Chapter 1716 Calculation
"I'm curious, since you all knew about the existence of these bugs, why did you delay attacking them until now?"
"Are you going to wait for them to develop and then have a good time?"
"But from what we know, you've always been afraid of the Zerg."
"With such a mentality, I don't believe that you can do such a mentally retarded thing as raising tigers."
It didn't take long for Yun Yue to ask again.
This time, it was no longer Randall, the "general" of the "Morning Star Federation", who responded to her.
On the mothership of the "Star Spirit Clan", the high-ranking "law enforcement officer" Toslick took over her words.
"First of all, I don't mean to offend the two, in the eyes of more civilizations, alien civilizations are very ...... It's simple. ”
"They can do whatever they want, and the starting point and purpose are simple and straightforward."
"However, the Zerg are different."
"They don't do meaningless things, and under the control of the cunning Zerg Lord, every action they take has a special meaning."
"At the edge of the star field under the absolute control of the Federation, these bugs have appeared, which is meaningless from any point of view."
"It's just that we don't think so."
"They must have a special purpose for doing so."
"Otherwise, it would be a big joke to build a Zerg base to develop and eventually destroy the Federation."
"It's because we don't know what they're really trying to do, and because we're worried that it's a trap, that's why we've been slow to act."
Slowly and delicately, Toslick responded to Yunyue's doubts.
"So now that you are proposing to purge them, does it mean that you have figured out their true purpose?"
Without the potential of a poisonous tongue, Yun Yue seemed to be intent on developing in this direction, even if she had already guessed the answer, she still asked mercilessly.
"The main reason why we chose to carry out the clean-up operation now is because of the two of us."
"We alone can't break through to the depths of the hive in a short period of time."
"Well, this also means that after we go head-to-head with the Zerg, we can't stop the Tunnel Worms from opening the wormhole and summoning more bugs to come over."
"That's very important."
"Because of our clean-up operation, it may turn into a headlong crash into the ambush of the Zerg at any time."
Toslick didn't care about Yunyue's teasing, but responded sincerely.
"Tunnel Bug ......"
muttering in his heart, Yunhai's mind came up with this insect that had an irreplaceable role in the "Zerg".
"Tunnel Worm", almost no attack power.
Of course, this is also based on its size compared to other bugs.
In the beginning, the "pit bug" was a planet killer.
Ignoring any terrain, it can move freely underground, even deeper into the planet's core.
Just like the "Devourer" that Yunhai had seen before, the "Tunnel Worm" was like a giant python that was N times larger, and could use its body to transport more bugs to other places.
Take the Earth as an example, it burrows down from the coastline on one side of the Pacific Ocean, and when its head comes out of the coastline on the other side, the insects on the other side can quickly pass through its open or even hollow body and reach the other side.
This is evident in its size.
In fact, the "pit worm" among the "Zerg" is an absolute giant.
However, aside from brute strength, it has poor defense and no other offensive capabilities.
Evolution has not made the attack and defense of the "Tunnel Worm" stronger.
It's just that it has evolved a new ability - the wormhole ability.
No longer limited to the place where the body can transport more bugs, the "pit bug" that has evolved the ability of space can easily open a "wormhole" that exists instantly.
Among the information given to Yunhai by the "Star Spirit Clan", the heaviest loss they suffered when they fought against the "Zerg" was precisely the "Six-Hole Chain" of the "Tunnel Worm".
In more different "Zerg" bases, six "pit worms" opened six "wormholes" that were linked together.
The "Star Spirit Clan", which originally wanted to fully blossom, invested almost all of its troops in that battle.
It's just that no matter which "Zerg" base they sweep in, they are all facing the resistance of several "Zerg" bases.
With the help of the six "serial wormholes", the insects with tacit understanding resisted the attack of the "Star Spirit Clan", and in turn severely damaged them.
That failure was also the main reason why the "Star Spirit Clan" finally left the home planet.
Just the "six-hole chain" has hit them hard, if the "Zerg" has more bases and more "tunnel worms" open more "serial wormholes", how can they fight in the face of the wave of insects that come and go at the moment!
"A Zerg base can probably have a few tunnel worms."
Recalling his understanding of the "pit worm" in his mind, Yunhai felt that he needed to know more.
"I'm not sure."
"Because the pit worm and the Behemoth giant worm can only be created by the Zerg second only to the dominant existence of Abasser, and this is not an easy thing for it, so there are not too many pit worms among the Zerg."
"Under normal circumstances, in a certain range of star fields, there will only be one pit worm in three to five Zerg bases."
"Of course, there is a difference between peacetime and wartime."
"In other words, in an extraordinary period, it is also possible that there will be one pit worm in a Zerg base, and even a few in between, just to be on the safe side."
This time, it was still Tosric who responded to the sea of clouds, of course, because they knew more about the Zerg.
"Even if there are two or three, it's not a big problem."
"As you said, the defense of the pit worm is not strong."
"However, we need to rush into the depths of the hive to quickly kill the pit worms and stop them from summoning more bugs."
"So, whether it's the Federation or you Star Spirit Clan, I want you to hold back as many bugs as possible."
After thinking about it, the sea of clouds sent a message.
"Your idea is consistent with the plan we have initially discussed."
"The Federation will send a special task force, and so will we, the Star Spirit Clan."
"These powerhouses who stand at the top of the power of our respective civilizations will definitely drag the defense forces around the tunnel worms and the lords at any cost, creating the perfect opportunity for the two of them as much as possible."
Receiving the message of Yunhai, Toslick was obviously a little excited, and his voice raised a few points.
"Okay."
"Then it's decided."
"Now, are you ready to go?"
The general aspect has been decided, and Yunhai, who is also looking forward to this clearing battle, said energetically.
