Tempest of the Stellar War
Page 379“Damn, I got hit by bird sh*t again?! How am I this unlucky?” Yan Xiaosu shook his head. “The heck, the sky suddenly turned cloudy… is it going to rain… Ugh, Ouch! My legs, ouch…”
Suddenly, Yan Xiaosu felt a sudden jump in his heart, and his expression changed dramatically.
Wang Zheng was almost unable to hold on. He was not afraid and would not give up. However, the tide of bugs was endless. He was unclear as to the number that he had killed, but it was just merely the tip, as even more bugs streamed towards him, with even stronger classes amongst them.
On the other image, Max from the Clark Star had managed to complete his B-class mission. This was also something worthy of celebration, but no one was paying him any attention at this time.
“This kid is still enduring. He has the determination of our Aslanian people!”
“If he lives, Manalasuo is willing to pay anything to bring him over!” Bole loudly said. This kid was holding on to the secret of the Golden Wheel Battle King. If everyone in his army could operate it like that, they would be able to rule the world; even Aslan would not count for anything.
But in the eyes of everyone, they could sense the reactions of the Golden Wheel Battle King slowing down, and it was struck by the bugs quite a few times. The energy shield was also almost consumed. I’m afraid…
This was his limit. Wang Zheng also knew, but he really wanted to live on.
Curiously, the bugs’ assault had also slowed down, as if…
“Not good, it’s the queen!”
In the center of a new formation, the queen bug had appeared. The Zerg had a high intelligence, and it was obvious that she had garnered an interest in this human, wanting him as a nutrient.
However, as soon as a gap appeared at this moment, Wang Zheng suddenly focused, as he saw the only trace of hope.
He was gritting his teeth so hard that they were already bleeding. He wanted to live!!!
Boom…
The entire mech sent out a shockwave. Instantly, the queen bug let out a piercing scream, and all the Zerg immediately formed a shield around her.
And Wang Zheng acted at this instant.
The final strike – Icy Wheel Storm!
Ice cold air started emitting from around the four golden wheels. Two frozen wheels roared out and pierced through the Zerg in front of them. All the zerglings who had touched the wheels were sliced into pieces, leaving a trail of frost on the ground.
Within two seconds, the wheels had penetrated through more than five hundred meters, and the queen zerg who had been protected by countless zerglings hurriedly attempted to escape. However, before it moved… it had been sliced apart by the golden wheels.
The whole Devil Canyon quietened down. In an instant, the bugs seemed to be cockroaches who had met their mortal enemy, and they ran away while emitting piercing cries, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
What remained on the battlefield was only a field of corpses, and the only one standing upright was the Golden Wheel Battle King.
The two transport ship pilots who had witnessed the scene were absolutely speechless.
“Mon…. ster. This is not a human, he’s a demon king…” Mallorca was dumbstruck. Even though he was a warrior, witnessing such a battle was not good for his sanity.
The descent of the demon king!
At this time, the troops had still not arrived…
Suddenly, Meng Ao rushed forward with a shout. However, he was perhaps too hasty, and his head collided with the frame of the door. Yet he did not care about it, and he rushed forward after picking himself up.
At this instant, the hall was absolutely silent. Everyone’s’ minds only had a single thought… in the subsequent rounds, what if they met with him?
They shuddered collectively and did not want to think further. This would definitely be the most painful thing that could ever happen.
The second person to rush out was surprisingly Bole. Nobody knew what this general from Manalasuo had in mind.
In fact, everybody’s hearts did not think that way.
A few minutes later, the roar of the engines could be heard, signaling the arrival of the battleships. One by one, they landed from the sky, but once they saw the current battlefield, everyone turned silent.
Was this hell?
The various teams that were resting at the base camp had also heard the movement of the troops. Such a large scale mobilization could not be hidden from others. Although no one was aware of what had happened, they could sense the excitement amongst the group of youngsters.
Perhaps it was a demonstration of some form of mobilization. If it was something that commanded the attention of the entire camp, it was indeed something that every soldier present should work towards.
Commanding a thousand troops and being recognized for your achievements.
Wang Zheng was personally lifted off the transport ship by Meng Ao, with the medical staff performing emergency treatment. Meng Ao did not know what else to say, but only had a single thought: “He must survive, he has to survive, no matter the cost!”
What Meng Ao saw in Wang Zheng was not similar to how the Solar System viewed him. He saw the hope of the Solar System’s revival. Hidden within the depths of every human’s soul, that thought that could not be spoken out loud. When would the Earth finally return to the “core” of the Milky Way? The disobedient kid in front of his eyes had allowed him to see this possibility.
The combat medics who were fully understanding of Meng Ao’s feelings calmly stated, “Sir, he… seems to be fine, only unconscious at the moment. His life is not in danger at the moment, but we’ll do a full check once we arrive. Don’t worry about it.”
