Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 761 - 227: The Plans of the Government Army and the New Rebel Army

Chapter 761: Chapter 227: The Plans of the Government Army and the New Rebel Army

After the news of all his teammates’ deaths reached Chen Ming.

Chen Ming immediately switched perspectives to the fleet brought back to headquarters by Cheng Xinghe, which he used to control.

Just as he switched over, a Mechanical Race fleet led by a mother ship was rampaging through the star system of the Rebel Headquarters.

And that mother ship pointed a gigantic cannon, shaped like a centipede full of tentacles, at the colony of the Rebel Headquarters.

On this cannon, which was completely twisted and unlike the orderly machines of the Mechanical Race, the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation was so intense it almost became tangible.

No one could stop this Main Level weapon from firing.

The next moment, a terrifying Mind Pulse, countless times stronger than the one emitted by Chen Ming’s Stone of Chaotic Words, swept across the entire planet.

Every living creature on the planet.

From the birds in the sky to the fish in the sea.

From the planet’s unique giant beasts to the microorganisms invisible to the naked eye.

Any creature, any living thing, had their consciousness collapsed under this horrifying Mind Shock, falling into madness.

The order of human society ceased to exist.

It’s safe to say the planet’s entire order and ecosystem were completely erased under the attack of the gigantic cannon.

No one was spared.

Chen Ming didn’t linger on the sight of all creatures falling into madness and the planet collapsing; even in a simulation, this scene had a severe impact on him.

He once saw animals driven mad by the influence of the Mind Pulse.

But those were just animals; no matter how crazy they were, they didn’t seem excessive to Chen Ming.

Humans were completely different.

Those who fell into madness would produce a special substance in their brains, which would cause their bodies to rapidly decay after death.

The sight of an entire city, an entire planet turning into a rotting world was very difficult for him to accept.

This was probably the real consequence the Mechanical Race could cause in reality.

Chen Ming closed his eyes tightly before reopening them, burying the images he had just seen deep in his heart.

Then he turned his attention to the records in the rebel ships that had not yet been destroyed.

These earlier records should contain more detailed information.

Not much earlier, just about three minutes ago.

Cheng Xinghe was preparing to, according to the information collected by Song Pu in the past two days, lead the fleet to track the new rebel fleet.

However, just as he was ready to depart with the fleet, the Mechanical Race fleet jumped directly and appeared near the headquarters. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

There was no time to react, not even to call Chen Ming.

The mother ship had already precisely targeted the location of the Rebel Headquarters.

Song Pu only managed to send a final message via the terminal before the mother ship instantly destroyed the colony on the planet, killing Song Pu, Hong Guanghong, and Dong Miao at the headquarters.

If Dusk’s invasion was just a casual raid, then the Mechanical Race’s invasion was aimed directly at extermination, without any bit of reason.

At that moment, Cheng Xinghe was stunned, his first thought was to retreat and preserve the remaining forces.

But the new rebel fleet he aimed to track also jumped here with the Mechanical Race, appearing in front of Cheng Xinghe’s fleet and launching an attack.

Even though the new rebel fleet didn’t have the Main Ship, they did manage to hold off Cheng Xinghe for a moment.

Those few seconds of being held back were the difference between life and death.

The Mechanical Race had already noticed Cheng Xinghe and instantly destroyed both his and the Government Army’s fleet.

This was the entirety of what had just happened.

And in the brief two or three minutes while Chen Ming was reviewing the records.

A few ships used the Superspace Teleportation Engines designed by Chen Ming, dangerously entering hyperspace within the star system, avoiding the gravitational well, and successfully jumped to escape.

But the vast majority of the rebel fleet had already been completely wiped out.

Even the Mechanical Race’s mother ship used its Main Level weapon to completely destroy the remaining three planets with colonies in the star system.

After accomplishing this, the Mechanical Race regrouped into a formation suitable for jumping and would soon jump to the next star system.

If the Mechanical Race could appear in this cursed location, then the next star system to jump would be one controlled by the rebels.

At this moment.

Chen Ming finally understood what his sudden headache two days ago was foreshadowing.

The new rebel fleet that suddenly appeared was merely bait to lure Cheng Xinghe to return with the fleet, making it easier for the Mechanical Race to capture everything in one go.

Chen Ming looked at the intelligence he personally acquired, his expression starting to gradually change.

Cheng Xinghai keenly noticed Chen Ming’s change and said, "Looks like you’ve got some bad news over there."

In this situation, Chen Ming felt no need to hide it: "Yes, apart from me, all my teammates are dead."

Cheng Xinghai was also momentarily stunned upon hearing the news and asked, "What happened?"

"At this point in time, the only force that can directly attack our headquarters and swiftly wipe us out is one."

Cheng Xinghai quickly thought of the answer.

"Mechanical Race?"

"Yes, a mother ship appeared directly at our headquarters."

Cheng Xinghai showed an expression of surprise.

She put down her terminal, stretched to relieve the stiffness from maintaining the same position while playing games, and said, "Looks like it’s about to end."
