Chapter 110 Polina

The two returned to Base No. 1 and found that Polina didn't care about anything else. She was absorbed in fiddling with her own things. As for everything around her, even death, she didn't seem to care. The ease and smile on her face weren't fake. That Polina… she couldn't be considered a normal person.

"Brother Li, can you not kill her…" Romero said, looking at Polina. Whenever he looked at Polina, his eyes would unconsciously soften.

"What are you talking about? The war is over, and your plan of enduring humiliation and bearing the burden has been a great success," Li Wu smiled. "The great Martian warrior Romero sacrificed himself to go undercover in Kepler, using me as bait at a critical moment to defeat Nangong Yuhang and save humanity. Isn't this a good ending?"

Romero was dumbfounded. They could make it up like that???

Li Hao patted Romero on the back; he originally wanted to pat his shoulder, but with his current height, he could only reach his waist. "Brother, you are the real hero!"

Romero's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little red. He had been seen through, with no secrets left. The reason he cooperated so well with Nangong Yuhang was never for revenge. He was a Martian warrior. Nangong Yuhang wanted to destroy humanity and Mars, so he was his enemy. In fact, there was no need for any reason. It was just that a true warrior couldn't say so many high-sounding words. People like them just did things silently.

Romero sighed to the sky, giving in. "Brother Li, I'm not a hero. The real heroes are already buried in Kepler."

Li Hao was silent. Yes, what were they? This was the greatness of humanity; every small soul was a real existence. If they abandoned everything and finally obtained eternal life and infinite power, what would be left of living? Only boundless loneliness. Sometimes he didn't understand why Nangong Yuhang was so crazy. Wasn't it good to be a human being?

"What are you planning to do in the future?" Li Wu asked, looking at Romero's condition. "I wonder if there's a way to reverse it?"

"I don't know. Actually, it doesn't matter. Isn't it pretty cool now? Besides, I've never cared about other people's opinions. My mission is complete, so any way is living."

Li Hao smiled. "Everyone has their own way of living. The key is to live happily. Why care about other people's opinions? The process may be a little painful, but sooner or later we will have to learn to accept coexistence with other civilizations."

Romero looked at the sky. "Except for you, I'm not afraid of anyone. But don't worry, I was once human. If they can't tolerate me, I'll hide. If that doesn't work, I'll leave."

Giant insects in the air began to fall one by one, and the giant insects that were chasing the five battle teams on the ground suddenly lost their target and scattered in all directions. The insect people sensed Romero's consciousness and quickly converged on Romero. Most of them were clones, turned into insect people after being made quickly. The meaning of their existence was only to execute orders. After Theseus and Nangong Yuhang fell, Romero, the only second-stage Insect God General, became the supreme leader.

Depuya and Perkins, these two unfortunate brothers, were responsible for covering the rear and had been besieged. Their mecha had been damaged, and Perkins had just blocked a claw for Depuya. "Damn you, I don't need you to block!"

"Can you shut up? It's already this time. I'll charge, see if you can break through. Save whoever can." Perkins was really annoyed by this guy who could never shut his mouth; probably only when he died.

"Bullshit, I'll die with you. I always thought I'd die with a beauty, but I didn't expect it to be you!" While speaking, Depuya killed a giant insect.

"Just make do. I don't want to be with you either, you damn blabbermouth. I won't even have peace when I die."

Looking at the endless stream of giant insects rushing over, Depuya knew he was done for. "Brother, see you in the next life."

"Haha, okay, fight these bastards!"

Just as the two were about to fight to the death, the giant insects suddenly scattered, leaving Depuya and Perkins staring at each other…

Tita's side was a little better. Her precognitive ability really played a big role, avoiding the main force. Zuo Xiaotang's mimicry ability was even more terrifying. He directly revealed his second personality and used a range mimicry, dodging wave after wave of giant insect sweeps. In this way, he even led the team close to Base No. 1, and then watched the distant Base No. 1 explode, followed by the collapse of the giant insects.

Chao Qinglong's side was in a fierce battle. Their entire team had been pinned down. Chao Qinglong took the lead in the life-and-death battle. The nine-headed dragon showed terrifying combat power, single-handedly holding off the giant insects and insect people in an entire direction. There was almost no general-level combat. Chao Qinglong didn't like to talk, but he was a giant of action. You could always trust Chao Qinglong.

The situations of Maxis and Basta were similar. The people from Apocalypse were not afraid of death. Death was liberation, and living was being a warrior. They had to fight because they believed that that person could definitely do it!

