Liao Qiting was not there, Shenks and the others were still on their way back, so Lu Jin became the temporary commander of the fortress.

"Confine Liao Qicheng's fleet in space, so they can't find a chance to return to land!" Lu Jin shouted to Shenks in an impromptu call, "Once the Zerg return to land, they can launch a sonic attack, and their carapace Very hard, very difficult to attack!"

"It's too bad in space!" Shanks took the time to yell at Lu Jin while operating the mecha attack, "These people don't get tired at all! And that bastard Liao Qicheng has hidden so many firepower weapons! He I’ve been planning to stick a knife in the back on the way back!!”

"Then you have to hold on!" Lu Jin really regretted that he didn't practice his lung capacity well, and gasped after shouting a few words, "I only have a dozen or so bugs here, and it's already very difficult to fight! They are almost invulnerable!"

"Find someone to think about it—!" There was a sudden loud noise from Shenks' end, and then even Shenks' voice was intermittent, "I can't tell you, you dare to sneak up on me!! Wait for me!"

Lu Jin turned off the communication, opened other channels, and asked the "insect exterminator" troops on the scene, "How is the situation?"

The voice of the non-commissioned officer on the other end was also very vague, "Second Lieutenant Lu... We have used all the methods we can, but the effect is still not very good. If this continues, we will not be able to suppress them! They will break into the command center! "

Lu Jin had previously ordered to drive all these bugs out, try to drive them within a certain range, and concentrate their firepower to destroy them.It's a pity that no matter how much firepower they use, it has no effect. The high-temperature cannon, cannon, and particle cannon take turns. The vitality of these insects is desperately tenacious, and they are still alive!

"Where is the hospital?" Lu Jin asked the person in charge of another team.

"All the medical staff have been evacuated, and there are no casualties." The person in charge replied, "Thanks to Colonel Ivan's preparations, he gathered everyone to the escape route during the riot. They are now placed in the third base. , five kilometers from the command center."

"They must be protected by someone at all times. If the Zerg break through the first line of defense, move them to a farther place and be ready to send them back to the inner galaxy at any time." Lu Jin ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

While staring at the Zerg on the fortress, Lu Jin paid attention to the situation at Shenks' side, and tried to contact Liao Qiting without giving up, but the latter still did not respond.

It is useless to be impatient at such a time, the most important thing is to solve the immediate crisis... Lu Jin kept telling himself in his heart that even if he was worried about Liao Qiting, he would not be able to increase his safety, so he might as well do what he should do .

However, no matter what Lu Jin thought, he didn't think that Liao Qiting would be the kind of person who would chase after the defeated soldiers after a complete victory.

We have been fighting in space for two weeks, and the food and fuel are almost at their limits. In this state, everyone knows that we should not venture into further space, not to mention the danger, and the few resources left cannot support us. Live such risky action.

Lu Jin is very clear about the resources allocated on Liao Qiting's battleship, because he arranges all the logistics arrangements in the legion. He knows very well that the food and fuel on Liao Qiting's battleship can only last for less than three days.

It has been nearly [-] hours since we fought against the Zerg, and Liao Qiting can last for less than two days. Even if he returns at full speed, he may not be able to return to the fortress before the food runs out. The more Lu Jin thinks about it, the more he dare not think about it. I can pray silently in my heart.

——Liao Qiting always has his reasons for what he does.

"The first line of defense is about to fail..." The soldier monitoring the battle at the command center reported, "Second Lieutenant, do you want to activate the second line of defense?"

"Activate the second line of defense and let the third team retreat within the second line of defense." Lu Jin thought for a while and said.

The soldier looked puzzled, "But in this way, what if those Zergs run around and disperse and destroy other equipment in the fortress?"

"No, there should be only one target for them—the command center we are in now." Lu Jin rubbed his sore brows, opened his eyes again and said, "The Zerg Queen is commanding them from a distance, it is impossible for nothing to happen." Big or small, the fewer instructions the better, she will pick the most important thing to do first."

"Isn't the queen on this fortress?" the soldier asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"It's definitely not there. The Queen's body is very fragile. She is very afraid of death, and she will never expose herself to danger. She may not even be in the outer galaxy, but she has found the safest place to hide." Lu Jin judged road.

"The queen is hiding. Doesn't that mean that after killing this batch of Zerg, there is a possibility of meeting the second or third batch? Then when will it be big!" the soldier wailed.

