[The mission target is found, the centipede. 】
The system beeped, and a red circle appeared in Su Su's field of vision, which was exactly where the blue-purple "ugly thing" was not far away.
Is this the mission objective they are going to tackle today?
It was so ugly that Su Su lost some of his fighting spirit.
But he still had to fight. His journey was to the stars and the sea. How could he retreat because of an ugly thing?
Su Su first tried to get closer to the opponent, and after reaching the attack range, he fired a volley of light ammunition at the opponent's body.
The centipede seemed to be awakened, and its countless tentacles floated in the air and "swam" towards Su Su. Its claws were attached to his sturdy shell, making a clanging sound, but it was completely unharmed.
The Silver Dragon that Yan Bai gave to Su Su was equipped with top-grade ammunition. Even a light shell was enough to penetrate the hull of an S-class starship like the Silver Dragon in the game.
"Is it so difficult to beat?" Su Su straightened up in his seat and gradually became serious.
Qi Hanyi adjusted one of the built-in windows to face Su Su, and saw that his chubby shark doll's mouth had closed, and its cute round eyes had turned into a ferocious inverted semicircle.
He understood that in this battle, not knowing about centipede shield insects was a disadvantage for Su Su. Normal players can get the physical parameters of various insects, enemy skills, and even some killing strategy videos through the game forum. As long as they have enough configuration and follow the strategy, they can kill them.
But Su Su would also miss this information because he couldn't access the human network. Qi Hanyi could of course tell him what he knew, and at first Qi Hanyi did intend to do so, but now Qi Hanyi has changed his mind.
The real battle with the Zerg is full of uncertainty. Almost every year, they will encounter several new species of Zerg in battle.
He wanted to see what Su Su could do when faced with a strange and powerful insect in danger.
Su Su has already determined that the defense of this insect must be S-level. If he wants to cause damage to it, he must find its weaknesses and then attack it with heavy artillery firepower.
The range of heavy artillery is much shorter than that of light artillery. Su Su moved his side wings, accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards the Zerg.
The insect swarm that was as big as a hill spread out its tentacles. Hundreds of tentacles intertwined in the air to form a huge net that covered the sky and the earth, and rushed towards Su Su.
The silver starship was entangled by the tightened tentacles, becoming a motionless prey at the mercy of others.
Qi Hanyi looked at the surroundings, which were submerged by the tentacles hit by the chains, and finally only an impenetrable blackness remained.
Only the screen belonging to Su Su was still on. The shark doll with a ferocious expression opened its mouth, revealing a row of neatly shaped fangs.
Although the net fell quickly, with Su Su's agility, he clearly had a chance to escape.
He stayed inside on purpose.
Qi Hanyi raised his eyebrows at the bold decision. It was hard to believe that this was a choice a novice would make. It was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, but Su Su seemed not to be affected by fear in his judgment at all.
Su Su just thought that since he couldn't break through the defense of this insect from the outside, maybe he could try from the inside to find the weakness of the insect. He never thought about what would happen to him if he lost, he only thought about how to win.
The Zerg caught the Silver Dragon starship and brought it to its mouth. Its black hole-like mouthparts suddenly opened wide, ready to enjoy this rare delicacy. The Silver Dragon starship was quite large, and it could not eat it in one bite. Countless clamp-like teeth grabbed the side wings of the Silver Dragon, and its chain-like tentacles pulled in the opposite direction. With a huge tearing sound, the Zerg tore off a wing.
Although the Silver Dragon itself was not strong in defense, having one of its wings torn off was a terrifying force that still shocked Su Su.
Su Su felt his left wing being torn apart through mental connection. It didn't hurt, but he felt uncomfortable as if he was being torn apart.
[Alert, the left wing has been damaged, the damage level of the Silver Dragon's hull is 15%, and the ammunition loss is 30%. Request to enable self-repair.]
The alarm sounded with a delay, but Su Su ignored it.
The tentacles began to roll toward the right wing again.
During the process of being turned upside down, Su Su quietly waited for the opportunity.
50 degrees, 30 degrees, 15 degrees...
The moment the muzzle of the heavy artillery was facing the enemy, he immediately aimed at the enemy's mouthpiece and poured heavy firepower towards the enemy as if it was free.
The insect reacted quickly and immediately closed its wide mouth. Its circle of pincer-like teeth bit into each other, forming a layer of defense.
“Boom boom boom!”
The shells hit it, making a deafening explosion. The strong recoil caused considerable damage to the nearby Silver Dragon starship.
But after the artillery fire died down, the Zerg was unharmed and even continued to tear at the right wing of the Silver Dragon.
It's still okay like this? What are the teeth of this thing made of?
Su Su stared at the Zerg in front of him who were unaffected, feeling somewhat confused.
Looking at Su Su's confused expression, Qi Hanyi chuckled silently.
The centipede feeds on alloys. Its teeth are the sharpest part of its body and can easily tear an A-class starship into pieces. They are also the strongest part of its body, stronger than the shield on its back and able to withstand heavy artillery bombardments.
