Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 121 Interstellar Major General and Top Mental Energy Analyzer 33

After Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's message was relayed back, and the legion commander and the central command held a meeting, Ji Han and his team immediately began packing up and evacuating from the planet they had just stayed on, returning to their original base.

The familiar planet, the familiar colors, and the familiar people bustling around—after arriving here, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu felt much more relaxed. After all, the final battle was about to begin, and who cared about the two of them anymore?

Of course, some people may be paying attention, but no one has taken action yet. After all, the bounty is obviously from the Zerg side. What if the Zerg are defeated after the war and all of them die? What if those people went through all that trouble to get Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's heads and still can't get the final payment?

No one in this line of work is stupid, so Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are, on the surface, safe until the final battle ends.

The border was once again under martial law. The logistics minister once again found Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, and the supplies on Reborn One were once again bought back by the legion at a high price.

On the fifth day after Ji Han and his group returned to their original base, the scouts ahead reported that they had discovered traces of the Zerg army. On the sixth day, all reinforcements arrived.

The entire Federation has a total of nine legions. Apart from the First Legion remaining in the capital planet and the Second Legion being scattered across various important resource planets, the remaining seven legions are now assembled at the border.

On the tenth day, the Zerg army finally arrived at the interstellar battlefield. This time, it was no longer a small-scale war on a single planet. Countless warships soared into the sky, facing the Zerg floating in the interstellar space.

War was imminent. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu went to the mech bay of the warship, took out their mechs, got into their mechs, and followed the main force out of the warship.

It's impossible to see the queen insect on the first day of the war. After all, she is the commander-in-chief of the insect race and cannot be found so easily. Moreover, according to the information that Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu found out that day, this queen insect is not currently in the egg-laying period, which means that even if she is in the decline period, her strength is still terrifying.

The two armies clashed, and the first shot was fired quickly. Shi Shaoyu, piloting his mech, did not rush forward. It was only the first day, and everyone was still testing each other's strength. Those who rushed forward were low-level Zerg and ordinary soldiers.

The first battle did not last long, and the losses on both sides were not significant. The Federation Legion suffered no casualties, and only three were wounded.

After the first probing attack, the Zerg launched a second wave of attacks three days later. This attack was significantly more intense than the previous one, and the Zerg on the field were also much stronger in rank and strength. Ji Han even discovered two high-ranking S-level Zerg.

The battle lasted all day. Just when Ji Han thought the enemy was in a bloodthirsty frenzy, the Zerg retreated. Could it be that the low-level Zerg suffered too many losses in this war?

On the very night the second wave of battle ended, the Federation's base was attacked by a large number of Zerg. Moreover, the Zerg that attacked the base were of a high level. The base was not prepared at first and the command room was almost destroyed by these sneaky Zerg. Although the command room was not destroyed, two high-ranking generals died on the spot, and the number of remaining soldiers was even greater.

The Zerg's sneak attack infuriated all the Federation legions, who even launched their own offensive. The energy cannons were used indiscriminately, bombarding the Zerg indiscriminately. The Zerg suffered heavy losses, although most of the dead were low-level Zerg, since high-level Zerg could avoid the energy cannons' attacks if they were fast enough.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu did not participate in the battle at the front. Instead, they led a small squad of elite soldiers equipped with jamming devices and secretly bypassed the battlefield to the side.

It wasn't that they didn't want to get behind the Zerg, but there were just too many Zerg on the other side, and they were everywhere. Even if they got behind them, they couldn't get close to the queen Zerg they were surrounding in the center.

Unless... unless all these low-level Zerg are wiped out, or most of them are destroyed, the Zerg will not reveal any weaknesses.

Fortunately, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were patient enough, and the firepower at the front was really strong. After only one day, the Zerg had to start pushing the lower-level Zerg on the other three sides forward little by little.

By the third day of this battle, the battlefield had reached a fever pitch. Most of the low-level Zerg had been wiped out, and the Federation soldiers had also suffered heavy losses. Ji Han and his men had now managed to get behind the Zerg, ready to launch a pincer attack at any time.

After several days of exploration, Ji Han has roughly identified several possible locations where the queen insect might be. Of course, Ji Han has also reported these locations to the command center. Now, the command center's energy cannons have locked onto these locations and are just waiting for an order to launch a general attack.

"fire!"