Lu Jin also sighed, "So I have reported the situation here to the military department, I hope they will pay attention."

But there is little hope. At present, they only have the information of the parasitic soldiers. It is a pity that they did not get the picture of the Zerg tearing the human skin at the moment of the riot. The surveillance video of the hospital can no longer be recovered. There is no evidence, only unilateral Guessing, those in the military department would hardly believe it, not to mention that in order to please them, Liao Qicheng distributed more than half of the resources obtained from Hawthorn Star to the military department, and all the legions received the benefits.

Judging from Liao Qicheng's performance, he really didn't look like a person parasitized by the Zerg, and the only abnormal physical data of the wounded could also be said to be fake by them.

In fact, Lu Jin had already sent the materials when the incident happened, but unfortunately, after nearly 20 hours, there was no reply from the military department.

There is no other way, for now, we can only focus on the present. As for whether the inner galaxy is also threatened by the Zerg, Lu Jin can no longer control it.

"Second Lieutenant, there is an urgent call request from Mr. Lewis!" A soldier suddenly called out.

Lu Jin walked over quickly, "Turn on the call."

Lewis' face appeared on the screen, "I heard that your situation is not very good!"

"I can still hold on." Lu Jin said, "Lewis, do you need me?"

"The people under my command and I are at the Experimental Star right now, waiting for your order to come over for technical support." Lewis said with a smile.

"No, my place is very dangerous! You are technicians and have no combat power. Immediately take the people on the experimental planet back to the inner galaxy! If I lose the battle here, the next one to suffer is the planet near the jump point!" Lu I would like to roar.

Lewis supported his forehead and said, "Calm down, little guy, do you think I'll run over if it's okay?"

Lu Jin looked at him suspiciously, "Lord Lewis, what we have to deal with now is the Zerg, and we have almost exhausted our methods. I plan to take people out of the fortress and activate the planetary self-destruct device."

"There's no need for that, I've already figured out a way." Lewis said confidently, "Do you know what bugs are most afraid of?"

"...What is it?" Lu Jin's mind was full of how to hold the line of defense and what to do if he couldn't stand it any longer. When he was asked this question, his mind went blank.

"Pesticides!" Lewis rolled his eyes, "When you sent the information, I investigated the incident of the 19th Fleet helping the natives eliminate natural enemies on the Hawthorn star. The common feature of those beasts is that they will It emits a special smell, and now my team is using the device on the experimental star to prepare a similar gas, how about it, do you want to take a gamble with me?"

Lu Jin opened his eyes wide and was silent for a moment before clenching his fists and said firmly, "Bet! Why don't you bet!"

"Good job!" Lewis said with a smile, "I can finish the research here at the fastest in 6 hours, can you last 6 hours there?"

"Yes, I will try my best to find a way to contain those bugs." A smile finally appeared on Lu Jin's face.

"Okay, that's it, let's get in touch again." Lewis took the initiative to turn off the communication, and seized the time to study the gas for killing insects.

Lu Jin turned around and smiled at the soldiers present, "You heard what Lewis and I said just now, right? There are still 6 hours left, can you hold on?"

"—I can hold it!!" Everyone said in unison.

***

When Lewis sent the gas named "pesticide", an amazing scene was taking place in the distant solar system.

The annual federation meeting is held on Earth. Except for the legion commanders who have missions and cannot get away, all important officials from the political and military circles will attend. The star network is also live broadcasting simultaneously, and all federal citizens can watch the live broadcast on the star network. While making comments, the giants from all walks of life in the meeting will always pay attention to the repercussions of the new policy among citizens.

This year's Federal Conference started less than 10 minutes ago, and the live broadcast screen was shaken vaguely for a while, causing the netizens who watched the live broadcast on Xingwang to yell and curse, and it took a few minutes for the screen to stabilize.

However, the camera was not placed on the conference hall, but aimed at the sky outside.

Seven or eight shots shot the sky above the earth from different angles. I saw a fleet appearing out of nowhere, densely packed with space warships all over the sky. Netizens immediately recognized the special logo on the battleship closest to the camera.

"——That's the badge of the 28th Legion!" Someone posted in the comments immediately, "Oh my God! Is Liao Qiting crazy! To participate in the Federation Conference and bring the fleet!"

