Chapter 1 Everyone is Awakened by a Loud Bang

The explosion shook everyone awake.

Just as everyone was resting with their eyes closed, shortly after the starship had passed through the second pitch-black wormhole, the starship suddenly shuddered violently!

"What's going on?!"

The starship suffered an unknown attack, causing alarms to blare incessantly. Everyone looked around as if they genuinely didn't know what was happening.

But inwardly, they cursed, "This is too fast, isn't it?!"

Meanwhile, Mingmei quietly sat there, turning her head to look out the window.

Well, well!

The starship's transparent protective shield already showed faint cracks!

Besides that, there was a vast, densely packed army of Zerg, making people shudder!

"Don't panic, all students gather around your teachers!"

The teachers sitting at the back stood up and waved to their respective classes.

The teachers revealed the mecha-marked bracelets on their wrists, looking fearless in the face of danger, putting on quite the performance.

Mu Chen pulled Mingmei up, and the two of them followed Hu Yue and her teacher towards Cheshire and the others. However, during this time, whether it was because the Zerg's undercover agent was too impatient, or because some of the teachers had poor mental fortitude…

Just as Mingmei and Mu Chen were walking down the aisle, before they had reached the end, they heard a woman's shout from the other end.

Immediately, Mingmei felt a blur before her eyes, and a figure flew past her.

With a loud crash, someone was kicked from one end of the starship to the other, slamming heavily into the wall. Without even a muffled groan, they limply slid from the wall to the ground.

They looked like they had been killed with a single kick.

Mingmei: 0.0?

Who?

When she came back to her senses, Jinny hadn't retracted her long leg.

The explosive force, the scene of an adult being kicked dozens of meters away, caused the students behind her to break out in a cold sweat.

What could these students do but shout "Awesome!"?

"Alright, this traitor is finished. As for the situation outside…"

They had agreed that the teachers would protect the students on the starship while the Zerg outside would be handled by professionals. Jinny retracted her leg, clapped her hands, and looked relaxed, as if wanting a cigarette after a job well done.

But this moment of relaxation seemed pathetic and ridiculous in the face of the Zerg's sudden attack in the next second!

With a bang, Mingmei heard a cracking sound next to her ear. She didn't know what was breaking, but amid the interwoven white, yellow, and cyan-purple lightning, Mingmei subconsciously reached for the spatial ring in her arms.

Soon, as the starship shattered under the Zerg's fierce attack, countless mecha suddenly burst out from the starship.

Students and teachers alike, almost everyone had a mecha, appearing before the Zerg, which were still several times or even dozens of times larger than them.

"I forgot to mention, we seem to be a bit off from our planned destination."

Cheshire said this, not wanting to look at the crimson gold A+ level mecha next to him—that was Jinny's mecha.

Just now, when she was relaxing, during the fierce attack on the starship, Cheshire had personally seen Jinny lose her balance and fall to the ground, rolling twice before finally pulling out her mecha.

Another second, and she could have turned into fragments along with the starship.

Even so, Cheshire couldn't help but want to laugh, but he was afraid of being "silenced."

"Did those people send the signal?"

Looking at the Zerg forces in front of her, which seemed to be composed of more than one Zerg clan, even a war fanatic like Jinny had to consider whether she had the strength to fight.

After all, she still had students behind her.

Looking at the students wearing the A-grade mecha provided by the school, eager to try, Jinny felt that she needed to warn them and make them cherish their lives.

So, just as Zhen Hu and the others were about to make a move, they heard their homeroom teacher say, "If you damage the mecha that the school has temporarily lent you, I'm telling you, be prepared to pay for it at full price. With your current assets, you'll be working for the Empire for free for the rest of your lives."

Zhen Hu: ???

Zhen Po: ??? .oγg

Others: Huh???

"Damn! Their mecha…"

Not all students needed to be "subsidized" by the school; those whose families were well-off had long prepared their own mecha.

For example, Mingmei's "Brocade Robe," and Mu Chen's silver-white S-grade mecha "Plain Silk," which he had never revealed, even Mingmei couldn't help but sigh that Mu Chen could really hold back.

Although the two S-grade mecha on the scene should have alerted the Zerg, when Lu Gui piloted his father's mecha from back then, the Zerg commander's eyes were fixed on Lu Gui's mecha, unable to recover for a long time.

The significance of that brown mecha was well known to some Zerg commanders or higher-level Zerg mothers.

Fifteen years ago, in order to encircle the former master of this brown mecha and another genius comparable to him, their Zerg had lost not only Zerg commanders but also two immature Royal Zerg.

And today, they saw this brown mecha again.

In Zerg signals that all humans like Mingmei couldn't understand, the Zerg had unified all information internally in a very short time.

[Regardless of the cost, today's primary targets—Mingmei, Lu Gui.]

…

"Damn, these bugs…"

Mei Qiu and Hu Mingli were blocked on their way to provide support.

Although both of them were infamous, they were still met with countless suicide attacks from the Zerg. They couldn't kill them all, they couldn't eliminate them all, and the key was that they couldn't get there in time to provide reinforcements!

They had deduced countless times the most likely and easiest place for the Zerg to attack, but they were wrong!

For a long time, Mei Qiu killed many Zerg in place, but he just stayed there, not moving even two steps!

"Hu Mingli!"

Mei Qiu couldn't leave himself, so he placed his hopes on Hu Mingli, who was still a good distance away from him, but closer to Mingmei and the others.

However, the answer he received was not ideal.

The Zerg's attacks on Hu Mingli were also very fierce.

Those who knew the situation understood that these Zerg were trying to delay him.

Those who didn't know might have thought that Hu Mingli was the one being ambushed!

It was even possible that Hu Mingli was "seriously injured," and the Zerg, seeing this as a golden opportunity, seemed to want to take his life.

There were an absurd number of these Zerg!

"I can't get away either, how are you doing?"

Hu Mingli contacted Mei Qiu while he was in a killing frenzy. He didn't hear Mei Qiu's answer, but he did hear the same "expert fishing in a pond" commotion from Mei Qiu's side as he heard from his own side.

"It's okay, my sister is over there…"

After a while, Mei Qiu said this.

"Your sister? That poker-faced, socially awkward beauty?"

Mei Qiu: "…?"

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

"Mingmei is very powerful." Mei Qiu thought about the training data he had seen for Mingmei before, which was excellent, but Mingmei herself just didn't realize it.

"My sister is also very powerful. Why don't we guess whose sister kills more Zerg?"

Mei Qiu: "…"

For some reason, Hu Mingli was not serious when he should have been.
