The entire hall was filled with a pungent smell, a mixture of the coldness of metal and the heat of energy.

At this moment, Karl's voice came from the speaker: "Yuchi Chenning, you are really persistent. But do you think you can catch me?"

The voice was amplified by the loudspeaker and echoed in the empty hall, with a hint of teasing and arrogance.

"Karl, you deserve to die too."

Yuchi Chenning raised her head slightly, her cheeks were firm and smooth, her shoulder-length hair was slightly curled inward, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair neck.

Her eyes were as cold as stars, and she scanned the surroundings calmly, trying to use her mental power to find Karl's hiding place.

The team members quickly spread out and formed a fan around the energy core device, using the control consoles and equipment as cover, with their guns pointed in the direction of the sound, ready for battle.

Carl's mocking voice blasted through the loudspeaker: "Your left arm has never healed. It seems that the Empire's medical technology is not that good."

Yuchi Chenning's eyes flashed, but her posture remained upright. Her left arm hung slightly unnaturally, and the outline of the prosthesis was faintly visible under the black clothes. It was the "memorial" left on the Sin Star No. 1231.

Her expression did not change. She raised her eyes and glanced coldly at the source of the voice. She opened her red lips slightly, and her tone was as calm as water, but it contained endless coldness and murderous intent: "So what if you can't recover? You still have to die."

However, in the face of her cold words, Karl not only did not show the slightest fear, but instead raised his head and burst into an extremely arrogant laugh.

He snorted with disdain on his face and said, "Death date? Humph, I don't think so. My life is not so easy to take. But you, Miss Yuchi, dragging a prosthetic limb and trying to capture me, you are really overestimating your own abilities."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the team members present tightened, and their eyes were all focused on Yuchi Chenning's left arm, with worry and resentment surging in their eyes.

Because everyone of them knew very well that the reason why Yuchi Chenning lost his left arm was entirely due to the horrific Zerg outbreak on Sin Planet 1231.

This was not just a physical pain for her, but also a pain and shame that could never be erased from the hearts of the Yuchi family and the entire empire.

Yuchi Chenning didn't care at all that her sore spot was touched. She raised her hand calmly to signal everyone not to panic.

Seeing this, Carl became even more interested and continued to shout: "The wound on your left arm back then, it must have been painful, right? I know it all. When your arm was cut off by the energy blade, your muscles were torn and blood splattered. I'm afraid that now that you see this prosthesis, you can remember the pain at that time. I really don't know why you are still trying so hard?"

Yuchi Chenning raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled calmly: "It seems that you know a lot about what happened on Sin Planet 1231. Do you think this prosthesis can hold me back? You are underestimating me, Yuchi Chenning."

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the blade of light in her hand, her posture becoming more and more steady, as if the pain she had felt back then was only an illusion.

How could Carl give up? His words became more and more sharp: "Minor injury? Don't be so stubborn. You are just relying on the vanity of your family to get an advantage from me. In the end, you will only be buried with yourself and your teammates. Go back obediently, maybe you can still stay alive."

Yuchi Chenning sneered, his voice as cold as a blade: "Stop your lies, Carl. My left arm injury is related to you. It turns out that the Zerg outbreak on Sin Star 1231 was related to you."

After hearing this, Carl's laughter gradually subsided, and an inexplicable chill surged in his heart. The confidence that he had won the victory quietly began to crack.

"Oh, then you try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a creepy "rustling" sound came from all directions, rushing in like a tide.

I saw dark shadows surging out from the hidden ventilation ducts and cracks of secret doors in the base. In an instant, the dim space was filled with densely packed Zerg.

They have different shapes, flashing crimson compound eyes, and the sound of their flapping wings is sharp and piercing.

Yuchi Chenning's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he quickly turned sideways, holding the light blade tightly in his hand: "Don't mess around."

The voice was steady and firm, penetrating the noisy insect sounds.

The team members moved upon hearing the sound, and quickly formed a tight defense circle with Yuchi Chenning as the core, with the butts of their guns against their shoulders and the muzzles pointed at the surging tide of insects. Laser beams instantly poured out like a rainstorm.

A gigantic pioneer insect roared and pounced, leaping up, stabbing the front row of players with its sharp mouthparts.

The team member was quick-witted and quick-handed, dodging the fatal blow by leaning sideways. At the same time, the energy gun in his hand switched to shooting mode, and a powerful pulse was ejected from the muzzle, accurately hitting the weak point of the pioneer worm's abdomen.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, dark green juice splashed everywhere, and the insect fell to the ground with a bang, twitching a few times and then became motionless.

But the Zerg was not afraid and continued to attack the defense line in waves.

Each of the team members had a grim expression and fought hard with gritted teeth. Sweat flowed down their cheeks, soaking their clothes and mixing with the insect fluid that splashed on their bodies.

While killing the Zerg, Yuchi Chenning kept an eye on the overall situation. Seeing that the Zerg's offensive was slightly weaker on the left wing, he decisively ordered: "Three people on the left wing, follow me to encircle and tear open a gap."

After she finished speaking, she led the charge, crouching and rushing towards the weak point of the Zerg, with light blades dancing in her hands. Wherever she went, the Zerg screamed and corpses were everywhere.

The team members followed closely and cooperated well. In a moment, the left-wing insect swarm was in chaos, and the originally airtight encirclement was torn open.

However, Carl seemed to be furious and controlled more Zerg to come, including several giant Zerg queens as big as mountains. They sat in the rear and continuously spit out eggs, which hatched into a new wave of attack force as soon as they landed.

Her eyes were like a falcon, penetrating through the layers of insect shadows and locking onto the queen insects. Their bodies were huge, and their shells were so hard that they glowed with a faint light. They kept spewing out insect eggs, and every movement shook the ground, driving the swarm of insects forward like a surging tide.

It is slightly smaller than the Queen Bug on Sin Star 0629, probably because it has not yet fully developed.

Yuchi Chenning was agile and used control consoles and abandoned mechanical wreckage as cover to evade and maneuver between the gaps in the insect swarm, being even more cautious in his movements.

Seeing that the distance was enough, Yuchi Chenning took a deep breath, jumped out of the cover, adjusted the power of the energy gun in his hand to maximum, and the light from the muzzle was so bright that it seemed like condensed stars.

With a "sizzle", a thick laser beam pierced the queen insect's throat. The queen insect seemed to sense something and twisted its huge body. The laser passed through its shell, sparking a streak of sparks.

Yuchi Chenning did not panic. He took advantage of the momentum to roll over, avoiding the Zerg that surrounded him, and took the opportunity to hold the light blade tightly.

At this time, the Queen Insect roared angrily, her huge jaws opened and closed, sticky saliva splashed, and she commanded several giant guard insects to pounce on her.
