"Redstone Galaxy...which ranger is the closest?"

Lu Feng, who was waiting at the Tiangong headquarters, suddenly became energetic and asked urgently.

"It's the Third Ranger Fleet, it's already on its way!"

"Well, let Iron Crow continue to keep surveillance and don't get caught... To be on the safe side, let the First Ranger Fleet move over there and order the Crescent Mothership to warm up the hyperspace core and be ready to rush to rescue at any time!"

Shen Tang moved up and down upon hearing the wind and started operating at high speed.

…

On the periphery of the red stone galaxy, white light flashed, and a total of 18 dazzling light bands appeared in the dark deep sky.

At the head are 6 Shenyi-class battlecruisers, followed by an escort formation of 12 Aegis-class cruisers. The entire fleet appears streamlined and capable.

The names of most of the galaxies in the Meteor Jedi were named by the Vegel people. The names are simple and direct, mainly because they are easy to remember.

There are two colonial stars in the Redstone Galaxy, Redstone 1 and Redstone 2. The two rocky stars are rich in ore planets. Their surfaces are rust-colored and produce a number of very distinctive red iron ores, which can be good with a little refinement.

Armored steel was the most favored shipbuilding material of the Vegel people before they became famous.

At that time, the Veigl spacecraft did not need to be painted, it was red in color, and this color scheme has continued to this day.

Two unattractive mining planets once enjoyed unprecedented prosperity and formed a short-lived black market.

However, as the shallow mineral veins were quickly mined, and as technology progressed, the pirates had better armor options, the place began to decline and gradually became a fringe world.

Today, there are only a few hundred thousand mining people living here, and some of the remaining red iron ore is sporadically mined and sold to civilian shipyards to make a little money.

Ten minutes ago,

A small fleet of pirate ships is docked in the huge and dilapidated orbital airport for brief repairs. This large space station used to be a very famous transportation hub, but now it only gives people the feeling of being in disrepair, dilapidated and desolate.

Suddenly, a violent thunderstorm formed in the universe 200,000 kilometers away from the Redstone 1 orbit. The scope of the thunderstorm was not large, with a visual diameter of only about one kilometer. The rolling thunder and energy clouds rolled inward and condensed without breaking up.

"Look, what is that!"

The pirates on the orbiting space station pointed at the nearby thunder and lightning vortex and screamed. Cosmic thunderstorms are a very common natural phenomenon, but such small and concentrated ones, the pirates have no clue with their superficial knowledge, and they can only think of them as

Something to talk about when we brag in the bar later.

The energy in the vortex surged violently, and after several minutes of stabilization, it finally calmed down, and finally formed a blue-colored vortex with a diameter of one thousand meters. The center of the vortex was like a mirror, showing a deep ink color, and it was about five to six hundred meters in diameter.

"Huh? Could this be the legendary wormhole?"

"Tear...don't tell me, it looks very similar. I want to take a photo and send it to Jenny at the Iron Ax Bar!"

"I just know how to pick up girls. Do you think there will be any treasures there?"

The pirates' eyes suddenly lit up.

Although they have never seen a real wormhole, the information age is like this. As long as there are some characteristics, people can take it for granted that the truth is what they think it is, and show an eye-popping self-confidence.

Fortunately, the pirates guessed correctly this time. This is indeed a basic small wormhole. It is not uncommon among the Zerg.

"Hiccup~ If you ask me, what else can there be in a wormhole besides worms? I might as well... drink!"

This is what an old drunkard next to him muttered naturally as he burped.

Although he obviously had no idea and was talking drunkenly, the pirates around him heard it like a thunderbolt from the blue, and they all stopped talking.

"Ha...haha...Old Clay got drunk again. The Zerg have been extinct for thousands of years. Where did the Zerg come from~"

Some people laughed, but the laughter sounded a little stiff, as if they were emboldening themselves.

"That's right, don't listen to the old drunkard's nonsense... I'm going to sail over there to see if anyone is with me?"

Some people shouted in agreement and tried to pull others along.

"What a great idea, I'll go too!"

"Go together! Go together!"

…

A few minutes later, more than ten pirate ships of various shapes took off from the airport and headed towards the newly emerged wormhole.

The first one was a modified medium-sized cargo ship, which could barely pass for a cruiser. The crooked melons and cracked dates behind it were even more unsightly. They were mainly destroyers and frigates, and the hull lacked scientific maintenance and looked a bit mottled.

The makeshift pirate fleet slowly approached, and red light emitted from the engine nozzles. This was caused by impure gas fuel and aging equipment. For example, the tail flames of the Imperial warships and the Shen Tang fleet were pure blue.

"Gunner, fire a shot and try!"

On the pirate ship headed by it, an electromagnetic gun on the back of the ship moved slowly, the electric light surged, and a low-power projectile shot through the air, disappearing into the vortex in an instant.

"No response?"

