The Dark Night starship quickly passed through the thick black fog surrounding the planet and floated above the Zerg planet.
Chu Huaying's fingers operated on the buttons, causing the starship to activate the anti-reconnaissance system. She drove the starship to circle over the planet, detecting and selecting a landing site.
On the LCD screen in front of the starship command podium, you can see the enlarged planetary landscape.
Everything within sight was black.
The entire planet is desolate, with no plants, rivers or mountains visible. It is like a desert smudged with black, but that blackness is different from pure black ink, but rather like... a thick layer
Black fleece blanket?
Chu Huaying adjusted the surveillance camera in front of the starship, aimed it at the planet's ground, and magnified the image a hundred times.
Then, everyone saw an extremely shocking scene——
The large black area is indeed like a thick velvet blanket. The "fuzz" on the blanket is swaying in the wind. The "velvet blanket" is not a dead thing, but a living thing, and it has been spreading around. There are many on the velvet blanket.
The white pebble-like things should be insect eggs. Those eggs continue to hatch, and larvae the size of fingernails appear.
If someone with trypophobia sees this scene, he will probably faint from fear.
Xiao Lou and the others had experienced a Zerg dungeon before, and they were able to maintain their composure when they saw these familiar little bugs. It was the first time for Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci and Chu Huaying to see such a large scale of Zerg. Tang Ci looked away with a stiff expression.
, Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck! There are bugs everywhere, this place is so disgusting!"
Chu Huaying frowned slightly: "Is this black carpet-like thing used to hatch insect eggs?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said, "This should be the legendary Zerg carpet."
Lu Jiuchuan looked back at Xiao Lou: "Certificate?"
Xiao Lou explained: “The carpet can be understood as a hotbed that provides nutrients to the Zerg. It is created by the secretions of the adult Zerg to help the young Zerg grow up quickly. The carpet can accelerate the expansion and reproduction of the Zerg—the reason why this planet is
It’s black because the entire planet is covered with black Zerg carpet.”
Ye Qi said excitedly: "I have played interstellar-themed games, and there is indeed a setting where the Zerg rely on creep to reproduce and expand. Since this planet is the home of the Zerg, and the entire planet is covered with creep, it seems that there is everywhere here
Are they all Zerg?"
Xiao Loudao: "The Zerg on this planet are different from the ones we encountered in 8 of Spades."
He paused and said in detail: "The Zerg encountered by Spades 8 must survive in the blood. They parasitize in the human body through the blood, quickly infect and control the entire human city. And when they encounter danger, they will
Integrating and upgrading each other, the highest-level insect king can command the lower-level insect races."
Ye Qi continued what he said: "The Zerg on this planet rely on carpet for survival? Don't they need blood?"
Xiao Lou nodded and said: "It should be due to the different environment. After entering the human city, the Zerg of Spades 8 are not accustomed to the acclimatization. If they want to survive, they must find a medium. The most suitable medium for them is human blood. And now
, this planet itself is the home of the Zerg. They were born and grew up here, and are accustomed to the environment here. The carpet of bacteria all over the planet provides them with a natural breeding ground, allowing them to develop and reproduce quickly without the need for parasitism.
to expand.”
Lu Jiuchuan and the others had never experienced the dangers of the Zerg secret room, so they did not understand what Xiao Lou meant.
Xiao Lou concluded: "In other words, the ability of the Zerg here is much higher than that of the Zerg we encountered, and their numbers are not at the same level. If we accidentally let the Zerg merge, Mr. Shao may not be able to control the situation.
."
When Ye Qi heard this, his face turned pale - he remembered that he was attacked by the Zerg at Spades 8. In order to save him, Shao Qingge blocked the Zerg's claws with his body. As a result, he was infected, and later used his consciousness to conquer the parasite.
The Zerg race evolved into the tenth-level Zerg King after many fusions. It was a blessing in disguise that he got the Zerg Ace Card.
The most powerful insect race in that secret room is the tenth-level insect king.
Today, the insect king of the insect planet is definitely at a higher level.
After all, those who invaded human cities were definitely not the most elite troops of the Zerg. Those who settled on the Zerg planet had absorbed the best nutrients since childhood, developed smoothly, and naturally had the strongest abilities.
The process of passing the level of 8 of Spades was so thrilling. Now if we fight the Zerg head-on, they will definitely not get any advantage.
There was silence in the command room for a moment.
