Chapter 213 Arms Race, Zerg Civil War, Fleet Appearance

On the night after the decisive battle in Wucheng, the Queen of Haicheng discovered the humans originally stationed by Taihu Lake through the reconnaissance of several green-winged insects. The defenders...

Seemed to disappear without a trace within a day.

Its first reaction was that the defenders had run out of ammunition and food and had to retreat and rest after the battle.

But then I thought about it, the other party had successfully killed Jiangbei Queen Mother, although it was in order to settle in Taihu Lake in advance, and it rushed on without mercy, and then got into the trap laid by humans.

So now the leader of Wucheng's army, the human being whom Haicheng Mother Queen hates, must have successfully entered the third stage through the success of the beheading plan.

Therefore, you have the qualifications to challenge yourself head-on.

Even if he is stationed by the lake alone, he can easily destroy hundreds of second-order insect swarms.

This may also be a trap carefully crafted for it, wanting to completely eliminate the Zerg under its command.

Being cautious, the Queen of Haicheng did not send troops to advance rashly, but continued to shrink her troops, planning to wait and see for a while.

The sudden change made it, which originally planned to retreat to the center of Haicheng City and rely on offshore biological resources to restore the vitality of the insect colony, choose to stay on the outskirts of Haicheng City, which was in a dilemma.

Originally, the Haicheng Empress could fly to longer distances for detailed searches through second-order wind-winged insects, but the green-winged insects not only had a short cruising range, but also had a limited search range.

But when he thought that the genetic assimilation warriors sent by the opponent would set up an ambush in the sky of Wucheng and use long-range artillery to launch a sneak attack on the wind-winged insects...

Haicheng Mother Queen gave up this idea. idea.

Now that it has lost more than half of its insect colony, it is no longer able to consume a lot of resources to cultivate new second-order wind-winged insects.

However, after the failure of the decisive battle in Wucheng, the Queen of Haicheng also learned lessons from humans and began to continue upgrading the samurai hunting insects at a very low cost.

The first is to add a pair of membrane wings from the green winged insect, allowing the samurai hunting insect to achieve short-distance flying raids, imitating human genetic warriors.

The second is armor enhancement.

The second-order giant jaw of a tiger spine insect is more than enough to arm ten samurai hunting insects. When faced with human fire blockade, the latter is obviously more cost-effective.

But the tiger spine insect also plays an irreplaceable role in tearing apart the front line and impacting the formation.

However, with the breakdown of Wucheng's defense line, there is no longer a need for tiger spine insects to charge into battle.

With such a large physique, he is simply a living target on the battlefield. He can easily be dealt with by concentrated fire, and the gain outweighs the loss.

In comparison, the Samurai Bug Hunter is smaller and more flexible, and can very well restrain the second-level awakening legion of humans.

The Samurai Bug Hunter with superimposed armor is equipped with four long knives made of the same material, and the equipment gap with the equipment of the second-level battle group has been narrowed.

Next time if the two sides come into close combat, the Queen of Haicheng is fully confident that she will rely on the equipment and numerical superiority of the new warrior insect hunters to crush the humans.

In this way, she silently upgraded the weapons and equipment of the samurai insect hunters. While observing the situation in the western area of ​​Wucheng, the Queen of Haicheng reorganized the armaments of her insect swarms to prepare for the next decisive battle of expansion.

However, in the early morning two days later, the Mother Queen controlled the green winged insects to fly to the second line of defense in the west of the city to investigate...

Linking the perspective of the green winged insects, they unexpectedly detected a group of uninvited guest!

A group of red beetles and black spine beetles suddenly appeared in the western district of Wucheng, which was already half in ruins.

And this group of insects, numbering in the tens of thousands, appeared in human territory in a swaggering manner, and began to clean up the battlefield and knock down broken houses and buildings.

While the Queen of Haicheng was surprised, she concentrated on controlling the green-winged insect to slow down its flight speed and stop on a mostly intact residential building.

Then the green winged insect's olfactory organ captured the pheromones that filled the air.

It is identifying the groups to which these bugs belong.

Although the Zerg races under different queen mothers are genetically similar, they emit different smelling pheromones due to differences in their underground mother nests.

