While thinking about it, Qin Fen gave a corollary, saying:

"I've read the relevant information and literature on the battleship before, all human bases are built on the veins of cosmic crystals, and all Zerg bases are the same."

"Once the ore vein resources are exhausted, for the continuation of the race, either to explore the unknown hidden ore veins, or to occupy the magpie's nest and grab the territory...... After all, the cake is so big, but there are so many hands to grab, and under the accumulation of irreconcilable contradictions, war will naturally break out. ”

Seeing that Qin Fen was right, Miss Yinzi pursed her lips and said, "So what are we going to do next?" ”

Qin Fen said in a deep voice: "Continue to investigate, inferences are inferences after all." Only by seeing with your own eyes can you make an accurate judgment. ”

There was silence in the canyon, except for the whining wind blowing by, rolling up the stench of decay. A few people followed the clear and messy traces left behind and chased them all the way to the south, and it was also thanks to the fact that there were no sandstorms in the past two days, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to track.

It didn't take long for everyone to find a trail not far away, a trail that had been trampled out by various living hoof prints!

Following these traces, turning out of the canyon and over the hills, Xiangzi, who was exploring the way in front, raised his hand to signal, and the group immediately stopped moving.

"Front...... It's a Zerg brood! Shoko's voice came in a low voice, fluctuating slightly.

Qin Fen took the infrared farsighted telescope handed by Miss Yinzi and looked down.

Between the rolling hills, about five kilometers away, there is a rolling flesh workshop.

Slowly moving his gaze, Qin Fen saw a large number of purple-red organic buildings, or organs, the lowest of which were as tall as two or three stories tall, hideous and weird, covered with green tendons and blood vessels the thickness of arms, and secreted various viscous liquids. Although I can't hear it, I can make up the sound of "poof, puff, puff" from the throbbing bulging upper brain, and it seems that there is a strange smell floating in the air.

The largest of these is what humans call the "Mother Hive", which looks like a towering flesh/hill, but it is only five or six stories high, covering an area about the size of a villa, and its surface is covered with extremely thick purple-red veins, and hundreds of purple-red six-legged beetles the size of millstones pouting their mouthparts to dig in the nearby rocky mountain, and then pull the crystals contained in them, constantly walking between the mother nest and the mine.

These beetles have peculiar mouthparts, spraying acid to melt the hard rock, then using two well-developed mouthparts to crush the rock, digging out the crystals and piling them up in one place, and then throwing some hedrons into a huge flesh/gut cavity that looks like a blender at regular intervals.

What should have been a yellowish-brown ground was now covered in a lavender blanket of organic matter. From a distance, it looks like a carpet, rendering the ground a magnificent purple.

It's clearly a real hive. Once the rash intruder is not recognized by the Zerg, he will definitely suffer an unusually fierce and crazy attack! Qin Fen looked carefully, and could see that there were densely packed Zerg creatures everywhere, and there were also clumps of brown jellyfish floating in the sky, if you want to be more vivid, it looks like the shape of a tree trunk-like nerve under the human brain tissue...... The all-round defense of the sea, land and air has turned this place into a flesh-and-blood killing field for whoever breaks and who dies.

In fact, it has been months since the Terrans landed on the planet, but so far, there has been no news of humans catching the mother worm - the Zerg are a very aggressive race, they can die in battle, but they will not be captured. Even such a small Zerg tribe in front of him would require a full armed force of nearly a thousand people to attack it!

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and cold sweat was already breaking out on their heads. If you accidentally alarm the Zerg tribe below, you can imagine what will happen to everyone.

At this time, Qin Fen suddenly said:

"In the map sent to us by the base, is there any introduction to this zerg nest?"

Miss Silver quickly replied:

"Yes, there is only one small vein point here, so it can only support the daily consumption of a small zerg nest. Detection data from three days ago revealed that the Zerg occupying the area was codenamed 'Blacktooth'. ”

Qin Fen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he said:

"Have you noticed that the Zerg below seems to be a little out of place with the color of the ground?"