"Could he have broken into the Federation Conference?!" Someone said worriedly, "Liao Qiting was supposed to fight star robbers at the border, but he came back without receiving an order and broke into the Federation Conference with his fleet. Are the militants trying to overthrow the state power!"

"Then we are also in danger!" The people below replied one after another.

The people in the federation meeting also had the same doubts as the netizens. The federation chairman who presided over the meeting immediately sent a contact request to the mothership of the Black Fleet. superior.

"Sure enough, it's you, Liao Qiting." The chairman's face was very ugly, "What kind of behavior did you do until you broke into the meeting with armed forces? You may lose the position of army chief!"

"Before my question, I want to show you something first." Liao Qiting smiled wickedly and snapped his fingers on the screen. Commonwealth citizens all receive a document at the same time.

— Zerg!

People who are unfamiliar with this vocabulary have thoroughly remembered this terrifying race after browsing the documents. Fear not only permeated the star network, but even the giants at the meeting were shocked.

"Right now, my partner is dealing with some minions of the Zerg Queen at the border fortress." Through the screen, Liao Qiting stared dangerously at everyone present, "I would like to ask everyone to be more conscious, those who have been in contact with the 19th Legion in recent months Everyone stand up and do a physical examination, those who have no mutations can go home, as for those who have something to do...heh."

Liao Qiting waved his hand, and the muzzles of all the warships were aimed at the meeting site.

border fort.

"Second lieutenant! Have you watched the live broadcast on Starnet!" a soldier shouted.

Lu Jin's face was dark. He had been looking at his personal terminal just now, and of course he saw their general running majesticly to the solar system far away.

A few minutes ago, Liao Qiting also sent a letter, telling himself that he could not be contacted because he had been jumping in the space. When cleaning the star thief's lair, Liao Qiting found a natural jumping point hidden by the star thief. It is connected to the Federation, so Liao Qiting used the excuse of chasing and killing the defeated soldiers to kill the carbine and go to the inner galaxy to capture the Zerg Queen.

Although he knew the truth of striking while the iron was hot, and what Liao Qiting did at the meeting was very exciting, but when he thought that this person had been out of contact for nearly [-] hours, Lu Jin's mood couldn't get better at all.

Lu Jin snorted through his nose and looked at the soldier, "Have you caught the Zerg Queen?"

"The target has been locked, the general has blasted the area where the aborigines of Hawthorn Star are located to nothing left!" Xiao Bing danced with excitement.

"Have all the Zergs on our side been wiped out?" Lu Jin asked again.

"Lord Lewis's 'insecticide' is very effective! I never thought that the insects, which can't be dealt with by any number of guns, would die under the attack of gas!"

"Be careful, when the queen dies, the Zerg will give birth to a new queen!" Lu Jin frowned, "Have you solved the problem with Shenks?"

It just so happened that Shanks' request for communication also came at this time, and the first thing that came through after the call was a hearty laugh, "Mission accomplished!"

"Has the 19th Legion's fleet... been wiped out?" Lu Jin asked in a low voice.

"Not one left." Shanks' voice returned to normal, and he reported to Lu Jin in an extremely serious tone, "I saw Liao Qicheng's warship blown to pieces with my own eyes."

"……Thanks a lot."

Lu Jin pressed his hand on his left chest, he couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, he and Liao Qicheng had no grievances, no matter how many conflicts the other party had with Liao Qiting before, the other party had never done anything that would actually harm Lu Jin However, he still ordered the complete annihilation without wavering or hesitating.

I don't know since when, his heart has hardened to such an extent.

But Lu Jin didn't regret it.

He glanced at Liao Qiting, who had mixed reviews from everyone on the Internet, but no doubt they all admitted that he was extremely powerful, and finally his lips curled up a little.

***

Liao Qiting made a big fuss at the federal meeting, but it also solved the most serious crisis since the founding of the federation.

He has always gone his own way, and before the government and the military could reward or punish his actions, he swaggered back to the border with the fleet.

When he arrived at the fortress, it was the seventh day after he made a big fuss about the federation conference. He only spent three days killing all the Zerg, and the rest of the time was spent on the road.

As soon as he got off the battleship, Liao Qiting sensed something was wrong.

The 28th Legion had achieved great victories in the border, military and political circles, and on the Star Network, but when their legion commander returned in triumph, Lu Jin was the only one who came to greet him.

