If greed is a set of genes, deeply imprinted in every DNA of the Zerg, then its external manifestation is "plunder."
Countless data proves that the Zerg constantly draws strength from the lives they take, transforming it into the power of their own growth. Initially, the Zerg emerging from the wormhole were relatively few in number, but after decimating life on several planets, they gradually evolved into bat-like batworms, centipede-like riftworms, and so on.
They are evolving.
The miracle of biological evolution is manifested in them without any effort. They can also make targeted evolutionary breakthroughs in response to the technological advantages displayed by humans. Therefore, after the initial invasion lasted for several years, the silent bugs fell from the sky and made all human machines silenced instantly.
What appeared before Gu Qiongsheng and others at this moment was the Zerg's absorption ability.
Not only can they absorb the appearance of living things, but they can also absorb the technology taken from humans!
Seeing the insect mother squirming and bulging all over, several gun barrels slowly squeezed out of it, and turbid mucus flowed down the barrels, the faces of several people in the Dawn Team turned green.
“Boom!!”
Shells more powerful than before were ejected from the barrels, falling to the ground one after another. The sound was like a tsunami, drowning everyone in an instant!
The mud and sand exploded and flames rose.
Although it was almost night, the strong flames still lit up the entire sky and earth, burning the dark earth into daylight.
Splashes of dirt fell like a waterfall. Gu Qiongsheng covered his buzzing ears, barely avoiding the holes in the ground, and shouted, "Is everything okay... cough, cough cough!"
The mud and sand filled her mouth and nose, forcing her to bend over and cough violently.
Fortunately, a moment later, the embarrassed voices of teammates were heard.
"fine!"
"Captain, I'm fine too!"
"I-I'm fine!"
After shouting "It's okay", Zhou Qing gritted her teeth, bent down and felt around her calf.
Her calf was pierced by four pieces of shell casings and was now covered in blood.
Enduring the pain that penetrated deep into her bones, Zhou Qing grabbed the exposed part of the shell and pulled it out with all her strength!
Blood splattered, and the moment she pulled out the shell, her flesh was also gouged out.
At that moment, Zhou Qing felt a sharp pain and her eyes went dark. She almost fainted. Fortunately, Gu Qiongsheng was quick-witted and immediately used a skill.
A faint white light gathered on her battered calves. The bleeding stopped and the rolled flesh healed quickly. After just a few breaths, her skin became as new as before.
Zhou Qing finally loosened her teeth and let out a long breath.
There was a taste of rust between her teeth. She had bitten the tip of her tongue to suppress the pain.
"We can't go on like this," Gu Qiongsheng's face turned pale. "If we can't defeat them from a distance, let's get close!"
Everyone cheered up and rushed towards the underground insect queen.
Slender tentacles suddenly shot out, waving wildly like vines, forcing them to turn mid-air. The tentacles didn't pursue the enemy, but after forcing them away, they spun around the insect mother, their long blades gleaming coldly in the night.
It seemed as if he would chop anyone who dared to get close into blood foam.
Gu Qiongsheng bit his lower lip tightly.
I can’t get close to him, and I can’t hit him from a distance. What should I do now?
She had never fought such a difficult battle since she traveled through the stars.
The opponent is indeed the Insect Queen. Even in a weakened state, she cannot be easily defeated.
A thought vaguely emerged in her mind: If it really doesn't work, let's retreat first?
Although the blue bar is still more than half, it cannot withstand this kind of consumption. If it continues like this, they will not even have the strength to escape and will be buried in the mother insect's belly!
But just when Gu Qiongsheng was struggling and wanted to give the order to "retreat", Qin Yuan seemed to see through her thoughts. He suddenly approached her and whispered, "Qiongsheng, we can't delay."
Gu Qiongsheng turned around in surprise.
Qin Yuan pointed at the Zerg Queen and said, "Over the years, humans have seen all sorts of Zerg variants, but never a Zerg armed with a Star Destroyer. Previously, people thought it was because their technology wasn't compatible with the Zerg's genetic makeup, but now it seems the technology in human weapons is too advanced, and it will take longer to master."
"And now, the Zerg Mother has reached a critical point in integrating these technologies."
"Zergs with submachine guns on their backs, Zergs carrying rocket launchers on their shoulders, even Zergs driving mechas and piloting starships... I'm afraid they will all become reality soon. Look at the shape of its body, that huge oval shape. Doesn't it resemble the Federation Star Destroyer X01?"
Gu Qiongsheng was stunned for a moment, and a look of horror suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Qin Yuan was right. When she extended her innate vision towards the Insect Mother and tried to penetrate the black hole-like spiritual body, she really saw a huge monster gradually forming in the other's body!
