"Warning! Warning! Warning! Invading bugs detected in compartment 077. Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

A soldier cowered in a corner of the cabin in terror, using the starship's internal communications to request support.

Just then, a squad of fully armed space soldiers rushed out.

The soldiers were delighted to see these people; they were the Interstellar Marines!

These space soldiers are combat personnel assigned to spaceships, and they are rarely needed.

After all, these interstellar infantry are rarely used in modern interstellar warfare. They are only used occasionally when the war is nearing its end and a landing operation is needed to attack a starport, space station, or planet.

The soldiers watched as these interstellar marines, clad in individual exoskeleton combat armor and wielding laser guns, rushed toward the chamber where the invading bugs had appeared.

“These space marines should be able to wipe out these bugs.” The soldier looked at the hatch next door, and the space marines ran in. Then, the sound of gunfire and some kind of scream could be heard.

The soldier stood up unsteadily, his hand still gripping the wall.

rustling

Just then, the soldier heard strange noises coming from the next compartment, and most importantly, he also heard the soldier screaming in agony.

"This is... Er Gou Marine Corps 077. There are too many bugs... We have suffered heavy losses and are retreating. Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

Then, the soldiers saw groups of two or three disheveled Space Marines fleeing towards them. Some of them had broken legs and feet, and their bodies were covered in blood that they couldn't tell if it was their own or someone else's.

Behind them, it seemed as if some demon was chasing them.

Sudden.

A Marine with a broken leg, who was running at the back, was pinned to the ground by a bug that pounced on him.

"Help me...help me...help me!" the soldier with the broken leg cried out for help.

But none of the other Marines looked back; they fled with terrified expressions in their eyes.

The soldiers watched helplessly as the Marine with the missing leg was torn apart by a monstrous, mantis-like insect, his intestines still hanging from the mutated insect's mouth.

At that moment, the soldiers were horrified to see even more of these insects swarming out.

He immediately joined the Marines who were fleeing.

They fled towards the next cabin.

Just as we were about to enter the next cabin.

Suddenly, the cabin door slammed shut.

They locked the Marines who had fled here outside the gate.

The Marines pounded on the cabin door.

"Open the door! We haven't gotten there yet!"

"Open the door, you bastard, open the door for me!"

"Please, please open the door."

In a moment of panic, one soldier, disregarding the other soldiers in front of him, fired directly at the gate.

Unfortunately, their weapons were completely ineffective at breaking down the gate.

At that moment, the insects behind them attacked.

Blood splattered on the hatch, screams rose and fell, and then only the sound of chewing remained.

On the bridge of this interstellar warship.

The captain stared in horror at the internal map of his interstellar warship, where large red areas had appeared.

These red areas represent the occupied cabins.

One of the red areas is clearly aimed at the bridge. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Knock knock knock

The captain turned around abruptly and looked at the steel gate on the bridge that had already been lowered.

That was the sound of impact, as if some giant beast was ramming against the gate from the other side.

"Escape pod! Use the escape pod immediately! Emergency evacuation!" The captain pressed the escape pod button on his captain's chair.

But after pressing the button several times, the escape pod did not pop out at all.

"Captain... our escape pod seems to be stuck in something!" the adjutant next to him shouted in panic.

The captain's mood plummeted. Just then, he happened to be looking out of the bridge window and could see that several neighboring friendly ships were experiencing similar situations.

Some were lucky enough to eject from the escape pods.

But do we need to know what the surrounding environment is like?

There are bugs everywhere.

These escape pods that appeared one by one seemed like blind boxes to the insects.

They swarmed up to hunt these escape pods, which had almost no chance of survival.

At this point, the captain was utterly desperate.

He sat in the captain's chair, utterly dejected.

At this moment, the steel gate of the bridge was knocked in by the impact and a spider web-like crack appeared.

The officers on the bridge were terrified, clutching their weapons, some of them already on the verge of a breakdown.

Compared to enduring this torment here now, having to face terrifying insects is a far cry from what I'm experiencing now.

They would rather their interstellar warships be destroyed directly, at least that would be a quick and painless death.

They knew very well what would happen if they faced these insects. When they were closing those compartments, they heard plenty of agonizing screams from their comrades who had been abandoned in those compartments through the communication channel.

"captain......"

The captain looked at the weapon handed to him by his adjutant, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and simply pushed it away.

What use is this weapon against those insects?

Do you still want to survive in this desperate situation?

How is that possible?

The captain took out several grenades and placed them on his lap.

"This thing is the only way to die a quick death," the captain said with a wry smile.

The next second, the steel gate on the bridge was completely smashed open, and hundreds of insects swarmed in.

Gunfire erupted continuously for a time.

At first, the bridge officers' firepower was able to contain the insects, but as the number of insects swarmed in increased, some officers broke down and dropped their weapons in an attempt to escape.

Soon, the entire bridge became a living hell.

As the captain watched the insects devouring his soldiers, he suddenly thought of the planets that had been injected with the Zerg virus.

His subordinates might not know about this, but the captains of these interstellar warships did know what Qin Longcheng had done.

Those abandoned planets... when faced with these insects, are their inhabitants also filled with such despair and helplessness?

Marshal... perhaps... this is our retribution.

The captain pulled the pin on his grenade, and the explosion engulfed the captain's chair and the space inside the bridge.

Such incidents were not limited to this interstellar warship; they were also constantly unfolding on the surrounding interstellar warships.

This pillar of the Yan King's fleet, which had been the anchor of the army, was about to be completely submerged by the swarm of insects.

Dragon Legion Flagship

Sitting in the captain's chair, Zhao Chen could see the Imperial fleet opposite him through the starship's radar.

"You guys should also get a taste of what the trillions of lives you abandoned suffered before they died."

Zhao Chen stared indifferently at the signals of the interstellar warship units being devoured by the insects on the radar.

At that moment, he seemed like a judge.

Judging the sins of certain people.
