Chapter 112: Zerg Gathering
"Brother Qi, you're back!"
Seeing Qi Dong coming back, Mei Jiangxue, Lin Hao and others immediately greeted him.
"Look at your ugly expressions, what's going on? There shouldn't be any force in Quancheng that would dare to deal with us now, right? ”
"Not this." Mei Jiangxue immediately shook her head, she looked at the people around her who kept passing by, and pointed to Qi Dong's house, "Brother Qi, let's go in and talk." ”
"Hmm."
Qi Dong opened the room, Mei Jiangxue, Lin Hao, and several cadres of the Dawning Demon Hunting Group walked to Qi Dong's room.
"Okay, let's talk about it now."
"Brother Qi, when we were doing a mission in the southeast outside the city just now, we found a large number of Zerg, a large number of Zerg!"
"Zerg? A lot of them? Qi Dong's expression tightened.
"Yes, quite a lot! We can't tell how many there are, it may be tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. We wanted to get closer, but we were spotted by their patrol bugs on the periphery, and we killed the patrol bugs and fled all the way back. ”
"Zerg ...... How did they gather not far from Quancheng at this time? Are you sure it's a large number of zerg, not a few hundred or a few thousand small zerg? ”
"Yes." Lin Hao said beside him, "It's not just a few of us, some of the members of the demon hunting group who accompanied us on the mission have seen it!" ”
"Have you told anyone about this?"
"No, we've just been back for more than ten minutes. The people of the Dawn Demon Hunters who accompanied us on our mission have been silenced by us, and they will not talk nonsense. Qi Dong, what do you think we should do now? ”
"Well, well done, don't promote, don't cause alarm! I will immediately go and talk to Wang Qinian, and ask him to inform the city lord to strengthen the defense of Quancheng. Then I went out of the city myself to observe the situation. ”
"Brother Qi, then you can be careful. Those patrol bugs have a large patrol range and move quickly. Mei Jiangxue hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, don't you know my strength. With my speed, even if they were discovered, they wouldn't be able to catch up with me. ”
After speaking, Qi Dong immediately left here and rushed to Wang Qinian.
In Qi Dong's memory, there shouldn't have been a large number of Zerg gathered near Quancheng at this time.
Once a large number of aliens gather around a certain base, the most likely thing that will happen is an alien siege.
After the end of the world, Quancheng has already been attacked twice by aliens.
The first alien attack was just a few days after the end of the world, when tens of thousands of kobolds, goblins, orniths and other races gathered around Quancheng to attack Quancheng. At that time, although Quancheng did not have a city wall, it was surrounded by the Quancheng Military Region, one of the seven major military regions in China, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers easily repelled the first wave of foreign attacks.
The second alien siege took place a day after the second red mist appeared, when tens of thousands of orcs attacked Quancheng. Among the orcs are kobolds, gnolls, kodo behemoths, centaurs and other races. Although the strength of the orcs in this attack was not ordinary, the spring city at that time already had strong and tall city walls, and the strength of the army in the spring city also doubled. Relying on the city walls, the army successfully repelled the second siege of the alien race, and there was no danger!
According to Qi Dong's memory, the third alien attack on Spring City should have occurred after the third red mist fell. But now that there are still about ten days left before the third red mist falls, there shouldn't be a large number of aliens gathered around Quancheng. And the third time the alien race attacked Spring City, there were no zergs.
"It's so strange that history has changed so dramatically? It's not been long since I was reborn, so I shouldn't have caused such a big change. ”
Without having time to think about it, Qi Dong came to Wang Qinian's residence and told Wang Qinian about the scene described by his demon hunting group.
"What you said is true?"
Wang Qinian was shocked, is there going to be an alien attack again? Although the first two times did not cause too many casualties, this time it is difficult to say. The strength of humanity is growing, and so is the strength of alien races.
"Of course, my men can't be mistaken!" Qi Dong affirmed.
"I'm going to inform the city lord of this matter right away, so that the whole city can strengthen its defenses. I wonder how many aliens are gathered this time? Scouts need to be sent right away. ”
"Leave the task of scouting the situation of the Zerg to me!"
"You?"
"Yes, I'm going to go and see how they're going to be for myself. According to my members of the Demon Hunters, these Zerg are very vigilant, and it is difficult for ordinary scouts to get close to them. ”
"Okay, I believe in your strength, and I'll leave it to you! I'll go and inform the city lord at once, you must be careful! ”
Without too much ink, Qi Dong and Wang Qinian left the Fifth Military Region. Wang Qinian rushed to the city lord's residence. Qi Dong rushed out of the city.
Running with all his might, he arrived at the city gate in a short time. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that it was Qi Dong, they hurriedly gave way, not daring to stop them. The great name of Qi Dong has spread throughout the city today.
Out of the city gate, he ran to the location Mei Jiangxue said.
"That's ......"
After running for a while, Qi Dong found that there was a black pressure in front of him.
Bugs, all bugs!
Relying on his strong eyesight, Qi Dong saw the insects on the periphery clearly.
A larva with a hideous and scary appearance, with a body length of half a meter.
A red-capped beetle with a huge single horn and a size comparable to a car.
Jumping and jumping, the body shape is similar to the jumping worm of a puppy.
Tiny in size, like a parasite of a bee.
