Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Zerg invasion.
The edge of the playing field.
The screams just now came from the mecha team in the corner - here comes the Yikou Latiao team.
The Yikou Latiao team's mecha model was old and could not resonate. The team's location was very remote and they were the only team nearby, so they had no idea what Tao Ying had done from beginning to end.
Not to mention Mobius, he didn't even notice what was happening on the court. Until five minutes ago, he was still concentrating on playing the game.
There were more than a dozen giant sickles crawling slowly in the area. Captain Latiao raised his hand and blasted away a flying sickle.
The four of them fought diligently.
The points on your head keep increasing by +3.
They didn't know when it started, but they found that the weapons in their hands had become blunt.
"Maybe we're tired from wielding our weapons for too long?"
The four of them didn't take it seriously at first, but gradually, the strange feeling the weapons brought to them could no longer be ignored.
"Can the competition's system even simulate the sticky feeling after killing a Zerg? This Zerg is so juicy, it's a bit disgusting to chop it up."
"The knife in my hand is getting heavier... By the way, why aren't the Zergs spawning anymore? I'll go check over there."
The team member said this as he headed for the asteroid's dark side. But after leaving, he never returned, and the signal was intermittent, so he couldn't be heard.
The captain then called out twice: "Wuxiang? Wuxiang, where are you?"
The team member named "Wuxiang" had not responded for a long time, and another teammate was worried and went to check on him.
Also disappeared without a trace.
The two remaining teammates finally realized something was wrong and headed in the direction their teammates had left. However, after moving ten meters, they suddenly heard "crackling" and "crackling" sounds coming from the team channel.
The clicking sound came from the teammate's mecha.
The captain felt an instinctive fear and was instantly frozen in place. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the strange sound.
The sound was cold and muffled, strangely eerie and terrifying in the solitude of space. The source of the sound—the mechas of my teammates—rustled and rustled, as if encased in a vast cavity.
Crunch, crunch.
The metal was pierced by something sharp, then ground and rubbed mercilessly.
An echo came from the empty cavity.
At the edge of the arena, there were only four contestants. What else could make such a sound?
"Wuxiang, stop it, this joke is not funny."
Complete silence.
Cold sweat dripped down the captain's forehead.
The metal broke with a continuous thud, sounding very much like the sound of alloy armor plates being crushed.
But it was also like the sound of a creature biting through the hard spine of the mecha, chewing it, and swallowing the energy liquid.
That's right, it's the sound of creatures eating.
That's a creature that shouldn't be here.
The team channel could faintly hear the rapid breathing of his teammates, and he said incoherently: "Bug, bug..."
"Wuxiang, are you okay? Hold on, I'll call for help!"
The captain's scalp was tingling, and his hands moved quickly to contact the competition organizers urgently. However, he was too nervous and his hand slipped and he miscounted the contact code several times. Finally, he got it right once, and he breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Wuxiang's situation again.
This time Wuxiang answered, but the images of the two mechas suddenly connected, and the distorted faces of the team members hit him with great impact.
The screams almost shattered my eardrums.
"Save me, save me, no, I don't want to die—ah—!"
The scream was cut off in an instant.
The captain could see that the inside of the mech was crushed.
Wuxiang hid in the crack of the corner, not daring to move, with a look of horror on her face.
At this time, the attack seemed to have stopped. Wuxiang supported herself on the ground with her hands, knelt on the ground, and slowly crawled out of the gap, trying to find the emergency ejection button.
But soon, the unidentified creature launched a violent attack.
The mecha's hatch cracked open.
Wuxiang was pulled out of the cockpit by an irresistible suction force, and his body instantly exploded like a blood bag due to the pressure difference.
Then a huge, inhuman figure appeared at the cockpit door.
The creature has eight black eyes.
It has no whites of eyes, and is like eight opaque black beads inlaid on a pure black shell.
Cephalothorax, abdomen, black shell, eight spider legs...
The huge spider-like creature stretched out two claw-like tentacles and touched Wuxiang's body.
Then its chelicerae tightly grasped Wuxiang's abdomen, injected venom into his body, and began to suck in food with its mouthparts.
A moment later, a shattered mecha, covered in wet red blood and remaining human tissue, slowly floated in front of the captain from behind the asteroid.
The captain froze for a moment, his mind going blank and his adrenaline surging.
When people are extremely frightened, they cannot make any sound.
The desire to survive made him control the mecha to retreat quickly and quickly call for help on the public channel.
This is not a virtual projection, it is the real Zerg!
"Help, there are Zerg here!"
"The Zerg have invaded—"
·
The mental network was hit violently, and countless shocks twisted into a torrent, rushing towards Hengwo who was at the core with the force of thunder.
This mental force is too strong.
The intensity of the attack is no less than a blow to the head.
Tao Ying was caught off guard and was hit hard.
A piercing pain spread through his brain. Tao Ying's fingertips trembled and twitched twice. He felt that under the intense pain, his mental strength seemed to be instantly separated from his body.
[Warning, warning, network fluctuations.]
[Multiplayer resonance network, more than 50 teammates have been forced offline.]
[Current number of online users: 255——208——103——]
The tentacle monster's body rippled like water, and Sylvia's voice came from his mind.
"Take it easy, don't die."
As the core of the multi-person resonance, Tao Ying received too much data and instant stress reports. His trembling right hand quickly strengthened his mental barrier, which saved him from death on the spot.
The concerned voices of teammates came from the team channel.
"Xiaoying, are you okay?"
Tao Ying pressed her head, gritted her teeth and sat up: "It's okay, how is your mental strength? I didn't have time to block the attack just now."
