Chapter 8: Operation Codename: Harvest

The time of the raid is set at two o'clock in the middle of the night, when people are basically in a deep sleep and have less vigilance. After all, 1.2 million people can't be taken in a short period of time, and the less resistance there is, the fewer accidents there will be.

At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and everything is quiet in the slums.

At this time, less than six creatures that were still wandering outside were wiped out by the swift insects.

The slum has been divided into nine sections, and 10,000 sappers have completed the encirclement of Area 1, mainly to prevent the operation from escaping the net. 1,000 velocrats patrol the perimeter of Area 1 to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering the area.

At two o'clock in the morning, a cocoon was thrown into Area 1 from five kilometers away, and a minute later the first-class nest broke through the ground, and then a large number of spores were scattered within a three-kilometer radius.

Why is the hive first to enter the combat zone? This is because the day before, Empress Shiros accidentally discovered that spores can effectively block the transmission of sound, everyone knows that sound is transmitted through the vibration of the air, and the large number of spores in a certain space can suppress the vibration of the air. Theoretically, as long as the area covered by the spores is reached, no matter how large the movement is, it can be suppressed to a lower decibel level.

Five minutes later, the Empress saw that the spores had covered almost the same area, and decisively gave the order to the swarm to begin the operation.

At this time, 10,000 swift insects heard the order and continued to attack and advance from outside the encirclement to inside the encirclement, destroying houses one by one and mercilessly plundering their lives.

The velocrats in front are constantly killing, and the sappers in the back are constantly cleaning up the corpses and available resources inward. The encirclement continued to shrink until the entire area of humanity was wiped out, and no one knew what was happening.

The entire operation only lasted fifteen minutes, and the powerful combat power of the Swift Worm bought a lot of time for the Zerg. The battle in Area One is over, but the progress of the attack on the next sector has been delayed, as the sappers can't keep up with the speed of the swift bug killing. Although the presence of spores can directly devour corpses, the devouring speed of spores is only two thousandths of that of the hive after all, which is not that long for the empress who is in dire need of riots.

In the end, the sappers in the rear were mobilized to participate in the clean-up mission, and the previous 10,000 sappers followed the Velociator to the next area.

The battle plan for each area is concocted in the same way, first surround and then throw a first-level hive, wait for the spores to cover a certain area, the swarm attacks, the attack is over, and the rear sappers clean up various resources.

Although the energy of the Zerg is the same, after all, the number of single hives devouring at the same time is limited, and it is natural to allocate the resources that can be devoured reasonably.

Over time, the huge resources bring abundant energy to the Zerg, and the continuous swarms are hatched.

Most of the newly hatched swarms are being thrown into the battle ahead, and some are deployed in the slums on the border with the city of Nopolis.

The city of Nopolis is the only city bordering the slums, with a population of about two million, which is a little more than the slums, and there is an army of about 50,000 people stationed in the city of Nopolis. It's not that Empress Shiros is afraid of this army, with the current situation, it is more in the interests of the Zerg to make a fortune in silence.

The sky began to show white, and the morning light gradually rose.

After a night of fighting, the swarm had taken seven of the nine sectors and was heading towards Sector Eight. Regions 8 and 9 border the city of Nopolis and are the largest and most populous.

The Empress looked at the sky and decided to take the eight and nine areas together. When the sun rises, what is hidden in the shadows is not easy to hide, and while the spores can block some vision, the smell of blood wafting through the air cannot. Besides, now that the Zerg has added 20,000 Velociators, it shouldn't be a big problem to take down two areas at the same time.

Attacking Area 8 and 9 no longer throws the Hive first like the previous area, but attacks directly. There is no need to hide the last two areas left, and the Empress of Shilos also wants to know more intuitively about the combat effectiveness of the swarm, after all, it has been a sneak attack all night, and it can be said that the vast majority of people in the slums are killed in their sleep, which can not test the combat effectiveness of the zerg.

30,000 Velocrats VS 500,000 Humans The battle begins.

After a good night, dawn finally ushered in effective resistance. Area 89 has a population of more than 500,000, and it just so happens that there is a gang in each of the two areas, and the main resistance forces also come from the gangs.

These gangsters are not just gangsters, and industries such as powder trafficking, smuggling, and casinos have brought them huge profits. In order to keep their cake untouched, these gangsters have no weak force. This is the reason why the local government knows about their existence, but does not easily move them.

"What's going on out there?" A strong man with five big and three thick tattoos asked loudly when he heard a noisy voice outside

At this time, a man who stumbled in from the outside panicked and hurriedly said, "Head, there is a monster attacking people outside." ”

"Monsters? What monsters? The strong man looked disdainful

"Really, head. Just like those bug-like monsters in the galaxy clan, they have already killed a lot of people. The man's voice rose a few decibels.

"Oh? Go out and have a look. The strong man was still skeptical, but he still grabbed a Remington M870 shotgun from the cabinet.

He walked out, a group of subordinates also came out, just went out and saw a speedworm chasing a subordinate, the strong man and everyone were stunned, although he had just heard rumors that there were monsters attacking humans, but it was really unacceptable to actually see it.

