Chapter 899: Flying Locusts and the Star Slayer Project

The human strength is balance, but sometimes, balance means mediocrity.

At night, humans need to sleep. But the Zerg don't need it.

A large number of locusts are in high spirits, and they are even more excited amid the screams of the imperial soldiers.

Some imperial soldiers didn't even put on their armor, and they were about to be hit by the saliva bombs swarmed by locusts. Their bodies shook like a sieve, and their eyes widened in resignation.

And the corpse will be corroded within a few seconds so that not even the bones are left.

The first counterattack by the imperial troops was the bunker cluster. The marines in the bunker would not take off their armor. Once they knew the situation, they would use the advantage of the bunker to buy time for the troops to counterattack.

But Lin Fan doesn't need to worry about the casualty rate of locusts. Even if these locusts don't die now, these locusts will die due to the exhaustion of their lifespan within a few hours. Therefore, the mission of these locusts is to die. Take a sip from the enemy, or spit out a few more saliva bombs, and let the enemy be buried with him.

In the face of a large number of locusts, the bunker cluster could not resist and was completely covered by locusts.

No matter how hard the marines inside pulled the triggers of their Gauss rifles, what greeted them was only the sound of chewing in the dark. Even if they hadn't been eaten, the mental pressure had already driven them crazy.

When the Firebats were prepared, they were less than half of what they were when they were reorganized, and there was no bunker as a resistance formation. The Firebats alone would still be overwhelmed by the rapid advance of the locusts.

The flames that are effective against the Zerg pair seem like a joke in front of the locusts that don't care about consumption at all.

the next day……

There are only corpses in the ruins, human corpses and locust corpses. The host of the swarm devours these corpses to supplement its own consumption, and then hatches more locusts, and the cycle repeats.

However, the Imperial forces already knew the news of the swarm's attack on the sentry post, and blew up the nearby bridge, cutting off the possibility of the swarm units on the ground passing by.

However, on this planet, the essence needed by the swarm hosts is already within easy reach.

This is a mutated creature called "Carrion Worm", capable of flying and extremely aggressive.

The swarm host variation has pressurized glands so the locusts can launch ranged attacks on air units.

These carrion insects have a strong desire to attack, but their carapaces are weak, so under the swarm attack of locusts, they can easily capture the essence that Abathur needs.

The swarm host immediately absorbs the essence and mutates into carrion insects. The newly produced locusts will have the ability to fly, and their attack speed and desire to kill will become stronger, but their lifespan will be shortened by half.

Opposite the bridge cut off by the imperial forces is the fusion silo facility. The imperial forces do not have many troops stationed here because there are heavy guard posts in front.

It's just that I didn't expect that so many troops on the sentry post would fall so easily.

But with the essence of carrion insects, the locusts of the swarm host can fly, and the hatching speed has been increased by one-fifth, which will hatch more locust troops faster.

Even though the fusion silo on the opposite side of the bridge has missile turrets, these missile turrets are dazzled by the overwhelming number of flying locusts, and they were blown up in front of the force majeure.

The loss of the fusion silo made the local Imperial commander very angry, and he took the initiative to dispatch the most mobile Hellion tank in the Imperial army, and the flame attack was also very effective against the Zerg.

However, the intelligence of the imperial troops was flawed. Flying locusts could not be attacked by the Hellion Chariot at all, so this menacing Hellion Chariot was almost dead.

Even though the Hellfire Chariot wanted to sneak attack the swarm host, but under the monitoring of the expanded field of vision of the king worm, the Hellfire Chariot couldn't intercept the swarm host at all, but was beaten everywhere by the high mobility of the flying locusts.

In the end, all the Hellion Chariot troops were killed.

The local Imperial commanders again opted for a last stand, blowing up bridges and cutting off the possibility of ground swarm units getting through.

And sent a large number of Goliath robots and siege tanks to form a joint formation.

Originally, the siege tank's siege mode had a very long range, but the swarm host's locking range was farther, so it was impossible for the siege tank to monitor the swarm on the other side of the bridge.

Perhaps this imperial army will think that Lin Fan will send out swarm troops with jumping abilities, such as jumping worms, or hunting worms, and then they can use the piercing shock guns of the siege tanks to catch them all in one go.

It's just that Lin Fan only used the swarm host to attack the planet this time.

After the swarm host took root, it immediately hatched a large number of flying locusts, ignoring the siege tanks, and directly charged into the Goliath robot camp.

The Goliath robot is equipped with rocket nests, and there are also a large number of missile towers nearby to output anti-air strike firepower, but the imperial forces stationed here, especially the anti-air units, are really pitiful.

Under the continuous coverage of flying locusts for two hours, the imperial troops here, together with the fusion silos, were all buried in violent explosions.

Korha lost at least a tenth of his fusion strike power.

For the swarm, this could save billions of casualties, if not more.

the other side.

On a slightly distant planet, Imperial troops killed the worm mother on it.

Mengsk was destroyed by the fusion silo of a planet, so he was naturally unhappy. He wanted to find trouble with the swarm, frantically contracted the front line, and cleaned up all the swarms on the nearby planets, isolating the forces of Kerrigan and Lin Fan .

And on that planet, the wild ashes worms were just the new essence that Abathur needed.

Another mutation of the swarm host requires the essence of the ash worm, and the newly mutated swarm host can turn the tide and completely stop the imperial army's star-slaying plan.

Lin Fan took over the Zerg forces on the coordinate planet through the king worm as a signal connection, and ordered a swarm host army to capture the essence of the ash worm.

Cinderworms can move quickly under the soil layer, are very flexible and agile, and can spit out terrible acid like magma.

However, Abathur has other understandings about the new mutated form of the swarm host, instead of copying the genetic structure of the ash worm.
