Chapter 213 Arms race, Zerg civil war, fleet appearance

On the night after the decisive battle in Wucheng, the Queen Mother of Haicheng discovered through the reconnaissance of several green-winged insects that the human garrison originally stationed by the Taihu Lake...

It seemed to have disappeared without a trace within a day.

Its first reaction was that the garrison had run out of ammunition and food, and had to retreat and rest after the battle.

But then it thought again that the other party had successfully killed the Queen Mother of Jiangbei, although it was in order to enter Taihu Lake in advance, it rushed on its way without knowing whether to live or die, and then got into the trap set by humans.

So now the leader of the Wucheng army, the human that the Queen Mother of Haicheng hated, must have successfully entered the third stage through the success of the decapitation plan.

So he has the qualifications to challenge her head-on.

Even if he is stationed alone by the lake, he can easily destroy hundreds of second-level insect swarms.

This may also be a trap carefully built for it, wanting to completely eliminate the insect race under its command.

Out of caution, the Queen Mother of Haicheng did not send troops to advance rashly, but continued to shrink her forces and planned to wait and see for a while.

The sudden change made it choose to stay in the suburbs of Haicheng, which was originally planned to retreat to the center of Haicheng and rely on offshore biological resources to restore the vitality of the insect swarm. It was a bit difficult.

Originally, the Queen Mother of Haicheng could fly to a longer distance for detailed search through the second-order wind-wing insects, but the green-winged insects not only have a short range, but also a limited search range.

But when she thought that the genetic assimilation warriors sent by the other party would set up an ambush in the sky of Wucheng and use long-range artillery to sneak attack the wind-winged insects...

The Queen Mother of Haicheng gave up this idea.

Now that it has lost more than half of its insect swarm, it is no longer able to consume a lot of resources to cultivate new second-order wind-winged insects.

However, after the failure of the decisive battle in Wucheng, the Queen Mother of Haicheng also learned lessons from humans and began to continue to upgrade the warrior hunting insects at a very low cost.

The first is to add a pair of membrane wings of the green-winged insect, so that the warrior hunting insect can achieve short-distance flight raids and imitate human genetic warriors.

The second is armor enhancement.

The second-level giant jaws of a tiger-backed worm are more than enough to arm ten warrior hunting worms. When facing the fire blockade of humans, the latter is obviously more cost-effective.

But the tiger-backed worm also plays an irreplaceable role in tearing open the line and impacting the formation.

However, with the breach of the Wucheng defense line, the tiger-backed worm is no longer needed to charge into battle.

With such a large body, it is simply a living target on the battlefield, which is easy to be solved by concentrated fire, which is not worth the loss.

In comparison, the warrior hunting worm is thin and more flexible, and can well restrain the second-level awakening legion of humans.

The warrior hunting worm with superimposed armor, equipped with four long swords of the same material, has narrowed the gap with the equipment of the second-level war group.

The next time the two sides come into close combat, the Queen Mother of Haicheng is fully confident that she can rely on the equipment and number advantages of the new warrior hunting worm to crush humans.

In this way, the weapons and equipment of the warrior hunting insects were quietly upgraded. The Queen Mother of Haicheng observed the situation in the western part of Wucheng while reorganizing the armaments of her insect swarms to prepare for the next expansion battle.

However, two days later, in the morning, the Queen Mother controlled the green-winged insect to fly to the second line of defense in the west of the city to conduct an investigation...

Linking the perspective of the green-winged insect, she unexpectedly detected a group of uninvited guests!

A group of red beetles and black-backed insects suddenly appeared in the half-ruined western part of Wucheng.

And this group of insects, with a scale of tens of thousands, appeared in the human territory in such a swagger, and began to clean up the battlefield and knock down the broken houses and buildings.

The Queen Mother of Haicheng was surprised and focused on controlling the green-winged insect to slow down its flight speed and land on a residential building that was mostly intact.

Then, through the olfactory organ of the green-winged insect, it captured the pheromones in the air.

It was identifying the tribes to which these insects belonged.

