Chapter 534: Battle for the Battlefield II
This time, the Bug Nation army led by General Lydon is composed of four unit units: the Wanderers, the Self-Detonators, the Fortress Bugs, and the Corrupters. The role of these four classes is clear to Zero One under the introduction of Merlin and Tuxian. From what Merlin knew about Lydon, the tactics used by this violent Zerg general were almost reversed.
The first must be to use the Corruptor to change the environment of the Silent Continent, thus depriving the Tuku of a favorable geographical environment. Next, a mixed force of land walkers and self-detonators attacked the base camp in the highlands, killing the Tuku with the advantage of the Zerg army. Although the Tuku are not completely disadvantaged, at least there is only one slope connecting the high ground to the ground, which makes it impossible for the Zerg to rush up, otherwise this battle will not be fought.
The second is the large number of hot weapons that the Tuku clan has hoarded in advance, and these long-range weapons will play a very huge role in deterring the advancement of the Zerg. Zuihou is Merlin, Tuxian, and Zero three high-level. Especially in this kind of legion-style combat, both Zero's Alloy Heavy Sniper and his signature ability Death Critical Strike can play a big role, and they will be a sharp weapon for the Zero Reaper Army. In contrast, Merlin or Tuxian, who are more adept at heads-up, are better suited to deal with strongmen like the Zerg General.
But these advantages alone can't reverse the unfavorable situation for the Tuku family. First of all, the environment changed, and without the favorable environment for the Tuku, a guerrilla war was forced to turn into a positional war, and there is no doubt that the positional war was very disadvantageous for the Tuku because of the difference in numbers. If you want to change this, you have to get rid of the Corruptors first.
The problem is that the Tuku don't have the characters or weapons to cover almost the entire battlefield of the Silent Continent.
This is not an objective question that can be changed by just one person or two people, or by intelligence. Inside the stilt building, although the zero three people knew that eliminating the corrupt was a top priority, they couldn't come up with a haode countermeasure for a while. Walking back and forth in the room, Tu Xian seemed to think of something, and the patriarch suddenly said to himself, "Or can you use that?"
"Old thing, if you have any ideas, just say it, but it's not feasible for everyone to sum it up, don't talk to yourself there. Merlin snorted.
Tuxian smiled bitterly and said, "You and I are willing, I only think of the first half of this method, but the second half is not sure." ”
"What's the front part and the back part, you hurry up!"
Before coming to the map, the figure first pointed to a corner on the west side of the Silent Continent and said, "There is a natural crack here, and you can see flowing lava when you look through the crack. When we found it, we guessed that it might be a crater underneath. As we all know, the Silent Continent is the only place in the western tundra that is spring-like, thanks to the presence of several warm lakes. The temperature of the warm lakes comes from the hot molten slurry underground, and it is their heat rise that provides enough geothermal heat to otherwise have no environment like the Silent Continent. ”
"So there may be a volcano underneath the Silent Continent, and we all know that the continental plate changed after the cataclysm, which directly caused the change of the landscape. The Silent Continent is the result of this change, and I was thinking that if a certain amount of explosives were used, it might be possible to detonate the volcano underground. As you can imagine, after the cataclysm, the volcano that was originally located on the ground sank, but there was still a certain gap between the volcano and the ground, otherwise it would not have been hot gas but magma. In the event of an explosion in this void, the air will expand above the surface and directly lift the surface, so there is a high chance that the molten will erupt with the air flow and gush out of the surface. That way, you will be able to kill the Corruptor on a large scale. "But what I don't know is how big this crater is and how much lava will erupt." Although there is a certain gap between our camp and the ground, there is no need to worry about flooding the molten in an instant. But if there is too much molten in the eruption, then we are killing ourselves. And most importantly, who is going to detonate the volcano. ”
The difference between the camp and the ground is 50 meters, and given the length and width of the Silent Continent, it is almost impossible to flood the camp all at once. I'm afraid that the crater will open directly below the Silent Continent, and once it detonates, the volcano will erupt. Without the Zerg to attack, the Tuku themselves killed themselves.
