Chapter 99
In addition to the vines that bound his limbs, there was another vine that wrapped around Tang Bai's snow-white ankles and then climbed up his trouser legs flexibly without braking. The rough and cold vines made Tang Bai's back tight and he let out a muffled groan. After he realized the sound he made, he bit his lower lip with a red face and glared at Xie Ruheng viciously.
Xie Ruheng: “!”
Xie Ruheng quickly controlled the vine to loosen it, as if everything that had just happened was just an accident. The vine that slipped out of his pants rubbed Tang Bai's ankle in a flattering manner, but Tang Bai didn't buy it at all and even wanted to crush the vine with one foot.
No, no, the vines are innocent!
The movements of the mechanical vines just now were very efficient. I could tell what Xie Ruheng was thinking at a glance!
Unexpectedly, it was Xie Ruheng, who looked like a handsome man, who damaged the mechanical vines!
Fortunately, Xie Ruheng remembered to use a cover to cover up everything that happened here. Otherwise, if this scene was seen by the bullet screen, Tang Bai would probably be ashamed and angry to death. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go, and you get out of the mecha for me."
Xie Ruheng lowered his head guiltily, his hands operating the mecha trembling slightly.
The comments didn't know what was going on. When they found out that Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng were doing a double-entendre live broadcast, they all said that they understood and that they were still in the honeymoon period. They wanted to see more...
"Explain it." Tang Bai raised the mechanical vine that had turned into a miniature form and said fiercely to Xie Ruheng.
Tang Bai was very happy to hold the mechanical vines high up. The green vines swung back and forth in the air, dancing in ecstasy.
To some extent, the mechanical vine should be happy. After all, it has taken the blame that it shouldn't have at its age, and now it can finally get rid of it.
In contrast, Xie Ruheng had an extremely solemn and sad expression on his face: "This matter is related to you. My explanation starts with my pursuit of your novel. It all started one day when I searched for the keyword, 'Tang Bai's novel.'" Xie Ruheng then gave half of the pot to Tang Bai.
Tang Bai: “?”
"I found some fan fiction about you and me written by netizens."
Tang Bai: “???”
"The vine is just one of the things in that article..."
Tang Bai: “???”
The door to a new world slowly opened in front of Tang Bai.
The world inside the door is covered with yellow tea.
"The ideal state of the Vine Project is that Brother Xie drives the vine mecha to tie up the Zerg and push the Zerg into the black hole near the energy star, but we don't have to force the Zerg into the black hole." Tang Bai said this while looking at the mechanical vines in Xie Ruheng's arms.
If the vines and Zerg are consumed by a black hole, the Mechanical Vines will become inactive after the game ends.
"As long as a spaceship reaches the Energy Star, the game will end. We can send a total of four spaceships to assist Brother Xie in the battle."
The reason why more spaceships cannot be sent is that the mechanical vines have eaten too much, and the total energy now can only supply five spaceships at most. Four spaceships will assist in the battle, and one spaceship will be responsible for reaching the energy star.
"Gu Tunan, Mo Zheng, Bai Li, you will go to those spaceships at that time."
Gu Tunan and others had no objection. They looked down at the detailed battle plan provided by the system.
Tang Bai looked at Xie Ruheng and the mechanical vines, "Brother Xie, what you and the vines have to do is to hold back the Zerg and buy time for the spaceship to reach the energy star!"
"It only takes twenty minutes!"
Xie Ruheng nodded gently to Tang Bai, and the vine lying on his head also began to wave its vines.
"Okay, I know you're hungry." Tang Bai handed an energy crystal to the mechanical vine, "After the game is out, I'll take you to eat the best energy crystals!"
The mechanical vines instantly weaved into a strongman's arm, showing Tang Bai its reliable strength.
The vast sea of stars.
A huge insect with a bloated belly was wandering around the energy star. It was several kilometers tall, with a reddish-brown shell that shone with a metallic luster. Its huge mouth was filled with densely packed claws, each of which was over five meters long. Its scarlet compound eyes were terrifying and creepy. Anyone approaching its territory would be attacked indiscriminately by this insect.
The four spaceships gathered together and approached the Zerg's territory cautiously.
"This Zerg seems to have gained a lot of weight, and its movement speed seems to have slowed down." Bai Li frowned.
"Energy cannon ready!" Xie Ruheng issued the order in a cold voice.
As the range gradually shrank, the four spaceships activated their energy cannons without hesitation!
The dazzling ball of light shot out across the boundless sea of stars, and then a terrifying wave of light surged and spread like a tsunami, crashing into the Zerg like a wave, tearing its bloated body apart in an instant.
The eggs spilled out, and most of them were burnt to a crisp. The other half that survived grew rapidly the moment they broke through the body!
They grow very fast! Because they eat the dead insect eggs as food!
Xie Ruheng's expression froze. He couldn't imagine what kind of hell they would face if they delayed for a while longer and allowed this insect to really give birth to these young insects.
The young insects swelled up like inflated balloons, and a spectacular tide of insects appeared before the stunned crowd. There were tens of thousands of them, covering the sky and the sun.
This time, the new skills of the Zerg were beyond everyone's imagination. Facing the huge sea of insects before them, even though the players selected to enter the four spaceships were the best of this year's military academy students, they still felt a glimmer of despair in their hearts.