Some of the data that she didn't have time to process leaked out. Although a large part of it had been weakened, it was not a problem for the slow-reacting Lin Biege, but Nan Gua was extremely sensitive to mental attacks and might be affected to a certain extent.
"I'm okay. I can hold on."
Nan Gua's voice was obviously trying to show off, so Tao Ying told her to stay in the safe zone and rest for a while, then turned back to look at the competition field.
Or, now it should be called a battlefield.
In the deep universe, swarms of spider legs are sweeping towards this side.
Countless black eyes stared at this side calmly and sinisterly, crawling densely on the asteroid.
The shell reflected the alarm light, and a brilliant and dangerous glow filled the entire field.
After scanning, a conservative estimate is that there are about 600 Zerg nearby.
There are more than 100 A-level creatures, more than 200 B-level creatures, not to mention those below C-level, and their numbers are still increasing at an incomprehensible speed.
This is the largest insect attack in recent years!
But where did these Zergs come from? During the competition just now, the mental network did not detect the presence of these Zergs, and no insect plague warnings came from the nearby planets.
They appeared here as if they had torn space apart out of thin air.
Marshal Ji Yi, Adjutant Bai, and two unknown mechas were fighting in the front, and juice was flying everywhere.
Seeing that Lin Biege wanted to step forward to help, Ji Yi kicked her back.
"If you can't win, you'll die if you come up here. Don't make things worse."
"There are many eight-legged spiders, but their vision is not very developed. If they stay still, they won't be easily targeted. If you don't want to die, don't move!"
"Teacher Ji." "Marshal!"
"Tao Ying, how are the reinforcements?"
Ji Yi drove the mecha, splitting an eight-legged spider in half and roaring in front.
Under the cover of the four mechas in front, the other players were protected. Except for the Latiao team at the beginning, there were no casualties for the time being.
All four of them had been to the front lines, and amidst the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers, they temporarily controlled the situation.
But because there were too many Zergs, the four people could not hold on for long, and the front line was gradually retreating.
Nan Gua rested for a while and began to be responsible for coordination. After Bai Mo's bullets were replenished, he also provided support through sniping. Although Lin Biege was kicked away by the teacher, he still persevered in helping on the edge.
Everyone helped to the best of their ability.
Tao Ying recovered for a moment and reconnected to the Lemen Monitoring Center.
"Liti, how long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
"Very soon, on the way... Oops!" Litiana's voice suddenly became louder, and her expression looked a little strange.
Tao Ying: "What's wrong?"
"Reinforcements encountered Zerg at nearby coordinates."
Everyone said in unison: "What?!"
From Chester to the Thirteenth Beacon Rift, the star field in between is strictly controlled, with the armies of the Reval Empire and the Ark Federation stationed nearby. Their military strength is undoubtedly the most sufficient and strongest in the entire galaxy.
The Zerg can appear there in large numbers, which means that all three lines of defense on the second galaxy front have been breached. How is that possible?
"Have you received any reports from the front?"
"Chester was also attacked by the Mimic Zerg! The Second Galaxy is also requesting reinforcements from us... The Third Galaxy, the Fourth..."
"A total of 240 coordinate points were attacked simultaneously, and the number is still increasing!"
Litiana's heart was shaken, her face pale to the extreme. She held onto the chair and slowly sat down. "The current estimated number of Zerg... has reached millions."
Everyone who heard the news almost forgot to breathe.
Ying Shaye frowned: "Why are there so many Zerg? Where did they come from?"
Litiana shook her head slowly, finally stabilizing her breathing.
"I don't know. Even in Sylvia's time, there has never been an attack of this scale."
Sylvia?
Tao Ying turned her head and looked.
The female ghost wearing a military cap was lying on the operating table, watching the mecha fighting in front with interest.
And her gaze fell in one direction.
Tao Ying's pupils shrank.
She murmured, "…I might have an idea."
Amidst the questioning from everyone at the Lemen Monitoring Center, she slowly maneuvered the mecha, avoiding the eight-legged spider and moving towards the location of the Latiao team.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the back of the asteroid.
It's a cosmic rift.
At this location, a brand new cosmic rift appeared, darker than the universe, as if it could absorb all light, and the Zerg continuously poured out from within.
The other side of the crack seemed to be their nest.
"this……"
Mobius shook his head. "I've said it before. The method I choose is the best. Humanity cannot win this fight..."
“Civilization is doomed.”
Tao Ying: "Shut up, I don't have time to listen to you now."
"what you up to?"
"Of course, we have to find a way to temporarily block the rift."
Ji Yi had a bad feeling and turned around to look: "Tao Ying, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Tao Ying waved his hand in the air, and the starship in the distance suddenly made a deep roar, and then the gun port on the side opened, revealing the black muzzle.
The large ship-borne gun on the top also slowly extended.
【Main gun charging.】
【Charging completed.】
【Three, two, one, ready to launch.】
"People from all sides, take shelter!"
The notification from the mental network arrived almost instantly. In a short period of time, all the mechas were affected by Tao Ying's mental power and subconsciously avoided the trajectory of the shells.
The muzzle accumulated platinum energy, and when the brightness reached its peak, the port barrage and the main gun were fired simultaneously.
The muzzles locked onto the same direction, which was the location of the crack—
The huge shells pierced through countless Zergs and entered the crack.
But - nothing happened. The shell did not explode, nor did it misfire. After the shell entered the crack, it was like being swallowed by the vast ocean, sinking to the bottom of the sea without a splash.
The Zerg in the rift paused briefly for ten minutes before attacking again.
