And so it was.

Chen Zheng looked at the updated map information on his personal terminal and sighed secretly.

Sure enough, whatever you're afraid of...... Here, not at all in the direction of the crater!

After tracking for more than ten minutes, the vast jungle suddenly disappeared and turned into an endless carpet of huge fungal plants!!

Chen Zheng can see countless worker ants clearing forests and expanding planting areas...... And those wyverns flew all the way to the huge fleshy "hive" in the center of the blanket!

At this time, Chen Zhengfei was about 1,000 kilometers away from the crater in the east. In terms of the straight-line distance to the base, this place is closer than the crater, and since there has been no disturbance, the fungus carpet here is even larger than the one on the other side of the crater.

However, it seems that because there is no female worm to sit in the relationship, the density of wyverns here is low, compared to the nearly 5,000 wyverns in the crater, there are only about 60 here - this is not counting the dozen or so that have just flown back.

However, even so, this small sub-base is not defenseless.

When Chen Zheng lowered his altitude and prepared to reconnoitre...... On the fungus carpet below, countless car-sized "grape eggs" burst open, and hundreds of extremely fast flying small insects flew out of them, rushing straight towards the Viking fighter plane in mid-air!

At the same time, countless spikes on the ground also suddenly stood up—in a short moment, the entire fungus carpet seemed to turn into a giant hedgehog, and the sharp spikes silently pointed at the flying machine in the sky.

Little bugs?

Chen Zheng frowned slightly.

It may seem like they are left alone...... But Chen Zheng didn't forget that there is a kind of small insect that can even gnaw on metal! Of course, no matter how small these "small" bugs in the sky are, they are almost the size of a motorcycle, and they don't seem to be the same as the previous horror bugs with big fingernails......

"Buzz ......"

Just when Chen Zheng was a little hesitant, these extremely fast flying insects had actually caught up!

"Damn ......"

Chen Zheng was taken aback.

If nothing else, this speed is already more than Mach 2! Although it has not reached the top speed of a Viking drone, even a Wyvern cannot fly at such a high speed!!

"Hum—"

The wings of the Viking fighter are slightly retracted, and the engine is suddenly strengthened! Immediately, two light blue flame marks were left in the air, and the speed quickly exceeded Mach 2.5...... Mach 3...... All the way up to Mach 3.5 in just a few seconds!

With a loud roar, the Viking fighter plane suddenly rushed out of the encirclement composed of hundreds of flying insects, without giving them any chance to exert their combat effectiveness.

However, the flying insects persevered in chasing the Viking fighters, although the speed was much slower, but they were like ground-to-air missiles that had been launched, and they chased Chen Zheng's flame tail.

They chased after it for five minutes! Until—

"Bang!"

A flying insect that had exhausted its strength suddenly swelled, bursting out a large amount of green liquid like a water balloon that had been pinched and bursting...... Although it is not known what they are yet, Chen Zheng guesses that they should have something to do with the acid that corroded the Explorer 1 robot before.

But...... These flying insects can actually explode themselves!

Fortunately, Chen Zheng was more cautious and did not rely on the blades of the Viking fighter to fight hard...... Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!

It wasn't until all the flying insects had exhausted their physical strength and exploded into a cloud of green acid in the sky that Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned the nose of the plane and flew back again.

This time, Chen Zheng didn't dare to get too close, nor did he reduce his speed, but just quickly swept through the air, and before the air defense facilities on the ground could react, Chen Zheng had already left.

After repeating it several times in a row, Chen Zheng collected the data of the entire base, turned the nose of the plane and flew back in the direction of the base.

In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Zheng's monitoring system did not find out where these flying dragons came from...... Those bugs actually quietly opened up another huge base!!

Whether it is the area of the fungus blanket or the number of worker ants, the scale here completely exceeds that of the crater!

This base can't be allowed to continue to exist!

Thinking like this, Chen Zheng opened the support channel: "Let the Viking team prepare and hang the No. 1 cloud burst bomb on their fighter...... Hang it up and fly here immediately. ”

"Yes." As Chen Zheng's supporter, Dong Jie quickly arranged the things that Chen Zheng ordered.

"Also, prepare two more No. 1 Cloudburst Bombs...... Xiaoxiao and I are going back to mount it too. ”

"Yes." Dong Jie answered crisply.

……

Under Chen Zheng's resource tilt regardless of the cost, the most basic chip was finally developed.

Like the technological route on Earth, Type 1 chips are large-scale integrated circuits for silicon-based semiconductors. However, compared with those mature chips on the earth, the chips produced by Wildstar Technology are not only large in size and low in efficacy, but also completely incomparable with the earth's products in terms of reliability.

This is due to the lack of a series of technologies such as etching fluids, anti-corrosion coatings, and high-precision printers, and there is still a long way to go to improve.

However, due to the lack of reliability, the zero-crystal communicators in the drones all have 4 sets of the same hardware system, of which three are powered on and one is on standby.

Although the system is still very unstable and the built-in communication software is far from perfect, at least they can ensure the operation of a total of 6 zero-crystal network nodes for 5 UAVs and a fighter.

With Chen Zheng's order, the four Viking human machine operators were already in place, and the Viking drones they controlled had also stopped on the runway......

At this time, the ground crew was slowly pushing out the fuel bombs that were huge and longer than the Viking human machine from the underground bunker, and carefully hung these terrifying creatures on the pylons on the belly of the Viking drone.

"The Viking team is ready, and it is requested to take off."

"Permission to take off."

With Dong Jie's permission issued, the navigation lights in front of the four drone operators suddenly lit up...... At this point, the terminal in front of them was already connected to the Viking drone.

"Take off!"

"Take-off ......"

“……”

Four Viking drones leapt into the sky and flew towards the newly discovered Zerg base.

A few minutes later, Chen Zheng and Xiaoxiao also hung up the huge cloud burst bomb and rushed away in the direction of the Zerg sub-base again.

……

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

A series of muffled explosions rang out, and the base that the Zerg had worked so hard to build turned into a sea of fire...... The few remaining wyverns were also shot down by Xiao Xiaoyi one by one, falling into the sea of fire below, and turning into charcoal along with their bases.

The firelight reflected Chen Zheng's face, but there was no trace of joy on his face:

“…… Expand the search area and continue the search along the equator...... I have a hunch that there should be more than one such sub-base......"
