Chapter 403: The Fiance Isn't the Poor One, It's H
ir attacks time and time again. Now, kill him...Huo Ling threw two grenades without looking back. Seeing his comrades on the opposite side trying to rush over to assist him, he immediately shouted, "G...Sheng Nuan decided to go on the trip, and she also planned to bring Sheng Si along.
Shengsi has been practicing with his heavy armor recently, and he's been making great progress. The only thing he lacks is combat experience.
He had hesitated whether to let him go or not, but the apple reminded him of a key time point: in a short while, the Zerg would launch a large-scale attack on Imperial Star just like in the original story.
By then, unless we escape the Imperial Star, war is unavoidable.
It has been deliberately spread that the Zerg are gathering forces to attack the Alliance. According to reliable sources, the Zerg's target is Imperial Star.
The purpose of this is to get the Alliance's attention and prepare people on Emperor Star.
However, the league side quickly came out to deny the rumors, saying that the rumors were unfounded... Denying the rumors is fine, but the most important thing is that they didn't even investigate or verify before coming out to deny them.
Shengnuan tentatively asked Shengsi, if there was really an invasion by the insect race, would he be willing to flee with his family. Shengsi's answer was that he chose to fight.
That's also why when Sheng Nuan decided to help Huo Ling, she went to find Sheng Si and told him what she was going to do and the possible dangers she might face.
But in Shengsi's eyes, there was no hesitation or fear, only eagerness to try.
He even said, "I'll go. Wait for me at home and I'll bring you good news."
Sheng Nuan couldn't help but laugh and cry, directly rejecting his proposal... He would only allow it if he was present, under the condition that he could always ensure Sheng Si's escape no matter what happened.
"Lastly, remind Sheng Si: 'Bro, it's going to be dangerous there.'"
Sheng Si smiled warmly, "If you're afraid of danger, you'll never dare to face it... Nuan Nuan, brother wants to be a truly proud brother for you!"
Sheng warmly paused for a moment, then looked at him and smiled: "I've always been truly proud of you."
He was affluent but never arrogant, never bullying the weak with his strength. He kept a pure heart and was very kind... Such a brother, even if he was the most useless one in others' eyes, to Shengnuan, he was truly wonderful.
The two siblings told Mierong they were going out to play. Mierong didn't think much of it, she just reminded them to be careful.
completely clueless, I don't even know where my own son is going. It's the most dangerous place, and even the opposing sides have abandoned it.
Sheng Nuan and Sheng Si were ready and boarded the spaceship directly... Just shortly after the spaceship departed from the aerospace port, Sheng Nuan received a video call from Huo Ling.
He had some marks on his face, and the background was blurry, so it was unclear where he was.
At this time, Huo Ling and the other two competitors who were on the mission with him, along with their teams, had been trapped in Yishi City by a swarm of Zerg for seven days straight. Their ammunition, food, and water were almost completely gone.
In the video, his eyes were as usual… he was always an actor.
Sheng Nuan asked him, "What are you doing"
"Taking on a mission, huh" Huo Ling looked over and asked, "What are you doing"
Sheng warmly chuckled, her tone casual: "Look at the blueprints... Or did you think your bracelet came from somewhere else"
Ho Ling laughed.
Actually, if it weren't for Sheng Nuan gifting him that set of armor, allowing him to single-handedly slay several insect swarms on multiple occasions, they wouldn't have lasted this long.
He couldn't even imagine how such a suit of armor was designed.
Ho Ling asked with a faint smile in her eyes, "Why did you pretend to be an idiot before"
"Hey, how do you talk like that" Sheng Nuan gave him a withering look: "You, the rebel leader, can act all innocent, so why can't I"
Huo Ling raised an eyebrow: "That's because I was down on my luck back then. I was looking for a place to recuperate and eat, but fate was unkind. I met my fiancée, who turned out to be a white-eyed wolf who wanted to bully me all day long... I didn't beg for pity, I just protected myself. What else could I do"
Sheng warmly snorted: "So, you think the food is that good"
Huo Ling curled her lips: "You are the most cunning and good at acting person I've ever met..."
Shèng wǎn yòu yóu rán: "Mutual respect, mutual respect."
At this time, gunshots rang out from Huo Ling's side. He turned his head and glanced back, then said to Sheng Nuan: "We're done for."
Shengnuan hummed in agreement: "Be careful... don't overdo it. If all else fails, come back and continue playing the victim to beg for food."
Huo Ling smiled, took a long look, and then the video connection was cut off...
