Chapter 145: Devouring Fusion
On the brown hillside as far as the eye can see, there are towering building organs and defense organs of the Zerg. Among them, the spore tower, which fires spore bullets, constantly spews out a large number of fist-sized spores from the exit above, like a fountain.
After these spores erupt, they do not fall to the ground, but fly in the air, blocking the sky where the entire Zerg brood is located.
If the flying unit wants to fly from the sky, or shoot missiles or shells to bombard the area, it will be intercepted in mid-air by these strong acid spores that contain acid, or fire spores that contain fire.
For this Zerg brood, it is no longer possible to saturate and bombard with artillery fire as in the previous attack on the sub-base, which will be of no use except wasting ammunition.
And if you want to advance directly from the ground, and finally ** brood, it is obviously very difficult, because the dense insects, composed of ground troops, will be like a tide to flood the people rushing - because of the abandonment of the three sub-bases, the brain worms in this place, there are more than 200,000 insects under his hands.
This number, in any case, is much more than that of human soldiers.
The brain worms in the brood are very similar to the mother brain in appearance, both of which are the appearance of a bare brain, but they are far less large and powerful than the mother brain.
This brain worm, in the recent period, when the Zerg was at an absolute disadvantage, contacted the mother brain again and again through telepathy, and what made it desperate was that the mother brain did not respond to any of its connections, as an existence with extremely high intelligence, the brain worm understood that he was abandoned by the mother brain.
Now, the brain worms of this nest are still not dead, this time, as long as they resist the attack of humans, and in the war, wipe out most of the human army, then there is still hope of turning the tables.
When the time comes, if the human base is reversed, it will no longer be a subordinate fighting for the mother's brain, and it will be the insect king who really rules the planet.
The human army stopped in the sphere of influence occupied by the bug nest, and the officers who got down from the chariot looked at the tall Zerg buildings on the hillside in the distance, and the black pressed bugs, as well as the spore bullets everywhere in the air, and they all frowned.
The cost of such a storming is too great.
When humans drove here, they were immediately charged by insects, because the sky was blocked by spores, and the winged membrane flying insects could not rise into the air, and these insects, mixed with the ranks of the swift beetles, rushed towards the human army together, and the scene of pouring down the hillside was reminiscent of a mudslide.
The Bug Tide attack is exactly what the Zerg are best at, and it is also the most threatening combat method.
A large number of soldiers in front pulled the trigger and fired bullets, and the heavy tanks quickly grabbed the ground and stabilized it, and then opened the muzzles, and in the deafening roar of the shelling, the waves of insects that hit continued to burst into black flames and thick smoke.
In the bullets and explosions, a large number of bugs were pierced through the body or blown into pieces of pulp, but there were so many bugs in the charge that some Scorpion chariots drove in and ran over them with tank-like metal tracks.
After mobilizing combat units from the three sub-bases, let the Brain Worm in this battle and give full play to the numerical advantage of the Zerg. One by one, the insects that are not afraid of death charged, which are also mixed with huge tank worms, thorn worms with spikes all over their bodies, meat vines with fleshy tentacles sticking out of their bodies, and other high-level combat units.
Machine gunners and scorpion chariots were quickly overwhelmed by the charging insects, and seeing the insects attacking wildly, more than a thousand elite soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor also rushed into the battlefield to fight with explosive flame guns and electromagnetic rifles, which barely stopped the insect offensive.
In such a battle, Ling Xuan naturally rushed to the forefront, holding a giant alloy war knife that was close to two meters, and with every slash, a worm would be chopped.
One by one, the slashed corpse fragments flew out, and at this time, a fleshy vine insect rushed up, more than a dozen snake-like tentacles, and there were bony spikes at the top, bursting towards him. The metal sword stood in front of him, and the explosive tentacles slammed into the metal sword, making a loud crashing sound.
Feeling the impact of the weapon, Ling Xuan took advantage of the impact momentum to retreat, one back collision, knocking a swift beetle behind him, and another spinning around, forcing the insect away with an alloy war knife.
Seeing that there were insects all around, the fleshy tentacles of the meat vine insects also exploded at him again like a flying spear, Ling Xuan grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, his heels pressed against the ground, his body rotated, and under the centrifugal force brought by the rotation, the heavy alloy war knife swept in all directions.
His body seemed to have become a rapidly spinning top, slashing down the ground towards the fleshy vine, and the flickering golden light on the alloy war knife covered his body, looking like a whirlwind of blades strangled at high speed!
This is a martial art that is purely driven by strength and skill, Ling Xuan has been fighting for more than a year, and of course there has been progress in martial arts, the whirlwind of rotating blades has strangled all the surrounding swift beetles, and then rushed to the body of the meat vine worm, and the huge meat vine worm seems to be stuffed into the meat grinder.
