I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"These Viking fighters have both land and air combat modes, and can change their attack form by transforming. These bad boys are far more capable of dealing with both land and air combat than the Wraith Fighters. Make good use of this, Miss Theresa."

After hearing Swann's words, Theresa nodded in gratitude and said:

"Thanks, Uncle Swann, I'll make good use of these Viking fighters."

After hearing Theresa's words, Swan gave Theresa a thumbs-up and then closed the connection.

After Theresa disconnected the communication, she looked at the Viking fighter jets in the sky and said:

"An amphibious transforming fighter jet?"

Then Theresa turned to the others and asked:

"Alright, SCVs gather resources to prepare for building bunkers and supply depots, other units deploy defensive lines at the crossroads."

Upon hearing Theresa's order, the Rangers understood and began preparing to set up a defensive line to resist the infected's attack. Although the infected had not yet discovered them, it was never a bad thing to prepare in advance.

After giving orders to the ranger units, Theresa also contacted the residential areas from the command center.

"This is Renault's Rangers. Can anyone hear me?"

After Theresa repeated the communication once or twice, the residents in the settlements on Haven heard Theresa's call and immediately began to contact Theresa, requesting rescue, as they had also witnessed the devastation in the quarantine zone.

They had initially dismissed Dr. Ariel's concerns, but now it seemed she was right, which instilled fear in them.

Hearing the chaotic shouts, Theresa quickly spoke to the residents of the area:

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't panic, don't be nervous. The most dangerous time hasn't come yet. Residents who are able to leave, leave the gathering area and evacuate to our base coordinates. For those who are unable to evacuate, I will send a Hercules transport plane to escort you away from your original location. Now pack your things and prepare to evacuate at any time. At the same time, be on guard and report immediately if you find any trace of infected individuals!"

After hearing Theresa's words, the residents of the settlement expressed their understanding and began packing their belongings, preparing to evacuate at any time.

After finishing the communication, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief and reached to touch her forehead, but she only felt a cold metallic touch. This made her realize she was still wearing her helmet. Theresa sighed and said:

"I almost forgot I was wearing a helmet. I guess I was a little nervous."

Theresa then shook her head to clear her head; she couldn't afford to be like this in the upcoming battle.

Chapter 1101 [Haven Cleanup and Rescue Operation (Part 1)]

On Haven, Theresa was inspecting the defenses and at the same time, she instructed Reno and his team to send out a squadron of Wraith fighters as a patrol and reconnaissance team to prevent an air raid by the infected. Otherwise, the residents heading towards the defenses might be attacked by the swarms of insects.

Theresa nodded as she watched the convoy of vehicles arriving one after another from the residential area, and said:

"Hmm, it seems the residents here do have vehicles, but there are still too few mobile vehicles. The number of these vehicles is not enough to transport everyone from the settlement away."

Theresa opened the communication channel and contacted the heavy factory to have them build several Hellfire Tanks. These Hellfire Tanks would then provide protection for the retreating convoy. They were quite effective against the infected humans, and their speed was relatively fast among ground vehicles, making them an ideal choice for supporting the retreating convoy. The only drawback was the lack of anti-aircraft firepower, since the Rangers didn't have any fast-moving anti-aircraft vehicles.

However, Theresa also thought that Swann could try to install the missile turret's rocket pods onto the tank, which might give the Rangers an extra mobile missile turret.

But at that moment, Theresa suddenly received a warning from her adjutant in the command center.

"Warning: Level 5 biosignal detected. A large number of infected individuals are moving toward a residential area."

Upon hearing the alarm, Theresa's expression immediately turned serious, and she said:

"Report the enemy's location; they've headed towards which residential area."

After hearing Theresa's instructions, the adjutant displayed the location of the infected and their route on Theresa's small computer. Through the route map displayed on the screen, Theresa also roughly knew the enemy's location. Obviously, the enemy was heading towards the nearest residential area to the quarantine zone. Although there were vehicles in the residential area, their numbers were just a drop in the ocean.

