Chapter 21: The Encirclement
Chapter 21 Heavy Siege
Just when Wu Chun and the others accompanied Jim Carrey, the protagonist of the plot, to the action of the swarm lair, Meng Qingwen sent a very important news, that is, the star spirit will attack the swarm this evening, and the base of the attack is the base that Wu Chun will invade.
After separating from Wu Chun and them, Meng Qingwen and Zimeng, who joined the Star Spirit side, quickly blended into the Star Spirit. But their identity is a little ridiculous, what comes from the Savior, in order to help the great star spirits against the abominable humans and primitive bugs. Wu Chun really wanted to ask him, didn't the star spirit who negotiated with him ask, why do you look so human?
They had already participated in a tentative attack on another human base today, and this battle surprised Meng Qingwen, who said that both the Star Spirit and the Human were very powerful, and even a powerful class like the Dark Templar had the power to fight even against the Chosen One, because here the Chosen One would definitely face enemies several times or even dozens of times their own. In general, the enemies of this world may not be as capable as the gods of the God of War world, but appearing in groups is even more tricky than dealing with those gods.
However, Wu Chun didn't care too much, he had already made a temptation when he rescued Jim, and he didn't feel how strong the enemy was. However, the Star Spirit is going to attack here in the evening, which is not good news.
After thinking about it, Wu Chun asked Meng Qingwen to use his identity to delay the time for the Star Spirit to attack here as much as possible, after all, this hidden mission has now become a punishment, and Wu Chun doesn't want to make any accidents. Jim was right to set his action for the day, or he might have been in ruins by the time he came at night. Many of them are nocturnal, and their movements are no different from those of the day and night, and they are even more dangerous at night. There is still half a day before the evening, and in Wu Chun's opinion, it is enough. And this mission is just for Jim to meet the Queen of Blades, which is not complicated.
Only this time, Wu Chun's judgment was wrong. Even from the beginning, Wu Chun was a little overconfident, and he amplified this confidence in the process of rescuing Jim. In the process of rescuing Jim, they had only seen a few classes, and their preconceived notions led them to think that even if the other classes were strong, they would not be exaggerating.
......
Deep in the dense forest, outside the insect swarm base, the vigilance of the Zerg here has increased significantly, groups of three or five jumping insects are irregularly walking through the dense forest, their size is similar to that of adult wolves, but the way of movement is like a rabbit jumping and jumping, their dark back not only has a thick armor, but also two pairs of transparent wings under it, just like some kind of insect can fly a short distance at a critical moment, which is enough to give them an advantage in climbing mountains and mountains.
These jumping insects are large in number in the swarm, but their status is very low, because their combat effectiveness is quite low in the Zerg, and they can only be ranked at the bottom, which can be regarded as cannon fodder troops, and the resources required to evolve them are quite small.
A patrol of five hoppers roamed the depths of the forest, their fierce little eyes squirming around vigilantly, screaming at an intruder and pounced on each other, no matter how powerful. For example, a certain unlucky snake-like creature has just crawled from the soil to the ground when a jumping insect pounces on it and tears it to pieces in an instant.
At this moment, a pink mango flew without warning, and nailed it to the door of the jumping worm with unmistakable accuracy, and when the jumping worm fell in response, it was clear that it was a sharp arrow, a sharp arrow shot by a peach.
When their companions are attacked, but the enemy doesn't know where they are, the other jumping insects instinctively want to hissed to notify their companions, but the next moment they can't make any sound. Gao Chuan, Tifa, Wu Chun and the fat man directly killed the jumping insects one by one, no matter the movement and body shape, they were very secretive, and they didn't even make any movement.
The threat was lifted, and Jim and the others walked out from behind a large tree. Finley gave Wu Chun a thumbs up and said, "I have to admit that if I were ten years younger, I would definitely adore you very much!"
"Why?" asked Hong Yinbao.
"Because I'm a big fan of Superman!" said Finley, lighting a cigar.
"Alright, now is not the time for small talk, it's full of bugs, let's move on, turn right......" Jim, who was in a hurry, walked to the right first. The stronger Wu Chun looked, the more relieved he was. Different from when they first set off, Wu Chun and they quietly solved several batches of patrolling insects along the way, and their strange abilities and swift skills made Jim even more determined that this operation would be successful.
The group moved on, and at the forefront was the most experienced Jim, who was the most experienced in the fight against bugs. He walked lightly, sometimes sniffing the ground and sometimes checking the roots, often to detect any bugs passing by in advance.
Once there are traces of bug infestation, Jim will use the walkie-talkie to notify Wu Chun, and then the evil forces will quietly deal with it, just like dealing with the few jumping insects just now. Of course, the walkie-talkie of the human forces is provided by Jim for free, and even Wu Chun is interested in this thing, it is said that as long as there is no special shield on this planet, it can maintain communication, and the technology content is very high. It is worth mentioning that after seeing Tifa Xueyi's skills, Finley is not teasing nonsense, he doesn't want to die in vain.