After a while, Chu Huaying looked at Xiao Lou's serious face and asked: "Then we will continue to land? If Mr. Shao can't control it, the number of Zerg on this planet is not something that we can handle."
On the screen, the black carpet covering the planet is terrifying.
But now that we have come here, everyone will not be willing to back down.
After Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, he said: "Let's do this. Let's scout around the planet first to see if there are any areas with fewer Zerg. Then let the starship land first. If we can't deal with the Zerg, at least we can escape from here."
Chu Huaying nodded: "Okay."
She accelerated the starship's sailing speed and continued to fly around the Zerg planet.
This planet is not big. Compared with the planets inhabited by humans, its area is only one-tenth. The starship is extremely fast, and it flew around the entire planet in less than half an hour.
Surprisingly, everyone's eyes flashed with light.
On a planet covered with black fungi, that flash of red is particularly eye-catching.
Chu Huaying controlled the starship to approach.
A large area of golden-red mountains appears in the picture. The rolling mountains are hundreds of kilometers long, like a wide red river, adding a beautiful embellishment to this black planet.
Ye Qi asked: "Is this a volcano?"
Tang Ci walked to the command podium, carefully looked at the mountains at his feet, and said: "Although the color is very similar to flames, these mountains are not volcanoes, and there are no traces of volcanic eruptions. These mountains... are more likely to be mineral veins.
"
Ye Qi was stunned, looking at the large golden-red mountains in his field of vision, and murmured: "Could this be the rare mineral used to make starships and armors? The legendary extremely rare red crystal mine?"
Tang Ci is also a student who graduated from the mecha control department. Of course, he has learned theoretical knowledge about mecha manufacturing.
After hearing Ye Qi's words, Tang Ci nodded seriously, turned around and said to his teammates: "In the year 2000, humans discovered a precious mineral on the planet β-75. It was golden red in appearance and harder than ever.
Chromium is the hardest metal known. It is resistant to high temperatures and is not easily oxidized. It will not be corroded even if it is put into a highly concentrated acid solution. Adding this metal to the raw materials for manufacturing starships and mechas can greatly improve the performance of the new generation.
The performance of the mecha.”
He paused and then said: "Due to over-exploitation, nearly 80% of the minerals on the β-75 planet have been mined by humans, and the remaining mineral resources can only last about 10 years. Human scientists have been searching everywhere for these years.
Could the new resource planet, the planet where the Zerg live, be the resource star they found?"
Chu Huaying turned around and walked to the porthole, looked at the large mineral veins under her feet, and wondered: "What does the mission that Brother Ninth is about to perform have to do with the clones?"
Ye Qi guessed: "Is there a clone base on this planet?"
Xiao Lou said: "We have just circled the planet. 99% of the area on the planet is Zerg carpet. Only this mine has no carpet. If there are really clues about replicants, it should be in this area.
."
He looked back at Yu Hanjiang and asked for advice: "Would you like to go down and take a look?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Since we're here, let's go down and have a look, and try not to disturb the Zerg."
Chu Huaying pressed the landing button, and the Dark Night starship folded its wings and landed steadily on one of the mines.
The surrounding area is desolate, and as far as the eye can see are red-gold mineral veins, shining with a soft luster.
Chu Huaying decided to stay on the starship to provide support. If someone had evil intentions and drove the starship away, it would be tragic for everyone to be left on the Zerg planet. Xiao Lou also felt that it would be better for her to stay on the starship to fight. If there was an unexpected incident,
In the event of an accident, at least everyone can escape at any time.
The five people opened the hatch, and Tang Ci first sent out a drone to survey the surrounding environment.
Seeing the data reported by the drone, Tang Ci said: "The oxygen content of the planet is scarce, but it can sustain survival. The average temperature is as high as 68 degrees, and the ground temperature exceeds 90 degrees. These ores will dissipate heat to the surroundings, and their own temperature is extremely high and cannot be
Just step on it."
The high temperature of 90 degrees will definitely burn the soles of your feet instantly if you step on it.
Fortunately, Zhou Chang's secret room and the others had even passed the steamer hell, so they had a way to deal with the temperature. Tang Ci took out the "Defense Mecha" card and asked everyone to put on high-temperature-resistant armor.
Five people wearing battle armor fell to the ground.
From Chu Huaying's perspective, this scene is quite like an astronaut landing on a strange planet.