He tossed the dead cell phone in his hand. A subordinate beside him hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Boss, why didn't you say anything"
At a critical juncture, the last call he made must have been to someone incredibly special… Yet, he said nothing profound, just casually chatted for a few moments.
While reloading Wu's weapon, Huo Ling nonchalantly said, "If you can go back, just say it face-to-face. If you can't, there's no need to say anything."
The next instant, gunshots erupted outside, and Huo Ling strode out calmly.
This planet was originally called Pisces, because it was closer to the zerg and had a sparse population. However, due to its abundant resources, people lived relatively comfortably... until seven years ago when the zerg launched a large-scale attack and took over this place.
The Alliance sent several groups in but none were able to penetrate. Finally, they chose to abandon the mission and publicly claimed that all humans on Pisces had been killed.
Perhaps no one knows that there are still surviving humans on Pisces Star... hiding and sneaking around, like rats in the ground on a planet occupied by the Zerg, waiting day after day for rescue.
Ho Ling and his group encountered a band of survivors who told them the approximate location of the mother worm. However, this was followed by a massive attack by hordes of insect creatures.
The entire planet had been overrun by the Zerg, their overwhelming numbers and power forcing the defenders to flee in desperation. But as they followed the original plan and entered this deserted, ghost-like stone city, they realized too late that they had walked right into a trap.
The insect creatures across from us weren't the lowest, least intelligent ones. There must be higher-level insects behind them, with intelligence rivaling that of humans. They deliberately designed this to lure all of us into this stone city and then surrounded us...
Huo Ling rushed out of the building and saw that outside, on the streets overgrown with weeds, and on every house, insects were swarming towards them.
"Fire!"
Huo Ling spoke in a low voice, and at the same time, the bracelet on his wrist suddenly covered itself in full armor. Then he flew out with a roar, slamming into the squad of insect creatures at the front, sending them flying. With a blast from his palm cannon, he swept across another group, cutting them in half.
The group of zerg that launched the fiercest assault was instantly slaughtered. The rebel army behind them was shaken and immediately opened fire on those in their rear.
As long as we keep the zerg at bay and maintain heavy firepower, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"This time, luckily we have Fifth Brother, otherwise, we would probably be dead by now!"
The other two competing beside him looked solemn: "His armor won't hold for much longer..."
Any weapon and armor require energy to function, especially the unknown set of armor worn by Ho-Ling. It made slaughtering the insect horde as easy as cutting tofu, but correspondingly, the energy expenditure was enormous.
Soon, Huo Ling suddenly flew back, and when he was still dozens of meters away from the people, his armor energy ran out, and he crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
The armor on his body had returned to a bracelet, and he knew this bracelet was truly useless. He got up and ran toward his own people... Behind him, a large group of bugs roared as they charged towards him.
They know, it is this human being who has killed countless of their companions these days, causing them to fail in their attacks time and time again. Now, kill him...
Huo Ling threw two grenades without looking back. Seeing his comrades on the opposite side trying to rush over to assist him, he immediately shouted, "Get back!"
Their mechs were all out of energy, the disparity between humans and Zerg was too great. Charging in would be a suicide mission.
He knew he probably couldn't escape this, and in that instant, Huo Ling felt as if he was both calm and a little regretful.
In the last call, he shouldn't have stayed silent.
Fortunately, he has already done a lot for the rebel army... With what he got from the Blue Palace, if the rebels fight against the Alliance, things should be much better. Also, the image recording from this time on Pisces star, once released, the Alliance's reputation will surely plummet.
His life was not without accomplishment...
Across from him, his comrades were all red-eyed and tearful.
A blast erupted behind him, flinging Huo Ling backwards… But just at that moment, Huo Ling suddenly heard a clear mechanical voice.
"Hi, little cheat, I'm Xiaohuo classmate...I'm here to help you."
Ho Ling swiveled around and saw a spaceship dive from the sky, opening fire over a large area... Two mechas, one big and one small, crashed down, back-to-back they swept in a circle, beheading all the zerg creatures surrounding them.
Two button-like things flew onto his wristband, clicking into place. In the next instant, the energy-depleted wristband glowed again, and armor rapidly covered him.
Ho Ling's ear was met with a tinny mechanical voice of a young boy: "Hi, little cheat. This is my welcome gift for you, the latest energy compensation device... let's fight side by side."
Huo Ling's armor intelligence responded in a mechanical voice: "Okay..."to be afraid of."This time, luckily we have Fifth Brother, otherwise, we would probably be dead by now!"The other two competing beside him looked solemn: "His armor won't hold for much longer..."Any w...