This is closely related to the genes of the mother queen, just like the primitive insects, ant colonies and bee colonies on the Blue Star.

There will also be competition, friction, and confrontation between different ethnic groups, and the same is true in this fourth-level promotion competition for the global queen.

If the alliance is not concluded in advance, the Zerg individuals under the Queen Mother will naturally be hostile.

So now a green-winged insect is hiding on the edge of the eaves, quietly investigating this group of insects of unknown origin.

And through the identification of pheromones, the Queen of Haicheng quickly smelled a familiar smell.

This group of low-level bugs exudes the aura of Jiangbei Mother Queen, which is exactly the same as the smell brought back by the Zerg transport team he sent to Jiangbei.

But the problem is that the idiot who formed an alliance with him has been confirmed to have died in the hands of humans, and his soul and body have naturally disappeared...

Without the mother queen, this group of low-class people have become ownerless insects. Why did the insect swarm, which was supposed to be wandering aimlessly in Jiangbei, suddenly appear in downtown Wucheng?

Or in the dominion of human beings?

And they move in an orderly manner, not like they have lost their guidance at all.

Could it be that a certain human awakened spiritual power used superpowers to control these insects?

In order to facilitate the control of the Mother Queen, the spiritual attributes of the lower Zerg have been castrated, and the genetic sequences related to spiritual power have been sealed and cannot be activated.

So the mental abilities of mind and thought control can be directly controlled through the invasion of mental power.

But the Queen Mother of Haicheng soon rejected this speculation, because in addition to the low-level insect swarms cleaning the battlefield, dozens of second-level tiger spine insects appeared not far away!

Being able to control such a large swarm of insects, spread over dozens of square kilometers, requires at least the mental power of the early third level, and it is impossible for humans to release such a large and sophisticated swarm before killing the high-level insect swarms. Psychic powers.

So there is only one possibility left...

That is, a certain mother queen collected these ownerless insects and then drove them into Taihu Lake. At the same time, she defined a territory on the lakeside to protect herself.

If the truth is like this, doesn't it mean that the Wucheng defenders really evacuated! ?

In an instant, the Queen of Haicheng realized that she had missed the best opportunity to take over Taihu Lake!

But it’s not too late!

As long as the opponent has not been promoted to the mid-level third level, you still have a chance to make a comeback!

So he immediately controlled the green-winged insects to sneak back quietly to avoid being discovered by the group of insects that were digging underground nests.

At the same time, the second-level worms underground in Haicheng and the low-level black spine worm army were mobilized to rush to the battlefield in the west of the city.

When the mighty insect swarm crossed the suburbs and entered the urban area of ​​Wucheng City, they immediately encountered a fierce counterattack by the insect swarm here.

At this moment, Chi Yi is standing on the roof of the teaching building where the university town camp was before, controlling tens of thousands of low-level insect swarms under his command to block the invasion of the Haicheng Zerg.

In fact, she hid very well in the past two days, but this hiding will not last long. The Queen of Haicheng has been sending green-winged insects to test.

Tens of thousands of insects hide in the corners of the ruins and will be exposed sooner or later.

So taking advantage of Lin Feng’s promise to come today, it’s better to take the initiative to seduce him and let the Queen of Haicheng launch an attack.

At this moment, the battle between the Zergs is more bloody than attacking humans. Both sides are fighting in close quarters. From the beginning of the collision, it is a life-and-death fight.

Even though the Haicheng Zerg suffered severe injuries in the previous decisive battle, the strength of the remaining Zerg swarm still far exceeded the defeated group of remnants collected by Xie Yi.

Comparing the size of the insect swarms between the two sides, the low-level insect swarms were one to three, while in terms of the second-level zerg, the Haicheng zerg had a gap of five times.

The 20,000 black spine worms controlled by Xie Yi were soon overwhelmed by the black worm tide that poured in like a tsunami from outside the second line of defense. As many as 60,000 black spine worms entered the west of the city.

