Task: Insectoid Disaster in North Wind Star Sector
Task Content: Cosmic Insectoid Hives have appeared in multiple locations within the North Wind Star Sector, with several Galaxies attacked, threatening the lives and property of tens of billions of citizens.
Task One: Eliminate thirty T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships.
Task Two: Annihilate ten billion Bug Units.
Task Three: Rescue citizens whose lives are threatened by the insectoid disaster. Corresponding rewards can be claimed upon reaching certain quantities (5 million people, 10 million people, 15 million people, 20 million people, 25 million people, 30 million people...).
Task Four: Please choose one from the three designated sub-task options.
Zhao Chen looked at the task page that popped up in front of him, his expression one of surprise.
The sudden appearance of this task page contained too much information.
An insectoid disaster in the North Wind Star Sector?
The system would never create something out of nothing, so that meant an insectoid disaster had occurred in the North Wind Star Sector?
Had it already happened, or was it about to happen?
“Report!” Lilith suddenly rushed into the Bridge, her face anxious: “Latest news, in the past five hours, a large number of Cosmic Insectoid Hives have appeared within the North Wind Star Sector.
As of now, we know of five Level 3 Cosmic Insectoid Hives, twelve Level 2 Universe Insectoid Nests, and forty-five Level 1 Insectoid Hives.
The affected area involves thirteen Galaxies within the North Wind Star Sector!”
Indeed!
The timing of this system task release was quite astonishing.
“Furthermore, just now, North Wind Governor issued a Star Region General Mobilization Order.
It requires Galaxies not affected by the insectoid disaster to dispatch 70% of their Lord Fleet to support the affected Galaxies!” Lilith said.
Star Region General Mobilization Order!
This was one of the highest authorities of a Star Region Governor.
It allowed him to command all Lord Fleets, and even private fleets, within the Star Region during critical moments.
This indicated that the Star Region was currently in a very dangerous situation.
And this was only within five hours of the insectoid disaster occurring.
This was dozens of times more severe than the insectoid disaster that occurred in the Water Lily Star System of the Azure Star Region previously.
At the same time, North Wind Governor’s handling speed was very decisive!
“Pass on my order, the entire Xiaolong Fleet has one hour for military preparations, immediately enter Level 3 combat readiness!” Zhao Chen issued the assembly order.
In fact, even without the system task, Zhao Chen could not stand idly by in the face of such an insectoid disaster.
Historical tragedies had already defined these Interstellar Insectoids; they must be crushed the moment they appear.
Otherwise, if you hesitate and observe for even a moment, these bugs, after getting enough food, could multiply and expand thousands of times in a very short period!
Zhao Chen’s Owl Dragon Star System was located in the North Wind Star Sector, and Zhao Chen clearly understood the principle of ‘if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.’
“Yes!” Lilith and Akatana immediately began contacting relevant personnel.
The Xiaolong Fleet, this war machine that had rested for over a month, began operating again.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen took a moment to continue studying his system tasks.
There were four task requirements. Task One, eliminating thirty T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships, was not difficult. Previously, Zhao Chen had single-handedly eliminated three with just one T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser.
The problem was whether there were enough T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships to kill.
So, this task emphasized efficiency!
He had to get the kills of these T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships before others.
Task Two required annihilating one billion Bug Units. There were no detailed specifications, which indicated that the most numerous ground-dwelling Bug Units were also part of it.
As long as there was enough firepower, completing this was only a matter of time.
Task Three was rescuing personnel. This task was slightly more difficult because rescuing people was often several times harder than eliminating enemies.
This involved the Interstellar Transport Ships needed for transferring personnel, and if a planet was invaded by the Zerg, it meant ground combat, where a slight misstep could lead to large-scale casualties.
These three tasks were nothing.
The fourth task was a bit special; was it a task within a task? A nesting doll of tasks?
It required him to choose one out of three sub-tasks.
Zhao Chen clicked to expand this task option.
Sub-task One: SP118 Planet Defense Battle
Sub-task Two: Morton Star System Zerg Battle
Sub-task Three: Sapphire Star System Third Planet Rescue Battle
These were three completely different sub-tasks, and their types also varied.
The first required defending a planet, the second required an interstellar decisive battle with the Zerg, and the third was a evacuation mission.
Zhao Chen’s mind stirred: Can I do all three of these sub-tasks?
Ding: The task only requires completing one, but if the host completes more, stacked rewards can also be obtained.
This was good.
Because these three sub-tasks could actually overlap with his previous three tasks. If he could complete the other two sub-tasks while completing one of them,
Getting more rewards would be the best outcome.
If he couldn’t complete them, then it was no big deal.
Zhao Chen pondered for a moment and finally chose the third sub-task: Sapphire Star System Third Planet Rescue Battle.
Why choose this sub-task?
The reason was simple: according to the data, the Sapphire Star System had a Star Gate, which meant convenient transportation; the Sapphire Star System Third Planet had a massive population, rumored to be as high as two billion people!
Even if Zhao Chen didn’t complete the entire evacuation, just completing one percent of the evacuation task would be enough to significantly boost Zhao Chen’s task data.
Zhao Chen opened the Star Map of the North Wind Star Sector and located the Sapphire Star System. It was three Galaxies away from the Owl Dragon Star System. If the Owl Dragon Star System had a direct Star Gate, he might arrive in half a day.
However, Zhao Chen had to make his Xiaolong Fleet travel through interstellar border space to reach the nearest Arctic Fox Star System and use the Star Gate there.
Just the travel time for that segment of the journey.
For the T3 Blizzard, it was estimated to take at most about two days of travel time.
But for other T2-class Xiaolong Fleet Interstellar Warship, it would take about five days.
Fortunately, the North Wind Star Sector’s actions this time were swift. Although the Interstellar Insectoids were coming fiercely, it should not be a major problem in the short term.
“Governor Chu’s suggestion to acquire another Star System is truly good. I can find a way to do it in the future. Having a Star Gate would be much more convenient,” Zhao Chen muttered.
For now, he still needed to deal with the current matters.
It was strange, really.
Within one year, the Starlight Empire had experienced three Interstellar Insectoids attacks, each more severe than the last.
The frequency of Cosmic Insectoid Hive appearances was simply too high.
Was all of this truly just a coincidence?
