“Report, the swarm is attacking us!”

“Our firepower is insufficient; we can’t suppress these bugs anymore.”

“A swarm of thousands of bugs detected at eight o’clock!”

The communication channel was filled with chaotic sounds, various messages rising and falling.

Su Lan took off her headphones and looked at the battlefield before her.

The corpses of the bugs had piled up over a meter high, and an indescribable stench, the smell of bug blood, permeated the air.

“Senior Su Lan, my small Laser Gun only has 15% energy left!” Xue Xiaoxiao was currently operating a laser turret outside the Starship.

Due to a system malfunction, after a brief modification, this small Laser Gun could be manually activated directly from the gunner’s position.

“Our Laser Gun energy is also almost depleted!” Zhao Wan’er held a Laser Gun, firing at the bugs constantly swarming in from outside the battle line.

Bugs exploded one after another, splattering green fluid that even splashed onto the teachers and students still fighting.

Fortunately, these fluids were not corrosive; they just had a certain foul odor.

“Hold on a little longer. Teacher Qin just said she contacted a Starship signal detected in the surrounding star systems; it might be a Starship coming to rescue us.

It’s just that due to communication failure, the connection was interrupted, and engineers are currently repairing the communication components,” Senior Su Lan encouraged.

“Oh no, the Starship’s defense line at eight o’clock has fallen!” A sudden message came.

It made Senior Su Lan and the others look terrified.

They knew that the reason they had held on until now was because of the consolidation of the battle line, using this crashed Starship as a fortress to resist the attacks of the surrounding Interstellar Insectoids.

Once a defense line in one direction was breached, it almost certainly meant the collapse of all battle lines.

Because the outcome after being approached by the Interstellar Insectoids was unimaginable!

Senior Su Lan jumped to a high position, looking towards the eight o’clock direction.

Several Starship gun positions there had fallen silent for various reasons, coupled with a surprisingly large number of Interstellar Insectoids appearing, directly leading to insufficient firepower on that defense line, and the Interstellar Insectoids surged into the battle line.

A student saw a bug rushing towards him, immediately panicked, dropped his weapon, and tried to escape into the Starship.

But how could his speed compare to these bugs?

Soon, a half-human-sized bug pounced on him, biting him to the ground, and a sharp pain came from his leg.

“Ahhh... help... help me...” the student struggled and cried out.

A laser shot over, the bug’s body was blasted away, and the student escaped danger.

“Pick up your weapon and fight like a man!” the male teacher who saved the student angrily shouted.

The student nodded foolishly.

In the next second, a bug suddenly tackled the male teacher, and its terrifying mouthparts tore a piece of flesh from the male teacher’s body.

“Get lost, you damned bug!”

The male teacher endured the severe pain and used the Laser Gun in his hand to blast the bug into pieces.

But in the next second, more bugs pounced and bit him.

Three... five... ten...

The gunshots, which had still been present, soon stopped.

The student showed a look of horror, desperately running towards the Starship behind him.

And behind him, more teachers and students from the Two Academies were tackled and devoured by the bugs.

For a time, screams echoed continuously in this area.

They even reached the defense lines in the other three directions.

“It’s over... it’s completely over...” A student next to Su Lan slumped to the ground, disheartened, completely losing the will to fight.

Su Lan’s expression was complex; she wanted to say some encouraging words, but given the current situation, she felt that any words would be powerless.

“Senior Su Lan... is Xiaoxiao going to die...” Xue Xiaoxiao stood on the turret, saying timidly and fearfully.

Zhao Wan’er stood at the front of the defense line, holding a Laser Gun, and said firmly: “Perhaps we will die today, but as students of North Star Academy, future Starfleet captains.

At least at this moment, we fought to the very end!”

“Wan’er is right, as long as we have done our best. Even if we truly face death, we will have no regrets!” Senior Su Lan said with a carefree air.

Although she said these words, a sense of unwillingness and a longing for life could be seen in their eyes.

They were in the prime of their lives, they still had a great youth ahead of them, and they had not yet begun their interstellar journey.

How could they be willing to die here!

“These damned bugs! Xiaoxiao still wants to become a T4 Interstellar Battleship captain in the future, I can’t... I can’t die here!” Xue Xiaoxiao cried out, aiming the re-energized small Laser Gun at a cluster of bugs and firing a shot.

The scattered bug remains flew far, but it was insignificant to the overall situation.

Just as despair began to fill all the teachers and students of the Two Academies.

Above the clouds, an Interstellar Warship broke through the clouds at an extremely high speed and swooped down!

“Look! What is that!” A student pointed at the Starship in the sky, surprised and delighted at the same time.

“Could it be the Starfleet coming to rescue us?”

“We’re saved! We’re saved!”

“Strange, why is there only one Starship?”

The feeling of joy swept away everyone’s despair.

They could see the Starship continuously firing at the Interstellar Insectoids in the air, and those bugs fell from the sky like fireballs, one by one.

At the same time, dozens of unknown Interstellar Drones swooped down, attacking the Interstellar Insectoids around the wreckage of the Starship base!

The barrage of machine gun fire blasted those bugs into smithereens, piece by piece.

An Interstellar Drone sped directly over the heads of Su Lan and the others, pulverizing the bugs that were about to rush to their defense position.

But even so, several waves of bugs swarming from all directions continued to shrink the encirclement of this area.

“Everyone, hold on! We can still survive!” Zhao Wan’er shouted, continuously firing her Laser Gun.

“Take this, one shot!” Xue Xiaoxiao wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes and fired a shot in one direction!

But just at this moment.

The ground suddenly shook.

A giant bug burrowed directly out from under the ground within the defense line, followed by a large number of bugs.

It was less than a few meters from the defense line of Zhao Wan’er and the others.

“Oh no! It’s a bug tunnel! Quickly throw the EMP grenades!” Senior Su Lan exclaimed.

“The EMP grenades ran out long ago.” Zhao Wan’er fired at the bug tunnel in front of her, but the worm-like giant bug had already pounced on her.

‘Warning, warning. Firearm energy low. Please replenish energy clip.’

Just then, the Laser Gun in Zhao Wan’er’s hand ran out of energy and could no longer fire.

“Wan’er... run!” Senior Su Lan suddenly rushed out, pulling Zhao Wan’er behind her, while she herself stood in front of the giant bug.

Zhao Wan’er’s pupils dilated, watching as Senior Su Lan’s body was about to be swallowed by the giant bug, her beauty perishing.

Suddenly, a huge black figure descended from the sky.

Crunch...

The giant bug’s body was directly crushed to a pulp.

Senior Su Lan sat on the ground, somewhat dazed, looking at the ‘black giant’ in front of her.

It was a black mech she had never seen before!

A teasing yet familiar voice came from the {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} black mech.

“How could you not invite me to such an exciting party?”

On the mech’s shoulder, a man wearing pitch-black single-soldier exoskeleton combat armor revealed his face from under his helmet, looking down at them with a relaxed smile.
