Chapter 59 Eyeworm

The 200MM automatic cannon of the Tiger Shark-class destroyer drew a fiery red under the dark night. After a dazzling glare of a machete frigate of the Saint Violet Fleet, the hull was torn apart, and the aftermath of the explosion pushed the wreckage to disperse.

Splashing electric sparks and debris floating in space, human corpses flying in slow motion in movies, the flash of space cannons in the background, and drones flying back and forth like swarms of bees form the mysterious and magnificent space on the battlefield. Another bloodthirsty scene.

The large-caliber bullet pierced the night sky, like a curved meteor shower, drawing arcs in the air, chasing the fighter jets and missiles swirling in the sky.

The falling armed shuttle raised a cloud of sand and dust on the ground of Nami Star, and the non-stop artillery bombardment on the horizon was like the flash of an old-fashioned camera, which not only brought vibrations, but also added a touch of light to the dark night.

Occasionally, the main artillery of the battleship hit the ground, and for a while, the rubble was like rain, and the dust was far-reaching, bringing one deep pit after another on the already rough surface.

The battle has started, not a partial army confrontation, but a full-scale war.

As soon as they appeared, the three of them were all stunned. What was going on? What about the good army advance? What about the fleet watching? Why has it become this situation?

Could it be that the Epsilon ruins were discovered by the Sulu Empire? This possibility is very small. As long as the logistics base of the 3789th Division is not lost, it is impossible for the enemy to find it.

why? Are the commanders of both fleets crazy? In this way, wouldn't the armistice agreement signed by the two empires be like the aunt's towel under the crotch of BIAO's trousers, completely abolished?

"What should we do now? Go back?" Hausen asked with a gloomy face as he looked at the artillery fire that was sloping against the current torrential rain. He has been on such a battlefield before, and facing the ground-washing bombardment of the space fleet, as a front-line army, the probability of surviving is less than 20%.

The Thunder Fleet is the best to hold the Saint Violet Fleet. Once defeated, the marines on Nami will be left with no bones.

Tang Fang was also a little overwhelmed. How is the situation at the space station? Which side is better in the land battle? How's the firefight, is it anxious? Or one-sided? Where is the fiercest battle? Where is the safety insurance? They don't know all this.

If it is a simple ground battle, he is confident enough to face any side of the war. However, now even the space fleet is involved, even if he is protected by people, gods, and insects, and has the ability to quickly regenerate, a missile Or a railgun projectile falling from space, it would be enough to kill three people.

Just retract the ground and give up the master control center? This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. The general control center is connected with the underground refinery factory. Sooner or later, it will be discovered by the military, and it cannot escape the hostile situation with the 3789th Division. Retire, you can guarantee temporary peace, but it is difficult to guarantee a lifetime of peace. Enter, take chestnuts from fire, seek wealth and danger.

"I've come here, come back again? Wouldn't it be a tortoise with a shriveled head?" Tang Fang said with a cold face.

Select a king worm on the system interface, press the hot key, and a few seconds later, an eye worm will appear above the worm's nest. Next, Tang Fang thought about it and sent a summoning command to the system.

A blue wave of blue light appeared in the sky without warning, and became larger and larger until the radiation area expanded to a radius of tens of meters, but a streamer flashed along the outline of the Euglena's body, and there was an extra head with six eyes in the field of vision. , a huge flying creature.

Hugh said that Aros, Hausen, and Tang Fang were all dumbfounded.

More than 30 meters, a giant beast with a body length of more than 30 meters (horizontal),

The four corners of the diamond-shaped body have a huge single eye with a radius of several meters. The white of the eye is golden, and the pupil is long and narrow like a slit. There are also a pair of slightly smaller eyeballs on both sides of the back, which can observe the units in the sky.

Its huge and bloated body has many spikes, and below it is a pair of hooked feet. Right in front of the body is a turtle head covered with tentacles and long whiskers. The scales rhythmically shoot out a purple shimmer.

"This...so big...Tang...Tang Fang, this...what the hell is this?" Hausen stammered.

In fact, Tang Fang did not expect that the seemingly blunt and clumsy in the system, the completely gentle and harmless Insect King would turn into such a terrifying appearance after mutating into a Euglena. But it's no wonder if you think about it carefully. In the game, the king bug can transport the existence of the ultimate ground troops such as the thunder beast. How can the real size be small.