Xiao Lou gave everyone team voice headphones, and Chu Huaying also wore one to facilitate communication at any time.
The five people scouted around the mineral veins and found nothing special. The surrounding area was full of this hard, hot ore. Ye Qi took some with him to go back for research.
Xiao Lou wondered: "No trace of a human base has been found. Moreover, such a harsh environment with a high temperature of 90 degrees and thin oxygen is not suitable for humans to build a base, right?"
The environment here is too bad.
There are no plants, not enough oxygen, and more importantly, no water.
It is impossible for people to survive in an environment without water, and the cost of transporting food and water between interstellar is too high...
Lu Jiuchuan thought thoughtfully: "Does the mission we perform have nothing to do with the clone plan?"
At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded around.
Ye Qi looked up and said in a daze: "It seems like a large dark cloud is flying towards us?"
The sky above this planet is surrounded by black fog. Where do the dark clouds come from?
Xiao Lou was suddenly shocked: "No, it's the Zerg, the flying Zerg!"
****
【Chapter 426, Thrilling Moment】
The Zerg encountered by 8 of Spades have extremely strong climbing and jumping abilities.
But now, these Zerg races have actually grown wings.
The densely packed Zerg flies in the sky, like a large black cloud, quickly pressing in the direction of everyone. The weird "buzzing" sound is the sound made by the Zerg when they flap their wings and fly.
This is much scarier than the words about locusts crossing the border that Xiao Lou has seen before...
Looking at this posture, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the Zerg in the sky.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said decisively: "Quickly retreat!"
However, before they had time to retreat, the winged Zerg seemed to have received some order and suddenly swooped down towards them like hungry tigers pouncing on prey!
The densely packed Zerg attacked the five people from the air, and Xiao Lou was knocked to the ground in an instant. Fortunately, the hard armor helped him block the first wave of attacks, otherwise, the Zerg's sharp wings might have pierced his body.
When Yu Hanjiang saw this scene, his eyes were about to split. He took out his saber and quickly killed the surrounding Zerg. He cut a bloody path and quickly came to Xiao Lou's side. He whispered: "Are you okay? Are you injured?
?!"
Xiao Lou was dazed by the punch just now, but he was not injured. He hurriedly said: "I'm fine. Everyone, leave quickly, don't be too eager to fight, there are too many Zerg here!"
Yu Hanjiang activated the Qinggong card, hugged Xiao Lou and rushed towards the starship!
Ye Qi originally had musical instrument cards to control these Zerg, but now he was wearing a clumsy armor and could not hold the instrument at all. Seeing that he was surrounded by countless Zerg, lying on the ground for a long time and unable to get up, Shao Qingge's eyes flashed.
After a hint of sharpness, he took out the Insect Ace without hesitation.
Hearing an ear-piercing scream, Shao Qingge took off his armor and his eyes instantly turned blood red.
Transform into the insect king!
He was giving orders to the surrounding insect swarms in the language of the insect race.
After hearing the order, the Zergs collectively stagnated for a few seconds, seemingly hesitating.
Shao Qingge said in the voice earphone: "Run! I don't know how long I can control them. There should be a more advanced Zerg behind them, and the orders issued conflict with mine - she wants to kill us all!"
Ye Qi's expression changed and he directly activated the teleportation card.
I wanted to teleport to Sister Ying's starship, but when I looked back, I saw that both Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had been thrown to the ground by the dense swarm of insects. They didn't know what happened. They seemed to be in great pain, and their faces were pale.
.
Ye Qi wanted to save people, but Shao Qingge whispered: "Go back and I will save them."
"But..." Ye Qi wanted to say, what if you can't control the situation?
Shao Qingge whispered: "Be obedient!"
Ye Qi had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn away, saying in a trembling voice: "You have to be careful."
At this time, there were still more than ten meters between Shao Qingge, Lu Jiuchuan, and Tang Ci. There were Zerg everywhere in the sky and on the ground. Shao Qingge took off his armor and jumped to Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci.
The surrounding Zergs noticed his aura and retreated one after another.
Shao Qingge saw that the two of them looked pale and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Lu Jiuchuan's voice was hoarse: "My head hurts and my brain is about to explode!"
Tang Ci also said that he had a headache.
Shao Qingge said: "I will take you away."
He used the teleportation card to bring Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci with him. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Is it our Zerg territory that you can come and leave whenever you want?"
