Even with a strong physique, it would be impossible to withstand the self-destruction of the insect queen. By then, even if Mei Shi and the others had ten thousand reasons to argue, probably no one would believe them.

Thankfully, Julian arrived at this moment. With his mecha, it barely gave them a reason.

It was precisely because Ming Yi had anticipated this that he controlled Julian to follow behind them.

At a critical moment, he was able to appear, taking Mei Shi and Mu Chen and quickly flying away from the explosion site.

Although Mei Shi and Ming Yi worked together to withstand all the attacks during this process, due to the inherent characteristics of Julian's mecha and the fact that he was disoriented under Ming Yi's control at the time.

What else would the confused Julian know besides driving the mecha to run away? When the time came, they could just pass the buck and say that Julian had good skills, and no one could say anything.

Especially since the biggest advantage of this mecha called "Dream of the Deep Sea" was its stealth ability.

This wasn't the kind of stealth where radar monitoring couldn't find it, but physical stealth, the kind where you couldn't see it at all.

So, passing the buck was even easier.

We ran away before the insect queen exploded, isn't that reason enough?

Well, it's your problem if you can't see us.

Hearing this, Ming Mei couldn't help but praise Julian's mecha as truly excellent.

"Julian's mecha is really excellent!" Mu Chen couldn't help but praise his mecha. Ming Mei, who knew the truth, couldn't help but laugh and then told Mu Chen how Julian's mecha came to be.

Such a powerful mecha belonged to his dad.

And Louis, as the father, could only smile wryly at this moment.

It was one thing for his son to take his mecha out, but to have his relationship exposed in front of the entire interstellar audience was also caught him off guard.

Although he had known about his son's relationship for a long time, he had also considered Julian's age and status, so he hadn't directly announced it to the public.

After all, his little children were currently dating. If it ultimately worked out, it would be a beautiful story, but if they broke up in the end and something unseemly happened, it wouldn't just be a small couple's quarrel and breakup. It could easily escalate to a diplomatic level.

"When I was Julian's age, I was still foolishly studying at military academy." Regarding the commotion his son was currently causing, Louis, as an experienced person, made a modest remark. The secretary, Joan, standing next to him, only smiled without saying a word.

He had heard from Secretary Chen about the President's "glorious achievements" when he was young.

"Sir, should the official presidential account say something about this? Everyone seems to want to know your attitude."

"Just wish Qilan Star a smooth recovery from the disaster."

……

However, just as everyone was celebrating Qilan Star's rescue and gossiping about Lu Xiaoyao and Julian's relationship, the Fifth Army, which had failed to reach Qilan Star for rescue, seemed to be in big trouble.

"This wormhole is a bit strange," Wang Wenfei was the first to notice something was wrong.

The senior next to her heard Wang Wenfei's words and looked at her in surprise, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Just now, the news from Qilan Star said that the insectoids have completely failed. The insectoids there have basically been wiped out, leaving only those who had already scattered and fled. But the direction they're fleeing in isn't here."

According to Wang Wenfei's speculation, the wormhole they were guarding was the real reason why the insectoids were able to appear silently in the Canglan Star System.

After all, when they sent back the news, they also received confirmation from the Sixth Army that they had not discovered the existence of a wormhole here.

On one side, no one knew, and on the other side, the Fifth Army had really eliminated several waves of insectoids that had emerged from here.

This fully proved their previous guess that this was the key channel for the insectoids to invade directly without alarming the Sixth Army.

However, after guarding here for so long, Wang Wenfei also noticed something different.

"Not long ago, Qilan Star said that the insectoids had already begun to collapse and retreat. You said that this place isn't far from Qilan Star, so why isn't there a single insectoid shadow?"

"If the insectoids failed, and if they didn't return the way they came, where would they go?"

"Even the insect queen self-destructed. The remaining scattered insectoid groups are leaderless. Without a commander, they might not be able to find their way back."

Wang Wenfei's statement was actually just a kind of simulation thinking. The insectoids not retreating the way they came didn't necessarily mean there was a problem.

"It's not that there's no possibility. I just think that the insect queen's reaction was also very strange. It would rather choose to self-destruct than choose to retreat and leave! It seems that there must be a fatal attraction to the insectoids on Qilan Star."

Especially the impulse to destroy everything.

……

The battle on Qilan Star finally came to a temporary end.

On Ming Mei's side, a group of people flew back to the base again. Those who needed to rest rested, and those who needed to check checked.

The supplies and troops sent from the Sixth Army base began to rebuild, and the air defense technology of Qilan Star was rebuilt as soon as possible.

At this moment, the post-disaster Qilan Star could no longer withstand the second wave of impact.

Everyone took out the supplies they were carrying. Ming Mei saw for the first time that mecha were needed to transport supplies.

Inside the mecha, the pilot was actually carrying a pile of space buttons!

Ming Mei had rarely seen this kind of nesting doll-style transportation.

Even though technology is advanced now and it is very popular in the interstellar world, most of the materials transported are still used for military purposes.

Very few delivery companies use it. Space buttons are such a thing because once they are lost, or in the event of war, if the carrier has an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable!

But who would have thought?

Lu Xiaoyao and the others didn't dare to think about it, and neither did the insectoids. This time, the transport turned out to be a pile of combat mecha!

However, looking at the extent of the damage to the mecha, it was obvious that there had been a lot of fighting.

Among them, Jian Yunhe, whose mecha was the most severely damaged, finally managed to crawl out of the mecha. Before he could speak, his eyes went dark, and his whole body felt like it had been drained of energy. He was about to fall down suddenly.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyao, who had come to check the supplies, quickly grabbed her. She grabbed two bottles of nutrient solution from a robot that had just passed by with a pile of nutrient solution in its hand.

Robot: ? ? ? ?

"Drink a little first, no need to be so anxious."

Jian Yunhe knelt on the ground, without the image of the proud daughter of heaven she usually had.

While drinking, she turned her head and looked around. Qilan Star had been saved.

But it was true that the surface damage was also very serious.

Everywhere were ruins and debris. Her comrades with bandages were still busy shuttling among them. She couldn't help but sigh again at the cruelty of war.
