Chapter 1047
Democratic Commonwealth Planet Versailles,
Fron and Qi Yu, two elders of the Explorers' Guild, were sitting in the garden in the mountain pass drinking tea and playing chess. The two old men's chess skills were evenly matched. He squinted and resolutely refused to look at the chessboard, and stared at the pot of bluegrass in front of him, as if he could see a flower right away.
Qi Yu fell down, and said, "I have received news that the Ye Yan Luo explorer group has returned to Burgess."
Fron's chess piece fell after Qi Yu's, took a sip of the teacup with one hand, and said with a smile, "You are well informed."
"Don't talk nonsense with me, just tell me whether the news is true or not?"
"Yes" Fronn didn't make a fool of himself, "There are indeed reports that they found traces of the Eggcake and saw them enter Burgess."
Qi Yu was happy now, and without thinking too much, he fell down again, "Haha, I knew it, that little girl will not be killed so easily, the future is bright."
Ye Yanluo's group of explorers disappeared mysteriously and disappeared for two years. The first year was fine, but from the second year onwards, there were more and more such rumors, and the rumors seemed to be true.
And it is true that no one can contact anyone in the Ye Yanluo explorer group. They seem to have disappeared. Even the Burgess planetary fortress has disappeared from the public's sight, quietly hiding, pretending not to exist.
But there are a lot of ambitious gluttons in this world, so no one can stop thinking about a big cake, including some discordant voices in the Explorers' Guild.
"Hmph, those people have lived in comfort for a long time, and learned some official tunes from the Star Alliance Council." Elder Fron sneered with contempt.
"It's good to be back." Qi Yu shook the teacup in his hand, "I don't know if it's okay to send a message. I'm still waiting for her to send me two bottles of medicine."
"What's your salary"
The two are very much looking forward to the return of Ye Yanluo explorers group, and Froen is the person in charge of the cooperation between the Explorers Guild and Burgess Institute of Pharmacy. The pressure is not small.
"Is Shenci Pharmaceutical still monitoring? I heard that someone has contacted them."
"Short-sighted" Fronn chased after Qiyu's son just now, "I'm looking forward to the new potion developed by Burgess, and I contacted that kid Lakov a while ago, saying that there is a bottleneck waiting for Mo Ye to come back to discuss, presumably Don't need to wait too long”
When Lu Rover was adding tea to the two elders, he accidentally glanced at the chessboard that the two elders couldn't bear to look at.
He was stunned for a moment, and the honest and honest tall man quickly turned his head when he came back to his senses, holding back very hard. I would rather go chopping firewood and carrying water and run around with heavy loads than watch two elders play chess. internal injury.
"Beles has fallen," Fronn said suddenly after falling down, "The council has given up on the rescue and left this matter to the guild."
Elder Qiyu's happy mood suddenly became heavy because of the news of Ye Yanluo's return of explorers, "According to the current situation, the day of full-scale war may not be far away."
The two old men who had experienced the last Zerg War sighed at the same time.
…
Mo Ye didn't know that two elders of the Explorers Guild were thinking about her. Your Excellency the mage is very busy. At night, he is busy for scoring points... er... no... for humanitarian search and rescue.
The team of lava ants moves neatly and quickly along the ground, like a string of red light extending on the surface, sometimes flickering because of obstacles. It looks like a light show.
Mo Ye got off the speeding car and looked at the fast-moving red spots in the distance.
"what is that?"
Xiao Qi quickly replied, "Lava ants. A small species of insects with fire attributes"
The small one is different from the huge body of most powerful Zerg. The lava ant is petite, only as big as a walnut. It is bigger than ordinary insects, but it is really petite among the Zerg. The energy contained in it is very powerful.
It is precisely because of its small size that it is very difficult to defend and attack against lava ants, and it is very difficult to target targeted attacks. And large-scale lethal weapons are not suitable, because every lava ant contains hot lava-like substances that may burst.
