Rick stared at Xue No blankly, "You, you guys..."
"Step aside."
After the girl finished speaking, an ancient and mysterious staff appeared in her hand, and Rick and the mobile team members retreated.
The breeze around them became chilly, and everyone saw her push her palm, and an ice-blue, asteroid-like ice ball, with rotating ice crystals, was pushed towards the more than a hundred insects gathered behind her.
Before the insects could react, they were covered by the horizontally spreading ice. Their black and yellow bodies were immediately stained with a thin layer of frost. They began to struggle and roar in pain.
They seemed to be slowed down, their movements became sluggish until they turned into ice sculptures.
Then, the young man named Komuro Takashi also walked out of the power armor. His pupils were replaced by a dark green color, and his whole temperament became weird and terrifying, like a demon from the twisting void.
After his hands were flat, countless green lights gathered from the palms to the top of his head, condensing into a fist-sized, ominous...seed?
With a light sigh, the seed was pushed into the body of a Zerg ice sculpture behind him.
'puff--'
Three seconds later, a slight sound was heard, and the seed that had sunk into the insect's body exploded. A faint green smoke spread to its companions beside it, and then condensed into a new seed, spreading infinitely...
'Puff puff……'
Countless dull explosions were heard, and all the more than one hundred insects were infected by this strange power. The white spots of frost covering their bodies began to turn into a layer of dark green color similar to mold. The frost began to melt, and their bodies also began to... melt.
In less than ten seconds, all the more than one hundred insects were corroded into broken limbs on the ground!
"hiss--"
A deafening roar came from the insect swarm, and the dark army of insects charged towards the prey. The "brain" discovered something unusual and issued a new order!
It no longer expected living prey, it ordered them to be killed immediately!
But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew around, and the mysterious ice and snow goddess floated in the air, with her staff spinning violently above her head, and a huge magic circle was reflected in the sky...
All the mobile team members took off their masks, and even Rick couldn't help but open his mouth and kept muttering Western catchphrases like "Oh my God".
Sekai Saionji covered her mouth, a hint of fear was faintly revealed in Sawaetsu's shocked eyes, and Nobuyuki Sugo stared at Yukino's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Kasumigaoka Utaha finally sat on the ground in a daze, with a reflection of white snow on her visor. It was more bitingly cold than the Siberian wind, and it was a doomsday more desperate than the severe winter in Antarctica.
The huge magic circle was like a cloud of destruction, slowly sweeping from left to right, leaving behind only dense ice sculptures...
Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly recalled that night, when it was the same girl in front of her who said to her with a gentle smile and in a gentle tone, "We don't deserve it, we don't deserve to have friends..."
Another dark green seed flew over, and the plague spread in that pure land of ice and snow.
Chapter 36: The Zerg Conspiracy
"Hey, did you see that?" A soldier who was cleaning up the battlefield, carrying the corpse, shouted to his comrades beside him: "Super soldiers of the Eighth Legion!"
"Yes, I saw it, I was right next to him!" Another person also shouted excitedly: "The scorpion of the stink bug interfered with the signal, and the pulse turret had to calculate the firing angle manually, but we had no way to deal with those four tank bugs!"
The soldier danced and shouted: "The captain ordered us to rush through. Oh, damn Marcus! Let him eat shit. I thought I was finished!"
"How did he do that!?" the soldier on the left became more and more excited.
"He rushed in front of me and pushed me. I was about to scold him, but he was a fucking Superman!" In excitement, the soldier's limbs fell to the ground with a snap.
He didn't care at all. He gestured and shouted, "They must be the latest super soldiers trained by the Federation. I saw his sword emitting golden divine light. Also, the bow and arrow he used against the pulse scorpion while standing on the tank bug's corpse also emitted pulse energy. I saw with my own eyes that the bow emitted pulse energy after it was pulled. Could our technology be about to take another leap forward?"
Hearing this, the soldier who started the topic was stunned and asked: "Leap?"
"They should be the secret weapon of the Federation. The reason why this secret is not made public is that the enhanced serum should still be in the experimental stage."
The soldier thought for a moment, then gently patted his comrade on the shoulder and said, "Think about it with your brain, which is dumber than a pig, Colin. We landed on this planet this time, is it really just to regain control here? Why must the higher-ups rescue the researchers at Base 2-5? Why did the Eighth Legion have to carry out the rescue mission? Why were there only 50 people forced to land there!"
"The Federation's secret is the bedbugs. It won't be long before we completely eradicate them!"
The soldier stared at the smug guy blankly. "Robert, you are such a sinister guy. You should go to the command center and have coffee with those self-righteous idiots instead of having a party with bugs here."
"No, no, no, my dear Colin, I will vomit if I am with those stubborn and pedantic guys. My greatest pleasure is to tear open the bodies of bedbugs and crush their internal organs!"
The soldier's tone revealed a hint of yearning, "We'll wait until the day when the secret is revealed by the Federation Congress and the technology of the enhanced serum matures. Only people like us will have the chance to become heroes."