The Titan was shocked, "What do you mean?!" ”

Qin Fen nodded, raised his voice and said:

"Although I didn't witness the process of the previous battles, there are undoubtedly many things that can be deduced and complemented according to the laws of evolution."

"First of all, the Zerg is a species with the lofty ideal of 'evolution', and their relationship with each other may not be friendly, but there will be no conflict between swords and swords. In the absence of humans as the driving force behind this, there is only one reason why the two Zerg will face each other...... Survive! ”

"Cosmic crystals are obviously not renewable resources such as sunlight and wind, and mining a little bit will be a little less. So what do you do when you collect light from the resources near you? Are you just waiting to starve to death? ”

Miss Silver waved her fist and said:

"Of course not, even bugs can't be so stupid. I guess they will continue to explore the rest of the planet before the veins are gone, and then rebuild a brood. ”

Qin Fen smiled and continued, "So what if the veins are too far away, or if there are more powerful Zerg entrenched near the detected veins? ”

The Titan said calmly:

"If it were me, the best thing to do would be to grab the territory of a weaker force than myself...... People can't be suffocated by urine, and in a critical moment, anything can be done, and insects are no exception. ”

"That's it." Qin Fen smiled and said, "Have you noticed it, are most of those Zerg combat units below gathered on the eastern side?" And that direction...... The only thing to be wary of is the Whiskey Troops! ”

No one answered Qin Fen, because they were all silent. What Qin Fen said is understood by everyone at first hearing, and it is not complicated, but to be able to find the key points in these clues and connect them together, you have to have extremely strong logical thinking and imagination!

Qin Fen was obviously very satisfied with the shocking effect brought to everyone, and raised his voice slightly:

"The map shows that there is only one small vein in the whisky base, and the amount of mining is definitely not more than three months. The Whiskey Troop is only a unit of hundreds of men, and it has to be mentioned that there must be many logistic, construction and mining personnel in it, so that the real combat effectiveness is sharply reduced again. Coupled with the hasty establishment of the base, the defensive fortifications have not yet been fully completed, and the possibility of being attacked by the Zerg is quite high. ”

"There's still something I don't understand." At this time, the glasses girl, who had been very silent all the way, spoke, "So, why didn't this invading Zerg force target the whiskey troops, but instead compete with another equally powerful Zerg for territory?" ”

Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders and said:

"The Zerg is a flood beast in the eyes of humans, so why don't we in the eyes of the Zerg? At least tooth-to-tooth, claw-to-claw hand-to-hand combat is more acceptable than being suddenly killed by something like an invisible shredded bullet or a terrifying cloudburst bomb, right? It is likely that this invading Zerg tribe has not seen the existence of humans, or has suffered a great loss at the hands of humans, so it was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years. The target was cautiously placed on the 'Black Tooth' tribe. ”

"But to be clear, the Blacktooth Tribe has been in contact with the Whiskey Force for a whole week! The two sides are only fifty kilometers apart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are 'close neighbors', so how can they not send sentries to spy on the enemy? And once you understand it, it will inevitably become a secondary target for the loser. ”

"Okay, speaking of which, everyone just need to be mentally prepared...... The next thing we face is likely to be the whisky base occupied by the dove! ”

After Qin Fen finished answering the glasses girl's question, there was a continuous silence all around. After a while, the Titan hummed and said:

"Keep moving, act when the opportunity arises."

The group silently retreated, returned to the vulture hovercar, and continued to drive towards the whiskey base. Half an hour later, the completed base finally came into view.

The base is small, located in a small valley, covering an area of several acres. In the distance, you can see a row of iconic thick chimneys that reach into the sky.

When they got closer, they realized that the silver-white metal gate had been twisted and deformed. The surface is covered with dents and soft scratches left by the erosion of the acid. The nearby ground was splattered with Zerg bodily fluids and human blood, all of which had dried up, but the smell of blood and gunsmoke still remained in the air, and the corpses were gone.

Not far from everyone, there were a few vulture hovercars parked in the corner, but they did not appear to be ambushed.

A gust of wind blew, curling an icy whimper swirling through the valley, adding to the eerie taste. It's like being in a deserted dead ghost.

Everyone couldn't help but be cautious and began their offensive journey.