In terms of numbers, the enemy consisted of a large swarm of infected, and a group of regular Zerg units were escorting these infected toward the settlement. The ground units were just some roaches, zebras, and hydralisks, but the air force was different. The Zerg air force consisted of Mutalisks and Brood Lords, except for the Overlords which lacked offensive capabilities.

As for the alien dragons, it's not a problem. If it's the Wraith Fighter, it can use stealth to ambush them, but the prerequisite is to eliminate the eye worm covered in eyes first. Otherwise, the Wraith Fighter won't be able to ambush those agile alien worms.

Moreover, the Brood Lords in the air force are the most troublesome. The Brood Lords can be described as Zerg carriers or long-range air-to-ground bombers. The Brood Lords are very aggressive towards ground units. The symbiotic Brood Lords that hatch from the Brood Lords will dive down to the ground like biological missiles, which can cause powerful attacks on those ground units. After all, the destructive power caused by the kinetic energy carried by objects falling from high altitudes at high speed is terrifying. It is no exaggeration to say that they are like artillery shells.

Most importantly, the symbiotic nest insects that swoop down from high altitudes do not suffer much damage, showing that these nest insects have sufficient resistance to impact. However, these symbiotic nest insects are not very resilient and die quickly after a period of time. During this period, however, the symbiotic nest insects will launch a frenzied attack on their enemies.

After figuring out the specific types and distribution of the enemy, Theresa called for the air force to prepare for departure, and then ordered a medical transport plane to prepare to transport a group of army soldiers to set up a temporary position in the residential area to defend against the enemy attack.

Theresa said to Yuhaka beside her:

"Youyou, could you please go with them?"

"Youyou understands OwO~"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yhaka nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Yhaka then boarded the medical transport and joined the support team to deal with the Zerg forces.

.................................................. ..................

While aboard the medical transport plane, Yhaka curiously observed the escorting Viking warplanes. Although he had seen those Viking warplanes in the armory, they were in land combat mode, not air combat mode. This made Yhaka very curious about whether those Viking warplanes could really transform into robots.

Soon, Yuhaka also spotted the Zerg air force in the distance. Clearly, the Xenomorphs had discovered them and were now flying towards them.

"Youyou, the enemy air force is coming. You'll handle the Eye Worms; the others will take care of the alien dragons."

Upon hearing Theresa's command, Yhaka skillfully drew his Baradion, transforming it into a sniper rifle. He then prepared to fire from the medical transport. Once the Alien and the Eye Worm were within his attack range, Yhaka pulled the trigger. In the next instant, a sniper bullet, resembling a giant steel nail, was fired from Yhaka's weapon, striking the Eye Worm's vulnerable head. The powerful penetration carried the bullet deep into the Eye Worm's body before it detonated.

Instantly, the eye worm turned into a bloody firework in mid-air and disappeared from the world. The alien dragon didn't notice anything, but slightly changed its flight trajectory and rushed towards Yuhaka and the others. The other eye worm saw this scene and realized that someone was attacking them. It then commanded some alien dragons to escort it and prevent itself from turning into a firework like its companion.

However, who is Yhwach? After seeing that the Iodon was protecting the Eye Worm, Yhwach also entered stealth mode, flew to a high altitude, found an unprotected Eye Worm, and swiftly killed the other Eye Worm, causing it to suffer the same fate as the previous Eye Worm.

After all the Eye Worms were wiped out by Yuhaka, the pilots of the Wraith Fighters cheered. Without the Eye Worms, they could freely hide and torment those alien dragons that were like headless flies.

The Viking fighters target the enemy's airborne Brood Lords. While the Brood Lords' small flying insects can fly out and strike their targets, they are not very effective against the agile Viking fighters.

Chapter 1102 [Haven Cleanup and Rescue Operation (Part 2)]

Under the onslaught of the Viking warplanes' Lanzel Thunders, the Brood Lords, who had lost their air defense capabilities, were slaughtered like sandbags by the Viking warplanes. Before long, all of the Brood Lords died under the attack of the Viking warplanes.

