Chapter 91 Qiao Shan's Question
The thick purple beam focused on Leviathan again.
This time, Leviathan shrank faster and more obviously.
Suddenly, the thick purple beam penetrated the outer biomass armor of Leviathan.
The swarm of insects suddenly quieted down and stopped attacking Qi Yiming.
After only a dozen seconds, the quiet swarm of insects became agitated again.
But this time the target was not Qi Yiming, but the fellows around them.
Three or two insects fought against each other, and for a while, the swarms in the entire galaxy attacked their fellows around them like crazy.
Then the surviving fellows devoured the bodies of the dead fellows, and then continued to look for the next fellow.
"What's going on?" Ye Lu, who was ready to sacrifice himself at any time, looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and asked Qi Yiming in confusion.
Qi Yiming slumped in his captain's chair, looking at the hellish scene sent back by the battlefield monitor, and was speechless for a long time.
"Qi Yiming... Why did the swarm attacking us suddenly kill each other?" Qiao Shan's voice also came from the communicator.
Qi Yiming recovered and answered: "The queen in Leviathan has been killed. Without the queen, the swarm will fall into chaos. Attacking each other is to produce new queens. This is the rule of the swarm and their instinct."
"How long will this situation last?" Wang Shuhua was more concerned about when the swarm would attack again.
"Don't worry, this swarm will continue to fight in this galaxy until a new queen is born."
Everyone was relieved when they heard it.
"Qiao Shan, how is the excavation going?"
"The excavation has just been completed and we are preparing to lift it..."
"We only need this one sample. The other one is likely to have been destroyed by the swarm." Qi Yiming didn't plan to delay any more time here: "After lifting, everyone else should follow back to the battleship. We have to leave here immediately."
Qi Yiming didn't know how to mention Wei Feng to Qiao Shan at this time.
For this arc generator, Qiao Shan's fleet also lost more than half.
When Qiao Shan's Azure and another frigate returned to space with a huge arc generator, Qiao Shan was stunned.
He saw the wreckage of warships floating everywhere. Some of the larger wreckage had fallen into the atmosphere of the desolate planet, and the tails were splashing on the surface of the planet with long flames.
Qiao Shan seemed to remember something and suddenly shouted in the fleet channel: "Uncle Wei... Where is my Uncle Wei? What happened to the Fury?"
"Qiao Shan... Wei Feng..." Qi Yiming was a little difficult to speak.
"Qiao Shan, calm down... The Fury sacrificed itself to protect the Snow Peak, which was in a weapon charging state, from attack, and several other warships also sacrificed themselves..." Ye Lu choked a little, but still told Qiao Shan roughly what happened.
Qiao Shan looked at the huge arc generator behind the Azure with red eyes, then turned his head and stared at Qi Yiming: "Is it worth it? Just for such a broken weapon, so many people were sacrificed, is it worth it?"
Qi Yiming once questioned himself this question.
"Qiao Shan, don't be excited..." Ye Lu tried to comfort the emotional Qiao Shan.
"Let him talk..." Qi Yiming suddenly stopped Ye Lu and stared at Qiao Shan with red eyes in the communication.
"I advised you to leave quickly at that time... Now it's good, so many people have been sacrificed... Just for such a main gun that is not sure whether it is good or bad, Uncle Wei is dead, Brother Liu is dead, Sister Fan, Little Fatty, Li Weidong... are all dead!" As he spoke, Qiao Shan's voice became low.
Suddenly Qiao Shan raised his head again and looked at the people on the communication screen: "None of your people... died..."
"Qiao Shan, we are a team!! They died unfortunately, and we are also very sad..." Ye Lu spoke again, and this time her voice did not sound very kind.
"Team...haha..." Qiao Shan laughed eerily: "All the dead are my people, and only you, Qi Yiming's former partners, are left. You actually told me that we are a team, haha...what a fucking joke."
Faced with Qiao Shan's questioning, Ye Lu was actually at a loss for words.
Qiao Shan was right, all the warships that sank were brought by Qiao Shan.
But this does not mean that Qi Yiming was deliberately sending those to die. Wang Shuhua, Ye Lu, and Wang Sen were also in danger.
They were also in the team that resisted the attack for the Xuefeng, but their luck was much better than Qiao Shan's people, and the direction they resisted was not attacked by Leviathan.
Most of the sunken warships were caused by the explosive mosquitoes released by Leviathan.
But the situation of their respective warships was not much better, with pitted hulls, twisted main guns, and cabins that were still emitting flames and were pierced by the swarm of insects.
If the war hadn't stopped, the Xuefeng would have had the energy to repair them, and these warships might have sunk long ago.
But Qiao Shan didn't care about this. He was paranoid and thought that Qi Yiming was deliberately sending his people to death.
"Qi Yiming, we have done our best for your broken cannon! We have made up for the time you saved me in the Human Federation. From today on, you go your way and I go mine..."
"Bullshit..." Before Qiao Shan could finish his words, Qi Yiming roared in the communicator: "Watching them sacrifice themselves one by one, wouldn't I be sad? They are dying for me... But given the situation at the time, if we wanted some of us to leave this galaxy alive, there was no other way to cause the swarm to riot except for the Leviathan of the Snow Peak sniping the swarm."
Qi Yiming took a deep breath: "If possible, I would rather be the one who died..."
But in Qiao Shan's opinion, these explanations were Qi Yiming's excuses for his mistakes. They had the opportunity to leave this galaxy in advance and avoid this swarm.
But it was because of Qi Yiming's stubbornness that he had to get the sample of the arc generator that led to the current situation.
But is this cannon really as important as Qi Yiming said? Is it so important that human lives have to be used to fill the bottomless pit of the Zerg?
What Qiao Shan didn't know was that the arc generator was a weapon developed by the former Human Federation after years of fighting against the Zerg.
It only showed up on the battlefield because the human race was doomed at that time, so it fled with the human fleet and was eventually abandoned on this desolate planet.
But it was that one appearance, one launch. After the arc with violent energy entered the Zerg, it killed tens of thousands of insects in an instant after conducting to the crowd.
Even the most powerful main gun of mankind at that time could not kill tens of thousands of insects with one shot.
The range of the arc attack was different from the range of the main guns on the warships at that time.
The arc attack was an attack from the inside out, that is, the arc penetrated into the body of the insect through the biological armor of the Zerg and killed the insect from their body, but the external biological armor of the insect was not damaged at all.
This ability to ignore the armor of insect swarm creatures was a capability that no human weapon had at the time, which was why Qi Yiming insisted on getting the sample.
He was not sure whether humans today could still create an arc generator with the same characteristics after obtaining the technological heritage.
Today's state is very bad, and there may only be this chapter. Please forgive me...
