Chapter 1026: Request for Aid
As Ji You finished speaking, everyone turned to the window, where the sky-darkening Black Stinging Bee Swarm still blocked everything outside, as well as the spaceship’s monitoring cameras, making it impossible for anyone to observe the exact situation with the bees outside. Yet, the thumping sound above was not as obvious as before.
Shen Changqing’s voice softened a bit, saying, "There’s a sign of weakening."
Chu Jiaojiao blinked, "Does this mean the swarm is almost done migrating?"
Shen Changqing shook his head and said, "Such a large group, to fully migrate, will take at least another two hours. But the Black Stinging Bee Swarm doesn’t all leave at once during migration, leaving not a single one behind. With such a large-scale migration, quite a few black bees are bound to fall behind...and with our strength...even facing a group of hundreds or thousands feels overwhelming."
"Damn!"
Yue Qiguang ruffled his hair in frustration, frowning as he said, "How can we be so unlucky? Could it really be like what that idiot 4444 said, that we’re being dragged down by the protagonist?"
"Don’t talk nonsense." Ji You’s face remained relatively calm, staring out the window with a rare seriousness in her tone. "Listen, the number of bees is definitely decreasing. This is a huge advantage for our Protective Shield’s load-bearing capacity."
"Little Yuanyuan!" Ji You suddenly shouted to Yue Qiyuan, "Lower the Protective Shield by two more levels."
Yue Qiyuan was surprised by the somewhat unpleasant three words from Ji You, exclaiming, "Lower it again?"
Ji You firmly replied, "Yes, lower it."
Yue Qiyuan, despite feeling a bit uneasy, nodded, "Okay."
Ji You pointed at the energy reserves of the Protective Shield and said, "It’s currently at 60% energy. With the Level 5 shield activated, it is expected to last another 1 hour and 30 minutes. So there’s only 30 minutes left..."
