Chapter 329 The Insects' Conspiracy

The sudden retreat of the Zerg made Qi Yiming feel that there must be some conspiracy, so the two fleets supporting the War Star did not leave after the Zerg evacuated.

Time flies, February of the 34th year of the new calendar.

Qi Yiming, who originally thought that the Zerg would still attack the War Star, suddenly received news from the New Federation Military.

A large number of Zergs launched attacks from all directions of the Federation again.

If Qi Yiming had not always required the border fleets to maintain the highest alert state and all combat positions must be manned 24 hours a day, the Zerg's attack would have been discovered at the first time to see if the Zerg could be stopped in the border galaxy.

On the contrary, there was no movement in the galaxy where the War Star was located.

This situation couldn't be clearer. The Zerg Overlord was playing a trick, and the ultimate goal was still the War Star.

But what could Qi Yiming do if he saw through the Zerg Overlord's plan?

Intelligence from various battlefields sent by the military showed that the number of Zergs to be faced on each line of defense was extremely large, and even if all the fleets of the Federation were pressed up, they might not be able to prevent the Zerg's attack.

What's more, there are two main fleets of the New Federation accompanying the war star.

Qi Yiming had no choice but to give up the current mission of the war star and return to the territory of the New Federation along the star gate route.

But Qi Yiming commanded the war star to pass through two star gates, and the engineering fleet in front of him that was carrying out the star gate construction mission sent a warning. They also found that a large number of insect swarms were approaching the star gate under construction.

After receiving the report from the engineering fleet, Qi Yiming ordered them to retreat along the built star gate without hesitation.

But when Qi Yiming watched the symbols representing the star gates on the star map dim one by one, he was anxious.

A giant building like a star gate is an extremely valuable asset even for the current New Federation. How could Qi Yiming not feel distressed when it was easily destroyed by the insect swarm?

In the end, Qi Yiming could only ask the New Federation Army to urgently allocate a batch of defensive turrets and set up defensive positions at a distance of five star gates from the War Star. He would command the War Star to retreat while fighting until the temporary defense line could provide sufficient firepower support for the War Star, and then he would command the War Star to push to the defense line.

As for the other two fleets, they would go to their respective war zones to perform combat missions according to the original plan.

The turrets were all ready-made. They only needed to be transported to the destination by giant transport ships and directly anchored according to the defense line, so the temporary defense line did not take much time to set up.

Qi Yiming commanded the War Star and the Zerg's pursuit troops to struggle. Even though the high-energy particle oscillation position weakened the Zerg, the number of Zerg really exceeded Qi Yiming's imagination.

The Zerg Overlord seemed to have given a death order. As long as all the Zerg saw the War Star, even if they were alone, they would attack the War Star without hesitation.

Qi Yiming was forced to use the fan-shaped tactics of the high-energy particle oscillation position several times to instantly clear the Zerg surrounding her, and then he found the opportunity to enter the star gate and temporarily break away from the Zerg.

Although Qi Yiming's situation looks dangerous, it is actually under Qi Yiming's control.

But the only thing that makes Qi Yiming feel strange is why the insects are so persistent against the war star?

According to the wisdom of the swarm master, it is impossible for it not to know that relying on numbers alone, let alone sinking the war star, even if it wants to trap her firmly in a certain place is an extremely difficult thing.

But even so, the insects will still attack the war star one after another. Why is this?

After getting rid of the siege of the swarm again, Qi Yiming took advantage of the gap when the war star passed through the star gate to carefully review the attack of the swarm.

It has been more than half a month since the swarm launched its first raid.

In the past half month, the directions of the various war zones of the New Federation cannot be said to be impregnable, but it is impossible for the swarm to form a breakthrough in a short period of time.

This is of course inseparable from the fearless fighting of the human fleet, but the intentional or unintentional release of the swarm is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

According to Qi Yiming's understanding of the swarm, the swarm rarely launches such a flood-like attack.

It will definitely form an absolute advantage at each point while blooming in multiple places, thus forming a breakthrough in the human front line.

But until now, Qi Yiming has not seen where the Zerg Overlord is going to break through the human defense line. Instead, it has done the thing that is undoubtedly going to break through the defense line again and again, that is, sending a large number of Zerg swarms to the war star like a suicide.

"I always feel that the Zerg launched a surprise attack this time for other purposes..." Qi Yiming frowned and looked at the battlefield situation map in front of him that included all the war zones.

"Isn't their goal the war star? What's there to worry about with such a clear thing?" Zhang Lei, who was standing aside, said indifferently.

Qi Yiming nodded first, then shook his head, looking extremely entangled.

Zhang Lei couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that the Overlord wants to test the firepower limit of the war planet?"

"With the assistance of the high-energy particle oscillation field, how could the Zerg test the firepower limit of the war planet?"

"Didn't you force you to use large-scale attacks several times? There was even one time when you activated the warp engine to escape the battlefield."

"That was me deliberately exposing my flaws so as to cause as much damage as possible to the Zerg."

"The Zerg can't possibly adapt to the attack rhythm of the war planet with such desperate attacks?" Zhang Lei said casually.

When Qi Yiming heard this, he was struck by lightning.

He slapped himself hard: "I'm so stupid, how come I didn't think of such an important thing earlier?"

Zhang Lei was startled by Qi Yiming's sudden action: "Are you crazy? Why do you slap yourself?"

Qi Yiming turned around and gave Zhang Lei a big hug, and then excitedly said to Zhang Lei, whose face was already flushed: "You are so smart... but you helped me a lot!!"

Zhang Lei was still a little confused. She didn't understand what Qi Yiming meant: "What are you talking about? How did I help you a lot?"

"Wait, I need to confirm it before I can tell you."

Qi Yiming then quickly called up the combat parameters of the previous battles, especially paying attention to the time it took for each Zerg single body to be killed under the influence of the high-energy particle oscillation field.

After screening by the intelligent brain, the results were soon placed in front of Qi Yiming.

When the Zerg attacked the war star for the first time, the average time it took for the individual Zerg to be killed after entering the high-energy particle oscillation field was 32 seconds.

The average killing time in the second raid was 32.22 seconds.

The third time increased to 32.73 seconds.

As the number of attacks on the war stars increased, the time it took for human weapons to kill individual insects in the swarm was also increasing.

Until the last battle, the time it took for humans to kill individual insects in the swarm that entered the high-energy particle oscillation position had increased to 33.35 seconds.

Seeing this, Qi Yiming's hair stood up all over his body, and beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