Meanwhile, the alien dragons were dealt with by Yuhaka and the Wraith Fighters. After eliminating the air force, Yuhaka and her air force and transport units arrived at the residential area faster than the infected. The residents of the residential area cheered when they saw the Ranger insignia, clearly indicating that Raynor's Rangers had not abandoned them.

After the medical transport plane flew over the open area of ​​the settlement, the Ranger members inside disembarked. Once aboard, a Ghost agent in command directed the troops to organize the defenses. He then ordered the residents of the settlement to allow women, children, and the elderly to leave on the medical transport plane first, and that Hercules would come to pick up everyone later.

The residents of the residential area were also very rational. They did not panic and try to squeeze onto the medical transport plane. After the elderly, weak, sick and disabled left, the team leader ordered the remaining residents to hide indoors to avoid being affected when the infected attacked later.

The remaining residents also hid back inside to avoid being affected. After the residents left, several siege tanks set up their turrets, and the marines took out several boxes of spider mines and installed these loud little guys along the infected's inevitable path.

The Viking warplanes in the sky also transformed into ground combat mode and landed on the ground. Yuhaka, who was on the immigrant building not far away, watched this scene with an O▽O～ look on his face. Obviously, the ability of the Viking warplanes to transform was very attractive to Yuhaka, which made him want to try flying those transforming fighter jets.

After using some vehicles as cover, the Rangers also set up a defensive line to defend against the impending army of infected.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of explosions in the distance, everyone knew that the infected had appeared. After the explosions stopped, the Rangers saw that the number of infected had decreased significantly, obviously because many of them had been killed by the spider mines outside.

The remaining infected were no match for the siege tanks. The long-range artillery fire from the siege tanks could also cause considerable damage to the infected, since most of the infected had little defensive capabilities, except for the centaur-like infected that could withstand a single shot from the siege tank's cannon.

Yuhaka was also lying on the rooftop, sniping at those guys who looked very difficult to deal with. Basically, those guys turned into corpses after being hit by one of Yuhaka's attacks.

After Yuhaka and her team dealt with a wave of enemies, the Hercules transport plane arrived. Once the Hercules arrived, the Ghost Agent directed the residents to evacuate. Upon hearing the Ghost Agent's order, the residents quickly boarded the Hercules transport plane and immediately retreated. Others followed suit, and Yuhaka jumped directly onto the Hercules transport plane to hitch a ride.

After everyone boarded the Hercules transport plane, the Hercules took off and flew away from this place of trouble. After the Hercules transport plane left, a large group of infected people arrived at this deserted residential area.

Inside the command center on Haven, Theresa, looking puzzled as she saw the infected occupying deserted settlements via radar, said:

"Strange? Why are those infected occupying a deserted settlement?"

Regarding Theresa's question, Reno and the others on the Hyperion were also unsure. After all, they didn't know what the infected were up to with such abnormal behavior. Soon, Theresa and the others found out what the infected were going to do. Several huge, fat worm-like alien insects suddenly emerged from the ground.

Upon seeing those enormous, fat, worm-like alien insects, Theresa looked surprised and said:

"Wait, aren't those giant, insect-like alien insects the same ones that Youyou caught in Mynehoff?"

Hearing Theresa's words, Horner nodded and said to Theresa:

"That's right. The alien insects that Miss Theresa and Youyou caught are of the same species. These alien insects are called Infected by Stetman. They not only have neuroparasitic stingers that control organisms, but they can also release an alien virus that contains a sticky acid and infects organisms, and they can also move underground."

Upon hearing Horner's words, Theresa understood. Then, Theresa saw the infected spraying the alien virus at the buildings. Just as everyone was wondering what the infected were doing, biological tissue grew out of the buildings, which surprised everyone.

"Those infected individuals also have the ability to turn buildings into infected buildings, but what can they do with that ability?"

Regarding Theresa's question, infected humans began to emerge one after another from the infected buildings in the video. Upon seeing this, Theresa and the others were stunned.