"It's an eye bug..."

"This is an eye bug... isn't it?" The two gave him an angry look. What an understatement, you must know that this ghost is thirty-seven-eight, nearly forty meters, enough to compare to a frigate!

It is not a ground unit like a queen or a cockroach. This thing can fly. Look at its eyes and tentacles. If it is not prepared, it can scare people to death.

Unlike the two who were in a dazed state, Tang Fang was immersed in a very strange state at this time. After the appearance of the worm, with the frequent rotation of the six eyes, one after another message was fed back to his mind, forming a very intuitive topographical plan, and the radiation area reached a terrifying 2500KM.

2500KM, what is this concept, the battlefield radius of the 3789th Division and the Silver Winged Wind Mechanized Infantry Division is only 3000KM, which means that almost every move of the two sides is under the control of the eye bug.

As large as a space battleship in low-Earth orbit, or as small as a drone that shuttles over the battlefield, as long as it is moving, alive, and radiating energy outward, all of them cannot hide the perception of Euglena.

At this time, Tang Fang was no longer depressed. Now it seems that Euglena is equivalent to a radar, or a super early warning aircraft that integrates various detection methods such as photosensitive, sonar, radar waves, and infrared.

The only disadvantage is that this thing inherits the docile and harmless characteristics of the king insect, and has no attack ability. Except for the highly evolved photoreceptor eyeballs of the super-sensory retina, as well as the tentacles and spikes that can emit electromagnetic waves of various frequencies, there is no weapon on the body, and the carrying capacity is also abandoned.

According to the information transmitted by the Euglena, it can be analyzed that there are three main battlefields of firefight between the 3789th Division and the "Wind of Silver Wings".

One is the Eastern Front battlefield 1,300 kilometers north of the equator, probably because it is close to the logistics base of the 3789th Division, where the battle is the most intense.

Second, it was actually a battlefield on the western front 800 kilometers south of the equator. Tang Fang was taken aback when he saw the geographic coordinates of the anxious areas on both sides and the troops invested by both sides. First of all, the geographic coordinates are clearly the strong acid vapor area 20 kilometers west of the S102 area marked by the previous "reconnaissance" mission.

Fighting in that area? Are both parties looking for death?

Third, a fierce confrontation was also staged on the equator line in the north of the S102 area. From the marching route of the logistics support troops, it should be a military operation carefully arranged by the Sulu Imperial Army to intercept the support.

There is also a doubt here. The Sulu Imperial Army has a logistics supply route, while the Mengya Imperial Army has no logistics support troops. Judging from the scale of the current exchange of fire, the total investment of troops on both sides has reached four brigades, with almost 12,000 people.

As far as he knows, the total number of Silver Wings and the 3789 Division is only about 25,000 people. While opening the first and second main battlefields, where did the four brigades of the third battlefield come from?

Unless the Mengya Empire has airdrop support from the space fleet, this can explain why there is no logistical supply line. Contacting the overall situation of Nami Star, I am afraid that the airdrop troops of the Mengya Empire are heading for the second battlefield.

The two sides actually competed for two places. The first was the logistics base of the 3789 division, and the second was 20 kilometers west of the S102 area, namely: the cargo ship take-off and landing platform of the Ipsilon.

Tang Fang's first reaction was that the Epsilon ruins were exposed. Otherwise, there would be no way for the two sides to go to war across the board, but... how is this possible!

Euglena can only feed back reconnaissance information for him, but cannot analyze or calculate things. Tang Fang and the three have been underground for the past few days, and they have no idea what happened.

Looking at Nami Xing's overall battle situation again, he moved in his heart and found a way.

The location of the three of them is not far from the logistics base of the 3789th Division, and it is only 50KM away. The reason why they chose to come out from here is because Tang Fang is not sure about the progress of the Thunder Fleet's deciphering. The general control center is independent of the refinery factory. A fully enclosed system, if you rashly choose the lift platform that leads directly to the main control center, it may be exposed to the muzzle of the guards of the 3789th Division as soon as it comes up. A slight negligence is the result of drinking bullets and dying.

For the sake of safety, he chose a location not too far from the target location. As a sergeant, he did not know the deployment of the 3789th Division. But where is the first brigade's camp, he is very clear, according to the past combat experience, it is in the blind spot for reconnaissance, the hinterland of the 3789 division, except for the occasional patrol vehicles passing by, it should be a relatively safe area.

