"Report: We have reached the coordinate region where we can jump!"

"The required Wisdom-class interstellar jump ship is ready; preparations for jump can begin!"

Zhao Chen listened to these reports while looking at the interstellar battlefield sandbox.

At this moment, his Dragon Legion fleet was located between two stars, with the mutated Zerg relentlessly pursuing them.

"Execute the original plan. Clear this area within ten minutes and do not allow any mutated insectoids to enter."

"The Huiguang-class interstellar jump ship is preparing for interstellar jump!" Zhao Chen said.

"yes!"

Fifteen T4 Radiant-class interstellar warships hovered in this cosmic space, activating the advanced technology programs installed inside them.

This requires ten minutes of preparation time.

Within these ten minutes, the JF-17 Legion needs to clear out all the mutated Zerg in the area to prevent them from interfering with the upcoming interstellar jump.

Fortunately, the presence of two stars on either side provided a terrain advantage, significantly reducing the area the JF-17 fleet needed to engage in combat.

Zhao Chen stared at the interstellar war sand table, on which was a circle of red dotted lines, which marked the safe zone required for interstellar jumps.

With the seamless coordination of the three legion fleets of the JF-17, it took only a few minutes to completely wipe out the mutated insectoids in the area.

However, they still need to clear a defensive depth to create a safe distance for the interstellar jump process that follows.

At that moment, all the interstellar warships' radar systems went off.

"Report! An extremely high-intensity energy reaction has been detected at the location of the Snow Swallow Interstellar Fortress! Furthermore, the spatial fluctuations in this area are highly abnormal!" Secretary Lilith reported.

"Contact all the Wisdom-class interstellar jump ships and ask them if the current abnormal spatial fluctuations will affect our upcoming interstellar jumps!" Zhao Chen inquired.

Lilith will take care of it.

I received a reply very quickly.

It won't have any impact.

This relieved Zhao Chen and the others.

"Don't let your guard down. Nobody knows what kind of cutting-edge technology that PhD has developed." Zhao Chen looked at the several video windows in front of him.

Those were several hidden surveillance devices that Zhao Chen ordered to be deployed and left behind when they passed by the Snow Swallow Interstellar Fortress.

Although some of them may be destroyed by chance by the mutated Zerg, there are a lot of them, and some of them will be able to play a role.

Zhao Chen stared at the video window with the best view, and he saw that cracks had appeared on the Snow Swallow Star Fortress, which had been struggling to hold out against the mutated insectoid attack.

Spiderweb-like cracks began to spread throughout the entire Snow Swallow Star Fortress.

Then the entire Snow Swallow Star Fortress began to collapse, as if some terrifying force inside was absorbing everything around it.

The Snow Swallow Star Fortress collapsed very quickly, and was swallowed up by a crack in the blink of an eye.

That's right!

It's a crack!

"Record all the data and information," Zhao Chen solemnly reminded him.

“Yes.” Lilith nodded; she was well aware of the importance of this information.

This is their first time facing 'insect eggs,' and they want to gather as much intelligence as possible to prepare for future countermeasures.

At this moment, the crack was gradually widening, and all the mutated insectoids or interstellar warships that came near were sucked into it.

"This is... a black hole?" Chu Xuan frowned; its shape was very similar to a black hole.

"It is possible that our research on black holes is not yet complete."

"We only know that black holes are celestial bodies with incredibly strong gravitational pull, so strong that even light cannot escape from them," Zhao Chen said, squinting. "Therefore, it's possible that black holes actually have the function of connecting to another universe."

Chu Xuan scratched her head. She was an expert in military matters, but she didn't believe in this kind of obscure knowledge.

This terrifying crack was like a gaping hole in an abyss, with only an unknown thick fog visible inside.

“This size is roughly equivalent to a level two cosmic wormhole,” Charlotte said seriously.

Zhao Chen stared at the video screen.

The crack continued to grow larger and larger.

Some mutated insectoids that couldn't escape in time were directly torn apart by the rift.

The same thing happened to those interstellar warships.

"Report, our interstellar jump initiation is 50% complete, and will take another five minutes," the subordinate reported.

But this report only made everyone pay a little attention.

Their focus remains on that cosmic rift.

In just a few minutes, the crack doubled in size again.

"A level three cosmic wormhole," Chu Xuan muttered, her eyes already filled with fear.

"Report! Our radar system detected strong and unstable energy fluctuations in that crack... it's like they're about to burst out!" the crew member reported in a panic.

"Continue to observe and record."

A few minutes later, the cosmic rift finally stopped expanding. From a distance, its enormous crack looked as if a black eye without pupils had appeared in the universe.

Just looking at it gives one a very uneasy feeling.

"How much longer until we can leave here!" Lilith couldn't help but ask.

"It will take another minute and a half."

One and a half minutes.

That minute and a half felt incredibly long to many people.

It was even longer than the twenty hours they had previously endured under the siege of the mutated insectoids.

"Report! Our radar has detected something emerging from that crack!" the radar operator screamed.

Zhao Chen and the others stared at the cosmic rift.

One by one, enormous black shadows began to appear within the mist of the rift, slowly sailing out and revealing their true forms.

StarCraft Zerg!

T3-level Zerg mothership.

Around them, there were many T2 and T1 Zerg motherships.

One by one, they sailed out from that black gap.

"It really has... appeared, the interstellar Zerg!" Chu Xuan covered her mouth.

These emerging interstellar insectoids immediately launched attacks on the surrounding areas, targeting both mutated insectoids and the interstellar warships that had managed to survive.

They were all indiscriminately slaughtered by these interstellar Zerg.

"Interstellar jump preparation, 30-second countdown."

All interstellar warships, please return to your designated positions.

Lilith's secretary reminded her.

Charlotte then gave her final order: "Launch interstellar missiles toward these designated areas according to the pre-arranged plan to cover the fleet's interstellar jump."

The retreat of the Dragon Legion fleet naturally led to the mutated Zerg once again pressing forward.

But Charlotte was prepared, launching a barrage of interstellar missiles to several areas, preventing these mutated insectoids from hindering their interstellar jumps.

A series of halos began to appear, enveloping the starships present and causing them to vanish into thin air.

Hours before Zhao Chen arrived at his flagship, he was gazing at the cosmic wormhole.

Swish

Suddenly, Zhao Chen's vision went black. The next second, when he looked at the cosmic wormhole again...

Zhao Chen looked surprised.

Inside that cosmic wormhole, a gigantic eye was staring right at him!

Several times larger than a star!
