As someone who has played games before, Fang Zheng has always believed that in terms of frontal attack, the Zerg always brings the greatest sense of oppression.
The human steel torrent seemed invincible, a kind of beauty of steel and order. When they advanced, it was like a huge steel machine rolling forward, which made people shudder. The individual combat power of the Protoss was the best in the world, and when they charged, it gave people the feeling of a group of warriors' fearless attack, which made people awe-inspiring.
But the Zerg is different. When the overwhelming Zerg tide appears before your eyes, it is more like a natural disaster that you cannot stop, resist or even avoid. Just like avalanches, mountain torrents and tsunamis, the Zerg battle is more like using numbers to an extreme. Facing the Zerg charge, you feel not the courage to fight, nor the anger and madness, but the insignificance and instinctive fear of individuals facing numbers beyond their understanding and acceptance. This is an indispensable part of the natural evolution of any organism. You can block the collapsed dam and resist the violent flood, but facing a tsunami of tens of meters and a hurricane that covers the sky, it is difficult for you to do anything to change it all.
And this is the Zerg.
Tens of thousands of springtails emerged from the forest, and they turned into a turbid tide and swept forward. From a distance, one could even see that the entire battlefield seemed to be covered with a blood-red carpet in an instant. Above their heads, the flying dragons flapped their wings and turned into an endless dense cloud. This wave of attacks even made people feel as if they were seeing the arrival of purgatory - the gates of hell had been opened, and the bright red purgatory flames were burning everything in this world from the ground to the sky, rushing towards them quickly.
Captain Wang put down the machine gun in his hand. He stared at the insect swarm in front of him blankly, and he didn't even care about the alien monsters behind him. Fear to the extreme brought despair. They didn't have this feeling when facing those mimic alien monsters, because although there were a lot of mimic monsters overall, their attacks were not well-organized, and because they often hid underground, the offensive of these alien monsters didn't seem as fierce as it actually was.
But the Zerg are different. Even before they arrive at the battlefield, their terrifying aura is enough to captivate people.
This is the swarm.
No one opened fire, and they even gave up struggling. In the face of such a large number of people, all they felt was powerlessness and despair. Some soldiers even closed their eyes, waiting for death.
But...a miracle happened.
Those terrible monsters did not kill these soldiers. On the contrary, the running Zerglings even made way for them. Their huge bodies seemed to be completely unaffected. The entire swarm of insects was like a real stream of water, bypassing those soldiers and continuing to move forward, forward, and forward again.
"What's going on?"
Captain Wang opened his eyes. He had already prepared himself to die in battle, but he waited for a long time and still did not see his death. This made him open his eyes and take a look. Then he was surprised to find that those terrible insects did not seem to intend to hurt him at all. They even avoided him?
Not only him, when Captain Wang looked to the side, he was surprised to find that several of his other men were also standing there. Some were stunned, while others still closed their eyes and waited to die. It seemed a little funny, but at this moment, no one could laugh.
A moment later, the swarm of insects disappeared from their sight. They entered the battlefield and began to fight. Everything around them was so quiet that it seemed unreal. Several soldiers stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Oh my god, what on earth is that?"
After an unknown amount of time, a soldier finally broke the silence. He turned around and looked behind him. The others also turned around in confusion and looked at the battlefield behind them. There, the Zerg were frantically killing everything they saw, while those mimicking alien monsters could not make any waves at all.
"They are...attacking those alien monsters?"
The scene before their eyes was truly unbelievable to the soldiers, but the fact was, these terrifying and ugly looking monsters, like those released from hell, actually seemed to be... their own people?
"No matter what, let's get out of here immediately!"
Everyone hadn't figured out what was going on, but Captain Wang immediately made a decision. The situation was beyond their ability to handle, so they had to report back to the headquarters and then consider the next steps. Upon hearing his order, the other soldiers followed his instructions without hesitation and left with him.
This is no longer their battlefield. Although they don't know where these monsters come from, since they are attacking those alien creatures, they still hope that the other side will not lose.
And if Fang Zheng knew what these soldiers were thinking, he would definitely tell them with great disdain.
How to lose when flying dragon hits the face?!
Fang Zheng is not worried at all that he will be tricked. It is impossible for him to be overturned, not in this lifetime. With such a huge population advantage, he can only rely on a wave of dragons and dogs. How can he lose?
And the facts have proved that Fang Zheng's guess was correct.
Although these mimic monsters do have almighty attack capabilities, their fatal flaw is that they have no air force, and their numbers are far less than those of the Zerg. Therefore, in the first wave of the charge, the mimic monsters were immediately torn into pieces by the springtails and dragons, and were defeated. If you look from the air, you will find that the mimic monsters that had been showing off their might before are almost like shells on the beach, which were washed away by the worm tide that is several times larger than themselves.
However, Fang Zheng did not attack them directly, as he knew very well that the most powerful thing about those mimics was not their ability to fight on the battlefield, but their ability to save and load files. In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy with SL cheats, Fang Zheng also ordered his Zergs not to kill those strange node monsters immediately after discovering them, but to capture them like they did with Tom Cruise, then bring them back to the base to bleed them, and then kill them with one strike after absorbing the genetic sequence.
