I Am the Swarm

Although another stage victory was achieved, these were not enough to be celebrated until the final goal was not successfully captured by the Zerg Queen.

"The radiation intensity has decreased, and the protective clothing of the soldiers is enough to withstand this level of impact. Try to find the Zerg Queen before the Zerg's next round of attack!"

"It's not about fighting for it, it's about having to. We will be able to block the next attack of the Zerg. We must take advantage of this window to capture the target!"

"Continue to send mechanical soldiers and automatic defense modules to the battlefield, take over the defense, let the soldiers all search for the target, she is definitely still there!"

The X-576, which has been modified by the Ji family's new technology, is more suitable for the battlefield environment than their previous models. They can create a short-term heavy radiation field, but after a few minutes, the intensity of this radiation will decrease rapidly to allow their own personnel to enter and clean the battlefield.

But this is only a reduction, not a complete elimination. Although the reduced radiation concentration cannot harm the soldiers of the Ji clan wearing protective clothing, it is still a severe poison for ordinary creatures.

Obviously, although the small combat units that the Zerg had played before were much stronger than ordinary creatures, in essence, they did not transcend this category.

Therefore, the staff of the Ji clan said that the soldiers of the Ji clan might not be able to resist the next round of the Zerg attack. Because the weapons that can charge on the battlefield must be those weapons made by space biotechnology.

In the impression of the Ji Clan, as long as it is a Zerg unit manufactured by space biotechnology, none of them is easy.

"Beyond the radiation range, we found traces of tunnel worms!" Suddenly, an instrument operator reported.

Since the X-576 cannot cause a very strong explosion effect, the tunnel dug by the tunnel worm under the battlefield did not collapse. This is equivalent to changing the direction to reduce the obstacles in the detection, so that the instruments of the Ji family can detect a farther range.

And at a deeper position than before, the Ji clan found that occasionally creatures entered the identification area, and only tunnel worms of that size had it.

"It doesn't matter, there is a radiation zone, they can't get through at all."

"Zergs don't do useless work. If they are not working, then it is time to give up their positions."

"Are you worried?"

"That's right, even if the combat units of the Zerg are very similar or even identical, they may be two products with completely different production techniques. For example, we have seen their kind in the space battlefield. By comparison, they are almost identical in appearance."

"You mean the tunnel worms below are likely also made by the Zerg using space unit technology?"

"That's right! In this case, we must deploy the defense line as soon as possible. After all, just now, they were only a little bit close to opening the passage."

"Indeed, if there is another wave of shocks, it shouldn't be too many. Just a few dozen or even a dozen will be enough to open up the remaining distance."

"We can plant more bombs, stop them!"

"This is just a bad idea. Look here, here, and here. The more than 200 tunnel worms have already dug too many gaps in the soil below. If you detonate another bomb at this time, it may cause a large-scale landslide. We cannot predict the battlefield environment after the landslide, and it is difficult to determine whether it is beneficial to us."

"Then what to do?"

"It's difficult to solve. Although we have large-scale underground combat equipment, it is difficult to release and assemble them in a short period of time. The best way now is to take advantage of this window as soon as possible to capture the target."

"My idea is a little bit different from yours." Suddenly, a staff member of the Ji clan spoke up and put forward another point of view: "I think those tunnel worms are no different from the previous ones, they are still the normal version. I even think that the Zerg It may not be possible to use space biotechnology to make these tunnel worms."

"Oh? How did you come to this conclusion?" The staff who was refuted were not angry either. Now everyone is making suggestions for the success of the plan. Different views may collide with more sparks. Predicting the Zerg's next actions as much as possible can prevent them from being too passive and increase the chance of mission success.

"Looking at the passage battlefield we just saw, from the video data taken by the metal fortress, among the ordinary creatures, there are many combat units with templates of space creatures. The proportion is about 3%-5%. Although it is very low, it can be applied In terms of the base number of Zerg troops, it is still a considerable number. And these space versions have a variety of creatures, such as China Assaulters, wild boar beasts, and even those big spiders."

The staff officer paused for a moment, and continued: "From this, it can be seen that the Zerg did not deliberately distinguish the creatures of the two technologies. And when it comes to dealing with the tunnel worms, the Zerg probably has the same policy."

"You mean?"

"That's right, if the Zerg had a space biotechnology version of the tunnel worm, they would definitely appear in the previous battles. And under the influence of X-576, their performance will definitely be more prominent. But unfortunately, we don't No such individuals have been found, and all tunnel worms have been affected by X-576."

"Maybe the Zerg hid it deliberately?"

"It's possible, but the possibility is very low. Their queen is besieged, and the situation is very critical. In this case, all the surrounding troops must rush forward. They don't need to be here, and they can defeat us now. As long as they save the target, it is the greatest victory. In this case, what's the point of leaving an ambush? If they were among the tunnel worms just now, there were a few individuals who were not afraid of X-576 radiation, maybe the target is gone now. was rescued."

"It makes sense. According to the ratio you gave just now, among the 200 tunnel worms, there are about 6-10 special individuals, but unfortunately, they didn't appear. Perhaps, they really don't exist."

"Maybe it's just that they weren't around and they just arrived after the impact."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, I just put forward a point of view."

"Okay, but in my opinion, as long as we capture the target during this window period, even if the Zerg have all kinds of plans and hidden soldiers, it will be meaningless."

"But we must also be prepared to enter the next stage of the battle without finding the target!"

"Okay, I agree with you, so what to do now?"

"That's exactly what needs to be discussed."

"..."

While discussions in the Ji Clan's combat command room were in full swing, the front line was not idle. A large number of mechanical soldiers and automatic defense modules were transported to the underground battlefield, and even some repair robots came along with them.