Can they really hold back the sea of insects and buy precious time for their teammates?
Xie Ruheng calmly stared at the sea of insects that covered the sky. He gave the order without hesitation, "Second batch of energy cannons, fire!"
A series of energy bombs shot out, and in the energy explosion that filled the sky, thousands of Zerg were blown to pieces!
The gorgeous energy bombs killed the newly born Zergs on the outermost circle. There were a large number of these Zergs. When those on the outer circle died, a steady stream of eggs hatched new Zergs. Fortunately, these newly born Zergs had no regenerative ability.
Nearly ten thousand juvenile insects rushed to the front. These insects had hard shells and sharp claws, and looked very similar to juvenile viruses.
The giant insects that were the incarnation of the virus, surrounded by the young insects, flapped their wings and flew over seemingly slowly but in fact quickly. What appeared before everyone was an endless sea of insects!
A solemn atmosphere filled everyone's heart, but no one offered to back down.
Four spaceships were lined up in a row. The first spaceship resolutely went deep into the Zerg's cordon, followed by the second, third, and fourth. Countless energy bombs were fired crazily, and several gaps were blown in the approaching Zerg army. However, more Zerg quickly filled the gaps and attacked the four spaceships again and again.
Twenty mecha masters came out of the spaceship and filled the gaps between the spaceships.
These four spaceships are like reefs standing still in the turbulent waves. They try to build a wall to block all harm for their teammates who are heading towards the energy star at full speed.
Tang Bai put on his driving helmet and pulled the joystick with full concentration. When the spaceship driven by Tang Bai appeared in the Zerg's territory, the giant Zerg that had been the mainstay of the sea of insects suddenly shuddered, and its scarlet compound eyes stared at the spaceship behind the defense line.
Amid the crowd's exclamations, the giant Zerg suddenly rushed towards the space between the spaceships. Thousands of young Zerg hovered around it, and the dense barrage of bullets decreased in an instant because they were deeply shocked by the scene.
His gray-blue eyes stared silently at the sea of insects in front of him, and a hint of determination flashed in Gu Tunan's eyes.
If they really can't resist, then they can activate the self-destruct mode of the spaceship. The self-destruction power of four spaceships may not kill the Zerg, but what they have to do is to delay time. As long as they can delay for one more minute, they will win.
In the despairing sea of insects, a pink mecha was suddenly surrounded by countless green vines. The mechanical vines took root in the metal, raising the size of the mecha to a kilometer!
This is the maximum size of the vine mecha, but in the endless sea of insects, this mecha is like the sea.
A small boat in the sea could be swallowed by the waves at any time, not to mention the giant insects that can regenerate infinitely!
Just when everyone couldn't help but worry for Xie Ruheng, the vine mecha moved. Facing the oncoming Zerg army, Xie Ruheng did not retreat but advanced. He drove the vine mecha into the surging Zerg tide. The newly born Zerg could not stop his steps. Just a whip of vines was enough to pull the Zerg away in an instant!
The strong defense of the mechanical vines allows Xie Ruheng to withstand most attacks. Even if the outer layer of vines is damaged, the mechanical vines will recover quickly with sufficient energy supply.
The huge lightsaber swung at high speed, and wherever the sword light went, insect corpses were everywhere!
In front of everyone's astonished gazes, Xie Ruheng fought his way through the sea of insects.
Many people stared at the unstoppable figure in a trance, and suddenly had a premonition in their hearts that this figure would definitely be among the alphas standing at the top of the federation in the future.
The lightsaber in Xie Ruheng's hand turned into a shadow, and in an instant, he killed dozens of Zergs that blocked his way. Then he rushed towards the huge Zerg, and the brilliant lightsaber surged out from the hilt. Xie Ruheng chopped at the huge Zerg that was as big as a hill with one sword.
"Killing move, light!"
The long-accumulated energy rushed over like a beam of light that spanned the sky and the earth, spraying accurately into the abdomen of the insect and penetrating its body!
Spider-web-like cracks spread across the insect's abdomen. The insect shell peeled off, revealing a huge hole several dozen meters long. When the wound was about to heal quickly, the vine mecha suddenly fired out countless vines that took root in the wound!
Xie Ruheng then flipped over, and his hands made of mechanical vines grabbed the wings of the insect in an instant. The mecha's arms decomposed into countless vines, which instantly entangled the insect's wings and tied it tightly. Then the mecha's body woven with vines also suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless tough vines that tied up the insect.
【Vine binding play! 】
【Ahhhh thank God this is awesome!!!】
[This method of tying is very particular, avoiding the parts that are most likely to be pulled off! ]
Xie Ruheng sat in the cockpit, watching the series of data feedback on the display screen. The toughness of the vines dropped rapidly from 100%, 90%, 84%, 71%...
He stared at this terrifying number quietly without any panic, even though when the number dropped to 0, he would most likely be killed by the Zerg that had broken free from their restraints.
Because he had an appointment with Tang Bai.
Twenty minutes.
So he would pay any price to win these precious twenty minutes for Tang Bai and everyone.
Vine play! It seems that it has played something strange (the little vine said in fear that it wanted nutrient solution to comfort it