After all, they hadn't expected that infected buildings could hatch humans from humans. Theresa immediately contacted the Yuhaka team that had gone to provide support and asked:

"Wait, have all the residents in that settlement over there been evacuated?!"

The Ghost Agent in charge of the team looked puzzled upon hearing Theresa's words, and then explained:

“Everyone in that settlement has left, Miss Theresa. The previous medical transport planes transported the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled away. We are transporting everyone who remains from that settlement.”

Upon hearing the Ghost Agent's words, Theresa wore a puzzled expression, clearly taken aback by the Ghost Agent's answer. Theresa then contacted Yuhaka to ask:

"Youyou, did you sense that everyone had left when you left?"

Onboard the Hercules transport ship, Yhaka lay sprawled out, looking bored. It was then that he heard Theresa's question. After briefly recalling his memories, Yhaka replied:

"No, they've all left =－＝～"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Theresa was completely certain that all the residents had left, but what about these infected creatures emerging from the immigrant settlement buildings?

Chapter 1103 [Haven Cleanup and Rescue Operation (Part 2)]

Then, based on Stetman's speculation, he thought that the Zerg might have stored human genes. In this way, the Zerg could mix human and Zerg genes to produce a large number of cheap infected legions. As for why he said cheap... wouldn't it be cheap to create so many infected at once?

Wouldn't it be better to use these resources in a legitimate organization that incubates Zerg?

For this very reason, when Theresa and her team evacuate the residents next time, setting fire to the buildings or planting explosives would be a good option. Giving the Zerg a surprise during the evacuation would be a good choice.

After realizing that the infected could infect buildings, Renault and his team began to pay attention to the immigrant buildings in the settlements. Although the immigrants cared a lot about their property, this was not the time to care about things now. If they didn't clean up those things, the swarm would continue to expand the infection range, and if hordes of infected bodies swarmed towards them like a tide, it would be a very troublesome situation.

.................................................. ......................

After bringing the immigrants back, Theresa sent people to test them to prevent any of them from contracting the alien virus. Unfortunately, a significant number of the immigrants showed signs of infection, which was quite bad in a way.

To prevent the infection from spreading further, Theresa had to separate the infected residents from the others. At the same time, Theresa also reassured the infected residents not to panic, telling them that an antidote was being developed and asking them not to be too flustered.

Even though Theresa was concerned, the infected residents still looked terrified. After all, anyone who knew they would be infected and turn into a monster would be scared to death.

Fortunately, they didn't become hysterical, otherwise Theresa wouldn't have known what to do, since she had never dealt with such a situation before.

"Theresa, how's the situation down there?"

Upon hearing Renault's question, Theresa sighed and said:

"To be honest, it's very bad. The infection is spreading far too fast. By the time we rescued those residents, quite a few had already been infected by the alien virus."

After hearing Theresa's words, Renault also looked serious and said:

"Really? It seems those alien viruses are mutating incredibly fast. Hopefully, the antidote that Stetman and Dr. Ariel are developing can solve the problem. Let's hope we can still make it in time..."

Although that's what Reynolds said, he was also worried about whether Stetman and his team could keep up with the mutations of the Zerg virus, since the Zerg virus was just too unpredictable.

"Alright, stop with the discouraging talk. The main objective this time is to deal with the infected buildings and the quarantine areas that have become sources of infection. If those places aren't dealt with, the infection will spread further."

Guan Xing's words resonated with everyone present, who nodded in agreement. Indeed, as Guan Xing said, if the infected areas were not cleared away, the Zerg infection would spread further, and it wouldn't be a problem for the entire planet Haven to be covered by Zerg creep.

Therefore, Theresa and her team must eliminate those sources of infection as soon as possible.

Otherwise, dragging it out indefinitely is not a solution. After all, after the last rescue operation ended, the Zerg swarm actually hatched Ultralisks, which was completely beyond Theresa's expectations. As a high-level Zerg ground unit, the Ultralisks not only have strong defensive capabilities but also powerful destructive capabilities.
