Invincible Chapter 385

Three behemoth-class battlecruisers, like a flashing sharp blade, came directly near the corpse of Leviathan, trying to scoop out the most delicious meat.

This area is more like the set of a magical thriller at this time. It is foggy and hazy caused by various lights that are difficult to determine the source. A large number of dead insect corpses can always be seen nearby, like meteorite fragments from the asteroid belt. The slag is scattered and floating, and the speed is very low. With the hull armor of the battle cruiser, they are not afraid of colliding with it at all.

On the battlecruiser Nemea, Leon frowned while listening to the AI's gas analysis report. There was a large amount of ammonia and methane, which were the main components of the gas flowing out of the Zerg's huge ship creature. Element? Not only is it smelly, but it is also flammable, which is very unsafe.

In fact, this just proves that the zerg are also using high-energy gas as a fuel.

In the SC universe, whether it is human beings, protoss, or Zerg, it is found that this hydrocarbon is the most abundant and efficient fuel in the known universe.

For Protoss, high-energy gas is also a catalyst for psionic reactions, which generally refers to hydrogen. In fact, human ingestion also has reactions such as excitement and hallucinations.

Zerg, on the other hand, can absorb nutrients from it, speeding up its metabolism and reproduction.

Generally speaking, the so-called evolution of life can be understood as the process of adapting to the environment. From adapting to the environment of the parent star, to adapting to the solar system where the parent star is located, and then to the wider galaxy, whoever can better use the elements provided by the environment will be able to survive better.

The feature that the Zergs absorb high-energy gas almost directly proves that from the perspective of biological evolution, they are already standing at a higher point.

But that doesn't get rid of the fact that they are stinky, and slimy.

This is the main feeling of the special forces dispatched by Leon entering the interior of the Leviathan wreckage.

It's not like the marines expected, traveling in a huge biological cavity, everywhere is soft and has no serious shape.

Not like that, the interior of Leviathan is more like a combination of large and small caves, vaults, and tunnels. The outline of the foundation is relatively clear, and it is not too soft. The ground covered with creepers is like stepping on hard rubber. Occasionally, some places are like clay that has not been trampled out of the water. You can feel the juiciness underneath, but the shell on the top is relatively hard and does not stick to your feet.

But the things like transparent glue or snot dripping everywhere really make people feel bad. The marines got information that this is the 'honey' that the Zergs like very much, and some marines even joked about it: "The bugs have entered the happy stage of opening their mouths, and the sky is raining honey. "

Although there is power armor with airtightness comparable to spacesuits,

There is no need to breathe the foul smell, and there is no need to worry about directly touching the mucus on the skin. The Marines still feel as if they have entered the tropical rainforest and are suffering from the sweltering heat and sticky discomfort.

Fortunately, the gravity here is normal, even a little higher. This is good news for the soldiers of the Marine Corps. I can't help feeling aggrieved and depressed.

However, they soon discovered that they were happy a little early. Compared to this, normal gravity is undoubtedly more beneficial to the Zerg.

The first death was caused by the sudden attack of the needle-spine reptile. The huge bone-like multi-edged giant spear flew suddenly from the darkness and mist, and directly poked a huge hole in the human body. Look at the proportions , if he was not wearing power armor, he would probably have been stabbed in two.

Such injuries accounted for more than 20% of the body and were concentrated in the thoracic cavity. Naturally, even medical treatment was not required, and he died tragically on the spot.

And so began the battle.

Together with the giant spear with a long and flexible shaft like a steel cable, it is the most numerous zergling among the zerg.

The springtail is about the same size as a German shepherd, but it looks heavier with scales and armor, and has sickle limbs like the skeleton of ungrown angel wings, a whip tail, and some have dorsal fins or wings. This makes it look more powerful.

From a human point of view, most of the Zergs have more or less dinosaur features, sharp teeth and claws, typical carnivorous beasts.

The springtails made all kinds of strange calls and jumped out of the mist-like smoke. This is a tactic. The sound is not only intimidating, but also a kind of confusion. They will also engage in tricks that are confusing and tricky.

If the number is not large, they use this type of ventriloquist to contain the opponent. On the contrary, once the number increases, they will not be so fierce, and they will kill them silently.

The Marines soon discovered that bugs were everywhere.

"This is a trap! This is a trap!" The marines in charge of monitoring shouted hoarsely in the channel.

He is carrying a psionic detector, which can not only lock on the mission target with the strongest psionic energy, but also detect the position of ordinary Zergs.

Because even the lowest-level springtails communicate through psionic energy, or telepathy, and the various calls they make are more like modal particles commonly used by humans, and basically do not involve specific content.

But now, the marines found that their party was tricked, and the Zergs would actually play a trick similar to radio silence. They lurk underground, do not move, do not happen, just like a stubborn rock, and people walk over their heads , they also do not respond.

When the time is right, the communication is completed through regular vibration transmission similar to code words, and then breaks out of the ground to form a siege.

Therefore, in the monitor of the marines, a large number of Zerg signals appeared in all directions and were besieged.

The leadership quality of the Marine Corps is not bad, and immediately commanded the Marines to form a group, the medical soldiers and heavy weapon carriers were placed in the inner circle, and the others stood shoulder to shoulder, leaving the flanks and backs to their comrades.

In this context, what the marines hate the most is the flying spear of the spine reptile. This kind of stabbing, even if it is encountered by a main battle tank, will have a hole in the body, and the power armor of the marines will naturally bear it. I can't help it, so I can only avoid it.

