108: Chapter 108 Star Core Armor! The Shadow of the Zerg Swarm on Mars!

Two Seraphim stepped forward, pressing down on the Silver-Armored Commander's shoulders from the left and right.

Having lost the support of his sternum, the three-meter-tall alien commander collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

Purple blood gushed continuously from his mouth.

His eyes were fixed intently on Chu Feng, filled with nothing but unwillingness and resentment.

The Seraphim showed not a shred of pity.

The high-frequency light blades precisely sliced into the connecting gaps of the armor.

With a crisp "click," the armor's energy lock was forcibly destroyed.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The once incredibly hard silver armor, having lost its energy supply, rapidly liquefied, turning into a puddle of mercury-like liquid that emitted a metallic luster.

The liquid writhed and gathered on the ground, eventually condensing into a silver metal cube the size of a fist.

"Take him to the airlock."

Chu Feng didn't even glance at the alien on the ground.

The Seraphim dragged the alien commander, who was left with only a thin layer of undergarments, and strode toward the waste disposal port at the edge of the mothership.

The heavy isolation door opened.

The Seraphim kicked him into the narrow airlock and then closed the inner door.

"Hiss—"

The external hatch opened instantly.

The powerful pressure differential created an irresistible suction force.

The alien commander's massive body was sucked directly out of the mothership and cast into the cold, pitch-black vacuum of space.

There is no air in space, so sound cannot travel.

Under the absolute low temperature of over minus two hundred degrees and the terrifying vacuum negative pressure, the purple blood inside his body boiled instantly, and then, along with his flesh, froze into a hard block of ice.

A few seconds later, a fist-sized high-speed micro-meteorite streaked past.

"Bang."

The alien commander, frozen into an ice sculpture, shattered into countless tiny ice crystals, drifting forever among the meteorite clusters in the Kuiper Belt.

Chu Feng bent down and picked up the silver metal cube from the floor.

It felt cold to the touch and was very light in weight.

"Master."

Zero knelt to the side and explained softly.

"This is a Level 5 individual liquid battle armor of the Star Core Race. As long as you press it against your skin, it will automatically bind to your genetic code."

"It can withstand high-energy laser irradiation and strong physical impacts, and it can provide up to seventy-two hours of life support in space."

Chu Feng pressed the metal cube onto the back of his left hand.

The cube melted instantly, and the silver liquid rapidly spread along Chu Feng's arm, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye.

The liquid seeped into the interior of his black tactical trench coat, forming a nearly weightless protective layer against his skin.

Not only was there no feeling of weight, but it also made his muscles feel a refreshing coolness.

With a thought, a silver helmet instantly enveloped his head, and tactical analysis data automatically appeared on the visor.

With another thought, the helmet turned back into liquid and retracted beneath his collar.

Very practical.

With this set of armor, coupled with his cell-enhanced body, Chu Feng's current individual survival capability had reached a terrifying level.

"System, salvage all ship wreckage outside the mothership's main control room," Chu Feng ordered in his mind.

Invisible rules descended.

The massive Star Core Race mothership, except for the area where Chu Feng was, completely vanished into thin air.

[Ding! Successfully salvaged the hull of the damaged Level 5 interstellar mothership, damaged engines, and some unexploded ammunition.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 18,000,000 Wealth Points!]

Adding in the previous balance, the account's Wealth Points returned to the thirty-million mark.

War is the fastest way to get rich.

Chu Feng turned and walked toward the black hole-class star destroyer hovering in space.

Dozens of Star Core Race navigators wearing control collars were herded like ducks by the Seraphim, following behind.

He boarded the flagship's command bridge.

"Space warp, return to Earth."

The five massive black star destroyers and ten frigates simultaneously turned their bows.

The dark matter reactors erupted with blinding light, and a massive spatial wormhole formed once again.

The fleet sailed into the wormhole.

A few minutes later, the space on the periphery of Earth's low orbit distorted.

The fifteen steel behemoths returned successfully.

Passing through the stealth defensive net, the fleet docked steadily in the deep space dock of the Interstellar Shipyard.

After finishing the handover of prisoners of war, Chu Feng took a ghost assault ship and landed directly at the Global Financial Center.

The ninety-ninth floor of the building.

This was originally an office area for high-end office buildings, but it had now been completely renovated by clone engineers.

The entire floor space was opened up, and using the geothermal circulation system seized from the European Eden, it had been transformed into a massive Roman-style indoor hot spring bath.

Huge white jade pillars supported the dome, and the bottom of the pool was paved with expensive mosaic tiles.

White mist drifted over the water surface, and the water temperature was kept at a most comfortable forty degrees.

