Chapter 1478: Rescue at a Loss
What surprised Qu Jianlei a little was that the locusts were extremely obsessed with enemies with light attributes.
Our starship fired desperately behind the Yuanying Locust, and almost hit the gap many times, but the two of them still stared at the fortress.
However, the shapes of the two locusts became more and more erratic, and they would occasionally cast a spell behind them.
The starships had chased to a distance of seven or eight thousand kilometers, and it was inconvenient to get any closer, and the two locusts had no interest in turning around.
What’s particularly outrageous is that the spells they cast on the starship are not actually traceable!
In other words, they think the starship behind them is not worth any extra attention.
Until one moment, the laser cannon hit the crack of the locust that used the ice cone.
The ice locust groaned and threw three ice cones in succession to the back.
These three ice picks finally have a locking function, which makes them a little more serious!
But Dorgan and Bentley on this starship also brought a lot of talismans.
They threw out four ice cone talismans in succession, and two ice cones were annihilated instantly.
The remaining ice cone suddenly lost control and disappeared into the depths of space.
It turned out that Xiaohu felt that the data had been collected almost enough, but the other party actually started to lock on it, so it got angry.
The starship fired four lasers in succession, accurately hitting the gaps of the Ice Cone Locust - even calculating its rolling posture.
Although the cargo starship's attack power is very weak, the laser cannon's targeting is too strong.
After four consecutive shots hit its soft spot, the Ice Cone Locust instantly turned into a charred ball.
The people on the fortress also observed this scene. Wu Zhen couldn't help but gasp, "Shh... This accuracy is amazing!"
Qu Jianlei shook his head and said calmly, "It's just luck."
When the Fireball Locust discovered that its companion had been killed, it could no longer pursue, so it turned around and headed straight for the starship.
According to Qu Jianlei's later analysis, this locust may not necessarily be a rabbit that mourns the death of the fox, and he believes that revenge on the opponent is more important than chasing the light attribute.
The most important thing is that the locust is also very clear that if there is only one of it left, even if it catches up with the fortress, it will be unable to destroy the opponent.
Not to mention that it would be almost impossible for it to catch up with the fortress.
So it turned around and focused on dealing with the starship behind it.
Dorgan was prepared for this reaction, but this time, she didn't plan to use the talisman.
She informed the boss of her decision through Xiao Hu's clone, and the boss responded quickly - "The talismans must be used sparingly."
In response to the continuous fireballs fired by the opponent, the starship behind no longer dodged in vain, but directly opened the vacuum door.
There was pitch darkness inside the vacuum door, and then a series of fireballs were fired out.
The people on the fortress couldn't confirm how many people were inside the vacuum door, but judging from the properties of the fireball, there should be two people!
One person's fireball is larger and yellower, while the other person's fireball is smaller and whiter, with very different styles.
These fireballs cannot offset the locusts' fireballs one to one, but two to one or three to one, it can basically be done.
In other words, the cultivation of these two awakened ones with fire attribute should be supreme.
It is not strange to have two supreme fire attributes in one force, after all, it is one of the five major attributes.
But it is really rare for just two Supremes to dare to fight against a Nascent Soul Locust - the Alliance calls it above the Supreme.
Qu Jianlei also secretly sighed that Duogan's method of impersonating two supreme beings was really quite skillful, and he almost believed it.
Then he issued an order, turned around and chased, helping the other party to kill the locust.
There was another round of cheers from inside the fortress. To be honest, the escape just now was too passive.
Especially now that we have reached a relatively safe area, and the other party is still chasing us relentlessly, who wouldn't be angry?
Now we are going to cooperate with friendly forces to encircle and kill this hateful alien race. Everyone really agrees with this!
When the locusts discovered that the fortress being chased in front had turned back, they immediately panicked.
It is very clear that either side can basically fight against it.
Especially the huge monster that was just being chased. If it opened fire at full power, it would not even be its opponent.
It and its companions dared to pursue relentlessly, firstly because they hated their natural enemies, and secondly because they were betting that the other party would not dare to get into a fight.
Now it was two against one and was totally no match for the opponent, so it closed the gap between its wings and ran away decisively!
After closing the gap, its speed increased slightly again.
This speed still can't escape pursuit, but at least... it's more resistant to attacks!
Cheers rang out again from inside the fortress, and someone cried with joy, "These devils also know how to be afraid?!"
To be honest, the shadow these alien races bring to people is really too great.
Not only are they numerous and powerful, but the key is that they are also fearless and unafraid of death. Such an enemy can easily make people despair.
What’s even more tragic is that the two sides are not from the same ethnic group at all, so surrendering is impossible!
