Chapter 724: Feint
An Andula worm is wandering down the corridor leading to the living quarters.
The row of compound eyes on the head flickered in complex rules, and if you were familiar with the Andula worm, you would tell that the worm was in a state of extreme hunger. In fact, this is the case with most Andula worms.
Food has become more and more difficult to find, and almost all of what can be eaten in the base has been eaten by them, except for the Zogna people who are still stuck in the motor room, it can be said that there is not much food in the base anymore. As a result, some Andula worms have left the base at the behest of the queen and are living in an underground space outside the base. There are also a number of underground rats, meaning that those lucky enough to leave the base will not be short of food.
In fact, there are at least two paths for the Andula worm to take if the queen wants to.
The first is the Zogna who attacked the motor room, with their number of less than a hundred, there is simply not enough for the Andura worm to fight for a while. But the queen didn't do it, as if for it, the Zogg man was one of the few pastimes and entertainments, and it didn't want to break the toy so quickly.
The second is to leave through the emergency passage from the living area to the surface, even if the emergency passage does not allow the queen's huge body to pass through. But the Andula Worm could have created a suitable passage for it, but the Queen had no intention of leaving the base, as if the dark and damp nest was the most comfortable place in the world.
In the absence of food, the guards of the Andula Worm have begun to catch the adults for the insects to eat, and the selected Andula Worms will not resist, but regard them as the highest honor. They are born in the queen of worms, and they can become part of the queen worms, which is their most hode home. It's just that they don't understand that the race doesn't have to be like this, but the insect queen has no intention of changing the status quo.
The Andullah Worm Queen is the most intelligent life in the entire race, and even ordinary adults have thought of this, so how could the Worm Queen not think of it. It's just that the Andula Worm is absolutely loyal to the Queen of the Worm, even if the Queen eats all the races, as long as it doesn't give an order, the Andula Worm will continue to survive like this until the entire tribe is left with the Queen of the Worm.
The Andula worm wandering the hallway was no exception, holding on to its post, only occasionally fidgeting to make a series of sparks on the metal wall with its sharp tip arthropod, leaving a scratch. And traces like this can be seen everywhere on the nearby walls.
At this point, the Andula worm suddenly stops all movement. Just in front of its line of sight, a figure appeared around the corner of the hallway. It seems that it is the Zogna, and the Andulla Worm will not admit it, because the survivors of these bases naturally feed on their brain crystals, and their bodies have undergone abnormal changes, and their abilities have also been greatly improved. Yet the Andula Worm remembers their scent, and the smell of these Zogna is both annoying and enjoyable.
I hate it because the Zog people actually devoured their brain crystals to evolve, which is tantamount to robbing them of their evolutionary results. I like it, but the word Zogna is synonymous with food.
Around the corner of the hallway, a Zog-Na man walked over, visibly stunned at the sight of the Andula Worm, and shrank back in a panic. If the bug could laugh, now the adult is undoubtedly snickering. It's clear that this confused human has broken into a place where he shouldn't be. The Queen of Worms demarcates an area of the base where the swarm can be hunted and killed at will if the Zogna intrude.
If they are not in this area, the Andula Worm is not allowed to attack these survivors.
Therefore, when he saw this Zogna, the adult compound eyes flashed with excitement. It slid its limbs as fast as it could, climbed up the wall and quickly came around the corner. The Andula Worm didn't care if there was an ambush around the corner, and when it thought that a Zog man couldn't make any waves, it could only be its belly.
But when it turned sharply, it was not Zorg's man who saw it, but a cold light that slashed towards its head!
The Andula worm immediately nails its arthropods into the wall to pull its body. But its body was too big, and its crawling speed was too fast to stop its shape, as if it was automatically sent to the door, and the Andula worm met its head to the cold light in front of it. The gift in its eyes split in two, and then it saw clearly, and at some point the Zog man had changed one.
It was a strong man with short fiery red hair, and he held in his hand a strange weapon that had been haphazardly welded together with a throat and sharpened long pieces of steel, and even had an iron chain wrapped around it, and I don't know what it did. It's just that the Andula worm has no time to study, and when it is not completely dead, its compound eyes flash rapidly. There was no sound, but Froman, who was familiar with them, changed his face and the bug was alerting.
He immediately yelled: "Rush forward, the bugs already know we're coming!"
Behind him, one by one, Zog's men swept past Froman with weapons in hand. These men had a wide variety of weapons in their hands, ranging from machine guns to iron rods, and more crude weapons that were welded by themselves like Fromman. But these weapons are made according to their own usage habits, and they are much more powerful than those weapons produced on the assembly line.
