Chapter 224: The Mysterious Man Arrives with the Insect Tide

Facing the insect tide, all the soldiers guarding the insect sound discriminator frowned. | Sanba Literature

Because they had never seen such a terrifying insect tide - both in quality and quantity.

The phantom screen of the insect sound discriminator was already full of light spots representing insects, filling the screen into a shining ocean.

And through the adjustment of the insect power channel, they found that there were actually a large number of high-intestine power insects mixed in these insects.

Among them, there were actually many guys with insect power reaching or even exceeding 100. [

When they reported this situation to the legion commander, all the legion commanders became solemn, and they immediately issued the highest defense order.

"Launch the ground-to-ground missiles!"

With the orders of the legion commanders, missiles flew out like raindrops, flying towards the insect tide 20 kilometers away. At this time, no one considered how such a large-scale guided rain would damage the outside environment. Everyone was just worried that they could not kill enough insects so that the soldiers would be less stressed in close combat later.

The guided rain soon fell to a distance of 20 kilometers, setting off a circle of circular explosion nets in the distance. Even though they were 20 kilometers away, the people on the military side could still hear the explosions from afar. The reason was simple - the explosions were too dense.

On the phantom screen of the insect sound discriminator, the light spots representing insects were rapidly decreasing, and soon returned to the quiet state at the beginning. But this quietness did not last long, and new light spots filled the entire screen again.

Another round of guided rain flew out and fell 20 kilometers away, 18 kilometers away, 15 miles away... They cleared the light spots on the phantom screen again and again, but the light spots stubbornly occupied the phantom screen again and again. Finally, the insect tide advanced to a place less than 10 kilometers away from the city defense with an attitude of not fearing heroic sacrifice.

The guided rain stopped, partly because it was too expensive to maintain, and partly because the insect tide was too close to the city defense.

The explosion at this distance would certainly not threaten the city defense, but it would greatly damage the environment around the city defense, which was something the military side did not want to see.

Soon after, long-range flames began to roar. Although this medium-range weapon can also damage the ground, the degree is much weaker than that of missiles, so the military district does not care.

The insect tide continued to advance, and finally passed the rain of artillery and came close, so the machine guns began to roar again.

Lu Jin and Shen Zheng sat in the command center of the headquarters, frowning and staring at the images outside the city on the huge phantom screen.

"How could there be such a large-scale insect tide? It almost surrounded the military district..." Lu Jin said to himself in astonishment. | Sanba Literature

"Where is the commander-in-chief? When can he come back?" Shen Zheng asked Lu Jin.

"It's too late to contact him now." Lu Jin shook his head, "and he can't come back easily-a few days ago, our outer scouts discovered a very terrible insect tide, and the leader was actually a worm at the level of a worm melter. In order to ensure that the military district is not invaded by this insect tide, he went to solve it first."

"A worm at the level of a worm melter?" Shen Zheng was shocked.

"I think the current insect tide may be related to that one." Lu Jin frowned and punched the table. "Damn it, such a large insect tide, why couldn't we find it before?"

"Thanks to Xue Su." Shen Zheng looked back at Xue Su standing behind him, and Lu Jin also turned his head and smiled gratefully at Xue Su.

"The flying insect tide is coming! They are invading from the east and west."

Just then, the soldier in charge of guarding the insect sound discriminator in the command center shouted loudly. [

"Immediately notify the fighter formation to meet the enemy!" Lu Jin gave the order in a deep voice.

Soon, the fighter formations like a flock of birds took off from the airports of the military region and headed towards the insect swarm in the air. Before meeting the opponent, the pilots first fired the aviation missiles on the fighters, and created a ring of explosion belts in the distant sky.

Such dense explosions made the airflow in the air turbulent, forming various winds of varying sizes.

Part of the fleet immediately returned to the base, reloaded the aerial missiles, and then took off again, firing into the distance. The few anti-aircraft missile defense systems on the ground also started to operate, firing anti-aircraft missiles into the distance, but because of the small number, they could not pose any fatal threat to the huge insect tide.

After several rounds of missile launches, the insect swarm had reached the close combat distance. The fighters fired all the missiles and no longer returned to the ground to reload, but rushed directly to the insect swarm, pouring their aircraft cannons on the opponent in the air.

One by one, powerful flying insects fell from the sky, but from time to time, fighters also fell from the sky with smoke.

"We must take action." Lu Jin frowned, "It is impossible to effectively suppress the flying insect tide by relying on those insect controllers alone. You and Xue Su go to the west, and I will go to the east. As long as we release the pressure there, we can effectively contain the flying insect swarm and make them dare not easily enter the military area."