Qi Hanyi looked at Su Su expectantly: So what should you do now?
[Warning, left and right wings damaged, Silver Dragon's hull damaged 50%, ammunition loss 70%, please retreat immediately, please retreat immediately. ]
Su Su quickly recovered from his dazed state.
Are you going to lose?
No, it's just begun.
After suffering so many losses, he finally gathered some information about this ugly guy.
The main methods of attack are arm and foot attack and tooth attack, and the strongest defense is the shell and teeth.
Will eat starships. But has no interest in cannonballs.
Weaknesses...
Su Su stared at the mouthparts that opened and closed. With such strong defense, the inside of his mouth was afraid of being attacked.
If you love starships, then you can eat as much as you want.
A bold plan emerged in Su Su's mind.
The starship's hangars are stacked with many makeshift spare parts made from the same alloy used on the starship's exterior.
Su Su entered the command and the spare parts in the warehouse were dumped out.
At that time, the insect was about to bite Su Su's tail with its teeth. When it saw the parts flying out from the bottom, it immediately spread out some of its arms and legs to pick up the scattered spare parts and stuffed them into its mouth.
Now.
At the moment when the opponent's attention was distracted, Su Su adjusted the muzzle of the gun to a tricky angle and aimed it at the tentacles in front of the starship. The remaining ammunition poured out, and the huge recoil pushed the starship into the mouth of the Zerg, with the momentum of a meat bun hitting a dog.
The moment the tail fin entered the Zerg's mouthparts, Su Su released two positioning anchors, one on the left and one on the right, to lock the starship in the Zerg's mouth, and immediately activated the ignition command.
White flames instantly spurted out and entered the monster's mouth. The enclosed space caused the heat and air pressure in the mouth to continue to rise, and the insect tribe expanded like a balloon being blown up.
The tentacles swung chaotically in the air, tangled with each other, and some of them entangled Su Su's starship, trying to pull him out of its mouth.
The starship was shaking violently, like a small boat that could capsize at any time in a storm.
But the positioning anchor was firmly stuck in the tissue inside the Zerg's mouth. Unless the Zerg tore its own mouthparts apart, he would not be able to pull Su Su's starship out.
"Boom!" A loud explosion sounded, and all the teeth around the mouth of the centipede fell off its mouthparts. The flesh on its head was blown to pieces, and its body flew backwards.
And Su Su finally broke free from the shackles of the Zerg, and his vision opened up again.
[Warning! The damage to the Silver Dragon's hull is 75%, and the ammunition loss is 92%. It is unable to continue fighting. ]
Su Su's Silver Dragon starship lost a pair of side wings, and the main body was also severely damaged. Most of the sensor system was destroyed, and the power system was completely scrapped. Fortunately, there was a temporary backup power device. If it drove slowly, it could last for an hour, enough time to drive back to the nearest supply point.
But Su Su did not intend to stop there, as he had not received any reminder that the mission was completed.
A good shark would never let a half-dead prey slip away from under his nose. After spending so much effort, he must turn this ugly thing into his mission bounty today.
He adjusted the reserve power to the maximum, dived to catch up with the Zerg that was blown away, and was about to pour the remaining ammunition into its mouth that could no longer close.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came from behind.
"Turn to the upper left 15 degrees and speed up." At the same time, Qi Hanyi, who was sitting in the observation seat, reminded.
Su Su completed the action almost at the same time as Qi Hanyi spoke.
"Bang!"
The centipede shield insect exploded into fireworks in front of Su Su. The missile just now almost flew past Su Su. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have turned into fireworks together with the insect tribe.
Su Su changed direction and glared in the direction where the gunfire came from, angry at having his prey robbed.
There, ten starships of different models were suspended behind him. They were arranged in a regular formation. The farthest one was a bulky-looking oversized starship.
Qi Hanyi only took a glance and recalled all the information about this starship.
A-class starship: Meteorite. In the game, it is called a mobile turret. It sacrifices all flexibility, but the modified ship can fire super-heavy naval guns with a power 100 times that of ordinary starships at long distances. In reality, it is usually deployed around the defense line as a defensive weapon.
There is a strategy for killing centipedes, which is to use multiple highly flexible starships to disperse and lure the centipedes into the attack range of the Meteorite, and then use the Meteorite's ship guns to attack them. Generally speaking, if the centipede is not injured, it takes three to four accurate hits to the vital points to eliminate the centipede.
However, because this Zerg had been almost completely consumed by Su Su, the opponent took it away with a single naval cannon shot.
What Su Su hated most in his life was that someone else took away his prey. When he was still a weak shark, he was often robbed of his prey by some powerful sharks. Now that he played the game, he didn't expect that the prey he had worked so hard to solve was snatched away by others again.
He drove his starship in front of the fleet of starships.
The intact communication system was turned on and switched to regional mode. Su Su aimed at the Meteorite starship and shouted angrily, "The prey is mine! Give it back!"
