I Am the Swarm

Clearey actually didn't want to go deep into the cave. This worm nest was very strange, completely different from the ones he encountered before. If it was those insect nests, they would have been hollowed out a long time ago according to their crazy digging posture.

However, the vast area occupied by this worm nest and the complexity of the underground passages really exceeded everyone's expectations.

Biologist Dr. Balter speculates that this nest is an unprecedentedly large family, and the number may be beyond imagination. This means that going deep into the worm's nest will be very dangerous.

You must know that the worm nest next to the Cross base was killed by hundreds of thousands, broke the granary, and finally sent 200,000 troops to break through the Cross base.

And the larger scale of this worm nest means that the number of worms inside may be millions or more. If they go crazy, even if they have advanced weapons and rich experience, it will be difficult for them to resist.

Fortunately, the number of people participating in this battle is also very large. Under the coordination of General Massai and Major General Porter, more than 100,000 people entered the underground lair in the first wave.

The 100,000 army was divided into thousands of teams, entered the insect nest from different passages, and moved towards the signaled position. The path in the cave is complicated, the spacious main road is enough for three or four people to advance side by side, and the narrowest passage, the thinnest soldier of the Rickon tribe can barely crawl through without removing all their equipment.

When encountering this kind of passage, the Liken tribe would not dare to enter it rashly. If they want to pass through, they can only expand it with corresponding tools. However, the efficiency of doing so is really poor, and rashly expanding the passage can also cause the cave to collapse.

So for the sake of safety, most of the time, soldiers will choose to detour.

Whenever there is a fork in the road, the team will disperse. Although there are a lot of people coming in, after a few rounds of dispersal, there are only a few hundred people left in each team.

The Zerg seem to be used to their intrusion, and they didn't even find a bug within an hour. But as they approached the 500-meter range of the annunciator, the attack appeared.

These bugs are very concealed when they lie on the rock wall in the dark, and these bugs do not respond to heat sources, so it is extremely difficult to find them with conventional detection methods.

At present, the early warning method of the Riken tribe can only rely on a vibration monitoring instrument, which can detect the enemy's situation through the sound of insects crawling.

But if the bug doesn't move, the instrument is a bit blind.

Although the fleet's scientific research team is urgently developing an instrument that can detect Zerg. However, it was less than a month since the Rickon tribe encountered the Zerg tribe, and it was not enough time to produce any results.

Some Riken soldiers who had relaxed a little because they hadn't been attacked for a long time were the first to suffer. Their reaction to the sneak attack of the bugs was half a beat slow, and it was this half a beat that cost them their lives.

Although raiders are often used for frontal assaults, they are actually a high-explosive, high-agility unit with poor defense. They are more suitable for ambushes and assassinations.

Moreover, their artificial intelligence-like consciousness can make them lurk better. If there is no corresponding order, even if they lie on the spot and starve to death, they will not have any negative emotions.

The puffing sound of the jointed limb blade piercing into the vital parts of the body, the groans of the Riken soldiers before they died, the panicked cries for help, and the shocking cries were intertwined in an instant.

The Zerg, which the Riken tribe has not figured out so far, fought together efficiently and attacked all the Riken tribe teams at the same time. After a short fight, the Riken tribe suffered heavy losses.

In just one minute, the team of 100,000 people lost 20%, and some teams were even completely wiped out.

However, the results of the battle were limited to this. The Riken troops who reacted immediately organized a defense. They had already had many combat experiences against the Zerg, which made their counterattack very sharp.

The Zerg prefers primitive combat methods and tactics, and most of them can only work once in the face of the high-tech and systematic Ricken army.

Just like this kind of sneak attack, the next time it won't produce such a result.

In the narrow passage, the Zerg's physical body really has no good way to face the big killer like the flamethrower. And this kind of assassin-oriented unit is only capable of one blow.

The attack of the bugs was quickly repulsed, leaving only charred corpses in place.

Although the loss was heavy, the captains of the Rickon tribe were a little happy. Having conquered eleven insect nests, they knew what the current situation was like.

They are already close to the "granary" that has been hidden for a long time.

The worms quickly organized the next wave of attack, but when facing the Riken army that was already in full swing, the results were minimal, and the battle loss ratio widened an outrageous gap.

Gradually, the army of Zerg that followed like a tide changed from a "sea" to a "river" and finally to a "stream", and their reinforcements were few and far between.

They were finally exhausted. At least a million bugs died in the suicide charge just now. This was already the largest nest of bugs that the Riken tribe had faced.

If it is not in a narrow passage, complete fire coverage can be achieved. If it wasn't for the Zerg's low intelligence, they didn't know how to protect themselves. If it is on an open surface, it is really hard to say who will die in the end. Maybe it will be the 100,000 Liken troops that will be wiped out.

But there are not so many ifs, the loser gives his life, and the winner receives everything.

What the Rickens received was a super "granary" consisting of more than ten cabins.

As usual, once the last wave of the Zerg's desperate charge is wiped out, the bugs in the "granary" will run away completely, leaving only the prey wrapped in white silk.

But out of caution, the Liken tribe still gathered a large number of soldiers at the gate of the "granary", and then carefully probed in. The surrounding and overhead rock walls were inspected emphatically.

Fortunately, this time the Zerg were very disciplined and there were no accidents.

Due to the large scale of the granary, and the fact that the Riken soldiers had been exhausted mentally and physically during the battle just now, the search was proceeding extremely slowly.

Until five hours later, after digging out a private pocket, a soldier looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a promotion and salary increase.

This is a female Riken tribe, very young and beautiful, her light blue skin is extremely pale because of her weakness. She closed her eyes tightly and seemed to be dead, but from the slightly opened and closed nostrils and the slightly rising and falling chest, it could be seen that she was still alive.

Yes, there will be no dead prey in the "granary" of the Zerg.

This is the experience summed up after the Liken tribe contributed eleven insect nest granaries.

The soldier had never seen Kloss, but he had seen the photos. Although the female in front of him was a little different from the one in the photo, everyone knew the photos.

Moreover, after several days of mental torture, coupled with physical weakness, it is reasonable to look a little out of shape.