The pirate captain calmed down a bit and turned to "Where is our drone? Send it in to take a look. By the way, remember to fix the steel cables and data cables to prevent them from malfunctioning. This thing is very expensive..."

Soon, a somewhat clumsy-looking reconnaissance drone took off from the pirate ship and slowly plunged into the wormhole.

The pirates on the ship were looking forward to the images transmitted back by the data cable. As a result, the moment the drone passed through the wormhole, the screen was torn and then completely freeze-framed.

The pirates immediately sighed and dispersed in disappointment.

"Tug the drone back immediately. I hope the video can be viewed."

The winch at the bow of the ship began to reverse, and the drone was easily dragged back. However, the pirates who saw the drone clearly were startled, and a huge flying insect actually crawled on the drone, opening its bloody basin.

Devouring the metal casing of the drone.

In less than a minute, half of the drone that was prized by the pirates was gone, and it was obviously scrapped.

"Zerg...Zerg! There really are Zerg!"

The pirates immediately went crazy, some turned their guns, and some immediately turned around and ran away.

Soon, sporadic artillery fire streaked across the starry sky, with a disastrous hit rate. The frightened Zerg whipped up its huge flesh-winged super-pirate ship to attack. Its body was light and flexible in the windless vacuum of space, making subsequent artillery strikes even more difficult to hit.

The old pirate angrily kicked away the busy gunner and began to use high-speed machine guns to fire at the zerg. After all, there was only one zerg, and it was quickly swept down by rapid-fire firepower.

But before it died, it still sprayed several insect blades at the pirate ship. The insect blades rotated and hit the hull, causing a violent explosion and releasing green acidic smoke.

The pirate ship under attack trembled violently, and gas fires broke out in some cabins, causing the pirates on the ship to panic for a while.

I can't help but feel scared.

Just one zerg is so difficult to deal with, what if there are more?

The desire to retreat suddenly arose in my heart.

Unfortunately, it's too late to retreat now.

The next moment, black smoke-like swarms of insects spewed out of the wormhole, instantly engulfing several pirate ships at the door. Several fireballs were vaguely visible in the black clouds, exploding one after another.

In less than three minutes, this small pirate fleet was completely wiped out, without even a splash in the sea of ​​insects.

After easily killing the pirate ship, the swarm of insects immediately rushed towards the nearest orbital airport. The faces of the people in the airport were pale, as if they could feel the unstoppable power of the swarm.

"Oh God, it's a swarm of insects, run quickly——!"

"Go away, don't take my word for it!"

"Ah, help, my leg is broken..."

"Hurry up and ask for help outside. Where is the nearest fleet?"

"Hey, there is no fleet in the Fallen Star Jedi. If you don't want to die, come with me to the fort. I'm fighting with the bug here today!"

In the rusty corridors of the space station, the panicked shouts and running sounds of pirates could be heard. The pirates present dispersed in a hurry, trying to escape from the dark clouds approaching quickly outside the portholes.

The insect tide did not give the pirates much time to react. In just a few minutes, the insect swarm attacked this thin orbital building.

Countless flying dragons swooped down one after another, pouring insect blades towards the old armored surface of the space station. Violent explosions swept through the surface of the space station. The shock wave lifted up pieces of decks, tore apart steel beams, and sucked the pirates in the cabin into space.

They turned into ice sculptures and were later eaten by insects.

Soon after, a few old forts began to return fire, and there were even two anti-aircraft missile launchers on the central tower that began to operate.

Several red laser beams passed through the insect swarm, scorching a few unlucky flying dragons, and then four more missiles flew in, increasing the result to double digits.

But that's all.

The fort that opened fire was quickly attacked by a swarm of insects, and the pirates inside who were cursing loudly were swallowed up by the explosion flames.

The missiles even misfired after the first round. The reason was that there were no spare missiles stored in the airport. The four missiles just now were all in stock!

After all, this is a desolate edge galaxy where even pirates disdain existence. Who would spend money to place so many missiles here? Who would they attack?

As a result, the resistance of the pirates present seemed very weak.

The only thing that was a bit suspenseful were the few pirate ships that had completed their departure from the port ahead of schedule. Those that had not had time to leave the port had now turned into space junk on the berths.

These few guys who were lucky enough to escape were running away frantically. As long as they could leave the planet's gravity well, they could use warp speed to escape the pursuit of the insect swarms. Although these flying insects looked very fierce, they would never be able to enter with their bodies.

warp speed.

Otherwise, the coffin boards of all human scientists will not be able to hold it down.

The menacing insect swarm obviously did not intend to let them go. Hundreds of flying dragons immediately chased after them. The flying dragons had better acceleration. They quickly closed in on the fleeing pirates from such a short distance and launched an attack on the hull.

The Weigel pirates also became fierce at this time. After all, they were desperadoes. The various turrets on several ships turned around and fired wildly at the insect swarm. The sparse barrage light strips followed the insect swarm and resisted the attack of the insects.

near.
