Get lost! Unless you're a meat-eater, nobody wants to talk to you.
[Mother Fucker isn't losing souls, which means that if any of her troops die within the next three days, they won't be replenished.]
[Baka! This disaster is just too bizarre!]
Looking at the system announcements and chat messages with lords from various countries, Su Bai remained remarkably calm.
"As expected, this particular disaster is related to infection."
"If it lasts for three days, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Killing infected creatures won't drop souls, but fortunately there's a main hive where we can replenish some insect soldiers."
However, he felt that even without replenishing the troops within these three days, the 60,000 to 70,000 insect swarms in his territory could easily get through it.
Immediately afterwards, Su Bai calmly walked into the manor, took out a sweet corn and a Fuji apple for breakfast.
Unlock free recruitment for the Hatchery and Manor, and receive 10 alien dragons and 1 young worker bee respectively.
At the same time, he ordered the insect swarm outside to retreat back into the territory.
Before we knew it.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The synthesized mechanical voice of the system sounded again.
[Announcement: The infection crisis has officially arrived!]
[Announcement: Kill Ranking List Released!]
[Announcement: If you rank in the top 100 on the leaderboard, you will receive a reward; the higher your ranking, the richer the reward!]
[Announcement: The top-ranked player will receive a unique mystery reward!]
[Announcement: The sole criterion for determining rankings is the number of infected creatures killed!]
[Announcement: Each lord's kill count starts from zero, and the leaderboard is updated in real time!]
[Announcement: After the infection crisis ends, corresponding rewards will be distributed based on the ranking list!]
The moment the announcement was made, varying numbers of infected creatures appeared on the outskirts of the territories of the various lords.
Dark clouds gathered, and the sky turned gloomy.
It casts a somber mood over the entire Land of Redemption.
Su Bai stood within the territory and looked around.
At the horizon, a dense mass of deformed creatures appeared.
It has a human form, with bloodshot eyes, a ferocious face, twisted limbs, and skin covered in ulcers and pustules.
A dark, overwhelming wave surged in from all directions.
Infected civilians
[Quality: Average]
[Level: Lv8]
[Description: These infected creatures carry a deadly infectious virus in their blood. Any living thing that is injured by it will be assimilated and turned into a zombie-like creature.]
"Ordinary quality, level eight, its combat power is definitely not very good."
"The number is quite large; looking at it at a glance, it's probably close to 100,000."
"The tricky part is that, like zombies, if you are injured by them, you will be infected."
"It seems that springtails are not useful for the time being. We can only use hydralisks, roach, and vandals to launch long-range attacks."
With a thought, Su Bai commanded a hydra and a cockroach to be positioned along the edge of his territory, forming a circular defensive perimeter.
The infected civilians roared like wild beasts, dragging their twisted bodies as they charged toward the territory.
Seemingly sensing the scent of living creatures, they ran faster and faster, matching the speed of wolfhounds.
This scene resembled a swarm of locusts, densely packed and extremely oppressive.
Three thousand meters.
Two kilometers.
1,500 meters.
Infected civilians enter the range of the Destroyer's skill attacks.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The spiral-shaped nozzles on the back of the Destroyer condensed into fiery projectiles, which, like molten lava, pierced the sky and attacked the target.
Thousands of flaming shells exploded, generating unparalleled amounts of energy.
Tens of thousands of infected civilians were instantly blown to pieces.
The raging fire formed a ring of flames.
However, these infected civilians felt no pain, only a craving for fresh flesh and blood.
Even with its body ablaze, it still charged forward at an extremely high speed.
With only three thousand destroyers, it's unrealistic to expect to kill all these zombie-like creatures within a 1,500-meter radius.
"If the hydralisks and cockroaches cannot kill them all on their way to the front, then in close combat, the swarm will be at risk of infection."
"The number of exploding insects is limited; every one used is one less."
"This is only the first wave of attacks, are we already going to use the exploding bugs?"
Su Bai stared straight ahead, his brow slightly furrowed.
The sheer number of troops within the territory greatly increased the intensity of the disaster; the first wave of attacks brought forth such a large number of enemies.
"My lord, there is no need to worry!"
Abathur stepped forward. "The Zerg possess unique and powerful genes; no virus can affect the swarm!"
"In other words, even if the swarm is injured by these creatures, it will not be assimilated or infected!"
Su Bai was overjoyed, a broad smile spreading across his face: "In that case, I'm relieved."
The Zerg are indeed formidable.
It can even easily become immune to viral infections.
There were some concerns that the ranged attacks of Hydralisks, Roaches, and Destroyers might not be enough to kill all the enemies, leading to close-quarters combat where injuries would be inevitable. Once the swarm was infected, the cost would be enormous.
But now, this worry can be instantly forgotten.
This particular disaster is called the "Infection Crisis".
The monsters that appeared in the first round were numerous, but not very strong. Their most terrifying characteristic was that they could assimilate and infect other creatures.
It is now known that the swarm can resist infection.
In an instant, this terrible disaster became commonplace.
"The infection crisis will last for three days, during which there will be five large-scale attacks."
"I can't wait to see the swarm wreak havoc."
"As for the period of disaster, just treat it as a time to rest and recuperate in the territory, eat and drink, and it will pass in no time."
Su Bai grinned, feeling incredibly relaxed.
Hydralisks and cockroaches launch long-range attacks.
Sharp, armor-piercing bone needles and corrosive, acidic saliva will kill infected civilians on their way to victory.
Coupled with the overwhelming superiority in quality and level, the infected civilians fell down as quickly as wheat was harvested.
When they rushed to within 100 meters of the swarm, their numbers had already decreased by 70-80%.
"Flying Bugs, attack!"
Su Bai shouted loudly.
Nearly 30,000 leaping insects let out low growls and charged out of the territory.
Because they move on the ground covered with fungal carpet, springtails are very fast.
As they approach the enemy, their two pairs of wings flutter rapidly, propelling them into the air and swooping down on the infected civilians.
In close combat, clashes and bumps are inevitable.
Some of the springtails charging at the front were injured, with streaks of blood appearing on their carapaces.
However, it is completely unaffected.
There was absolutely no sign of assimilation or infection.
