Chapter 532 Insect Tide III
Look at the sky, the faint sky has lit up in the eastern sky, which indicates that dawn is coming. But the vast field in the west is still under the rule of darkness. The wind blows sharply, and the wind with ice crumbs can easily tear open a door to ordinary people, but it can't even leave a white mark on his shell.
He is Leiden, a well-known general of the Zerg, who is now standing proudly on a fortress bug, staring at the other side of the land in the west.
Judging from the appearance of Leiden, it is impossible to determine what kind of insect his ancestors were. It can only be attributed to the ranks of alien insects. He has a long head, with a pointed front and back end. The dark and tight shell covers from the front end of the head to the back of the head, and there are two fishy red, lightning-like symmetrical lines on the fan-shaped shell.
Leiden's head is big, but his body is relatively thin. In the upper body of the humanoid, there is a crystal embedded in the chest. Biological crystals are absolutely a symbol of higher life. Creatures have evolved to a certain extent, and their biological energy will be very large. Huge creatures need a matching body to support it, otherwise they will overflow or even explode.
But not all life is willing to evolve into a huge thing like an abyss beast. It is true that such an energy level can no longer be measured by ordinary division criteria, but an overly large body is sometimes very inconvenient. So I wanted to keep the original body shape and think that the organism could not run away, so biological crystals were produced. They are like stones in animals in old times, but they are purer and can store huge energy.
These energies are sealed in the crystal body, and there are special blood vessels connecting crystals and the heart, so that higher life can draw energy from the crystal when needed, and then transmit it to the limbs through the heart.
Leiden is such a high life, and the crystal on his chest is slightly hazy and dazzling in the night. The humanoid body has two slender arms, the back of the arm is covered with a dark and smooth shell, and the palm of only three fingers can make various movements as flexibly as a human. Coupled with the leg structure of the anti-joint, Leiden is not so much a Zerg as some kind of mutated monster.
However, there is indeed a Zerg logo behind him, which is a pair of black but with red dark wings on it. The pair of armored wings can't allow Leiden to fly long distances, but short-range dives and gliding can still be done.
Lydon is one of the few people in the Zerg who uses weapons other than the body. His weapon is a sword called the Ripper, but many people think that this thing is not a sword, but a chainsaw. It has the appearance of a big sword, but the same side of the blade is equipped with a row of movable serrations. This is the product of cold weapons and machining, through a pocket motor installed in the hilt part. When needed, Layden can use a button to turn the serrations around the sword quickly to tear open the opponent's body.
Most of the bodies that died under the torn were mutilated, and they were modified to be works of art that Leiden admired very much. Leiden's brutality and Midra's treachery are as famous among the Bug Kingdom, and few people will not know this bloody and cruel Zerg general.
At this moment, the general opened his mouth excitedly and spit out a slender, cracked tongue from it: "Try them up, I'm going to tear them all. Damn Tuku people, I can finally taste your blood this time."
A Bug man who looked like a cockroach climbed to Lyden's location and clung to the crustace shell of the fortress to avoid being blown away by the strong wind. It shouted in a hoarse voice, "Your brave general, we will arrive at the island of silence in an hour and 30 minutes. Don't you know how the general intends to act?"
"According to our previous practice, let the corrupters swallow the oasis and transform it into our battlefield. Then surround the damn Tuku people in the highlands with landworms, and we can pile them alive with the numerical advantage! As for the fortress insects, they are bombed freely on the periphery, and the self-explosive insects are interspersed with the land insects. Let those warriors take the opportunity to hit the Tuku clan hard!"
"Yes, General, your tactics are still so simple and rude." The adjutant flattered.
Leiden snorted and said, "Our number has an absolute advantage. No matter what the Tuku clan throws away, it can't change the ending of being slaughtered by us!"
"So, what is the time of the attack?"
"Arrive the designated place and let the corrupters work immediately. Once the oasis near the highlands is cleared, it's time for us to attack!"
"I will follow your order." After saying that, the adjutant retreated and issued the order.
The earth shook, and countless insects pushed towards the continent of silence like the same huge wave. The small oasis looked so small under the tide of insects that it seemed to be submerged at any time!
When the biological clock reached six o'clock, Zero opened his eyes. What you see is the exotic ceiling of the foot building, which is different from the ordinary flat ceiling. The ceiling of the foot building has a very complex sense of space, which makes the whole pattern very three-dimensional and has an indescribable taste.
From the simple bed covered with coconut leaves, Zero walked to the window. Looking out from the window, there is still a gray area outside. Looking over many high-footed buildings, the northern plain is shrouded in the unique ice fog of the tundra morning, which is not real.
In the windless morning, the air is very stuffy, making people feel like a stone at the bottom of their hearts, which is very uncomfortable. Ling picked up a pair of automatic pistols silently placed by the bed, and when he looked at them, Ling thought of Beatrice. At this thought, missing is like a dam that has opened the sluice, which is out of control.
The most thought is that I don't know how Beatrice is now? After coming to the tundra battlefield, I have experienced so many things here. Almost everything comes one after another, so close that there is no gap for Zero to miss the people far away in Asgard. Until this morning, he finally had a gap.
I miss it very much.
Zero took a deep breath. Although he couldn't wait to return to Asgard immediately, he knew what to do now. He put away the automatic pistol and took it back when his hand touched the warship gun on the wall by the bed.
It's still early, at least until Merlin wakes up and says goodbye to Tu, then they will leave the Island of Silence and continue to go north to save Ademili. Last night, although all the clans were dispatched, Midera was still not found. However, this also fell into zero's expectation. How can it be so easy to catch the cunning of that bug? It's just that what Zero doesn't know is that Midra has become Osmer's plate.
