Chapter 48 The King Insect's Appearance and Rescue (New book, please collect! Please recommend!
In the depths of the dense jungle, six young men with scabby feet all over their bodies were running for their lives.
Suddenly, several hoppers pounced on them. One of the men at the end of the team was caught off guard and was grabbed by the thigh. The sharp mouthparts opened and bit the man, tearing the man's leg protection and skin apart.
"Ah! Damn it..."
Bang, bang, bang!
He raised his pistol and fired several shots. The hopper twitched a few times and stopped moving. Seeing this, his companions immediately pulled the hopper's body off. Looking at the deep wounds that could be seen through the bones...
"Bandage it quickly!"
"Uh... It's too late. We have to retreat quickly."
As he spoke, the man stood up with the help of his companions and looked at the others.
They were all injured to varying degrees. Four of the six held blast shields and homemade spears, and two held guns, but...
"Swish~"
A magnetic electric flying insect suddenly flew out, and the young man hurriedly fired several more shots to knock it down, but in doing so, his magazine was completely empty.
"Bullets!"
"No more, this is all the live ammunition I brought out of the police academy."
"Damn, are we going to die here..."
"No, the people outside the forest must have heard the gunshots, and they will definitely notify Senior Ying to bring a team to rescue us, we have to hold on."
"Even if you say so..."
The young man looked around and saw black shadows flashing in the jungle. They were surrounded!
That was a group of well-trained Zerg hunters, who could get rid of the people who were already trapped in the encirclement at any time. As for why they didn't do it...
Bang, bang, bang~
The ground trembled slightly, and four huge monsters wrapped in black shells squeezed through the branches and walked out. They were the 'giant horned beetles' that Lin Yun had detected before.
They formed a circle, front, back, left, and right. The gaps on the ground were filled with a large number of burrowing hoppers, and there were dense magnetic flying insects in the sky.
Such a big battle was just to protect a special existence in the Zerg.
Gurgle~
The bloated body rolled slowly. It was a worm that was no more than half a meter long, or... a larva!
Hundreds of small-scale swarms spread out with it as the center, as if guards were protecting the "princess", and the identity of this larva was about to be revealed.
It was the king larvae that the Zerg had placed in various worlds!
After all, no matter how strong the Zerg infected with Zerg genes were, they were just a pile of loose sand at best. If they wanted to quickly expand the power of the Zerg during the Sealed Period, they needed such a leader!
At present, the Zerg are migrating, evolving, and building nests, in order to continuously transform their genes with the king worms, so that they and their descendants can be influenced by the Zerg genes and evolve into real Zerg.
To this end, they need to hunt for the king worm larvae, obtain energy, and evolve into real king worms, or even queen worms!
However, the so-called energy does not refer to conventional food, but mainly fresh superpowers.
The king worm larvae can sense that among the six people, one of them has a powerful superpower, which is exactly what it needs. For this reason, it chooses to let the swarm give up hunting and besiege instead.
At present, the "special weapons" in their hands have no ammunition. As long as the extra troubles are solved, the fragile king worm larvae can eat with peace of mind.
So the signal was sent, and the magnetic flying insects and digging springtails slowly surrounded them, pointing their spearheads directly at the ordinary humans.
"Captain... Captain, what do they mean by this?"
"There is no way, prepare to break through by force, I will cover you later."
As he said, the injured young man raised his burnt palm, and the heat energy in it condensed, as if sparks burst out.
Seeing this, everyone was anxious.
"Captain, Senior Ying said that your abilities are not mature yet. If you use your abilities rashly, you will burn yourself to death!"
"I don't care about that anymore!"
The superpowers condensed, and the magnetic electric flying insects that sensed the danger immediately became alert, and even burst out dense electric sparks to paralyze it.
But at this moment, a strange figure fell from the sky.
Insect!
Yes, it is an insect, but it has no flesh and blood, instead it has a blue shell and a metal body.