This was the belief of every Apocalypse person.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit. At the moment of life and death, the giant insects suddenly lost their fighting spirit and fled frantically, and some of them collapsed directly and lost their combat power. At the moment the battle ended, everyone was exhausted. The breath they had been holding on to suddenly relaxed. They… had survived. This situation probably only indicated one thing: they had won…

But just as everyone thought they were about to welcome victory, Li Wu suddenly looked at the sky, and his heart sank.

…It's over.

The battle in space ended more slowly than on the ground. After Theseus disappeared, the giant insects continued to fight under the influence of the brain worms. This was also a characteristic of the giant insect system. When the highest-level control "disappeared" or was "shielded," they would continue to fight for a period of time. And at this time, Markum activated the Dzhanibekov Axis Cannon, using all the anti-matter energy that humanity had accumulated over the years to fire a shot at the Kepler planet. This was also the first time that this forbidden weapon had been used in actual combat.

The entire human warship seemed to be still at this moment. If they didn't use this planetary forbidden weapon in a battle that had reached this point, the human expeditionary force would not escape the fate of being completely wiped out, and the Dzhanibekov Cannon was the only thing that could reverse the situation.

The rolling-drum strangulation also successfully tore open a gap, providing space for the release of the cannon. The terrifying energy shock greatly reduced the energy of the space fortress, and the shock wave brought by the energy caused the surrounding warships to malfunction. The giant insects in space also relied on instinct to sense destruction. If this shot hit, all life on the Kepler planet would become history. Of course, those warriors who participated in the airdrop would also be sacrificed. Under this forbidden weapon, no life could survive.

Markum and others had solemn expressions. With this shot, whether it succeeded or failed, they would have to bear a heavy psychological burden. Living was not necessarily easier than dying, but in this position, the fate of humanity was in their hands, and he had to fire this shot.

Markum took out his treasured revolver. Once the war was over, this would also be his atonement for the sacrificed warriors. History would judge the merits and demerits. As a human general, he had to do what he had to do.

The giant insect swarm abandoned the human warriors around them and rushed frantically towards the space fortress, forming layers of barriers in an attempt to use their bodies to block the Dzhanibekov Cannon. The human warriors also knew that the moment of life and death had arrived, and everyone was risking their lives to block the giant insects. In the struggle between civilizations, there was no fluke. Only victory could give them the right to continue to survive.

In the critical minute of life and death, the war entered its most tragic stage, and just at this time,

The energy of the Dzhanibekov Cannon successfully penetrated the giant insect's obstruction and shot into the near-Earth orbit of the Kepler planet, succeeding!

The eyes of the warriors on the space fortress were filled with complexity and tension. Coming to the war, every warrior was prepared. This was their last hope. They had finally succeeded, humanity!

Humanity had survived…

??????

Just at this moment, a huge spaceship suddenly appeared in the near-Earth orbit of the Kepler planet, a… never-before-seen ring-shaped spaceship. In an instant, the spaceship blocked the Dzhanibekov magnetic cannon… ?

Then all the energy of the Dzhanibekov Cannon was swallowed up by the ring-shaped spaceship and disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the entire space fortress was dumbfounded. Pang Pei's cigar also hung on the ground. An unprecedented fear enveloped humanity. Everyone even wondered if they were hallucinating, but how could the Dzhanibekov Cannon disappear?

Just at this moment, the giant insects in space seemed to suddenly lose their command and became chaotic. Part of them began to fall to the Kepler planet in large numbers, and some of the giant insects even lost their vitality on the spot and turned into space junk. This situation was spreading on a large scale, and the insect people were flying to Kepler one after another, as if they had received some kind of order.

The entire change left the human warriors in space dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened. This kind of scattered, aimless retreat was definitely only possible in a rout. Could it be that Li Hao and the others really did it?

The war seemed to be over, but no one was happy, because at this time, the huge ring-shaped spaceship lying in front of the human fleet was displaying a level of technology that surpassed humanity… no, crushed humanity. The terror brought by this level of technology was far more intense than that of the giant insects.

This foreshadowed that, in humanity's interstellar voyages, they had finally encountered an advanced alien civilization for the first time in a true sense.

Markum was still calm. As the supreme commander, he had to make the most timely orders. "All fleets stop attacking, stop attacking, stand by, all mobile warriors return to their respective combat units, maintain the highest level of alert!"

The ring-shaped spaceship emitted a strong energy light, seeming to have digested the energy of the Dzhanibekov Cannon, and returned to calm, not making any attacking posture. But in the next second, the command cabin of the space fortress was in chaos, and two figures appeared out of thin air in the command cabin.

Facing all the guns, one of the aliens raised a hand, and all the guns were instantly pressed against the floor.
