Chapter 319 Laser Cannon
"Master, more demonic rats and insects have been detected heading this way." The system had been scanning the area for them. That cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Su Siyi's mind, devoid of any emotion, yet it instantly made her nervous. After all, every time the system spoke, it delivered important information at a critical moment, affecting everyone's safety. If any danger was detected, they would be notified immediately.
"How many?" Su Siyi asked immediately. Her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, her eyes filled with anxiety and tension. While controlling the mecha to deal with the demonic rats and insects before her, she eagerly waited for the system's response.
"An estimated 10,000 have arrived," the system announced. The number, delivered in a calm tone, was like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through Su Siyi's heart.
"Ten thousand?" Su Siyi said in surprise. Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, her mouth slightly open, as if she was so overwhelmed by the sheer number that she couldn't say anything else.
"Yes, Master, you'd better prepare to escape. This requires powerful weapons to resolve," the system said. It continued to offer advice in a steady tone, but Su Siyi knew the seriousness of the situation. Ten thousand demonic rats and insects—the mere thought of that scene was enough to make her scalp tingle.
"So many of them, all this size, it's terrifying. Are all the Zerg in this interstellar world so terrifying?" Su Siyi said in surprise. She looked at the dense swarm of Zerg before her, and thought of the ten thousand that were about to arrive. A deep chill welled up in her heart, and at the same time, she felt a deeper awe for the Zerg in this interstellar world.
"According to data analysis, this type of Zerg is the most common species in this galaxy, and they pose a constant threat to human survival," the system said. The system methodically expounded on the objective facts, allowing Su Siyi to more clearly understand the danger and cruelty of the environment they currently inhabited.
"Okay, I get it." Su Siyi understood. This was an interstellar world at war with the Zerg. She bit her lip, quickly thinking about her response, her eyes revealing a hint of determination, knowing that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
"Brother Nangong, we just detected another 10,000 demonic rat bugs approaching. They're too many! Let's run!" Su Siyi immediately said to Nangong Jingming. She eagerly relayed this news to Nangong Jingming through the mecha's internal communication channel, her voice filled with undisguised worry.
"Ten thousand? That's a lot?" Nangong Jingming gasped upon hearing this news. This whole place must be the home base of these demonic rats and insects. Ten thousand is truly an unimaginable number. His brow furrowed, his eyes growing more serious as he debated whether to fight or flee.
At this moment, An Yi watched from a distance as the demonic rats and insects began to swarm in increasing numbers, muttering to himself, "This number must be in the tens of thousands! Oh no! There are too many of them! They definitely won't be able to handle them." He was terribly anxious, knowing that if such a large number of demonic rats and insects came over, the consequences would be disastrous. Without hesitation, he immediately headed towards them.
"Captain Nangong, a large number of demonic rat bugs are heading your way. Get out of here!" An Yi shouted directly towards Nangong Jingming's mecha. His voice was particularly loud amid the noisy screeching of the insects, and he tried his best to let Nangong Jingming and the others hear this urgent warning.
Nangong Jingming saw An Yi appear and a smile appeared on his lips. He knew that they would appear when they were in danger. A warm feeling surged in his heart, and he felt a little more grateful for Ren Lin's secret care, but he still kept a calm face.
"Who are you?" Nangong Jingming asked knowingly. He asked this deliberately to test the other party's attitude and to ease the tension a little.
"Captain Nangong, I'm a member of the Navy SEALs. I saw you were in danger and came to inform you," An Yi revealed his identity. His words were concise and clear. He didn't want to waste too much time explaining at this time. He just hoped that Nangong Jingming and the others would heed the advice and evacuate as soon as possible.
"Oh, Captain Ren asked you to inform us!" Nangong Jingming said as if it was just what he expected. He had actually guessed that it was Ren Lin's arrangement long ago, and he was just confirming it at this moment.
"Yes, Captain Nangong, take your people and leave here quickly!" An Yi said anxiously. He looked at the army of demonic rats and insects getting closer and closer, and his anxiety grew even more. He kept urging Nangong Jingming and the others.