Once a large-scale explosion occurs. The chain reaction caused is enough to cause large-scale indiscriminate damage. If the bug is dead, the people nearby will not be able to live.
Many areas in Beres were turned into scorched earth because they attacked the lava ant colony during the defensive counterattack.
Small but powerful is the most accurate description of lava ants. There are too many restrictions on hunting it, unless they plan to die together from the beginning.
"This is the first scouting team of the lava ants. According to their habit, they will send out small troops to search first, and then send out messages to summon the same kind."
These detailed information about the lava ants are what Xiao Qi saw from the latest version of the "Zerg List".
Where lava ants walk, a deep gully will be left. That is because lava ants have their own high temperature, just like burning hot iron eggs rolling on the ground. Scorch marks.
These red ants didn't realize that there was a human being behind them, they walked straight along the street, and the long team moved forward neatly.
Soon, the lava ant colony in front of them stopped, as if they had discovered something.
"Master, they are spreading news by rubbing the ground with high-frequency vibrations"
As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, Mo Ye saw these long red teams collectively turning around. They were like bees that smelled the fragrance of flowers, and when they smelled human beings, they acted aggressively, and the number began to increase.
Mo Ye asked a little uncertainly, "Are these ants counting points one by one?"
Xiaoqi nodded, "Yes, master."
Mo Ye just wanted to say that this is really great.
Isn't this a good opportunity to score points!
Mo Ye has been following these ants, trying to see where they will take her.
During this period, Xiaoqi did not forget to give Mo Ye popular knowledge about the habits and characteristics of lava ants.
Walnut-sized lava ants are filled with hot magma. As long as they absorb enough fire-attribute energy, the magma they erupt will be quickly replenished. The inside of their bodies is like a small magma manufacturing factory. A volcano that can erupt.
Even one is not much of a threat. But they have always lived in groups, and their reproductive ability is extremely strong. As long as there is a healthy queen ant, they can continuously produce and reproduce the next generation. Millions of eggs come to this world every day, and it only takes two or three days to kill them. The number expanded to hundreds of millions, which is also one of the important reasons for the rapid fall of Berez.
These lava ants have done a great job.
"Based on the speed at which Beres fell, it is estimated that there are at least a hundred queen ants here."
Ant queens are different from regular lava ants. They are larger in size. On the surface, it looks more like a volcanic rock, with a length ranging from three to ten meters, except for the basic defense and reproduction capabilities. The Queen Ant does not have any offensive ability, it needs a lot of Lava Ants to guard.
It doesn't seem to be a particularly difficult task to transport the queen of the lava ants into Beres, if there is an internal response.
The Zerg seem to be naturally good at destroying the environment. With no purpose at all, the lava ants haunted the night and began to deeply damage the planet Beres and clean up possible survivors.
…
Mada and Gascar are cousins. Both of them were born in poor families, and they started working at the trading pier in Beres early to support their families. It was just an ordinary day, but those meteorites fell from the sky. The magma seeping from the surface, the inexplicable burning fire, and the bustling pier are full of people running wildly. He didn't know what happened, he only knew that he was holding each other's hand and fled with the crowd.
Then the odd-looking Zerg appeared. The number of fleeing people began to decrease, and they died one after another. Gasgar was not strong enough to fall behind and was abandoned by the fleeing team. Ma Da chose to leave with Gasgar. Instead of fleeing with the large group, the two found an abandoned underground warehouse to hide went in.
There is no food, no water source, and if you continue to stay, you are waiting for death.
"Moda, I'm hungry"
"I'm hungry too"
They must go out to find food or they will starve to death.
"Ma Da, did you say that there will be a rescue force to rescue us?"
Da Da didn’t know how to answer this question. After a while of silence, he finally said, “There will definitely be.” Although he was not sure in his heart, several days passed, and on the second day after the Zerg invasion, the planet’s network signal experienced serious interference. By the third day, it had completely collapsed.
