Chapter 338: The Plague of the Swarm

Qiao Lu rose to the air again after clearing the swarm of insects near the crater, and by this time the purple fungus carpet had completely spread throughout the city.

These live bacterial blankets, which are like a mixture of internal organs and mucus, have even quietly climbed up the building, infecting the living organs on the adult insect blanket one by one, including hatcheries, split tanks, evolution rooms, etc., almost in the blink of an eye, a front-line base has been built, and then a steady stream of insect swarms has begun.

Their energy comes from devouring the essence of other creatures, and all the corpses covered by the fungus blanket will quickly decompose and turn into nutrients for the hatching Zerg troops.

The Zerg do not even spare the corpses of their own people, dismantling and absorbing them for recycling, which can be described as a ruthless and extremely efficient war machine.

At this time, the anti-aircraft fire of the Wandering Earth had been fully deployed, basically preventing more airdrop bags from falling on the surface of the planet.

However, the swarm on the ground has completely turned into a massive flesh machine, and has begun to frantically devour the life essence of other creatures and hatch them into more Zerg troops.

Once there are enough biological essences for them to devour, even a single larva can hatch into a powerful insect mother, and then breed a powerful hive army, and eventually kill all the enemies on the entire starship, and infect them for themselves, even the powerful star spirit aircraft carrier will not be spared.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Zerg will deploy the airdrop bag as a space mine, as long as a small number of air drop bags enter the starship, it is enough to cause a terrifying disaster.

Now, by mistake, these airdrop bags have fallen to the surface of the wandering earth, which has only made the swarm more like a fish in water.

On the wandering earth, where the ecological environment has been greatly improved, there are a large number of other species for them to devour, even if not humans, which has also caused this terrible insect swarm disaster.

Even if the airdrop bags behind were shot down by anti-aircraft fire in mid-air, the hive troops on the ground have grown irrepressibly stronger!

Qiao Lu shouted in the communication channel, "Find a way to clean up the fungus carpet, and don't let them enter the dungeon anyway!" ”

The most troublesome thing is that all this happened too suddenly, and the reproduction ability of the Zerg was completely beyond the expectations of the coalition government, and the main force of the ground defense forces of the Wandering Earth was still being assembled, but the swarm had already begun to launch round after round of impact.

More poisonous explosive insects combined with a large number of jumping insects attacked the defense line of the Wandering Earth Force, and the ground defense troops that had not yet received heavy fire support could only retreat temporarily, after all, exchanging lives for lives was undoubtedly more beneficial to the Zerg.

At this moment, a huge convoy entered the city from the outside, drifted all the way around the corners, and rushed to the front line at a high speed.

Led by a large red and blue truck, it instantly transforms into a majestic steel giant after approaching the front line, holding a heavy oil tank cannon and joining the battlefield, it is the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime!

"Autobots, attack!"

Optimus Prime's canister cannon unleashed a powerful incendiary bomb that exploded into the swarm and exploded into a fireball the size of a football field, instantly burning the onrushing poisonous blastworms and hoppers along with the fungus blanket beneath their feet.

Other Transformers also brought heavy weapons into the battlefield, and with the fire support of these nearly ten meters tall and heavily armed Autobots, the pressure on the ground defense forces was greatly reduced, and the heavy fire support they were looking forward to finally arrived.

Ironhide rushed to the front with two napalm flamethrowers in his hand, and pressed the start button in his hand towards the swarm of insects.

"Let's try the barbecue!"

I saw the blazing flames turn into two blazing fire dragons gushing out of the flames, churning and sweeping a large area of jumping insects and poisonous explosive insects.

The hoppers wrapped in the flames were roasted almost instantaneously, and then burned by the napalm splashed on their bodies until they were reduced to a mass of char or even ashes.

The acid sac of the poisonous blast insect was completely unable to withstand the terrifying heat, bursting like foam in the flames, and there was no chance to get close to the iron sheet.

The addition of the Transformers brought the attack of the swarm to a halt for a moment, and their firepower was devastating to the jumping insects and poisonous blasters. Although the stinging snake's venomous spines could penetrate their steel bodies, the poison on the spines was much less effective against their mechanical lifeforms.

At this time, the air force units of the wandering earth also came to the sky above the city, preparing to carry out a large-scale bombardment of the area infected by the zerg.

But their mission didn't go so smoothly.

While a large number of buildings were infected by the fungus blanket as living organs of the Zerg, a large number of spore reptiles were hatched on the fungus carpet, ready to deal with the air force attack.

This spore reptile looks like a thick tube on the outside, and almost only this organ is left on its body, and the only meaning of its existence is to launch the spores in its body into the air tens of thousands of meters in the air.

When the Wandering Earth's air force approached, the spore reptiles immediately spit out a cloud of yellow spore powder from their mouths like the mouth of an abyssal giant, as if they were a living cannon.

Once these spores are contaminated with the air force fighters, the fuselage will immediately be corroded at high speed, unbalanced or even crashed at high altitude.

What's even more terrifying is that these spore crawlers have an extremely fast rate of fire, forming a biochemical barrage in mid-air, making it impossible for the bombers of the wandering earth to get close at all, and they will be shot down by these spore crawlers before they reach the designated bombing site.

The same is true of ballistic missile attacks, which will be shot by these spore reptiles before they fall on the blanket, and will not be able to clean up the blanket at all.

Although the front-line troops have withstood the onslaught of the swarm, the spread of the Zerg fungus blanket in the city seems to be difficult to stop.

At this time, there are already a large number of insects on the fungus blanket filling eggs for the hatchery, so that the reproduction rate of the swarm is further accelerated. And as more and more living organs rely on buildings in infected cities to hatch, more dangerous creatures are already brewing in their eggs.

The breeding and raiding abilities of these zergs simply exceeded everyone's expectations, and even Qiao Lu didn't expect the swarm's attack to be so terrifying.

After all, this is not a game, and the Zerg will not be unable to produce troops just because there are no energy crystals and high-energy gas on the wandering earth, and they have relied on constantly devouring and absorbing other species to expand since their birth.

Now that the plague of swarms has spread to the wandering Earth, it will only become more terrifying if they are not eliminated soon.

In this first encounter, Qiao Lu had already deeply realized the horror of the Zerg.
