CHAPTER XXXI
The supply worm crawled slowly across the battlefield, devouring the corpses of the soldiers and insects, digesting and decomposing them with its powerful stomach. Wounded soldiers and insects are brought back to recuperate, as for those who are too injured to recover by self-healing...... Tyran's Zerg currently have no means of treatment, so they can only give them a good time and recover the corpses together.
The supply worm is not afraid of spores, it was developed after the study of spores, it can secrete a substance in the intestines and respiratory tract that breaks down spores, so that they cannot reproduce in their bodies, and in the case of the skin, Tylen has weakened the spores, making it impossible to infect through the skin.
"It's a disappointment," Taryn said, "but that's fine, at least it's not too much of a loss." ”
The loss is too great for the Zerg to support, after all, the current recovery rate of the Zerg for resources is not very high, and the corpse cannot be completely transformed into a new Zerg after being recovered, after all, how many catties can you grow after eating ten catties of meat and completely digesting it?
"Are we going to counterattack it?" Fast asked, "We need to expand, otherwise the size of the swarm will be difficult to go any further." ”
"Expansion...... Tyron thought for a moment, "as far as we've found so far, how many Zerg troops are there, and how many troops can be pulled up temporarily?" ”
“…… Words of the regular army...... The nearest city is about 2,000, if you count the temporary requisition...... All people are soldiers. Fast said.
"Two thousand...... We're only about one or two thousand more swarms than that, right? "And considering that all the Zermen are soldiers...... An additional unit could be requisitioned at any time...... There are reinforcements from other places that may be coming......"
"If you kill as many enemies as you can, if you drag them down...... Maybe there will be a chance to ......" Tyron weighed the pros and cons, the Zerg gradually expanded in all directions, and the small hive of the green grassland as an outpost had moved away from its original location, and when the Zerg expanded to the vicinity of the Zerg's pasture, it was equivalent to the Zerg putting a knife on the Zerg's neck.
"So...... Based on the insect nest of the Qingqing grassland, we began to lay the fungus blanket, and we should connect our fungus blanket with the one on the other side of the Qingqing grassland to form a supply line. After that, we'll transfer our soldiers and bugs over there. Taryn said. Although the bacterial blanket itself will consume a lot in the process of transporting resources, the bacterial blanket in the non-expanding state can also replenish some organic matter, after all, they can also photosynthesize. You can make up for some of the consumed resources and reduce costs.
Taryn decided to strike before the other side expanded. After all, the other party will soon expand to himself, and within the time that the other party expands, the Zerg can't develop too many things, and the number of soldiers and insects is limited by resources, and since the growth period of the soldiers and insects is about three months, there is no way to replenish them while fighting on the battlefield. In addition to these soldiers and insects on the surface, the rest is a reserve army that is in a chrysalis state and can hatch at any time. However, these troops cannot be dispatched at will, and the original purpose is to prevent the swarm from being quickly replenished after the defeat of the war, and to prevent the existence of being wiped out by a third party.
"The frontal combat power of the Zermen is very strong, perhaps, we can delay until winter before launching an attack, most of the Zermen will have to hibernate in winter, and our surprise attack will be very effective. Before that, expand the fungus blanket and connect with the insect hives in the green grassland, and send the combat troops of the Zerg to that side, and all those who try to search for us will not be left behind. Anyone who sees the Zerg can't be allowed to go back alive. ”
If the Zerg goes back and exposes the news of the Zerg...... That king must have remembered the Zerg, and he probably felt threatened and moved a large army to this place, so that the fight would start...... Anyway, Taryn thinks it's okay to fight one or two Zerg armies, but if it's really a big army...... I'm afraid I can't beat it.
For the sake of the war in the future, Taryn ordered the hatching of the Load Worm and the Acid Spurter to be increased, and if the number is too small, I am afraid that it will be suppressed by the opponent's firepower...... Although it's just the range of the scavenger...... In short, the combat effectiveness of the load worm is still much stronger than that of the soldier bug, and it is always better to have a few more super soldiers.
……
While Tyron's side was actively preparing for the battle, the nezumi Caiyunfan was on his side.
Cai Yunfan looked at his smooth green arms, I don't know what the reason is, he not only survived the strange epidemic, but also became like this, the hair on his whole body has completely fallen off, his skin has turned green, there is a hard feeling, but it does not hinder his movement at all.
Not only that, but as soon as his blood touches another creature, that creature will quickly die, and then a rat-man like him will "grow" from that creature's corpse. Of course, the size of the rat man is related to the size of the creature stained with blood, but it will not exceed its own size.
This weird ability even made Cai Yunfan doubt that he was still not a rat man. However, in addition to it, there are several other rat people who have also become in this state like it.
However, the previous disease could no longer affect them, which allowed them to develop again.
But the newborn nezumi need to be taught, they don't have the knowledge or anything, and they don't have the power of waaagh or the power of thinking.
The problem is that there aren't many nezumi who remain alive and become like it, and there are too many new "nezumen" that have been created for experimentation. There is a shortage of manpower.
However, after the difficult period of the previous years, the nezumi is now barely on the right track, and he will not be as busy as before.
Looking into the distance, it was the former home of the nezumi. The nezumi were forced to migrate because they lost the war with the wormmen, but now they have this strange ability...... Will the nezumi be able to return to their homeland and destroy the wormmen? Cai Yunfan has never forgotten the war between the rat man and the insect man.
"Perhaps, we have a chance to defeat the worms......" Cai Yunfan thought.
……
On the Worm Man's side, they didn't hear from the Reclamation Team after more than ten days in the past, and they felt that something was wrong, so they sent people to try to contact the Reclamation Team, but the Wormmen sent out were gone, and the Wormmen were a little panicked this time, and they sent a search team again, but the search team also lost contact.
This time the bugmen felt weird, they sent an army to search this time, this time, there was finally a harvest, the patrolling soldiers found the escaped bugmen, the other party was intact, but after leaving a sentence "That's an army" and died, after that, a green mist came out of the corpse, and the wormman who inhaled the mist also died suddenly, and the corpse also appeared in the same situation. This caused a period of confusion within the Zermen.
