Chapter 489: Council of Elders (1)

Inside the main battleship, Celine couldn't help but gasped, almost crying. She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but she felt better than ever.

"Why are you two here, Mr. Lu?"

After finishing speaking, the girl casually picked up a nutrition bar and gnawed on it.

Viola and Samantha looked at each other. They didn't know the news that the mech team had lost contact, but they couldn't help worrying that they hadn't returned for so long.

"Mr. Lu took Will and Dean on a mission, and he probably will be back soon."

However, when they thought of Lu Li, the two instantly regained their confidence.

The same is true for Celine. She gnawed on a slightly sweet nutrition bar to supplement the energy loss caused by the long sleep, and looked forward to Lu Li's return to help her adapt to her new power.

"Sir, here is a well-structured mech."

Tens of kilometers away, the group of four who were rushing back to the mothership stopped halfway.

There was a serious problem with the mecha controlled by Dean. Not only did the intelligent assistance system lose its function, but also the power aspect, which was intermittent over time. If it suddenly fell in the sky, the consequences would be disastrous.

But in front of him, the mecha is still well preserved. From the outside, only the hand structure is slightly damaged, and the chest armor protecting the internal cabin has a hole, about the size of a fist.

That's right, it was those six idiots who fell behind and were killed. Five of the mechas were completely lost, and all parts were seriously damaged.

In desperation, Lu Li pulled out the crystal that stored the data in it to make up for the loss a little.

"Sir, the system of this mecha is still normal, only the chest armor is seriously damaged."

With that said, Dean, who got into the cockpit, put on his seat belt to prevent his body from being absorbed by the damaged hole in front when flying at high speed.

Just like that, the stagnant team took off again. When leaving, Lu Li did not forget to bring the original mecha with him.

Maybe a fix will still work.

Another half an hour passed, and Lu Li began to feel glad that he didn't bother to make this decision.

Because, Luo Yi told him that all the mech fighters assigned to the other three squadrons were missing, which might be more or less ominous.

"So far, the only good news is that the main force of the Zerg on this planet has almost disappeared."

After the self-explosion system is activated, an indiscriminate strike will be carried out. The Zerg fighters staying in the crater at that time, no matter how strong or weak, must have died.

Unless he has the physical strength of the Zerg, he is stronger than Lu Li in his full state.

As for the remaining ones, they are all wandering soldiers who can be wiped out by dispatching ground troops.

"Then let me add some good news."

After listening to Lu Li's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, but he said, "The reinforcement fleet has received news that they will arrive in nine days. On the way, they can provide long-range fire assistance at any time."

Obviously, he was deliberately enlivening the atmosphere.

It's a pity that Will and Dean, who survived the catastrophe, didn't have the heart to agree. At this moment, they especially wanted to go back to their personal cabins to rest.

Of course, before that, it's better to take a hot shower, drink some red wine, and eat some delicious food, rather than some nutrition bars or energy bars.

"Then... we can only expect the Zerg to be unable to organize a second attack in the short term."

Lu Li, who escaped from the death line, was in a complicated mood, feeling like being taught by the Zerg to behave.

Perhaps, what was shown just now is just the tip of the iceberg of the strange civilization of the Zerg.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li was a bit at a loss. Although he was in awe of the universe before, he still underestimated it. According to the current exploration progress, even after a hundred years, the goal of returning to Earth is still out of reach.

"I remember that there is a grill in the back kitchen, and some quick-frozen fresh meat and seafood. Find a place to have a drink? After the war, you must take a break."

Seeing that everyone who returned was not in high spirits, Luo Yi, the big butler, was a little anxious, especially Lu Li, who not only had a ceiling in combat power, but also a spiritual pillar for everyone, so he had to cheer up.

barbecue?

Will's heart skipped a beat.

In the past, he would have disdained to eat these things at all, but the half-year interstellar voyage and the life of eating energy bars every day made everyone develop a good habit of not being picky about food.

Especially after the catastrophe, I always want to enjoy it.

"Captain, I won't go."

Apart from Lu Li and the other three, he was the only survivor of the big bang. He really wanted to rest, and he also wanted to eat some decent food to give himself a vacation, but being with a few big shots would only backfire.

No way, the gap is too big.

Even if the top management doesn't mind.

Regarding this, Lu Li expressed his understanding, pulled himself together, and said with a smile, "Go and rest first, I will arrange for the logistics staff to deliver some food to you, and you don't have to worry about your position and bonus."

Lu Li has never been stingy when treating his own people. What's more, the other party came back alive after a narrow escape, so he deserves to be treated kindly.

While everyone was celebrating their catastrophe, the highest-level meeting was going on on the Nemesis 1 planet in the rear.

People don't know that the decisions made here will change the future of the entire galaxy.

"Everyone knows what is going to be discussed at this meeting, so I won't waste time making introductions, let's start the discussion directly."

It stands to reason that the higher the class, the more ostentatious people are. In the conference room, this group of elderly people is similar. However, the tense situation on the front line makes them have no time to take care of these useless things.

A holographic star map appeared in the meeting room. It was the Nemesis Galaxy, and it was so detailed that even some areas outside the asteroid belt were marked.

"About fifteen hours ago, the Zerg ended their probing and launched an attack on the outpost..."

The speaker was extremely old, as if he had just been dug out of a graveyard, exuding a rotten breath all over his body, relying on countless pipes to maintain his life.

"Ahem, Arachnis Zerg? Friends, to be honest, they are not difficult."

Someone suddenly spoke. Although he was very old, his eyes and ears were still good, and he knew that the host of the meeting was an old friend from two thousand years ago.

"Old friend, times have changed. I heard from younger generations that if the Zerg race hadn't suddenly appeared in the world, in a few years, the frontier outpost would be completely forgotten by the world."

"There are only a few thousand defenders left, more than half of them are prisoners, and the warships are also second-generation aircraft."

There is no life in the room. The old people who have survived to this day with the help of ancient technology are whispering, like withered ghosts talking in a coffin.

"Then rearm and take it back immediately. We need outposts to serve as buffer zones."

An old man's back was full of metal tubes, some of which penetrated into the blood vessels, and some penetrated into the bone marrow. When he was young, he should have been a hard-liner, and kept patting the table.

It's a pity that the strength was too small to make any big movements.

"I know." The host coughed twice before recovering, "Before that, we must first determine the organizational structure of the Zerg advance army."