Although the Zerg under different queens are almost the same in terms of genes, they will emit pheromones with different smells due to the differences in the underground nests.

This is closely related to the genes of the queen, just like the primitive insects, ant colonies and bee colonies on the blue planet.

There will be competition, friction and confrontation between different tribes, and the same is true in this global queen's fourth-level promotion competition.

If there is no alliance in advance, the individual Zerg under the queen will naturally be in a hostile state.

So now a green-winged insect is hiding on the edge of the eaves, quietly investigating this group of unknown insects.

And through the identification of pheromones, the Queen of Haicheng quickly smelled a familiar smell.

This group of low-level insects exudes the breath of the Queen of Jiangbei, which is exactly the same as the smell brought back by the Zerg transport team she sent to Jiangbei.

But the problem is that the idiot who had allied with him has been confirmed to have died at the hands of humans, and his soul and body are naturally gone...

Without the Queen Mother, this group of low-level insects that have become ownerless should have wandered aimlessly in the Jiangbei area. How could they suddenly appear in the urban area of ​​Wucheng?

Or in the territory ruled by humans?

And their actions are in order, not like they have lost guidance at all.

Could it be that some human spiritual awakener used superpowers to control this group of insects?

In order to facilitate the Queen Mother's control, the spiritual attributes of the low-level insects have been castrated, and the gene sequence related to spiritual power has been sealed and cannot be activated.

Therefore, the spiritual power of mind and thought control can directly control them through mental invasion.

But the Queen Mother of Haicheng soon rejected this speculation, because in addition to the low-level insect swarms cleaning the battlefield, dozens of second-level tiger spine insects appeared not far away!

To be able to control such a large insect swarm, spread over dozens of square kilometers, requires at least the early stage of the third level of spiritual power, and it is impossible for humans to release such large and sophisticated mental abilities before killing the high-level insect swarms.

So there is only one possibility left...

That is, a certain mother queen collected these ownerless insects and then drove them into Taihu Lake. At the same time, she defined a territory on the lakeside to protect herself.

If the truth is like this, doesn't it mean that the Wucheng defenders really evacuated! ?

In an instant, the Queen Mother of Haicheng realized that she had missed the best opportunity to take over Taihu Lake!

But it's not too late!

As long as the opponent has not advanced to the mid-level third level, he still has a chance to make a comeback!

So he immediately controlled the green-winged insects to sneak back quietly to avoid being discovered by the group of insects that were digging underground nests.

At the same time, the second-level worms underground in Haicheng and the low-level black spine worm army were mobilized to rush to the battlefield in the west of the city.

When the mighty insect swarm crossed the suburbs and entered the urban area of ​​Wucheng City, they immediately encountered a fierce counterattack by the insect swarm here.

At this moment, Zhiyi was standing on the roof of the teaching building where the University City Camp was previously located, controlling tens of thousands of low-level insect swarms under his command to block the invasion of the Haicheng Zerg.

In fact, she had been hiding very well in the past two days, but this hiding could not last long. The Queen of Haicheng had been sending green-winged insects to test her.

Tens of thousands of insects hide in the corners of the ruins and will be exposed sooner or later.

So taking advantage of Lin Feng's promise to come today, he might as well take the initiative to seduce and let the Queen of Haicheng launch an attack.

At this moment, the battle between the Zergs is more bloody than attacking humans. Both sides are fighting in close quarters. From the beginning of the collision, it is a life-and-death fight.

Even though the Haicheng Zerg had been severely damaged in the previous decisive battle, the strength of its remaining Zerg swarm was still far greater than the defeated group of remnants collected by Xie Yi.

Comparing the size of the insect swarms between the two sides, the low-level insect swarm is one to three, while the second-level zerg swarm, the Haicheng zerg has a gap of five times.

The 20,000 black spine worms controlled by Xie Yi were soon overwhelmed by the black tide of black worms that poured in like a tsunami from outside the second line of defense. As many as 60,000 black spine worms entered the west of the city.

On this meat grinder-like battlefield, hundreds of tiger spine insects then appeared, destroying the remaining walls of the second line of defense to create more openings for attack.