Shao Qingge's expression changed - the Queen of the Zerg.
Unlike the tenth-level queen encountered by the 8 of Spades, this queen seemed to be of a higher level. Shao Qingge could not order her, and even felt a strong sense of oppression.
The Queen said softly: "Children, go ahead and kill them."
Shao Qingge is the alien insect king. This queen is the supreme leader of the Zerg planet. Who should we listen to? The Zerg stagnant in the air seemed to have been pressed on the start button and pounced on Shao Qingge even more crazily.
people!
Tang Ci and Lu Jiuchuan's memories reappeared in a familiar environment, especially after hearing the Queen's voice. The two of them had headaches that were about to explode. Their brains were about to lose the ability to think. It was like a knife in their brains was constantly cutting the nerves.
One person fainted directly!
Seeing the dense swarm of insects rushing towards Shao Qingge, Ye Qi turned pale with fright and clenched his hands tightly into fists. He watched helplessly as Shao Qingge was overwhelmed by the massive swarm of insects, and his heart seemed to be squeezed hard by a pair of hands.
Same thing...
Ye Qi shouted: "Shao Qingge, come back quickly!"
The voice, with a crying tone, was transmitted to Shao Qingge's ears through the earphones.
Shao Qingge, who was overwhelmed by countless swarms of insects, was already covered in wounds. In order to protect the unconscious Jiu Ge and Tang Ci, he had to use his body to resist the attacks of these insects.
But he is the insect king after all.
His terrifying repair ability allowed his body to heal quickly. He even broke off the wings of an insect with force, violently twisted the opponent's head, and took the initiative to direct his wounds at the insect.
Countless bugs entered his body along his blood.
It is indeed the nature of the Zerg to seek integration when encountering danger.
Ye Qi saw the man standing up from the swarm of insects. His clothes were stained red with blood, but there was a smile on his lips. His blood-red eyes narrowed slightly and he said jokingly: "Thank you for sending me the high-level insects."
, let me continue to evolve. Do you think they can hurt me?"
The Zerg Queen screamed: "Back off, I'll deal with him!"
The surrounding insects receded quickly like an ebbing tide. Shao Qingge saw a huge female insect appearing in the sky. She had eight pairs of wings. She was exactly the same shape as Chu Huaying's starship. She was almost as big as Shao Qingge.
Hundreds of times larger than the grid, such a huge thing shocked Shao Qingge...
Is the queen of the Zerg planet too perverted?!
Shao Qingge said in the earphone: "Hua Ying, I'm holding her back. You quickly let the starship take off. You won't be able to get out soon!"
Chu Huaying immediately pressed the start button.
The spider-like starship spread its wings and instantly flew into the sky.
Ye Qi stood by the porthole, looking at the man suspended in the air, his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Is it okay for him to be alone? What if he can't beat the queen? The queen of the Zerg planet looks better than the 8 of Spades.
That one is much more powerful..."
Xiao Lou gently pressed Ye Qi's shoulders: "Don't worry, Mr. Shao knows what's going on."
Through the porthole, you can see that Shao Qingge and the Zerg Queen are fighting fiercely. The Queen seems to want to eat him, and every attack is aimed at his fragile head!
But Shao Qingge was extremely flexible, and he had just eaten a flying insect and evolved the ability to fly. He flew quickly in the air and narrowly avoided the Queen's claws several times!
The queen is large in size and has strong attack power. She can even split open a mine with one claw. But Shao Qingge is more flexible and lighter. If the king does not see the king's confrontation, it is difficult to determine the winner for a while.
Ye Qi was frightened when he saw it, fearing that Mr. Shao would accidentally be eaten by the queen...
He was worried to death, but there was nothing he could do to help, so he could only worry.
Seeing that the starship was getting further and further away from the Zerg planet, Ye Qi choked and said, "What will he do if we leave?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingge's familiar voice sounded behind him: "This queen is really difficult to deal with. Let's leave quickly. After all, this is the territory of the Zerg. We won't get any benefits if we stay any longer."
Ye Qi suddenly turned around and found that Shao Qingge had appeared directly in the command room with Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci.
Xiao Lou explained: "I used Li Qingzhao's mark teleportation to pull them over."
This is also the reason why Shao Qingge deliberately delayed for 5 minutes.
