Phew-

The piercing sound of breaking the sky crossed the sky,

Ellipsoidal shells shot out from the high-rise jungle of the city's ruins, swept a graceful arc trajectory in mid-air, and finally fell into the middle of the torrent of machine beasts.

Bang!

The pale shell of the shell exploded, and a large amount of yellow-green smoke erupted from it.

The smoke spread rapidly, and any beast in its middle ground slowed down sharply, then staggered to the ground, its limbs twitching, and electric sparks erupted.

Its body armor and joints were severely corroded, and the central processor was destroyed by pervasive corrosive fumes.

Rumble!!

The ground was lifted in one piece, and six giant creatures emerged from the surface.

They resemble worms that have been magnified countless times over, and their bodies are covered in several layers of sturdy fish-scale carapaces that are tightly linked together to prevent the sand and stones from cutting their muscles.

Their heads... To be precise, one end of the body, in the shape of an olive,

The top is a protruding three-cone threaded drill bit, and the side is an array of multi-cone bits.

The drill bits vary in size and shape, but they are all dull in color, making one wonder if this is a creature or a machine - after all, all drill bits work freely, and there are no eyes, mouths, etc.

The Worm is exposed to the surface of the ground only a small part of the end of its body, but this part alone is comparable to an entire subway car.

The torrent of mechbeasts instinctively bypassed the burrowing worms, and the silver torrent spread out and forked as if it had encountered a solid reef.

The Worm does not actively attack the Beasts (except for those that crash and crush when they come out of the surface).

Instead, he twisted his body, crawled forward for some distance, turned the drill bit, and drilled back into the ground.

Leaving behind two wide tunnels that are pitch black and deep.

Rustle –

Immediately, there was the sound of rain showers and dense footsteps, and a large number of hideous creatures climbed out of the underground tunnel.

They can be divided into two types as a whole, beast class and squire class.

The beast class is larger, with long limbs and a long tail, a strong and muscular hind foot landing on the ground, and a firearm on the forelimbs (there are many types of guns, some are made purely of biological flesh, some are made by human civilizations, some are made with materials from the Lost World, and some are mixed with multiple materials),

The tail is long overall, and very constricted at the ends.

The overall shape resembles a velociraptor rex.

The bodies of these beast-class soldiers are covered in several layers of tough chitin mixed metal armor, with numerous dense tiny holes in the gaps between the armor that are responsible for dissipating heat and extracting oxygen.

Tens of thousands of beast-class soldiers and insects rushed out of the tunnel at a speed comparable to that of a sedan (the long tail was responsible for keeping the body balanced),

Set up a formation at the mouth of the tunnel, pull the trigger of the gun at the surrounding beasts, and open fire with rage.

Heavy bullets of various types flew through the air, and the surrounding beasts fell in unison like wheat rods.

Only a very small number of mecha beasts can step on the corpses of their kind and rush to the front of the defensive line.

The blade of an ordinary machine beast can cut through a layer of armor on the surface of the body of a beast-level soldier.

However, the surface armor of the soldier insect is controlled by muscles, and once it senses being cut, it will quickly contract the muscles.

The armor on both sides is like iron pincers, firmly gripping the blades of the machine beasts, preventing them from dealing more damage.

Pouring out of the tunnel, there is also a class of attendant-level soldiers,

They are a bit smaller in size and similar to medium to large dogs,

Most of the weapons in his hands were biological bone knives, sharp blades seized from mechbeasts, and small firearms.

The number of squire-class soldiers and insects is comparable to that of the beast-class, and they are agile and fast, and their running speed is better than the latter.

It can freely shuttle through the battlefield, severing the limb joints of the machine beast with a bone knife or using a firearm, causing it to fall to the ground and be trampled and crushed to death by its counterparts.

Six fortress-level burrowing worms, meaning six tunnels.

Beast-level and squire-level soldiers and insects that kept pouring out of the ground surrounded the mouth of the tunnel, like a reef, devouring the torrent of mech-level beasts around them.

Matched with it is the long-range firepower of the hive-

In the city of the steel jungle, hundreds of large creatures called "Heavy Load" slowly crawled out.

They are the largest elephants, usually with six limbs, the hind limbs are strong and stout, and the ends are covered with spikes that can dig deep into the ground.

Smaller forelimbs hold the ground to the surface, providing support and cushioning.

There are more than ten models of hoplite soldiers, but they are generally used as artillery and tanks.

