“This… what the hell is going on? Why are these monsters attacking us?” Sun He was baffled.
“It’s a beast tide!” Shirley said in a low voice: “W38 is a waste star. While the environment is decent, there are many monsters living here.
These monsters usually don’t cause any trouble. But every few hundred years, a beast tide will occur. The monsters on the planet will go crazy and attack anything, especially those who seem weak.”
Weak creatures…
That’s what they are, right?
The camp quickly turned into a chaotic battlefield, with more and more people dying.
The guard, Judy, had already slain hundreds of various monsters. But they were still individual beings, no matter how strong, they couldn’t compare to the seemingly endless horde of monsters.
The elven women were all pushing their limits, some even got injured.
Boom boom
Another earth-shattering sound, a huge centipede-like monster appeared in front of everyone. It looked like a train, making people tremble with fear.
“We’re finished…” Guard Judy was filled with despair.
But as the centipede monster roared, several lasers directly shattered its head.
Everyone was stunned.
Then, a starship appeared in the air.
“This… where did this starship come from?” Guard Judy muttered in surprise.
Many starfighters emerged from the starship, and they began to slaughter the monsters.
In a very short time, they cleared most of the monsters around Sun He’s location.
At the same time, dozens of battle mechs jumped from the starship and landed on the ground. They surrounded Sun He, directly killing any monsters that appeared.
Shirley and Judy still couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Several transport ships landed.
The transport ship doors opened, and a group of female soldiers in military uniforms rushed out. Each of them held a gun.
“Secure the perimeter!”
“Secure the perimeter!”
These female soldiers, along with the battle mechs, established another defense line.
“These… these female soldiers…” Guard Judy swallowed her saliva. She looked at the starfighters flying in the air, then at the battle mechs.
She quickly understood what was happening.
A woman, wearing a different uniform than the other soldiers, walked straight to Sun He.
Sun He looked at her with a smile.
This scene seemed familiar.
The female officer knelt on one knee: “The Qingyun welcomes its captain back to the ship!”
“The Qingyun welcomes its captain back to the ship!”
The surrounding female soldiers saluted and said in unison.
Unlike before, this time, the female officer’s eyes changed when she looked at Sun He.
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan suppressed her questions and said seriously: “Captain, W38 has a large-scale beast tide. This is just the beginning.
We must leave immediately, otherwise, the monsters that will appear later will be difficult for us to deal with.”
“Okay.” Sun He nodded and pointed to Shirley and the others beside him: “These elves are my friends. Take them with us.”
“Yes.” Deputy Captain Tang Yuan glanced at the elven women.
There were less than ten of them, so taking them wouldn’t be a big deal.
“Princess Shirley, come with us.” Sun He looked at Shirley.
“This… thank you. I can’t believe you really are… a captain.” Shirley looked at Sun He in astonishment.
If it weren’t for the evidence right in front of them, they wouldn’t believe that this man was the captain of a starship.
“Let’s retreat first.”
Sun He took Shirley and the other elves onto the transport ship.
This was their only option. Even for them, elves with good racial talents, surviving the beast tide on this planet was almost impossible.
“Please… take us… take us with you!”
At this moment, several human women rushed out of the forest.
They were the human women from before. They managed to survive despite the chaos.
The battle mech immediately blocked the transport ship, aiming its machine guns at them.
“Don’t get any closer, or you will be shot!” A cold voice came from inside the battle mech.
The human women looked at Sun He longingly.
The woman with the scar on her face directly knelt on the ground, shouting at Sun He: “As long as… as long as you save me… I will do anything for you!”
The other women also begged him.
Deputy Captain Tang Yuan looked at Sun He, waiting for his orders.
Sun He glanced at the women indifferently. He said coldly: “Do you know about karma? Maybe there was an opportunity before you, but you didn’t grasp it.”
“Let’s go. If these people dare to threaten the mechs and the starship, shoot them.” Sun He turned around silently.
As soon as Sun He finished speaking, the transport ship doors closed.
The women sat on the ground in despair.
Especially the scarred woman, she understood what he meant.
On the beach, she had discovered the escape pod before the elf woman. But she had ignored it, even treating it as insignificant.
Shirley chose to help, and that act seemed childish and ridiculous to her back then.
On this waste star, survival was a struggle, and she actually dared to save others?
But now she knew she was wrong. This was karma.
Shirley planted her seed, so she got her fruit now. But she missed her chance.
Now, she could only watch in despair as the transport ships returned to the starship.
After the transport ships brought Sun He and all the female soldiers back, they took off again and returned to the Qingyun.
“Battle mechs prepare to retreat. Starfighter squadron cover the retreat.”
“Yes!”
Over ten battle mechs dropped several grenades, then activated their rear thrusters and flew back to the deck of the Qingyun.
Boom boom boom
After several explosions, some of the surrounding monsters were cleared.
But then, a wave of monsters surged again, and the human women who managed to survive until now became the monster’s prey.
“Retreat from W38!”
On the Qingyun’s bridge, Secretary Qiao Rongrong immediately issued the order.
She had seen a large number of flying monsters appear in the distance, and more and more powerful monsters were waking up.
If they didn’t leave, the Qingyun might be torn apart by these monsters.
