Chu Ran locked eyes with the SS-class Zerg.
This Zerg was more powerful than any she had encountered before—no, perhaps not more powerful, but its strength was overwhelming.
But Chu Ran did not move. She could not back down, not even the slightest hint of it.
The Golden Cudgel spun around and returned to her hand.
Wang Wu stared at Chu Ran, its nose twitching. Such a fragrant scent, even better than that fake behind it.
Perhaps…
Wang Wu turned slightly, its tail piercing the thin tube behind the unknown Zerg’s head, and said humbly, “I came late. Allow me to replenish your energy.”
A flicker of unease passed through the unknown Zerg’s mind, but it was soon seduced by the promise of energy. It relaxed and opened the contact point of the thin tube.
Its fragmented inherited memories told it that this was the very purpose of the Zerg Guards.
Chu Ran’s eyes turned cold. She swung her right hand, sending the Golden Cudgel crashing toward the unknown Zerg’s thin tube.
Wang Wu raised a hand to block, its massive fore-scythe clashing against the Golden Cudgel and sending sparks flying. “How rude.”
It looked at Chu Ran, greed and craving flickering in its eyes. “You’re next.”
The unknown Zerg, lost in the surging energy within its body, did not hear this.
Expressionless, Chu Ran activated the Somersault Cloud beneath her feet, instantly sidestepping. With a spin of the Golden Cudgel, she dodged Chong Wu’s right limb and struck directly at the bloated lower body of the unknown Zerg.
Replenishing energy, was it?
Let’s see if you can replenish faster than I can smash!
Behind her, a massive Dharma manifestation appeared. The Battle Victory Buddha’s eyes blazed with golden light as countless golden arrows shot toward the unknown Zerg.
Wang Wu sneered and fully transformed.
Eight-legged Mantis!
A powerful sonic wave shot from its mouth, like boulders crashing into the sea, rippling through the air.
In the distance, Charlie Jing quickly activated the black earring, and a massive shield materialized in front of the group.
Crack, crack—the sound of the shield breaking.
Fortunately, most of the sonic attack dissipated; the remaining energy was not enough to kill them.
The communicator on Lei Jianguo suddenly buzzed urgently. He swallowed the blood in his mouth and pressed it quickly. “You…”
“Did the SS-class Zerg come to you?!” Gao Yuan’s voice was sharp despite his attempt to keep it low.
“Cough, yes…” Lei Jianguo was about to say something when Charlie Jing interrupted, “Request authorization for the High-Energy Antiparticle Annihilation Cannon!”
At those words, everyone around widened their eyes.
The High-Energy Antiparticle Annihilation Cannon could destroy half a planet in one shot. Its exorbitant cost meant the Human Federation had only built three in all these years.
He Qiwu clutched her arm and swallowed hard. Even if they couldn’t survive now, after the High-Energy Antiparticle Annihilation Cannon, she definitely wouldn’t.
Gao Yuan was speechless for a moment. He knew the Seventh Sub-Star couldn’t withstand the Zerg tide led by an SS-class Zerg, but directly blowing up the Seventh Sub-Star… He said with difficulty, “Is there…”
“The Zerg before us are the un-ascended Zerg Queen and the Zerg Guard,” Charlie Jing said, her body covered in wounds, blood flowing endlessly as she knelt on one knee. “We can’t let them leave the Seventh Sub-Star alive!”
“An un-ascended Zerg Queen?!” Gao Yuan’s voice could no longer stay calm. “Impossible! The Zerg cannot have a second queen!”
Fortunately, Chong Wu was fiercely engaged with Chu Ran and paid no attention to the trifles here.
“Yes, cough… that’s the key,” Charlie Jing stared fixedly at Chong Wu, who was shielding the unknown Zerg, grinding her teeth. “It will never allow a second Zerg Queen to exist.”
“It will definitely transfer this un-ascended Zerg Queen’s energy to its true queen.”
Huang Feiying and the others were shocked.
“Once successful, the Zerg Queen will likely undergo a second evolution!”
What would emerge from the evolution of a Zerg Queen already at the peak of power?!
Lei Jianguo’s face turned ashen.
An SSSS-class Zerg!
“If it comes to that,” Charlie Jing’s eyes blazed with a terrifyingly calm flame as she channeled all remaining Spiritual Power into the first button of her shirt, “humanity is doomed!”
A massive humanoid mecha appeared high in the sky.
A pale blue light enveloped Charlie Jing, instantly teleporting her into the mecha cockpit.
Energy converged into the photon cannons on the mecha’s shoulders.
A brilliant white light, like a comet, shot toward Chong Wu and the unknown Zerg.
At the same time, the mecha’s legs ejected intense jets, rapidly flying toward Chu Ran.
Charlie Jing, enduring the pain, threw a Red Energy Stone into the converter beside the console. Her hands flew across the controls, and a transparent tube shot out from the mecha’s left arm.
“Chu Ran, let it go in!”
They had to stall until the Central Star fired the Annihilation Cannon!
No matter who died!