After hearing this, Meng Ao staggered, and he couldn’t help but smile. “This little punk, he sure is hardy.”
The three combat medics were also full of amazement. They had seen numerous horrors, as well as numerous slaughters on the battlefield. “Which department is he from? Why is he the only one left?”
“I’ve not heard of any movement in the military.”
Meng Ao mildly smiled. Not even the old men at the headquarters had seen such a situation before, not to mention these few girls. Thinking back to their expressions, Meng Ao was full of satisfaction. A pity, but also, luckily, Lie Wuqing had not been here to observe.
With Wang Zheng as their trump card, the Solar System Federation would be able to achieve great results in the IG competition. They had already achieved a historic breakthrough, and now the import thing was to allow everyone sufficient time to rest.
Meng Ao was fundamentally a general, so he rapidly composed himself. It was time for the next part of the plan.
Although Meng Ao had left, the rest of the generals were still staring at the replay on the screen. No matter how many times they watched, they were still filled with a sense of incredulity. Especially for Bole, the general of Manalasuo, he seemed like a rabid sheep, his whole person in a state of madness. The look in his eyes towards the Golden Wheel Battle King was like meeting his first lover. This meant that there were no problems with its design, but it was the operation of the mech itself.
Other that Meng Ao, Bole was the most concerned with Wang Zheng. Once he heard that Wang Zheng was in no life-threatening danger, he was unable to control his emotions and punched the air.
“This kid surprisingly did not die?”
“Hoho, Earth has given birth to such a weird kid. There will be a show to watch in the IG this time round.”
Everyone gradually regained their calm. Even so, they had no relations to him, so they stopped acting as if they had never seen the world before. However, the naked expressions in their eyes were unable to be hidden.
It was uncertain if this kid would be able to recover in time. If he was able to participate in the subsequent rounds, whoever met him would have to slowly reconsider.
However, they believed that the chances of him recovering were not huge, but even this would be considered sufficient.
The performance of Earth was indeed beyond the expectations of Major General Rodriguez. However, this performance was a good thing for them. After all, they were currently in their honeymoon period, with both sides furthering their strategic alliances, but Aslan was still a little hesitant. After all, the strength of the Solar System was still a bit weak, and with the close proximity of both countries, it was easy for friction to occur, and it would cause them to lose out heavily.
Unless these guys from the Solar System were acting as pigs in order to catch the tiger.
Wang Zheng’s single fight had given them many things to consider.
However, these situations were limited to those present in the room. At the very least, during the period of IG, no one was allowed to spread any rumors, or else they would bear all responsibilities. More importantly, the ones present were all head figures, and no one wanted to embarrass each other.
Time inched by slowly. Occasionally, someone would pass by, chattering noisily, but it fell onto the defeated team like a hammer on their heads.
When a knock on the door broke the silence, everyone looked at each other. Who would come in at this time?
Swoosh…
The automatic door opened up, and a Second Lieutenant from Aslan walked in. “Are you the members of the Solar System team?”
Achilles stood up and asked, “Yes, I’m Achilles. May I know what’s the issue?”
The second lieutenant smiled. “Let me tell you the good news. Amongst the thirty-two defeated teams, there were two that completed the revival round. One was Max from the Clark Star, the other was Wang Zheng from your Solar System. Congratulations, you are able to continue into the next round of competition.”
After a stunned silence from the room, a loud cheer erupted. This surprise was too sudden, even Lear had stood up and shouted out in joy. But once he realized that he had lost his composure, he immediately sat down. The rest simply ignored him, and Lie Guang had even torn his shirt. This was definitely a comeback.
“Where’s Wang Zheng? That guy’s really awesome!” Lie Guang shouted.
“Wang Zheng and Max were both injured, so they are currently undergoing treatment. However, they are allowed to be absent from the next round of the competition. We hope that you can perform in their stead and cherish this hard-earned opportunity.”
After finishing his speech, the second lieutenant immediately left, but the cheers in the room grew even louder. Lear and Achilles looked at each other. This was a chance that they could not let go.
Lear clenched his fist. No matter who obstructed him, he would kill them off! He had to be even more merciless. If they had dumped Zhang Shan, they would not have been in this mess. What he hated the most was the inability to control his fate!
Meng Tian and Zhang Runan hurriedly went to find Zhang Shan. His flesh had already regrown within the capsule, and he only needed a little bit more nutrients to replenish his body. However, his mental state still remained subdued.
“You guys are here. You shouldn’t be looking at such a shameful image of me,” Zhang Shan said.
“We’re not here to visit you. We’re only here to tell you that the next round is about to start, so you better crawl out of there soon,” Zhang Runan said.
“Crawl what, weren’t we… Wait a minute, what are you saying???” Zhang Shan suddenly widened his eyes.
“Yep, Wang Zheng completed it, he’ really done it!” Meng Tian exclaimed.
