Chapter 292: Chapter 291 Guarding Luyi Star

Qu Tong pulled out a thick stack of instruction manuals and threw them to Old Man Yuan, commanding coldly, "Help me find the usage method for the particle bullets."

Old Man Yuan rolled his eyes resignedly and picked up the manual to search elsewhere.

Qu Tong then approached the military artillery, starting it up according to the memories of her previous life.

Adjusting the position, checking the data, she pressed the launch button.

The missile soared into the sky, penetrating the Planetary Shield, and just as it flew above the shield, it exploded with a resounding "boom."

Old Six looked up at the spreading white smoke in the sky and muttered, "How does the lady have a military artillery platform?"

"Hurry inside, stay with everyone. In case the Planetary Shield breaks, we can at least take care of each other," Tang Shigui came over, pushing Old Six’s wheelchair toward the villa.

The artillery had only 12 shells, and Qu Tong used them all.

She then quickly read through the particle bullets’ instructions and continued to launch them as directed.

In the surveillance, the shells exploded, and tens of thousands of Insect Clan members were blasted to pieces, with new ones surging forward to fill their places. It was hard to imagine just how many of the Insect Clan were outside the Planetary Shield.

Within an hour, missiles worth tens of millions were used up, but they only thinned out the Insect Clan attacking the Planetary Shield slightly.

Su Hua also delivered all the Energy Stones and informed everyone that they had all gathered together.

Qu Tong nodded, took the Space Button, and told Su Hua to go down and be on standby.

Qu Tong handed the Energy Stones to Old Man Yuan, returned to the control station, and reduced the Planetary Shield to one-third of its original size, only covering the developed area. This way, it could hold on for longer.

There weren’t many Energy Stones left; they probably wouldn’t last much longer, and the distress signal still couldn’t be sent out.

Qu Tong left Old Man Yuan in charge of the central control room and went outside herself.

Luyi Star didn’t have any bunkers, so all the ordinary residents were gathered in the open space outside the villa.

Many people had never seen the Insect Clan with their own eyes. Witnessing the fierce Insect Clan now visible due to the shrunken shield and hearing the blood-curdling sounds close at hand, they huddled in fear with their friends and family.

But they all obediently refrained from running around or screaming, not wanting to burden Qu Tong and the others.

Xuan Ping and Tang Shigui, along with a group of old soldiers, spread out on the perimeter in a protective stance.

When Qu Tong came out, everyone turned their gaze towards her, the ordinary residents subconsciously believing in her, hope flickering in their eyes.

"Planet Master, what do we do? Should we go out and fight them, not letting them come in and destroy our farms?" a young man, holding a samurai sword that didn’t look very sharp and that he had found somewhere, stood slightly in front of the crowd.

"Survival first," Qu Tong’s voice, neither too loud nor too soft, carried a special calming effect.

Just three short words, but they evoked a multitude of emotions in those who heard them.

Gu Xiu and the others also refrained from acting rashly, waiting for Qu Tong’s orders.

Qu Tong lifted the fighter jet’s keys, her gaze sweeping over Xuan Ping and the others: "Which one of you has better piloting skills? Go and bring back some reinforcements."

"I’ll go!" Hu Qing stood up.

"Good."

Qu Tong tossed him the keys along with the Space Button and had Xiang Bin take him to the jet landing pad in the backyard.

Qu Tong then took out a whole box of Energy Liquid and Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion from the Space Button and had Su Hua distribute one of each to everyone.

Su Hua, somewhat stiff in her movements, took the box, stunned like the rest.

This!!

This is too much!

Even Gu Xiu, who had seen much in his time, was too astonished to speak.

Even during the last military tournament, The Prince’s Consort had only promised purchasing rights for high-grade Spirit Power Potions.

And now, they had actually brought out so many elixirs, including Energy Liquid.

The situation was urgent, and Qu Tong had no time to consider everyone’s shock and confusion.

She commanded in a deep voice, "Everyone has access to the Planetary Shield. Those without spiritual power should stay here, the rest come out with me to kill the Insect Clan."

"If you can’t hold on, get back inside immediately. Kill as many as you can, but don’t overdo it."

No sooner had she finished speaking than noises emerged from outside the Planetary Shield, sounding like something landing.

The sky was swarming with the Insect Clan, somewhat dim, obscuring the view outside.

Gu Xiu and Xuan Ping took the lead, protecting Qu Tong as she exited the Planetary Shield.

Gu Xiu erected a Spirit Power Barrier in front of Qu Tong, creating a safe area.

Looking around, the sky was densely filled with the Insect Clan, and the nearby forest was also in complete disarray.

"Sister! Are you alright?" A clear voice rang out from behind and to the side of Qu Tong, filled with concern.

Qu Tong turned her head and saw Xu An fighting his way through the Insect Clan towards her.

Behind him, there were many mercenaries.

In a short while, Xu An reached Qu Tong’s side, sized her up, and exhaled in relief, "Good, you’re safe."

"We were doing a task nearby and were about to leave when we glanced through the detector and noticed something was wrong here, so I went back and brought people over." Xu An explained proactively under Qu Tong’s puzzled gaze.

Qu Tong nodded her head.

The group Xu An brought was not only his team but also gathered around forty or fifty more people, presumably promised some favor by him.

After a brief exchange, they were ready to throw themselves back into the intense and dangerous battle.

Qu Tong observed the Insect Clan, as numerous as during the incident on the tier-three planet, with an unprecedented solemn expression on her face.

Although she had blown up about half of them with thermal weapons, the remaining half could not be cleared out quickly, and there was even uncertainty about whether more of the Insect Clan were still emerging from the wormhole.

And the speed at which the Energy Stone was being consumed was uncertain if it could last until rescue arrived.

"Gu Xiu, don’t worry about me; I won’t be in danger." Qu Tong handed two bottles of Energy Liquid to Gu Xiu, unwilling to hold him back any longer.

Seeing Qu Tong pull out the Mecha-special Space Button, Gu Xiu could only nod, "Take care, The Prince’s Consort."

Qu Tong climbed into a mecha created by Master Yan, brandished her Laser Knife, slicing through two or three members of the Insect Clan in front of her, then flew up into the sky and headed into the distance.

Seeing Qu Tong move away, Tang Shigui expressed his concerns, "Why is the lady going so far? She won’t be in danger, will she?"

Xuan Ping glanced back and replied, "No worries, don’t underestimate the lady. Her skill in operating mecha is very high, reaching S-rank."

In disbelief, Tang Shigui kept fighting the Insect Clan while his mouth hung open, "S-rank? That’s impressive! Isn’t she on the same level as us then?"

"Perhaps," Xuan Ping answered.

They still had the strength to chat casually for the moment, but that might not be the case soon.

Fortunately, the Planetary Shield and the Energy Liquid gave them a chance to catch their breath.

There was still plenty of Energy Liquid that Qu Tong had given, and once it ran out they could go in and get more from Ke Jun.

Qu Tong had killed so many of the Insect Clan that she couldn’t even keep count; her spiritual power had been drained significantly.

The corpses of the Insect Clan below were quickly piling up into mounds, yet the number in the sky seemed not to have decreased at all.

Just as she was about to check the other side of the forest, the wing-beating frequency of the Insect Clan suddenly increased, the sound becoming somewhat piercing, filled with a restless energy.

In the distance, a dark mass was rapidly approaching the energy barrier, and at the forefront were thousands of high-grade Insect Clan members, which were not something they could contend with.

Qu Tong’s heart lurched, and she turned and shouted, "Quick, back to the shield!"