Perhaps this is the reason why the Zerg Queen is weak. She is currently breeding a starship—a starship worm that is completely controlled by the Zerg and is even a "living" one.
Soon, this war will no longer be limited to the fight between soldiers, but will be transformed into an interstellar war again.
The Zerg are about to master human technology, but how long will it take for humans to thoroughly study the Zerg's technology?
Can the Silent Realm be completely cracked? Can it be replicated?
No, not yet!
The Zerg will not give humans time. The expansion of the Xiling Star front is the clarion call for the decisive battle. When the starship worms are born, the Zerg that has mastered both the silent field and heavy weapons technology will become the most terrifying existence in this universe!
Gu Qiongsheng bit his tongue hard.
She felt her fingertips trembling, and the rusty taste of blood quickly filled her mouth.
No, we can't retreat.
Humans have no idea what is happening to the Zerg. Isn't the Zerg Queen hiding so much just to give humans a hard time after she gets the full picture?
Although it is still uncertain who lured them here and for what purpose, and the Zerg's conspiracy was cracked, this is definitely a great opportunity for humans.
If we miss this opportunity, once the new Zerg appears, it will be extremely difficult for humans to get close to the Zerg Queen!
Gu Qiongsheng quickly explained the current situation to the team members after signaling them to assemble. After hearing what she said, even the somewhat timid Han Tianming's eyes shone brightly, revealing a look of determination.
"Okay, I was saying that the Zerg's overall offensive seemed to have weakened in recent months. Turns out they were preparing a powerful move for us."
The girl raised her petite head, the purple light in her eyes so thick it seemed to drip down: "I never thought that one day we would be the ones to decide the direction of our fate—come on, Sister Qiongsheng, that ugly bastard is coming for us again!"
Gu Qiongsheng whispered, "Hold on, I've already sent a signal to the Federation via the communicator."
"Fight if you can, drag it out if you can't—be careful, get out of the way!"
Several people dodged in response.
Tap, tap, tap, a string of sparks fell where they had just gathered, turning the entire rock into a sieve.
At this time, Gu Qiongsheng heard the rustling sound again.
She looked up into the distance and saw countless black spots densely packed under the clouds, rushing towards her from the distant horizon.
The vast black shadows like waves are all Zergs scattered on the Xiling Star.
——The scream that the insect mother made before was also calling them.
Seeing the overwhelming Zerg swarm, and looking at the Zerg Queen in front of them that was condensing crimson killing rays, everyone's already determined hearts began to waver.
One Zerg Queen is scary enough, and there are so many Zergs besieging her.
Do they really have any hope of killing the insect queen and saving their lives under this kind of attack?
On the contrary, when Gu Qiongsheng saw the sea of insects, his eyes suddenly lit up.
A bold idea popped up in her mind.
"The opportunity has arrived!"
…
The mountains roared and the sea surged.
To protect the Zerg Queen, all the Zerg scattered across the planet were recalled, enveloping the Dawn Squad. From high above, one could see the sea of Zerg stretching endlessly into the distance, blending into the bleak night, seemingly endless.
And a moment later, a strong light suddenly burst out from the center of the sea of insects!
The extremely hot light, a hundred times brighter than any laser gun or rocket launcher, shot up into the sky like a pillar of light, and the surging heat wave rushed towards the surroundings with an invincible momentum!
Countless Zergs screamed and were burned to ashes the moment they came into contact with the heat flow.
In the beam of light, Qin Yuan stood silently with his eyes closed.
A chessboard was spread out in front of him - a chessboard constructed with spiritual power, every horizontal or vertical line shone with dazzling brilliance, condensing a power that ordinary people could not match.
As the young man continued to inject power into the chessboard, it expanded rapidly in front of him. Countless squares turned into the sharpest blades in the world, and also the most dazzling cages. Qin Yuan immediately waved his right hand, and the chessboard flew high into the sky, pressing down heavily on the heads of the Zerg all over the mountains!
“Clatter!”
It was like a landslide and a tsunami, the sky and the earth were collapsing, and white light was rapidly flowing, flashing, and cutting in the sea of insects. Its power was no less than the tentacles of the insect mother.
The insect mother has only nine tentacles, while Qin Yuan has as many as 324 grids!
Dark blue blood splattered and instantly flowed across the dark earth.
So much blood flowed into a river, flashing a faint blue light in the night. Countless Zergs covered their own limbs, fell down with screams, and were imprisoned by the white light. White steam rose from their bodies and turned into thick water in an instant.
