Chapter 274: Diving into the water

Before the eruption of an undersea volcano, the heat-type adventitious insects, which lived in groups at the top of the branch-shaped magma upwelling route, and lived by absorbing heat energy and various inorganic substances in the seawater, have completely changed.

The gushing magma follows the path of the cone-shaped volcano, spreading all the way, forming a vast and hot hotbed on the side of the volcano. Carrying deep-sea silt over thick, flowing magma and insulating it properly, deep-sea adventitious insects then developed and multiplied on it.

Since large eruptions are likely to be followed by several smaller eruptions, the deep-sea adventitious insects do not make their home directly near the crater.

At a reasonable distance from the crater, adventitious insects that enter the breeding period lay a placenta-like breeding membrane directly on the hot bed, and then raise their larvae in this thick breeding membrane.

The thickness of the colloidal breeding film is comparable to that of a dozen spring mattresses. The densely arranged vesicles on the "mattress" are more like the hexagonal hive inside the hive, and each "grid" is curled up with an adventitious larva.

Adults who fly to the mainland to catch food for their offspring will first swallow the food into the exocytes for pre-treatment, and then divide the processed prey, which resembles minced porridge, to the larvae in the vesicles waiting to be fed.

The hemispherical shield on the surface of the vesicle can be manually opened at any time according to the needs of the adult worm. The larvae, which live in vesicles, grow at an astonishing rate with abundant food and a breeding membrane that constantly transfers heat.

The breeding membrane is laid in the center of the magma hotbed, and the adults surround the larvae, and the deep-sea adventitious insects that inhabit the periphery of the breeding membrane in a circle have a very clear intra-group division of labor, like all non-thermal adventitious insects. During the time when the adventitious insects are out for food, the adventitious insects that stay behind will always guard their offspring and never leave an inch.

According to the knowledge inherited from the Alliance warriors, the heat-type adventitious insects originally lived in the universe and wandered around. This species, which is much more hydrophilic than the non-thermal, adventitious species, is not accustomed to vacuum living environments, preferring to planets or moons with water.

When migrating, the individuals of the entire nest gather together, relying on the inorganic matter collected along the way, moving from near one star to another, and constantly "basking in the sun" to maintain the vitality of the deep-sea adventitious insects, until they find a planet that meets the dual conditions of water and heat, they will stop and settle.

Therefore, judging from the current reality, as long as the volcanoes on the sixth planet do not die, the deep-sea adventitious insects will definitely not give up on this planet, the planet they have found with great difficulty.

In the face of such a kind, Zhou Huai'an, who fully understood the specific details of the first battle of the advance ship soldiers on the frozen planet, chose the same tactic as humans - refrigerant. After all, the opponent has such a clear weakness in front of him, and there is really no need to find another way to solve the problem quickly and minimize the casualty rate as much as possible.

On the day of the battle against the deep-sea adventitious insects, the sky was covered with clouds, and the pouring rain was endless. arranged the people who stayed behind in the deserted continent, and Zhou Huai'an, who set off with his subordinates, so that the entire combat team was equipped with a very sufficient amount of refrigerant.

Zhou Huai'an, who did not choose to gather the entire combat team in one place on the mainland, chose to let them go to the sea from different positions on the mainland in a scattered and inconspicuous way, until all his subordinates used swimming to move away from the mainland, and then completed the convergence of all the people underwater.

Not afraid of the strong water pressure, and the current had little effect on their flexible tentacles, the adventitious insect team quickly found the invisible current, and then with the help of the current, in the most time-saving and labor-saving way, they successfully reached the sea area directly above the fire on the bottom of the sea.

Quietly diving, stopping beyond the enemy's sensory range, the Adventitious Worms, who chose to temporarily levitate, first dropped eight depth charges with a powerful cooling effect on the target directly below.

Neither living creatures nor emitting high temperatures, the eight depth charges, which slowly fall downward on gravity, quickly reach their intended target.

The adventitious insects, which had escaped the sea to the surface to catch prey a few hours earlier, had now returned to their settlements and were busy handling their food.

The larvae that cannot leave the vesicles are clustered in the center, and the entire population is gathered on the seabed, and the eight points on the circle formed by the adults are evenly spaced with eight points, which is the drop point of the depth charge.

The eight bombs that are not large in size and explode in unison after reaching the magma hotbed do not have the main task of killing and injuring deep-sea adventitious insects, but rather aim to spray refrigerant on a large scale.

The refrigerant, which was carried by the water flow of the blast, spread and spread on a large scale in the blink of an eye. And the adventitious insects, who had been accustomed to the blazing ground for some time recently, were frozen in an instant because of this sudden attack.

Even if it is manufactured in large quantities and refrigerant is used, Zhou Huai'an, who has limited preparation time, will not be able to use refrigerant to cool down the entire volcano that is still in a state of recovery.

Therefore, as long as the amount of refrigerant is not enough, the adults who are now frozen can at any time after a little relief, remove the soil cooled by the refrigerant under them, and then touch the soil that has been warmed by magma in the next layer, and then quickly restore their combat strength by absorbing heat.

Zhou Huai'an, who had considered this a long time ago, knowing that as long as the adults were still gathered near the volcano, they would have an inexhaustible source of energy, and he was very aware of the weakness of the limited electrical energy stored in his subordinates' bodies, so after the bomb exploded, what it needed to do next was to lure the opponents away from the volcano, so that they would lose their biggest dependence.

The thick breeding membrane is adhered to a complete piece, and in order to cope with the possibility of another eruption, it is not directly attached to the ground, so that it can be lifted up at any time like a carpet, ensuring that the larvae of the adventitious insects in the deep sea are actually very easy to prey.

The eight bombs that exploded smoothly either killed or threw the adventitious insects closest to the drop point, so even if the explosion site immediately exposed the hot deep soil below, the adventitious insects that were swept away by the shock wave could not immediately come to absorb heat.

At the same time, the half-human adventitious worm, which had been prepared for a long time, also launched its next move at this time.