Moreover, Lu Jin was still expressionless as usual, and he couldn't see the joy of winning a big victory at all.

"General, congratulations on being promoted two ranks in a row and becoming a major general. I just received a notice from the military department, and I guess you haven't read it yet." Lu Jin was doing business without looking sideways, "Please follow me to the headquarters to rest. The rest of the non-commissioned officers will be arranged later."

Liao Qiting suddenly felt that something was wrong with Lu Jin today.

"you……"

"General," Liao Qiting was interrupted by Lu Jin before he finished speaking, "When you get back, do you want to eat first or take a bath first?"

"Dine." Liao Qiting answered subconsciously.

Lu Jin pressed a few keys on his personal terminal, and said calmly, "Okay, I've ordered it."

While talking, the two walked into the lounge. Liao Qiting still felt that something was wrong, and went forward to pull Lu Jin with a frown, "Hey, you—"

Before he touched Lu Jin, the other party dodged Liao Qiting's hand beautifully, probably because he rarely fights one-on-one with Lu Jin, Liao Qiting was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Lu Jin's fist hit Liao Qiting's defenseless face.

Liao Qiting's reaction was not slow. Before Lu Jin could close his fist, he held Lu Jin's fist, his eyes were filled with dangerous emotions, "What are you doing?"

"Should I be the one to ask you this?" Lu Jin was not timid at all, his eyes widened, "Liao Qiting! Is it interesting to be a lone hero! Is it difficult to give me a message before you decide to use the jumping point of the star robber's lair? ! You know that during the thirty hours you lost contact, I will be ready for you at any time... Are you ready to lose your life on the battlefield?!!"

At the end, Lu Jin's nose and eye sockets were a little red, but he still stubbornly stared at the man in front of him.

Liao Qiting was stunned for a moment, and then let out a muffled laugh, "Are you... worried about me?"

"Isn't this a very normal thing? Whether it's public or private, I can't help worrying about you!" Lu Jin was so angry at Liao Qiting's light words that he wanted to laugh, and was about to say a few more words when he was suddenly firmly held by the other party. Imprisoned in my arms.

The strength was so great that Lu Jin felt that his waist was about to break.

"Are you also worried about the loss of a young man's spouse?" Liao Qiting whispered in Lu Jin's ear.

"I... just worried that you are not here, what should the legion do?" Lu Jin turned his head to the side awkwardly.

Liao Qiting laughed louder, his shoulders trembled slightly, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Jin was puzzled.

——"Admit it, you're in love with me." The man finally said.

(Finish)

…∞····∞····∞····∞

Follow-up:

Liao Jue, the commander of the 19th Army, took the blame and resigned.

Both his wife and son were parasitized by the Zerg, and none of them survived, and the legion was also infiltrated by the Zerg, which also affected the top leaders of the Federation. The blow of public opinion and the loss of a loved one almost crushed Liao Jue's shoulders, and his hair turned gray overnight.

The 19th Legion was officially handed over to Liao Qiting, and the approval time of the military department was very fast. They almost couldn't wait to throw this mess to Liao Qiting.

Lu Jin was also busier than before. There were so many people looking for him that he almost had no time to rest. In the end, Liao Qiting made a decision and left all the business matters to his subordinates except Lu Jin's private number.

With Liao Qiting's words, Lu Jin took this opportunity to take a good rest for a few days.

Not many people knew Lu Jin's private number, so when he heard the ringing of his personal terminal, Lu Jin was stunned for a moment.

But looking at the display of the other party's number, Lu Jin understood, and he pressed the connect button, "...Grandmother?"

"Xiao Jin, save your brother!" Grandma's voice was full of exhaustion, "He hasn't heard from him for a month, can you ask the military medical headquarters to let him out of the isolation room?"

Lu Jin sighed, "Sorry, I can't do that."

"Are you still blaming me for giving up on you, or are you happy seeing your brother down?!" Grandma said angrily.

"All people who may be parasitized by the Zerg need to be quarantined. This is a normal procedure. When my brother passes the incubation period, if he is not parasitized, he will naturally be able to go home." Lu Jin said, suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, if grandma hadn't strongly supported my brother and Shanny's relationship back then, I'm afraid he wouldn't have entered the isolation room today, would he?"

The grandmother was speechless, and had no face to speak again, and hung up the phone resentfully.
