The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

An angry roar and hysterical energy erupted at this moment.

He is still fully capable of fighting. Even if He were cut in half, He would only need a few seconds to recover.

However, the Starfleet will not give him that time.

This very second marks the approach of His death.

"Number Thirteen, I curse you! In the name of the Ninth Apostle, Judgment-Tavi, I curse you! I curse you to die in a more painful and miserable way than I have! I curse you to suffer the most cruel and horrific torture in the entire universe! May you die a horrible death!"

However, His voice was destined not to reach Xue's ears.

Having successfully completed his mission and left the battlefield, Xue Dalu seemed to ignore Him, only able to see His back from afar.

These 19 hours of forbearance and waiting only witnessed the loss of lives by the swarm of insects and humans on a meat grinder-like battlefield, all of which was a torment and torture.

Finally, it transformed into this ultimate strike.

This single strike completely reversed the situation; this single strike utterly severed all of His plans and chances of survival.

But at this moment, Xue Luding stopped looking at the battlefield of the Ninth Apostle. He turned his back and returned to the transport ship, letting the terrifying energy that erupted in the distance behind him and the desperate counterattack of this apostle make it seem as if the entire star ring of the Super Iron Curtain was being annihilated and disintegrated.

But all of this has nothing to do with Schrödinger anymore.

Without looking back, he walked into the transport ship, and finally, under the Ninth Apostle's angry gaze, the transport ship's hatch closed, and he left the battlefield completely.

……

At this moment, everyone on the transport ship breathed a sigh of relief.

The young player even collapsed onto the sofa, as if he were completely exhausted.

Two consecutive long-distance spatial transfers completely drained him.

Even now, his hand holding the water glass was trembling, and water was splashing all over the floor.

But no one blamed him. As he drank water, he asked Xue Dinglu, "Brother, your back view that never turned around just now was really amazing. How come I didn't think of using such a disdainful way to give that bastard a final blow to his spirit!"

Xue's Law: "?"

Seeing Xue Dinglu's puzzled expression, Xiao Jiang felt that B Wang's demeanor was simply ingrained in Xue Dinglu's bones. He didn't even realize how cool it was to leave without looking back at the end.

To everyone's surprise, Xue said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not even as strong as you. I can only last 30 seconds in a vacuum. If I don't get back to the ship quickly, I'll die. Do you think it's because I don't want to speak? If I did speak, I'd probably be lying in space as a floating corpse!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

The young man stared blankly at Xue Dalu, then finally realized that Xue Dalu had not lied.

Just now, Xue's law simply couldn't withstand the vacuum environment and quickly returned...

After all, Xue's Law is only at the fourth rank and hasn't been equipped with space protection yet. The cursed blood can solve the blood pressure problem, but it can't solve other problems...

Xue Luding completely ignored this somewhat dim-witted guy. He drew his dimensional blade again, cleaved a cross-shaped portal in the transport ship, and said, "I need to support the ground immediately. There are still endless swarms of insects on the ground. Shall we go?"

"Come on!" Songquan also put down his water glass and immediately stepped into the teleportation portal.

……

The waves of fire and flames scorched the entire West Sea City into scorched earth. At this moment, the insect swarm discovered in horror that these mechs were endless!

There's no way to kill them all!

They fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, and the shockwaves they created upon hitting the ground could wipe out the insect swarms within a radius of nearly a hundred meters. Then, the terrifying wave of fire would burn all the insects to ashes.

They seem to be born Zerg killers, Zerg swarm killing machines. Everything about them seems to be designed to fight against the Zerg swarm, whether it's their pure metal exoskeleton, their chest reactor, or their scorched earth tactics, all of which exist to exterminate the Zerg swarm!

The insect eggs and all the corpses were purified in the flames, but what terrified the insect swarm even more was...

This group of mechs has already formed a swarm of machines almost as large as a swarm of insects!

