My empire of stars

The violent explosion blasted a huge crater hundreds of meters in diameter on the ground, and countless pieces of soil were thrown into the air, blocking the view of Li Mingze and others.

When the dust cleared, Li Mingze and others saw that there were dozens of underground passages extending in all directions under this huge crater.

Yunessa's face froze. These passages meant that most of the Zerg had gone underground, which could also explain why they saw so few Zerg in the city.

This also means that the people hiding in the underground evacuation center are probably in danger!

"What do the Zerg want to do? There are no important resources underground on this planet, and there are no troops of ours on this planet." Li Mingze looked at the passage under his feet in confusion and wondered.

"Your Majesty, this tunnel is the widest. I suspect this is their main road. We might as well follow this tunnel to see what is at the end of it." Stova pointed to a three-dimensional tunnel not far from the crater. The huge hole with a diameter of ten meters said to Li Mingze.

Everyone controlled the jet seats and rushed toward the hole. In a few breaths, the seats landed smoothly on the underground passage dug by the Zerg.

Contrary to what Li Mingze and others thought, the ground of this passage was covered with a layer of unknown mucus, making the ground of the passage extremely smooth.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Mingze, who was walking in front, saw Yunisa's hesitation and urged.

A little scared, Yunessa gritted her teeth and followed Li Mingze and others into the invisible passage.

Along the way, everyone only dared to use the night vision function on their helmets. No one dared to turn on the lights on the main thoroughfare of the Zerg.

Everyone's bodies were covered with the flesh and blood of insects to cover up their human aura.

Suddenly, a vibration came from the front of the passage, and Li Mingze hurriedly made a stop gesture to signal everyone to stop.

As the vibrations became stronger and stronger, a sound like waves came from not far away.

"Everyone, get to the top of the tunnel!" Li Mingze yelled, reaching out and inserting his hands into the compacted soil on both sides of the tunnel and crawling towards the top of the tunnel.

Others hurriedly followed Li Mingze's example and climbed to the top of both sides of the passage.

When they looked down at the ground of the passage, they saw an endless sea of ​​insects pouring in from the front of the passage like a tide.

These bugs press their bellies against the ground, and the limbs on both sides of their bodies slide on the ground like paddles. In this way, all the bugs use the mucus on the ground to slide forward quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the place where everyone was standing was submerged by the sea of ​​​​insects. Yunessa couldn't help but swallow her saliva. If she hadn't hid in time, she should have been submerged by the sea of ​​​​insects now, and she would definitely be chewed to pieces. None left!

"Everyone, don't make any moves, just wait quietly for these bugs to pass!" Li Mingze whispered in the communication channel. Any abnormalities at this time may be discovered by these bugs.

Thanks to the good stealth performance of the power armor and the layer of Zerg flesh smeared on the surface of their bodies, Li Mingze and the others were not discovered by the swarm of insects that quickly passed by.

After more than forty minutes, the swarm of insects disappeared at the end of the passage. Li Mingze and others couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. In the past forty minutes, at least 300,000 insects had passed by!

"There are definitely not as many Zerg soldiers on this planet as we know! The number of soldiers they deployed on this planet must far exceed our predictions!" Li Mingze said to the team members with a solemn expression.

"What conspiracy the Zerg have, we will find out when we reach the top of the passage." Stova nodded and jumped down from the height first.

Everyone let go and fell to the ground, walking quickly towards the front of the passage. However, the road was too slippery, which greatly affected everyone's speed.

After walking for a while, Li Mingze and others simply imitated the Zerg and slid on the ground.

Everyone was lying on the ground, with their legs folded and raised, while a gap was exposed between the legs to observe the situation in front.

Everyone moved their hands hard on the ground, and the eleven people began to slowly accelerate and slide forward.

As time passed, everyone became more and more skilled in their movements, and their gliding speed became faster and faster. The eleven people moved forward quickly in the passage, and the walls on both sides of the passage quickly passed backwards.

Fortunately, although we encountered several waves of insect seas along the way, they were all avoided by a few people who climbed to the top of the passage.

After walking and walking like this for several hours, everyone finally saw a bright light at the end of the passage.

Li Mingze and others stopped gliding and moved forward on foot. As they got closer and closer to the end of the passage, the blue sky with white clouds appeared in front of them.

"It seems that the passage leads to the outside and is not an underground base of the Zerg." Stova shrugged and said to Li Mingze.

"Shhh" Li Mingze made a silent gesture and walked carefully to the end of the passage.

When he looked outside, he saw an endless array of Zerg transport ships.

These transport ships are parked densely in the huge basin that was originally the ocean, and countless Zerg are shuttling between these transport ships.

At the same time, a large number of Zerg warships appeared in the sky from time to time, emerging from the clouds and flying to the ground in the distance.

"This" Yunisa and others also followed, and they couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw the scene outside.

"Why didn't our warships in orbit detect these warships?" Stova asked Li Mingze softly.

"How do I know that the number of Zerg that can be transported by so many battleships is definitely not a small number, it may be hundreds of millions, or it may be billions, or tens of billions!" Li Mingze shook his head and muttered to himself.

"Release the drone for reconnaissance!" Li Mingze turned to a soldier and ordered.

The soldier obeyed the order and pulled out a metal rod from his back. The metal rod began to slowly reshape under the gaze of everyone, and soon a small drone appeared in front of everyone.

As Li Mingze set the route, the drone took off into the sky and flew into the distance.

I don't know whether it was because the drone's stealth system was too good or because the Zerg were unwilling to pay attention to such a little thing, but no Zerg tried to intercept the drone.

The drone quickly flew through the Zerg transport fleet and flew to high altitude, but when it left the ground at an altitude of one hundred kilometers, it found that these warships could not be detected through the scanner.

"These warships seem to have released a certain stance when parked, which allows them to become invisible within a hundred kilometers!" Stova reported to Li Mingzehui while looking at the data from the drone.

"Order the drone to lower its altitude and make statistics on the Zerg warships that have landed on this planet!" Li Mingze nodded and replied.