It looks like a praying mantis, but its body size is dozens of times that of a praying mantis.
There is also a type of attack in the Zerg that is the size of a big truck, the Thunder Beast!
…… There are too many, and countless Zerg are still coming from all directions...... Qi Dong hid in a bush, looking at the Zerg gathering not far away. At a glance, it was all Zerg, and he couldn't judge the specific number of Zerg at all.
"For a Zerg of this scale, there must be a king worm in command! What are their goals? Is it another alien, or is it Springs? If it's Spring City, can Spring City resist it? ”
Qi Dong gave up the idea of counting the number of Zerg, and as far as I can see, there are no less than 100,000 Zerg. There are many more Zerg that are constantly being added.
Perhaps tomorrow, the number of Zerg will be doubled.
"If they attack Quancheng, even if Quancheng can finally hold it, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy casualties."
"What if we transfer all the people at the Springs base to the prehistoric ruins of Muria?" Qi Dong suddenly thought of this method.
Humans hide in prehistoric ruins and close the portal inside, so that the aliens outside can't enter. In the latter part of the last days, many humans did just that.
As long as there are no strong enough people in the alien race to break the portal, this method is feasible.
"That's not going to work." He shook his head in denial.
The first three floors of the Muriya Ruins are now open are large enough to barely accommodate everyone in Lower Springs. However, not to mention the third layer, even the mechanical plant beasts in the first and second layers have not been cleaned up. There's a lot of mechanical plant beasts in there.
Most of the people in Spring City are ordinary people with a physique of less than the Black Iron level, and now they are hiding in the ruins, facing all kinds of mechanical plant beasts, which is not much better than directly facing the Zerg army.
After thinking of several ways, Qi Dong didn't think of any way to reduce casualties.
"Forget it, don't think about it yet. Go back, and leave these things to the city lord and the captains of the major legions. Besides, these bugs aren't necessarily here to attack Springs. ”
Qi Dong was just about to jump down from the tree to return, when suddenly, he sensed a hint of danger.
"Not good!"
Qi Dong kicked the branch, and his body flew forward quickly.
Bang!
As soon as he flew out, a huge spike like a thick javelin shot into the place where Qi Dong had just been, and the thick trunk was pierced by the spikes.
Qi Dong landed on the ground and saw clearly the creature attacking him.
"Stinging snake beetle!"
The stinging snake beetle is one of the most ferocious and dangerous creatures of the Zerg. The carapace-shaped armor on its back can open and shoot hundreds of spikes that can shoot through half a meter thick steel plate. The strongest of the stinging snakes, its spikes can shoot through steel plates several meters thick.
In addition to its ranged attacks, the stinging snake beetle also has two scythe-like limbs. Melee combat is not inferior, and it is one of the main races among the Zerg!
Qi Dong had fought with the Zerg a lot in his previous life, and he was very familiar with the stinging snake beetle.
The average stinging snake beetle has the strength of the fourth and fifth orders of black iron, and the elite level has the strength of the sixth and seventh orders of black iron. The strongest of them can reach the strength of the ninth order of black iron.
The stinging snake beetle that attacked Qi Dong was very far away from Qi Dong, a distance of four hundred meters. No wonder Qi Dong didn't perceive it. Qi Dong had been turning on the spiritual power scanning just now, but the range of the spiritual power scanning was only three hundred meters.
The movement of the stinging snake beetle just now alarmed all kinds of insects around, and a group of insects instantly surrounded Qi Dong.
Facing these insects of different shapes, Qi Dong smiled bitterly.
"It's really unlucky, why did I encounter a stinging snake. The stinging snake is a middle and high-level soldier in the Zerg, how can he become a patrol soldier part-time? Ordinary patrol soldiers can't spot me at all, but the snake's eyes are quite useful, and it can see clearly from a distance of five hundred meters. ”
The more bugs gather around.
"You have to leave quickly, if you don't leave, you won't be able to run."
Qi Dong found that there were even high-level bugs in the distance.
What the Zerg are best at is the Worm Sea tactic, and once they are surrounded, it will be difficult to leave.
Brush...... A pair of huge brown-red wings spread out behind Qi Dong, griffin wings!
"Let's go!"
Call...... Qi Dong flew off the ground.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just as he was flying, thousands of spikes flew towards him in all directions. Among the nearby insects, there are forty or fifty stinging snake beetles mixed in!
"Tough stinging snake beetle!"
Qi Dong jerked up, dodging the spike attack from the stinging snake beetle. The spikes of the stinging snake beetle can be used both in the air and on the ground, which is very practical.
"Gaga...... Ga...... Ga ......" An unpleasant sound was heard in the distance.
"Damn, there's a flying dragon again, it's not worthy of you to play, flash!"
Wyverns are not pterosaurs of the dinosaur family, nor are they wyverns of the giant dragon subspecies. Rather, it is the name of a Zerg that resembles a wyvern and is an aerial unit of the Zerg. The mouth can spray highly toxic acid, which is super corrosive. The strength of an ordinary flying dragon is similar to that of a stinging snake, and it has the strength of the fourth and fifth orders of black iron.
The huge wings behind Qi Dong flapped hard, and a gust of wind blew, and he disappeared in an instant. The flight speed of the griffon's wings is not comparable to that of the Zerg's wyvern!
