Chapter 331 Ending the Insect Tide
Chapter 331 Ending the Insect Tide
As numerous warriors from the Third Legion joined the fray, the battlefield situation gradually shifted. The once formidable, seemingly endless Zerg, despite their still-large numbers, were gradually losing ground under the combined blows of humanity's powerful firepower and human wave tactics. This fierce and brutal battle raged for three full days and nights, a protracted period filled with smoke and deafening cries of battle. Every soldier fought tooth and nail to protect Weixinghai City and for survival.
On the battlefield, laser cannons flickered intermittently, mechas shuttled back and forth, Zerg limbs and arms splattered everywhere, blood and mud mingling in a scene of horrific grandeur. Finally, with the last Zerg annihilated, a temporary peace finally returned to this war-torn land. After cleaning up the battlefield, they, exhausted, returned one after another to their courtyards in Xinghai City.
In the living room of the courtyard, Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi sat quietly, the air around them filled with post-war fatigue and tranquility.
Su Siyi frowned slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She broke the silence first and asked softly, "Brother Nangong, how did this insect swarm form?" Her voice was soft and soothing, and it sounded particularly clear in this quiet living room, as if it had stirred up a small ripple in this quiet space.
Nangong Jingming raised his head, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look. He pursed his lips slightly and said slowly: "I've asked people and done some research. This Zerg swarm happens every year, but it's hard to say exactly when it will break out. However, they say that the reason why the Zerg riot and attack humans is because of the most common interstellar radiation in the universe." His voice was low and steady, with a hint of helplessness after exploring the truth, as if this answer could not fully satisfy his curiosity about the causes of the Zerg swarm.
"Interstellar radiation. In other words, these Zerg riots periodically because of radiation." Su Siyi nodded gently and began to analyze. Her eyes were focused and bright, as if she was constructing a picture of the Zerg rioting due to the influence of radiation in her mind, trying to dig out more information from this simple reason.
"It should be. It may be that the radiation amount reaches a certain value, which will cause them to riot. But we don't know what this interstellar radiation is." Nangong Jingming sighed slightly, with a confused look on his face.
For the past few days, this question has been lingering in his mind, like a lingering haze, leaving him feeling both curious and helpless. In his view, this interstellar radiation seems to be a mysterious force hidden in the depths of the stars, manipulating the behavior of the Zerg, and they know very little about it. This sense of the unknown makes him feel uneasy.
"Well, maybe this is a very common threat in the interstellar world! Don't overthink it. Interstellar people should have studied it. When the time comes, we can go and learn more about it." Su Siyi gently patted Nangong Jingming's shoulder, trying to comfort him. Her eyes revealed a hint of optimism and calmness, as if telling Nangong Jingming not to worry too much. The interstellar world is so vast, and there are so many unknowns. They will always have the opportunity to slowly uncover these mysteries.
"Perhaps. I've discovered that we still don't understand a lot about interstellar space. There's so much we need to learn." Nangong Jingming shook his head slightly, a trace of emotion on his face. He looked around the living room, as if he could see the vastness and depth of the interstellar world, while they themselves were like insignificant dust within it, filled with ignorance and confusion about this unfamiliar world. This feeling made him deeply aware that they still had a long way to go in this interstellar world, and they needed to continue learning and exploring in order to better adapt and survive.
"Then let's research more, learn more about this interstellar world, and strive to bring more resources and technology to our planet," Su Siyi said with a smile, her smile as warm and hopeful as the spring sunshine. In her eyes, this interstellar journey is not only an adventure, but also a rare opportunity to learn and grow. They can bring advanced technology and resources back to their home planet and contribute to the development of their homeland.
"Well, we've been tired these days. Let's go back and have a good rest, and then sign up for the mental power test tomorrow!" Nangong Jingming nodded slightly, with a determined look in his eyes.
He knew that in order to improve the strength of the team and allow them to develop better in this interstellar world, applying to the First Military Academy was an important way, and the mental power test was the first step towards this goal.
"Well, I'm going to rest!" Su Siyi stood up, stretched gently, and went straight upstairs to her room. Seeing Qin Zhixuan already asleep, she smiled gently. Then she walked gently to the bed and lay down carefully. Soon she fell asleep. Her breathing was even and steady, as if she was gathering strength for tomorrow's challenge.
Nangong Jingming watched Su Siyi go upstairs to rest, then sat in the living room for a while, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and thought. He quietly reviewed the battle experiences of the past few days and the interstellar knowledge he had learned, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety for the future. After a while, he also stood up and slowly returned to his room, ready to rest well and face the unknown challenges of tomorrow.
The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and gently sprinkled on the streets and alleys of Xinghai City, bringing a touch of vitality and vigor to the city.
Nangong Jingming rose early, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and determination. He then called all the team members together and led them to Xinghai City, where the spiritual root tests were being conducted. This place, also known as the central hub for registration for the major military academies, was bustling with activity on weekdays, and during this application season, it was even more crowded, filled with an atmosphere of intense activity and hectic activity.
When they arrived, they immediately caught the attention of everyone around them. Their team was neat and orderly, and everyone's eyes revealed a kind of determination and confidence. This unique temperament made them stand out in the crowd.
"Hello, are you here to register for the military academy?" A waiter greeted them immediately upon seeing them enter. His eyes revealed a hint of surprise and awe, as if he was overwhelmed by their aura. In the waiter's eyes, Nangong Jingming and his team didn't look like ordinary applicants, but rather like a well-trained army, exuding a unique aura.
