Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe smiled sheepishly. Although they didn't know each other's identities, it was a fact that the three of them had just defeated the Zerg. Afterwards, the allied forces held a victory celebration banquet.

At the banquet, Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe became the focus of attention. At this time, the generals of several army corps also came to Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe's side.

Among them, Mu Qingfeng of the Fourth Legion introduced Cheng Ying and her companion, saying, "Let me introduce you, young friends. This old man is a high-level superhuman sent from above. You can call him Senior Chu." He pointed to an elderly man beside him.

The two immediately stepped forward and greeted him politely, "Hello, Senior Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Chu Qingkuang looked at the two young heroes and nodded happily, "Good, good! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. This old man has witnessed it all!"

"You're too kind, senior. We're nothing but heroes. We've only done our best. It's our honor to serve the empire!"

"Hahaha, good, well said. Serving the Empire is indeed something every citizen of the Empire should do, but there are few young heroes like you who dare to charge into battle on the front lines!"

At this moment, the other generals and regimental commanders also praised Cheng Ying and her colleague, saying, "You two don't need to be modest. Anyone who can kill countless enemies on the battlefield and survive is a hero. Even we don't have that ability."

Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, someone suddenly came to report that a Zerg nest had been discovered and there was unusual activity.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe exchanged a glance. It seemed that the Zerg were too rampant and were still not giving up, continuing to do evil!

So the generals went to the conference room and immediately began an emergency meeting.

Each of the generals received a document. After reading the details, everyone understood the current situation.

“The Zerg hive is not too far from the planet Qierdao now, which shows their purpose in attacking Qierdao,” said Nan Chu, commander of the Third Legion.

Everyone discussed it and agreed that it made sense. Then someone asked, "So what are the Zerg trying to do now that they're acting strangely?"

"The closest place to Planet Qierdao is two other planets: one is an abandoned planet, and the other is Planet Nigur. The question now is, which one is their target?"

Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe, who were listening in, looked up in astonishment. What? It was so close to Planet Nigur! Planet Nigur was the first planet they had come to, and they absolutely couldn't let the Zerg destroy it.

At this point, someone suggested, "Why don't we use all our forces to besiege their lair now and see if we can wipe them all out, so we don't have to disperse our forces to defend both sides later?"

After a moment of silence, everyone finally agreed, "If all else fails, we'll think of other ways!"

Finally, it was decided to leave a squad of warriors to defend this area in case the Zerg attacked again and caught them off guard, while the rest of the forces would besiege the Zerg nest together.

After discussing the matter, everyone immediately took action, and all the troops headed towards the Zerg nest.

Soon, one interstellar warship after another arrived near the lair, and a sinister aura emanated from within, sending chills down one's spine.

Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe followed the main force into the warship.

Cheng Ying felt a vague unease; she had a feeling that this trip to the Zerg nest wouldn't go too smoothly.

As the warships approached the Zerg nest, suddenly, a large number of small flying Zerg surged out from all around, rushing towards the fleet like a black cloud.

The coalition forces immediately activated their defense system, unleashing a barrage of laser cannons.

Yu Jianshe and Cheng Ying piloted their mechs outside, and Yu Jianshe used the mechs' weapons to sweep away the swarm of insects.

Cheng Ying closed her eyes and focused her mind on sensing the weaknesses of the Zerg.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, waved her hands, and beams of supernatural energy shot towards the densest part of the swarm of insects.

The Zerg there seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, and they all exploded.

Just when everyone thought they could easily deal with these small insectoids, several medium-sized insectoids appeared at the entrance of the nest. They spewed out highly acidic liquid, which corroded the hulls of several warships.

The coalition forces had to adjust their strategy and send elite squads to deal with these medium-sized Zerg.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe immediately launched an attack and then retreated to the vicinity of the elite squad, intending to help them attack the medium-sized Zerg!

As they approached the medium-sized Zerg, Cheng Ying discovered that these Zerg seemed to have energy cores inside their bodies, and that destroying the cores would kill them.

So, the two worked together seamlessly. While the construction was drawing the attention of the Zerg, Cheng Ying successfully destroyed the energy core of a Zerg, which boosted morale. The group continued to take down the medium-sized Zerg one by one!

Just when there were only two or three medium-sized Zerg left, they were found to have retreated back to their nest.

They had no choice but to continue deeper into the lair.
