After Bowen said these words, he began to remove the bandages on Bird and Xiao Yi.

Shang Si saw that his two main combat forces appeared in front of him intact from the state of "serious injury".

Shang Si ......

How did these two offend Bowen......

……

Raven Conference Room.

With a brief explanation of Guò Sune, the two who had just returned from the infirmary learned about the current situation.

The light particle cannon that Shang Si risked firing only broke the Zerg's tentacles, and didn't really hurt it, but luckily it didn't hurt Bird and Xiao Yi either.

The Zerg, who had a large number of tentacles broken, left behind two mechs and flew towards the lair at high speed. Shang Si didn't chase the Zerg because he wanted to rescue Bird and Xiao Yi.

"We were careless about dealing with that armor beetle just now." Xiao Yi was the first to speak.

Since he had seen this kind of zerg a lot before, he still dealt with it in the original way, but he didn't expect this kind of zerg to evolve the ability to absorb energy, and it almost made him capsize in the gutter.

"Too unexpected." Shang Si said that the Zerg is not a race that evolves very quickly, although the Zerg that Shang Si encountered in the Dodo incident has the ability to absorb energy, but after entering the eighth detachment, the Zerg he encountered is not abnormal, and there is no response to report the situation of the Zerg, so Shang Si judged that the Zerg this time was just an individual mutation.

But today, I saw the Zerg that could absorb energy again, overturning Shang Si's previous speculation. It seems that this is not an individual mutation, but a part of the Zerg has evolved new abilities.

However, with precautions, this kind of zerg is not difficult to deal with. As long as it breaks its tentacles with the Light Particle Cannon first, although the Zerg's ability to recover fù is very fast, when it recovers fù tentacles, the mecha can take the opportunity to go forward and find the Zerg's weakness. However, this method may be much less efficient than before, and the consumption time will also increase.

Shang Si laid out the plan, and after eliminating the Zerg, they had to enter the hive to eliminate the mother worm.

The female worm is not strong in the nest because of the space problem, but it does not mean that it is easy to destroy it.

As soon as it was ready, the Raven sailed to the vicinity of the hive again, and the gathering zerg that acted as a sentinel insect outside the hive at this stage immediately flew into the hive as soon as they saw the spaceship appear, and then four gathering zerg flew out and confronted the crow in the air.

This situation is somewhat strange. The gathering zerg has little combat effectiveness, and if the hive is in danger and they have to fight, they generally follow the fighting zerg.

In the case of the hive and a D-class battle-type zerg, it is very strange that only the gathering type zerg is in battle.

Moreover, among the collecting zergs, there was no big belly worm that they tracked. According to the observation in the past few days, the advanced gathering zerg is still in the nest and has not left to collect food.

Shang Si didn't think about it for long, because no matter what, they needed to destroy these gathering zergs before they could act on the opportunity.

For the Raven, the E-class gathering zerg was really easy to eliminate, and it didn't take long for the Raven to clean up the few zergs outside the nest.

By this time, however, the beetle had not reappeared.

Shang Si was sure that he hadn't hurt the armor-type zerg, even if the light particle cannon did break most of its tentacles. However, the tentacles of the Zerg have never been important organs, and it doesn't take much effort to break them.

So, why did that armor-type zerg keep hiding in its lair?

"The Polaris requests access to the lair to explore."

Shang thought about it for a while, but still agreed to Xiao Yi's application.

It is very risky to enter the hive to probe, and the armor beetle is currently in the hive, but it is not possible to go in and detect it in the current situation.

"Stay safe."

……

The Polaris entered through the entrance of the hive, and after decades of anti-invasion wars, Xiao Yi did not have the experience of dealing with the Zerg.

Nests build on the interior of asteroids, driving from the surface into rock formations thousands of meters underground, and then making nests in them. Fortunately, there are not many Zerg inside the small hive, so the structure is not complicated, and the main passage is very obvious.

The passage is not very dark, and the minerals that can fluoresce in the dark are evenly distributed in the passage, which should be specially placed by the Zerg.

Xiao Yi drove the mecha along the main passage and walked inside, and the deepest part of the general insect hive was where the mother worm was.

……

After Shang Si agreed that Xiao Yi entered the hive, although he was quiet on the surface, he was actually very worried in his heart. After all, there is also a combat-type Zerg and a pot-bellied worm inside the hive, and they are not small dangers to Xiao Yi.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi did not encounter any danger during this time, and even from the images that came back, he did not even encounter a single Zerg.

The number of small hive zergs is small, and many of them have been wiped out by the eighth detachment, but it is not so much that there is not a single guard zerg inside the main passage of the hive.

However, this made it easier for Xiao Yi to infiltrate.

After a short time, Xiao Yi communicated with Guò, informing the Raven that he had found the female worm.

"It's a terrible situation." Xiao Yi said very strictly, "The mother worm has already started to eat the adult worm, and we only have five minutes. "Once five minutes have passed, the mother worm must start to get out of the nest.

In fact, needless to say, the image sent back by Tong Guò, Shang Si also saw the situation of the female worm.

It was a very large Zerg with black-brown armor and sharp mouthparts.

