The dark purple carapace was covered with cracks similar to those of lava, and eight pairs of blade-like limbs were arranged on both sides of the torso. The most frightening thing was the gaping mouth in the middle of its head, which looked like a blood-soaked abyss.
"What is this?!!"
The comms exploded with screams of panic.
They had never seen this kind of Zerg before, and the information about Zerg provided by the military had never mentioned a Zerg individual with such strong individual strength!
A Space Marine tried to get behind it and fire a firebomb at it.
As a result, the split-skull beetle suddenly turned around and sprayed a mouthful of mucus at him.
The conventional mecha on the space marine's body immediately melted like hot wax, and his flesh began to boil like boiling water.
The Space Marine let out a scream that could not be heard.
Until a sharp blade swept across and cut the half-dissolved body into two.
The conventional mecha on this man's body could not withstand the sharpness of the blade-like limbs of this skull-splitting beetle.
Then, the skull-splitting beetle's big mouth squirmed, rolling up half of the Star Marine's body into the cavity covered with barbs, making a sticky chewing sound.
It's just that in space where sound cannot be transmitted, no one can hear it.
But the visual impact is far more intense and stimulating than the auditory impact.
Some Space Marines had already started to feel nauseous, but they could only endure it.
"Focus your fire! Focus your fire on the crack in its head!"
A squad leader of the Space Marines couldn't stand it anymore and raised the pulse rifle in his hand with a roar.
However, the moment the silver-white beam of light touched the insect shell, it refracted into a harmless stream of light and slid away from both sides of the split-skull beetle's head.
The skull-splitting beetle seemed to be enraged. It instantly raised its head and let out a high-frequency hiss towards the starry sky. Its eight pairs of limbs suddenly rotated rapidly, forming a circular bone blade storm.
Two space marines who tried to use flamethrowers were immediately twisted into a vortex of metal and flesh, along with their equipment.
The flame from the flamethrower, which had not yet been extinguished, shone on the patterns on the back of the split-skull beetle, and the pattern turned from dark purple to bright scarlet.
The enraged skull-splitting beetle began to charge, and every time its eight sharp limbs turned, it would create a shock wave in the starry sky.
A Space Marine who had just joined the army was so shocked by this scene that he stood there in shock, with no intention of backing down.
Until he was knocked away by his captain and caught a glimpse of the captain's conventional black iron mecha.
The conventional mecha, which was said to be reinforced and able to withstand direct hits from railguns, was now having its chest compartment pierced by the sharp blades of the skull-splitting beetle's forelimbs.
The tip of the blade crushed the captain's spine bit by bit. The skull-splitting beetle raised its head, let out a hoarse cry, and trembled all over, as if it was enjoying the trembling of human death.
The vile Zerg even deliberately slowed down its movements and looked up to meet his gaze.
There was only a cracked mouth on its head, and no eyes at all.
However, this Space Marine who had just joined the army felt that he could "see" the malicious gaze of the Split-Skull Beetle.
His eyes were also bloodshot, and he yelled, "Let go of my captain!"
At this moment, he completely forgot the admonitions of the veterans when he joined the army, and ignored the advice that human weapons were ineffective against the Zerg. He simply raised the right arm of the mecha, switched to a mecha with a fully intelligent machine gun launcher, and began shooting at the skull-splitting beetle.
The intelligent machine gun on the ground, which could fire tens of thousands of bullets per second, also sent a shock wave to the skull-splitting beetle.
But it was of no avail, the recoil only knocked the recruit himself away.
The fierceness and bloodthirstiness of this split-skull beetle finally resonated with other ordinary Zerg.
They seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and instantly became violent, cruel and vicious.
The goal of their human opponents is no longer to capture or kill them, but to torture and kill them.
Even if the screams of humans cannot reach their ears, just the feeling of the trembling from the depths of their souls makes them feel like drinking fine wine, and they can no longer give it up.
Not long after, above the sky of Shaofu Star, at least hundreds of ZJI Zerg soldiers gradually transformed into the same vicious creatures as the Skull-Splitting Beetle.
When Xia Chujian arrived in a space jump on a small bat-style fighter, he found that metal wreckage with pieces of flesh hanging on it was floating everywhere above the starry sky.
The Zerg, which were already ferocious enough, seemed to be out of control at this time, trying to eat alive the Space Marines they captured.
The fearless Space Marines continued their self-destruction.
