Chapter 27: The Capture of the City of Nopolis
It has been more than half a year since the Zerg captured the slums, and in the past six months, the Zerg have devoted themselves to development, and the population has continued to grow, and now the number of the Zerg has reached nearly five million.
The territory controlled by the Zerg is crisscrossed by crypts, the deepest part of which has reached two thousand meters underground, and countless broods draw underground resources from this location.
On the ground, the entire area is covered with a layer of mist, which is made up of countless spores, which can not only block the view, but also effectively block most of the signals, even satellites in the sky cannot penetrate the mist.
In the mist, several mother-hives up to two hundred meters high wriggled with terrifying and disgusting bodies, trying to hatch all kinds of insect swarms.
As far as the eye can see, there is another population of the Zerg. In addition to the previous Velocrat and Bone Spear Worm, the combat unit also has a huge mammoth, which is like a fifteen-meter-tall mammoth, with four huge fangs on its head, and its whole body is covered with thick armor and has an amazing defense.
Today is a big deal for the Zerg, lurking under the noses of humans for a month, and now it's time to declare the race, the first thing to do is to take the city of Nopolis, which is the closest to the Zerg base.
The city of Nopolis, the capital of Santa Catarina, has a population of two million and a military base that houses one-sixth of the country's armed forces. The army is dominated by the army, with about 50,000 people, 1,000 second-generation tanks and armored vehicles of various types, countless artillery pieces, and several helicopter gunships.
For the current Zerg, although this military base is also a hard bone, it is not to the extent that it cannot be bitten. And now what the Zerg have to do is to show it strongly in front of the world, and if you want to do this, you will absolutely crush the human race, so this time the Zerg will come out.
At 6 a.m. on January 1, the Empress stood on a hilltop ten kilometers southeast of the city of Nopolis, overlooking the city. As the morning sun rose, the entire Zerg army took action.
The first wave was still the hives, a hundred of them scattered to all corners of the city, and the loud crashes and vibrations frightened the entire city's humans, and people took to the streets to find the source of the sound.
Each hive was surrounded by people, and people looked in horror at the terrifying and disgusting foreign object in front of them, which was two hundred meters high, and their faces were full of panic.
At the same time, a hundred insect nests erupted countless tiny spores, and the entire city of Nopolis was covered in dense spores in just ten minutes. People started to breathe a little harder, coughing and covering their mouths and noses with their hands or clothing. Although the spores are not harmful to the human body, they can affect breathing slightly, just like smog.
At 6:15, the Zerg began to officially attack the city of Nopolis.
Three million swarms of various insects attacked the city of Nopolis, harvesting countless humans on three sides, and another two million swarms marched into the military base.
The military base launched an operation when the Zerg hive came, and five hives landed in the base, and the Supreme Commander Lieutenant General Turuk immediately surrounded the hive with the armored force as the main infantry team, but did not make further action.
It wasn't until the sentinels found the dense Zerg army in the dust several kilometers away that the general, who had become a general because the president was his brother-in-law, understood the seriousness of the matter, but all means of communication had failed, the base had completely lost contact with the outside world, and the real confrontation between humans and the Zerg was about to begin.
Although Turuk was a general who did not live up to his name, the arrival of the Zerg made him panic, but fortunately, he had several staff officers with good abilities under him who deployed defensive positions at the first time. All kinds of light and heavy weapons and armored vehicles are lined up, all kinds of artillery are ready in the rear, and several helicopters are all in the air to monitor and prepare for support.
When everything is ready, the Zerg are already in the city.
In fact, the distance of several kilometers can be reached in only a few minutes at the speed of the Zerg's movement, but in order to test the combat effectiveness between the Zerg and the humans, the Empress slowed down the speed of the Zerg attack, and suspended the pace of the Zerg attack five kilometers away from the military base, waiting for the Ba team to be ready.
More than ten kilometers away, the empress stood on the top of the mountain, observing the movements in the military base through the vision shared by the front-line zergs, and seeing that everything was ready at the base, the empress decisively issued an order for a full-scale attack.