Now, it turns out that being fearless does not mean that one is truly not afraid of death, but that one has not reached the end of one's rope!
Wu Zhen couldn't help but sigh, "The locusts above the Supreme Being all know how to escape. This discovery... is of great significance!"
Qu Jianlei snorted, "As long as they are intelligent, who wouldn't be afraid of death? It's just that they didn't hurt me before!"
Attacked from both sides by the fortress and the starship, although the Fireball Locust has a hard shell, its speed is too slow.
Under the coverage of numerous firepower, the defense was quickly broken.
Then, in just over twenty seconds, it blew up.
The main control systems of the small lake and the fortress both discovered something: "The energy response of this locust has obviously decreased in the last seven or eight seconds!"
In other words, the locust's own energy reserves are limited - does this seem like nonsense?
In fact, the locusts they had encountered before had limited endurance for fast flight and spent most of their time living in trees.
These two locusts are at the Nascent Soul level, with super endurance and the ability to continue fighting, so much so that everyone ignores this point.
However, they lost too much energy during the pursuit and attack, and finally ran out of energy.
Simply put, Nascent Soul-level locusts are not invincible. As long as they can hold on and fight a protracted battle, there is still a possibility of winning.
Anyone can be a wise man after the event, but without facts to support it, speculation will always be just speculation!
The sudden drop in the energy of the Fireball Locust before it exploded provided a solid basis for everyone.
So this is still a big gain.
Then, Wu Zhen stared at the body of the exploded Fireball Locust and asked carefully.
"You have already captured the body of the Ice Cone Locust, but this Fire Ball Locust is in pieces... Can you please not give it to us?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "You can see that we are also very good at targeted research and development!"
"I know that," Wu Zhen laughed dryly.
"But if I leave this time, my self-funded project will be used as a fuss, and I might even be charged with desertion without permission!"
He was really worried. Self-raised projects are not a big deal. Local governments have a certain degree of autonomy and it will be fine as long as the economic explanation can be provided.
However, since the alliance faced the alien race, it has been losing ground until now, so much so that the official dare not release the information.
His only bright spot will definitely be scanned by countless people with magnifying glasses.
When everyone found out that he was able to escape and even kill the Supreme Being of the alien race, the reason was that he secretly disobeyed orders and built a discontinued project...
How do the senior officials of the alliance feel about this?
Not to mention Higgins's resentment, he had already fully felt it when he escaped from Baozhi Star.
As it turned out, Wu Zhen was not the kind of straightforward soldier, and he even found other reasons.
"Only by guaranteeing my right to speak can I better conceal your situation..."
Qu Jianlei nodded, "Okay, we'll take a few pieces for analysis, since it's already been blown to pieces."
"Of course there is no problem with this," Wu Zhen smiled and nodded repeatedly.
After collecting the corpses, Qu Jianlei and his men decisively said goodbye and headed for the opposite starship.
Wu Zhenming knew that he couldn't keep him, but considering the mood of the people in the fortress, he still spoke up and said, "How about I add some more money?"
Of course, this is not really a matter of money. The rescue costs alone amounted to hundreds of billions.
So he explained that the money only represents a token of thought, the key is that without your protection, everyone feels unsafe.
The small fortress was not seriously injured and still had considerable combat effectiveness, but in any case, it was indeed in poor condition.
In response to this request, Qu Jianlei said that we still have several starships left in the warehouse of your military factory.
If you feel unsafe, you can send out starships and let them guard your return.
Anyway, there are enough people in this small fortress to drive the starships, there are energy blocks if needed, and there is also sufficient ammunition.
Watching the other party board the opposite starship, Wu Zhen commanded the small fortress and flew with them for 500,000 kilometers.
Finally, the small fortress sent out a farewell signal and watched the other party disappear from sight.
Then Wu Zhen calmed himself down and issued an order.
"Okay, let's go to the warehouse. The fortress is not in a good condition right now... Arrange for the starship operators first, and make sure they leave as soon as possible."
But when they entered the warehouse, they were still shocked.
There were eight more starships in the warehouse, seven of which were damaged and two of which could fall apart at any time.
After inspection, it was found that it was basically impossible for two starships to achieve jump, and one was questionable.
In other words, apart from the intact one, there were only two damaged starships that could barely accompany the jump.
The key point is that judging from the traces of damage, they were all caused by locust magic or black lines.
The weapon systems of the eight starships all looked like they had just been used.
This result shocked the testers.
Wu Zhen also understands technology. After watching the two starships, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's hard to believe how they managed to get back here... What kind of battle did these people go through?"
Next, Wu Zhen chose to transfer to the Bitao Star in the Dome Star Region.