This scene even astonished the locals of Beast Planet and the people of the Freedom Iron Curtain.

It was truly as if the machines had descended from the heavens; the snow-covered clouds were pierced by the mechs that descended from the sky, like Titans landing from the air. These mechs instantly held the defensive line and began to gradually form an array, slowly pushing the swarm's lines back.

Not only that, but more and more mechs seemed to be falling from the sky. They had previously estimated that there were tens of thousands of these terrifying mechs, but at this moment, they were numb.

Because at this point, the number of mechs had even begun to match the number of the enemy swarm...

Even Yunxing and Ronald, who fought alongside the tanks and mechs, thought of the story of the four great natural disasters in the universe that Xue Law had once told them.

The First Calamity: The Omnic

The Second Plague: Demons (Undead)

The Third Catastrophe: The Swarm

……

Looking at the fearless mechs that surged like a steel torrent, they realized just how terrifying a fighting force would be formed when machines came together and could self-renew.

Fortunately, these machines don't dislike humans and organisms; in fact, you could say they...like humans very much!

Even though their casualty rate is extremely high, and even though they seem to be born swarm killers, when they encounter pure-blooded Shub Zerg and Zerg warriors, these machines will not hesitate to rush forward and fight to the death with flames and explosive guns against those near-Tier 5 or true Tier 5 Zerg warriors!

Mech explosions and raging fires occurred continuously.

Even Tier 5 warriors were overwhelmed by the endless sea of ​​mech fire after sacrificing hundreds of fearless mechs.

For the first time, this swarm of insects felt the humiliation of being outnumbered.

In reality, not many mechs landed on the ground; the vast majority were engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the Zerg Queen in space.

But what the fearless mechs are best at is walking the swarm of insects like a dog, and using their formation to create situations where they outnumber the enemy in certain areas.

So now that the number of these Dreadnoughts has reached a certain scale, it's time to push back against the Zerg swarm!

Chapter 316 Counterattack on Rongdu

In fact, it makes little difference whether Xue's Law and other members of the interstellar squadron who have completed their missions come to support the surface or not.

When 5332 managed to acquire hundreds of millions of fearless mechs with just a single sentence or a snippet, especially after all the mech soldiers began to be equipped with mechs weighing nearly 100,000 tons.

While it would be biased to measure them by their magical power, they are at least mid-to-high tier 4 beings when it comes to dealing with insects. They can rely on coordination and powerful firepower to overwhelm tier 5 insectoid warriors by sacrificing hundreds or thousands of mechs.

These Zerg players must have seen a ghost today; it's the first time they've ever seen their own side get overwhelmed by the enemy's massive army.

Therefore, after completing the plan against the Ninth Apostle, most of the members of the Starfleet were able to free up their resources to support the Behemoth Star below.

As a result, the swarm, which was already unable to pass through the wall formed by the Dreadnoughts, continued to suffer indescribable heavy damage.

The moment Xue Dinglu and the young general arrived on this planet, the overall situation was already decided; their arrival or not would not have affected the battle.

Looking at the city reduced to scorched earth, Xue Dinglu fell silent.

"I'm going to help first. Although my abilities won't be of much use in this kind of large-scale battle, I might be able to save a few people." After saying that, the young general disappeared from the spot in an instant, teleporting away.

Xue Lude knew that the front line did not need someone like him who only had the strength of a near-4th rank, so he silently searched for survivors in the ruins.

The cursed blood transformed into bloodhounds, desperately searching for life in the ruins. The nearest hound reported the news, and Xue Luding immediately rushed over. However, when he arrived, he only saw two corpses, a man and a woman, lying in the artillery position.

They committed suicide, shot themselves, holding each other's hands, and finally, in despair, swallowed their own guns in this very place.

They did not exhibit any characteristics of behemoth transformation, nor did they possess behemoth serum. They appeared to be military cadets who had just joined the artillery unit and had been performing artillery duties on the rooftop of this building.

