I Am the Swarm

The shooting holes of the underground fortress were all closed, and a layer of stand protection was raised. As for the defensive tasks outside, they are all handed over to mechanical soldiers and automatic defense devices. But the soldiers of the Ji clan are the main output force, and their ceasefire has reduced the density of the firepower network a lot.

The Ji Clan's defense line, which had reduced its firepower by at least half, was powerless to stop the raging insect nest. It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Ji clan to cease fire, and the bugs pushed the corpses of their allies as cover and rushed to the front of the fort.

The automatic defense system without the ability to move was the first to be torn apart. Although the mechanical soldiers had good mobility, they did not receive an order to retreat. When they could only defend themselves, they soon followed in the footsteps of the automatic defense system. .

Immediately afterwards, dense worms quickly covered and flooded the metal fortress. But the function of the metal fortress is defense. Although its main structure cannot completely resist the bites and slashes of bugs, it can last for a long time.

But in front of a sea of ​​insects of this magnitude, especially when the rare China Assaulters are also revealed in it, it can be predicted that the metal fortress will be breached soon.

At the same time, at the bottom of this area, nearly two hundred tunnel worms have also approached the battlefield after wading through the minefield. A passage enough to help the Zerg Queen escape is forming.

But at this moment, a bomb with a strange shape was detonated in the underground passage. There is no powerful explosion and roar, only the release of endless light and heat, accompanied by intense radiation.

A special radioactive element began to permeate the tunnel as the bomb exploded. The Zerg army swept by the radiation wave suddenly reacted uncomfortable.

Most of these cannon fodder are genetic samples of native organisms, in order to obtain the ability to adapt to the planet's environment, and the relative cost is much lower, which can easily form a quantitative advantage.

But in front of X-576, the number was meaningless. The genes of the bugs began to collapse, and the surface of their bodies began to fester. Blood and thick water came out from the holes on their bodies.

In just a few minutes, the huge and turbulent sea of ​​insects, except for a small number of high-level troops with creep as the main template, turned into wreckage and rotten flesh, with almost no casualties.

At the same time, the rays passed through the barrier of the soil layer, sweeping over the tunnel worms that were rushing upwards. These big guys are also cheap local genetic creations, and they soon had adverse reactions.

But their bodies are huge, and they don't have pain-sensing nerves. Even though their bodies have begun to fester, they still rush upwards with their heads buried.

The Ji clan, who have been using detection instruments to grasp the dynamics of the battlefield, have doubts.

"The range of action of X-576 has included them, why haven't they slowed down yet?"

"Is the X-576 useless against the Zerg?"

"How is it possible? Can't you see the effect of X-576 on those small Zerg units?"

"But I found that some of those bugs are not affected by X-576 at all."

"They may have adopted the same technology as those space units, and they have broken away from the category of ordinary creatures."

"It's hard to imagine, what are they?"

"Now that's not the point. What I care about is the big bugs. We detonated the X-576, not to clean up those little bugs, but it's mainly aimed at the target, and it's still posing a threat to our plan."

"Maybe it's because they are too big, so they can last for a while?"

"It would be great if that's the case. What I'm worried about now is that those big bugs also use the technology of those space creatures."

"Responding! They've slowed down, and there are some strange signs!?"

"What?" Hearing this person's yell, everyone immediately checked the synchronized frontline battlefield data.

"This is……?"

The Ji clan's detection equipment is extremely advanced. Although it is impossible to accurately describe the body shape of the tunnel worm, the general body size data can be detected by the equipment.

On the data image, the huge body of the tunnel worm seems to be shrinking little by little. Sometimes it decreases a little bit, and sometimes a large piece suddenly disappears.

"I see. Those big bugs should be invertebrate molluscs. Their body structure should be extremely primitive, so they don't have pain nerves, or the Zerg deliberately removed them."

"That's right, in this way, they can still behave as if they are not affected by X-576 radiation. In fact, those parts that disappear are their festered limbs."

"Even if they are huge, they can't last long. We must prevent them from opening the passage before they die."

"Let K2N9 and K1KN10 go!"

All the mechanical units of the Ji clan have a characteristic, that is, they are highly automated. Although they are usually controlled by humans, at critical moments, artificial intelligence can take over everything.

Neither machine could completely defend against X-576's radiation attack, so before the bomb detonated, they handed over control of the machine to the artificial intelligence Serena, and at the same time entered the metal fortress themselves.

At this time, the effect of radiation is still at a high intensity value, the driver cannot return to his driving position, and the time is not enough.

Fortunately, Serena can drive two kinds of machines proficiently, even more perfect than those manually operated. The moment the new command was received, the two types of excavation equipment that were standing near the battlefield started to move.

They gathered towards the bottom of the battlefield one after another, intending to block the final charge of the tunnel worm with their steel bodies. As long as there is a ten-meter buffer between the lower passage and the upper one, this distance is a natural barrier for the Zerg Queen, and it is a distance that she cannot cross.

The Ji Clan's method is very effective, and X-576's influence on creatures is too great. Even with the huge body of the tunnel worm, it is impossible to delay the death time for too long.

And those K2N9 and K1KN10 standing in front of them, in normal times, in front of their several parallel and spirally arranged sharp teeth, K2N9 is like a jelly bean, and K1KN10 is like a big ham, and they are just more dense than ordinary sediment. Food with bites only.

However, K2N9 and K1KN10 are too hard for the tunnel worms whose genes are collapsing, internal tissues are festering, teeth are loose, and even falling off.

And their remnants, with great effort, can still fly K2N9, but K1KN10 is too huge, for them at this time, it is an unshakable steel line of defense.

Finally, amidst the dull bang of the collision between the body and the metal, the tunnel worm completely stopped moving, losing signs of life.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the headquarters of the Ji Clan breathed a sigh of relief. In this round of confrontation between the two sides, they won again.