On this battlefield like a meat grinder, hundreds of tiger spine insects then appeared, destroying the remaining walls of the second line of defense to create more openings for attack. Countless black spine worms came over from these gaps, like tigers entering a sheep pen, forming a huge fence from north to south, outflanking the low-level insect swarms under the command of the cockroaches.

Because both sides of this kind of battle are Zerg, as long as they can win, the winner takes all, whether it is the life energy obtained by killing the opponent, or the life energy collected from cleaning up the battlefield at the end. Earth insect corpses can make the winning side soar in strength.

So after the Queen of Haicheng confirmed that the enemy was the Zerg, she launched an all-out attack without sparing any effort.

It is very aware of the current situation. Only by seizing the fish biomass of Taihu Lake and seizing aquatic biological resources as soon as possible can it make up for its previous losses and return to the first sequence of this chicken-eating competition.

Otherwise the enemy will advance and we will retreat...

One step back means retreating step by step.

So the swarm of low-level insects in the vast sea did not last long. When hundreds of second-level tiger spine insects appeared, they stepped on the black spine insects and joined the battle, and they were soon torn apart. The constantly pulling battle lines...

They rode as many as a thousand, creating gaps in the front line, just like the heavy cavalry between the two armies in ancient times, and they seemed to be in an insect-free state for a while.

Looking at the retreating battle front and the slight tendency of collapse, Zhiyi frowned slightly. The time was now at 7:30 in the morning...

There were only more than 150 Zhiyi left in his hands. The second-level tiger spine insect can dominate the battlefield.

Once these are completely consumed and Lin Feng has not yet arrived at the battlefield...

It means that Zhiyi must mobilize his own insect swarm ambushing in the water to join the battle. .

In this way, when Lin Feng comes, he will have to wipe out the two Zerg groups that are already fighting together.

This was not the ending she wanted.

Zhiyi is very aware of Lin Feng's special ability, which can rob the biological activity of Zerg corpses, making them lose their value for secondary use.

So the best plan is to use up the swarms of insects collected in hand, and then use Lin Feng's Salvation Army to repel the Zerg offensive in Haicheng. After the humans have cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated, they can then pick up the corpses. Can.

In this way, not only does Chi Yi not waste any of his own soldiers, but he can also obtain double the original biomass resources, build a biological nest directly on the spot, and carry out recycling and reproduction.

At the same time, we will also use Lin Feng’s hand to destroy the remaining insect swarms under the Queen of Haicheng, achieving the goal of killing two birds with one stone!

From now on, we can firmly control the biological resources of the entire Taihu Lake and half of Jiangnan Prefecture.

In less than half a month, you will be able to advance all the way to the middle stage of the third level. At that time, the Queen of Haicheng will be nothing more than a meal on the plate and meat in your mouth...

A stepping stone to the late stage of the third level. That’s it!

Zhiyi's plan is perfect, and the depth of the calculation has penetrated the true meaning of human intrigues for thousands of years.

The only step left is whether Lin Feng can reach the battlefield in time before the swarm of insects is consumed.

After all, the main body is only in the early stage of the third level. In addition, in order to take a detour to enter Taihu Lake and encounter Lin Feng's robbery in the early stage, the scale of the Zerg under his command is far less than that of the Haicheng Queen, who is in the middle stage of the third level.

Even if combined with the remnants of Jiangbei that were collected, there are not as many as the 60,000 black spine worms and the 820-order tiger spine worms at the moment.

Not to mention that the Queen of Haicheng also controls these new second-level Zerg races such as Pulse War Scorpions, Tank Flame Beetles, and Samurai Hunter Insects, especially the last Samurai Hunter Insects. If they join this battle, , simply dimensionality reduction and crushing...

A genetic warrior comparable to humans.

So at this moment, the Queen of Haicheng is advancing. In addition to testing the reality of the enemy Zerg, she also wants to use this battle to improve the strength of her Zerg swarm.

Anyway, victory is guaranteed, and the insect corpses will eventually be collected into the biological mother nest and rebuilt. It is better to take this opportunity to train a batch of late-stage insect races to make up for the loss of first- and second-level cutting-edge power in the decisive battle in Wucheng.