Countless black spine worms came over from these gaps, like tigers entering a sheepfold, forming a huge fence from north to south, outflanking the low-level insect swarms under the command of the cockroaches.

Because both sides of this kind of battle are Zerg, as long as they can win, the winner takes all. Whether it is the life energy obtained by killing the opponent, or the insect corpses collected from the final cleanup of the battlefield, the winning side can soar in strength.

Therefore, after the Queen of Haicheng confirmed that the enemy was the Zerg, she immediately launched an all-out attack without sparing any effort.

It is very aware of the current situation. Only by seizing the fish biomass of Taihu Lake and seizing aquatic biological resources as soon as possible can it make up for its previous losses and return to the first sequence of this chicken-eating competition.

Otherwise, the enemy advances and we retreat...

A step back is a step back.

Therefore, the swarm of low-level insects did not last long. When hundreds of second-level tiger spine insects appeared, they stepped on the black spine insects and joined the battle, quickly tearing apart the continuously pulling battle lines...

They rode as many as a thousand, creating gaps in the front line, just like the heavy cavalry between two armies in ancient times. For a moment, they seemed to be in an insect-free state.

Looking at the retreating front line and the slight signs of collapse, Zhiyi frowned slightly. The time was now reaching 7:30 in the morning...

In the hands of the dragonfly, there are only more than 150 second-order tiger spine insects left, which can press onto the battlefield.

Once all these are completely consumed and Lin Feng has not yet arrived on the battlefield...

This means that the insect swarm hidden in the water must be mobilized to join the battle.

In this way, when Lin Feng comes, he will have to wipe out the two Zerg groups that are already fighting together.

This was not the ending she wanted.

Zhiyi is very aware of Lin Feng's special ability, which can rob Zerg corpses of their biological activity, making them lose their value for secondary use.

Therefore, the best plan is to use up the swarms of insects collected in hand, and then use Lin Feng's Salvation Army to repel the Zerg offensive in Haicheng. After the humans have cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated, they can then pick up the corpses.

In this way, not only does Zhiyi not waste any of his own soldiers, but he can also obtain double the original biomass resources, directly build a biological mother nest on the spot, and carry out recycling and reproduction.

At the same time, he will also use Lin Feng's hand to destroy the remaining insect swarms under the Queen Mother of Haicheng, achieving the goal of killing two birds with one stone!

From now on, we can firmly control the biological resources of the entire Taihu Lake and half of Jiangnan Prefecture.

In less than half a month, you will be able to advance all the way to the middle stage of the third level. By then, the Mother Queen of Haicheng will be nothing more than a meal on your plate and meat in your mouth...

It’s just a stepping stone to the late third level!

Zhi Yi's plan is flawless, and the depth of his calculations has captured the true meaning of human intrigues for thousands of years.

The only thing left is whether Lin Feng can reach the battlefield in time before the swarm of insects is consumed.

After all, the main body is only in the early stage of the third level. In addition, in order to take a detour to enter Taihu Lake and encounter Lin Feng's robbery in the early stage, the scale of the Zerg under his command is far less than that of the Haicheng Queen, who is in the middle stage of the third level.

Even if added together with the remnants of Jiangbei that had been collected, there were not as many as the 60,000 Black Ridge Insects and the 820-level Tiger Ridge Insects at the moment.

Not to mention that the Queen of Haicheng also controls the new second-order Zergs such as the Pulse Scorpion, the Tank Flame Beetle, and the Warrior Hunter, especially the last Warrior Hunter. If they join this battle, it will be a dimensionality reduction crushing...

Comparable to human genetic warriors.

So at this moment, the Queen of Haicheng is advancing, in addition to testing the strength of the enemy Zerg, but also wants to use this battle to improve the strength of her Zerg.

Anyway, the victory is in hand, and the Zerg corpses will be collected in the biological mother nest for re-refining. It is better to take this opportunity to train a group of late-stage Zerg to make up for the loss of the first and second-order cutting-edge forces in the previous Wucheng decisive battle.

