Chapter 255: Chapter 254: The Admiral Is Really Particular

Cheng Feng and Feng Lin exchanged a glance and finally nodded.

Technical personnel stepped forward, taking out a complicated machine as tall as a person from a designated space and began a complex operation that Qu Tong could not understand.

At last, a large chunk of highly pure Energy Stone was placed into the energy chamber and the start button was pressed.

This detection indeed revealed the energy waves from a Wormhole about to form.

Feng Lin and Cheng Feng were very grateful to Qu Tong, then immediately started their preparations without delay.

Although the Third-Class star also had soldiers from the Sixth Army Corps patrolling, sending reinforcements once a large number of the Insect Clan appeared would still lead to casualties.

The Third-Class star immediately initiated the highest alert, and Zhao Qian and Si Yuting also led troops as support.

Qu Tong saw the warships from the photograph shown to her by the Empress Dowager, covering half the sky of the city.

The warships were uniformly black with silver accents, as if all the fighters and warships of the First Army Corps were in this color scheme. Qu Tong figured it was either designed by the same designer or the person in charge had a preference for this palette.

Qu Tong looked up to see Si Yuting descending from the warship. His Admiral uniform was strict and solemn, awe-inspiring. He didn’t need to wear any badges, because Si Yuting himself was an honor.

His sharply-defined handsome face emanated a naturally harsh and formidable aura, which made one involuntarily look upon him with awe.

But that did not include Qu Tong.

Qu Tong grinned and teased with raised eyebrows, "Admiral, you sure dress up nicely, killing Insect Clan in such a formal uniform. It would be such a pity to have it sullied with green slime~"

Qu Tong saw Si Yuting’s expression stiffen, feeling instantly elated, and began to giggle.

Cheng Feng beside Si Yuting also started to laugh but received a deadly glare from his boss and immediately composed himself, looking left and right.

Si Yuting cast a fleeting glance at Qu Tong, then turned his attention away and went to discuss defense plans with the hurriedly-arrived Feng Lin.

Since the Third-Class star had towns and residents, it received extreme emphasis, and all available armies around were called in, even the Second Army Corps dispatched personnel.

Feng Haoran, who was investigating nearby cases, also rushed over with his special police force.

All residents were arranged to take shelter, leaving only some capable mercenaries and military academy students outside.

Xu An and others were fully equipped and ready, seriously learning combat techniques against the Insect Clan from the staff of the First Army Corps.

He Zhou, due to his injury, wasn’t able to participate and felt somewhat regretful.

This Third-Class star did not have a Planetary Shield, and it’s obviously too late to install one now, leaving no choice but to increase airborne fighter defenses to minimize the Insect Clan reaching other planets as much as possible.

Technical professionals said the Wormhole could officially open tonight.

He was wrong.

Before dark, the sky began to show signs of disturbance.

Qu Tong observed the formation of a Wormhole and the emergence of the Insect Clan for the first time, seeing the deep, dark Wormhole resonating with strange energy waves, similar to spiritual power yet not quite the same.

The formidable presence was like the eye of a storm, as the Insect Clan continuously emerged from within.

In an instant, the sky that had been clear turned as if it were shrouded by dense clouds.

The alarm bells sounded, and the soldiers, already well-trained, began to exterminate the Insect Clan. Xu An summoned his Mecha and started to slaughter the Insect Clan; his teammates without Mecha, while using weak Spirit Power Spheres, also fought and slashed at the Low-Grade Bug Tribe with their sabers.

Apart from the intelligent High-Level Bug Tribe, the Middle and Low-Level Bug Tribe could not distinguish between friend and foe, instinctively gnawing and destroying anything they encountered, be it humans, buildings, or even the corpses of their kind.

The Middle-Level Bug Clan creatures, once sated, would rapidly spawn Low-Level Bug Tribe members and then continue wreaking havoc.

Most of the High-Level Bug Tribe possessed flying abilities. Qu Tong used her vines to leap onto a slightly higher rooftop several times.

The low-grade members of the Insect Clan were left to soldiers with lower strength and some locals.

The vines were imbued with spiritual power, flexible and soft, yet with lethal intent, a single wrap and stab were enough to claim the life of a High-Level Bug Tribe member.

The strength of the High-Level Bug Tribe was almost equivalent to an S-rank human’s strength, perhaps even weaker.

Qu Tong’s special ability now allowed her to easily pierce through an enemy with a single sweep of a vine; only for those Insect Clan members with strong defensive capabilities did Qu Tong have to exert more effort.

In Si Yuting’s hands was a thunder-attributed long whip, with lightning crackling on it, both flashy and beautiful.

To be able to materialize spiritual power to this extent showed that his strength was no small matter.

The lightning whip and bolts were used simultaneously, and with every perfectly timed movement, no member of the Insect Clan could get close to him.

Both of their special abilities were suited for crowd control, but Qu Tong’s ability had a supportive nature, so it wasn’t as overpowering as Si Yuting’s ability.

Eventually, Qu Tong grew tired of wasting time. For those she couldn’t stab through, she’d wrap them with her vines and toss them over to Si Yuting to be split apart.

At first, Si Yuting would pause in surprise at Qu Tong’s actions, but he gradually got the hang of it.

For a time, their cooperation was seamless.

Feng Lin, engaged in battle with the Insect Clan at another spot, dodged an attack and caught sight of Qu Tong’s valiant figure.

Around her, flying members of the Insect Clan fell from the sky one by one, like rain.

The supple vines, light and agile, were wielded in her hands like lethal swords.

Such a powerful ability might even rival Marshal Si.

Having seen her in person, he knew without a doubt that he was no match for her.

In a moment of distraction, he didn’t notice a half-dead member of the Insect Clan extend its sharp pincers towards him, while another high-grade member launched an attack at his face.

"Captain, be careful!" A soldier nearby noticed and cried out, being himself engaged by a flying member of the clan and unable to help.

A sharp pain in his leg caused Feng Lin to lose balance all at once, and he was a beat too slow in dodging the Insect Clan’s attack.

In the nick of time, a green vine wrapped around the approaching high-grade member’s forelimb and flung it directly into the wall.

Qu Tong leapt down from the balcony, steadying Feng Lin by his arm.

"Are you alright?" Qu Tong asked with a calm expression.

Feng Lin sent a rock smashing onto the not-yet-fully-dead Insect Clan member at his feet, steadying himself, "Thanks!"

"Be careful," Qu Tong said, glancing at Feng Lin’s leg. It didn’t seem too serious, so she went back to killing other Insect Clan members.

With the lesson learned, Feng Lin became fully vigilant, not allowing himself to be distracted again.

The energy waves from the wormhole were too intense, and as of now, the Empire still hadn’t found a method to close it.

An endless stream of the Insect Clan kept pouring out, although the numbers later diminished a bit.

Soldiers and Xu An took turns resting according to their prior arrangement, drinking Energy Liquid to hold on a little longer if they had it.

Xu An drank three tubes of Energy Liquid before retreating to the back to rest.

Xu An observed the soldiers gasping for air and lying on the ground with no image to maintain, thinking to himself that with the convenience of the Energy Liquid from his sister, his condition seemed much better than that of many S-rank soldiers.

Although the military had Qu Tong’s Energy Liquid, it was limited in quantity, so naturally, only the stronger ones could consume it.

Xu An looked at the empty test tube in his hand and turned his questioning gaze towards Qu Tong.