Several energy cannons fired simultaneously, aiming at different positions of the Zerg. At the same time, the Zerg launched a general offensive against the besieging warships, and for a moment, the entire starry sky exploded with brilliant fireworks.

"over there!"

Under the attack of the energy cannon, Ji Han finally locked onto the location of the mother insect, and Shi Shaoyu immediately led his soldiers to surround and attack the location indicated by Ji Han.

Unsurprisingly, his attack missed. After all, it was the queen insect. Putting aside its own strength, each of the high-level insects around it was enough to give Shi Shaoyu and his group a hard time.

Having missed his first attack, Shi Shaoyu quickly distanced himself from the high-level insectoids, while Ji Han took the opportunity to erect a small mental energy shield to block the mental energy attacks from the high-level insectoids.

Once the queen insect realized that her location had been exposed, she no longer needed to hide. She sent orders to the front lines, urging the insectoids to launch a full-scale attack, while simultaneously ordering the higher-ranking insectoids around her to quickly eliminate the humans who had ambushed her.

There were too many high-level Zerg, and even Ji Han's mental barrier couldn't hold for long. Shi Shaoyu and the others then launched a second attack on the mother Zerg, which happened to coincide with the attack from the high-level Zerg.

Shi Shaoyu launched various energy attacks, which the Zerg initially dodged. However, as they closed the distance, they simply used their tough shells to withstand the attacks. They even resorted to suicidal tactics to get close to Shi Shaoyu's mechs and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The high-level Zerg were reduced one by one, and the soldiers were also reduced one by one. The battle in front was fierce, and in the end, only Shi Shaoyu's mech and the mother Zerg were left facing off from a distance.

Sitting inside the mecha, Ji Han had disguised his mental energy as that of a Zerg from the beginning, occasionally harassing the high-level Zerg. At this moment, however, he had completely condensed his mental energy inside the mecha. The mecha was equipped with a shield, so no matter how much the mother Zerg scanned, it could not see what was happening inside the mecha.

Similarly, if Ji Han wanted to avoid being discovered, he couldn't freely extend his mental energy out of the mecha.

At this moment, the surrounding battle seemed to have faded away, and Shi Shaoyu and the Mother Insect seemed to have entered another dimension. The two of them automatically formed their own mental energy magnetic fields without any wind, but it was visible to the naked eye that the magnetic field on the Mother Insect's side was larger than that on Shi Shaoyu's side.

Soon, the mother insect launched the first attack, with two streams of mental energy attacking the mecha from the left and right respectively. Shao Yu would definitely be at a disadvantage in a mental energy confrontation, so he directly manipulated the mecha to flip over and dodge the attack, and then directly delivered an energy cannon to the mother insect.

While he might not be able to win in a mental battle, Shi Shaoyu was definitely stronger than the Mother Insect in a physical fight, not to mention that Shi Shaoyu had plenty of energy to launch various projectiles.

Shi Shaoyu was able to dodge the mother insect's attacks with his agile reflexes, and the mother insect was also able to dodge the shells fired by Shi Shaoyu with its keen senses. The two of them went back and forth, with Shi Shaoyu wanting to engage in close combat, while the mother insect wanted to fight from a distance. They advanced and retreated, and for a time, the two of them were evenly matched.

Ji Han hid inside the mecha. At first, he planned to launch a surprise attack on the mother insect, but later he found that this plan was a bit difficult to implement. If he did not use his mental power, he would not be able to see the changes on the battlefield. If he used his mental power, he would definitely be discovered by the mother insect. In a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult for Ji Han to get close to the mother insect by imitating the mental power of other insects.

"Snapped!"

Ji Han suddenly slapped his forehead.

"I must have gone mad from fighting; I couldn't even think of such a simple method!"

Ji Han's spiritual power entered Shi Shaoyu's sea of ​​consciousness without any obstruction. Soon, the two spiritual powers began to resonate and become homogeneous. In fact, because their seas of consciousness had been bound together, their spiritual powers could be completely integrated. Not only were they abundant, but even Shi Shaoyu himself could not distinguish which of the integrated spiritual powers was his and which was Ji Han's.

In this way, Ji Han's mental energy smoothly followed Shi Shaoyu's mental energy to the outside of the mecha. On the battlefield outside, there were explosions of energy and cries of pain from being injured and dying. Although Shi Shaoyu and the mother insect did not show any obvious injuries on the surface, Ji Han could clearly feel that the two of them were struggling to fight.

