Chapter 26: The Harvest
The seventeenth fallen angel was suspended in the air, and Qin Lun's cold eyes scanned the battlefield below. After the Zerg base was destroyed by the Attack, the bugs scattered outside the base began to rush back to help.
It's a pity that without the support of the base, the weakness of the Zerg will be revealed. Most bugs are inherently less intelligent than humans, and their strength lies in their high level of organization and discipline.
In this case, the individual strength is already stronger than that of the Zerg, and the battlefield organization is completely superior to the opponent's soldiers, and they can often take advantage of the time difference to fight more and less, and strangle the remaining insects little by little.
When encircling and suppressing the remaining Zerg, the apostles actually found that this battle was different from the previous two battles. Perhaps because of the relationship between entering the guide mission area, killing the Zerg on the X-352 planet, each of which has hundreds of broken crystals, also makes the apostles work harder.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer insects coming back, Qin Lun finally stopped staying in the air and flew towards the Zerg base below. Although the Zerg base has been breached, no one has approached it yet.
The apostles led the Guise pilots to strangle the insects who came back, in fact, they also had the intention of testing the bug base, so as not to encounter an ambush again when they entered the base.
"Huo Biao will bring your team back, let's go to the Zerg base to have a look!" Qin Lun shouted at the murderous MT, and landed on the edge of the huge crater with Alex and the others.
Huo Biao, who received the order, was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Qin Lun would call Frank. Frank is Qin Lun's servant, and it is not a secret that he is in the patrol team, and most of the young man's slightly biased arrangements are seen by others.
However, there is nothing to be jealous of, it is just human nature, as long as Qin Lun has no selfishness in the distribution of interests. When the deputy head of the regiment first met, the pure and shy appearance that he disguised had long since faded in the minds of the apostles.
Except for the young and temperamental Bobby, Huo Biao, Bahrain, Robben Brothers, Bowei and others in the patrol team are all human spirits. With a drill, a line of fire reconnaissance, and now a surprise attack on the Zerg base, they have understood why the Lost Team would find an "outsider" to act as the deputy head of the Ranger team.
Perhaps Robin is more influential on the defensive front, but the way the apostle shows his strength is not fame, but a solid record of achievements.
In their respective teams, some of them are the leaders themselves, and some are talented elites. Since they are willing to participate in the patrol team, it means that they still have nostalgia for the orderly front and are unwilling to leave just like that.
Maybe they still had doubts about such a temporary team, but after quietly observing the tables of the two leaders, the doubts in their hearts were being dispelled. This victory came at the right time, and the current team of Rangers was truly kneaded, no longer the temporary team of elite individuals that it used to be.
Of course, except for Frank and Robin in the team, these people currently don't know that Qin Lun will often sell his teammates. Frank wouldn't speak, and Robin wouldn't talk too much about it, causing the team to lose cohesion.
Although Robin was threatened by Qin Lun to betray her teammates before, after that, when she calmed down, the smart beauty leader felt that it was just Qin Lun stimulating her in disguise.
In other mission worlds, Qin Lun's words are very likely to become reality, but in the gospel world, it is not likely. The biggest threat to them in this world is not the Zerg or Jannamer, but the Apostolic team pursued by the other two alliances.
It's just that the purpose of other teams is to show their strength, not only to subdue them, but also to win them over. Fighting will save hands in many cases, and there is no substantial threat to life, and Qin Lun will not necessarily sell his teammates.
At least in this mission world, the word "companion" is binding on Qin Lun. However, because of this, although Qin Lun was nominally contributing to the Order Alliance. In fact, Robin and even Kelly understand that the Lost Team owes the Big Five Killers a favor, or a big favor.
Glancing at Frank and seeing that there was no dissatisfaction in the hunchbacked servant's eyes, he immediately shrugged his shoulders and gathered with his crew to the side of the Seventeenth Fallen Angel. He felt that he was thinking too much, Frank had not changed classes, and he was already a second-order MT, and of course he had to be the first to enter the enemy base.
"Alex, stay here!" Qin Lun glanced at Huo Biao, and let the soldiers piloted by the Gisi Pilot Officer stay outside the Zerg base.
"Sir, be careful. Even if the Zerg base is not fully covered by the Attack, it is impossible to be completely destroyed by the Attack, and there must be remnants of bugs inside. If you run into too many enemies, be sure to call for reinforcements first! Vera reassured with concern.
"Got it!" Qin Lun smiled and nodded, his body changed again, and he turned into a shadow wind leopard and took the lead in rushing into the breach of the Zerg base.
"It's really a magical replacement ability, and it actually reflects the talent of the summoned beast on the master!" Looking at the giant cat that disappeared in front of him after a fluctuation, Huo Biao's eyes flashed, and he flashed into the Zerg base with a round shield.
Huo Biao couldn't see where Qin Lun was, but with the telepathy between the two, he could still feel that the young man was not far from him.
