Chapter 24: The Battle of the Brood

Ask for a referral ticket!! Tears were dripping, and the chrysanthemum was exploded twice overnight, so painful! Ask for recommendation votes and ask for comfort.

Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Dundee, an insider, Fang Senyan and Mo Gansha suddenly suddenly realized, no wonder the situation on the entire P star was so weird. Obviously, when humans encounter the Zerg, most of the two sides will fight. However, if there is no alien race, whether it is a human race or a zerg, it is obvious that they are separated from each other, and there is a sense of fighting for each other, obviously expecting the other party to hit the street as soon as possible.

Mo Gansha suddenly said:

"So all the human bases are built on the veins of Pandora?"

Lieutenant Colonel Dundee nodded:

"All Zerg bases are like this."

Fang Senyan suddenly interjected:

"What do you need these ores for the Zerg?"

Lieutenant Colonel Dundee coughed violently, and then said:

"Only with the help of the energy inside the ore can they survive and reproduce - intuitively, Pandora's superconducting crystal ore is like the bread we have to eat every day, and the food harvested by the Zerg hunting is more like salad dressing, cream and other condiments."

"Wow, so these bugs think we can find more bread for them with these salad dressings?" Mogansha interfaced.

"Nope." Lieutenant Colonel Dundee said seriously: "This swarm called Blackthorn is very lucky, they have found their Christmas feast - it is an incredible Pandora deposit - intuitively, the reserves of this deposit alone are one-tenth of the proven known reserves of the entire P planet, enough for this swarm to mine for ten years - when their brain worms are frantically drawing power to grow and develop the whole tribe." Unfortunately, three nearby swarms of insects that sensed the threat and were red-eyed joined forces to attack the Blackthorns! Among the Zerg who advocate the law of the jungle, this behavior is actually quite common. ”

"The end of this attack is that although the black thorn swarm was once attacked to the core hinterland brood and suffered heavy casualties, relying on the powerful recovery ability brought by a large number of Pandora energy crystal reserves, a steady stream of new troops were hatched, and the two swarms that attacked in the future were dragged to death! And the brainworms of the two swarms were also directly plundered and devoured by the brainworms of the Blackthorn tribe. ”

"Brain worms?" Moganshaqi said: "What is that?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Dundee said seriously:

"It's similar to the queen bee and queen bee in ants and bee colonies, its ability is completely focused on controlling the development and evolution direction of the entire swarm, and it has a very powerful mental ability, in short, it belongs to the brain of the entire swarm. And the Mother of Blackthorn, who hijacked us, is in charge of reproduction and some basic functions - of course, there is only one brain worm in a swarm. If a second head appears, the two heads will either devour each other or split the entire swarm into two parts. ”

Fang Senyan pondered and digested the information that Lieutenant Colonel Dundee brought to him, but heard Lieutenant Colonel Dundee continue:

"When the brainworms of the black thorn swarm fell into an advanced slumber because they absorbed the rest of the brainworms and ate enough, the remaining thick liquid tribe gathered all the remaining strength at this time and launched a suicide raid from all directions in one fell swoop! Because the defense power of the black thorn swarm was still being repaired at this time, the thick liquid tribe successfully broke through the center with an elite army and robbed the sleeping brain worm black thorn, making this tribe fall into a leaderless situation, and only rely on instinctive defense to protect it. ”

(Some people may not understand the function of brain worms above, but to use an analogy, the mother of black thorns is equivalent to choosing your main base mother nest when the Zerg play interstellar.) And the brain worm is equivalent to sitting in front of the computer and controlling you. If you are captured, the various defenses in the base will still work, and the patrols/offensive units you set up will also defend against them according to their previous orders and instincts. But that kind of dull surname can be imagined)" Now every day the thick liquid tribe will mobilize newly hatched troops to frantically attack a place in the base, trying to find a breakthrough in it, and occupy this Pandora crystal bonanza as early as possible, and the main function of the mother of black thorns is to reproduce rather than fight and decision-making, and its spiritual power can only command less than one-third of the new production troops in the base to fight at the same time, and it is also relatively dull in tactics. So when she found out that we were at war with the Thick Liquid Clan, she didn't kill us, but wanted to use our power against the Thick Liquid Clan! Once the Mother of Blackthorn is killed, the Liquid Tribe will be able to easily control all the facilities and buildings here, and we will be dead. ”

