The Death Knell

After all, Gwent was not played. Perhaps the group was smelled by insects when they returned. Not long after returning to the relay station, the insect swarm followed them.

If the green-skinned waaaagh is a green ocean, then the insect tide is like a tsunami, with terrifying numbers overwhelming the sky. The dark clouds in the sky are covered by smoke-like emerald green spores, and the figure with vibrating leather wings is even more... Like thunder.

"Tsk, I can actually see a hive tyrant that has evolved wings. This is really a rare breed."

Su Ming, who was explaining Gwent to the nun, stopped what he was doing. A huge shadow flying above the distant horizon caught his attention.

Generally speaking, the evolution direction of this behemoth, which is dozens of meters high, is to be a tank-type unit on the ground. However, when the Hive Mind deems it necessary, it can modify the genes of any Tyranids to mutate them and grow wings. .

Su Ming thought for a second, which means that the insect nest believes that there are enemies on this planet that the insect swarm must fly to defeat.

This enemy is definitely not a Space Marine. Whether he can fly or not, it is the same to the Astartes monks. They are each a fort and an anti-aircraft gun.

If a huge tyrant wants to fly, he must lose weight through mutation, and the chitinous carapace will become hollow and fragile. This is equivalent to giving up part of the defense and ground strength in exchange for flexibility and speed. .

However, it may be that the Hive Mind is experimenting with a new theory of air-ground integration on this planet. The Zerg master in the high dimension is definitely a rare master of strategy and tactics in the Warhammer universe. It will be in every victory and defeat. Learn from experience to make the next swarm even more deadly and dangerous.

The history of the Zerg is probably older than the birth of humans. They have now evolved to a point beyond the reach of ordinary creatures, and their unique biotechnology cannot even be analyzed by humans.

There's a saying among the mortal Planet Defense Forces that 'you can't kill the same bug twice with the same means'.

It sounds just like Saint Seiya.

All Tyranid Zerg, no matter how many tens of billions there are in an attacking batch, are actually controlled remotely by the Hive Mind, through the tower-like synaptic spikes protruding from the ground, or the Zerg frontline commanders. A psychic node that can issue precise and detailed commands to any insect accurately and promptly.

For example, if you kill a wave of knife bugs with a gun, the will of the swarm will record your attack pattern, and the next time the knife bugs find you, they will be controlled to dodge bullets, or evolve a bulletproof carapace.

The second time your gun is useless, you can only kill the knife bugs with melee weapons, and then the Hive Mind will remember your reaction. The third wave of knife bugs that come to you will probably turn into a wolf pack. mode, or sneak attack from behind.

How many levels can you pass if you do this again and again? The insect swarm has an endless sea of ​​insects. As long as there is biomass, their number will increase exponentially.

And even if you can survive more than ten levels against the knife bugs, the will of the swarm will increase your threat. The next time you face the sword bugs, you may be high-level bugs like warrior bugs or hive guards.

Fortunately, it is difficult for ordinary defense forces to contend with the sea of ​​insects, but Space Marines are not among them. They belong to the kind of insect hive mind that knows that they are going to be shot, but even if the speed of a single knife insect has evolved to the extreme, they still dodge. Not to the point of firing explosive arrows.

Once your strength reaches a certain level, you can survive with one move.

Just in this way, the Hive Mind will often hatch new Zerg species in the war zone, special weapons designed to kill Space Marines, such as Genestealers, Executioners, Death Leapers, Poison Whipworms, Dimekairons, etc. , their attacks can easily tear apart the power armor of Space Marines, and are extremely deadly.

There are also some experimental special insects. Even if they appeared on the battlefield, Su Ming probably wouldn't even be able to name them.

"What should we do?" The nun grabbed the power sword leaning on the table. She also saw what Deathstroke was looking at: "If such a behemoth flies over with a tyrant guard group, the void shield may not be able to stop it."

"It's very simple, just make it impossible for him to fly over."

In the dark night, he squinted to calculate the distance, reached into his pocket and took out the God Jingos, and skillfully pulled the bolt and loaded the gun.

This was the first time Efilar saw him using a long-range weapon, but seeing the weak caliber, he didn't think it was a serious weapon.

It's a serious gun. The relief on the gun should be either a skull or a double-headed eagle. When firing, chanting the name of the Emperor can purify evil.

Although Deathstroke's gun is also glittering and gorgeous, the carvings on it are all women wearing sheets, which is too impure.

But in fact, the power and accuracy of God's Gold Gauss are not comparable to those of bolt guns. Su Ming plans to get some bolt guns and copy them in batches to arm his own space warriors. In fact, this is because God's Gold Gauss cannot be copied. possibility.

Although the aesthetics of the Greek god system does lead to a lot of misunderstandings, in the final analysis this is still an artifact.

Su Ming picked up the gun without even taking aim. He even put the gun on his shoulder and fired while still sitting on the bench.

I saw a golden ray of light flashing across the night sky, passing over the heads of the space warriors fighting with the insect worms below, and also passing through the thick and colorful night. This light was so fast that it only left a dazzling afterimage on the retina. Almost as soon as he pulled the trigger, he hit the tyrant several kilometers away.

It didn't hit the thickly armored parts like its head or chest, but accurately hit the root of one of its leather wings.

Looking from a distance, the huge shadow still fluttered in the air a few times, and then fell to the ground, splashing high dust clouds.

The Hive Tyrant crashed, and its guards naturally landed with it, and suddenly there were only some small flying insects left in the sky.

"If it wants to fly over again to attack the relay station, I'm afraid it will have to go home and soak in the biomass pool for a long time." Su Ming took another look at the ruins, and after making sure that the tyrant could not be seen, he put away his gun and continued drinking: "If I were the Hive Mind, when faced with an attack I couldn't understand, I would definitely retreat first to see the situation, and take a peek while the enemy was fighting other enemies."

Some bugs have evolved the ability to heal themselves, but they need food, which is how much biomass they eat, in proportion to repairing their bodies.

The insect swarm will throw the uneaten food into the acidic digestive juice pool at home and decompose it into a pure biomass soup. In this way, some higher-order insects do not need to hunt when they need to repair their bodies and can go home directly. Just drink soup.

"Your gun is so unorthodox, but it's so powerful?!" The nun looked like her worldview had been subverted. Shouldn't weapons be bigger and more powerful with larger calibers?

"You" Su Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed the air while speaking. A harsh sound of metal friction was heard. His fist was less than one meter away from the nun's head: "Huh? I thought it was the insect nest tyrant who spit out my bullets." When he came back, I was shocked, and it turned out not to be the case.”
