Chapter 91 Intercepting the Right Helical Stone Mother Nest
  Under the full attack of the fearless soldiers, soon, the last wave of troops of the Straight-Helix Stone Nest Group was finally lost. This time, no new large-scale signals were transmitted from the echolocation system.

This means that the strength of the Straight Helical Stone Nest Group is finally insufficient. When the shell of the last Carrier Corner Stone is crushed by the Fearless Soldier, and the shells of the last few self-destructing Horn Stones explode, this battle begins around the corpse of the Fearless Soldier. The battle is finally over.

At the rear of the battlefield, the floating mother nest slowly arrived at the top of the front battlefield, driven by the foreign mother's nest. The workers on board broke away from the whisker-like structure below the mother's nest and began to recover the corpses.

Those fearless soldiers with varying degrees of injuries were floated up by Lin Yi's control of other fearless soldiers, and swam toward the pupal sac mother nest at the rear, preparing for repairs.

But just when he was counting the battlefield and recovering the corpses, he discovered something was wrong - there were many corpses of the fearless soldiers, and he successfully recovered them all, but the number of severed limbs did not match up.

By comparison, a stroke of water has disappeared. And with the size of a Dreadnought that can paddle through water, no species of benthic organisms that pick up garbage in this era has the ability to move it away entirely.

Then there is only one possibility left. What Lin Yi was most worried about finally happened - excluding other benthic creatures, this missing broken paddling leg must have been taken away by the Orthogonal Stone Nest Group in the chaos.

Considering that the other party has already produced such fancy grades as self-destructing horned stones, Lin Yi does not dare to bet on whether the gene editing capabilities of the straight spiral horned stone nest group can analyze the genetic sequence of the fearless soldier and use it.

The worst result is that the opponent's floating mother nest has absorbed the fearless soldier's genetic sequence and completed its analysis. Considering that the time at which Paddling Foot was taken away in the chaos was unknown, Lin Yi estimated that the other party had probably completed the analysis.

Fortunately, there is still room for improvement.

There are various indications that, like Lin Yi, the mother nests of the Orthogonal Stone Nest Group cannot share genetic sequences in real time.

This means that the opponent only has one floating mother nest that has obtained the genetic sequence of the fearless soldier. As long as this floating mother nest is destroyed before the opponent passes this gene sequence to other mother nests, the opponent's work will be in vain.

Therefore, as long as the floating mother nest of the Straight-horned Stone Nest is destroyed before it is far away, the genetic sequence of the fearless soldier can be preserved to the maximum extent, allowing Lin Yi to still maintain his technological advantage in the face of the Straight-horned Stone Nest. .

The echolocation system for detecting the mother larvae came into operation, and the location of the enemy's floating mother nest was quickly locked.

Although there are no longer a large number of accompanying helical adult bodies, the floating brood's huge size and six-pointed star structure still allow its reflection area in the echolocation system to be surprisingly large.

The remaining fearless soldiers were running their water jet propulsion systems, guarded by ordinary soldiers, and were heading towards the enemy's floating nest.

At the same time, Lin Yi controlled the worker to greet a three-eyed Hurd shrimp, and drew the shape of a floating mother nest of straight spiral horns on the sea bed, then drew a pattern representing a swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp, and simply drew a few A curved arrow.

Just in case, he planned to command the swordfish-shaped Herd shrimp, which is the fastest to control the anomalocaris nest group, to intercept the floating mother nest of the right spiral stone nest group first to prevent it from escaping further.

The worker slowly swings its chelicerae to point out the direction for the Anomalocaris nest. After seeing the floating mother's nest of the Straight-Helical Stone Nest Group, the three compound eyes of the three-eyed Hed's Shrimp flashed with luster - which seemed to represent the burst of emotions after being suppressed for a long time.

In communication. Lin Yi already knew that the floating mother nest of the Orthogonal Stone Nest Group was once a lingering nightmare for the Anomalocaris nest group. But now, they have accepted the task of intercepting the Helical Stone Mother Nest without hesitation. Perhaps they are using their strength that is not what they used to be to break the nightmare in their hearts with their own hands.

The swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp swung the swimming blades swept back at a small angle on its side, operating the water jet propulsion system in its body. Its streamlined body immediately flew away like an arrow from the string, and quickly disappeared from sight. middle.

The exoskeleton of this generation of swordfish-shaped Herd shrimp also has a structure similar to that of a fearless soldier, or its gene sequence is mainly derived from the shield scale structure of the fifty-oared horseshoe crab, which provides it with smaller surface resistance and brings Comes faster.

Under Lin Yi's control, a micronized spy attached to the appendages below the head of a swordfish-shaped Herder shrimp, allowing Lin Yi to continuously determine the real-time location of the swordfish-shaped Herder shrimp.

Although the level of micro-spies has basically been eliminated by Lin Yi, he still stored a small amount in the Gana warehouse of the rear development mother, just in case, just in case, like this situation.

The attachment locations of these miniaturized spies have been carefully selected to ensure that they do not affect the streamlined shape of the body surface of the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp, and that the appendages can be easily used to pull the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp like a rein. an appendage, controlling its direction.

The echolocation system of the reconnaissance mother shrimp is operating at full capacity, indirectly pointing the direction to the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp ahead through the micronized spy shrimp.

With the support of the three systems of swimming blade structure, water jet propulsion system and shield scale-like exoskeleton, the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp can fully reach or even surpass the speed of later generations of swordfish.

The speed of a speedboat powered by a human internal combustion engine is not comparable to that of the floating mother nest of the right helical stone nest. Soon, a huge six-pointed star-shaped figure appeared in the compound eyes of the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp and the miniaturized spy.

Several swordfish-shaped Hed shrimps were arranged on both sides, bypassing the floating mother nest of the Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group, and waving their swords to stop in front of the Straight Spiral Stone Floating Mother Nest.

Since the adult helical stones have been exhausted in previous battles, most of the floating broods are accompanied by juvenile helical stones and carrier helical stones.

The combat effectiveness of carrier horn stones without self-exploding horn stones is inferior to that of adult straight spiral horn stones. The tentacles of the stacked armor seriously affect the flexibility of their tentacles, making it impossible for them to effectively wrap around and attack moving objects.

The larvae Orthospermum met its fatal nemesis when it met the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp. As the sword edge passed by, the bodies of the larvae of the larvae were split into pieces by the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp, and they fell downwards on the spot, trailing a trail of bubbles.

It seems that the suction cup of the carrier hornstone is really easy to use. It is not the adult helical hornstone that pushes the floating mother nest, but several carrier hornstones.

At this time, their bodies were also being slashed and pierced by the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp, with the sword edge piercing through the weak parts, and they were furious on the spot.

The huge main part of the floating nest lost its power and floated powerlessly in the water, waiting to be eventually crushed and destroyed.
