Chapter 599 The Hidden Fleet
The violent explosion blew up a huge deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters on the ground. Countless soil was thrown into the air and blocked the sight of Li Mingze and others.
When the dust cleared, Li Mingze and others saw that there were dozens of underground passages under this huge bomb crater.
Yunisa's face froze. These passages meant that most of the Zerg had moved underground, which could also explain why they saw so few Zerg in the city.
This also means that the people hiding in the underground shelter are probably in danger!
"What are the Zerg trying to do? There are no important resources underground on this planet, and there are no troops on this planet." Li Mingze looked at the passage under his feet in confusion.
"Your Majesty, this tunnel is the widest. I suspect this is their main road. Why don't we follow this passage to see what it ends at." Stowa pointed to a huge hole with a diameter of 30 meters not far from the bomb crater and said to Li Mingze.
Everyone controlled the jet seat and rushed towards the hole. After a few breaths, the seat landed smoothly on the underground passage dug by the Zerg.
Unlike what Li Mingze and others thought, the ground of this passage was covered with a layer of unknown mucus, making the ground of the passage extremely smooth.
"Go, go, go." Li Mingze, who was walking in front, saw that Yunisa was a little hesitant and hurriedly urged.
Yunisa, who was a little scared, gritted her teeth and followed Li Mingze and others into the dark passage.
Along the way, everyone only dared to use the night vision function on the helmet, and no one dared to turn on the lights on the main passage of the Zerg.
Everyone's body was covered with the flesh and blood of the insects to cover up the human breath.
Suddenly, a vibration came from the front of the passage, and Li Mingze hurriedly made a stop gesture, indicating that everyone stopped.
As the vibration became stronger and stronger, a sound like waves came from not far away.
"Everyone go to the top of the passage!" Li Mingze shouted and reached out to insert his hands into the compacted soil on both sides of the passage and crawled towards the top of the passage.
Others hurriedly followed Li Mingze's example and climbed to the top of both sides of the passage.
When they looked down at the ground of the passage, they saw an endless sea of insects coming from the front of the passage like a tide.
These insects pressed their bellies against the ground, and the limbs on both sides of their bodies slid on the ground like oars. In this way, all the insects slid forward quickly with the help of the mucus on the ground.
In a blink of an eye, the place where everyone was standing was submerged by the sea of insects. Yunisa couldn't help swallowing her saliva. If she hadn't hidden in time just now, she should have been submerged by the sea of insects now, and she would definitely be eaten to pieces!
"Everyone, don't do anything, just wait for these insects to pass!" Li Mingze whispered in the communication channel. At this time, any abnormality might be discovered by these insects.
Thanks to the good stealth performance of the power armor and a layer of Zerg flesh and blood on their bodies, Li Mingze and his companions were not discovered by the swarm of insects that passed by quickly.
After more than 40 minutes, the Zerg swarm disappeared at the end of the passage. Li Mingze and others couldn't help but sighed. In the past 40 minutes, at least 300,000 Zergs had passed by!
"The number of Zerg soldiers on this planet is definitely not as small as we know! The soldiers they deployed on this planet must be far beyond our expectations!" Li Mingze said to the team members with a serious face.
"We will know what conspiracy the Zerg has when we reach the top of the passage." Stowa nodded and jumped down from the height first.
Everyone let go and fell to the ground, and walked quickly to the front of the passage. However, the road was too slippery, which greatly interfered with everyone's speed.
After walking for a while, Li Mingze and others simply learned to slide on the ground like the Zerg.
Everyone lay on the ground, with their legs stacked and raised, and a gap between their legs was exposed to observe the situation ahead.
Everyone used their hands to push hard on the ground, and the eleven people began to slowly accelerate and slide forward.
As time went by, everyone's movements became more and more skilled, and the speed of sliding became faster and faster. The eleven people moved forward quickly in the passage, and the walls on both sides of the passage quickly passed by.
Fortunately, although they encountered several waves of Zerg seas along the way, they were all avoided by climbing up the passage.
After walking and stopping for several hours, everyone finally saw a light at the end of the passage.
Li Mingze and others stopped sliding and walked forward instead. As they got closer and closer to the end of the passage, the blue sky with white clouds appeared in front of them.
"It seems that the passage leads to the outside, not to the underground base of the Zerg." Stowa shrugged and said to Li Mingze.
"Hush" Li Mingze made a silent gesture and walked carefully to the end of the passage.
When he turned his eyes to the outside, he saw the Zerg transport ships that could not be seen at a glance.
These transport ships were densely parked in a huge basin that was originally an ocean, and countless Zergs were shuttling between these transport ships.
At the same time, a large number of Zerg warships appeared from the clouds in the sky and flew to the ground in the distance.
"This" Yunisa and others followed, and they opened their mouths wide when they saw the scene outside.
"Why didn't our warships in orbit discover these warships?" Stowa asked Li Mingze softly.
"How do I know? The number of Zerg that can be transported by so many warships is definitely not a small number. It may be hundreds of millions, or even billions or tens of billions!" Li Mingze shook his head and muttered to himself.
"Release the drone for reconnaissance!" Li Mingze turned and ordered a soldier.
The soldier took out a metal rod from behind his back. The metal rod began to slowly reshape under the gaze of everyone, and soon a small drone appeared in front of everyone.
As Li Mingze set the route, the drone took off into the distance.
I don't know if it's because the drone's stealth system is too good or the Zerg is unwilling to pay attention to such a small thing, no Zerg intercepted the drone.
The drone quickly passed the Zerg transport fleet and flew into the sky, but when it left the ground at an altitude of 100 kilometers, it found that these warships could not be found through the scanner.
"These warships seem to release some kind of position when they are parked, which allows them to be invisible within 100 kilometers!" Stoeva reported to Li Mingze while looking at the data of the drone.
"Order the drone to lower its altitude and count the Zerg warships that have landed on this planet!" Li Mingze nodded and replied.