Zero thought for a moment and then said: "The method said by the patriarch is not impossible, the extent of the volcanic lava eruption can be controlled by the equivalent of explosives, we only need to lure the lava to the ground and kill a large number of corrupters, so the degree of the eruption does not need to be too violent." As for the work of detonating the volcanic lava, leave it to me. ”
"No, this is a matter of my clan's existence, and it should be borne by me, the patriarch. Tu Xian shook his head.
Zero looked up and said, "After the lava detonates, if you can't get back to the high ground in time, the detonator will drown in the lava and die like those bugs." It's not that I underestimate the Tuku people's achievements in speed, but I think your speed advantage lies more in the two aspects of instant bursts and movement changes. Speaking of persistence, I think I should have an edge over the patriarch. What's more, the patriarch is the spiritual pillar of the entire Tuku clan, how can you easily risk your life. ”
Tu Xian immediately said that Zero was not bad. The Tuku clan uses a special muscle structure to burst out with terrifying speed in an instant, but it can't last. It is naturally beneficial to use it in battle, but it is not enough to maintain high-speed movement for a long time, and there is really no advantage in this regard, which is not as advantageous as the shadow wanderer of Zero. In addition to Zero's own sixth-order agility, the short-distance spatial shuttle of Shadow Jump is enough for Zero to deal with any unexpected event. Of course, this must be before the Silent Continent is eaten away by the Corruptors, otherwise without any plants that can provide shadow, Zero's Shadow Jump will not be able to be cast.
"Let's do it, when the molten mud floods the entire oasis, we will be trapped on the high ground, but the Zerg will not be able to attack for a while. If we want to attack, we have to wait for the lava to cool down, which will buy us some time. Zero looked up at the two of them and smiled, "Maybe, we'll have reinforcements." ”
Tu Xian was confused, but Merlin knew that when he was in the Tulash Mountains, Zero had placed a number of signal generators for his companions to follow. And if Merlin is not mistaken, there are three high-level and several advanced abilities among Zero's companions, and these are all valuable combat power!
The time of the operation was noon, and Zero simply drank a little water and sucked up a small half-tube of nutrients to count as having a meal. The carrying gear on his back had been removed and replaced with an explosives bag. The amount of explosives has been calculated in advance, and the magma that will be detonated is also within a controllable range. But this is wishful thinking after all, and no one knows what the situation is like underground, so Zero is ready for the worst.
Zero took a deep breath as the camp gate closed behind him. His eyes were like electricity, and he swept towards the ground below the ground. The vicinity of the Highlands was already crowded with Corruptors, large cockroach-like creatures silently but efficiently transforming the environment, devouring the coconut palms and grass they could see, and then expelling a yellow-green liquid from their abdomen. As soon as the liquid penetrated into the ground, the already soft ground immediately sank like butter, and then bubbled up on the surface.
The corrosive liquid was transforming the wetlands into a swamp-like environment, which was probably familiar to the Zerg, but fighting in this environment would make the Tuku Clan's combat power much less powerful. Eventually, these bugs may be able to corrupt even the high ground, and that will be the end of the day.
It may also be the end of oneself.
Zero suddenly realized that this was probably the most dangerous situation he had ever encountered in his life.
I think that in the past, no matter how bad the situation was, there would always be a companion next to me. Otherwise, the opponent is also a single strong man, not an opponent with a number of tens of thousands, as it is now. When the number of opponents reaches a magnitude, even Thor can only flee, let alone the wanderer Zero. But the problem now is that he can't escape.
Putting all the thoughts behind me, Zero's spirit keeps concentrating. His eyes gradually turned cold, and his gaze no longer had any expression, as cold as a machine. Only in this way can we accurately grasp every action and every bit of energy. He didn't want to make a mistake because he wasn't qualified to make a mistake. In this terrible situation of the Zerg army, Zero unconsciously touched the "micro-control" technique that Casirio said, but now he has not yet discovered it, and this skill can only be used freely.
Zero walked downhill, faster and faster, Zuihou almost disappeared into thin air, only to leave an intermittent afterimage on the ground from time to time. Keep your speed at a constant speed of 150 kilometers per hour, and infest the army of the Corrupted. As he got closer, his ears were filled with the sound of chewing, and the dense waves of sound were stuffed into his ears whether he wanted it or not. If you want to replace it with a less timid person, you can hear the sound of tens of thousands of strange insects gnawing at the same time, and you are afraid that your legs will be weak with fright. And Zero has converged all the emotions that human beings have, happiness, sadness, fear, etc. At the moment, he is just an efficient machine that performs tasks, but he will not stop because of the devouring sound of the corruptor.