This indeed limited the monsters' ability to reload save files, and for a time the Zerg advanced rapidly, and in just one day, they captured the entire front line.
At this time, the entire human world has been completely plunged into chaos. The sudden appearance of the Zerg shocked everyone. Humans originally thought that after experiencing the battle with the aliens, they had become immune and would not be surprised by any accidents. But after seeing these terrible Zerg, humans finally realized that they were still too naive.
Senior military leaders from various countries immediately gathered together and began holding meetings to study the matter.
The people who had just returned to the command center were taken directly to the joint forces' command center to report the situation before they even had time to change their clothes.
"Captain Wang Dong of the Fifth Armored Battalion is here to report!"
Wearing a bloodstained uniform, Wang Dong walked into the command center solemnly, saluted the person in front of him, and spoke.
"No need to be so polite."
Looking at Wang Dong who came in, the old man sitting in the first seat raised his hand and made a gesture.
"Wang Dong, I think you know why we are looking for you."
"Is it because of those monsters that suddenly appeared?"
"That's right."
Hearing Wang Dong's answer, the old man's expression suddenly became serious. And beside him, the military leaders of different skin colors also changed their expressions.
"I heard that your team once had direct contact with those monsters? Can you tell me what you think?"
"My opinion?"
Hearing this question, Wang Dong's expression suddenly changed. He once again recalled the almost unstoppable, overwhelming swarm of insects rushing towards him. For a moment, Wang Dong even felt as if his legs were a little weak, but soon, he relied on his strong willpower to force himself to cheer up again. Then Wang Dong looked at the senior boss in front of him and slowly spoke.
"They are...almost unstoppable."
Hearing Wang Dong's answer, everyone present frowned, even the old man in the lead. They were all military men, and naturally looked down on weakness. What Wang Dong showed was cowardice in their eyes.
"Perhaps you think I am making excuses, but everyone, I am only explaining this fact to you from the perspective of a soldier standing on the front line killing the enemy, a front-line commander. This is my first impression when I faced them on the front line. Of course, if you don't believe me, I still have video records of the battlefield. I believe that when you see this record, you will understand what I mean."
"Show it to me."
Hearing this, the old man made a gesture, and Wang Dong took out a memory card from his pocket and handed it over. Soon, a special staff member took the memory card and inserted it into the playback device next to it. Soon, the battle image appeared on the screen at the back. At this moment, the others also turned their heads and looked at the content on the screen.
At the beginning, the screen showed the battle between Wang Dong's team and the Mimics. Although the battle on the screen was also fierce, the people present were all soldiers, including many officers who had fought against Mimics on the front line, so there was no special reaction. In the end, only Wang Dong and his men were left. When they were about to be surrounded by Mimics, the old man who was in charge nodded in appreciation when he heard what Wang Dong shouted and glanced at him. Obviously, Wang Dong's courage at that time also made him admire him very much.
But the following scene made everyone change their expression.
At the beginning, the mimic alien monsters that were about to launch an attack suddenly stopped their actions. Seeing this scene, everyone became nervous. They had all read the battle report and naturally knew what would happen next. However, the report on paper was not as real as seeing it with their own eyes.
Then the camera turned and they saw... a swarm of insects.
"WTF?!"
“Oh my god…”
"God, what is this?!"
When they saw the insect swarm coming from afar, everyone's faces changed. Many people screamed and even cursed. Some even stood up with pale faces. But even so, they still persisted and forced themselves to calm down. After all, this was just a video.
But when the insect tide came to Wang Dong, and they watched the overwhelming insects rushing towards him, they could no longer sit still. Most of them instinctively stood up and tried to defend themselves. Some of them looked pale, lowered their hands, and showed desperate expressions. Some of them even screamed, and fell to the ground with their chairs, hitting the ground hard. When these people touched their heads and looked around, they found that they were not on the battlefield, but in the conference room. They actually showed expressions as if they had survived a disaster!
These were just the top military brass; the performances of the ordinary people around them were even worse. Several female clerks fainted from fright, and even the guards on duty had their eyes wide open, tightly gripping their guns. They had to use almost all their strength to control themselves from firing.
Seeing this scene, even Wang Dong clenched his fists. To be honest, when the swarm of insects came over, he simply closed his eyes and waited for death, so he had no idea what was going on with those monsters. But the camera on his body obviously did not have the function of closing his eyes, but recorded all the scenes, so Wang Dong saw the insects flying past him, and those insects did not even look at him, as if he did not exist at all. But even so, seeing the sharp claws and fangs of those monsters through the screen still made Wang Dong gasp. You know, he had completely given up resistance at that time. If these monsters had attacked him, I am afraid that he would have been dead by now.
Now that I think about it, it’s really a miracle that he was able to come back alive!
The video finally finished playing, but everyone present was motionless, even the old man clenched his fists. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then looked at the others and coughed lightly, then spoke with a serious expression.
"It seems that we must have a plan."