Haicheng Empress, who had this idea, obviously did not consider the possibility that humans would fight back. In her cognitive logic, even if her side suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle at Wucheng, the human defenders would still suffer the same fate. Approaching defeat...

If it weren't for the last batch of second-level awakeners who returned to support, especially the leader, the struggling fleet would not have been able to continue to hold on.

And the human garrison base camp behind the second line of defense in the western district of Wucheng was also attacked by troops sent by the Queen of Haicheng...

Until Lin Feng appeared, the attack strategy of the Queen of Haicheng and The advantages on the battlefield are all impeccable.

Just as it was sure of victory at this moment, it pressed down on a total of four hundred second-level tiger spine insects, tearing apart the front line formed by the lower-level bugs in a crushing posture, and kept pushing towards the lakeside.

Zhiyi sent out the remaining 150 or so second-order tiger spine worms on hand to meet the enemy's attack.

The tiger spine insects, all over 20 meters in size, erupted with tens of tons of collision force. The giant jaws of both sides were crossed and clamped together, sparking dazzling sparks.

However, the Haicheng Zerg, whose number is nearly three times more than that of the defenders, relies on their numerical advantage to engage in two-on-one or even three-on-one fights with more and less, and the free members can sneak attack on the stalemate opponent, using The ten-meter-long giant jaw crushes the enemy's limbs, back armor and torso...

One-sided dismemberments like this are happening constantly.

Fortunately, Chi Yi's position was closer to the battlefield. Although her mental attributes were far inferior to those of the Haicheng Empress in the middle of the third level, her control over the insect swarms was far superior to her opponent's.

Distance is an important factor that affects the strength of spiritual power, otherwise the Zerg Mother Queen would not be so difficult to kill.

At this moment, Chiyi fully utilized the guerrilla strategy he learned from Lin Feng. He first used a hundred second-order tiger spine worms to hold back the opponent's attacking force, and then controlled the remaining fifty tiger spines. The insects were divided into ten small teams, with a numerical advantage of five in each team, to attack the scattered enemies.

As long as you can kill faster than the opponent, you can evacuate before being surrounded and continue to look for the next target.

Of course, to be able to do this kind of micro-operation, you must have a real-time view of the entire map.

And Zhi Yi, standing on the top of the tall building, happened to have it.

But the absolute numerical superiority of the Haicheng Zerg cannot be completely eliminated by guerrilla warfare.

As the Queen of Haicheng discovered that the situation was not right, she began to send the samurai hunting insects hidden behind the second line of defense to the battlefield to pursue...

Chi Yi's delaying strategy, in the samurai hunting During the encirclement and suppression of the remaining tiger spine insects, the insect gradually became ineffective.

Until more than forty minutes later...

The last group of five tiger spine insects died surrounded by fifteen samurai hunting insects, and the situation on the field began to collapse one-sidedly.

A large number of black spine worms were directly made into dumplings, and were trapped under the strangulation of the Haicheng Zerg.

Haicheng Mother Queen has no intention of letting them go, and is not even willing to seize their mental control and use them for her own use. Instead, she plans to use their death to pave the way for the advancement of her Zerg tribe.

Zhi Yi, knowing that he had no way to save his life, immediately released control of the tens of thousands of remaining black spine worms and concentrated on the swarm of insects on the lake shore behind him.

This is her last fortune.

The black spine insect swarm on the field is about to completely die out, and the entire western district of Wucheng, nearly a hundred square kilometers, is covered with black and yellow insect corpses...

The Queen of Haicheng has also commanded the tiger spine in the front row. Insects and samurai hunting insects stepped into the university town camp and attacked the shore of Taihu Lake on the edge...

Just listen to the sound of a row of thundering shelling!

Coming from a distance with a sharp roar through the air!

Zhiyi, who was sitting on the red beetle and preparing to escape, suddenly looked back...

The flames and debris ignited by the violent explosion behind her, the impact waves blew her long hair, and the pupils in her eyes reflected a row of super fleets that appeared on the distant horizon

!

However, just as Chrysalis was stunned for a moment, a samurai insect hunter who was tracking her flapping its membrane wings on its back flew into the air...

Lifting up four sickles, it went straight Attack her!
