Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Dundee's eloquence, Sheyan and Mogansha suddenly understood, no wonder the situation on Planet P is so weird. Obviously, when humans meet Zerg, the two sides will probably fight. However, if there are no alien races, both the humans and the Zerg are obviously at odds with each other, and there is a sense of fighting on their own, obviously hoping that the other party will rush to the street as soon as possible.
Mogansha suddenly said:
"Then all human bases are built on Pandora's veins?"
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee nodded:
"All Zerg bases are like this."
Sheyan suddenly interjected:
"What do the Zerg need these ores for?"
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee coughed violently, and then said:
"Only with the help of the energy inside the ore, can they survive and reproduce—intuitively speaking, the Pandora superconducting crystal ore is like the bread we must eat every day, while the food harvested by the Zerg hunting is more like Salad dressing, a condiment like cream."
"Wow, so these bugs think that our salad dressing can find more bread for them?" Mogansha interjected.
"No." Lieutenant Colonel Dundee said seriously: "This swarm called Blackthorn is very lucky. They have already found their own Christmas meal-it is a Pandora mine with amazing reserves-to be intuitive, The reserve of this mineral deposit alone is one-tenth of the proven known reserves of the entire planet P, enough for this swarm to mine for ten years—when their brain worms are frantically absorbing power to grow and develop the entire tribe A very unfortunate thing happened: the three nearby swarms that felt threatened and were jealous joined forces to launch an attack on the Blackthorn tribe! This behavior is actually quite common among the Zerg that advocates preying on the weak."
"The end of this attack is that although the blackthorn swarm was once attacked to the mother nest in the core hinterland and suffered heavy casualties, it relied on the strong recovery ability brought by a large amount of Pandora energy crystal reserves to continuously hatch new troops. , dragging the two attacking swarms alive to death! And the brain worms of the two swarms were also directly plundered, and were swallowed by the brain worms of the blackthorn tribe."
"Brain worm?" Mogansha wondered, "What is that?"
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee said seriously:
"It is similar to the existence of the queen bee and queen bee in ants and bee colonies. Its ability is completely focused on controlling the development and evolution of the entire insect colony. It has a very powerful mind ability. To put it simply, it belongs to the entire insect colony The brain of the swarm. The mother of the black thorns that hijacked us is in charge of reproduction and some basic functions-of course, there is only one brain worm in a swarm. If there is a second head, then the two brain worms will either devour each other , or the whole swarm will split into two parts."
Fang Senyan pondered and digested the materials that Lieutenant Colonel Dundee brought to him, but he heard Lieutenant Colonel Dundee continue:
"When the brain worms of the black thorn worm group absorbed the rest of the brain worms and fell into an advanced sleep, the remaining thick liquid tribe gathered all the remaining power at this time, and in one fell swoop from the A suicidal raid was launched from all directions! Because the defense force of the blackthorn swarm was still being repaired at this time, the thick liquid tribe successfully used an elite force to break through the center and snatched the sleeping brain worm blackthorn , making this tribe fall into a leaderless situation, and can only rely on instinctive defensive power for protection."
(Some people may not understand the function of the brain worm above. To use a metaphor, the mother of the black thorn is equivalent to your main base nest when you choose Zerg to play interstellar. And the brain worm is equivalent to sitting in front of the computer to control you Myself. If you are captured, the various defensive facilities in the base will still function, and the patrol/offensive troops you set up before will also carry out defense and attack according to the previous instructions and instincts. But that rigidity may Imagine)
"Now every day, the thick liquid tribe will mobilize newly hatched troops to attack a part of the base in an attempt to find a breakthrough and occupy this Pandora crystal rich mine as soon as possible. The main function of the mother of black thorns is to reproduce rather than fight and Decision-making, its mental power can only command less than one-third of the new production troops in the base to fight at the same time, and it is relatively dull in tactics. So after she found out that we were fighting with the thick liquid tribe, she did not kill us , but hope to use our strength to fight against the thick liquid tribe! Once the mother of the black thorn is killed, the thick liquid tribe can easily control all the facilities and buildings here, and we are also dead."