……
Okay, these two don’t look very smart, but similar conversations and speculations are happening in every corner of the battlefield.
In fact, when the electromagnetic interference disappeared and the battlefield video was transmitted back to the flagship, the entire command center fell silent.
But all this happened when the Pulse Scorpion was causing large-scale interference, and the timing was so precise that the entire battlefield electronic system was interfered with, and the system was unable to identify the soldiers' accurate information at all.
Meteors streaking across the battlefield, small black holes in the sky, corpses of tank bugs disappearing and reappearing, people swinging great swords and turning the tide of battle with a single move...
Not even the soldiers standing next to them knew who was responsible for all this.
Their power armor only recorded that one scene, so everyone only knew that this armor belonged to the 8th Legion's "tough guy" troops.
There are at least a thousand soldiers of the Eighth Legion on the battlefield now. The man who obviously has supernatural powers immediately integrated into the battlefield after turning the tide of the battle. He might have been forced to be exposed.
In just a dozen minutes, the rumor had spread completely among tens of thousands of people, and the morale of the victorious vanguard army reached its peak.
"We are heroes, huh?"
Kitahara Sora glanced at Hui while cleaning up the battlefield. "How does it feel to be a hero?"
"Hmm--not bad?"
"Then you continue to be a hero. I've wanted to slip away for a long time." Kitahara Sora said unhappily.
Hui shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Senior is becoming more and more boring."
"Yes, yes, I'm boring." Kitahara Sora said perfunctorily: "What we're doing is just a small matter. If they see what's happening over there with Yukino, the whole world will be in an uproar."
"Senior." Hui tilted her head and thought for a moment, then agreed, "Thousands of bugs, and they were dealt with by senior and Komuro-kun alone. That's amazing."
"But luck plays a big part. If the insects' IQ wasn't that high, it would be difficult for them to escape." Kitahara Sora's brows suddenly frowned. Although he was not there, a great sense of relief spread in his heart.
If the bugs had tried their best to capture them as soon as they discovered them, instead of considering capturing them alive, then Yukino would not have had the opportunity to guide the blizzard, and Komuro Takashi would not have been able to blindly release the Seeds of Corrosion.
After all, his skill is too abnormal. It is an indiscriminate AOE. After the corrosion explosion, it will spread to any creature within 10 meters around, regardless of friend or foe. If it is really a close combat, there is no doubt that you will be backfired after releasing this skill.
The effect of this skill is to release a seed, and after the seed explodes, a layer of "Corrosion" will be released on each target. The effect of Corrosion lasts for about 10 seconds.
The target will be continuously corroded within ten seconds, and the effect depends on the level of the caster and the target's vitality.
In fact, the fighting power of insects is not that weak. Even if they are frozen by Yukino's blizzard, they are still alive. The Seeds of Corrosion are facing dying insects and only serve to harvest them.
In other words, if it was Takashi Komuro who released the Seed of Corrosion first, the effect would definitely not be so terrible, because the insect's body had been ravaged by the blizzard and was vulnerable to any attack.
It's like when Komuro Takashi used this skill on Kitahara Sora, the effect was just that his skin was corroded over a large area within ten seconds. This kind of corrosion could be perfectly offset by Kobayashi Daigo's "Recovery".
More importantly, the insects were in a densely packed state, so Kitahara Sora said that Yukino and the others had such a record largely due to luck.
"Let's not talk about her. Our current situation is really difficult."
Kitahara Sora said softly, "Yukino asked Rick and the others to shut down the armor's intelligent system before letting them go, and our battle footage has been seen by the human leaders."
He raised his head and looked at the sky. Countless stars appeared in the sky again. The logistics supply troops in the universe were ready to land, and humans would set up a base here.
After that, the troops will be integrated to encircle and eliminate all the bugs on the planet, and then a defense line will be built in the universe to completely control the planet.
But after the troops are integrated, the soldiers of the Eighth Legion present will definitely be recalled. They cannot find someone who can turn the tide of the battle for the time being, but it is always right to check them one by one.
At this time, Aso Takuto's voice came from the headset, "What should we do? Should we unite with humans and cooperate with them?"
"It's impossible to cooperate. If we really cooperate, we will be in a backward state. The second phase of the mission may be directly linked to the demise of human civilization."
Beiyuan Kong picked up a broken Zerg limb and threw it into the storage box of the intelligent robot. He continued, "Moreover, the humans in this world are not the more than 200 countries in reality. There is no competition between countries here, so no matter what you say, they will not believe it..."
"Eh? Is that so?"
"That's right."
Hui continued, "We are likely to be captured, interrogated, studied, and coerced into revealing our secrets. However, our rule is that if we reveal our secrets, we will be killed. The worst result is that we will stand on the opposite side of humanity. At that point, our enemies may be two civilizations."
"How about we go find Miss Yukinoshita?" Aso Takuto suggested again, "After all, our mission is to rescue Dr. Aiden Jerry?"
"No, we can't leave now." Kitahara Sora immediately denied.
"why?"
