I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1587: The Last Charge

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars

The bloody fight began in silence.

The series of Stringray A-1s formed into neat circular formations in space, like lancers that charged among the galaxies, they unleashed an assault on the splitters released by the worm ship.

The faint blue electric light flickered and intertwined into a death dance in the pitch-black universe.

The scorching laser tore off the flesh-red armor, the Klein particle beam and the cluster of acid fired back and forth in space, the Earth Fleet’s carrier-based starcrafts clashed into the splitters. They galloped, fought, and chased in the vast universe.

Every second, there was an electric spark that symbolized death or a splitter that no longer moved because its flesh-red horny armor was torn by the laser.

Everyone’s eyes turned crimson; their fingers were locked on the trigger.

The hot barrel was like a soldering iron in a blast furnace, the fangs and tentacles within arm’s length, the bloody and deadly breath was so conspicuous in the cold empty space.

A Stingray A-1 collided with a splitter. When the splitter pierced the cockpit with its fangs, the pilot shouted long live his motherland and smashed fist under the button under his seat.

The flame of the explosion engulfed the starcraft and the injured splitter together in a scarlet light cluster.

“GO TO HELL!”

Zhang Wei roared at the top of his lungs while he firmly grasped onto the control between his knees; every inch of his eyes was bloodshot.

With the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the flickering [Overload] in the lower right corner of the helmet, but at this moment, he did not have any attention left to focus on that.

The crosshair was aimed at the split-off worm that chased his comrade. He lifted the safety on the side of the grip with his thumb and pressed down on it with all his force.

Two flames appeared from below the starcraft, and the two short-range missiles blasted behind the split-off worm and blasted it to pieces.

Zhang Wei was about to turn the starcraft, but at this moment, a line of red characters suddenly jumped out in the center of the holographic screen of the tactical helmet.

[Retreat——]

...

Inside the Enterprise bridge.

The observer in front of the radar control panel stared intently at the holographic screen that reported loudly.

“Frontier fleet has entered the target airspace!”

“Import the coordinate parameters and bombard the target area!” Luo Hong immediately ordered.

“ROGER!”

They reloaded Enterprise on Luo Hong’s order and adjusted the direction of the bow.

The row of mass accelerators on the side locked the movement path of the group of starcrafts. At the moment when the last starcraft crossed the red line, a new round of bombardment began.

600,000 kilometers away, the splitters from the worm ship and Earth Fleet’s starcrafts were in a chase of life and death. The Klein particle beam with the thickness of an arm appeared from behind from time to time, and any starcraft hit by it turned into scrap metal.

“What are the people in the command thinking!” Zhang Wei firmly held the control and made tactical maneuvers to avoid the beam of light from the rear.

Perhaps it was because he had downed three split-off worms, the bugs chasing after him seemed to take special care of him. Several beams of light barely scratched his wings, and the instruments in the cockpit still swung wildly under the interference of the Klein particles.

Air combat was cruel.

Once the fight became a one-sided chase, the side being chased was like being in a bloody massacre.

Although the starcrafts were in a tough battle because of the number of splitters, there was still la chance of winning if they continued to fight.

Zhang Wei did not understand why the flagship temporarily took over the command of Frontier and issued an order to retreat. He only knew that if this situation continued, only a few starcrafts could make it back to the hangar alive.

Just as he cursed while avoiding the rays chasing behind, the situation suddenly changed.

Without any warning, the three splitters about six kilometers behind him, as if they were being slapped from the side by a fly swatter, burst into red and green blood mists one after another.

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then a glimpse of ecstasy appeared on his face as he looked in the direction of Enterprise.

Although in his current position, he could not see anything with the naked eye...

Almost as soon as the Frontier’s starcraft fleets passed through that particular airspace, dense mass projectiles arrived like dense raindrops. Of the thousands of splitters that chased them, over half of them were destroyed instantly.

The advantages and disadvantages of both sides were reversed instantly!

The starcrafts that originally fled immediately turned their guns and launched a second round of assault towards the fleeing splitter.

On the other side, Frontier and Judgment’s main guns were still aimed at that worm ship while they unleashed its furious firepower.

The mass projectiles and the nuclear torpedoes continued to hit the body of the worm ship at the same time. Large pieces of flesh-colored fragments were stripped from the body of the ship. However, that giant worm seemed to experience no pain. It completely ignored the mass projectiles and nuclear torpedoes that landed, and its speed climbed from 60 kilometers per hour to 120 kilometers per hour!

Two consecutive heavy mass projectiles were avoided. As the distance between the worm ship and Frontier narrowed to only the last 20,000 kilometers, the fleet of starcrafts that had returned finally rushed back to the battlefield in time.

Along with this group of starcrafts, there were 600 mid-range missiles launched from Enterprise...

There was no suspense at last.

After the worm ship lost the protection of the split-off worms, against the constant harassment of the starcrafts, the tentacles behind the worm ship were severed by laser weapons one after another. After it had completely lost its maneuverability, Frontier, which had been reloaded, fired another heavy mass projectile against the front end of the worm ship.

The flesh-red armor shattered into dust-like powder the moment it was hit by the mass projectile. The huge kinetic energy enough to shred an asteroid instantly destroyed all the structures of the insect worm and blasted it into pieces of flesh-red fragments.

Excited cheers erupted from the bridge!

People threw their hats in the air, hugged each other, and vented their excitement!

Especially on Frontier, when the captain saw that the worm ship was finally blasted 5,000 kilometers away, he collapsed down on his chair.

If it hadn’t been for the starcrafts that arrived in time, the ship would have likely collided with the worm ship by now. It was debatable if they could survive through the collision, but it was definitely not wise to start a close battle with the insects in the cabin of the starship...

The cold sweat on his back was blown dry by the joy of victory.

Inside Enterprise bridge, Luo Hong let out a sigh of relief, and slowly loosened his sweat-soaked fist, and forced out a smile.

The victory came too suddenly.

The decisive battle half a century later was unexpected pushed forward.

Originally, he thought that he would never hope to see that day in his life, but he did not expect that he would eventually become the hero who defeated the space colonization ship of Harmony civilization.

In ten years, perhaps it would be an expedition to Gliese 581.

Just as the thought played out in his head, the smile on Luo Hong’s face suddenly froze and the people that started to cheer gradually became quiet.

As people watched the image that gradually emerged from behind the Kuiper belt, a trace of fear started to emerge in everyone’s pupils…

“Sh*t...”

“God, what is that...”

“...”

A huge figure emerged behind the ring-shaped asteroid belt and hundreds of kilometers long tentacles slowly floated around it. Behind the flesh-colored film that was so huge that it looked boundless, there were clusters of dazzling spherical light particles.

The previous worm ship was not even as long as one of its antennae.

The three one-million-ton starships were just like ants at the feet of an elephant...

The joy of surviving the catastrophe disappeared.

There was no sound in the bridge of Enterprise.

Luo Hong stared at the giant shadow in the center of the holographic screen and fell into sluggishness, his Adam’s apple slid up and down with difficulty, but he couldn’t say a word.

At this moment, any language was just so pale and powerless