Sensing the heavy casualties among the Zerg, the Zerg Queen also let out a shrill cry, and countless cannon barrels appeared around her body, gathering energy -
Qin Yuan turned around suddenly and grabbed with his right hand!
Countless white pieces suddenly appeared on the chessboard. The fingertip-sized pieces were as round as jade and gathered on Qin Yuan's palm. Then, with a backhand flick of his hand, they flew straight towards the densely packed gun barrels!
“Bang bang bang bang—!”
Each chess piece accurately hit the muzzle of a gun, blocking the bullet in the chamber before it could be fired.
Explosions sounded one after another around the insect mother, and its tentacles were also blown into pieces by the backlash of the explosion.
The insect mother's screams became even more shrill, and dark blood flowed out from the wounds on its body, dripping into the depths of the ground.
Hearing its cry, the Zerg army became even more crazy. They ignored the tragic deaths of their companions and rushed forward madly.
At that moment, the insect queen issued a death order in their already underdeveloped brain area: Charge regardless of casualties!
Kill the enemy in front of you no matter what!
The Zerg were numerous, and even if Qin Yuan killed many of them, they were just a drop in the ocean. The subsequent Zerg quickly rushed over to fill the gaps between the dead and wounded.
Facing the seemingly endless attack, Qin Yuan looked calm. He gathered strength at his fingertips again, and the shining light shone again.
Releasing such a huge force was also a terrible torture to his body, but fortunately Gu Qiongsheng was standing beside him, and the healing power of his palm also gathered into a torrent, repairing Qin Yuan's body without stopping.
Gu Qiongsheng's eyes also lit up. Under the illumination of the chess pieces, her amber pupils seemed to be filled with morning light.
To sustain such a powerful attack, her mana bar was rapidly depleted - but compared to the rewards, it was nothing.
Gu Qiongsheng stared at the system panel, watching as thousands of prompts flashed across it:
Kill 1 Riftworm, experience +2000
Kill 1 Riftworm, experience +2000
Kill 1 bat bug, experience +2000
【……】
Countless prompts flashed across the screen. The moment Qin Yuan's attack landed, her experience bar also rose like water, filling up like crazy!
There were so many Zergs around, Zergs were everywhere, Qin Yuan didn't even need to judge the direction, he just had to keep launching attacks.
The other people also, with Gu Qiongsheng's unremitting support, madly swung their attack skills to the side!
Those attacking skills are often their most powerful moves, because once they are used, they themselves will become weak due to excessive energy consumption.
But at this moment, as soon as they unleashed their skills, their bodies were rapidly filled with a huge amount of energy. No, the energy was so abundant that it was about to burst out, urging them to unleash the next skill, and the next one!
Everyone has never had so much fun. They don’t have to worry about anything and just focus on using their skills.
Every skill thrown out will take the lives of hundreds or thousands of Zergs.
After all, the Zerg were too dense, packed tightly together like dumplings.
Their attacks, when combined, formed a powerful barrier - using offense as defense, making it difficult for the Insect Queen's attacks to get close!
Gu Qiongsheng also felt very refreshed.
As the experience value on the system panel increases rapidly, her blue bar will be refreshed quickly, followed by the next wave of unlimited treatment. This cycle forms a virtuous circle.
She was so happy that she almost laughed out loud. Where could she find such a good place to gain points?
The Zerg Queen was also stunned by the sudden attack and actually summoned back all the Zergs she could, trying to devour the invaders with a swarm of Zerg tactics. She didn't even consider how much combat power these Zergs could exert if they were huddled together and rubbing against each other.
Especially the rift worm, which was originally the king of assassination in the dark, but now it is urged by the worm mother's mental imprint to push forward madly, and its own advantages are completely gone.
It just provides convenience for the Dawn Team to gain experience.
If there was only one insect queen, their team would find it difficult to resist. After all, as long as the insect queen was not killed, Gu Qiongsheng would not get any experience rewards.
And now, the Zerg Queen helped them summon so many "experience packs", which perfectly made up for the disadvantage of lacking mana bars.
Even if he just stood there, Gu Qiongsheng had the confidence that he could heal from dawn to dusk and turn this overwhelming sea of insects into experience bars.
Just one word, awesome!
In addition, Gu Qiongsheng was also thinking about one thing.
A few more levels and she would be able to meet the standards for acquiring new skills.
From memory, the skills she designed for the game character have basically appeared, and the only thing left is the ultimate move...
Can this endless group of Zergs help her reach the peak and activate her ultimate skill in one breath?
