Chapter 139 A Shattered Homeland
Chapter 139 A Shattered Homeland
"My God, that's actually our Wang Xing?"
"What kind of attack did our homeland suffer to become what it is today?!"
"Look, it's a detector, and the metal wreckage of the first line of defense!"
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Wang Xing's appearance gradually came into view.
It looked so dilapidated.
The blue military shield that once covered the entire planet is now reduced to the wreckage of probes located in seventy-two different positions.
Only two or three are still diligently operating, emitting blue light from their diamond-shaped shells, connecting with several other protective shield terminals to form a single-sided protection that is no longer of much use.
More often, there are scattered fragments that have been destroyed and are drifting aimlessly, as well as all the inventions that the Zerg were once proud of, such as their satellites and spacecraft.
Even if those are outdated old things that have long been obsolete.
But it contains the painstaking efforts of countless Zerg, day and night, and is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of countless Zerg.
And now, everything has vanished.
The culprit behind all this is Gatana.
"I can't believe this is Wang Xing. It was perfectly fine before I left," Lia said, looking at the panoramic view that had now turned into a see-through window.
"Gatana did a good job." Andor didn't care about Wang Xing anymore.
He was different from Alex and other Zerg who were more attached to their homeland.
He had no interest in Wang Xing or anything like that.
Now all we need to do is get the starship through the atmosphere and land safely, then we can get Cecilia's body.
"Other starship commanders reported the situation to me."
After passing through the wormhole, Andor began issuing orders to the other two starships.
"Commander, the starship is running low on energy and its propulsion system is damaged," said the head of Fleet A.
The B Fleet commander then reported, "Commander, the starship still has some fuel and is expected to land through the atmosphere, but the navigation system has malfunctioned and the landing point cannot be predicted."
After listening, Andor felt it was necessary to make a decision. "Queen, which starship do you think would be better for landing?"
After receiving the information, Shen Qingqing assessed the condition of each starship. "Didn't the assistant officer already have a conclusion in mind?"
Yes, one is a starship with insufficient power, and it's still unknown whether it can open its protective shield to avoid being burned by the intense heat when passing through the atmosphere; the other is a vehicle that can safely pass through the atmosphere, but whose destination is unknown.
Andor already had a better option in mind when it came to choosing a starship.
However, by asking the insect queen to make a decision, he was also expressing his own stance.
"Yes, Queen Insect."
Andorra was preparing to send orders to the other fleets when he heard the voice of the person in charge of Fleet B.
"Commander... has he already...?"
"He is dead."
Andor calmly stated, "The Zerg's supreme commander, Alex, died in the spacetime rift, and his remains have not been recovered."
"But what if he's still alive?" the B Fleet leader said, unwilling to give up. "What if he could travel through other spacetime rifts?"
“It’s not impossible,” Andorra concluded after researching the data.
Just when the person in charge thought there was still a chance for things to turn around, Andor shattered his illusions with his own hands, "But have you ever seen someone fall into a time rift and come back alive?"
Never.
None of the events recorded in historical materials concerning time-space rifts have documented the fate of the victims.
Their lives were abruptly ended with just a few words.
Historical records comment on their fate as follows: "None of them survived."
“I can understand your eagerness to have Alex return to command, and I can appreciate your loyalty to the commander. However, we don’t know whether you will be crushed into pieces by the high pressure after entering the spacetime rift, or fall into the spacetime of other dimensions. So don’t have any hope for this.”
Andor gave him the most reasonable explanation: "I am Andor, the assistant to the Queen. The Queen will make the decision to include all the Zerg in Fleet B and prepare for a hard landing."
Three starships remained stationary in outer space around the planet, awaiting the transfer of supplies and personnel by the other two starships.
While taking inventory, Andorra discovered a strange phenomenon.
During the previous fight between Alex and Klein, Klein was only ambushed and fell into a brief sleep.
Moreover, based on the cryogenic chamber's hibernation time, it should have already started to break hibernation long ago, and should not still be in a hibernation state.
"What's wrong with Andorra?" Shen Qingqing asked, seeing that he hadn't come out of the warehouse. She thought something had happened.
"This is... Klein?! What's he doing here?"
Andor didn't hide anything; there was no point in hiding anything now, so he told her everything, including what Alex had done.
"But the data above shows that his physical indicators are all normal."
“That’s exactly what I’m wondering about,” Andor thought, not ruling out the possibility that the degeneration drug previously administered by the Wolf Clan might have caused it, “or it might be related to a drug that was secretly administered on the starship before.”
The reagent that can cause the Zerg to degenerate into true Zerg.
Moreover, Shen Qingqing also noticed that Klein's body surface already had the same white flocculent substance as Michelle's.
"I haven't seen Michelle and Nordlin since. Are they...?"
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Even if all the insectoids are wiped out, Michel will be fine," Andor said, using a somewhat inappropriate analogy. "His escape skills are top-notch; he is unlikely to be in danger."
Of course, except this time.
"As for Nordlin, that's even easier to explain."
Andor downloaded Nordlin's balance sheet onto his personal computer. "Nine times out of ten, he's gone to hide from his creditors."
He certainly knew what Nordlin had been doing that day, sneaking around like a ghost.
As he followed behind Nordlin, he startled the burly man, who only breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing the man.
He left behind the words, "Let Lord Gatana give me an advance on my salary," and then disappeared without a trace.
“So, Queen, you don’t need to worry too much about the two of them,” Andor activated the cryo-chamber’s privacy mode, and Klein’s body gradually blurred out of the transparent space glass. “This is more conducive to protecting the Commander-in-Chief’s personal information.”
They also had the cryogenic chambers moved on, and then they used a sterile, sealed passageway to establish a temporary route with the B-star ship to send all the supplies into the warehouse.
As she drew closer to Wang Xing, Shen Qingqing clearly sensed that Cecilia in her consciousness desperately wanted to take control of her body.
"I felt it, that familiar aura."
Cecilia said to her.
