Chapter 157: Three Biological Forms
Shen Sen didn't expect what he said.
In just one escort operation, a team of bugs was encountered, and there was a fierce exchange of fire.
Fortunately, there were dozens of pioneer mechs in the escort team, as well as night owl gunships accompanying them in the air, all equipped with firepower enough to fight a small war of thousands of people in the blue star.
Thanks to this, most of the insect team was completely annihilated, leaving only a few intact corpses, which were taken by the escort team and the black elves to the edge of the Shulz Forest, which was also the base camp where Shen Sen was encamped and was constantly building military facilities.
Although under normal circumstances, leaving a living mouth would be more conducive to understanding and research, but for the unknown insect swarm, Shen Sen did not dare to bet on whether they had extraordinary means to transmit information, at present, in order to ensure the starting price, the dead insect is the best research object.
As soon as the escort team returned, Shen Sen saw with his own eyes the enemy he was about to face, a group of terrifying creatures with sturdy carapaces and wielding bone scythes.
There is no doubt that they are bugs.
Compared to the insects that can be trampled to death with one foot, they are taller, more dangerous, more crazy and terrifying in the Schulz Forest.
With its fuchsia shell, sharp mouthparts, and strange appearance, it seems that everything on its body is meant to kill.
After handing over the corpse to the researchers, Shen Sen immediately began to assemble a team of experts to analyze the video footage during the battle.
In the conference room, personnel from biology and troops silently watched the battle between the two sides on the big screen, and as time passed, their expressions began to gradually become awe-inspiring, and from time to time they recorded everything they observed with their pens.
After the video data was played, Shen Sen looked around and said in a deep voice:
"After reading it, let's talk about your respective opinions."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then Zhou Shan, the commander of the Second Mecha Legion, stood up.
"Leader, I'll come first!"
"Well, okay, you can talk about it first." Shen Sen nodded.
"Colleagues, as a soldier and a commander at the same time, I will stand on the military level to share my humble opinion, and I hope you will correct me more."
Zhou Shan projected the few images he had just taken in the air, and then pointed at them and said.
"According to my observations, the enemy troops, though they are not afraid of death, will not retreat or be afraid because of a large number of attrition. But they seem to lack coordination and strategy and tactics, lack effective command during the offensive process, and are like a group of miscellaneous soldiers who only know how to advance recklessly, without any flexibility.
Moreover, their attack methods are monolithic, and they are relatively backward, seemingly only having scythe-like weapons from a low range on their bodies.
If all the enemy forces are like this, no matter how many of them are, they will not pose much of a threat to us, and we can destroy them all with a little time. ”
After Zhou Shan greeted Shen Sen, he sat down.
Immediately after Zhou Shan spoke, Old Man Li from the Scientific Research Center spoke.
Compared to Zhou Shan, his expression was slightly more solemn.
"Leader, based on the information reflected in the video materials, my guess may be different from that of Captain Zhou."
"Oh, tell me what you think."
"I speculate that there may be more than one kind of creature in the enemy army, and that it may be only their vanguard that is fighting us this time, or even an insignificant cannon fodder for the other side.
Because if we look at their action instinct and behavioral logic, the opponent's attack and predation process is more like a manifestation of the lack of commander.
Of course, in the absence of evidence to back it up, these are just speculations, just listen to it. ”
After someone started, others also actively participated in the discussion.
In the end, after everyone's analysis and research, the military department decided that it was necessary to further collect intelligence and make a more accurate determination of the information of the swarm.
"Walking on the Stars"
The experts of the scientific research center also pointed out that the biological characteristics of the insect swarm during the attack were somewhat strange, and they needed to be studied before they could judge the situation of the other party.
Without fully understanding the other party, any action needs to be cautious and cautious, and it cannot be rash.
The collection of information about the swarm has become the most important thing at the moment.
Thinking of this, Shen Sen became more and more curious about the black elf clan who were the protagonists of this incident.
At this moment, the black elves were also very surprised and curious about what they had experienced for the rest of their lives.
A high-tech modern army of tens of thousands of people is an incomparably large number for Yao's Black Elf Clan.
Because all the black elves living in the Shulz Forest combined, I'm afraid that it is not more than half of this number.
When they arrived at the camp and saw the scene of the torrent of steel everywhere, several Black Elf elders who had lived for seven or eight hundred years began to wonder if they were old enough to be out of step with the times.
Hundreds of years of life have brought them not only the experience of dealing with all kinds of troubles, but also the mastery and understanding of a lot of knowledge about the world.
But just like the monsters that suddenly appeared in the Schulz Forest, they had never heard of such a mighty and terrifying army on the mainland.
Expelling monsters, if it were them, the black elves all agreed that the other party could do it successfully.
In the midst of such anxiety, several Black Elf elders who knew about the incident got the opportunity to meet Shen Sen.
