Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

    The ear-piercing sirens echoed in the night sky.

    From the dark sky above came a strange buzzing sound, and the scratching sound that was painful to the ears sounded from all directions, but the night scene in front of them was still seemed calm and peaceful, and only the pervasive and terrifying earth-shaking sound could be heard from all directions.

    Ge Xiu frowned: “What’s going on?”

    Haines looked solemn: “This planet is the center of the Federation and it’s covered with a light energy shield. Right now the bugs are trying to break through this shield — but with electricity cut off, it can’t last long with the backup power supply alone.”

    Joseph’s face paled: “It’s the first time they have attacked such a core place…how is it possible…?”

    Zergs have rarely launched an attack of this magnitude ever since the last insect wave had been defeated.

    Moreover, it was a fact that the planets occupied by Zergs were at least tens of thousands of kilometres away from here — how did they silently pass through the federal military defences and managed to invade here? !

    Haines narrowed his eyes: “This time the insect wave is not so simple — there was no warning from the Federation army, and if my guess is correct, they should have attack the satellites and power system first, to cut off the contact between this planet and the outside world, so we couldn’t ask for help, and then launched a large-scale attack.”

    Joseph’s eyes widened in shock: “This…”

    The high degree of familiarity with the federal military protection system, as well as the militarized combat skills… How could the Zerg that invaded and plundered driven by breeding instincts plan it to this point?

    His pupils shark and he suddenly looked at Haines: “Could it be… they evolved intelligence?”

    Haines’ eyes were heavy: “It’s not possible to make a conclusion yet.”

    At this moment, the dark night sky above his head suddenly burst out with a series of electric sparks exploding in the sky like fireworks symbolising death, and faintly light blue honeycomb patterns appeared in the air.

    The scratching sound became more and more terrifying and ear-piercing, as if it was close at hand.

    Through that layer of thin film, one could already see the densely packed Zergs clinging to energy barrier, pairs of scarlet eyes and countless hair-raising claws were looming ahead,  their ugly and bloated abdomens covered the sky one by one, making one’s scalp numb.

    There were low cries of despair and hysterical shouting from the people behind.

    They desperately tried to find rescue by dialling long-unavailable lines, and some tried to leave the building to warn their loved ones.

    Amid the chaos, Ge Xiu went to the window.

    He looked up at the sky and asked calmly,

    “What about the troops stationed on the planet? Why hasn’t there been any movement yet?”

    Joseph frowned and shook his head:

    “I don’t know. Logically speaking, during this time they should have been received orders by now — now that the shield is about to be breached, they shouldn’t leave the city in this defenceless state.”

    A series of violent sparks erupted overhead again.

    Haines’ eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: “Then there’s no other way.”
