Chapter 135: Wandering Swarm of Insects

"Don't be like a novice on the battlefield for the first time, whining and whining... Be careful, I'll kill you..." Lei Ming used swearing to cover up his inner fear.

In fact, these mercenaries have experience in participating in battles, but they were all scared when they faced the ugly, ferocious and brutal Zerg for the first time.

When the battle really started, their emotions slowly stabilized under the action of adrenaline.

After the first round of attack, they found that the Zerg was not as scary as it looked, it was just a large number.

Qi Yiming also discovered this. This group of Zerg really only looked large in number, and the attack and defense capabilities of a single unit were very weak.

Moreover, only one Leviathan, which was not too big, was found in the Zerg.

This is very unreasonable. Even if the Zerg attacked tentatively, it should not send only one Leviathan.

Did the Zerg split? Did the Zerg Overlord allow this to happen?

Qi Yiming was thinking deeply, and Lei Ming called out repeatedly in the fleet channel: "Qi Yiming...what are you thinking?"

Qi Yiming shook his head and looked after the present first.

Their fleet formed a spherical array, and all the warships, whether main or secondary guns, were firing frantically.

Qi Yiming's Xuefeng, as the core warship on the right side of the spherical array, was mainly responsible for clearing the swarm on the right side of the fleet.

The efficiency of the Xuefeng was very high. After two rounds of shooting, the weapons officer had tested the best charging strength for attacking the swarm, so Qi Yiming basically didn't need to worry about it.

Every time Qi Yiming's super-heavy main gun fired, it would sweep away all the swarms within a 45-degree angle in front of the Xuefeng.

"Are you sure your warship is a cruiser?" Lei Ming, who found that the combat power of the Xuefeng warship was even stronger than his battlecruiser, asked Qi Yiming stutteringly.

Qi Yiming said in a very sure tone: "I am sure. If you don't believe me, you can check the fleet list. The level of the suffix of Xuefeng is a cruiser."

"Then am I dazzled?"

"No... my warship has just undergone some minor modifications."

"Are you kidding me? Is this a problem that can be solved by a minor modification?"

While the two were talking, the two super-heavy main guns on the Xuefeng fired another round, once again clearing the swarm of insects in front of the Xuefeng.

Lei Ming rolled his eyes and looked hopeless, and ignored Qi Yiming.

The pressure on his front was much greater than Qi Yiming. The impact of the swarm did not have any vacuum period at all. Even if all the main guns kept firing, occasionally dozens of flying dragons would pass through the firepower network and rush into the fleet.

If there were no other warships as escorts, Lei Ming's warship would have been riddled with holes long ago.

Lei Ming saw it, and the others were not blind.

The original spherical array of the fleet was based on Lei Ming's battlecruiser as the center of the sphere. As the fleet advanced, Xuefeng was unknowingly placed at the center of the spherical array.

This made Lei Ming, the commander, very embarrassed, but Lei Ming also knew that face was nothing on the battlefield, and survival was the kingly way.

So he acquiesced to this situation.

Zhang Lei, the second commander of the fleet, had long been silent at this time.

On the way to the battlefield, he was the one who shouted the loudest.

He even patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid on the battlefield. As long as I am here, I will never let you lose a hair."

But now, Zhang Lei has no chance to speak at all.

If Lei Ming doesn't help to clean up the swarm in front of him occasionally, it is estimated that his side will become a breakthrough point for the swarm.

The temporary change of the core battleship of the spherical array is the result of the silent operation of everyone in the fleet.

Of course, the result is also satisfactory to everyone.

The Xuefeng in the center of the fleet served as the fire extinguisher for the entire fleet. No matter which direction the Zerg attacked from, as long as there was a sign of a breakthrough, Qi Yiming would immediately order the Xuefeng to support.

Unconsciously, Qi Yiming had even taken over Lei Ming's command.

The fleet advanced slowly until it reached the original battle line, and the density of the Zerg suddenly increased.

When even Qi Yiming felt a little tired, Lei Ming received an order from the fleet commander.

Lei Ming shamelessly relayed the order to Qi Yiming: "The command requires us to stay on the battle line and not retreat a step."

At this time, Qi Yiming, who came to the front of the battle line, clearly observed the specific situation of the Zerg.

Indeed, no other Leviathans were found.

Qi Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. He could now be sure that the Zerg in front of him was not the vanguard of the Zerg master, nor was it sent to test humans. It was very likely that it was an abandoned Zerg.

Qi Yiming had encountered this situation many times when the Human Federation fought against the Zerg.

But if you don't distinguish carefully, it is difficult to distinguish it from the main force of the Zerg.

Because the main force of the Zerg will also send some Zerg with weak strength as pioneers to attack humans before the attack.

The individual capabilities of those Zerg are similar to the Zerg that Qi Yiming is facing now.

The only difference is the number of Leviathans. When the Zerg attacks humans, they will not send only one Leviathan. There will often be more than ten or twenty Leviathans as the main force of the attack.

Moreover, the Zerg that are not exiled can get the support of the Zerg biomass and excellent genes.

In other words, those Zergs can evolve, and they will become stronger and stronger.

Now the Zerg in front of Qi Yiming has no ability to evolve except for its large number. In other words, Leviathan can only hatch a large number of insects with low combat power by consuming its own biomass.

However, this kind of Zerg is not something that humans can easily deal with now, because the individual combat power is low, and the biomass required will be much less, so the number of single Zerg units will be very large.

There is no interval between each wave of attack. As long as the human fleet is on the front line, there is no chance to retreat to the second line for rest unless it dies in battle.

To repel this swarm, either kill all the worms or sink the only Leviathan directly, and then take advantage of the swarms fighting each other for the new queen position to eliminate the remaining worms, otherwise the swarm will also have the ability to evolve itself over time.

The battle on the front line was particularly fierce. Every second, a warship was overwhelmed by the huge swarm, and the personnel on the ship were taken away by the swarm and taken back to the Leviathan to replenish the gradually lost biomass.

But fortunately, the top leaders of the Cloud Ring Federation seemed very determined and gave the front-line commander an order to defend to the death.

There was only one point on the long front line that was relatively easy to defend, and that was the position guarded by the Snow Peak.

Every attack by the Snow Peak's super-heavy main gun would give the fleet a few minutes of breathing time, so that the injured warships could retreat to the rear of the fleet for emergency repairs.

Qi Yiming did not perform remote repairs on the friendly ships around him, exposing the power of the super main gun. This was already a very dangerous thing. If the remote repair capability was exposed again, Qi Yiming believed that even without the Zerg attacking the Xuefeng, the top leaders of the Yunhuan Federation would find a way to get the Xuefeng. By then, Qi Yiming would have no place to cry.
