Chapter 217: StarCraft II.18
Desert 50 km away from the first temporary base.
Gu Cheng lay on the hill and observed the movement in the distance through the scope of the AX338.
Not far from here, there is a Terran outpost, but at this time, this outpost has been reduced to a hatchery for the Zerg, the worm blanket has been spread out of the outpost, and there are many king insects flying back and forth patrolling around.
In the game, the king worm is used as a unit to provide population support for the development of the Zerg, and it is also one of the main reconnaissance methods in the early days. In addition, the king worm can also transport units, spit out temporary fungus blankets for worker bees to hatch buildings, and can also evolve into a more powerful king bug.
It is said that this slightly intelligent cosmic monster called the Poshi Behemoth was originally sucked into the swarm in order to use their keen senses to increase the fighting ability of the insects. Regardless of its initial beginnings, the King Worm has rapidly evolved into a messenger of commands, keeping the swarm in harmony in battle.
This importance is evident in the staggering number of king insects in the army of insects. King Worms play a variety of support roles, often acting as high-level scouts or spitting out mushroom blankets in case other Insect troops advance further. With the right growth stimulus, King Worm can evolve the ability to transport Insect Warriors using hollow insect shells.
At this time, there were more than 30 king insects "armed" around this outpost, and although they did not have any means of attack, no one could guarantee that there were no ground troops hiding insects in their spacious inner cavities.
Moreover, as a reconnaissance unit, once it is discovered by them, it also means that it is discovered by the army of insects.
At this time, apart from him and Mo, there were only two ghost agents and two Dark Templars left on Gu Cheng's side.
Among the two Dark Templars was the Protoss Soldier Commander who accompanied Gu Cheng to the Explorer's temporary base, Adnack.
Although all six of them have the means of "stealth", the king worm happens to be the nemesis of the six, and even if the dark templar with stealth ability is as powerful as Adnack, he will not dare to rashly enter the detection range of the king worm.
Ghost Agent Darkley observed for a while and said, "Although there are many king worms, most of them fly back and forth in a fixed route, to be precise, each king worm is only responsible for the reconnaissance of one area. It seems airtight, but in fact, as long as their patrol track and range are confirmed, it is not impossible to sneak in. ”
It is possible that it is possible, but it is not generally difficult. Gu Cheng roughly calculated, the intersection area of the four king insects at the front end is roughly the word "rice", and there are indeed many hollow points in the middle of the rice character, but the front is a "plain", there is nothing to obstruct, and it is impossible to avoid the common detection point when the king insects cross.
"I have a solution." At this time, Mo, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.
"What's the solution?" Gu Cheng asked, and the rest of the people also looked at Mo.
Mo said: "We don't have to all of us dive in, since it's a sneak mission, then half of it is enough." ”
Gu Cheng instantly understood what Mo meant: "It makes sense." Our main mission is to detect the traces of the Zerg Hive, and the secondary mission is to find an opportunity to blow it up, and if the conditions for blowing up the target do not allow, the exact location of the Hive back to the temporary base is the first task! In that case, we could have divided half of the people to lure the king worms away from different directions, and the rest of us infiltrated from the corresponding positions. ”
After the Zerg occupied this outpost, it extended a long distance outside, so this Zerg "base" occupies a large area, at least the size of two exploration team temporary bases, except for the technology of heavy classes such as the Wyvern Lair and the Mammoth Lair, almost all ground unit buildings can be seen in this base.
And, there are six main nests alone! Gu Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Zerg is really a rioter!
Although there are 6 main nests of the Zerg, according to the setting that there is only one brain worm at most in a main base of the Zerg, the mother nest will only be one of the six main nests.
Originally, it was the best way for each of the six people to be responsible for a female nest, but now that there are so many king insects, it is obviously impossible to enter them all, so they can only go to some of them first. What if you're lucky enough to find the brood?
After confirming the plan, Gu Cheng, Darkrae, and Adnak were responsible for attracting Wang Worm's attention from one direction each, and Mo and the other two plot soldiers waited for the opportunity to infiltrate.
Gu Cheng came to a hill in the northeast direction and set up AX338, compared to directly attracting the attention of the king insects, taking them for a walk, Gu Cheng was more willing to take the opportunity to snipe a few king insects.
Gu Cheng looked through the scope in the direction that Mo entered, and the first king insect directly in front of him was the target he was responsible for.
"Tsk - just try out a new skill."
Eagle Eye!
Gu Cheng turned on the Eagle Eye skill, locked on the king worm, put his modified explosion, explosion, and bomb into AX338, and aimed-
"Bang-"
Sniper!
A gunshot rang out, and a fiery red bullet slashed an afterimage at the king insect wandering in the wasteland, and with a "poof" it penetrated directly through its inner cavity, exploding a cloud of green and bright red unidentified liquid!
"Shhhh
Although it failed to deal with this king worm with one shot, the king worm flying in the air has already descended from the sky, and it is obvious that the health has bottomed out! According to the setting in the game, if the ground troops of the Zerg are loaded in the inner cavity of the king worm, then the ground troops in the inner cavity will be released on the ground before it dies, otherwise once the king worm dies directly in the air, then the ground troops in its inner cavity will be trapped in the inner cavity, which is also equivalent to death.
Wang Worm wanted to release the ground troops before he died, how could Gu Cheng give it a chance! A "bang" gunshot, and immediately made up two more shots at the fatal part of the king worm! Directly finished off this king worm.
"Tsk. Health is not as high as expected. "Gu Cheng has a greater grasp of sniping the king worm.
The second one!
Aim –
"Bang-"
Sniper!
With the violent sound of the gunshot, a paralyzing bullet flashing with blue electric light shot straight at the second king insect at a speed invisible to the naked eye, "poof", a ball of blood exploded on the king worm's body, the green mucus exploded instantly, and a large piece of the whole body was exploded, and even blue electric light could be seen on its body, falling towards the ground.
But Gu Cheng knew that although the power of this shot was not as good as the explosion and bullet of the first shot, the effect of control was much stronger than that of explosion and bullet, even if it only caused damage of half of its health, but this was already terrifying! Because, even if he doesn't make up for the next two shots, the king worm will not have a chance to release the ground troops in the inner cavity in a short time!
This feeling of sniping enemies from a distance is so refreshing, Gu Cheng can't wait to hug AX338 and kiss him a few times, of course, he doesn't have the time to do it now. Because two king insects were killed in a row, the Zerg side had already locked the location of Gu Cheng's attack, and at this time, a force had been organized to rush here.