However, they ran out of ammunition, and the supply lines behind them couldn't keep up because the supply lines were cut off, while the swarm of insects was probably nearby.

So they seemed to want to die as humans. Inside the building, the young couple held hands and committed suicide by shooting themselves.

Furthermore, it appears that they committed suicide only an hour earlier, just before 5332 arrived to provide assistance.

The young couple died before dawn.

“Go find someone else…” Xue Dinglu said to the Bloodhound that had been formed from the cursed blood.

The bloodhound vanished from its spot in an instant.

Soon, more and more bloodhounds brought back reports, but to Xue's surprise, they were all corpses; not a single person was alive...

Some were human corpses, some seemed to have been half-turned into insects but they committed suicide before they were completely turned into insects, and others were in such a scattered state that even bloodhounds couldn't find any intact parts.

Xue silently collected the corpses one by one.

He wanted to find survivors, anyone, as long as they had a breath left. Whoever they were, as long as they were alive, he could forcibly transfer all their injuries to himself using the cursed blood.

But after more than ten minutes, neither he nor the bloodhound encountered any other living person.

The distant battlefield was ablaze with flames, and the effects of various spells were on display. But when Xue Dinglu saw this desolate city, he suddenly didn't know what he should do or what he could do.

Suddenly, a bloodhound relayed an urgent message: it had spotted a living person!

He rushed over immediately, only to find himself surrounded by two familiar children.

Ronald... and Yunxing...

Yun Xing was completely unconscious at this point, appearing to be breathing more than she was exhaling. Ronald's condition was also terrible; his muscles seemed to be dissolving, and he was in a semi-conscious state. Upon seeing Xue Dinglu, he seemed to think he was dreaming and could only manage to stammer, "Teacher......"

Xue Dinglu immediately came to Yun Xing's side and probed with the Cursed Blood. Yun Xing's heart had stopped beating. In this battle, he had used the Super Beast Serum for the third time. The enormous burden had completely overwhelmed his heart and other organs.

Fortunately, he was not brain dead.

Without saying a word, Xue Dinglu used the cursed blood, and instantly the pain of muscle dissolution and organ overload was transferred to him.

Yunxing was out of danger, but he seemed to have fallen asleep due to prolonged lack of oxygen.

Ronald was in slightly better condition; he could at least speak a few words. After Xue Luding used the cursed blood to restore him, he also fell into a deep coma.

"Sorry, teacher, you're late..." Xue Dinglu said, looking at the city that had been almost completely razed to the ground. There must be more survivors here, there must be...

……

As the sun set, the battle seemed to be over.

In space, the Swarm's Queen eventually died amidst the constant appearance of Dreadnoughts, although the Dreadnoughts, dressed as Scorched Earth mechs, also lost nearly ten thousand mechs in their efforts to kill her.

However, the swarm was completely overwhelmed by the vast and endless number of mechs.

Finally, in the flames, they turned into cosmic dust, their bodies and ashes completely incinerated by the near-10,000-degree scorched earth flamethrower.

This is the weapon that the Dreadnoughts created during their long battle with the swarms, the most suitable for killing the insects. Even though the surface of the sun is only about 6000 degrees Celsius, they can use special magical technology to mass-produce seas of fire with temperatures of nearly 10,000 degrees Celsius.

These fire waves can even last for hours. As long as their energy and fuel are not exhausted, they will continue to burn. The flames, like maggots clinging to bones, will stick to organic matter and burn incessantly until everything is burned away.

Only at this temperature will the insect swarm's corpses decompose, preventing the pollution and distortion from affecting the earth's surface.

The so-called Scorched Earth Project involves burning away all traces of the insect swarms across the entire planet with flames, breaking them down into their most primitive structures in the fire.

Insect eggs, insect corpses, slime, and everything else are purified in the flames, and the entire surface is also burned with a layer of obsidian and glass.
