Chapter 123
Zerg.
The most powerful enemy of mankind in history.
They are huge, have natural armor, thick skin and flesh, and have strong reproductive ability. A queen can lay millions of eggs a month, 80% of which will hatch into larvae.
Only 7% of the larvae will become high-level Zerg, and the rest will become cannon fodder on the battlefield. They have no wisdom, are not afraid of pain, and will only act according to the requirements of the queen.
They are the best consumables in war.
In order to protect their people, the Empire and the Federation each occupy a battlefield, strictly monitor, and never allow any Zerg to cross the border to breed.
No one thought that this planet that has been strictly inspected would be infested with Zerg.
The rescue team immediately took action, but no matter how fast they were, it would take several minutes. The bullet screen was already in chaos, and everyone was worried about the players.
Grover was the captain of the rescue team. He was the one who led the team when they first explored whether the planet could be used as the finals venue.
He had an unshirkable responsibility for the accident.
He looked solemn, his eyes flashed with panic, and he quickly went to the scene of the accident.
A subordinate called and said, "Captain, do you want to ask for military support?"
"A Zerg—" We can solve it, too. Before he finished speaking, the smoke in the primeval forest finally dissipated for the most part, and the live camera faithfully and responsibly transmitted the situation on the scene to people's eyes.
Zerg!!!
All of them are Zerg!! !
In the collapsed "mine", countless insects poured out continuously, with densely packed limbs emitting a cold breath, and countless compound eyes staring at the prey present. They charged into the formation, not afraid of death, just to bring the insect queen the food she longed for.
There were many flying species among the insects, and the federal team in the sky was also attacked and was about to fall.
The situation below was even more difficult.
Xia Yan didn't know how many times he had swung his lightsaber, and the long sword accurately pierced the fatal weakness of the insects... The weakness of the Tengying insect was the connection between the back neck carapace; the weakness of the wind mosquito was the mouth; the weakness of the golden bone snake was at the seven inches...
The knowledge that the original owner had learned carefully, Xia Yan reviewed it all again in order to summarize it when he was practicing in actual combat.
He was originally a smart person, and now in a life-and-death crisis, the past knowledge points emerged clearly.
The steady black mecha, painted with gorgeous golden patterns, was like a hunting leopard, flexibly shuttling among the insects, and each time it could accurately give the opponent a fatal blow.
The gorgeous and beautiful dance of death makes people excited and blush.
People fell silent unconsciously, staring at the young man's mecha in a daze.
Grover closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, there was already a bit of despair in his eyes. He said gloomily: "We found a large gathering of insects. We suspect that there is an insect queen here. Please ask the military for support."
"Yes, Captain."
The Imperial League was originally the focus of everyone's attention. What Grover saw, the military leaders naturally saw, and the military guarding outside the planet immediately took action.
...
There is no way to kill them all. It was not
until the insects appeared that Xia Yan suddenly reacted and realized that he had made a fatal mistake.
The map provided by the system only marked the location of the worm mother, so he naturally thought that he should just avoid the area, but he forgot that the worm tribe would expand around the worm mother.
When they entered the second poison circle, they had already entered the territory of the worm tribe.
Humans are a mellow, sweet, high-end food and a great tonic for the worm tribe. Seeing that the number of humans is decreasing, the worm mother still can't help but attack them even though she knows there are risks.
With the power of artillery fire, the distance between the ground and the worm hole was penetrated.
Fortunately... the remaining ten people have good martial arts values, and they can hold on until the rescue team arrives.
In just two minutes, Xia Yan felt like a very long time had passed. Time stretched infinitely at this moment. With the rescue team moving at full speed, they finally appeared in the sky after three minutes and twenty-one seconds.
A team of thirty people could not kill all the Zerg, but it was enough to rescue the students.
As for the future...
the army would naturally take over and destroy them.
Here they come.
Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a powerful and irresistible thing enveloped everyone, as if a transparent invisible steel needle pierced through people's brains and stirred their brains.
Pain!!! It
hurts so much!!!
It was a pain from the soul that was completely different from the flesh.
The flying mecha lost the control of mental power and fell to the ground. If it weren't for the strong physical strength of the military cadets, they would have turned into a pool of flesh in an instant under the huge impact.
Even when he died in a car accident, Xia Yan had never experienced such pain.
The delicate and beautiful face could not show any expression, and the golden eyes were filled with natural tears. The slender fingers were weakly clenched, and the whole person was like a beautiful woman in an oil painting in an art gallery.
Use ink and heavy colors to cover the empty body.
Fortunately, the system noticed something wrong at the first time and immediately turned on the pain shield.
Instantly, the gorgeous body was infused with soul, and a huge brilliance shone. He looked around, multitasking, killing the insects while asking the system: [What happened just now?]
System: [The insect mother's mental attack.]
The insect mother is the breeder and controller of the insects. They have fragile bodies, but have strong mental power. They can control the insects and attack humans. Of course, mental attacks are also a great burden on the insect mother, and they will not use them unless necessary.
Perhaps the insect mother did not expect someone to break free from its control so quickly. In shock, the insect swarm also stagnated for a short time.
Seize this opportunity, quickly grab the teammate who is still controlled nearby, pull him out and throw him out. Anyway, they were all thick-skinned warriors, and they would only get
a few scratches if they were thrown down. The duck that was about to be caught flew away, and the insect queen was furious. She mentally controlled the high-level insects and told them to catch as many as they could.
The high-level insects looked around in confusion.
The claws knocked down Ludwig, who was closest to the 'mine', and sank him down suddenly. Ludwig was the second person to get rid of mental control, but the speed was still too slow.