With this idea in mind, the Queen of Haicheng obviously did not consider the possibility that humans would make a comeback. In its cognitive logic, even if the Wucheng decisive battle suffered heavy losses, the human defenders were also on the verge of collapse...

If it were not for the last batch of second-order awakeners who came back to help, especially the leader who took the lead, the struggling fleet would not be able to continue to hold on.

Moreover, the base camp of the human defenders behind the second line of defense in the western area of ​​Wucheng was also attacked by the Queen Mother of Haicheng...

Until Lin Feng appeared, the Queen Mother of Haicheng's attack strategy and battlefield advantage were impeccable.

Just as it was sure of victory at this moment, it pressed on a full 400 second-level tiger-spine insects, crushing the line formed by the low-level Zerg with a crushing attitude, and continued to force towards the lakeside.

Ling Yi sent out the remaining 150 or so second-level tiger-spine insects to fight against the enemy's rush.

The tiger-spine insects, which were all over 20 meters in size, burst out with a collision force of tens of tons, and the giant jaws of both sides crossed and clamped together, sparking dazzling sparks.

But the Haicheng Zerg, which was nearly three times the number of the defenders, relied on the advantage of numbers to fight two to one, or even three to one, with more people fighting fewer. The free members could sneak attack the stalemate opponents, and use the ten-meter-long giant jaws to bite the enemy's limbs and torso...

Such one-sided dismemberment is constantly taking place.

Fortunately, Longyi's position is closer to the battlefield. Although his spiritual attribute is far inferior to that of the Haicheng Queen in the middle stage of the third stage, his precision in controlling the Zerg swarm is far superior to that of the other party.

Distance is an important factor affecting the strength of spiritual power, otherwise the Zerg Queen would not be so difficult to kill.

At this moment, Longyi fully utilized the guerrilla strategy he learned from Lin Feng. He first used a hundred or so second-stage tiger spine insects to delay the opponent's attacking force, and then controlled the remaining fifty tiger spine insects, divided into ten teams, and attacked the scattered enemies with a numerical advantage of five in each team.

As long as he can kill faster than the opponent, he can evacuate before being surrounded and continue to look for the next target.

Of course, those who can do this kind of micro-control must have a real-time view of the entire map.

And Longyi, standing on the top of the high-rise building, happened to have it.

But the absolute advantage in the number of Haicheng Zerg cannot be completely eliminated by guerrilla warfare.

As the Queen Mother of Haicheng discovered that the situation was not right, she began to send the warrior hunters hidden behind the second line of defense to the battlefield to pursue...

Lingyi's delaying strategy gradually failed as the warrior hunters encircled and suppressed the remaining tiger spine insects.

Until more than forty minutes later...

The last team of five tiger spine insects died under the siege of fifteen warrior hunters, and the situation on the field began to collapse one-sidedly.

A large number of black spine insect swarms were directly wrapped up and trapped by the stranglehold of the Haicheng Zerg.

The Queen Mother of Haicheng did not intend to let them go, and she was even unwilling to seize mental control and use them for her own benefit. Instead, she was prepared to use their death to pave the way for the promotion of her Zerg.

Lingyi, who knew that she could not save the situation, directly released the control of the remaining tens of thousands of black spine insects and concentrated her energy on the swarms on the lake shore behind her.

This was her last asset.

Just as the black-backed insect swarm on the field was about to be completely wiped out, the entire Wucheng West District, nearly 100 square kilometers, was covered with black and yellow insect corpses...

And the Queen Mother of Haicheng had already commanded the tiger-backed insects and warrior hunting insects in the front row to step into the university town camp and attack the Taihu Lake waterside nearby...

There was only a row of rumbling artillery sounds!

It came from a distance with a sharp whistle!

Sitting on the red beetle and preparing to escape, Longyi suddenly looked back...

The flames and fragments ignited by the violent explosion behind her, the impact wave blew her long hair, and the pupils in her eyes reflected the distant horizon,

a row of super fleets appeared!

However, just when Longyi was stunned, a warrior hunting insect that tracked and found her, flapped its membrane wings on its back, and flew into the air...

Raised four sickles and attacked her directly!