Walking into the wide command car, several Black Elf elders only felt as if they had pressed a mountain on their bodies, and the surging spiritual energy was like a substantial ocean of energy, and the strong pressure made it difficult for them to move an inch.
Their innate sensitivity to magical abilities made them feel like they were facing a humanoid god even more powerful than the Yanlong when they saw the being in front of them.
Majestic and sacred, supreme and sublime, it seems that the sun in the cold universe, the moment you look at him, people can't help but respect and worship from the heart.
Is this the legendary dragon slayer warrior?
With such an extraordinary person, it is no wonder that he can defeat Yanlong and have such a powerful army.
Several old men suppressed the shock in their hearts, and hurriedly gave Shen Sen the etiquette that the elven clan would have when facing their most honorable person.
"Your Excellency, we are courteous here."
"Thank you for your kindness and kindness, your great kindness to the Black Elf Clan, we will never forget!"
"No need to be polite, we are not only here to save your black elf clan, but also for the stability and peace of the continent, and specially came to exterminate those monsters."
Shen Sen ignored the prompt information that appeared in his mind because he saw several black elf elves, and said with a frank smile.
In his consciousness, the data stream that kept emerging was lined up.
"Hint: Anomalous psionic fluctuations have been detected ahead!"
"System Database Start Search......
"The psionic target has been confirmed, and the relevant information has been matched!"
"Target 1: E-Class Psyker"
……
"Target 7: E-Class Psyker"
[Target Status: Excellent Psionic User...... Their unique psionic talents can make them masters of ingenuity...... Suspected descendants of the Aeldarin...... Beware of the temptation of sexual abuse!! 】
I have to say that the elf clan is better than the human race in terms of spiritual talent, and the seven elven elf elders, all of whom are E-level psionics.
If the Black Elves can be brought under their command and become a stable supply base for psionic talents, it will solve the shortage of psionics in one fell swoop, which is worth the trip.
Several Black Elf elders were a little overwhelmed when they heard Shen Sen's sincere explanation.
Maintaining peace and stability on the mainland is such a high-sounding phrase that they have heard many people say. But they understand that these words are used by those rulers to fool and deceive themselves, and they cannot be true.
However, when the existence in front of them said it lightly, they were surprised to find that what the other party seemed to say was true, without any false ingredients.
When he says so, he will do it!
There had never been a mortal human being who could convince and admire the Black Elves, who were born with such a keen sense of emotion, and now they were truly convinced by the leader who had saved them.
"It's just a gesture for you, but it's a kindness that we'll never forget."
The Black Elf Elf's words were earnest, and his attitude became more and more respectful.
"Alright, I'll take your thanks."
Shen Sen waved his hand and asked several Black Elf Elders to sit down, then called the recording staff and said straight to the point.
"Now that the situation is urgent, can you give me a detailed account of what happened after encountering the swarm during this time?"
"Yes, yes, of course."
Seeing that Shen Sen's attitude was so eager, several Black Elf elders did not hesitate.
One of them spoke, and the rest sometimes added a few words, slowly outlining in detail their experiences of encountering the swarm during this period of time, and the experience of several encounters with the other party.
Except for most of the people who didn't have nutrition, the only information that made Shen Sen feel important was that the army of the swarm did not have just one creature type, but several.
There are three types of teams where the Black Elves are out looking for food and have encounters and battles.
They all have very different appearances, the means of attack they use, and the methods they use.
There are two of the most numerous, one is the kind that the escort team has encountered, bugs with sickle-like weapons on their forelimbs, which belong to melee troops, although dangerous, but the elves who use bows and arrows are far away and can try to attack.
But the other is different, they are ranged attack units that are even more dangerous than the Elven Archers, not only are they numerous, but they also use weapons that seem to be more lethal than they seem.
This type of Zerg monster has a red and white body with a muscle-lined bony organ lined with sharp harpoon-like fangs.
More importantly, they appear to be alive in their strange weapon, and the "arrows" stored in them are some kind of creature with fangs.
When the weapon fires, a small, rampaging beetle creature will flick its flea-like legs to lunge forward.
The beetle will drain its life force in the next few seconds, frantically breaking through its armor, flesh and bones will be the first thing it sees along the way.
The beetle weapon shot from it can tear open the victim's arteries, causing them to bleed to death, and not only that, but the surface of the spike is covered with acid glands and poison sac tissue, which makes even a minor scratch fatal.
In addition, the biological beetles that are sometimes fired are a type of withered worm with a bulging chest cavity filled with an unstable, corrosive chemical mixture ignited by a charge, causing the target's armor and flesh to burn.
In addition, there is a very small existence, and the black elves have only seen each other from a distance in the center of the sea of insects.
The only clear information is that the other party has two human heights, hideous appearances, and is covered with sharp prismatic spikes, just by looking at its body, you already know that the other party has many times more powerful than the first two.
As the Black Elf Elder described more and more details, Shen Sen's mood became heavier and heavier.
Sure enough, no matter what kind of swarm it is, it's not a simple enemy.
