Chapter 74 Evolution: Baneling (Armored Bug Variant)

Seeing Xue Hua shaking his head, Abathur understood. It didn't say anything, but once again stretched out its appendage and touched Xue Hua's face gently.

The scene in front of Xue Hua began to change again.

But this time, the battlefield environment simulated by Abathur is still a battlefield where the insect swarm is on the offensive.

The situation on the entire battlefield is as follows: The human troops of the Tyranids are guarding a radar station on a high ground. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is the last place on the planet that humans can use to contact the outside world.

In order to prevent the Terran Empire from sending a fleet of battlecruisers to support the remaining human forces here, the swarm must defeat the radar station before the humans can use it to send a signal to the Imperial fleet.

However, the geographical location of the radar station is quite good, and there are also many human heavy firepower units and a large number of human infantry units retreating to the radar station. These infantry units can operate the defensive weapons in the radar station to cause damage to the attacking insect swarms.

A lot of damage.

At the same time, a group of scientific researchers from the Zerg Research Institute also retreated to the radar station. They covered the fortress's gate with a special gel coating.

This gel coating can effectively resist strong acids and various biochemical toxins, so ordinary poisonous baneling attacks are not effective against this radar station.

There are a large number of ghost fighters in the sky above the radar station. It is difficult for the Zerg air force to approach there for support, and even the Nydus Worms cannot enter the radar station.

Under this situation, Xue Hua needed to use thousands of "armored bug" variants of poisonous baneling bugs to break the deadlock. This was undoubtedly a very difficult task.

The poisonous banelings will be transported underground by the tunnel worms to the outskirts of the radar station, but the poisonous banelings will need to rush through the next road by themselves.

After Xue Hua took over the command of the poisonous banelings, he didn't care about any tactics. Just like before, he directly let the poisonous banelings, which had an extra layer of regular black bone plates on their bodies, disperse and move towards the radar.

I rushed past the main entrance of the station.

However, when these poisonous banelings began to charge, Xue Hua was immediately shocked.

Because he saw that these guys, who were all black and looked nothing like poisonous banelings, were moving almost half as fast as the previous poisonous banelings that had upgraded their centrifugal hooks.

Their mode of action is still curled up and rolling on the ground like tires, but if their moving speed before was only comparable to that of ordinary cars, now their moving speed is comparable to that of an F1 formula car.

So much so that when the human defenders at the radar station discovered them through radar, these people thought it was a group of alien dragons attacking!

"It's a group of alien dragons! Let the ghost fighters shoot them all down!"

"It's not a group of alien dragons! You idiot! Come and see for yourself!"

"Oh! God! What are those?"

"I don't know! I don't want to know! I just know we have to start bombing!"

"Then come on! Let's see who can kill more this time!"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

The human tank drivers excitedly clenched the operating levers, preparing to use the big babies they were sitting on to blast those disgusting bugs to pieces just like they had done to repel the insect swarm attacks several times before.

With a muffled sound, various heavy weapons in the radar station began to exert their power, fiercely projecting firepower towards the charging Baneling Swarm.

However, what these operators and pilots did not expect was that when the round of artillery fire coverage ended and the smoke cleared, at least two-thirds of the poisonous banelings were fired from the artillery fire that was enough to flatten the top of a hill.

Zhong rushed out alive.

Although some of them were injured, they continued to rush toward the radar station's gate without hesitation, and their speed was so fast that it was simply puzzling.

Seeing this scene, the human defenders at the radar station finally began to panic.

"Damn! They're still alive!"

"What are these? Some kind of cockroach variant?"

"I don't know! I just know we should keep firing!!"

"Fire quickly! Concentrate your firepower! Blow them up! Don't let them get close to our radar station!"

The firepower of the human defenders became fierce again, and many marines even ran up the outer wall of the radar station holding assault rifles.

They stood on the outer wall and fired wildly at the rapidly approaching poisonous banelings, but the super penetrating power of the "C-14" electromagnetic assault rifle failed this time.

Many bullets actually hit the poisonous banelings, but most of them were bounced off by the bone plates with an unusually smooth and hard surface.

And even if there are occasional bullets that penetrate the bone plate, the kinetic energy of those bullets is exhausted after passing through the bone plate, and they are unable to continue to damage the insect body protected by the bone plate.

In addition, the poisonous banelings rolled forward with their bodies rolled up, and the huge centrifugal force also threw away many bullets, so the volunteering of the marines actually had no effect at all...

The same goes for human heavy firepower units. Unless these armored bug variants are hit head-on by heavy artillery shells, it is difficult to kill them with the aftermath or shrapnel alone, and the bone plate armor on their bodies can be quickly regenerated. This is

This means that if it cannot be killed immediately, it will quickly regain its defensive capabilities.

Therefore, even though the human defenders tried their best to defend, a large part of the poisonous banelings finally rushed to the radar station.

Then, an earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the radar station.

However, the human defenders who heard this huge movement showed relaxed and relieved expressions, because they already knew what kind of insect was attacking.

"It turned out to be poisonous baneling insects...it scared me to death..."

"Haha! Did the Zerg change their generals at the last moment? Otherwise, how could they not know that the thing we are least afraid of is the poisonous banelings!"

"I didn't expect those skinny bamboo poles in white coats to be a bit... What? Damn it! Insects rushed in! Our door was attacked ahhhhhhh!!"

"Oleg! Don't make such a joke! This is not good at all... What is that? Ahhhhhh!!!"

The defenders' thankful laughter only lasted until half of the time, and was rudely interrupted by the swarm of insects that rushed into the radar station. They never expected that when this new variant of poisonous banelings exploded, in addition to a huge explosion,

In addition to being damaged by strong acid, the bone plates on their bodies will also break into hard and sharp shrapnel, causing secondary physical damage to everything around them.

Although the door of the radar station has been emergency reinforced by the SCV, it is not a fortress door after all, and its impact resistance is naturally poor. Therefore, after being bombarded by a large group of poisonous banelings, the flying bone shrapnel was very

It was soon riddled with holes and turned into a pile of useless scrap metal hanging on the door frame.

Subsequently, the insect swarm army quickly approached the radar station under the projection of the Nydus Insects, and easily broke in through the destroyed door, quickly wiping out the last human resistance here.

The picture in front of Xue Hua quickly shrank, and once again returned to the interface that he was very familiar with. There, there was a poisonous baneling insect with yellow liquid in the vesicle and a body covered with black bone plates, which looked even more...

The well-proportioned poisonous banelings were arranged on both sides for him to make a choice.

And Xue Hua almost didn't think twice and directly chose the armored insect variant.

This variant has many advantages over the regenerator variant. It not only greatly enhances the poisonous baneling's self-defense and movement speed, but also enhances its destructive power.

The most important thing is that it adds a new damage type to the poisonous banelings, which also gives Xue Hua one more choice when encountering monsters with the "poison immunity" affix in the future.

It was basically obvious at a glance which of the two variants was better, and Xue Hua didn't understand why Abathur let him choose.

When Abathur heard this question, he only answered him with a very simple sentence.

"Organisms need evolution to maintain their survival advantages, and evolution needs comparison to correct fallacies and gain experience."
