Chapter 671, Rescue Tribunal

The swarm of insects that hunted down Qin Zhiping and his subordinates, the Anti-foreign Tribunal, came from the sky in small quantities, and more came from the Zerg troops that already existed on the ‘Taiyuan Star’ where they had made an emergency landing.

The original Taiyuan Star should have been an ordinary industrial world, with a population of 3.8 billion, mainly based on various primary industries.

But now, there is no one here.

All that remains on the planet is devastation.

The Zerg meat carpets all over the ground absorb nutrients from the earth and act as primary decomposers and digesters. Countless worker insects put large quantities of organisms into the digestion pool. Not only humans, but also various insects, rodents and other things that accompany humans on the planet.

The digestion pool transforms these corpses or living things into pure biomass, and a small part is transported to the incubation pool to generate more worker insects and soldier insects. The former is responsible for transporting and swallowing the biomass outside and bringing it back; the latter is responsible for hunting.

Maybe there are still some infected people or even non-infected living people on the planet, but a dozen or so survivors here and there are no different from non-existent.

Oh, the difference is that the Zerg can still search again and find more biomass.

In addition to the biomass sent to the hatchery to generate new worms, the rest, which is also the largest biomass, is sent to the warehouse for storage, waiting for the arrival of the Zerg transport ships.

These warehouses for storing biomass are equipped with high "capillary spires".

These capillary spires seem to have no use now, but once the Zerg transport ships come, they will stay directly on the track, extend the huge biological pipeline from top to bottom, and connect with the tall capillary spires. Then, the biomass, which has been greatly reduced in volume after processing, will be sucked away by tons of Zerg's biological ships and transported to the core area to build a large army and catalyze biological ships.

When the remaining troops of the Anti-foreign Order led by Qin Zhiping arrived at Taiyuan Star, the strategy of the Zerg changed.

They no longer stored most of the biomass, but took it out to hatch the worms; the proportion of corruption was no longer dominated by worker worms, but by soldier worms.

Of course, there was a certain time difference between the change of strategy and the hatching of a large number of worms that threatened the troops of Qin Zhiping and others. The troops of the Tribunal certainly could not eliminate all the threats on the entire planet during this period of time, but as long as they cleared the hatching nests and biomass warehouses near the forced landing site first, the pressure they would bear later would be much smaller.

But at this stage, Qin Zhiping's judgment was wrong.

His view was more pessimistic and his actions were conservative.

Although several elite teams of the Silver Watch were sent to destroy several key points, not enough were eliminated. For more troops, the main focus is still on trying to rescue supplies from the forced-landing starship and trying to get some food reserves from the surrounding city ruins or wilderness - the latter is not very effective. It is good to have some leftovers in the places where the bugs have eaten roughly.

But then again, if the bugs lick the ground carefully for the second time, there will be nothing left.

Another part of the troops was given the task of building fortifications on the spot.

To put it bluntly, Qin Zhiping felt that it was impossible to solve the current problems with the power at hand. He knew that after the forced landing and crash of the starship, although most of them survived, it was nothing more than delaying their lives for dozens of days or months. Without the starship escape, the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 people in his hands would not survive even if they were elite.

All the current practices, to put it bluntly, are to survive a few more days under the premise of knowing that they will die.

Even killing the enemy is not a key thing. If the final result is the victory of the Zerg, then the insects killed in the battle are of little significance. They will recycle the corpses. Although some biomass will be lost in the middle, as long as they are not burned to ashes, the big heads can still be recycled into biomass, and will eventually be hatched into new insects.

However, the final result proves that Qin Zhiping is lucky.

In other words, no matter what the circumstances, it is meaningful to stick to the end.

He armed his men, whether they were originally professional soldiers or sailors who controlled the starship, and even the aunt who was responsible for cooking in the canteen on the starship, and fought a bloody battle with the endless sea of ​​insects evolved on Taiyuan Star for more than two months, and one-third of the population died.

No one ran away.

Everyone knew that it was meaningless to run in the current situation. It was better to stick together and die slowly.

And after these two months, the turning point actually came.

They received an unexpected message from the Alliance.

They claimed to be the Alliance's exploration team, and also said that the Alliance's army was outside four star systems. They hoped that Qin Zhiping and others could hold on and the Alliance would come to rescue them.

The survivors were very motivated!

Although they didn't know when the Alliance would arrive and whether they could hold out until then, at least there was hope!

They began to defend more actively.

And the Alliance came to support them faster than they expected!

A month later, they observed a human fleet appearing in the orbit of Taiyuan Star.

Not strong, just a destroyer leading the team, two frigates, and four patrol ships.

However, this configuration is enough.

In orbit, the Zerg biological ships that chased them and posed a great threat to their ground fortifications in orbit in the past three months were driven away.

Then, the starship threw several heavy artillery at the ground.

The ground support capability of the destroyer is not too strong, but it is enough to temporarily rescue Qin Zhiping's troops.

The transport ship landed on the ground and took away the remaining troops of the Anti-foreign Tribunal in batches.

So far, Qin Zhiping and his men have been saved.

…

For the Alliance, sending a team of ships to a place four galaxies away to rescue the remnants of a northern legion is definitely risky.

But it is not too big.

The biggest trouble is on the way back and forth, but the Alliance is on the defensive on the planet "Nokras" at the moment. It is not that it cannot fight, but it is just waiting for progress on the western front and just attracting and consuming the power of the Zerg.

If he really takes the initiative, Gu Hang is confident that he can repel the enemy forces besieging Nocras.

Not to mention sending a fleet out and then picking them up when they come back.

There is not much pressure.
