Chapter 736: What is the Sea of Worms?
The two sides soon met in close combat, with the Zerg biota against the amoebic rhizome group.
And then...... And then there was no then, there were groups of rhizomes surging like a tide, and the Zerg biota did not collapse as soon as they came into contact, as if facing a tsunami, withering and decaying.
One-on-one, there is no doubt that the rhizome cannot defeat any of the Zerg organisms, except for the non-aggressive larvae, the ground combat rhizome cannot defeat any of the Zerg creatures.
But group warfare is different, in addition to individual combat effectiveness, group warfare also needs to consider a lot, and the group combat effectiveness obtained after combining these factors is the information worthy of reference in group warfare.
For example, battlefield width.
The Zerg has a large creature with tonnage weight, heavy and strong armor, specialized tough bones, and a cerebellum in addition to the brain, even if a brain is broken, it will not let it die, and the most deadly thing is that it has four large single-molecule blades in the shape of a sickle, and with the bite of strong muscles, there is nothing in the molecular material that can withstand its cutting.
In the case of one-on-one with rhizomes, there is basically no suspense about the victory or defeat on the ground.
However, because of the large size of this creature, it will occupy a lot of space, and in the same battlefield width, there can be thousands or tens of thousands of rhizomes, and a swarm of bees will rush over, and as soon as the four monomolecular blades close and cut off one batch, they will be submerged by the next batch.
As for the thick bioarmor of this creature, can it be harder than the stratum near the center of the earth? And the joints don't cover the carapace.
Another example is a small organism of the Zerg, which has a pair of sickle claw blades on its back, and its hands are also sickle claw blades, with spikes on its tail, which is very sensitive.
However, in the face of the group of rhizomes, there was no power to parry, and the four sickle claw blades and tail spikes each inflicted minor injuries on five different rhizomes, and then they were directly slapped to the ground by the sixth flicking rhizome, and the endless sea of rhizomes ran directly over them, crushing them into a pile of flesh.
Ranged firepower is a plus for group warfare, once fired, it can take full advantage of the group, however, the Zerg's acid is almost ineffective against the rhizome.
The spore shells and spore clouds dropped by the Zerg can't take advantage of the collectors, no way, who makes the micro-scale collectors know how to cooperate, know how to set traps, use strategies, and know how to formulate micro-strategies, which are much stronger than brainless spore parasites.
What an irony! In the past, the Zerg used to deal with the enemy, an invincible Worm Sea tactic! Now it's your opponent's turn to use them!
The Zerg command class was suddenly stunned - are we Zerg, or are you Zerg?!
However, the gatherers did not give the Zerg time to be confused, and 'washed away' the Zerg biota in a devastating manner, and they turned to the Zerg flying in the sky.
The Zerg are on guard against the heat-ray cannons that emerge from the Sea of Rhizomes, but the Gatherers don't plan to use that to deal with large-scale aerial enemies, and the Gatherers have their own set of plays.
Numerous transparent microorganisms are bred by the rhizome, which is equivalent in size to a hundred white blood cells, but lighter in mass than a hundred white blood cells because its interior is hollow, filled with helium, and is only encased in a thin layer of cell body.
Obviously, this is a microscopic version of the balloon, because it is lighter than air, so it will spontaneously float upward, and trillions of spores will be released, combining into a cloud of spore for the collectors.
Unlike the Spore Cloud of the Zerg, the Spore Cloud of the Zerg has a height limit, and the Gatherers do not have this, and the balloon can fly as high as it can. Read a book
And because of its own transparency and smallness, the collective attack of the Zerg units flying in the sky is unexpected, and the biological antibodies inside the Zerg organisms are very unbearable and clumsy in the face of microscopic creatures with intelligence.
In this way, the Zerg flying creatures were planted one after another from the high altitude and became the nourishment of the rhizome ocean.
The Zerg are no longer able to fight! - Such an idea appears in the logical chain of the Zerg command class.
It's not that they can't continue to make organisms to fight, and there are still many organisms that are being bred, but what's the use of these? Even if it is conceived, it will not stop the enemy for a short time, and the attack will not have an effect on the enemy.
Just when the Zerg were considering whether to retreat underground and rely on the Zerg's unique ability to drill into the ground to fight a tug-of-war with the enemy, the gatherers told them with their actions that it was wishful thinking.
The Zerg, as a long strip of creatures in the underground tunnels, were attacked by the expansion of rhizomes underground, compared to ground warfare, rhizomes are good at underground warfare, and the structure of the organism is also designed for the underground environment.
Comparatively speaking, the Zerg's underground combat ability is very weak, and it is impossible for any biological class to win the rhizome if they fight with the rhizome underground.
The rhizome comes and goes freely in the ground, and is born without eyesight, but can rely on other organs to perceive the underground environment, and the thick stratum will be the natural armor of the rhizome, which can be attacked and defended.
And the rhizome is used to deal with the underground Zerg There are really too many tactics, such as injecting spore clouds in the tunnel, or injecting strong acid and alkali solutions, and then the underground collapse directly buries the Zerg alive, squeezing the Zerg organisms to death under the pressure underground, and can also guide the underground lava to pour magma into the tunnel.
Underground, the Zerg are like a Tyrannosaurus rex falling into the sea, no matter how sharp their fangs and claws are, they don't work.
You can't stay underground, you can't stay on the ground either, not to mention the sky, the enemy's space fleet can still be anchored in the planet's near orbit, holding the power of space.
How can this be fought?
"Zerg, you have two choices, surrender, or destroy."
Such a radio message written in the Kers language was received by the Zerg command class, but unlike the previous one, this time the Zerg command class did not receive it through the medium of other Zerg organisms, but directly received it, in this underground cavern deep enough to block the radio.
A Zerg command unit has been found by the Gatherer!
Inside the underground cavern is one of the main nests of the Zerg on this planet, a member of the Zerg command class.
The main nest couldn't move because it was too heavy, and it looked around, the walls of the cave were covered with wriggling tentacles, but it wasn't a Zerg creature, it was their enemy.
"We choose to let you die, food!"
The main nest responded, and it never changed its attitude because of the loss of power, but in exchange for a stormy attack from the rhizome, the Zerg creatures left behind in the underground cavern could not even parry.
Subsequently, the command of the Zerg on the shaking star was found by the collectors one after another, and with the same persuasion rhetoric, the collectors tirelessly asked about the individuals one by one, but the responses they got were uniform.