"Head, save me, save me." When the person being chased saw that his boss was not far from him, he immediately turned around and ran towards them, and because of fear, the cries for help were broken.

The boss was pulled back to reality by the cries for help from his subordinates, and subconsciously shouted a word of Shet, and raised Remington to shoot at the speedworm.

This shot startled the little brothers around him, and also scared the speedworm, because the speedworm could be clearly seen. The Zerg's slaughter all night, only encountering humans with pots and pans, at most knives to resist, is not even an itch for them.

The boss's shot did not bring serious damage to the speedworm, although there were a few more holes on the body, but it was not enough to make the speedworm die, and the strong vitality of the Zerg was one of the characteristics. It's just that the sudden gunshot caught it a little off guard, and the question mark on one end seems to be wondering what the hell is this? Do you want to continue?

Just like that, the speedworms were stunned, and the gang members were terrified. A speedworm and more than a dozen gang members seemed to stand in place and confront each other, the two sides stared at each other, and the atmosphere was instantly extremely weird.

The swift worm turned around and ran away for more than ten seconds, and when the boss saw the so-called monster leaving, he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Gather brothers, guys." ”

the guy, of course it's a big, the shot just now has limited damage to the speedworm, and if you want to kill it, you can only use a heavy weapon.

Before the gang members had gone far, the velocrats who had just left ran back with two other velociraptors. Seeing the gang members running, it roared at the other two swift worms, as if shouting, "Brothers, these despicable humans just scared me and killed them." ”

The other two exchanged glances, and roared at the back of the gangster, as if shouting: "TMD, our brother also dares to provoke, and you must explode your chrysanthemum today." ”

"Is it really good that even the swarm is forming a faction?" Of course, what happened here did not escape the empress's gaze, she just put her right hand on her forehead and teased herself.

The battle continued, and at this time the gang stronghold gathered almost five hundred gang members armed with various firearms. Several MG42 machine guns used during World War II were deployed at high altitudes, and various light and heavy rifles and pistols were scattered around, including more than a dozen RPGs.

This kind of firepower must be a terrifying existence in normal times, but at this time, it is obviously not enough for the huge number of insects that are not afraid of death.

That being said, this is where the Zerg casualties begin.

The gang members relied on their strong strongholds and terrain to defend against the swarms that poured in from all directions. The first Zerg to be killed was the velocider that was startled at first, followed by the other two friends.

Pistols do negligible damage to the swarm, but a dense pack of light and heavy rifles, machine guns, and RPGs inflict a lot of casualties on the swarm. Now the Zerg does not have long-range firepower, and the damage can only be attacked in close combat. In the short distance of 500 meters from the gang's stronghold, more than 100 speedworms have been buried in five minutes.

Empress Shilos did not feel distressed by the casualties of the Zerg, the Zerg has always put the interests of the race first, and every swarm of insects is willing to sacrifice themselves for the race. Moreover, for the Zerg, death does not mean the end, their corpses will also be absorbed by the hive, and then hatch into new Zerg.

The resistance of the gang did not last long, and tens of thousands of Zerg troops came, and no matter how strong the armament of these five hundred people was, it would not help. In the face of sheer numbers, any line of defense is like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

In the end, the gang's stronghold was taken, more than 300 people died, and more than 100 became prisoners of the Zerg.

Why did the Zerg, who were for the purpose of killing, leave more than a hundred captives unprecedentedly? This is because Empress Shiros has just upgraded one of the hives to level two.

Two more classes have been added to the Level 2 Hive.

A ranged class, the Bone Spearworm, is like a giant scorpion, three meters tall alone, and can shoot a hard bone spur from its tail at a range of up to one thousand meters, and it takes three minutes to spawn a new bone spear after each launch.

The other is the brain worm, the so-called brain worm is the scientific research unit of the Zerg, and they are born for the evolution of the Zerg. In the long battle, in order to adapt to the environment, the Zerg need to constantly improve and evolve the genes of the race, and only if they are strong can they be above all beings.

However, the brain worm also has defects, its appearance is just like the name, it looks like a brain, and it is extremely fragile, so it needs to parasitize in other organisms, and the human beings who stand at the top of the food chain on the earth have become the best parasitistic targets for brain worms.

The Empress hatched more than a hundred brain worms, and all of them were parasitic in the bodies of the more than 100 captives.

The slums were littered with corpses, and with the fall of the gangs, the massive revolt came to an end, and the remaining humans died in fear under the frenzied slaughter of the Zerg. Throughout the day, none of the 1.2 million people in the slums escaped, and none of them were spared.

The horrific scene in the slums did not affect the city of Nopolis, which was only a few kilometres away, or that the people of Nopolis did not know what was happening in the slums until this time.

The empress walked in the ruined slums, and there was no turmoil in her heart, and the 1.2 million people and the massive absorbable resources around her were enough for the Zerg to develop for a while. When their own strength is insufficient, the Zerg does not intend to be exposed to the entire human race.
