Chapter 174 Marshal Chu Emerges from Seclusion! (Bonus Chapter)
The mentor didn't want to say much to Melina, fearing that the child might act impulsively and cause trouble again, but Melina persisted relentlessly.

"Alright, this is a rule of the underworld, it must not be spread outside."

The mentor opened a virtual screen and showed Melina the latest battle situation map: "Wormholes have appeared in every ring. The first ring has the fewest, but the most Void Devourers have appeared. This is the situation five days ago."

Melina remained calm and took a picture of the situation with her smartwatch: "Why are there so many wormholes near the headquarters of Starshine Life?"

The mentor retrieved the battle situation map, sighed heavily, and knew that even if he didn't tell Melina, she would find a way to seek the answer.

"Based on our speculation, Zerg blood can influence wormhole formation to some extent."

The fact that Starshine Life is secretly developing bio-engineered mechs has become an open secret among its high-ranking members.

They not only collect fresh blood from the Zerg, but also extract sap from Stardust-mutated plants.

Most of these test tubes are stored at the headquarters of StarLife.

Melina had a knowing look on her face: "I knew it! Is the Federation going to abandon them too?"

"How is that possible? The First Star Ring Special Forces and the Security Department's Special Guard have both gone to the rescue."

Melina clicked her tongue lightly, thinking that life indeed has different levels of importance.

The mentor said all that just to get Melina to stay put.

Melina was very obedient, only wandering around the campus and never going out, but secretly she sent all the information she had collected to Lin Xiaohe's account.

Lin Xiaohe can receive this information as long as she connects to the StarNet.

In the early stages of the war, the federal military and government adopted a strategy of trading planets for time.

If a wormhole appears on a remote planet or a planet that is not of high status or value, the federal government and military will transfer important personnel and resources in a very short time.

Once these people leave the planet, the military will destroy it with planetary weapons to prevent the Zerg from building hives on it and using them as springboards to jump to nearby areas.

These planets experienced a fate similar to that of the capital star in the third ring.

The Federation military will concentrate its forces to deal with the Void Devourer before the Zerg can form a large-scale troop advantage.

Meanwhile, the Security Department and the Zerg Research Institute used this time to conduct in-depth research in an effort to break through the Zerg's defenses.

"According to the plan, we will drop probes into the wormhole to search for the location of the Zerg's mother hive."

The military held an online meeting, where the Chief of Staff of the General Staff delivered a speech.

This plan was inspired by Lin Xiaohe's reverse entry into the wormhole.

Based on Lin Xiaohe's experience, the Zerg's wormhole should be a two-way passage.

If the special forces can indeed find the Mother Nest through the wormhole and destroy it directly, they can resolve this crisis for the Federation.

But a plan is a plan, and plans can never keep up with changes.

Thousands upon thousands of detectors were launched, but not a single one returned with any useful information.

[Operation Straight to the Heart of the Dragon] is a failure!

The exhausted Dean of Gaia Academy, a special guest at the meeting, said, "Even our latest bio-stardust armor cannot stop the stardust torrent of the [Void Devourer]. I can assure you, the entire Federation has no shield that can withstand it."

The bad news is that humanity is helpless against the Void Devourer.

The good news is that there aren't many Void Devourers; there are fewer than a hundred in the entire Federation.

Once they have eaten their fill or engaged in a resource-consuming war to deplete their energy, they will fall into a prolonged coma.

Most of the attendees had dealt with the Zerg, and they were all discussing it animatedly. "How did this thing evolve? It's so illogical."

"The Zerg rely on numbers. Judging from the reproductive capabilities of the Black Beetle and the Fat Bug, the number of Void Devourers should be far greater than these."

"Could it be that the Zerg are still holding back, trying to catch us off guard?"

It doesn't make sense.

Faced with such an absolute advantage, what backup plan is there?
The Zerg are essentially using war to sustain war; the more planets they conquer, the more Zerg they can breed.

"I heard that the Empire has developed a fusion of Zerg and humans that can control Level 1 Black Beetles."

Wow.

Everyone was incredibly envious. If the Federation had such a fusion entity, there would be no need to bomb planets at all.

So far, more than 200 bombs have been detonated across the entire Federation, and the economic and human losses are incalculable.

The commander of the Fifth Star Ring Military Region said impatiently, "So what should we do? The Empire has already pushed the battle line to the entire border of the Sixth Star Ring."

The sixth star ring has a lot of small wormholes, which are mostly filled with black beetles. In the early stages, each wormhole only has 20-60 black beetles.

This gave many planets a chance to breathe. Only three planets in the Sixth Ring were destroyed due to complete collapse.

However, the empire's opportunistic raids exacerbated Alexander's already depleted military strength, making his sixth ring even more vulnerable.

The fact that the bald-headed army commander's beloved wife and son were both sent to the battlefield shows just how tense the situation was in the Sixth Star Ring!
Some turned their attention to the security representative: "A large portion of the Federation's top combat power is with you, and you deal with the Zerg the most, so why don't you..."

"No way!" The security representative refused without hesitation. "Our people are guarding the gate. If we remove them, no one can afford the consequences."

"What should we do then?!"

The entire Federation was gripped by fear.

Even though Nuwa implemented information control measures, various rumors still spread rapidly in the dark world as if they had grown wings.

From men to women, from the elderly to children, the rumors are becoming increasingly outrageous.

Rumors have evolved to the point that this is the Federation's plan to eliminate humans with inferior genes. The progress of space exploration has been hampered, forcing the Federation and the Empire to compete for limited resources. However, thanks to advancements in medical technology, the population has exploded, and existing resources alone cannot sustain humanity for a thousand years.

The Zerg are a unique species created jointly by the Federation and the Empire, with the intention of using them to wipe out half of humanity. The evidence is the publicly announced fusion plan between Starlife and the Empire!

Coupled with the Federation's tendency to bomb planets at the drop of a hat, many people believe this speculation.

Humanity has advanced technology for so long, occupied six star rings, and wiped out so many extraterrestrial life forms. How could we possibly be so vulnerable in the face of the Zerg?!

It's definitely because they don't want to save people!
In this environment of public opinion, with the Federation in disarray and fighting its own battles, the Federation urgently needs a hero who is prestigious, powerful, and trusted by the entire Federation to step forward and take command!

The good news is that the Federation once had such a figure—Marshal Chu.

The bad news is that his abilities have declined significantly, and he is no longer capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of marshal.

A deathly silence filled the web conference room.

Some of the attending members of parliament even had the idea that, "Let's just leave it at that and let the Zerg eat their fill, then they'll quiet down on their own."

Suddenly, Nuwa's voice resounded throughout the conference room.

[Chu Huaizhi, join the meeting!]

　The innocence that everyone is hoping for will definitely be proven.
