510: Swarm vs Fleet

Zhao Ling died.

He died outside the City that symbolized victory in the eyes of Humans, died in the biting wind, died upon the shattered land under the setting Sun...

Half-kneeling with his blade, he did not fall even in death.

This mottled canvas of Heaven and earth was like a period, freezing his life in place.

And Humans themselves didn't even know that the Savior who desperately protected them had died in battle!

Countless people, facing the arrival of Zombies, still filled their wails with accusations against Zhao Ling!

"Where is our Savior?! Where is that dictator?! Why haven't we seen him at all? Did he run away?!"

"Bastard! He ran off by himself and left us in this hell!"

Amidst the panicked shouts of the populace, before long, they were heavily pounced upon and bitten by the bloodthirsty Zombies!

The sounds of crying and shouting were a complete mess.

Standing tall above the sky.

The Pioneer Leader, along with the surrounding Pioneers, quietly watched the scene below.

The changing of Civilizations is inseparable from death.

And upon the mountain of corpses and sea of blood of this dying Human Civilization, the most brilliant flowers of their Civilization will grow.

The Pioneer Leader's emotions remained calm and unperturbed.

However, at a certain moment, his expression suddenly paused.

The Civilization's long-distance fleet sent an urgent message!

"Swarm?"

Hearing this word in the message, the Pioneer Leader immediately connected to the fleet's view.

Their interstellar fleet was under attack!

...

In the dark Universe.

The Zombie Civilization's long-voyage fleet was approaching the distant Solar System at a low-energy speed, 1/100th the speed of light.

From their position in space, they could already see the distant Sun.

The Pioneers had already reached that planet. This was the most powerful batch of weapons from their Civilization. This time, there would be no problems!

Once the Pioneer plan was implemented, everything would be settled!

And their fleet could build their Civilization there.

Once they developed to a certain level, they could start figuring out how to establish a connection between their Mother Star and that star system, taking steps towards a greater Tier 4 Civilization!

Just as the fleet's leader was envisioning this, he suddenly discovered a giant celestial body appeared in the space in front of their fleet!

No, not just one!

One, two, three, four, five...

Nearly a hundred celestial bodies in a row, clearly appearing like the nest of some kind of creature!

"Wormholes! These are Wormholes!"

"Not naturally born, but created by intelligent life!"

The fleet quickly measured the composition of these celestial bodies.

They further discovered that these Wormholes were not products naturally derived in the Universe, but were manufactured!

Furthermore, the existence that created these Wormholes had a clear purpose: them!

This was a product only Tier 4 Civilizations could touch! Could it be that they had been targeted by a Tier 4 Civilization?!

Upon receiving this information, the leader immediately issued an order.

"Destroy all information about the Mother Star system within the fleet!"

"Increase ship power to maximum speed, escape from here!"

The leader clearly issued the command.

Destroying Mother Star related information was to preserve the tinder, to prevent the opposing Civilization from finding their Mother Star behind them through them.

And escaping at the fastest speed was the only thing they could do.

Tier 4 Civilization, such an existence, the leader deeply knew the gap!

Everything happened too quickly.

Their only course of action was to flee!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The moment after the hundreds of Wormholes stabilized, the endless Swarm army instantly covered everything, occupying the entire starry sky!

The number of Swarm was too great.

One connected to another, completely enveloping the interstellar fleet that was about to escape!

"They actually... intend to keep all of us!"

The leader looked at the Swarm in front of him, which completely enveloped them like a planet, and issued another order.

"Attack! Break through the entanglement of these Swarm and escape!"

"Boom!"

Energy cannons directly bombarded the sea of Swarm.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Pathogens flew out from the fleet, bombarding the Swarm in front of them!

Such powerful attack methods were enough to instantly annihilate Human Civilization!

Only.

When these attacks landed among the Swarm, it was like wooden spears hitting an iron shield, not causing the slightest ripple!

Perhaps tens of millions of Swarm were shaken to death.

But compared to the Swarm before them, ten million Swarm were truly not worth mentioning!

As the pouring flood of Swarm poured back in.

Thousands of fleets were utterly destroyed!

After the Swarm Larva passed, not even debris remained of the shattered hulls!

Within the Swarm.

In the most conspicuous position, Nie Fangping, whose consciousness resided in a Human body, slowly revealed his figure.

Before launching the attack, he had already determined that the peak strength of the Zombie Civilization was the Pioneers who had transformed into interstellar weapons through virus gene research!

After understanding the upper limit of this Civilization, Nie Fangping no longer hesitated and directly launched an offensive against the Zombie Civilization!

In fact, as early as two months ago, after the Crawler template appeared, he could have taken action against the Zombie Civilization.

In these past two months, he merely made the foundation of his Swarm army more profound.

Now that he was taking action, there was no longer any need for reservations!

"A Man... Humans?!"

When he saw Nie Fangping in mid-air, the leader of the Zombie Civilization did not react for a moment.

"Leader, this A Man is one of the Saviors of Humans!"

The person behind him quickly checked Nie Fangping's relevant information and hurriedly reported.

"Human Savior?" The leader was puzzled: "Excluding the two spies we planted and the one killed by Human nuclear weapons back then, Humans only had one Savior left."

"And just recently, that last Savior also died."

"How could this A Man be a Savior?"

"He is the Human from thirty years ago who should have died under nuclear weapons!" The intelligent life reporting the information transmitted the message into the leader's mind: "This was the Human Savior we considered the most threatening back then."

"That nuclear weapon did not bury him!"

"And judging by the situation, he faked his death back then!"

"Using this to escape our sight, he began his steady development, and even over these years, he has developed Wormholes!"

After learning this information, the leader looked at the A Man in the starry sky ahead, feeling utterly shocked.

An A Man could actually have such means!

Whether it was faking his death to deceive them, or the height reached by his stable development over the subsequent thirty years.

Any single point completely deviated from the Zombie Civilization's expectations!

"Energy conservation. To cultivate so many Swarm, it would require at least planetary-level energy. How could he possibly obtain this kind of energy?"

"Even hollowing out Blue Star wouldn't be enough!"

"Furthermore, Blue Star hasn't truly suffered any significant loss. So, where did this guy's energy to create such a Swarm come from?!"

Amidst these questions, the leader suddenly realized with a shock.

He connected his consciousness to the ship's terminal and brought up a picture.

It was a picture of other planets in the Solar System.

These pictures flashed before his eyes, finally settling directly on Mars.

It was different. The Mars photographed recently looked completely different from the Mars of over thirty years ago!

On the current Mars, there were still meteorite craters one after another.

But these meteorite craters were different from the deep, cracked appearance of the ground before.

The current meteorite craters were completely black!

It was as if the entire Mars was just a shell, empty inside!

He absorbed the energy of Mars!
