Chapter 399: Endless Sea of Worms

Over time, the outside of the barrier force field had been completely covered by the Zerg's blanket, and dense swarms of insects were churning and wriggling on it, stretching all the way to the end of the horizon.

There are still countless airdrop bags falling in the sky like torrential rain, each one like raindrops falling into the ocean, making waves in the endless sea of insects, which means that more insects have joined the battlefield.

Under the threat of the Drill Beast, the Tunnel Worm did not dare to continue to penetrate deep into the vicinity of the planetary engine where the keystone was located, but it still appeared underground from time to time like a whack-a-mole, helping some of the Alien Worm troops to bypass the energy barrier and directly attack the urban area of Shanghai.

Now the entire Wandering Earth Shanghai Fortress has been fighting from the inside out, the outside is an endless sea of insects constantly impacting the barrier force field, and inside there are alien insect troops smuggling in through the tunnel insects from time to time, and starting brutal street battles with the human troops stationed in the city.

Drill beasts patrol the city of Shanghai underground, trying to prevent any tunnel bugs from entering. However, the insect swarm was engaged in guerrilla warfare at this time, and with the numerical superiority of the tunnel worms, they could continuously send the alien insects into the barrier force field anyway, but they could not directly transport them behind enemy lines to the vicinity of the keystone.

Under the endless attack of the insect swarms, it was inevitable that a few streets would fall, and all the buildings and fortifications would be in ruins, and humanity had to shrink the defense line and retreat to the next area.

Just as Qiao Lu had originally predicted, the Queen of Blades concentrated her main forces near the Shanghai Fortress.

Although other cities have also been attacked by insect waves of varying degrees, they are basically within the tolerable range, and have not reached the level that can threaten the dungeon.

Only around the fortress of Shanghai, a huge number of insect swarms were gathered, like ants smelling honey, rushing towards this side frantically.

On the one hand, it is because the energy emitted by the keystone has a natural attraction to the Zerg, and on the other hand, it is also because the Queen of Blades is very aware that this Sarnagar artifact is the biggest threat to her.

If she didn't remove the thorn in her eye first, no matter how large the swarm was, she would be wiped out by the onslaught of the recharged nova, and even she herself would be beaten back to her original form by the energy of the Keystone, which was the only thing she feared.

You must know that the Queen of Blades, who has become the master of the swarm, can be resurrected by re-hatching a new body no matter what other means kill.

The Keystone is the only thing that can completely purify her, which is why the Queen of Blades has come to claim it at all costs!

Just as the defenders of the Wandering Earth were still struggling to resist the swarm, the voice of the Queen of Blades suddenly sounded in the sky above the city:

"The defence is well organised, but it's not enough. My swarm is like an ocean, and you are losing every minute, what suspense is there about the outcome? ”

As the Queen of Blades said, even if it is exchanged for a high battle loss of 1:1000, the number of alien insects in the Kpru Star Region is far more than that of humans on the Wandering Earth, not to mention that the Wandering Earth is not all soldiers, and the combat population, including logistics personnel, is less than one-tenth, and the disparity is even greater compared to the Zerg.

Now the Queen of Blades is just continuing to exert pressure, trying every means to force the Wandering Earth to use Nova Impact to clear the field, and then she can unscrupulously send all the main forces, directly bulldoze the Shanghai Fortress in a wave, and then occupy the entire Wandering Earth after getting the keystone.

The reason why she made a provocation was also to achieve this purpose, as long as the coalition government took the lead in using Nova Shock, there would be nothing to stop the main force of the Zerg.

So Qiao Lu also used spiritual energy to respond loudly: "Don't be too happy, we still have billions of people, every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers!" Let's see who is drowning in the sea of war! ”

"You're killing yourselves!"

With the angry shouts of the Queen of Blades, more high-level Zerg troops appeared on the battlefield, in addition to the stinging snakes and cockroaches that had appeared in the past, there were also corrupters with hanging tentacles shaped like octopuses, as well as sharp pecks and swollen sacs like birds, attacking the barrier force field with more ferocious long-range firepower.

Normally, the Corruptor will only be found near the most evolved nests, and their tentacles create a powerful electromagnetic field that distorts nearby gravity, allowing them to swing their tentacles and fly through the air as if they were swimming.

The Corruptor attacks by spitting out parasitic spores from the sac, blasting straight into the energy barrier like a biomissile. Or it spits out a green corrosive spray that sprays strong acid onto the barrier force field from above, continuously eroding the shield.

Either way, the Corruptor will be greatly depleted by the integrity of the barrier field, so the defenders will have to focus their fire on these disgusting and terrifying creatures first.

The Corruptor, however, is not as fragile as the Wyvern, with bulbous-like protruding neuronal shells surrounding their seemingly bloated bodies.

When hit by other objects with sufficient force, these tissues will become foamy substances to absorb, just like the reactive armor of a tank, which has an excellent protection against anti-aircraft missiles.

These damaged neuronal tissues are then discarded and regenerated, allowing the Corruptor to absorb more firepower and cause more damage to the barrier field.

After a large number of Corruptors joined the battlefield, the attrition rate of the barrier force field suddenly soared, and at the same time, cockroaches that could bury and move in the ground also entered the barrier along with the tunnel worms, putting more pressure on the garrison troops in the urban area of Shanghai.

The stinging snake's powerful spine spurs struck the energy barrier like a storm, and although each shot would still bounce off, it was clear that the barrier force field would not be able to support the keystone when it was fully charged.

What's even more terrifying is that the figure of thunder beasts began to appear in the distance, once these huge siege beasts galloped, even the interception force field of the Star Spirit Mechanical Sentinel would be shattered by a single kick, and there was almost nothing to stop their charge.

If these thunder beasts were allowed to collide with them, it would be the last camel that crushed the straw for the planetary engine barrier force field, and it was impossible to block it intact.

The swarm gradually showed their ferocious fangs, but Qiao Lu knew very well that it was not yet the time to use the Keystone Nova Impact. Because the Leviathan, the flagship of the hive fleet, has not yet arrived, and the Blade Queen of the twelfth level of psionic energy fluctuations has not yet descended on the wandering earth.

The coalition government must first make a difficult decision, in order to ensure that the barrier force field can hold out to the end, it must not be forced to charge head-on with thunder beasts like living siege vehicles.

When we have to make a trade-off, we can only give priority to ensuring the blocking effect of the barrier force field on the firepower of the air force.

The command finally ordered: "Open the barrier, concentrate the remaining energy to defend against the Zerg Air Force, and let their ground troops in." ”

Next is the real test of the Wandering Earth United Forces, how to find a way to stop these siege beasts, as well as the seemingly endless swarm on the ground, depends on their ability!
