a thousand years?
Zhao Chen was stunned when he heard the time.
This is actually a war that took place ten thousand years ago?
That was during the time when the Gaia Empire still existed.
Zhao Chen looked at Insect Princess, who was still engrossed in eating.
a thousand years?
How could this little guy have lived this long?
"Little insects, do you know your lifespan?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Lifespan?" Insect Princess looked up, her mouth glistening with oil. "That depends on the insect's social class."
It can take anywhere from a few days to several thousand years.
Furthermore, the advanced Zerg possess the ability to hibernate, which greatly reduces the rate at which their lifespan is lost.
As for Granny Insects, I've basically never seen one die of old age.
The older ones will enter a dormant state and continue to exist until the Zerg are threatened.
These Zerg ancestors will awaken and fight for the Zerg.
Zhao Chen was surprised, not expecting that the Zerg would have such abilities.
No wonder the Order was so ruthless in its extermination of the Zerg; it seems they had taken the threat posed by the Zerg into account.
"Little bug, do you know how to get to your universe? Or rather, how to locate your universe?" Zhao Chen asked.
The little bug subconsciously said, "I know, we can just use cosmic positioning technology."
However, specific Zerg units are required.
Zhao Chen had originally hoped to extract some advanced technology from this little guy from the T6 technological civilization of the Zerg.
But now that I think about it, it's biotechnology, which is completely on the same technology tree as the JF-17.
This made Zhao Chen give up the idea.
"Are you going to take me home?" Insect Princess looked at Zhao Chen excitedly.
Zhao Chen was speechless for a moment.
If this war occurred 10,000 years ago, then the universe where the Insect Princess resides would most likely have already been destroyed or occupied by the existing order.
Moreover, Zhao Chen currently lacks the technological capability for inter-space travel.
Zhao Chen frankly said, "I'm sorry, I don't currently have the technological capability for inter-space travel."
I don't know where your universe is located.
So I can't take you back right now.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Chong Ji lowered her head, seemingly somewhat disappointed.
But perhaps he had already guessed this possibility, so he wasn't too sad, and just remained silent.
"But you can come with me now."
With me by your side, I can protect you and meet your daily needs.
"For example, these foods," Zhao Chen said.
"Really!" Insect Princess looked at Zhao Chen seriously. The delicious food in front of her was so good that she was almost forgetting about home.
"Of course." Zhao Chen nodded with a smile.
The Insect Princess wore an innocent smile.
With this, Zhao Chen's 'business trip' came to an end.
After further investigation and data collection in this battlefield area, and based on the signal torches of the Black Great Wall base, the coordinates of this area were determined.
Zhao Chen's Xiaolong personal guard fleet then began its return voyage.
The return journey was much easier than the way we came.
Knowing the approximate travel distance, we can directly use warp speed for navigation.
Accelerated by warp drive, the JF-17 Royal Guard Fleet returned to the Black Wall base a dozen hours later.
"Report, warp drive mode has ended."
"The fleet is five minutes away from the target area," the vice-captain reported to Zhao Chen.
"Let the interstellar reconnaissance ship go first, and we'll follow behind."
"Don't let your guard down," Zhao Chen cautioned.
It's been almost a month since I left.
Although he didn't think that anything earth-shattering would happen at the Black Wall base in just one month.
But it's always better to be careful.
Shortly after, the latest intelligence was sent in.
It's about the battlefield of the Black Wall defense line.
The Black Wall base is still in the hands of the Mech race, but the situation on the defensive line is not optimistic.
Compared to when Zhao Chen and the others left.
The Dark Legion fleet clearly advanced a bit, even destroying two sections of the Black Wall.
"A group of thirty T6 interstellar warships appeared from the Dark Legion fleet, forming an attack formation."
"With these thirty T6 interstellar warships, we've breached the outermost defenses of the Black Wall and are still attacking," the little succubus secretary reported in detail.
Meanwhile, footage from the battlefield was also transmitted back.
Compared to a month ago, it is indeed obvious that a section of the Black Wall defense line has fallen significantly, just like an apple that has been bitten.
"Commander, what do we do now?" The little succubus secretary looked at Zhao Chen, waiting for the commander's next instructions.
"Since we're already here..."
This dark legion fleet is destined to be our opponent.
"It would be a waste not to try it out." Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Pass on my orders."
The JF-17 fighter jet's elite fleet is ready for battle.
But remember not to get bogged down in battle; focus on attrition warfare.
Detailed recording of combat data may be helpful in our future dealings with these enemies.
"Yes, sir!" The vice-captain excitedly began to make arrangements.
During this nearly month-long business trip, I could only watch others fight their battles while I could only stare helplessly.
These captains, petty officers, and crew members had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.
Sudden.
An alarm sounded from the bridge of the Pluto.
An artificial intelligence phantom appeared beside Zhao Chen.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Extremely strong energy fluctuations detected in compartment U02. Please take immediate action! Please take immediate action!"
This is the AI of the Pluto, and its language is rather rigid, not as advanced as the AI of the Dragon Emperor.
Zhao Chen heard the information reported by the artificial intelligence.
U02 compartment...
Isn't this the cabin he arranged for the Insect Princess?
"You continue your operations, leave things here to me." Zhao Chen left the bridge without another word.
Heading to cabin U02.
U02 is a deputy captain's compartment, right next to Zhao Chen's captain's compartment.
This is the bedroom that Zhao Chen arranged for Chong Ji.
At this moment, a very strong energy fluctuation appeared in the U02 compartment?
That's most likely because of that Insect Princess.
Zhao Chen quickly arrived outside the U02 cabin door and used his access privileges to open the door.
The lights inside flickered, and the chirping of insects could be heard.
"Turn on the lights!" Zhao Chen commanded the smart device in the room.
'Smart devices in the house are malfunctioning...Smart devices in the house...'
A screen appeared next to Zhao Chen, displaying a series of static-like images with intermittent audio.
Zhao Chen frowned and slowly walked inside.
When he walked into the living room, he saw an astonishing scene.
On one side of the living room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, offering views of the universe.
The living room had become like a battlefield.
A figure was standing there.
A one-meter-tall figure soared into the air, with long, black, spiderweb-like spears behind her. It was these black spider spears that allowed her to float in mid-air.
At this moment, Zhao Chen and the little guy made eye contact.
It looks like the Insect Princess!
But at this moment, Zhao Chen was certain that this was definitely not the Insect Queen!
Because in those eyes, there was ferocity, anger, and a murderous aura!
The next second, the creature emitted a tearing, insect-like chirping sound and hurtled towards Zhao Chen.
