Escape

The eleventh Yuntu Clan warship had just leaped out of the Warp Bubble and hadn't even had a chance to get a clear look at its surroundings when the Zerg locked onto its location. Thousands of energy beams arrived in an instant, blasting it into pieces.

The sudden movement of the Zerg forces startled the ten Yuntu Clan warships, but their radar systems did not sound any alarms indicating they were locked on by fire control, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue charging forward.

Behind them, flashes of explosion continued to illuminate the scene, and the energy beams emitted became increasingly dense, their fiery red color illuminating the starry sky. For the Swarm, due to the limitations of warp drive, the Yuntu Clan warships were jumping out of warp space one by one; as long as they were cleared quickly, they would never be able to form a large force.

The Yuntu Clan warships appeared one after another like moths to a flame, and the number of warship wrecks rose rapidly. Soon, hundreds of warships were destroyed, while the Zerg only wasted a little bit of energy.

By this time, the fleeing Yuntu Clan warships had approached the Swarm's encirclement. They were also quite puzzled by the Swarm's actions, and some Yuntu Clan crew members even naively thought that the Zerg's Biological Weapon might have a problem with their friend-or-foe identification system.

Otherwise, why would these ferocious biological combat units of the Zerg ignore them?

Some crew members believed it was Zerg trap. However, this was obvious, as evidenced by the fate of their comrades later on. But why they were treated differently, these crew members couldn't explain.

Therefore, after a brief vote, the crew decided that in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Zerg forces, they should leave the village quietly and not fire their guns.

So the Yuntu Clan warships quietly rushed toward the encirclement. Their weapon systems were silent, and even their radar systems did not scan randomly, all in order to continue to "hide" from the Swarm forces.

The Swarm seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with them, and they truly did not "discover" them, allowing them to continue to approach.

"Be careful, we'll slip through their gaps." As the Yuntu Clan warships approached the Swarm's defenses, their speed unconsciously decreased significantly.

Nearly ten million Swarm units formed a circle, three layers deep, intertwined, leaving ample space for firing. While it appeared there were large gaps between the Ancient Class, in reality, there wasn't a single smooth straight line to pass through. For the Yuntu Clan warship to penetrate this Swarm defensive line, it had to reduce its speed, weave left and right, and navigate through the gaps.

"Watch out, be careful!"

"A little to the left! Don't get too close to that guy!"

The crew of the Yuntu Clan are now convinced that the Swarm forces' identification system has malfunctioned for some unknown reason. Although there was a deliberate misguidance by one of their own, even the Blade find it somewhat unbelievable that the rest of the crew believed it so quickly.

Perhaps due to the Zerg's unique racial structure, most of the units that appear are biological combat units, while the actual Zerg rarely show themselves. This creates the illusion for other races that the Zerg are scarce, do not easily leave their home base, and rely solely on mass- Biological Weapon for combat on the front lines.

In this way, it's inevitable that some problems will arise when Biological Weapon rely solely on remote command or their own logical calculations to act. However, these are merely contributing factors. Later, the Blade analyzed that this was probably an instinctive attempt by intelligent beings to imagine a lifeline to numb themselves when facing immense crisis and fear. Perhaps they all knew it was a trap, but simply refused to believe it.

They had now entered the Swarm's defensive line, surrounded by Ancient Class insects. Their long, slender tentacles swung freely, and blue arcs of Electric Arc flickered across their bodies, giving them a dangerous yet beautiful aura.

To avoid provoking the Ancient Class destroyers and reactivating IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) systems, the warship shut down all its radars, relying solely on visual detection to locate surrounding creatures.

Therefore, all the Yuntu Clan stared wide-eyed out the window, not daring to relax for a moment.

Actually, those Ancient Class are alright. Although they are huge, their positions are fixed, so even if their arms and legs move, the range is relatively limited.

What troubled the Yuntu Clan the most were the small Mature Form and Larval Form. Because they were not in flight mode, some of these small and medium-sized combat units were released and they were moving between the Ancient Class. What they were doing was unclear to the Yuntu Clan.

Of course, they didn't dare to ask.

They could only carefully avoid them, but these small to medium-sized Space Octopus darted around everywhere, their routes unpredictable, making them impossible to defend against.

With the warship's radar system shut down, they could only locate the Mature Form and Larval Form through portholes and external panoramic devices. This made evasion even more difficult.

However, a ship over 3,000 meters long isn't that agile, and one of the Larval Form inevitably collided with the warship. The Yuntu Clan crew's hearts were in their throats. Fortunately, the Larval Form only crawled a short distance on the warship before taking off again and gradually disappearing into the distance.

"It seems the Zerg are really in trouble. If we can successfully escape back and report the situation, it will definitely be a great achievement."

"That's right. If we can find out how this problem arose and find the vulnerability in the Zerg's friend-or-foe identification system, then they will be no match for us."

The bright vision of the future slightly dispelled the fear, and I was no longer too worried or vigilant about the Mature Form and Larval Form constantly wandering around.

Unbeknownst to them, as they ventured deeper, more and more Mature Form and Larval Form approached the warship, even clinging to its hull. But by this time, the Yuntu Clan crew had become accustomed to "peacefully coexisting" with these Biological Weapons.

Just then, a fifty-meter-long Mature Form swam over and, by sheer coincidence, perched on the porthole of the warship's bridge. The Yuntu Clan crew members in the bridge initially gasped and hid under equipment or tables and chairs. But when they realized the Mature Form had no intention of attacking, they were able to observe these beautiful creatures at extremely close range. Some crew members even left their posts to get closer to the porthole to watch.

Seemingly startled, the Mature Form took to the air and left. The Yuntu Clan crew members who hadn't had time to get close felt a little regretful, but then suddenly discovered that the Mature Form had left them a "gift".

Two humanoid creatures, never before seen in any records, appeared on the porthole. They were five or six meters tall, with wolf heads, sharp teeth and claws, well-proportioned bodies, taut muscles, and horny armor covering their vital parts.

It's a Zerg Biological Weapon!

The Yuntu Clan crew immediately realized this, as it was quite easy to identify. First, while there were similar races in the Star Sea Alliance's racial map, none were as tall. Second, they were not equipped with any protective gear; currently, only the Zerg could exist naked in the space environment.

What are they going to do?