After receiving the order, the Zerg was excited, and the 100,000 bone spear insects in the Zerg immediately stabilized their bodies and launched the first round of long-range attacks in unison. When 100,000 bone spears shot out, they covered the sky and the sun, and in less than three seconds, they all smashed into the heads of Pakistani soldiers. Unfortunately, the Pakistani soldiers were killed by thousands of people and injured countless others in the first round of long-range attacks by the Zerg, and such casualties were simply caused by their underestimation of the Zerg's combat effectiveness.
Seeing this scene, the command headquarters in the military base was very unhappy, and immediately ordered long-range artillery fire to counterattack, and the artillery fire in the base roared.
When the first wave of artillery bombardment of Pakistan just fell into the Zerg camp, the vanguard of the Zerg had already entered the firing range of the infantry of the Pakistani team, and in an instant, all kinds of rifles, machine guns, and individual rocket launchers were constantly spraying tongues of fire.
Because the number of Zerg is too large and dense, even if the Pakistani soldiers shoot with their eyes closed, they can hit the Zerg, so Pakistan's counterattack has also caused great damage to the Zerg.
If you look at the entire battlefield from a high altitude, Pakistan's artillery constantly creates a vacuum in the Zerg camp, but in a few seconds, the vacuum is filled by the later Zerg.
Looking at the front line, the Pakistani troops have put in all the units that can be fought at the front at once. For a time, the front-line troops of the Zerg were stuck alive two hundred meters away without advancing an inch.
However, the characteristics of the Zerg who are not afraid of death play a huge role at this time, the Zerg in front of them continue to fall, and the rear continues to replenish forward, and the contact distance is shortened step by step.
The bone spearworms in the rear were also accurately positioned after several rounds of firing by the Pakistani artillery unit, and after two rounds of salvos, the Pakistani artillery unit was dumbfounded.
The destruction of the Pakistani artillery unit relieved the pressure on the Zerg, and the mammoths that came from the rear resisted the fire and plunged into the defensive front of the Pakistani team, and the Pakistani defensive front was basically lost.
The loss of the defensive line doomed the resistance of the Pakistani troops to disappear in formation, and the next was the resistance of companies and platoons fighting separately.
The Zerg used the mammoth's strong defense to resist most of the heavy firepower of the Ba team, and the Velociator took the opportunity to enter the base to harvest heads, from the 1 to 10 battle loss ratio between Pakistan and the Zerg at the beginning of the battle, to the final 1 to 15 battle loss ratio, the Ba team has completely collapsed, and the 50,000 troops only resisted for less than half an hour.
There are many reasons for the defeat of the Pakistani team in the first battle, such as the fact that the entire military base is dominated by new recruits, and the entire military of Pakistan lacks systematic training due to funds and reasons, and its weapons and equipment are outdated and its combat effectiveness is low. At the beginning of the battle, the combat effectiveness of the Zerg was miscalculated, and after the defense line was lost, no effective defense was organized.
According to post-war statistics, all 50,000 troops on the Pakistani side were wiped out and no one survived, and 200,000 died on the Zerg side. However, with the Zerg's strong resilience and reproductive ability, the number of 200,000 deaths is insignificant.
The loss of the Bashi base heralded the complete fall of the city of Nopolis.
There was no movement in the city except for the sporadic gunshots, and the entire city was stained red with blood. Because everything came so quickly and so quickly, the people of the city could not organize effective resistance, not even the most basic hiding.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the city of Nopolis fell silent, and the people of 99 became the nourishment of the Zerg, after all, Nopolis City is a medium-sized city, and it is inevitable that a few fish will slip through the net.
The Empress walked slowly through the streets of the city of Nopolis, admiring the street scene and enjoying the thick smell of blood in the air. When passing a small car parked on the side of the road, she casually stretched out an index finger and ran it across the roof of the car a pool of fresh blood that had not yet condensed, and put it in her mouth with a smile to taste.
Although the victory in front of her heralded that the Zerg had finally gained a foothold in the human world, the Empress had no turmoil in her heart.
The Zerg, an ancient and powerful nation, will still stand in the universe in the future, proud of all civilizations, and this little victory at the moment is simply insignificant in her heart.
"Tremble, mortal, in just three months, humanity will be wiped out of the universe."
