Chapter 31: The Brood
It didn't take long for the bugs to find it again, and the battle began instantly.
Perhaps knowing that ordinary sickle insects were no longer enough to threaten Ling Xiao and them, the number of powerful insects began to increase, spewing flames, spitting acid, and some curled up in hard shells and rolled all the way through the cave. If they were dealing with ordinary Federation soldiers, they would have killed all the intruders, but they were facing Ling Xiao's group.
Pro accurately analyzes the weaknesses of each new bug, she is a CPU that does not make the slightest mistake, all the bugs' actions are within her calculation range, she marks the priority of attacks for everyone, and the shooting points are marked with red dots on the helmet display.
This approach allows people who do not have much military literacy to quickly find their position in combat, and they only need to follow the path marked out by the Pro and use the automatic aim assist program to fight all the way through.
Therefore, although the bugs rushed fiercely, they did not pose a real threat to Ling Xiao for a while.
After one wave of bugs was wiped out, another wave of bugs struck.
This time, the bugs not only rushed from both ends of the passage, but also a group of digging bugs, their shovel-like forefeet could easily cut through the rocks, so that holes appeared up and down the ranks left and right, and the bugs that suddenly rushed out almost disrupted the queue that could easily resist the insect tide.
"Let's go, let's move." Ling Xiao hacked the digging insects that came out of the side to death with a knife, and then shot and killed a few insects in front of him, and walked forward first, and the others followed him in order.
The team moved quickly in the cave while fighting, not giving the digging worm a chance to sneak up from a close distance, and gradually all the sickle insects in front of them disappeared, and the main body of the worm became a kind of Zerg that could stand upright.
They have a humanoid size, the unique branch-like hind limbs of insects are extremely powerful, and they are more than ten meters away with a slight move, and they fly forward in groups, and the speed is so fast that the kinetic energy gun cannot be effective and is rushed to the front of them.
"It's the guard worm," Ling Xiao abandoned the kinetic energy gun and held the big knife behind his back in his hand, and his exquisite martial arts blocked the breakthrough of the guard worm, "The federal data shows that these guard worms are all guards of the interstellar mother worm, it seems that we are going to do a good job." ”
"Let's stop these guard insects first, they're too fast, it's hard to lock on to their vital points." Yue Qian joined in the shooting of the guard bugs, and under the high-speed movement of these bugs, it was difficult for her to hit a lethal attack, even with an automatic aiming system.
Ling Xiao turned a big knife into a windmill, and all the guard insects that tried to cross him were split in half by him: "You just have to hit the guard insects in the distance, and leave the near ones to me." There doesn't seem to be a guard bug in the back, Kenneth is coming forward, we need more forward firepower. ”
As Ling Xiao said, the guard insects all rushed from the front, and the insects chasing after them began to decrease, and it seemed that in the strict hierarchical Zerg society, they had entered the core area of the interstellar Zerg.
Kenneth, who has the aura of the protagonist, joins the advancing attack queue, and the whole team avoids all detours and follows the nearest passage to the location of the mother starworm.
"Boom ......"
Under the bombardment of a rocket, all the guard insects in front of them were killed, and then Ling Xiao's team entered an extremely wide cave.
The cave, which is thousands of meters in diameter and hundreds of meters high, is densely hung and placed with eggs all waiting to hatch.
Before everyone could see the situation in front of them, there was another explosion, and the passage behind Sun Yuan blocked the pursuing insects in the rear.
"This is the brood." Kenneth, who had seen the Star Fortress series of films, recognized this place at a glance. At this time, in addition to the tens of thousands of eggs, there were only a few guard insects in the brood, and they were quickly wiped out in this open cave.
"Let's plant bombs separately, as long as we kill all these eggs, the merit is enough for us to become mecha soldiers." Ling Xiao kicked an insect egg at his feet, most of these insect eggs were only one meter high, and there was a layer of cocoon wrapped around them, he split the eggs with a knife, and a larva slowly wriggled in the mucus that flowed out: "Be careful, don't have any insects hatching around you yet." ”
Everyone agreed and immediately dispersed with the bomb box, and Ling Xiao then asked Kenneth: "Since this is the mother nest of insects, we didn't see the mother worm, were we scared away?" ”
Kenneth, who was familiar with the plot, replied, "No, the mother worm is very large and can barely move. This is supposed to be the Zerg's nursery, specially used for hatching bugs. The mother worm should be in another cave not far from here, just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that there are so many holes here, which one should we go to?" Kenneth pointed to the surrounding cave walls, only one of the dozen or so openings led to the mother's nest, and now the sporadic guard worms were coming out of these holes, presumably a large number of bugs would arrive soon, and in case they made a mistake, it would be almost impossible for them to come back here and make a new choice.
Hearing this reason, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You choose one, I don't blame you for it or not." ”
"Me?" Kenneth didn't know why Ling Xiao believed in himself so much, it stands to reason that they are now trapped in the hinterland of insects, if they can't find a way out, they will definitely die here after they run out of ammunition, all of this is caused by the bad luck that hangs over him, and he doesn't know why Ling Xiao is still laughing in the current situation, and he also lets himself choose the path, he simply thinks that he is dying slowly.
"Since you believe in your own doom, then your choice must be the most dangerous place, I think the bugs guarding the mother worm should be more terrifying."
It really makes sense, Kenneth doesn't know how to describe the person in front of him, he doesn't act like a normal ordinary person at all. "Yes, there may be a very powerful Zerg near the Guardian Motherworm, who stand at the very top of the entire interstellar Zerg pyramid and are the most perfectly evolved Zerg. They are called rulers, and in the entire galaxy fortress movie, the rulers have appeared sporadically, but all of them have strong individual strength, and because of this, the merit of hunting the mother worm is 10,000, and the hunting of the ruler federation mission is not mentioned at all, which is not something that ordinary infantry can do. ”
Ling Xiao didn't expect that there was such a powerful individual among the Zerg, and he asked, "Since the ruler is so powerful, why are those Federation soldiers acting so easily?" ”
"That's because the rulers are very rare, and there is not necessarily a ruler in the insect swarms of more than a dozen planets, here, none of the zerg nests found by the federal army are connected to the mother worm nest, and it is impossible for the ruler to stay with those low-level bugs, so clearing the ordinary bugs is a relatively easy task for the Federation infantry. But this is the mother worm's nest, and if we go to the female worm, we may run into the ruler, and because of my curse, the odds of us running into the ruler will be very high. ”
