Dying Beyond Death Chapter 8

After a long talk with Alex, Michael returned to the cabin, and the smile that had been hanging on his lips suddenly disappeared. He sniffed his left hand and curled his lips indifferently: "I really know something incredible."

Then, he operated on the optical computer and connected to an encrypted channel. A holographic projection of a gray-haired man appeared in the air. Anyone present could recognize this man, the commander of the Fifth Legion - Admiral Wayne.

Wayne is a legendary figure. He won a battle with a smaller force against a larger one, which amazed everyone. Unfortunately, he has been quiet recently. The Fifth Legion he led has not made any achievements for a long time, and his prestige among the people has also declined a lot. In this special period when the marshal is seriously ill, this is really not a favorable situation for Wayne.

On the contrary, his biggest competitor, Admiral Reese of the Second Legion, has seen his popularity rise steadily in recent years due to the success of the special operations force Fenglei formed by his son Colonel Sewitt.

In order to compete for the highest position in the military, Wayne made a lot of moves behind the scenes, but with little success.

"Sir," Michael saluted.

Wayne frowned, looking dissatisfied: "It's too risky to contact directly on the Fenglei."

"Sir, I just learned a very important piece of information. Alex Nathan, the newcomer that Jason values   very much, is actually an oNathana. And Jason and Henry Reiner seem to have a disagreement over this matter."

"It's indeed good news. Thank you for your hard work." Wayne nodded thoughtfully.

Even when they arrived at the combat command room, David Lu's anger had not subsided. Alex's actions had already violated his bottom line. A man in military uniform actually knelt down so undignifiedly.

"Henry Reiner, what happened?" It had been a long time since he had seen his emotions fluctuate so much, and Xuit felt a little weird. He always felt a little unhappy. In the past, he was the only one who could make Henry Reiner change his face.

"It's nothing important, let's talk business first."

Although he felt as if his heart was crawling with thousands of ants, Xuit put aside all his questions and turned on the holographic projection.

"This is the star map we recaptured last time. Look at the coordinates." Xuite zoomed in on a certain point.

"Is this... a wormhole?"

"Yes, according to the images sent back by the reconnaissance robot, this wormhole seems to be connected to the Zerg territory, and it is in the center."

"What? This side of the wormhole is behind the Malachi Line of Defense. Once this wormhole is discovered by the Zerg, the consequences will be disastrous." David Lu said.

Although for humans, only those with a 3s physique can pass through a wormhole without being crushed by a high-quality wormhole, for Zerg, such a restriction is not too harsh, and high-level Zerg basically have a 3s level physique.

Xiuite nodded: "The mission assigned by the military this time is to use the high magnetic energy R-1 to induce the collapse of the wormhole, but I have an idea."

David Lu naturally replied: "Do you want to go to the wormhole to take a look?"

Xuite has always made annihilating the Zerg his greatest goal. However, as long as the Zerg Queen exists, there will always be a steady stream of Zerg harassing the human territory. But the Queen has been hiding in the heavily protected center of the Zerg territory, with no trace to be found. Now, with such a good opportunity, it is not surprising that Xuite wants to go over and investigate.

"You still understand me." Xiuyit grinned, intending to give David Lu a big smile.

"This is not in compliance with regulations."

Hearing this, the corners of Jason's mouth that were halfway up suddenly fell down, and he looked very depressed. In the original world line, Henry Reiner finally did not agree to go to the other side of the wormhole with Jason. The one who went with him was Alex. After the two experienced life and death together, Jason became more determined to keep Alex in Fenglei. After that, the conflict with Henry Reiner became more and more intense. How could David Lu let this happen? Anyway, the children of destiny are destined to love each other, and it doesn't matter if a little detail is changed.

"However, if we explore in a private capacity..." Before David Lu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiuyi who pounced on him.

"Little Nana, you are indeed my sweet little angel. I really love you so much!"

David Lu, who was caught off guard by the hug, pushed away Victor who was wagging his tail coldly, "Now, let's talk about Alex's problem."

During this period, Victor, who was overwhelmed by his passion, calmed down and thought carefully. It was indeed as David Lu said, Alex's existence could lead to the death of the entire Fenglei at any time. Putting the entire team in such a dangerous situation was not what a qualified leader should do. However, when he remembered that Alex was Sergeant Nathan's child, he could not ruthlessly hand Alex over to the law enforcement team for handling.

Xiuite glanced at David Lu. He looked calm, his brows were still slightly furrowed, and his pale lips were gently pursed. This look, which seemed a little cold to others, made him feel at ease.