They usually have a single or twin heavy cannon mounted on their backs, the length of the heavy cannon exceeds the heavy armor itself, and there is no rifling inside the barrel, which is a kind of smoothbore gun.

The main advantage of rifling in the barrel compared to smoothbore guns is that rifling gives the warhead the ability to rotate, so that the warhead can still fly stably after being discharged.

However, in the face of the torrent of mecha beasts that do not need to be aimed, and the hive that can be made for evolution is naturally chosen, so it is natural to choose a smoothbore cannon with a higher chamber pressure and a relatively simpler craft.

The exaggerated weight of the heavy class can absorb the recoil when firing the gun, and the eight pairs of chimney-like organs on the pitch-black carapace on the back can play the role of cooling and cooling the barrel.

Behind each hoplite-level soldier insect, there are more than a dozen beast-level and attendant-level soldier insects.

They are responsible for mounting various types of shells into the back loading port of the Hoplite Soldiers.

To deal with the sea of machine beasts, there is no need to use shells such as armor-piercing shells.

More often used are grenades and bioblasts - a hive weapon like a mortar cannonball, shaped like a ball, with a sturdy exterior that automatically explodes when fired and hits a target.

Use shock waves, explosions of chemicals and gunpowder, and shell fragments to kill and injure enemies.

Sometimes special shells with corrosive gases are fired.

Hundreds of hoplites fired in unison, and the ground was like a drum that had been beaten hastily in a dense roar.

Oscillation, undulation, shaking.

The dust was lifted by the shock wave, and the debris and metal debris fell like rain.

The machine beast that was hit by the shell was shattered, and its own kind around the crater was torn apart and buried in the dirt.

A handful of mechbeasts, lucky enough and tough,

They broke through the squire and beast blockades, and were not hit by a rain of shells, roaring (some of the mechs would say "Welcome to the garden area on the 42nd floor of the Sanctuary") and pounced on the Iron City.

Bang bang!

On the high-rise buildings on the periphery of the city, falling down dense figures,

The massive guard-level insects stopped in front of the hoplite and opened fire on the mech-beast, quickly extinguishing the enemy's charge.

Throughout the battlefield, hive units are not without casualties,

The largest number of beast-level and attendant-level are sometimes swarmed by the fierce machine beasts and killed directly.

However, its corpse will soon be recovered by some special hive units (Worker Bug and Special Grade), pulled into a pitch-black tunnel, and disappear.

In their place, there are more Soldier and Bug units.

After all, the machine beast that fights with its body is still limited,

made a hive aimed at evolution and tactics, and quickly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

The "seemingly endless" torrent of machine beasts was soon gradually divided and devoured.

As one of the security guards crouching on the wall behind the battlefield screamed, the other guards moved and landed in front of the herd, slashing and driving away the beasts with their blades, stopping the charge.

Turned into a certain pipe in the rear of the battlefield, and then retreated.

On the battlefield, only the hive units are still active.

The hoplites and guards-level soldiers and insects slowly retreated into the depths of the city.

The beast-level and acolyte-level at the mouth of the tunnel are scattered, using guns and biological bone knives to mend those machine beasts that are not dead.

A large number of worker insects crawled out of the tunnel to collect the corpses of the hive units.

And cut the limbs of the machine beast with its fangs and claws, and carry it to the ruins of the city.

Cleaning the link of the battlefield, silent, and silent,

It was so quiet that Nina in front of the screen felt a shudder from her soul.

"Zerg? Act of God? ”

Jean took a deep breath and muttered, "What the hell is this?" ”

"Biological weapons."

Eva said expressionlessly, "It's the same flying creature we've seen before." Born purely for war, to kill and devour.

Look at the dead Zerg units, they are full of organs, muscles, bones,

There is no digestive and reproductive system, which occupies a large capacity in the body of ordinary organisms.

It's a small probability that I'm wrong.,The high probability is that these insects have given up their digestion and reproduction functions.,

Feed by other insects, directly replenish biomass and energy,

If you want to reproduce, you can also leave it to other types of insects. ”

"More ants than ants..."

Pei Youzhen muttered, a gleam flashing in his eyes, "Could it be the ant king?" I've heard that he has raised an army of biological weapons. ”

"No, it can't be him."

Qing Xing Deng on the side looked gloomy as water, and said in a low voice: "I have fought with the Ant King, and his own strength can only be regarded as average. As for his army of biological weapons?