He opened the door, walked down the tall building, and strolled in the Tuku camp. To his surprise, the Tucu people have left the high-footed building in twos and threes. Some went out to hunt, some went to fetch water in the reservoir, and some continued to clean up the wreckage of yesterday's battle scene. Tu Xian woke up early in the morning and appeared at the scene of the battle. A tall coconut tree carried by the patriarch alone from outside the camp, and the thick trunk even pulled a deep gully on the ground.
After throwing the coconut tree to the ground, their own people came forward and began to remove the leaves from the coconut tree, picked the coconut, and used various tools to turn the huge trunk into parts that can be used to build high-foot buildings. They have a clear division of labor, clear rhythm, light but efficient. However, for a moment, a coconut tree has been solved into different parts, and the materials have been piled up in different categories.
"Get up so early, aren't you used to sleeping in our leaf bed?" Seeing zero, Tu came over first and said.
Zero shook his head: "I'm not so coquettish, I'm just used to waking up early. After all, in the morning, my head is relatively clear, and sometimes I think of something unexpected."
The picture nodded first and said, "For example, how to sniper the enemy?"
"This is just part of it." Zero serious.
Then both of them laughed. Tu Xian looked at the busy camp and said, "Your sniper skills are really good. Few creatures can hide my perception. But last night, I didn't realize your existence until the moment you shot. No wonder Merlin was willing to act with you. That old guy is famous for being arrogant and especially despises you human beings.
"What about the patriarch Tuxian?"
"I won't look down on any life." Tu Xian honestly replied, "Because we don't have the capital to make mistakes. A mistake may bring disaster to our not-large race."
"And last night, we obviously made a big mistake." Tu said lightly first.
Zero looked into his eyes: "I'm sorry, because we caused you great trouble."
Tu Xian laughed and said, "Now even I like you a little. I'm curious. Are human beings as humble as you? Sorry, I don't have much contact with human beings.
"I'm not humble, I just face up to what I've done." Zero spread out the hand.
"Anyway, I don't hate you." Tu Xian said again, "You don't have to apologize. In fact, I had already offended Midra when I left Merlin. Sooner or later, he will trouble us. You just let it happen faster. What's more, the current situation is turbulent. Kaisers is no longer satisfied with a peaceful couple. It is imperative to eradicate the island of silence. Midera will not allow him to leave even a stumbling block on the road he wants to go.
"Maybe I should consider Merlin's proposal. Although we don't want to be captive animals, the premise of freedom must be preserved before we are qualified to say other things. Tu Xian seemed to be persuading himself and said lightly.
Merlin's voice intervened at this time: "You shouldn't think about it, but agree immediately. Old man, you'd better listen to me and let your people sort it out a little and then leave. You can take a piece of my armor as a token, and Lord Hammis will believe you. Because he knows that the enemy can kill me, Merlin, but he can't get even one thing from me!"
At this moment when the morning light gradually appeared, the eyes of these two men of different races flashed with pity.
The picture finally nodded: "Okay, I'll let them..."
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from the sentry tower in the northern plain: "Py chief, you'd better have a look. Bugs, a lot of bugs!"
Including zero, three people change color together.
Although the sentry tower is quite spacious, it also seems a little cramped after squeezing out Zero, Tu Xian and Merlin. From the sentry tower, a wave of insects is pouring in on the northern plain. Tens of thousands of insects are densely pulling out an arc. After approaching the silent continent, the insects on the left and right wings begin to close together and tightly wrap the periphery of the silent continent.
Seeing this, Zero's heart sank and knew that even if he had the intention to leave now, he could not leave. At least there are 20,000 to 30,000 Zerg troops, which will be an unbreakable line of defense. Even if Zero can rush out, there is absolutely no spare time to save Adimyli. What's more, leaving the island of silence, on the flat plain, Zero is not sure that he can save his life under the army.
After the army of Chongguo surrounded the island of silence, it did not attack immediately. On the sentry tower, Zero saw countless smaller bugs suddenly falling from the two giant insects as big as a hill. The two giant insects were like soldiers' transport vehicles, and countless small insects hung on them until then that they fell to the ground. That scene was like a rainstorm, which made people feel sad.
As soon as these large cockroach-like bugs fell to the ground, they immediately came from all directions towards the silent continent. Zero thought that the Zerg were going to attack, but although Merlin and Tuxian looked solemn, they did not make any action. Strangely, the insects did not move after surrounding the oasis. They just drilled into the oasis and lost their sight after a moment.
Next, there were bursts of bites that made people's back cold. The sound formed by tens of thousands or even more insects came from every corner of the oasis, followed by zero and saw a coconut tree starting to fall. They made the most clear marks in the early morning water mist and kept falling to the ground. This is Zero's reaction. Are those small bugs going to encroach on the whole oasis?
On the periphery of the Island of Silence, Leiden is still standing on one of the fortress insects. Before the attack, the general naturally stayed where he was and watched the coconut trees in the silent continent begin to be bitten by the rotten platoons. Falling coconut trees will be eaten by the corrupt, and then become the raw material for them to secrete rot, which will corrode the ground of the oasis and further transform it into an environment conducive to the action of the Zerg.
This process will not be very long. With the efficiency of the corrupt, all the coconut trees will be eaten up in one morning. The next renovation will take about two to three hours, and at most this evening, it will be possible to launch an attack on the highlands where the Tuku people are located.
What Leiden cares more about is that the army has arrived at the island of silence, but it still doesn't see Midra, the king of insects, which is a little different from the message that Midera asked the messenger spider to bring back to him.