Zero also mixed in with the group of Zognes, and in order not to reveal his body, which was very different from that of Zogna, Zero was draped in a wide robe that Froman had picked up somewhere, and he also covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. Without scrutinizing closely, it's hard to see the difference between him and Zog. In this feint, in order not to reveal his strength, Zero controlled his energy level at around the seventh order, and also used two pistols as his own weapons.
As the Zogs poured into the hallway, the Andula worm kept pouring in at the end of the hallway, and a fierce battle broke out in the hallway. The corridor is actually not small, but the Andula worms are too large to move around and cannot swim up in them. This provided an excellent fighting ground for the Zogna, and under Fromman's orders, men armed with machine guns and other related equipment attacked the swarm from a distance in a concentrated fire attack. If a bug approaches, it is up to someone like Froman who specializes in melee combat to fend off and kill him.
In the long battle with the Andura Worm, the Zogna have long accumulated a set of experience in killing insects. Froman himself wields his special machete, which can easily kill an adult worm. And the likes of Jona and Ifei attack in a coordinated way. Often, it is the nimble person who acts as the bait, and then the person who is good at personal attack takes the opportunity to attack the bug.
Such cooperation may seem simple, but it requires tacit understanding and trust, otherwise both parties will be in danger.
As the battle heats up, both the Bugs and the Zognas are red-eyed, and as time goes on, the Zog's side begins to see casualties. The warriors who were still culling one moment were thrown into the swarm by the tentacles the next moment, and they would see the blood pillars gushing out from behind, screaming again and again. When seven or eight people fell, Zero gestured to Froman.
Froman understood and yelled, "Retreat!
He himself rushed forward, and with a thousand horses, he waved the strange knife in his hand and slashed horizontally, temporarily stopping the insects in front of him. With Froman as a shield, the other Zogs were given a chance to retreat, while Jona and Ife stayed, one on Froman left and one on the right, fending off the other two advantages.
At this time, Zero crossed the crowd and attacked the Andula worm with two pistols as if he had gone crazy. A bug pounced and hit Zero, and Zero relaxed and let it crash into the wall, and the bug immediately flew with its tentacles and ejected. Pulling out an afterimage and piercing towards Zero, Zero quietly lowered his body slightly, allowing the tentacles to stick to the less important positions.
The tentacles sank into Zero's body, and lightning flashed out, bringing out a cloud of blood mist. In the induction of the Andulla worm, the breath of life and energy of zero plummeted, and Zuihou returned to zero. With all the vital signs, the "corpse" also fell to the ground.
"What a crazy guy. Seeing that there was still blood flowing from under Zero, Froman made a gesture and led Jona and the others to retreat after a few wild attacks.
As previously intended, they will retreat to Experiment A. The backup power has been allocated to that area and prioritized. Experiment A is now able to operate as usual, but in less than ten hours.
This time, before the action, Froman was honest with all the Zogna. After all, it was a matter of risking one's own life, and even if Froman was the leader, he was not willing to forcibly deprive them of their will. In Froman's words, even if you want to die, you have to make everyone die clearly.
Originally, Zero was worried that Zog was unwilling to carry out such a crazy jihua, but he still underestimated these people. The Zognes had been trapped in the underground base for too long, and the yearning for freedom and light had allowed them to pass this Jihua unanimously, and the feint had to proceed smoothly.
Now that the first step of Zero has been completed, the next step is the hardest part of the whole Jihua. Whether it's facing Zero alone, or the Zogna who has to resist the Andulla Worm's counterattack in Experiment A, the risks they take are almost identical.
"Success, Zero!" Froman growled, and walked away.
Naturally, the Andula Worm would not let go of these creatures who dared to invade their domain, so the swarm of insects in the passage clung to the tail of the Zog-Na and left. For a moment, the passage fell silent. With his eyes closed, Zero used the micro-controlled jishu to reduce his life characteristics to an imperceptible level, but the five senses were still there. Then I heard the sound of insect wings flapping, and then I was caught by something and walked off the ground.
The thing was lightly pinned under his abdomen, the tip of which was already in the flesh, and a substance was secreting from the thing. Zero quickly intercepted the substance, and at first thought it was a toxin or something, but after a little analysis, it was found that the substance was similar to something like adrenaline. When they are injected into the body, even the corpse does not decay so quickly.
Zero suddenly realized that these bugs were doing the work of keeping them fresh.