Suddenly, Jim, who was walking in front of him, stopped and lay down on the spot, and motioned for the others to lie down as well. As soon as everyone did so, they felt the ground shake and a rustling sound. Soon, about a dozen meters ahead, a straight line rolled out of the ground and passed in front of everyone, as if something was moving fast in the soil.
It wasn't until the vibration disappeared that Jim turned around and whispered: "It's the pit bugs, they can transfer the bugs over long distances, usually the bugs will only send the pit bugs when attacking or defending the sub-base, maybe they plan to attack somewhere now, they should just pass by." ”
"I don't think so!" Wu Chun frowned, and he pointed behind Jim.
"What!" Turning around, Jim's face changed suddenly, and more than ten meters in front of them, a huge mouth stretched out from the ground, the diameter of the giant mouth was ten meters, at least, and there were several huge fangs in it.
That's exactly what Jim just said about the pit worm. In the world of StarCraft 2, it's more appropriate to say that the Tunnel Worm is not so much a combat unit as a functional building.
Tunnel worms evolved from insect tunnels, which are subterranean tissue structures covered by fungus blankets. Tunnel worms live in a nest-like structure called a network of tunnels. Tunnel bugs can move freely within the tunnel network to any area covered by the Zerg fungus blanket before exiting the ground, digging a passage under the battlefield on the way. This giant creature can stretch itself to incredible lengths, creating passages from its own flesh. Insects can enter the tunnel through the head or network of tunnels of guò tunnel worms, and travel through them at rapid speed by the peristalsis and chemical irritants of the tunnels.
To put it simply, as long as there is a fungus blanket, this guy can form a portal that can only be teleported, but this portal can only be passed by insects. And now, strange insects began to appear in the huge mouth.
"Damn, we've been discovered, we don't know what's going to happen inside, everyone spread out for cover!" Jim immediately shouted to alert the group.
Jim's men reacted quickly and were well-trained, quickly splitting into two sides and hiding behind trees. Wu Chun and the others also scattered to dodge, and in the final turn of the moment, Wu Chun found that the first thing that appeared from the mouth of the tunnel worm was a strange insect like a huge spider, which was the lurker who made people change color.
One by one, the lurkers crawled out of the maws, and the first thing they did was to take a few steps in different directions before quickly burrowing into the ground, enclosing the giant mouth of the pit worm in the middle, apparently protecting the pit worm.
Wu Chun rushed to the back of the tree and immediately reminded loudly: "Jim be careful, he is a lurker, don't reveal his location." ”
Jim reached out from behind the tree and gestured in understanding. Of course, he knew the nature of the lurkers, and if he didn't leak into their field of vision, he wouldn't be dangerous even if he was within range of their attacks. If it's just a lurker, Jim isn't too worried, he has a way to sneak through Guò without being detected. However, when Jim slowly stretched out his head and glanced at it again, he finally realized that the enemy must have completely discovered their tracks.
As the first lurkers appeared, then bursting insects, stinging snakes, cockroaches, and even hosts began to emerge from the giant mouth, and they immediately formed a formation to completely encircle the dense forest. A large number of cockroaches are at the front as cannon fodder, behind them are a handful of stinging snakes, and then there are blasting insects that are constantly rolling on the ground. The host is at the back of the formation, which is a very common Zerg attack formation.
If that were the case, Jim might not despair, for when a worm finally emerged from the mouth of the tunnel worm, the sunlight in the sky seemed to be obscured, and a large number of wyverns had flown over the area, mixed with a handful of Euglenoids and Corruptors.
It's not just the explosion insects that are causing headaches, but the host is a lurker. Stinging snakes are very similar to giant cobras with claws, their weapons are not only claws, but the most powerful thing is the corrosive acid in their bodies, which can corrupt armor in a very short time, and Jim can still remember the tragic death of that cute medical soldier beauty in the battle not long ago, it was the corrosion to death.
Although the acid of the cockroaches is very corrosive, their numbers have formed a scale, and Jim knows very well that if these cockroaches spray at him one by one, he is afraid that he will not even have the scum left. However, this was not the only thing that made him despair, the real threat came from the air.
Wyverns are so mobile that they look like scorpion tails with a pair of wings. When fighting, they will spew a blade worm from their tail to strike enemies in the air and on the ground. The Bladeworm is a violent symbiote that quickly splits several pieces and sputters at enemies.
At this moment, the number of flying dragons in the sky above his head is at least hundreds, and the total number of insects on the ground is initially estimated to be thousands, even if Jim transfers the main force over, it will be difficult to win, and now they are only thirteen, so Jim is completely desperate.