"Wait!" Sheyan suddenly said, "There is a very important question, where is the brain worm of the Blackthorn tribe? I noticed that it was hijacked, not killed."
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee was startled and said, "I don't know about this, but he was indeed hijacked."
At this time, the hearts of all the people present throbbed, and then the voice of the mother of the black thorn sounded:
"The magic juice is still alive. After it devoured two brain worms, it has reached the basic conditions for successfully promoting to the black iron level lord! Even if it failed to advance, its strength is at least two or three times that of the thick liquid brain worm. The devouring of space is not the kind of plundering of the body as you imagined, but a plundering of the level of spiritual power. Not only will the brain worms of the thick liquid tribe not kill it, but they will try their best to protect the safety and integrity of its body , that weak worm will definitely imprison the magic juice and slowly consume its mental power, and then start to attack with its own brainwaves after it is exhausted, trying to swallow it slowly, because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, So this process will last for more than 120 hours."
Fang Senyan did some calculations. In this way, the brain worm magic juice can survive for at least two to three days... His thoughts began to spin rapidly.
Suddenly, an indescribably deep sound came from the entire base, the sound was like the "booming" sound of an airplane passing through the high-altitude clouds, and the dozen or so survivors suddenly jumped up together, quickly He threw himself on the weapon, and then began to put on the combat armor, obviously preparing for battle. Although all of them have injuries, their movements are still quite flexible. Mogansha was startled and said:
"What, there is a fight?"
"GOGOGO!" Lieutenant Colonel Dundee and the soldiers were already yelling. He also put on his combat armor, picked up a standard C-14 "penetrating" electromagnetic rifle, turned his head and said: "Boys, you first Take a break, we're going to kick the asses of the attacking worms."
Mogansha was about to speak, when a few elite swift beasts with a particularly strong and gigantic size sprang out from the side. Mixed with this group of humans, they sprinted up very violently. Mogansha couldn't ask, even if he wanted to. He looked at Sheyan:
"What should we do now?"
Sheyan said decisively:
"Of course we follow up, at least to ensure that Lieutenant Colonel Dundee will not die. If we can get the mission from him, then at least we don't have to worry about destroying the regiment over there and we will be forcibly kicked out of this world."
The two quickly followed their forward route, and along the way, they saw a large number of purple-red organic buildings, or organs. It was covered with veins and blood vessels as thick as arms, and also secreted various viscous liquids, making a gurgling sound, and there was also a strange smell floating in the air.
And the biggest core building among them is the place called "Mother's Nest" by human beings. It looks like a majestic hill of flesh and blood, but it is as high as five or six floors, covering an area of more than one kilometer, and its surface is covered with There are hundreds of millstone-sized purple-red six-legged beetles digging on the nearby rocky mountain with their mouthparts sticking out of the extremely thick purple-red veins, and then they pick up the crystals stored in them, and walk non-stop between the mother nest and the rocky mountain .
These beetles have unique mouthparts. They spray acid to melt the hard rock, and then use two well-developed mouthparts to crush the rock, dig out the crystals and accumulate them in one place. In addition, the crystals There is also a yellow-green associated mineral called rare GAS collected by them. This thing is not like a crystal to the Zerg. It cannot survive without a necessity, but it is a key factor for their transformation and advancement. According to the information obtained by Sheyan, this is the Zerg production force called "Drone". The combat power of these guys is very weak, but the importance must be placed above all arms.
There are seven or eight huge "beast dens" distributed around the mother's nest. The shape of the animal dens is exactly the same as that of the mother's nest, but they are not small in size and size. They have only one function, and that is to reproduce the embryonic larvae-this thing is similar to an embryo, which can hatch various types of Zerg according to the hormones and energy injected from the brood-when the brood is destroyed, it may also be produced by the rest After a long period of development, a certain lair in the nest takes over the function of the brood. Usually, the mother nest can produce more than fifteen embryogenic larvae per hour, while the ordinary den can only produce about five.
The sound of fierce battle was heard not far from the mother's nest. Fang Sheyan and the others immediately trot forward. Along the way, they saw a large number of Zerg troops standing still, completely oblivious to the fierce battle that was only 500 meters away at most. I feel that this is obviously the disadvantage of losing the brain worm.