It's okay to bully and bully a modern army without heavy weapons,

It is not on the same plane at all with this army of hundreds of thousands, millions.

The gap is one in the sky and one in the ground. ”

If it were usual, Qing Xing Lantern would definitely use a playful tone to sneer at the ant king, one of the Seven Martial Seas,

But now she had completely lost her interest, and instead was overshadowed by shock and fear.

Suppose she falls into the center of the hive battlefield, facing overwhelming artillery strikes and endless sea of biological weapons, how long can she hold on?

Half an hour? Or fifteen minutes?

Maybe in less than ten minutes, she'll be forced to use all the equipment effects on her body, use up most of the potions, and go to cooldown for every skill...

Or even worse,

In order to survive, he overused the ability of [Prajna Transformation], completely lost his sense of self, and became a demon with no mind and only a killing instinct...

No, calm down, calm down.

Qing Xing took a deep breath and forced himself to wake up from his terrible imagination.

The biological weapons in the picture are not so terrifying,

The strongest point of the player lies in the ability to maneuver given by a variety of strange skills.

Even if you can't defeat the mighty sea of insects, you can always escape and retreat - judging from this local war alone,

Worm Sea units don't seem to have hypervelocity maneuvering units...

Qing Xing Lantern slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, not thinking about the most terrifying possibility: the insect hive may not have shown its true strength, and there are more terrible things hidden in the dark ruins of the large city...

"The observer is still there."

Eva's face turned pale, pursed her lips, glanced at the system detector in the corner of the basement, and whispered, "Did you just show the picture to the camera?" ”

"Hmm."

Nina nodded.

"That's good."

Eva's eyes were lowered, and her mind was racing, and at this moment, the support team in the real world must be in full swing analyzing the information on the screen, speculating on the origin and combat power of those strange creatures.

Unfortunately, there is a gap between the lost world and the present world, and information can only go out but not in, and they can't accept the results of analysis from the outside world...

"Where the hell did these monsters come from? What for? What identity? ”

Jean frowned and asked, "It's the player's summon,

Or a player from an exotic land,

Or is it a dangerous species that has escaped from a secret testing ground in a lost world?

Why are they in conflict with the Robot and the security guards? ”

"It can't be a summon."

Qing Xing Deng said solemnly: "Even the Thousand Throat Beast Guild is the best at domesticating monsters. Its leader, the 23rd-ranked Mistletoe, can only summon five two-headed Chimera Wyverns at the same time.

Minions consume the user's stats.

The hundreds of thousands of biological weapons on the battlefield are simply not available to players of this level, no matter how strong they are.

And judging from the behavior of those biological weapons, they will recover their own corpses and disassemble enemy parts, obviously having a complete logistics system.

This is also contrary to the fact that summoning skills must have a maintenance time. ”

The owner of the sea square thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the space was used to store equipment and brought in from the outside world?" ”

"It's very, very unlikely."

Qing Xing Deng said expressionlessly: "The player's backpack bar can't store living things,

And those space equipment and props that can store living things,

Capacity is directly proportional to price,

But at most, it will not exceed the volume of a building.

The combined volume of all biological weapons is definitely beyond the building, and even if it is a biological weapon, it needs to be reserved when storing, and it is impossible to fill it all up-

Unless the space is equipped with zero gravity and cryogenic functions, the creatures contained in it are dormant and weightless, and they will not crush each other because of their weight.

And, even if the storage problem is solved, how can the player solve the communication command?

I don't think there's any possibility for players at this stage to do it..."

Before the words fell, a popping sound came from the control panel in Nina's hand.

Syllable!

The screen suddenly turned black, startling a few people, and almost pulling out their weapons.

"A drone has been attacked!"

Nina's face changed sharply, and she clicked several times on the control panel, changing the screen from (1) drone to (2), and then she saw,

Drone (1) has been pierced by a spike nearly a meter long,

The one who attacked it was the swarm flying unit that "Wind Chaser" and others had seen before-a flying formation composed of more than a dozen scout insects, which rushed over and grabbed the (1) drone that was constantly smoking.

Pull it to the ground and use its claws to unload the drone into eight pieces.

Eva hurriedly said, "Let the other one go!" ”

Without the size of her companion, Nina pressed the button and ordered the (2) drone parked in the rear to turn on the stealth function with all her might, and slowly flew towards the rear at an extremely slow flight speed.