Not hearing any news of reinforcements, Ma Da felt that perhaps Beles Planet had been abandoned, and they had been abandoned along with the fallen planet.
But he didn't want to give up hope, didn't want to die.
Two half-grown teenagers sat back to back on the floor of the underground warehouse, looking up at the ceiling. They didn't know what was going on outside, and they didn't even dare to open the warehouse door to take a look.
If they hadn't run away with two packets of biscuits in their pockets, they would have starved to death and licked the last crumbs from their fingernails.
The two supported each other and stood up, no matter what, they had to fight for food!
Turning around in the underground warehouse, the two held an iron rod and a metal object similar to the sunroof of a floating car in their hands. They looked at each other, gritted their teeth, opened the warehouse door, carefully poked their heads out, and looked around. No Zerg stepped forward.
Walking along the stairs to the street, the two of them stopped and could no longer move forward. They froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Nothing, nothing. The whole city was in ruins. It was a quiet night. Only the whistling wind made the two teenagers realize at this moment that their home was gone.
The eye sockets began to turn red, and the knuckles holding the iron rod and the skylight cover turned blue.
"Moda, can we survive?"
"Yes, definitely can"
The young man didn't know that night was the active time of some Zerg races, and night could hide their figures, as well as those ferocious Zerg warriors.
They are like ferocious beasts waiting for their prey in the night, ready to tear the human beings who appear at any time into pieces and burn them to ashes.
When they saw the huge video and video in front of them, the two teenagers who had never been in contact with the Zerg didn't even know what it was. They almost exclaimed that there was a monster, and then...
The iron rod and the skylight cover performed their functions super-levelly. Using various methods such as poking, inserting, and whipping, a beetle more than one meter high fell to the ground, leaving a green sticky juice all over the ground.
Because of the destruction of their homeland, the unknown life and death of their family members and the fear in their hearts, the two teenagers broke out with amazing fighting power. The bug died, but they lost their strength and were about to be unable to stand.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and before they had time to celebrate their victory in the first battle, they lost their strength and fell down.
Although the Zerg that left the team was killed, it didn't mean that they were safe at this time, but they fell into a more dangerous situation because of their loss of strength.
Red dots of light appeared in front of Mada and Gaska from far to near. They were lava ants who came smelling the smell. Their mission was to destroy all life on the planet.
"Ma Da, I see a red light, is it the rescue team?"
Da Da really wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn't do anything because he was out of strength, "That's the Zerg" probably really died this time, I'm really not reconciled!
Had I known this earlier, I should have come out two days earlier when I was stronger, and maybe I could have killed a few more.
With a trace of reluctance and fear, the two teenagers waited for death to come.
However, the expected hot lava did not fall for a long time. The moment the burst of magma fell, it was swallowed up by the ice, and the whole from the surface to the mid-air condensed into a half-hanging ice sculpture, wrapped in ice blue. It was glowing hot red, hanging no more than ten centimeters away in front of them.
Then a jet-black figure appeared in their line of sight, looking down at the two exhausted teenagers.
Mo Ye's eyes lingered briefly on the two teenagers, making sure that they were still panting, so he stopped paying more attention. He didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from following the lava ants, the two survivors.
After throwing the healing light to ensure that the lives of the two survivors were safe, Mo Ye turned his attention to the lava ants in front of him.
The frozen one is only part of it, and there is still a large wave of red light gathering.
Mo Ye waited patiently, waiting for them to gather more and more. Looking at these egg-sized red ants, Mo Ye's eyeballs were full of rapidly beating points.
When the red light gathered more and more densely into a large area, Mo Ye finally made a move, and the ruins were completely frozen in a radius of hundreds of meters.
This is just the first step. The lava ants didn't really cut off their vitality. They were only temporarily frozen. The vitality of the Zerg has always been tenacious.
This is naturally not enough for Mo Ye.
Suddenly a strong wind blew in the quiet night. (to be continued)