Coming to the top of everyone's head, the magnetic electric flying insect 004 flashed arcs on its body, and at the same time issued bursts of piercing insect chirps.
"Shh~"
As soon as this sound came out, the surrounding magnetic electric flying insects and digging springtails all retreated, because they sensed a signal, which was similar to the "retreat" order issued by the king insect.
004 was imitating the king insect to give orders!
Hearing this, the partially intelligent King Worm larva was stunned. It didn't expect that a mere magnetic electric flying insect dared to forge the "King's Order" in front of it!
In anger, it was about to command its insect swarm to tear it apart, but at this moment...
Bang!
A loud noise came from somewhere, and then the King Worm larva's body exploded into a transparent liquid on the ground. On the ground, the bullets that passed through directly penetrated into it.
"Ah!"
The King Worm was attacked, and the four guards of the giant horned beetle hurriedly contracted the defense line. What was surprising was that even though the body was blown apart, the broken body of the King Worm larva was constantly recovering and issued a warning insect chirp.
Observing this scene from a distance with a sniper scope, Lin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Not dead?"
Bang!
Another shot!
The shock wave spread by the bullet shook the leaves apart, and then directly hit the body of the giant horned beetle that served as the King Worm's shield.
Lin Yun originally wanted to use the powerful penetration of the electromagnetic sniper rifle to directly penetrate the protection and hit the king worm, but he didn't expect...
"Ah!"
After a roar, the giant horned beetle was severely injured, but it did not die. In addition, it blocked the bullet that would have hit the king worm.
"It seems that the β75 made of beta-like metal cannot exert its full power."
Lin Yun sighed. Although the assassination of the king worm failed, it didn't matter.
After all, the Zerg has released millions of king worms. It doesn't matter whether he can kill this one or not. Anyway, they will fight with their own swarms and finally compete for a "queen worm" to lead the army.
On the contrary, this shot hit the king worm, and thousands of Zerg were instantly enraged. The attacking insects sounded, and they instantly locked the direction of the sound.
In an instant, the mighty Zerg army chased out, and at the same time, the violent Zerg also wanted to kill the trapped young people immediately.
"Oops!"
Although they didn't understand what just happened, everyone thought they were dead.
But just when they were desperate, they noticed the strange mechanical flying insect.
"Swish~"
The insects chirped, and the magnetic flying insects that tried to get close were actually scared back by the mechanical body, as if the king insect was in front. At the same time, several withered figures jumped out, and the burrowing insects 006 and 007 came to help.
They roared to scare away the insect swarm, and the seriously injured king insect was escorted away by the giant horned beetle. They didn't care about these guys pretending to be themselves, except...
"Ah!"
As a high-level Zerg, the giant horned beetle left behind stared at these strange mechanical Zergs.
Realizing that the signal he forged could not deceive him, the magnetic flying insect 004 directly disintegrated to reveal the core drive inside, and automatically buckled on the young man who released the flames. He was confused.
"What's going on?"
[Unit identified: Zhou Tai, armed unlocked]
Two hoppers jumped out in response, and the gene capsules behind them ejected into the grooves of the launcher.
[Gene capsule 'hopper' detected, armed upgraded]
Bang bang bang!
004, 006, 007 disintegrated instantly.
They formed breastplate, head armor, and leg armor respectively!
For a moment, the young man named Zhou Tai only felt a burst of pain from the extraction of his superpowers, and at the same time, he also discovered the power in his body.
The yellow and blue weapons covered everyone in amazement.
"Captain, you still have this trick!"
"No... It's not me, I don't know."
Zhou Tai was talking when he suddenly heard a pleasant female voice.
"Take your people and run in the opposite direction, there is support there, and I will help you lead the bugs away."
Although he didn't know where the voice came from, and why it wanted to help him.
But in the desperate situation, Zhou Tai couldn't care so much, and he just threw his hands.
After revealing his sharp electric claws, he shouted to the others, "Run back, I'll cover you!"
