedom sell shielding devices for half of the galaxy?"

"That's a normal business practice. They gave their own country's military a 40% discount on the purchase price, which has already made the New Federation and the Güell Union very dissatisfied."

"But fortunately, the United States of Freedom will not face the swarm in the first round, right? From the perspective of the attack direction of the insects, the United States of Freedom and the Guell Alliance are both outside the deep offensive, and there are thick human civilizations on the periphery Territory as a barrier."

"The new federation is really miserable. They have new and old grudges with the bugs, and half of the bug swarms are targeting the new federation."

"Fighting against the swarm is different from fighting against the empire. The new federation's planetary defense system is number one in the galaxy."

"The empire is facing two swarms of bug swarms."

A girl asked in a low voice: "As Super-Changers, don't we need to fight?"

The few people who were chatting fell silent for a moment.

Catherine lowered her head and sighed, her gloved right hand gently scratched forward, as if trying to catch some fine dust.

"No need, the empire has no place for us for the time being, and we don't have enough ships to go out."

The emotions of several people have obviously become much lower.

Dang, Dang sounds came one after another, and the dozens of gates closed simultaneously.

Catherine said suddenly: "If a swarm of bugs arrives on this planet, we can't just sit and wait to die."

"yes!"

...

Countdown to bug infestation: 19 standard galactic days.

Emperor Star, the Imperial Palace Module, the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

Hasty and chaotic footsteps sounded outside the hall, and a large number of elders, nobles, and ministers from various departments rushed into the hall.

The old emperor also had a dignified expression. He floated in from the back door in a suspension seat and sat down on the high platform.

"Tell me, what's the emergency?"

The first fast-talking elder of the elders' house immediately reported:

"Your Majesty! Zerg scouts have appeared on the border! There are about a hundred thousand high-level adult insects that can only be three-dimensionally invisible, entered the star field of the empire, and scattered in all directions! They should spy on our military deployment and carry out their tasks. Tactical arrangement!"

"Hundreds of thousands of scouts?" The old emperor frowned tightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the mechanism by which the bug swarm can make a leap is that individual bug swarms are combined into battleships, and they combine to form hundreds of small battleships, breaking into our border!"

The old emperor looked at the two supreme commanders of the military department.

"Your Majesty, our mobile fleet has begun to intercept in all directions. At present, the news that just came in the last second has already stopped one-third of the Zerg warships! Eighty percent of the opponent's warships have been marked. !"

"They are looking for our fleet, Your Majesty!"

The emperor frowned and covered his forehead: "Is Emperor Wei 2.0 ready?"

"It's ready, and you can intervene in the empire's unification network at any time."

"Well, don't be in a hurry," said the old emperor, "We still have to believe in the Emperor Guard system that has led the empire through tens of thousands of years. As a supplement, Emperor Guard 2.0 can give us a lot of peace of mind... My knight grows in where?"

"Your Majesty, what Knight Commander Handon means is that he may also be the target of the Great Queen, so he cannot come to the Emperor Star to escort him, and he cannot stay in the command center. He has already rushed to the frontline troops."

"Is he the target?"

The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Say my will, say that the empire needs him as a hero to stand up, as long as he can repel the big queen, the empire will give him all the honor."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The old emperor exhaled lightly. He, who was not able to resist pressure very well, had already felt the tremendous pressure from the powerful alien life form.

"These damn bugs!"

The emperor spoke foul language.