As he spoke, he stood up quickly.

Shen Zheng nodded, and left the command center with Xue Su, flying a fighter jet directly to the west side of the military region.

Soon they arrived at the defense zone on the west side of the military district. Looking out from the plane, they could see the fierce battle in the air in the distance. Shen Zheng looked solemn, and released the powerful pressure of the Insect Melter without reservation, using the pressure to cover the defense line in front of him as much as possible, and then moved back and forth along the outer defense line on the west side, spreading the pressure along the western defense line.

And below, the legion commanders guarding the city also began to release their insect controller pressure, and cooperated with Shen Zheng to lay a shaped pressure defense line on the western defense line. Some flying insects bypassed the interception of the fighter group and flew here, but they trembled and retreated far away in front of the shaped pressure, and did not dare to rush in.

Not only the flying insects, but also the close-range combat on the ground has begun. Not only the legion commander, but also the reserve generals have joined the battle. They released the pressure as much as possible and used it to lay a line of defense. Those powerful insects encountered this terrifying pressure, and they hesitated one by one and were torn into pieces by the machine.

But those more powerful insects with a hundred or more insect power stared and let out a terrifying roar, rushing forward and releasing their own breath. This breath fought against the pressure of the insect controllers, giving the ordinary insects behind them room to breathe, and also knocked away the pressure, so that the fear of ordinary insects gradually disappeared, and rushed forward with them.

The insect controllers had to get busy. They drove fighter planes and ran between the major defense cities, pouring down the guns transformed by their insect power, and smashed the insects with a hundred or more insect power into pieces.

They all knew that if such bugs were allowed to rush to the nearby area, most of the soldiers would become their victims, so since they were so busy, they did not dare to stop easily.

So one after another, the bug controller-class fighters kept shuttling and cruising over the major defense cities. No bug controller could sit in the command room and issue orders without doing anything himself.

On the contrary, they had handed over some of the command power to their trusted adjutants or formation leaders, and they had to rush around to act as the vanguard of the battle.

Seeing all this, Shen Zheng could not help but sigh.

The advantage of quality must reach a certain level to form a complete suppression, otherwise it will still be defeated by quantity.

What is the strongest weapon of the Zerg? It is quantity. Because of their huge number, they will never be extinct in front of the powerful weapons of humans. After each insect tide, they can quickly accumulate a huge army, change a new insect tide within a few months, and stop forever.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and vaguely thought of a possibility.

Perhaps the most favorite place for insects is just underground. They have no attachment or desire for the world above ground. It is just that because they reproduce too fast, they often make the underground world in a saturated state, so they form a consuming attack wave such as insect tide. [

Isn't it?

Shen Zheng thought carefully and found that in any fatal insect tide in history that he knew, humans were only the objects of killing, not "food".

Yes, although insects will bite human bodies and swallow them, it is just a way of killing. Every city destroyed by insect tide will leave a large number of human corpses. The insects do not eat them all or take them away as food, they just kill them.

Why is this?

Shen Zheng did not think about it carefully in the past, but now he understands.

The food of insects may be just insects.

They live in the underground world and do not want to come to the sunny ground because they don't like it here, just like humans don't like darkness. They live underground and live a life of the survival of the fittest. The strong rely on powerful strength, while the weak rely on rapid reproduction.

After all, the underground world is limited. When the number of insects reaches a certain level, it is a disaster. In order to alleviate this "population crisis", the Zerg has evolved the consumption skill of "insect tide".

"Exiling" the excess to the ground and letting humans complete the task of elimination is really the fastest and most economical solution.

Shen Zheng thought while observing the insect tide in front of him, and then couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

What kind of huge insect hole would produce so many excess "populations"?

Moreover, he looked carefully during the cruise, and after scanning with supersensory power, he was surprised to find that these insects definitely did not come from the same insect hole.

Because he found that there would be an inconspicuous but real "dividing line" between these insect tides. At first glance, it seems that the insect tide is connected, but if you look closely, especially with supersensory power, you will find that they are actually divided into different lines. Between each insect tide, there will be a linear space with regular or irregular "dividing lines" with a spacing of about half a meter.

The insects at both ends of this "dividing line", even if they are of the same type, have great differences in appearance and smell, which shows that they did not grow up in the same environment.

This must be a swarm of insects formed by the concentration of several large insect holes! Shen Zheng made a conclusion in his mind.

But why did such a strange and terrifying swarm of insects form?

As he was thinking this, more than a dozen people wearing the same clothes appeared in the center of the 12th Military Region. The leader looked at the empty street and smiled.

"Brothers, kill as much as you want!"
