Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

The second wave of insects was no longer composed of fragile springtails, but rather of cockroach-like insects that were much larger and covered in dense bony armor.

Their bodies are hard and heavy, with layers of bone armor on their backs pieced together, like natural heavy armor soldiers, yet their speed during a charge is not affected in the slightest.

Da da da!

The heavy machine gun bullets struck the cockroach's bony armor hard, only scattering a dense shower of sparks; most of the bullets were deflected by the hard bony armor.

Conventional weapons simply cannot penetrate its defenses.

Only large-caliber heavy artillery and armor-piercing grenades can barely penetrate bone armor and cause effective damage.

This new wave of Zerg, newly evolved with heavy armor, possessed physical resistance far exceeding that of the first wave, completely shattering the firepower advantage of the human army.

The battle line was instantly stretched thin. The soldiers fought and retreated under pressure, but they still could not stop the Zerg's rapid charge.

Several cockroaches that broke through the barrage rushed into the position, wreaking havoc as if it were empty.

Screams rang out one after another, and casualties began to appear on the battlefield.

At the critical moment, Sun Wukong flashed into the battlefield and forcefully intervened.

The golden cudgel suddenly shone brightly, sweeping out with immense force, the howling wind directly blowing away several cockroaches.

His staff technique was fierce and powerful, each strike was heavy and forceful, smashing the hard bony shell on the back of the cockroach insect, and the exploding insect blood splattered everywhere.

He single-handedly held off the second wave of insects by standing in front of the position.

After a long and fierce battle, the remaining cockroaches were all wiped out.

But the ending remained as bizarre as ever.

The remains of all the dead cockroaches were still quickly devoured and dissolved by the fungal carpet.

Since the start of the war, the human army has not been able to capture a single intact Zerg corpse; all the remains have been recovered by creep.

This made it impossible for them to complete the task of collecting Zerg corpses.

Before the troops could even begin to rest, huge bulges rose up again from the ground covered with fungal growth!

The third wave of Zerg has arrived.

The Zerg that have emerged from the hive this time have completed their complete evolution.

Their bodies are even larger and more ferocious, covered entirely in jet-black carbonized hard armor with a faint metallic sheen on the surface, making them completely immune to damage from conventional thermal weapons.

Even armor-piercing shells left it completely unharmed, and ordinary grenade bombardment could only leave a scorch mark on the surface, without penetrating the defenses at all.

This time, even Sun Wukong felt a chill run down his spine.

The carapaces of these insects are completely different from those of the previous two waves.

The density of the carbonized structure is specifically optimized for human kinetic weapons.

It even has a slight resistance to spiritual energy.

This was obviously due to the increase after being attacked by Sun Wukong.

If they were to collect a few more sets of Sun Wukong's combat data, they would very likely evolve armor that would be completely immune to spiritual damage.

At this rate of iteration, if they are given enough time to develop, even the Monkey King might not be able to defeat them.

"Looks like I, Old Sun, have to get serious."

Sun Wukong's eyes sharpened, and he decided to hold back no longer. He leaped into the air.

A golden divine light shot into the sky from his entire body, enveloping the entire valley in thousands of golden rays, and a thunderous shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Following the laws of Heaven and Earth!"

In an instant, his golden body grew to a towering height, reaching the heavens and standing tall.

A colossal golden Dharma image stood amidst the mountains, its golden cudgel growing tens of millions of feet in size, carrying overwhelming power and crushing everything as it slammed down on the insect nest and the entire fungal carpet area below!

Boom—!

A deafening roar echoed across the surrounding area, the mountains trembled, and rocks flew everywhere.

The entire mushroom carpet that stretched across the valley was completely annihilated by this attack.

The scorching golden light swept across the land, completely severing the regeneration foundation of the Zerg in this area, leaving no trace behind.

The insect swarm crisis in the East China theater was completely quelled by Sun Wukong single-handedly.

But no one could laugh.

Global communication channels are receiving a constant stream of bad news from various countries.

Without a powerful force to back them up, ordinary human armies simply cannot withstand the Zerg's terrifying rate of generation.

In less than ten minutes, the defenses of various countries collapsed one after another.

Unrestrained, the Zerg became a catastrophe, with countless swarms pouring out of their nests across the land.

They are no longer confined to mountainous wilderness, but instead are surging wildly towards major human cities.

Streets, urban areas, suburbs, fields... everywhere you look there is a surging swarm of black insects, blotting out the sky.

Wherever it goes, not a blade of grass grows.

Sun Wukong looked solemn.

No matter how capable he is, he is not omnipotent.

Now, the Zerg have swept across the globe, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people are in danger.

Even if he possessed extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't dare to launch a large-scale attack indiscriminately.

Indiscriminate attacks, while capable of wiping out the swarm of insects, will also endanger the innocent lives of the rest of the city.

At this moment, even he, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, was caught in a predicament of being hampered by the insectoid catastrophe that was sweeping the globe.
