Abathur evolved a two-part mobility assistance system for cockroaches.
The first part of this system is usually used for marching. This part of the system will cause the cockroach to be affected by hormones secreted from special glands in the brain during the movement. This hormone will quickly activate the cockroach's action organization, thus making the cockroach
Able to quickly increase movement speed while moving.
In other words, the longer you run, the faster you move, but if you stop moving, the secretion of this hormone will also stop.
Moreover, cockroaches have still not lost their ability to dig underground. This hormone will also take effect when digging underground.
However, when cockroaches encounter combat, this part of the system usually cannot function to its fullest because it takes a long time to prepare.
At this time, the second part of Abathur's evolved mobility assistance system can come in handy.
Abathur evolved two symmetrical jet cavities in the vacant structural parts of the cockroach after the armor was removed. The gas ejected from these two jet cavities can assist the cockroach in long-distance jumping.
Now cockroaches can jump directly into the battlefield during battle, and then use the extra spikes on their bodies to cut the enemy troops near the landing site into countless pieces.
Then, they can use their heavy armor to kill the enemy.
To put it simply, cockroaches have two more skills, one passive and one active.
The passive skill can make the cockroach move faster and faster, and the active skill can make the cockroach jump up and directly smash into the enemy group. It is a bit like the Soviet army in "Red Alert 3", a game that Xue Hua played before time travel.
The active skill of "Sickle Mecha".
This skill not only gives cockroaches the ability to dash forward in combat, but also gives them the ability to jump over some terrain obstacles.
Overall, Xue Hua is quite satisfied with the evolution of cockroaches this time.
But when he moved his eyes to the two vesicles in front of Abathur, he knew that Abathur had not finished speaking.
Sure enough, after a slight pause, Abathur immediately began to introduce the two essences in his hand.
It first lifted the ball of petroleum-like essence, used its arthropods to remove the vesicles protecting the essence, and then sucked the essence into a needle-shaped arthropod and injected it into the body of the cockroach in front of it.
The cockroach hissed shrilly, and its body was quickly wrapped in a thick layer of horny egg shells. It immediately laid eggs on the spot and began to evolve.
"The first option - Exterminator, exterminator evolution, removes the acid production system in the cockroach's body, and uses the excess body structure to evolve the sickle joints on the carapace and enhance the weight of the armor and the load-bearing capacity of the limbs.
The arthropod tissue on the back of the extinct has evolved into a bone plate shape, which can be closed at the front of the body. After the bone plates are closed, they form a 'V' shaped collision angle. The edges of the bone plates are equipped with serrations and bone spurs. The height of the bone plate is the same as that of the extinct.
When the bone plates are closed, the exterminator can still observe the front units through the special eye structure on the upper part of the bone plates.
The Exterminator retains and strengthens the cockroach's self-healing physique. The Exterminator's horny armor has been further strengthened. The Exterminator can still dig, but can no longer dig underground. The Exterminator no longer has the ability to spray acid. The Exterminator retains the jet of the new type of cockroach.
hole, but the position is moved to the tail.
When gas is ejected from the fumarole, the Exterminator's enhanced limb structure allows it to ram towards its target at extremely fast speeds.
The 'V'-shaped bone plates that close together will prevent the Exterminator from being injured in a collision.
Once close to the target, the Exterminator will be able to use the high-speed ejection limbs under the bone plate to cut the target into several pieces.
The Exterminators will be the best protectors and vanguard for the swarm forces fighting in confined areas."
As Abathur spoke, the egg transformed from the cockroach in front of him beat faster and faster, and finally exploded with a bang. One was larger than the cockroach, and its body was covered with extremely thick, hard, and horny bone armor covered with sharp thorns.
The monster appeared in front of Xue Hua.
This thing has very thick arthropod legs, and under its body, there are two relatively curved symmetrical sickle arthropods.
On the back of this giant beast, the original two sickle-shaped joints of the cockroach turned into two thick bone plates studded with spikes and sharp bone blades. These bone plates are almost as thick as two adult fists. Normally,
They are all gathered at the top of the carapace.
