Chapter 316 Insect Man

It sure looks like a worm grave, but how did it come to be?

All the insect holes elsewhere had been mined, and dozens of spaceships joined in the excavation of insect corpses, forcibly opening a huge gap in the round mountain. Below, there are still endless insect corpses, which have reached twenty or thirty meters in size. The insect shells are hard and cannot be broken easily.

"If someone told me at this time that this entire mountain is made up of all the bugs on the floating island, I wouldn't doubt it!" William couldn't help but say.

"It's completely possible!" Cheng Ying, the commander of the combat system, also said solemnly.

Everyone agreed. No wonder there were no bugs in all the bug holes. They all died here. They all suspected that it was a god-level powerhouse who directly wiped out this group of Zerg with powerful and unpredictable means? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the scene we are seeing so far. It is impossible for the insects to pile up here in clear layers and commit collective suicide!

The monitoring spacecraft in the distance issued a reminder that the sinking trend of the floating island has reached its end and is about to rebound and restart the ebb tide stage. At this time, the portion of the floating island exposed to the sea surface is only more than 5,000 kilometers in size.

In this case, at least there is no need to worry about the area being flooded, so the excavation continues.

Judging from what we have seen so far, the insect corpses are distributed very regularly. The closer to the bottom of the center, the more advanced the insects are. The strange place must be at the bottom of the center of the mountain. So after digging out a corner of the edge, Guan Tong ordered to change the method, build a conveyor belt, and use a large shield machine to dig a twenty-meter-wide tunnel from the foot of the insect corpse mountain to the center. After all, it is simply unrealistic to dig out half of a mountain that is tens of kilometers long.

But they soon ran into problems. The small insect corpses at the beginning were okay and could be shielded down in large areas. But after digging for two kilometers, the insect corpses became larger and larger, and the insect shell became so hard that it jammed the shield machine and was unable to advance. Moreover, the tunnel that has been dug is very unstable. The insect corpses above will fall down and may collapse at any time.

A group of leaders and experts are scratching their heads. Is it really necessary to excavate half of the mountain dozens of kilometers away?

Finally, Guan Tong gritted his teeth and ordered to dig a sinkhole from the center of the top of the mountain. Although it is difficult to recover the insect corpses dug up, after all, it is better to dig only five kilometers deep than to dig dozens of kilometers into the mountain.

The fleet began to move ants, digging a large hole with a diameter of one kilometer in the center. Later, they discovered that it was actually faster to dig this way, because the insect corpses at the back were often tens of meters large, so they simply used energy traction ropes to lift them out one by one. Even some warships joined the process of lifting and dismantling them.

Soon, the size of the insect corpse reached more than 100 meters. This was already the size of a high-level insect soldier, indicating that it was almost time to reveal the truth. Everyone is looking forward to it and at the same time keeping their minds up to cope with any emergencies.

The scene here was simultaneously transmitted back to the branch, and other senior leaders of the branch were also nervously paying attention to the progress.

On the first day, the top layer was excavated one kilometer deep. On the second day, as the insect body increased in size, the excavation efficiency was greatly improved, and three kilometers were excavated in one fell swoop. I dug five kilometers on the third day...

This is wrong. We have dug nine kilometers deep and have already exceeded the height of the mountain. However, the insect corpse continued to grow, reaching more than 200 meters, but it still seemed to have no end.

"Damn it, it turned out to be a huge valley. It was filled and piled high by bugs to form this big mountain." Everyone reacted, and at the same time they were even more afraid of the Zerg.

How many bugs must there be to create such an effect!

Excavations continued and expanded further.

Looking at the bottom and surroundings from inside the pit, the dense accumulation of insect corpses can make people turn pale with fright, and even those who are timid dare not look at it. On the maintenance spacecraft, many female soldiers were so frightened that they had nightmares.

After another three days of digging, the diameter of the mouth of the pit reached five kilometers and it went ten kilometers underground. Bugs over 500 meters in size began to appear, resembling cockroaches.

"This is a female insect, at least level five!" An expert pointed out on the fleet channel.

Subsequently, more and more female corpses were discovered, some like cockroaches, some like snails, some like praying mantises, and some like centipedes... They have all evolved hard shells and terrifying weapons, and they are not weak. Weak maggot shape. It is estimated that even if there is a maggot type, it has been corrupted and decomposed.

It seems that we are really close to the bottom this time. It will be hard to buy this bottom!

Ling Qi drove the maintenance spacecraft forward. In order to prevent others from saying that he was in the way, he also used a mechanical arm to grab an insect shell, and then used an energy traction rope to lift another one and move it out of the pit.

"These high-grade insect shells can be used in many applications, whether for civilian or military use. Each battleship and spaceship should bundle one or two of them and take them back!" Guan Tong said at this time.

After receiving the order, those warships lowered their altitude one after another and collected some high-grade insect shells hoisted out from the periphery of the pit. But these insect shells were too big, often hundreds of meters high, and could not be stored in the warehouse. They had no choice but to tie them to the ship with energy ropes as Guan Tong said.

"Engineer Ling Qi, please leave the pit, this is not your job." Chen Fan also said at this time.

How could Ling Qi agree? He was prepared to steal... no, pick up some slime crystals from level 9 female worms once he was sure that this was a level 9 insect den, so he said enthusiastically: "It doesn't matter, I can't help but I can help quickly." point!"

Chen Fan was speechless. Such a pit could not accommodate many spaceships working at the same time. Didn't you see that the battleships and many spaceships nearby were idle? In fact, there were only twenty escort warships carrying the insect shells at this time. The technical teams were tired and were resting aboard to wait for the results.

But Ling Qi was not lazy, but took the initiative to work diligently. He couldn't blame him, so he had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it.

"Let's go help too!" someone said on the fleet channel, and then two more warships joined the ranks of moving corpses and insect shells.

It was Qu Shaocheng and Weng Jiahong. Their addition disrupted the original sequence. There was some disorder in the work that was originally as orderly as ants moving. Guan Tong was so angry that he scolded the two for causing chaos.

However, the two went their own way, determined to be hard-working children, and tenaciously participated in the transportation. Several other warships had to withdraw before the work could return to continuity.

In the battleship, Qu Shaocheng was contacting Ling Qi: "What are you trying to achieve? You are a guy who doesn't like rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks. You must want to do something, otherwise you wouldn't be so active."

Ling Qi yelled in his heart: Damn it, no wonder they came up to him. He was curious, when did this guy know him so well?

Naturally, he would not admit his intention. He looked down at Qu Shaocheng and said, "I am always active. Didn't you see that I have been actively doing maintenance in the past few days?"

Qu Shaocheng narrowed his eyes, as if this was indeed the case, but he still subconsciously thought that there was something fishy about Ling Qi's move. Therefore, he and Weng Jiahong were determined not to leave the pit, and even jumped in behind Ling Qi, causing Guan Tong to curse again.

At this moment, as another battleship hoisted a huge 800-meter insect shell, the scene below caught everyone's attention.

The thick crystals reflected bright light, which made people's eyes uncomfortable, but they did not look away, and they had no time to think about why the decomposed insect body did not fall down with a layer of plaster to cover the crystals.

Everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by a person standing proudly on the crystal.

No, this is not a human being!

Everyone in the fleet was horrified. They saw clearly that this humanoid creature retained a triangular mantis head. It was a bug man!