"After reconnecting with the flagship, we found that they have completely mastered our information. We had a perfect excuse to evacuate before, but now it is almost impossible to leave."
At this point, Kitahara Sora sighed helplessly. He didn't want to take care of the trivial matters here before, but he was surrounded by bugs as soon as he arrived, and he definitely couldn't leave from the ground.
Then the order was to search for brain worms underground. It was such a good opportunity to escape, but tank worms emerged from the ground like excavators. To drive a drilling mecha in that situation would be courting death.
In the end, I can only use my ability to turn the tide of the battle, otherwise I will definitely be buried with the vanguard troops...
Just thinking about it, Kitahara Sora always felt that something was wrong. His intuition told him that the problem they were facing was not humans, but the protagonist of this mission, the 'Arachnis Zerg'.
Why do I feel like the bugs are so lame in this mission? They are simply vulnerable in the face of these people with special abilities?
This shouldn't be the case, right? They are already a race capable of interstellar travel, so their technological level must be higher than that of real humans.
Since it is a civilization, it must have ethnic concepts, and it must have a series of components such as tools, language, writing, and beliefs.
They can fight on equal terms with the technologically highly advanced humans in this world, so they shouldn't be so lame, right?
From the brief confrontation, it can be seen that their battlefield command is much better than that of humans.
They launched a lightning raid on the MP-2 planet, lured humans to counterattack, built defensive fortifications in advance, and sent out a distress signal from the test base. Despite their extremely strong reproductive capacity, they actually considered the battlefield damage rate.
In exchange for air superiority at the cost of sacrificing a small number of jumpers, the powerful Pulse Scorpion did not destroy the central tank turret immediately, but instead released shielding interference signals on a large scale?
Then Yukino happened to see them hunting on a large scale...
why?
Why didn't they use their numbers to fight against human technology like in science fiction movies? Why did they choose to retreat? And why were they fighting here and hunting there?
Thinking of this, Bei Yuankong suddenly woke up and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Senior, have you thought of anything?"
Seeing that Kitahara Sora looked like something was seriously wrong, Hui's expression also became serious, and she asked softly, "Big crisis?"
"benefit……"
"Well?"
"Remember the Pulse Scorpion I just destroyed?"
"Hmm..." Hui groaned, "It's vulnerable."
But after she finished speaking, her eyes widened, and she said in a slightly surprised tone: "Senior, are you saying that the Zerg can control energy with their biological bodies?"
"It's like this." Beiyuan Kong looked around the messy battlefield and said in a deep voice: "Since humans have to use warp engines to get here from the solar system, how can insects travel through the stars? There is no air in space. Even if the jumpers can adapt to the space environment, no matter how they flap their wings, they can't move forward at all..."
Hearing this, Hui fell silent.
Perhaps humans are completely no match for the bugs, or perhaps they haven't even started to exert their strength yet. What's worse, they are not the "natives" of the "Clandaff" galaxy at all. The direction of human evolution is the brain, and they are good at making tools and using various technologies.
The evolution of the Zerg is physical, they do not need to borrow the power of science and technology, they can control various energies with their physical bodies, just like the pulse war scorpion can release energy fields and pulse rays.
They can also use the energy generated by their bodies to travel across the universe, or fold space similar to a warp drive.
So all of this is fake. The raid on this galaxy is just an inducement, because this is the most delicate position in the Milky Way. Humans will definitely take it back. Even the advance defense is an illusion. Their real purpose may be...
"Humans know it, right? What the captain has deduced should be basic information that we don't know?"
Aso Takuto asked in confusion: "Before we entered the mission, hadn't the Earth been raided by the Zerg several times?"
"They know that the Zerg's life science technology is very powerful, but humans, as the authorities, do not know the Zerg's true purpose."
Kitahara Sora said helplessly: "Do you know why there is a war here and Yukino is being hunted down?"
At this time, Kazami's cold voice came from the headset, "Breeding."
"Breeding?"
"Yes, it's breeding." Beiyuan Kong continued to explain: "Since this planet is occupied by humans, they must have carried out a cleansing operation after winning, so there are not many Zerg here."
"The reason they hunt is because they are also living creatures. It is impossible for them to create countless 'tribesmen' out of thin air like copying glue. The fact that they considered 'battle damage' and 'tactical retreat' in previous battles is enough to explain this."
"..."
Kitahara Sora did not speak again. Instead, Yukino's voice rang out from the headset. "It can be considered that the Zerg deliberately lured humans to land on this planet in large numbers. Their purpose is the same as that of humans. They should be planning to use this life planet as a springboard to prepare for a full-scale attack on the Earth."
"Yukino, how are you doing over there?"
"We are on our way to the test base. We are not in any danger at the moment." Xue Nai paused and continued, "Let me continue to talk about the current situation..."
"So, just as Kitahara-kun guessed, when the follow-up troops and supplies arrive, the remaining fleets in space will be in danger. When the fleets in space are destroyed, the trillions of lives on this planet, including the hundreds of thousands of humans who arrive later, will become...food for the Zerg to breed offspring."