Ye Qi was so confused that he forgot about this method. At this time, seeing Shao Qingge covered in blood, his eyes turned slightly red, turned around and rushed towards Shao Qingge, hugging him tightly.
The man said worriedly: "Are you okay? I was scared to death just now. I was really afraid that you would be killed by the queen..."
Shao Qingge was thrown into the arms of the young man, and his heart softened slightly. He rubbed Ye Qi's hair and whispered: "It's okay. My body can be repaired. It's just a little bleeding." He smiled softly and hugged Ye Qi.
:"don’t worry."
Ye Qi found that he really didn't look injured, so he felt relieved and broke away from his arms with a blushing face.
Shao Qingge pointed to Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci and said, "Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang fainted just now."
When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and quickly took off their armor.
Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci closed their eyes tightly, and they had indeed fallen into coma.
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "What's going on?"
Shao Qingge said: "I don't know. They fainted suddenly just now. They were probably stimulated by the Queen's voice. They remembered something and had a severe headache that they couldn't bear."
If Jiu Ge and Tang Ci can really remember something, their trip to the Zerg planet will be worthwhile.
***
Lu Jiuchuan had a long nightmare, and some messy pictures kept flashing through his mind.
He heard a low, majestic voice ringing in his ears, and slowly said to him: "They are just some bugs. As long as those bugs are eliminated, the precious resource star can be occupied. This operation needs to be kept secret. To the Arrow Legion
It shouldn’t be difficult to perform this task, right?”
Lu Jiuchuan saluted the other party with a standard military salute: "Yes, sir!"
The other party said: "Scientists have sent drones to survey this planet. There are no intelligent creatures on the entire planet. Those low-level bugs can be burned away with a fire. I will give you half a year to clear all obstacles on the planet.
Establish a military base for the Arrow Legion on the planet to assist subsequent mining companies to settle in..."
Lu Jiuchuan saw himself walking out of the military headquarters building and arriving at the Arrow Legion.
The subordinate asked him: "The general asked you to go, is there a new mission?" Lu Jiuchuan smiled softly and said: "The astronomers discovered a resource star, but it was occupied by insects. The general asked us to destroy the insects.
group."
"Get rid of bugs? It's so easy!" "Can't we just use pesticides? Do we need all our Arrow Legion to dispatch?" "The entire planet is occupied by bugs. It should not be dealt with by pesticides. It can be set on fire."
Already..."
The officers were discussing.
At that time, no one took "bugs" seriously.
Later, Lu Jiuchuan led the Arrow Army to the Zerg planet, and was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him——
The number of these densely packed Zerg should exceed several billions. The entire planet is occupied by the black Zerg carpet. How can it be so easy to eliminate the Zerg swarm?
The planet was too big. The vanguard troops of the Arrow Legion drove their armors to drop gunpowder in batches and areas. In the blink of an eye, fires were ignited everywhere on this black planet!
In the midst of the blazing fire, they heard a sharp scream that chilled people's hearts——
The shrill screams of those insects could actually penetrate the starship's barrier and be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears!
Just burned some bugs to death, don’t worry... everyone comforted themselves like this.
But soon, a terrifying scene happened——
The Zerg that encountered danger suddenly began to merge with each other crazily.
Dozens, hundreds, or thousands of Zerg merged together to become an advanced Zerg, and even grew wings that could fly! The vanguard troops sent by Lu Jiuchuan were attacked by thousands of advanced Zerg and were completely wiped out!
Those Zerg's hard claws can actually destroy the most advanced armor!
Is this a fucking "low-level bug?"
Lu Jiuchuan realized that he had encountered an alien creature he had never seen before, and immediately ordered a retreat.
However, just as the warship was preparing to evacuate, a gentle woman's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. The voice was very soft, as if blown by the wind, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's mind.
She said: "Invading the Zerg homeland and massacring my people, haven't you humans done enough evil over the years?"
Lu Jiuchuan was shocked and said: "Who are you?"
Doesn’t it mean that these are low-level creatures without consciousness? Why can they speak human language?
The other party chuckled: "Since you are here, let me bury you with my people."
As soon as she finished speaking, countless high-level winged bugs flew over in dense numbers like a swarm of bees. The black bug swarm instantly surrounded Lu Jiuchuan's starship. They used their sharp claws to smash the starship's defensive shield—
—
Lu Jiuchuan woke up from his nightmare in an instant.
He looked pale and pressed his temples, whispering: "I remembered."