Even if Shi Shaoyu's mecha has a lot of energy, it will eventually run out. Once the energy is used up, even with his S-class physical abilities, he won't gain any advantage in close combat in interstellar space.

Similarly, the mother insect is also expending a great deal of physical and mental energy. It may not even be able to wait until Shi Shaoyu runs out of energy before its physical strength gives out. The battlefield is ever-changing, and a single slow movement could bring it annihilation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge mushroom cloud exploded on the front line.

"Hahahaha, didn't expect that, did you? Not only can you flank and ambush, but we Zerg can also infiltrate your warships. How about it, wasn't the moment your warship exploded beautiful!"

Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han gritted their teeth as they stared at the smug mother insect in front of them. Shi Shaoyu's attacks became even more ferocious, and the energy bullets he fired were much denser.

While the two were locked in a heated battle, Ji Han quietly approached the mother insect's spiritual energy. Every time Shi Shaoyu approached, it was the best opportunity for Ji Han to observe and imitate. However, the mother insect was too vigilant, and Ji Han did not dare to approach her casually for the time being.

Finally, when Shi Shaoyu was once again forced back by mental power, Ji Han spoke.

"Yu, that's enough!"

Ji Han finally succeeded in imitating the mother insect's mental power. He just needed to wait for the mother insect to launch its next attack so that the imitated mental power threads could retreat along with the mother insect's mental power.

Upon hearing this, Shi Shaoyu revealed a confident smile. He deliberately switched the mecha's attack weapon, giving the mother insect a false signal that the mecha was low on energy. Sure enough, the mother insect quickly launched the heaviest attack since the start of the battle against Shi Shaoyu!

A barrage of mental attacks came crashing down on Shi Shaoyu, who couldn't dodge them even if he wanted to. He had no choice but to take the hit head-on, and instantly a large hole was torn in his mecha. If Ji Han hadn't helped Shi Shaoyu build a mental barrier, he would have already passed out.

Even so, although neither Shi Shaoyu nor Ji Han has fainted, their condition is far from good, after all, the mother insect's mental strength is even higher than Ji Han's.

It was this attack that alerted the mother insect to Ji Han's presence.

"Wow, there's a little mouse hiding inside this mech?"

Through the shattered mech, the queen beetle looked at the two humans, blood trickling from their mouths, her crimson eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

"This is perfect! I've hit the jackpot! I managed to take down two enemies in one battle! Hahahaha, great, great!"

Ji Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gave Shi Shaoyu a reassuring look, Shi Shaoyu's eyes darkened, then he raised his head and gave the mother insect a look of resignation.

"You want to kill us? Dream on!"

As he spoke, Shi Shaoyu used the mecha's remaining energy to unleash a barrage of energy projectiles at the mother insect. Just like Shi Shaoyu had just done, the mother insect had no way to dodge. However, the mother insect was confident that its shell was tough enough, so it tucked its head into its shell and curled up into a ball, trying to use its back to resist the energy projectiles. At the same time, its mental energy also densely wove a small protective shield around it.

Energy projectiles rained down, exploding into dazzling blooms in mid-air. However, none of these directly harmed the mother insect. Her mental protective shield blocked most of the attacks. Even if a small amount of energy passed through the shield and reached the mother insect, it was all absorbed by her body.

The female insect, not in the egg-laying period, has only one weakness: its neck. However, whenever it encounters danger, it will retract its neck into its shell. The female insect in the egg-laying period has an additional weakness: its abdomen. When the female insect enters the egg-laying period, the hard shell of its abdomen becomes very soft.

The female insect in front of them was clearly not in its egg-laying period. Shi Shaoyu fired a bunch of energy bullets at it, but it didn't bleed a drop. However, its mental attack not only damaged their mechs, but also caused internal injuries and blood to flow from the corners of their mouths.

Seeing that Shi Shaoyu's all-out attack had left her unharmed, the mother insect became even more arrogant. She stretched her head out of her shell and laughed wildly at Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, you humans are so funny! Just now, seeing how you were about to eat the bug, I thought your attack would be incredibly powerful, but what happened? What happened? I didn't even feel any pain! It's hilarious!"
