Chapter 107: You're Here!
Fungus blankets are living Zerg organisms that intuitively have a purplish-red appearance and a thick, viscous texture with a honeycomb-like structure, relying on roots that are deeply rooted in the earth to extract and process minerals to feed themselves and other members of the Insect Population.
As long as there is an area where the Void Worm appears, it is often accompanied by the presence of a fungus blanket, and it grows very quickly, if it is not deliberately stopped, their spread will be noticed quickly, and they can grow in a variety of extreme environments from space to water.
And I don't know when mankind has discovered a new terrifying creature called the Zerg Empress, which can directly secrete fungus blanket spores!
In this way, the fungus blanket began to have a terrifying spreading speed, and if it was not controlled, it would only take a few days for the fully mature Zerg Empress to rely on spreading the fungus blanket and engulf the entire planet!
And the intelligent beings who have dealt with the Void Worm in the starry sky know what it means to let this behavior go, which means that in some way, the planet has been controlled by those damn bugs!
The fungus blanket can not only extract the minerals and nutrients of the entire planet to nourish all the alien insects and buildings living on the fungus carpet, yes, those hideous buildings such as the mother nest base and hatchery of the Zerg are actually composed of various basic alien insect bacteria, but they have played the same civilization function as other intelligent life, and can even improve the perception ability of the entire alien insect population through a certain neuronal conduction function formed in the fungus blanket.
Although it can't tell you exactly what is happening on it like eyes and ears, it can provide a considerable amount of information and early warning functions, just like a spider's web, turning any area with a fungus blanket into their hunting ground!
What is presented in front of them at this moment is such a hunting ground!
Generally, some commanders who have experience in fighting with the Void Worm will not choose to venture into the enemy's hunting ground without getting any information, which is to some extent equivalent to sending themselves and their troops into the body belonging to the Void Worm.
Because the fungus blanket is averse to high temperatures and difficult to grow in places with unsuitable temperatures, this means that high-explosive and incineration weapons can be eliminated from them, although the specific implementation is extremely difficult and costly, but in the conventional stalemate and there is no hard strategic requirements on the battlefield, it seems that it has become a routine for humans to use high-explosive incineration weapons to plow the fungus blanket on some important strategic strongholds every day...
But obviously, having lost most of the heavy armored vehicles and heavy weapons at this moment, they no longer have the conditions to clean up the fungus blanket in front of them.
This undoubtedly put the army in a dilemma, because she had already lost most of her heavy weapons and baggage due to a mistake in intelligence judgment once, and the poisonous widow seemed a little silent this time.
As an Assassin, she hid in the shadows and did not say anything more.
Eventually, Nono let himself take a deep breath and took two steps forward, stomping on the vast fungus blanket with his power armor's heavy metal feet.
The reason why he dared to make such a swagger in the presence of the sniper was because of the Lamb, a senior sniper, and the Black Widow by his side, once the sniper chose to shoot, he would inevitably reveal his position, and he would be killed by the Lamb immediately, and it would be difficult to escape.
And he had already taken the risk of opening the gate completely, and in this wide space, even if the sniper did choose to shoot, he would be completely confident in dodging it.
In this kind of reliance and confidence, he slowly squatted down, pulled out a fungus blanket from the ground, and then turned it into flying ashes, and slowly said: "Compared with the normal fungus blanket, it is obviously too dry, and the activity is obviously insufficient, maybe there are indeed remnants of the Void Worm inside, but it should also fall into a weak stage and enter a deep sleep, otherwise it is impossible to explain that the target group can go deep for so long but still live, you know, the Void Worm is a creature with a strong sense of territory." So the preliminary judgment is that it can be deepened. ”
"Oh? If that's the case, why did he choose this place as the main battlefield? In the communication channel, the poisonous widow, who had already been slapped in the face by David, would not dare to despise that cunning target no matter what.
"I'm afraid that there are many elements of bluffing, you don't forget, except for the target itself, the other personnel are ordinary people, we go deep into here, the army has reached the verge of collapse, they are unprepared to flee here, how good can it be?"
"You mean, he's just trying to create this attitude of ambush and keep us out of the way?" The poisonous widow asked.
