Chapter 31 Mother's Nest
Without being calm for too long, the bug came up again and the battle began instantly.
Perhaps they knew that ordinary sickle bugs were no longer enough to threaten Ling Xiao and the others. The number of powerful bugs began to increase. They sprayed flames and spitted acid, and some of them shrank their bodies into the hard shell and rolled all the way in the cave. If they were dealing with ordinary federal soldiers, they had already killed all the invaders, but they were facing Ling Xiao and his group.
The weaknesses of each newly emerging bug were accurately analyzed. She was a central processor that would not make any mistakes. All bugs' actions were within her calculation range. She marked the priority of attack for everyone, and the shooting points were marked with red dots on the helmet display.
This approach allows people who do not have much military literacy to quickly find their position in combat. They only need to follow the path marked and use the automatic aiming auxiliary program to hit them all the way.
Therefore, although the insects rushed fiercely, they did not pose a substantial threat to Ling Xiao and the others for the time being.
After a wave of insect tide was eliminated, another wave of insects came.
This time, the insects not only hit the two ends of the passage, but also a group of digging insects joined in. Their shovel-like forefoots could easily cut the rocks, so holes appeared up, down and left and right of the team, and the insects that rushed out almost rushed out of the queue that was originally easily resisting the tide.
"Let's go, let's move." Ling Xiao cut off the digging worms that emerged from the side with a knife, then shot and killed the insects in front, and walked forward first, and the others followed him in sequence.
The team moved quickly in the cave while fighting, without giving the digging worms a chance to attack from nearby areas. Gradually, all the sickle bugs in front disappeared, and the main body of the insect became an upright Zerg.
They have a human-like body shape, and the hind limbs that are unique to insects are extremely powerful. They jump more than ten meters lightly. They flew forward in groups, and their speed was so fast that the kinetic energy gun could not effectively kill and rushed to their eyes.
"It's the guard worm," Ling Xiao abandoned the kinetic gun and held the big knife behind him in his hand. The exquisite martial arts blocked the guard worm's breakthrough. "The federal data shows that these guard worms are all guards of the interstellar female worm. It seems that we have to do a good job."
"Let's talk about it first. They are too fast and it's difficult to lock their vital points." Yue Qian joined the shooting of the guard insects. With the high-speed movement of these insects, even if she has an automatic aiming system, it's difficult for her to launch a fatal attack.
Ling Xiao danced into a windmill with a big sword, and all the guard worms that were trying to pass him were split into two by him: "You just need to hit the guard worms in the distance, and leave them to me near. There seems to be no guard worms appearing behind. Kenneth comes forward, and we need stronger forward firepower."
As Ling Xiao said, all the guard worms rushed over from the front, and the worms chasing behind began to decrease. It seems that in the Zerg society with strict hierarchy, they have entered the core area of the interstellar Zerg.
As Kenneth, who has the protagonist's aura, after he joined the forward attack queue, the entire team avoided all detours and went straight to the position of the Starfly Worm along a nearest channel.
"boom……"
Under the bombardment of a rocket, all the guard insects in front were killed, and then Ling Xiao's team entered an extremely wide cave.
The caves with a diameter of over 100 meters and a height of over 100 meters are densely hung, and all of them are hung with insect eggs to be hatched.
Before everyone could see the situation in front of them, another explosion occurred. Sun Yuan exploded and the passage behind blocked the pursuing insects behind.
"This is the mother nest." Kenneth, who had watched the Star River Fortress movie, recognized this place at a glance. At this time, except for tens of thousands of eggs, there were only a few guardian insects in the mother nest. In this open cave, they were quickly wiped out.
"Everyone put bombs separately. As long as we kill all these insect eggs, our merits will be enough for us to become mecha soldiers." Ling Xiao kicked an insect egg beside his kick. Most of these insect eggs were only one meter high, and were covered with a layer of cocoon. He split the eggs with one knife, and a larva slowly wriggled in the mucus flowing out: "Be careful, don't you know if the insects hatched beside you."
Everyone agreed and immediately took the bomb box and spread it apart. Ling Xiao then asked Kenneth: "Since this is the mother nest of insects, we didn't see the mother insects, were we scared away?"
Kenneth, who is familiar with the plot, replied: "No, the mother insect is very large and can hardly move. This should be considered a Zerg's nursery, specially used for hatching insects. The mother insect should be in another cave not far away, just..."
"Just what?"
"But there are so many holes here, which one should we go?" Kenneth pointed to the surrounding hole wall. Only one of the more than ten holes leads to the female insect nest. Now sporadic guard worms are coming out of these holes. I believe that a large number of bugs will arrive soon. If they make the wrong choice, it is almost impossible for them to come back here to make a new choice.
Hearing this reason, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You choose one, right or not, I won't blame you."
"Me?" Kenneth didn't know why Ling Xiao believed in him so much. Logically speaking, they were now trapped in the hinterland of insects. If they couldn't find a way out, they would definitely die here after they were out of ammunition and food. All this was caused by the bad luck that enveloped him. In the current situation, he didn't know why Ling Xiao was still laughing, and he even asked himself to choose a path. He thought he was dying slowly.
"Since you believe in your bad luck, your choice must be the most dangerous place. I think the bugs guarding the mother insects should be even more terrifying."
It makes sense. Kenneth doesn't know how to describe the person in front of him. His performance is not like a normal ordinary person at all. "Yes, there may be a very powerful Zerg near the guardian mother insects. They stand at the top of the entire interstellar Zerg pyramid and are the most perfect Zerg. They are called Rulers. In the movie of the entire Galaxy Fortress, the Rulers have appeared sporadically, but they all have strong individual power. It is precisely because of this that the merits of hunting mother insects are 10,000, and there is no mention in the federal mission of hunting rulers. This is not something that ordinary infantry can do."
Ling Xiao didn't expect that there was such a powerful individual among the Zerg. He asked: "Since the rulers are so powerful, why do those federal soldiers act so easily?"
"That's because the rulers are very rare, and there is not necessarily a ruler in the swarms of more than ten planets. Here, none of the Zerg nests found by the federal army are connected to the female insect nests. The ruler cannot stay with those low-level insects, so it is a relatively easy task for the federal infantry to clear ordinary insects. But this is the female insect nest. If we go to find the female insect, we may encounter the ruler. And because of the curse on me, the chances of our encounter with the ruler will be very high."