The Zerg breach they entered was not a normal entrance, but one of the cracks that had been torn open by the shelling. Stepping into the interior of the Zerg base, the first reaction of the two of them was heat, which was like a steamer.
Qin Lun quickly understood Huobiao's reminder and found that his stealth had lost its effect. The evaporation of biological tissues by the high heat caused the Black Panther Mecha to reveal a transparent body that flowed like water waves. The shadow talent of the Shadow Wind Leopard was actually cracked in this unique environment.
Seeing that the stealth was ineffective, Qin Lun reluctantly regained his human form, raised his chin, and motioned for the snickering MT to walk ahead.
The inner walls of the Zerg base showed a typical texture of the flesh, and due to the high radiation heat left over from the shelling, the muscle walls showed some signs of melting, and the wet and disgusting look.
The crack that Qin Lun and the others entered was above the base, and there was a huge space. From their vantage point, a charred crater appeared at the bottom of the base, and in some places there was a charred fire.
Through the information of the Zerg base that Guò had browsed on the Attack earlier, they were able to know that this pit was originally supposed to be the hatching pool of the Zerg base, and it was also the main structure.
Around the hatching pool, there are some huge biological caves, which are similar to human nurseries, which are used to cultivate all kinds of insects needed by the Zerg base.
In addition to this, there are some material storage rooms, mostly some animal and plant organisms. As for the way the insects are stored, it is naturally needless to say, even Qin Lun's appetite has decreased a lot after reading those projection materials.
The cities of the Zerg are so simple and crude, their social structure is different from that of humans, there are no hospitals, no schools, no hotels, no casinos, and the desire to survive and reproduce is always difficult to fill like a black hole.
If there are no natural predators, they will only maintain a minimum military strength, and all of them are based on the premise of breeding and expansion.
According to the information obtained by the Gies people on the original bug star in the Gies system, they found that a complete Zerg colony base was counted from the moment of arrival, and it only took about three star weeks to completely transform and rule a life star, of which the first week was still building the base shell.
It is only when the Zerg encounter a natural predator like Hismael or the Gies that the first sequence of their needs will change from breeding to defending against enemies. From this point of view, the Zerg are a purely defensive race, and what makes other life feel deadly threatened, that is, their fecundity.
The Zerg's ability to learn is terrifying, and when they encounter a race that is more advanced than themselves, once the war drags on, the enemy will find that the Zerg are able to evolve and simulate their unique technological weapons and defeat them in greater numbers.
Of course, this characteristic of the Zerg is not without natural enemies, at least the Hismailians who exist in spirits are their natural enemies, and the insects cannot simulate spirits, so they cannot copy the technology of the Hismails. This is the main reason why the Heathmails were able to keep the Zerg firmly in the corner of the galaxy's spiral arm in the first place.
"Patrol team, the members of your department have entered the Zerg base of Planet X-352, and they are regarded as completing the guidance mission 'Assist in occupying the X-352 base', and the personal task reward: 15,000 broken crystals, 100 huàn coupons, and 7 contribution points."
"Is this the completion of the bootstrap mission?" The apostles all over the battlefield, including Robin on the Attack, couldn't help but be stunned, recalling what Qin Lun had said, and they realized that this guidance task was really simple.
Originally, this task was not very difficult, and the team of inspectors was able to complete it alone. Now that the Zerg base has been shot by the main cannon of the Attack, it couldn't be simpler.
"It's done!" Robin breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed self-deprecatingly, and was stimulated by Qin Lun, the psychological burden of the beauty leader was heavier, she wanted to change herself, but how could the old habit change so well.
"It's just that the income is a little less!" Poppy crossed Erlang's legs on the control panel, pouted, and observed the battle situation from the planet's surface boredly.
It's just that he soon showed a hint of surprise, Qin Lun and Huo Biao, who entered the Zerg base, had a new harvest, and they found some huge insect eggs that still showed signs of life in the base. The so-called surprise is that the starry sky indicates that these eggs belong to treasures that can be carried out of the world and can be hatched into summoned beasts.
This discovery made the apostles cheer from the bottom of their hearts, these eggs could only hatch the lowest-level bugs, and they were high-level summoned beasts. In the gospel world, they are the lowest level of the Zerg, and if they are transferred to other mission worlds, they can ......
"Hint: Depending on the progress of the mission, the Ranger team triggers the competitive main quest two days in advance, extending the stay by two weeks......" Perhaps the stars were unhappy that they were too happy, and an important hint followed, the first content was not surprising, but the latter content made the apostles choke the cheers into their stomachs.
“…… This competitive main quest, according to current estimates, has a total of four apostle teams involved, of which the high-level members meet the minimum requirements for forming a three-person black iron team, and the final task evaluation will be automatically increased by two levels, based on the silver evaluation of the Chinese demon world! ”