The splattered flesh smashed and landed on the ground around it, quickly covering a thick layer.
Using the blade whirlwind to cut a piece in the insect tide, Ling Xuan threw out several high-explosive grenades, relieved himself with the grenade explosion, and then danced the alloy war knife again. He saw in the distance, several machine gunners were back to back against the bugs, and seemed to be in danger, and hurriedly rushed over to save people.
After rescuing dozens of soldiers, Ling Xuan suddenly heard an alarm in the army, and with the sound of the alarm, a strange-looking car drove out, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and covered his eyes with his hands.
As a missile painted red and black and extremely dangerous at first glance was fired, the sky shone brightly, and the huge light made the stars lose their brilliance. A violent shockwave in the light erupted in all directions, and at the same time a flame mushroom cloud rose.
Because of the critical situation, mankind finally used nuclear bombs - only ultra-small nuclear warheads, of course.
This kind of ultra-small nuclear warhead is far less powerful than Ling Xuan's space jump nuclear bomb against the mother brain, it is the kind of small tactical nuclear bomb with low radiation and low lethality, but no matter how low the power is, the nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb after all.
When a nuclear warhead explodes, the shock wave caused by it destroys or blows away the strong acid spores and fire spores that are blocked in the sky. There were also three nuclear warheads, which exploded several mushroom clouds in the insect tide, destroying tens of thousands of bugs.
Two other nuclear bombs were fired into the distance, blowing up a large number of defensive organs on the hillside.
Five small tactical nuclear warheads - that's the limit of what can be fired, any more would have been too much for the machine gunners to protect themselves from radiation, and would have caused serious contamination of the area.
The horror of radiation contamination is not only that it affects humans themselves, but also that insects mutate. Humans used to use nuclear bombs to deal with bugs, and as a result, the elite bugs that absorbed radiation mutations were extremely powerful, and some could even use nuclear energy, one by one.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the insect tide was too fierce and the human losses were too great, the military would not have launched tactical nuclear bombs.
Five tactical nukes that cleared the blocked skies and took out a large number of bugs. The human chariots, armored elite soldiers, and machine gunners in protective suits started again after the flames of the nuclear explosion had dissipated.
The insects, which had been hit hard, finally could no longer resist, the chariots advanced and crushed, the air fighters suppressed, the missiles and artillery bombardment, and the soldiers cooperated with the attack, and after more than an hour, the human army advanced to the top of the hillside.
Some organic buildings have been destroyed, and of course, the Zerg's defensive buildings, such as the Ground Thorn Tower, Spore Tower, etc., have also brought great losses to the human race, and some chariots have been destroyed. But in any case, the balance of victory in the war, little by little, is tilted on the side of humanity.
The sky gradually became darker, and the Zerg organ building on the hillside was almost bulldozed by cannon fodder, and the corpses of insects were covered with the ground.
Ling Xuan put on the power armor and flew from the sky in the direction of the lair of the Zerg base, that is, the peak of the mountainside, and after killing a dozen of the elite insects flying in with pulse rays, he looked at the mountain peak in surprise.
I saw a disgusting brain mass about five meters in diameter and full of ravines, on an unknown black and red fleshy organ. The organ has a huge mouth full of teeth, and a large number of insects gather around, and the fleshy organ constantly produces tentacles that entangle the insects in it.
As the mouth chews, these insects seem to be devoured and absorbed, the black-red fleshy organs are getting taller and taller, and the tentacles and flesh limbs born from the organs are getting thicker and thicker, and even dozens or hundreds of insects can be swept into the mouth that also grows larger.
"It's ...... Devouring Evolution? ”
When Ling Xuan communicated with his mother's brain, he had heard of this, that the Zerg generally evolved through fighting, killing, and plundering the genes of other creatures. The mother brain has studied that directly devouring the body of the insect can make the body bigger and stronger, but such devouring evolution, the gene is unstable, and it is easy to disintegrate.
Obviously, the brain worms in this place, unable to resist the attack of humans, chose to devour the insects, thus mutating into giant monster insects, and using their combat power to the limit to fight against the attacking forces of humans.
There was a roar of what seemed painful, and the fleshy organ was pulled out of the ground, and it now looked like it was fifty or sixty meters tall.
At the top of the organ, there is a brain inlaid as the main body of the brain worm, and in the middle of the body there is a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and on the body, some flesh limbs with a diameter of one meter are dancing wildly.
Judging from the appearance, it was ** and terrifying, so that the human soldiers who saw this scene were shocked and stunned.
In the mouth of this strange insect, an incandescent light lit up, and some elite insects can call on the biological energy generated by the cells to defend and attack, devouring tens of thousands of insects. (To be continued.) )