Fortunately, the No. 2 drone stopped relatively far back, and when it turned the corner, it was impossible to see the battlefield.

Jean couldn't help but ask, "How was the first drone discovered?!" ”

"God knows."

Eva said with a gloomy expression: "The sound of the wind caused by the propeller blades, the hum of the motor, the heat radiation emitted by the motor, or the agitation of the propeller blades causing the position of the black clouds in the dome to change - the stealth function can't shield this." ”

She turned her head to look at Nina and said softly, "Is the signal from the portable communication device sure it's in the middle of the battlefield?" ”

The latter shook his head, "It's on the left edge of the city, but this drone alone will definitely not be able to pass through the defensive line..."

Suddenly, without warning, drone (2) passively shifted - a delicate whip made of dozens of pieces of wood silently swept in, hooked the drone fuselage, and pulled it backwards.

The drone's camera rotated, and when it stabilized again, it had already faced several human faces: it was Bai Haozheng, Qi Mian Xuantian and Juzi holding a wooden long whip.

They were lurking in a large broken pipe, and when they saw the [Dragon Support Drone], their faces changed slightly, and they must have recognized that this was Nina's belongings.

I didn't see the talent of Ju and the dragon and leopard change...

Qing Xingdeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took half a step back.

Bai Hao was thinking for a moment, waved his palm, released his mental power, refilled the noise barrier destroyed by the wooden whip just now, looked at the drone camera and said softly: "Is it the Indian Special Situation Security Department?" I'm an intelligence analyst at the Special Affairs Administration, Baek Ho-jeong. ”

Nina glanced at Eva, and after receiving a nod of affirmation, she pressed the button on the control device, and remotely projected her face on the screen of the dragon support drone.

Bai Haozheng had also seen the Wind Chaser and others before this, and he had come to Yin City the last time the Wind Chaser recorded a show.

The two sides breathed a sigh of relief after meeting, and after a short inquiry about the situation, Eva immediately asked the question, "Mr. Bai, where is Ju Tian?" We received information that he was staying with you..."

“...”

Bai Haozheng paused for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, Comrade Ju Tiantian was accidentally involved in the war between the Zerg and the Machine Beast half an hour ago.

The Zerg creatures that occupied the 41st floor of the ruins of the city were captured. ”

Well?

Qingxing Lantern on the side raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Captive?

Interesting.

"How so?!"

Eva's face changed abruptly, "Aren't the members of the Secret Service equipped with emergency tactical suits?" ”

"Equipped."

Bai Haozheng nodded and said in a low voice: "But the Zerg can release a high concentration of hypnotic gas to circumvent the automatic surrender function of the emergency tactical suit."

We're trying to find a way to rescue him now..."

Qing Xing Deng's heart is even more proud, if he wants to rescue Ju Tian, then the other party will definitely not have the strength to turn his head and find trouble with Qing Xing Deng.

Maybe Qingxing Lantern can still fish in troubled waters, and use the Zerg pit to eliminate these people in the camp of the Special Affairs Bureau...

“... Guys. ”

Bai Haozheng said solemnly: "Those who were captured into the Zerg lair not only have the talent of Ju, but also the Dragon and Leopard Transformation of the Special Affairs Bureau, the Chengying of the Sword King Court Guild, the Dusk Knight of the Royal Anglican Knights, the Litang Fried Snow of the Phantom Moon Ring, and the Earth Imperial Gate Xiaoman of the Hijima Abnormal Affairs Investigation Bureau..."

Hearing the last name, Qingxingdeng, who had been smiling happily ("These stupid × were served in a pot hahahaha"), changed his face abruptly.

Tsuchigomon Koman, the child of the high-ranking of the Hijima Anomalous Affairs Investigation Bureau...

————

Hive City, Deep.

In the underground fortifications overgrown with fungus blankets, lumps of flesh, and exotic plants, the seven-brained worms lie in their own survival cabins, with a large number of ducts connected to the back of their brains.

Some catheters are responsible for delivering nutrients to the brainworm and expelling waste materials.

Some catheters are connected to the hive biofactory, which reports the status of the biofactory directly to the brain worm in the form of neural signals, which can give neural commands in the underground fortifications and remotely control the biofactory.

And now, these seven mind worms are reporting to their Creator and Father.

"Captive player..."

Lost in the upper echelons of the world, Leon thought silently, "What should I do..."