When the exterminator needs it, these two bone plates can quickly move in front of it and close together to form a sharp "V" shaped collision angle structure.
Then, the Exterminator only needs to fight all the way through this dangerous collision angle. Basically, even things several times larger than it will be knocked to the ground by it.
After that, the pair of sickle-shaped arthropods on the exterminator's abdomen will quickly extend from the slightly raised horn, and then chop at the enemy lying on the ground.
This thing is equivalent to a biological impact hammer.
And because of the two bone plates and the reinforced thick armor, the exterminator is very heavy. If some small creatures are accidentally hit by it and stepped on...
It would be an extremely bloody scene.
Xue Hua thought for a moment, then nodded, already almost understanding the usage of this new unit.
Then he nodded towards Abathur, signaling it to start introducing the next evolution option.
Abathur waved his arthropods, and the cockroach that had evolved into an exterminator walked aside, while another cockroach crawled out of a hole in the back and walked to Abathur.
After Abathur injected the molten essence into the new cockroach as before, the cockroach also laid eggs on the spot and started to pulsate slightly.
"Second option - Destroyer, Destroyer mutation, refer to the inspiration obtained from the memory of the master, make slight changes, strengthen the corrosive bile into burning bile, and change the firing method, from pure large arc shooting method to flat/curved
It is adjustable, but it sacrifices the oral spraying ability and weakens the armor to improve the launch efficiency of the weapon system. It is purely a long-range tactical unit and needs to be protected by insect swarms when used."
"The Destroyer has a very long range, and the burning bile has powerful destructive power. It can eliminate enemy troops in a large area and effectively suppress the enemy's long-range firepower.
The Destroyer can burrow but cannot move underground. The Destroyer no longer has the regeneration ability of cockroaches. The Destroyer moves at the same speed as the Infected. The Destroyer can directly obtain the King Insect's vision and use the King Insect's vision to attack targets outside the line of sight.
."
The egg sac exploded, and a strange insect crawled out of the egg with no horny armor covering its body, only four jointed limbs, and the shadow of a cockroach could be seen.
This monster is only slightly larger than a cockroach, and has a flat hole on its back. The hole seems to be able to rotate and adjust its position at will.
The Destroyer's brain is relatively large and is protected by two light bone plates. It has only one eye on its forehead and the sickle-shaped joints on its back are missing.
Abathur's explanation is very clear. This is a long-range tactical fire support unit. It is very similar to the human siege tanks in the game, but the difference is that even when the Exterminator fires horizontally, the ammunition it fires will not be as powerful.
reduce.
It's just that this guy's defense is worrying, and the interval between attacks is relatively long. Compared with the Zerg Destroyer in the original game, his skill has become a normal attack, but he has lost the ability to fight in close combat with the enemy. When facing the opponent, he can sneak into the team.
It is relatively fragile at the time, and like the toadstool bugs, special insect swarm units need to be dispatched for protection.
But this shortcoming is tolerable compared to its advantages, because the swarm finally has a real ultra-long-range strike force.
Moreover, the Destroyers can obtain the King Insect's vision on their own, which means that they can also perform the task of "counterattack turret", that is, counterattack in real time to counter enemy long-range firepower units.
Xue Hua looked at the two new units of the swarm in front of him with satisfaction. Now, the types of ground troops of the swarm have been relatively complete.
In the near range, there are exterminators and springtails that can charge into battle and protect other troops. In the second echelon, there are new cockroaches that can jump directly into the enemy group. In the mid-range and long range, there are hydralisks that can shoot both explosive and armor-piercing spines.
, ultra-long range and destroyers that can carry out precise range strikes.
There are even two types of psionic units, the Toadstool and the Infected.
If there is anything else that needs to be added.
It should be that he lacks the power to "finally decide".
But Xue Hua is not in a hurry.
He believed that the "Thunder Beast" would never let him down.