The endless stream of Zerg squeezed him, and he could not kill them all. The mecha was squeezed out of the pit and buried step by step into the mine.
Xia Yan: "???"
The protagonist attacks!!!
One of the pillars of the world.
If he dies, the world will collapse.
He will work for nothing!!!
How can this be? Office workers can work overtime, but they can't work overtime for free!!!
Without time to think about it, Xia Yan immediately threw himself into the Zerg mine.
Zerg: "?"
Ecstasy, food is delivered to the door for free.
People who just woke up: "..."
What happened?
*
If someone posts a question, what kind of person is Xia Yan Gardner?
There are countless answers in the comment area.
Tall and slender figure, gorgeous face with rich colors, beauty beyond human limits, a simple glance can make people go through fire and water for him.
A wealthy family background, noble temperament, and a naturally arrogant aristocrat.
Excellent grades, strong strength, and a future star in the military.
...
Whether it is good or bad, people always have endless curiosity about him.
But among all the answers, it is definitely not included that he would risk his life and jump into the wormhole himself to save his teammates.
So when he really did this, everyone, including Grover, who had been competing with him for the throne and thought he knew his character best, was stunned.
I don't know how long it took.
Finally, someone asked in a trembling voice after the blank bullet screen.
[What happened?]
[Where's my wife? Where's my wife who's so old?]
[Fuck &￥@￥Why are the rescue team still standing there? Hurry up and save people for me! Fuck &*@@……] Someone sent a long string of Zaun greetings, but the AI automatically blocked the homonyms.
[Ahhhhhhh!!! I can't accept this!!! Save my wife!!]
[The rescue team can only save the people outside at most. With so few people, they'll just be sent to death if they enter the wormhole.]
[How long will it take for the military to arrive? 】
【This is not the border. There are only a thousand soldiers guarding outside the planet. They can't go down to the insect cave to fight the mother insect. Every time they kill the mother insect, they need a large number of teams to work together. Even so, it will be a heavy loss. 】
If the mother insect is so easy to deal with, humans will not fight against the insects for thousands of years.
【The nearest troops are in the imperial capital. It will take at least twelve hours to get here. By then, the opportunity will be gone. 】
Originally, it was just a competition for military students. The stadium was checked in advance. The military was guarding the perimeter. The organizers also configured a lot of protective shields. Even if the insects accidentally discovered this place and chose to attack.
Those protective shields can last at least forty-eight hours, enough for the army to get here.
But no one expected that the Zerg would not attack from the outside, but from the inside, causing chaos at the scene, and the protective shield suddenly became a joke.
[What about my wife? ]
[……]
No one answered his question.
The war between humans and Zerg is very cruel. Even if Xia Yan is the son of a duke, the empire will not sacrifice other soldiers for him to fight a battle with only a 5% chance of winning.
Unless the crown prince is among those captured.
The next king of the empire.
The empire was created by the Gardner family. Every king has been on the battlefield, made real military achievements, blessed the people of the empire, and is the spiritual pillar of the people of the empire.
Although Xia Yan has royal blood.
But he has not officially become the heir.
There is also a Grover.
Even if he is sacrificed, it will not shake the foundation of the empire.
However... is it really like this?
Ever since Xia Yan jumped into the wormhole, the Internet has been in an uproar. Countless people prayed for him, hoping that he could return safely. When they knew that the large army could not arrive for the time being, people were very frustrated.
There was a sense of loss throughout the empire.
It was as if he had gone from a vigorous and energetic young man to an old man in his twilight years, losing the spirit to move forward.
Who could be more suitable to be king than Xia Yan?
Under his brilliance, Grover was dull. They
had obviously found the dazzling diamond, but in the end they had to accept ordinary glass. It would be better to blind their eyes from the beginning and prevent them from seeing the beautiful gem, so that they would not be obsessed with it and unable to forget it.
...
Ian saw with his own eyes that his boyfriend jumped into the wormhole for another man.
The mental attack of the worm mother made him have a brief blank, unable to think. When he reacted, he rushed forward, wanting to be with Xia Yan.
Who knew that he was stopped by two mechas just after he started.
His face sank: "What are you doing?"
Huo Ruihe said in a tired voice: "Xia Yan asked me to hold you."
Gong Changyong: "The young master said you are not allowed to go down."
"Don't you want to save him?" Ian was almost crazy, raising his voice, his voice was sharp, "That's a wormhole!!!"
Huo Ruihe was silent for a while: "...I...have to obey his orders." That was the master he chose, he should obey, even though he himself was going crazy now, wanting to go in and save him.
Gong Changyong was an honest boy. He was not very smart, not very good at thinking, and always obeyed.
Even if Xia Yan asked him to jump into the insect cave first, he would do it.
Facts proved that Xia Yan did not find the wrong person.
Ian was very strong, but for a while, he could not break through the obstruction of Huo Ruihe and Gong Changyong. After a delay of more than ten seconds, the rescue team arrived and the insect tribe dispersed like water.
The inside of the wormhole is huge. Even if Ian jumps in now, it will be difficult to find Xia Yan.
Ahem!
Xia Yan himself is not afraid of death. If he dies, the worst that can happen is that he will return to the system space. Jumping down into the worm mother's territory will just complete Task 7. Even if he dies, it can be considered as completing the task.
But the two protagonists can't die!
He doesn't want to run down by himself. He just saved Ludwig, and Ian died in the blink of an eye. Isn't that a waste of work! !
! No! ! ! It must not be a waste of work! ! !