With Henry Reiner around, things can always be solved properly. When did Henry Reiner become the dominant person between them? In childhood, Henry Reiner was still a shy little boy who always followed him around. I don't know when it started, but Henry Reiner suddenly grew up, became mature and calm, and nothing could make him raise an eyebrow.

Henry Reiner was so reliable, but it had been a long time since he had seen him smile happily. Xiuit suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, like a distressed feeling.

"Commander, Commander? Jason!"

His random thoughts were interrupted by David Lu's voice, and Xiuyit sat up straight: "By the way, you were so angry just now, was it because of Alex?"

David Lu nodded: "From my personal point of view, I don't think Alex Nathan is suitable to be a soldier. However, considering Sergeant Nathan, I think we can give him a chance. Do you know General Dylan Shaw?"

Dylan Shaw is a legend. He is the only oNathana general in human history. Born into a military family, Dylan received a tough education since childhood. He was unwilling to marry and have children, and was trapped in a small space. He chose to remove his glands, gave up all the special rights of oNathana, and became a soldier. He then became brilliant and left a strong mark in history.

Without David Lu finishing his words, Xiu Yite understood what he meant. "I will talk to Alex. If he is unwilling, I will ask him to submit his retirement report."

The military required Feng Lei to complete the task of blowing up the wormhole within a month. Without further ado, Xiu Yite and David Lu set out for the wormhole after confirming all the details.

Even with a 3S level physique, traveling through the wormhole still made David Lu feel a little dizzy and nauseous. He took a few deep breaths and barely suppressed the uncomfortable feeling. David Lu began to cooperate with Victor to explore the surrounding situation.

The experienced two soon found a planet in the north of the wormhole, which was at a moderate distance from the star and had a stable orbit, and was very likely to have life. So the two chose that planet as their first stop.

This planet is in an extremely primitive state. Tall trees cover the sky, and wildly growing vines weave a huge network on the ground. However, it is too quiet here, without any sound of any living creatures. This is not normal, on a planet so suitable for the emergence of life, coupled with the sticky touch underfoot, and the sweet and fishy smell in the air, this is the territory of the Zerg. Only experienced warriors can smell this special smell. David Lu and Xiu Yite looked at each other with solemn expressions.

David Lu squatted down, grabbed a handful of white material on the ground and examined it carefully: "It is the egg shell of the Zerg. It seems that this planet is very likely the hiding place of the queen..."

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty." As soon as the words fell, Xuite's figure flashed and pounced out like a cheetah, and his right leg hit the belly of the sneak attacking Zerg like a long whip.

The Zerg was kicked and hit the stone wall hard, and many fragments fell off the stone wall. However, the Zerg just shook its head and pounced forward again without any damage.

The Zerg that pounced over was covered in golden scales, with a pair of transparent wings on its back, and the antennae on its head were almost twice as long as its body. This was the high-level Zerg that only appeared around the queen - the Guardian Zerg.

As the queen's elite troops, the guard bugs are extremely rare, and nearly a million eggs can hatch one guard bug. In contrast, the guard bugs are extremely powerful, and almost no weapon can break through their golden scales, but the mecha can cause damage to them. However, the queen's mental network must cover the entire planet. Once the mecha is taken out from the space button, the energy fluctuation will inevitably be discovered by the queen. If there are a few more guard bugs, the two will have difficulty flying even if they have wings.

David Lu held the dagger and cut into the side of the guard insect, trying to attack the seemingly vulnerable part under its wings. Then, as the knife penetrated, he found that it seemed to be a piece of jelly-like tissue fluid, which could not cause any harm to the guard insect.

In the stalemate, David Lu saw Victor making a gesture, signaling him to attract the attention of the guard insect. David Lu made a quick decision and stabbed into the mouth of the guard insect. He was very fast and left the moment the guard insect closed its mouth. The dagger cut a long gash in its mouth without armor protection.

The guard insect let out a sharp howl in pain, and angrily focused all its attacks on David Lu. Although David Lu pulled his hand away quickly, his hand was still dripped with the corrosive saliva of the guard insect, making a burning sound. His face remained unchanged, and he still evaded the insect's attack with agility. However, it was still a bit difficult for one person to fight against the guard insect without the help of a mecha.

The high-intensity movement quickly fatigued his muscles. David Lu slowed down for a moment, and the sharp mouthparts of the insect were about to fall on his shoulder. If the attack was carried out, half of his arm would be torn off.