Because he has become inhuman, not even hostile, Zero has not attracted the attention of the corruptor. It's just that some big cockroaches that are closer will bite him as a plant, but when the jaws are staggered, they only bite the air, and Zero is long gone.
The crack in the ground that Tuxian had spoken of was on the edge of a swamp west of the Silent Continent. Zero arrived a few minutes later, but when he leaned over a rock that stretched diagonally out of Xiangshang and looked ahead, he realized that it had become a battlefield.
The Mutants of the Silent Continent are battling the Corruptors, the Outsiders, who have accumulated at the edge of the swamp, using their stealth skills to approach the Corruptors, then spew ice silk to cocoon them and drop them into the swamp. The rest is done by the swamp, and the Corruptor is also a living creature and needs to breathe, so they will be drowned alive in the swamp.
The mud guards crashed directly into the army of the Corruptors, and these mutant beasts, which also used corrosive liquids as weapons, were defeated by a hundred enemies, and under the sweep of the iron fist, a dozen or so Corruptors would be smashed into thin mud. On top of that, there is also a wild thorn troll that also attacks the Corruptor's side, wielding thorns tangled in his arms. Under the strange power of the trolls, the two thorns were as sharp as knives, and the corrupters were cut open one by one wherever they passed.
It's just that there are too many Corruptors, and the number of Mutant Beasts in the Silent Continent is very limited. The hundred or so muddy guards gradually showed fatigue, the strong acid secreted by their bodies became thinner and thinner, and their physical strength also declined. Soon a mud guard entangled a dozen or so Corruptors, and under the strong biological acid secreted by the Corruptors, the guards gradually corroded a skeleton.
There are a few Yujian, and the remaining muddy guards can't support it for long. As for the hundreds of lurkers, they didn't have to live long, the corruptors basically didn't pay attention to their position, and the creatures were strong and spurted indiscriminately, and on such a dense battlefield, they didn't care about the enemy and me, and soon the lurkers lost their previous advantage.
Only the thorn troll was brave, but after seeing the mud guard and the lurker appear one-sided, the troll finally chose to flee. But far from the swamp, the Silent Continent is infested with a large number of Corruptors, and where can it escape. Even if he escaped from the oasis, there was still an army of Zerg outside, and it was impossible to escape the fate of being killed.
Death is only a matter of time.
Zero watched all this with no sadness or joy, and suddenly a saber appeared in his hand, and he didn't look at it and cut it out with his backhand. A corruptor who crawled nearby was immediately separated, but the headless body died instantly, still tossing on the ground, fighting with the life force of the cockroach.
The crack in the ground is on the edge of the battlefield, and in this situation, Zero has no way to approach it safely. He stood up from the rock, suddenly turned and ran in the opposite direction of the crack in the ground, his body pulling out pieces of afterimage in the air, and Zero quickly disappeared into the battlefield. He had an extra saber in his hand, and the two knives flew up, cutting the corruptor or other mutant beasts in two everywhere he passed.
In this case, the power of the automatic pistol is too low, and the endurance of the battleship gun is hard, but there are no two sabers to use it. Under the precise control of Zero's brain, the two sabers are covered in an energy force field, allowing them to always accurately submerge into the gaps between the Corruptor's carapaces, or into the muscle textures of other creatures. The blade entered the body, and the energy force field immediately impacted the target's body with a concussive technique, expanding the injury while also opening a convenient passage for the double blades.
So Zero almost touched the knife and left, without stopping, and soon stabbed deep into the battlefield like a dagger. His uninvited guest soon caught the attention of the Corruptor and the other mutants, and both sides rushed towards Zero. Zero smile, smile cold and inorganic. With a flip of both hands, the saber disappeared, and in its place were two high-powered grenades.
The next moment, two orange flames rose from the battlefield, followed by a huge explosion covering a radius of 100 meters!