"Quite possibly." Nojean nodded.
"Heh, after the last lesson, I don't think the other party has such superficial ideas now, maybe he really found something in this ruin, something that can pose a mortal threat to us... Trying to fight us to the death here? ”
"Seconded, my gut tells me that the front is dangerous! So I'm not going to go into this area, but it doesn't matter, I'm a sniper, just snipe at the far end. But the lamb spoke suddenly.
One of the two of them obviously retreated, and the other looked like they didn't care about themselves, which suddenly angered the long-suppressed promise, and he let out a low roar: "This is your attitude? But do we have any other choice now? Don't forget what the consequences will be if this mission fails! Don't let any of you escape Yorick's wrath! ”
Nojean's words suddenly silenced both the Poisonous Widow and Mr. Lamb, who apparently both had not-so-good memories of it.
"You take the idea, and I second." The lamb spoke.
"Humph!" The poisonous widow said she was noncommittal.
David's cunning and elusive behavior patterns obviously gave these senior bounty hunters a headache, and several consecutive times made them disgraced and lose a lot, but the originally disagreed people reached the same consensus, once they caught each other, they must let him know what kind of price they would pay for provoking them!
Xu is current negative attitude of the two made Nojan feel the need to do a pre-war mobilization, and said: "Don't forget, this strategic goal also made Director Carmen fall into unprecedented passivity, just before we went down the maelstrom, we have already made a heavier promise, which shows that the other party seems to have some big secrets, if the mission is successfully completed, it is enough to be worthy of several similar missions, maybe we can take this opportunity to let us take the ship of Director Carmen, if we can be on the list of the Anglican Crusader, Maybe we can get rid of Yorick's tentacles..."
In the end, when he thought of the last possibility, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement from the bottom of his heart, and that thought even made him tremble a little.
Bang!
However, an untimely gunshot interrupted his vision.
He almost instinctively turned sideways, avoiding the sniper, only to see another half of his arm whirling through his field of vision, and then crashing to the icy ground.
The soldier first let out a miserable howl instinctively because of the loss of his limbs, but after glancing at the corpse of the colleague not far ahead, he seemed to remember some more terrible consequences, and forced the original loud and tactful screams back, but even so, he still looked painful and embarrassed, holding his broken arm and trembling with fear.
He feared a second fatal shot, and he was afraid that his embarrassed appearance would anger the commander, and then he was shot by the commander in the name of influencing the morale of the army like his previous colleague.
Nojan took a deep breath and slowly turned his head, this time, he saw the target he had been pursuing, the guy in black armor!
Standing on a raised knoll made of ruins, David slowly lowered his sniper rifle, which was still smoking, and then hooked his finger at him...
As if to say, I'm right here, you have the guts to come here!
This is an incomparably clear and undisguised provocation...
So, the audience fell silent...
Nojean only felt that his face was hot, as if he had received another loud slap, and it was in front of everyone, fierce and direct.
At this moment, even if he knew that this strange area must have been made famous by the other party, but as he said before, even if it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, they had no other choice!
"All, Army, Attack, Attack!!"
After giving this order, Nojan took a deep breath, the muscles under the power armor expanded significantly, and the bones of his whole body made a palpitating crisp sound, and then suddenly exerted force under his feet, leaving a violent wind and deep pit in place, like a completely enraged head wolf in the wasteland, rushing in the direction of David!
Wearing the power armor, he burst out with all his strength, and he was already close to the speed of sound, and the Garda army was still stunned, and he had already rushed out a few hundred meters away.
The more than 1,000 Garda soldiers behind him had no choice but to chase their commander deeper into the fungus blanket at the maximum speed they could achieve.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, outside the entire Biochemical Research Institute, only the young soldier with his severed hand remains... He stunned at the dead corpse of his colleague not far in front of him, and then looked back at the even darker and more dangerous underground ruins...
"Medic! Wait for me! I need treatment!! ”
He suddenly let out an even more miserable cry, picked up his stump arm, and then chased after the Garda army, which had completely lost its formation, but the exhausted Garda soldiers had no time to look back at this unlucky bastard...