The female worm is different from the ordinary Zerg in that it does not only rely on its tentacles to feed, in the general Zerg it is only used as a weapon mouthparts, and for the female worm, it is also a feeding organ.

So what Shang Si saw now was that the mother worm was chewing on a Zerg with her sharp mouthparts, and that Zerg was now half of its body left. And this Zerg is the armor worm that just fought against them.

Next to the mother, there are also some limbs scattered around, and from the outside, it looks like the big belly worm they have been tracking for a long time.

The female insect rarely eats its own family, and it generally eats food with its tentacles just like ordinary insects. If the female worm appears to eat the Zerg directly with her mouthparts, then either the food is too tight, or the female worm interrupts the accumulation of strength and breaks out of the nest.

The female worm is not terrible, that is because it is in the nest, and its huge body cannot be used in the nest at all, and it is just slowly grinding it to death.

But once it breaks out of the nest and has no restrictions in the universe, then its attack power will be terrifyingly high. What's more, the mother worm of this hive is still a C-class zerg, and at the speed of a C-class zerg, I'm afraid that Shang Si won't be able to escape by driving the crow to escape at that time.

This female worm must never be allowed to leave the hive.

This is the common idea of everyone in the eighth detachment now, but when this female worm is finished eating and accumulating enough strength, it will definitely break through the narrow hive.

"How many more directional light particle bombs are in storage?" Shang Si asked.

"100." Sune replied.

100 pieces, not enough. If you want to seriously injure this female worm, you need at least 1,000 pieces.

Although they all knew that it was impossible for the Raven to have so many directional light particle bombs, and that these 100 were exchanged for the cooperation between Shang Si and Monica, everyone in the eighth team couldn't help but feel depressed.

In a short period of time, they can't get 1,000 directional light particle bombs, so do they really want to give up?

All the members of the eighth detachment were not afraid of death, and it was decided to defeat this small Zerg at that time, and everyone was not afraid of the danger. However, that is also based on the fact that they have a high probability of destroying this small hive, and on this basis, they are not afraid of sacrifice. But now, once the mother worm is free, they have no chance of beating it at all, they are not afraid of death, but they will not die in vain.

It's just a shame. Having already wiped out so many Zerg, it looks like they are about to win the final victory, and once the mother worm escapes, their efforts will be in vain.

The mother worm can completely rebuild the nest, and with its ability to reproduce, a small nest will soon be established again.

In five minutes, the mother worm will finish eating, and even if they stop it from eating the rest of the armor beetle now, it will have enough strength. They still have to face the situation where the mother worm rushes out of the nest. And in the face of the female worm that can't be defeated, no matter how reluctant they are, they can only give up.

Everyone in the command room subconsciously looked at Shang Si, and they were all waiting for Shang Si to make a decision. Although, they have already guessed this decision.

"Count the amount of energy stone storage."

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that Shang Si's order was not to retreat.

However, Su Ne, who was asked, reacted very quickly, and immediately answered Shang Si's question: "There are also 3 D-grade energy stones." ”

Energy stone, after entering the era of the universe, a new type of energy ore discovered by human beings, the unit volume is small, the conversion energy is extremely high, through a certain equipment transformation, can completely replace nuclear energy, and is safer and more efficient than nuclear energy. As a result, this energy stone has become the main energy source for human spacecraft.

Of course, under certain conditions, if all the energy is released instantaneously, the damage caused by this kind of energy-aggregating ore will also be very powerful.

However, ordinary people don't do that, and to have the same effect, it costs a lot more energy stones than other weapons, and it ......

"Take out the two energy stones." Shang Si ordered.

At this time, most people guessed Shang Si's thoughts.

Replace insufficient directional light particle bombs with energy stones. This method can't be said to be unworkable, it's just ......

"Flam, return."

Shanth summoned back the flames that stood guard outside the Raven.

……

Bird piloted the Flame into the Raven, but he didn't leave the mech's cockpit. Not long after, a box of energy stones, with the assistance of machinery, was attached to the back of his mecha.

As he waited, Bird pulled out a palm-sized bottle from the Flame's bridge.

This bottle appeared during the anti-invasion war, when death was too frequent, so this very strong bottle was born. Its appearance can at least allow people to leave some relics.

The power of the energy stone is huge when it is detonated, but it will not be controlled in the same direction as the directional light particle bomb without any device restrictions, and the power of the energy stone explosion will directly spread in all directions.

If there is enough time, of course he doesn't have to worry about this, as long as he leaves a long enough distance to detonate, but now there are less than five minutes, and in these five minutes, he still needs to place the energy stone in the right position, so there will be very little time left for him to leave the explosion range, and even at that time, he may be involved in the explosion because of the distance.

In a short period of time, Bird wrote the note and put it in a bottle, which he intended to give to the men on the Raven before leaving.

Although he knew that he might not be able to return after leaving this time, Bird was still willing to accept the mission.

If you let this mother worm go now, you may not be able to find it again in the future. Given enough time for a C-class female, it is perfectly capable of establishing a medium-sized nest. When the time comes, a large number of Zerg will form a wave of insects, and any attack on a human colony in Anxing Province will kill many people.

So no matter what, he's going to destroy it.
