Chapter 778: Chapter 380 Insect Star (5-in-1)_6
Swoosh!
Two beams shot forward!
Boom!
In an instant, the Poison Stinger Bug was blasted apart, its flesh and blood scattered everywhere.
Little Grey, seeing this scene, happily continued to fly forward.
Su Ming and Su Yuan controlled their mechas, continuing to follow behind.
However, the further they flew, the scanning device detected more and more bugs, even swarms of them.
Su Ming observed this phenomenon, his brow furrowing deeper.
Inside the Light Shuttle Central Control Room.
Zhou Mu and others looked at the increasing red dots on the scanning device, feeling uneasy as they spoke.
“Little Grey, where exactly are you leading us? Why does it feel like there are more and more bug swarms?”
“Yeah, bugs everywhere.”
…..
Irelia’s eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.
“So far, no high-level Hive creatures have been found, the risk is still within controllable range.”
Upon hearing Irelia’s words, everyone suppressed their unease and watched patiently.
Just when everyone was on edge, a red giant planet suddenly appeared in their view.
The entire red giant planet was surrounded by flying bugs.
These flying insects occasionally flew into the red giant planet.
Instantly, the scanning device emitted a piercing alarm sound.
“Scanned high-intensity Pollack biological reaction!”
“Warning: Scanned a semi-formed Hive queen nest.”
Lan Ning and others spoke with shock.
“Lord Irelia, in front is a Hive queen nest!”
Zhou Mu and others were suddenly startled; they hadn’t expected Little Grey to lead them to the Hive’s lair.
Irelia’s expression shifted slightly as she immediately spoke.
“Brother Su Ming, immediately take Little Grey and return!”
“Got it.”
Su Ming responded promptly.
Irelia immediately said to Lan Ning and others.
“Stop advancing!”
“Yes!”
Lan Ning and others responded quickly.
Before long, Su Ming came into the central control room holding Little Grey.
Irelia, seeing Su Ming return, then spoke.
“Now that everyone is here, let me explain briefly, according to the scan, the red giant planet ahead is the Hive’s queen nest, with an incredibly large number of Hive inside, making it very dangerous. However, such a large nest definitely contains high-level ores.”
“Right, at the very least there’s a High-level Energy Crystal vein, creatures like the Hive love to nest near crystal veins.”
David and others spoke excitedly.
Tiger and others, however, expressed concerns.
“But this is the Hive’s queen nest, we only have fifty people, and only thirty of them can fight. We have to realize, inside this Hive at least tens of millions of bugs, and there might be high-status bugs among them.”
After listening, Su Ming turned to Irelia.
At this moment, Irelia calmly said.
“Everyone need not worry, perhaps you forgot one thing, we’re here to participate in the Star Storage competition, not to really mine. We just need a small team to break in, then survey, obtain sample records and coordinates, and that’s a success, after which we can immediately withdraw! How many bugs inhabit here, or if there are hidden high-level Hive creatures, is of no concern to us.”
Su Yuan and others, upon hearing this, instantly realized, happily saying.
“Right, we’re here to compete, we just need to submit the samples and coordinates.”
“Irelia is truly sharp, addressing the crucial point straight away, so what should we do next?”
Su Ming looked at Irelia and asked with a smile.
Irelia turned to look at the silent Blakes, and asked.
“Doctor, do you have a way for our people to enter this Hive quietly?”
“I do, I brought some Mechanical Octopuses, as long as luck isn’t too bad and we don’t encounter high-level Hive, it should be fine.”
Blakes responded directly.
“Good, I will arrange the action now, this time only sending one survey team, Su Ming, you and four others will pilot Pure Mechanical Mechas for escort. But don’t worry, I will have the others all stay with the Biological Mechas, if anything goes wrong, we will support you immediately.”
Irelia said to Su Ming and others.
“Understood!”
The five of them responded solemnly.
“No time to delay, start the operation!”
Irelia said decisively.
Su Ming and others immediately left the central control room, heading to Hangar No. 1.
…..
Inside Hangar No. 1.
Su Ming walked to the foot of the Slaughter Blade Mecha, just as he was about to board.
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue approached, giving Su Ming their instructions.
“Su Ming, be very careful during this operation. This giant planet surely harbors terrifying Hive creatures, if something unexpected happens, send a distress signal immediately, and we’ll come straight away.”
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. We’re just taking some samples, not that unlucky.”
Su Ming replied with feigned ease.
“Okay!”
The two nodded slightly in response.
Su Ming then carried Little Grey, activated the anti-gravity device, and floated up to the cockpit.
Quickly, Su Ming and the others entered the cockpit, starting the mechas and flying towards the launching exit.
As they burst out of the Light Shuttle, Mechanical Octopuses flew over, wrapping around their machines.
At that moment, the Light Shuttle’s launching bay opened.
A small, probe-shaped exploration module was also released.
The Mechanical Octopuses swam over immediately, wrapping around the exploration module from all directions.
Su Ming and the others flew in front of the small exploration module, grabbing onto the handles on its surface, and flew towards the red giant planet.
The closer they got to the red giant planet, the denser the surrounding insect swarm became.
A swarm of Black Stinger Bugs even flew right past them, almost colliding directly.
Su Yuan swallowed hard and said.
“There are so many bugs outside this planet, will there be more inside?”
“Not sure, but if we’re careful it should be fine, as most of these bugs are relatively low-level.”
Su Ming replied logically.
“Understood.”
Zhou Mu and others responded nervously.
Fortunately, Su Ming and the others had good luck this time, quickly reaching the giant planet’s surface atmosphere, starting their descent.
Su Ming and others held their breath, nerves taut, eyes glued to the scanning device, fearing a bug would suddenly pop out in front of them.
After a few minutes, Su Ming and others broke through the atmosphere, the pitted red terrain came into view.
Looking carefully, they saw the red terrain was dug out with giant holes.