All four sides were panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Soaking in the water, one could overlook the ruins of Los Santos and the distant coastline.

Chu Feng changed into a pair of loose black swimming trunks and walked into the bathhouse, stepping on the warm jade floor.

Water splashed.

The women were already waiting in the hot spring pool.

Alice wore a white two-piece bikini, with pitifully little fabric.

Her fair, delicate skin glowed pink under the steam.

Seeing Chu Feng walk in, she dove into the water like a mermaid, swam to Chu Feng's side, and broke through the surface.

"Master, the water here is so comfortable."

Alice tilted her head back, and water droplets trickled down her golden twin tails onto her full breasts.

Chu Feng stepped into the water and sat down on an underwater jade lounge chair at the edge of the hot spring pool.

Isabella had completely abandoned the reserve of a princess.

She swam back and forth in the clear pool water, surfacing from time to time, looking at Chu Feng with a gaze full of wildness and desire.

Chu Feng leaned back on the lounge chair and closed his eyes.

The warm water washed over his body, washing away the slight fatigue brought by interstellar travel.

"Splash."

The sound of water rang out.

Zero walked into the bathhouse wearing a black one-piece wetsuit.

As a hybrid alien silicon-based and carbon-based lifeform, she was not sensitive to water temperature, but she still walked to the edge of the pool obediently, preparing to serve Chu Feng.

Just then, Anna walked quickly into the bathhouse, holding an encrypted tablet computer.

She was wearing a black professional skirt and did not enter the water; instead, she stood by the side of the pool, her expression somewhat serious.

"Master, there is a new situation."

Chu Feng opened his eyes and took a sip of the champagne handed to him by Antonia.

"Speak."

Anna called up the data projection on the tablet.

A holographic star map of the Solar System immediately appeared in mid-air.

"We just took over the Star Core Race mothership's database, and Zero has decrypted the communication logs inside. We discovered a hidden encrypted distress signal."

Anna zoomed in on the star map and pointed to a red planet next to Earth.

Mars.

"The distress signal was not sent to the Star Core Race's home planet, but was transmitted back from the surface of Mars."

Anna's tone became very grave.

"Before the 7th Fleet entered the Solar System, it had sent a small reconnaissance detachment to Mars in an attempt to establish an outpost."

"But the reconnaissance detachment sent out a highest-level distress signal just after landing. Then, they lost contact completely."

Zero stood in the water and added, "Master. I read the last fragment of video transmitted back by the reconnaissance detachment. There are... living things on Mars."

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

A very blurry video accompanied by strong interference immediately played on the holographic screen.

The video perspective was from a Star Core Race soldier's helmet recorder.

A red sandstorm blotted out the sky and sun.

Several alien soldiers wearing silver armor were firing wildly and fleeing.

In the sky full of yellow sand behind them, countless dense black shadows could be vaguely seen.

These black shadows were massive, with sharp sickle-like limbs and hard carapaces.

They moved extremely fast, instantly pouncing on the two alien soldiers running at the very back, their sharp limbs piercing directly through the Level 5 individual armor, tearing the soldiers into pieces.

In the last few seconds of the video, the camera shook violently.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the image froze on a deep abyss-like mouth covered in barbs and green slime.

The video ended.

The bathhouse was silent.

Seeing the terrifying monsters in the video, the women were all so scared they shrank toward Chu Feng.

Alice hugged Chu Feng's arm tightly, her little face pale.

"Is this the Void Swarm?"

Chu Feng glanced at the screen without any panic.

"Yes, Master," Zero nodded and replied, "This is the most basic unit of the Void Swarm, the Ripper. They are not afraid of a vacuum and can multiply infinitely by devouring ore and metal."

"The final data transmitted back by the reconnaissance detachment shows that deep underground on Mars, a huge high-energy lifeform is gestating. The swarm is devouring the core energy of Mars to hatch their leader."

"If we don't stop them, once the leader finishes hatching, the swarm will descend directly onto Earth via space jumps."

Mars had been occupied by the swarm.

Chu Feng shook the champagne glass in his hand.

One cannot tolerate a threat right under one's nose.

Since the Solar System was already his private territory, the bugs on Mars had to be cleaned out.

Moreover, the swarm was walking system Wealth Points.

The blueprints and materials dropped by a monster that had devoured the core of Mars would be absolutely unimaginable.

"Keep the five star destroyers in the space dock with their main guns charged."

Chu Feng drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp and stood up from the water.

His perfectly strong body was filled with a sense of oppression, highlighted by the water droplets.

"Notify the underground arsenal to load all the stock of dark matter grenades onto the ships. Have ten thousand special troops board the ships."

"We're going to Mars to kill bugs!"