"Okay, thank you for letting us know." Nangong Jingming said politely. Although they already knew the news, they didn't plan to leave. Even if ten thousand demon rat insects came here, they couldn't deal with so many at the same time, so they wanted to hunt more demon rat insects. The teeth of these demon rat insects were the raw materials for making mechas, and they didn't want to let them go. With tens of thousands of them coming, they were very confident that they could kill a few thousand. Nangong Jingming had his own calculations in mind. He knew the value of these demon rat insect teeth and didn't want to miss this good opportunity to obtain a large amount of raw materials. He also had some confidence in the strength of his team and everyone else.
"Captain Nangong, head east. Our team is over there," An Yi said, pointing in a certain direction. He gestured with his hands, his eyes filled with sincerity, hoping that Nangong Jingming and the others would follow his instructions and evacuate to a relatively safe place as soon as possible.
"Thank you, but we still want to kill some more demonic rats and insects," Nangong Jingming said calmly. His voice was steady and powerful, revealing a firm determination, and he was not intimidated by the huge swarm of insects that was about to surge towards him.
"There are too many of them. It's very dangerous," An Yi said anxiously. His brows were furrowed tightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Seeing Nangong Jingming and the others being so stubborn, he became more and more worried.
"Wait a moment!" They had already taken out two hundred demon rat bugs, and with more coming, they naturally had to fight their way out. Nangong Jingming's eyes were determined as he continued to control the mecha to attack the approaching demon rat bugs, each attack carrying an unstoppable momentum.
An Yi didn't know what to say anymore, and he felt that no matter what he said, they wouldn't listen. He shook his head helplessly, looking at the demonic rats and insects that were pouring in like a tide, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself that since he couldn't persuade them, he couldn't just watch them fall into despair.
He watched as their men worked diligently to kill the incoming demonic rats and insects, each one looking incredibly excited. The figures manipulating their mechas showed no fear at all, instead, their fighting spirit soaring as if they had spotted a treasure. This filled An Yi with both admiration and frustration.
He could only follow them and kill them together. The mission given to him by his master was to protect them. An Yi no longer hesitated, activated the mecha, and quickly joined the battle. He swung the weapon in his hand continuously at the approaching demon rat insects, and the insect blood splattered for a moment.
"Brother Nangong, are we really not going to run first?" Su Siyi asked doubtfully. She was still a little uneasy. After all, the pressure brought by those ten thousand demonic rats and insects was too strong. Although she believed in Nangong Jingming's judgment, she couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Not yet. Our mecha family's large weapons haven't been tested yet. This is a great opportunity to test them," Nangong Jingming said. A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, thinking that this was a good opportunity to test the power of the mecha's large weapons. If the effect was good, they would be more confident in facing such insect swarms in the future.
"Okay, but if you're really in danger, don't think too much about it. Life is more important," Su Siyi said. Her tone was filled with worry and concern. In her heart, everyone's safety always came first.
"Don't worry, I won't risk my teammates' lives," Nangong Jingming said. His voice was steady and firm, which made Su Siyi feel a little more at ease. She continued to concentrate on controlling the mecha to fight the insect swarm.
"Well, I believe you." Su Siyi still believed in him. She nodded slightly. Although the battle around her was fierce, her trust in Nangong Jingming made her feel more at ease, so she devoted herself to the battle more attentively.
As they chatted through the mecha's dedicated line, they never forgot to attack the rushing demon rat insects. Under their control, the mecha moved smoothly and accurately, and each attack accurately hit the target. The corpses of the demon rat insects gradually piled up around them.
As their movements became more powerful, the mecha could easily dispatch a single demonic rat insect with a single strike. The coordination among the group became increasingly tacit, as if forming a tightly knit fighting unit, temporarily blocking the influx of demonic rat insects beyond a certain range.
Three minutes later, the SEALs arrived at Nangong Jingming's location. A spaceship landed not far away, and the team members quickly disembarked, activated their mechas, and headed towards the swarm.
"Captain Nangong, didn't I tell you to leave immediately?" Ren Lin asked, somewhat puzzled. His eyes revealed a hint of confusion, wondering why Nangong Jingming and his men, knowing that such a large insect swarm was approaching, still stayed here to continue fighting.
"Captain Ren, thank you for your kindness. We still want to test our abilities, so we don't want to leave for the time being." Nangong Jingming saw Ren Lin approaching and took the time to answer his question. He had a faint smile on his face, appearing remarkably calm in this tense battle atmosphere.
