The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Another Encounter with a Scumbag

The defense perimeter formed by the humans’ starships left no gaps for the countless star beasts swarming forward. Ji You watched that scene, feeling speechless, as if her eyes could not open wide enough and her mouth was not agape enough... an endless admiration filled her heart...

So, humans are this powerful?

So, slaying star beasts really can unite everyone’s strength to block them outside, not allowing them even an inch forward.

So, this is what top-tier warriors are?

So, this is the military force of the Alliance?

...

Ji You was left with her mouth agape, unable to calm her heart for a long time.

Those swarming star beasts, regardless of size or type... were all pulverized under the artillery fire of the ten massive starships, disappearing into the horizon.

But!

The star beasts seemed tireless, utterly fearless of death, as they incessantly and continuously advanced toward the direction of the space rift...

Watching this scene, Ji You’s heart gradually sank.

Yue Qiyuan lost his color, saying, "Something’s wrong. The incoming star beasts are all below Level 8, above Level 5, none are particularly high-level beasts."

Yue Qiguang pressed his lips tight.

Chu Jiaojiao was already stationed by the turret, ready to support at any moment.

Sheng Qingyan, Liu Fufeng, Shen Changqing, all fully equipped as Yue Qiyuan said, the incoming star beasts were mostly middle and low-level star beasts, without particularly high-level ones. Perhaps a greater crisis awaits behind...

And just moments later, Level 8 star beasts appeared among the group, along with Level 9 ones...

Ji You’s heart sank to the bottom.

The humans’ artillery fire did not cease.

Ji You turned to He Bi, asking, "Senior, should we prepare for support?"

He Bi raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then squinted his eyes, still staring at the monitor, and said, "No need, our mission is to enter the space rift, ignore everything else."

Ji You was stunned.

Yue Qiguang could not help saying, "Are we really going to ignore it? But—"

"Ignore it? How do you plan to ignore it?" He Bi squinted, questioning Yue Qiguang back, his dark eyes remain calm, the voice extremely light: "If even one of the military department’s strongest forces cannot handle this group of star beasts, do you really think you can with your paltry skills?"

This sentence was thunderous, rendering the agitated Yue Qiguang, the eager-to-fight Chu Jiaojiao, and the ready Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, among others, on the spaceship, all stunned.

He Bi had no penchant for being a psychological counselor; his eyes remained fixed on the monitor with its gradually splitting rift, regarding neither the fierce battles in the starry sky nor the psychological issues of the second-year kids on the spaceship, completely indifferent as time ticked away.

One high-level star beast after another rushed forward, tearing through humanity’s first defense perimeter and advancing inside. Suddenly, the ten starships dispersed completely, encircling the frontmost group of star beasts above Level 8. Immediately, the ten regrouped into a new formation; on one hand, a massive firepower continued slaughtering the swarming low-level star beast group, while on the other, an intricately equipped mecha group suddenly jumped down from the starships, charging toward those high-level star beasts!

Boom~

Boom~

Boom~

The sound of gunfire, fighting, and the angry roar of star beasts mingled with the rift’s tearing boom... creating a complex, breathtaking symphony...

At this moment, among the resolute and brave mecha team battling high-level star beasts, one mecha suddenly fell behind, swiftly torn apart by the star beast group.

He Bi’s long indifferent face showed a sudden movement at his fingers.

Ji You’s heart sank; she couldn’t help turning her face away, not daring to look or think deeply. As she turned her face away, Ji You gritted her teeth and reluctantly turned back again.

She couldn’t escape.

The more painful, agonizing, or difficult it is... the less she could escape.

She must confront it head-on!

Must face it, because escaping won’t solve any problem.

Ji You tried hard to tell herself, then she stared without blinking at the screen outside, witnessing the mecha team with overwhelming advantage completely annihilate the encircled group of high-level star beasts!

The moment was exhilarating, and Ji You clenched her fist fiercely! A sense of cathartic joy rose, but as her gaze swept over the shattered mecha, Ji You’s heart ached again, instantly dissipating the earlier joy.

The battle was urgent; after wiping out an encircled group of high-level star beasts, the mecha team didn’t pause but quickly headed toward another batch, while the shattered mecha drifted alone in the starry sky. Then Ji You clearly saw it struck by a star beast’s tail, hurled out of humanity’s defense perimeter, with fragments scattering in every direction...

Some drifted alone...

Some batted even further by star beasts...

Some directly swept into artillery fire, turning to ashes...

Ji You gripped her fist tightly, remaining silent; beside her, He Bi at the main control also displayed no expression.

It was then, when a few star beasts flapping their massive wings howled in, directly crashing into a starship, smashing its protective shield with such force that a few unsuspecting warriors on the starship fell into the sky, turning into black dots...

Simultaneously, a mass of star beasts surged forward.

Ji You’s pupils contracted, her face turning pale!

She felt as if a hand suddenly gripped her heart and squeezed it tightly!

Ji You’s pale lips twitched a few times. At that moment, a slim yet powerful arm came across, a broad hand covering Ji You’s eyes, and a low, hoarse voice sounded beside her: "Stop staring at the screen, look at me."

Her mind frantically moved; the soul-disturbed Ji You responded reflexively to the voice, turning her head to meet He Bi’s deep, dark eyes.

He Bi released his hand covering her eye.

Ji You opened her mouth: "Se... Senior?"

He Bi’s voice was very light, saying: "Watch my hand. This coordinate I’m pointing to, see it clearly? When I order, immediately pilot the spaceship toward this spot, don’t look back."

Ji You’s heart tightened, asking: "Senior, what about you?"

He Bi’s gaze remained fixed on the monitor, voice still light, very light: "I will hold the rear."

Ji You’s heart sank.

At this moment, Ji You received the notification to confirm receiving the main control rights from the spaceship, asking her to confirm.

Ji You’s fingers trembled slightly, hesitant to accept.

He Bi said: "Confirm."

Ji You remained silent for a moment, then confirmed acceptance.

He Bi curled his lips, smiling: "Such a good girl."

Ji You glared at him: "Jerk!"