"Wait!" Fang Senyan suddenly said, "There is a very critical question, what about the brain worms of the Black Thorn Clan?" I noticed that it was hijacked and taken away, not killed. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Dundee was stunned and said, "I don't know about this, but I was indeed kidnapped." ”

At this time, there was a throbbing in the hearts of everyone present, and then the voice of the Mother of Black Thorn sounded:

"The magic juice is still alive, and after devouring the two mind worms, it has reached the basic conditions for successfully advancing to the Black Iron level lord! Even if he failed to advance, his strength was at least two or three times that of the thick liquid brain worm, and the devouring between the brain worms was not the plundering of ** as you imagined, but the plundering of the level of spiritual power. The brain worm of the thick liquid tribe will not only not kill it, but will try its best to protect the safety and integrity of its body, and the weak worm will definitely imprison the magic juice and slowly consume its mental power, and then wait until it is exhausted before it begins to attack with its own brain waves, slowly trying to devour, because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides, so this process will last for more than 120 hours. ”

Fang Senyan converted, so that the Brain Worm Demon Juice could survive for at least two to three days...... His mind began to spin rapidly.

Suddenly, there was an indescribable low sound from the entire base, the sound was like the "boom" of an airplane passing through the clouds in the sky, and the more than ten survivors suddenly jumped up together, quickly pounced on their weapons, and then began to put on combat armor, obviously preparing for battle. Although they all have injuries on their bodies, they are still quite agile in their movements. Mo Gansha was stunned and said:

"What, there's a fight?"

“gogogo!” Lieutenant Colonel Dundee and the soldiers were already yelling, and he also put on his combat armor, grabbed a standard C-14 "penetrating" electromagnetic rifle, and turned his head and said, "Boys, you guys take a break first, we're going to kick the ass of those incoming bug cubs." ”

Mo Gansha was about to speak, but several extremely powerful and huge elite beasts had already sprang out next to him, and they sprinted up very violently in this group of humans, Mo Gansha couldn't ask if he wanted to, he looked at Fang Senyan:

"What should we do now?"

Fang Senyan said categorically:

"Keep up, of course, at least make sure Lieutenant Colonel Dundee doesn't die. If we can get the mission from him, then at least we don't have to worry about being forced out of this world because of the extermination of the group over there. ”

The two of them quickly followed their route, and along the way they saw a large number of purple-red organic buildings, or organs, the lowest of which were as tall as two or three stories high, hideous and weird, covered with green tendons and blood vessels the thickness of arms, and secreted various viscous liquids, making gurgling sounds, and a strange smell floating in the air.

The largest of them is the place called the "Mother Hive", which looks like a majestic hill of flesh and blood, but it is five or six stories high, covering an area of more than a kilometer, and its surface is covered with extremely thick purple-red veins, with hundreds of purple-red six-legged beetles the size of millstones pouting their mouthparts to dig on the rocky mountain next to it, and then pulling the crystals contained in it, constantly walking between the mother nest and the stone mountain.

These beetles have peculiar mouthparts, first spray acid to melt the hard rock, and then use two developed mouthparts to crush the rock, dig out the crystals and pile them together, in addition, there is also a yellow-green associated ore called rare gas in the crystals that they collect, this thing is not like crystals for the zerg, without the necessities that they can't survive, but it is the key factor for them to improve the transformation and advancement. According to the information obtained by Fang Senyan, this is the Zerg production unit known as the "Drones". These guys are very weak in combat, but important surnames have to be placed above all arms.

There are seven or eight huge "dens" around the brood, which are exactly the same shape as the brood, but are not inferior in size and size. They have only one function, that is, to reproduce embryonic larvae - this thing is similar to an embryo, and various types of Zerg can be hatched according to the hormones and energy injected by the mother nest - when the mother nest is destroyed, it may also be developed by one of the other animal nests for a long time, and then take over the function of the mother nest. Usually the mother nest can produce more than fifteen embryogonal larvae per hour, while the average animal nest can only produce about five.

The sound of fierce battle came not far from the brood, Fang Senyan and the others immediately trotted forward, and along the way, they saw a large number of Zerg troops standing in place in a daze, unaware of the fierce battle that was only five hundred meters away at most, this was obviously the disadvantage of losing the brain worm.