However, although this thing does not sweep and draw like the Meteor Hammer, but only pokes, and the attack angle is relatively limited, its trajectory is still difficult to figure out, and it is often too late to hide when it is seen.

Shooting at this kind of thing is not very meaningful, the former is extremely hard, the latter is extremely tough, and they come and go quickly. Neither can be easily destroyed. You can only get close to the spine reptile and hit its body , to resolve it.

With Zerg besieging, it is very difficult to advance, so people are constantly being poked, or the tight queue structure is destroyed, resulting in omissions in the firepower network.

Zergs are very sensitive and are good at seizing this kind of opportunity. Wherever the firepower is weak, they will launch a fierce attack from there. The marines who did it were devastated.

But soon, they don't have to worry about it, or they can't care about it, and a new kind of Zerg appears.

Banelings!

This secondary mutation on the basis of springtails consumes a large amount of high-energy gas to obtain abundant corrosive acid. Its size is like a go-kart full of items.

Because the body is too fat, the normal crawling speed is too slow, so they all roll.

As soon as the marines saw this kind of thing, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

The main reason is that the anger sac of the baneling is too intuitive. The visual effect is like a fluorescent water sac being wrapped in a large net. The trembling effect of a lot of water inside is very reminiscent of using latex when I was a child. The water sac formed by filling the glove with water, but the poisonous green glowing color is an easily recognizable warning color, and people can tell at a glance that there is probably nothing good in it, especially now on the battlefield.

"Shoot it!"

Gauss rifle 8MM nail bullets rained down.

However, the Banelings are much stronger than they look, and have a large explosion range, and there are other Zerglings covering them. Most importantly, they are numerous...

"Dodge, pay attention to dodge!"

What's the use? Tragedy has filled the tea table of life.

Banelings exploded, and the effect of acid corrosion was stronger than the effect of directly splashing strong sulfuric acid on a person. The power armor was corroded and smoked, and even the human body was corroded into a pile of rotten flesh. The melting effect, as well as the screams that don't sound like a human voice, will be a nightmare for the survivors.

This Marine Corps is pretty much done.

In the original historical line, almost no new type of zerg appeared, which could make the Protoss and humans jump around for a while, causing a lot of casualties.

The debut of the new type means that the tactics of the Zerg have become richer, and of course there is an increase in logistical pressure and an increase in preparation time.

Therefore, Zergs do not blindly pursue the diversity of tactics and the power of individual soldiers. Sometimes they are basic units, such as Zerglings, Hydralisks, and at most flying mantises, which are simple, fast, and powerful.

What Leon encountered this time was obviously a cerebrum who liked to show off his technology, not only the secondary evolution units such as Devourer, Corruptor, and Baneling, but also the Lurker, a heavy unit evolved from Hydralisk.

The retreating Marines watched as they charged, burrowed into the ground in front of them, and launched a series of jagged blade thrusts at the ground.

This kind of monomolecular blade that suddenly spewed out from the ground can spray up to about two meters, and it has a certain sawing effect. It is really indescribably miserable to be hit by this super millennium killer. The key is that it cannot be judged. When does a row of spikes appear and what direction does it go.

There's no question people are pushing Gravity right now, as it's clearly more beneficial to the Zerg side.

The Marine Corps went from boldly penetrating deep to fleeing desperately, and the three ships waiting outside were having a hard time.

It started with a few flying mantises.

This battle cruiser is not very afraid, their blade worms have limited damage to the battle cruiser, but the battle cruiser's ATA artillery can quickly smash these flying mantises to pieces.

But the situation quickly deteriorated. The flying mantis not only increased in number, but also evolved a second time in front of the ship, forming a huge cocoon in the airspace filled with related substances (gas).

For the human side, there is nothing to say, daring to pretend this is more than stepping on the awareness of the face, smashing!

Then after firing the cannon, it was discovered that the flying mantis in the cocoon state was really strong enough, and the volley of cannons could not break it, but hit it far away like a baseball.

This is very embarrassing. It was originally static, but after a row of cannonballs, it is now like marbles, rolling and floating around. Then they broke out of their cocoons one after another, becoming Devourers, Corruptors, and Guardians.

The same amount, but the damage can be said to be doubled. The three battlecruisers quickly felt the pressure, and Leon was also gritted his teeth and looked hideous due to the frequent loss reports.

In the bridge combat command room, many people secretly looked at him, waiting for him to give the evacuation order.

It has obviously failed. It is hard to say how many marines who went in to capture the cerebrates will escape in the end. Even if Leon chooses to completely abandon those people now and jump away immediately, no one will object to it. After all, if he continues to play like this, It only takes a few minutes for the three battlecruisers to be reimbursed.

However, Leon was not willing to admit defeat. It was not his nature to deal with bad debts on Chosara planet, but there was a reason for being manipulated.

He himself knew very well, given his situation at the time, how important the quality of 'obedience' was.

"Being obedient" not only gave him a chance, but also gained him some fame and power. As a result, he encountered the gray beard who would tear him apart, lost several new battlecruisers, and the commander of the fleet, plus the loss of New Wellington and The death of a large number of people, the popularity and credit he had accumulated before, can be said to have been exported at once, and there is still a deficit.

He believes that he must take advantage of the rare opportunity and take advantage of the fact that he has not lost his command right now, and give it a go. Otherwise, even if he is not in the cold palace, what awaits him is an evaluation of "unusable" and the fate of being thrown to the second line. Generally, there are a lot of resources, contacts, etc. to support him.

With this in mind, Leon Fox made a bold decision to ask for help from the Golden Fleet, encouraging it to jump here and participate in the kidnapping of the cerebrate together...