However, the plan could not change quickly, and the tug-of-war on the first battlefield on the Eastern Front made it difficult for the "Silver Wing Wind" mechanized infantry division to achieve the expected goal. Division commander Wilder Lester was very eager to break the deadlock, so some mechanized companies used as backup supplementary forces were placed on the south, west and north sides of the 3789th Division Logistics Base by him, trying to find the opponent's defense. Loopholes, quickly expand the results, and finally achieve the purpose of breaking through the opponent's defense circle.

This kind of rushing away has brought heavy defensive pressure to the 3789 Division, and at the same time, it has also created insurmountable obstacles for Tang Fang and the three to sneak into operations.

In order to enter the general control center, the firepower encirclement network constructed by the combat units belonging to the "Silver Wing Wind" must first be torn apart, then the forward position of the 3789th Division must be broken through, and finally the ground fortifications on the periphery of the logistics base must be paralyzed.

"This is the deployment of troops at 50KM around the base of the 3789th Division." Tang Fang marked the scanning results of the Euglena on the electronic topographic map, and then sent it to Aros and Hausen: "If you want to reach the general control center, We have to cut a bloody path between the two."

Hausen didn't have much reaction to Tang Fang's bloody path. After all, he faced Raman, Rachel, statue guards, bat demons, and even the one-eyed monster earlier, which one is not difficult to chew. Bone, hard-to-break melon? It's been too much to rush out of a bloody path, enough to be numb.

What he was curious about was how Tang Fang got the troop deployment map of both sides, and it was so detailed and precise.

Aros raised his head to look at the flying insects with strange eyes above.

Seeing that there was no response from the two, Tang Fang nodded without explaining much. After instructing the Euglena to hatch the Mimic, he took it back into the system space.

In all fairness, the Euglena, as a reconnaissance unit, is too large in size. It does not have the stealth ability like the Human Race Banshee or the Protoss Dingdang (detector), and it is easily discovered by the enemy.

If it is a position of equal power to advance the battle, the shortcoming of Euglena is nothing. However, in the current environment where the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is like the black silk miniskirt of the young woman in the night market, conveying a kind of , "Brother I am very SAO, I want to be an official" wild taste.

Tang Fang didn't know which part of the Euglena "born" or "vomited" the Mimic Worm. Anyway, he didn't see it clearly. When he retracted the Euglena and turned his attention to his eyes, he discovered that these were slimy and had grown on their bodies. There are not only one reptile of energy sarcoma, but as many as three.

Thinking about the Euglena's nearly 40-meter-long body, he was relieved again. After all, reality is different from games, so a behemoth can only hatch one mimetic chick at a time? Who believes it!

Hausen opened his eyes angrily, looked at the sky without the worm, and then looked at the imitation chick in front of him, and it took a long time before he could say a word: "It's the cub?"

Tang Fang teased and sent an instruction to the Mimic Young Insect, only to see this extremely ugly guy shrink his head into the shell, twist it twice, actually straightened up, and quickly changed into the appearance of Hausen.

This sudden scene shocked the two of them. Hausen shivered suddenly, his scalp tingled, and he took the gun directly: "Damn, why did it suddenly look like me?"

Tang Fang was in no hurry to explain, and sent an instruction to the other two young insects. As the mimetic young insects twisted for a while, the new "Aros" and "Tang Fang" appeared in front of them in turn.

"OHSHIT!" Hausen looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Aros is much more stable, just squinting his eyes, his face returns to normal. A creature that can change form at will, what does this mean? Spying on intelligence? Lurking behind enemy lines? Conspiracy to assassinate? This thing will be the most capable ace spy in human history.

He only said that the Mimic Hatchlings were the same as all the Zerg units that Tang Fang had summoned before, as long as they didn't die, they could live forever. In fact, the mimetic chick is a special kind of parasite-like creature. Once it is separated from its mother, its body cells will rapidly age, weaken, and eventually die.

As for how long the mimic larvae can live, is it the same as in the game, only a short 160 seconds? Judging from the feedback from the Euglena, it is obviously incorrect. In the real world, they are much longer-lived, surviving up to 72 hours, and are aggressive, capable of piercing the target's body with the bone blades at the front of both arms.
