Chapter 141: Great! Great!

The appearance of the elite troops of the Zerg swarm indicated that the queen was already exhausted.

While the Zerg had not yet entangled with the ground troops, the Xuefeng once again carried out a round of orbital bombing at the most densely populated area of ​​the Zerg.

In particular, the elite troops were given special attention.

Facing the elite troops of the Zerg, the weapons of the ground troops may not be lethal enough, and multiple rounds of firepower output are needed to kill the elite individuals of the Zerg.

Facing the low-orbit bombardment from the sky, the ground troops of the Zerg were not enough.

Strangely, Qi Yiming only found a very small number of elite individuals in the Zerg, which confused Qi Yiming.

There were too few elite individuals of the Zerg on the battlefield, far from the upper limit of the elite individuals that a queen could hatch.

But for the current battle, Chen Cheng had a bit of difficulty in dealing with it.

Even if the Xuefeng could provide support for the ground troops in low orbit, the number of Zerg was too large, and the support provided by the Xuefeng could only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

It's not that the Xuefeng's attack power is too weak, but it can't fire at full force due to the casualties of the ground troops, and can only provide a certain amount of support.

At most, it can help Chen Cheng to eliminate some elite individuals in the swarm in advance.

The front-line combatants of the ground troops don't need to aim at all, they just need to close their eyes and pull the trigger to directly pour out all the ammunition in the ammunition box at once. It can't be said that every bullet hits the target, but it is definitely possible to hit more than 90% of the insects.

From time to time, large airdrop warehouses fall to the ground in the air.

It is the ammunition and energy supply sent by the Xuefeng to the ground troops.

When facing these low-level insect swarms, unless they are in a hurry to fight and the troops are not well prepared for firepower blocking, there will be a large number of casualties. Otherwise, heavy troops like the Falcon Special Forces will rarely suffer casualties.

But the ammunition and energy supply they need every minute is also an astronomical figure.

Fortunately, Qi Yiming has always had the habit of hoarding energy and ammunition. Long before leaving Gaia, Qi Yiming filled all the warehouses on the Xuefeng with ammunition and energy blocks.

This barely supported the small-scale ground battle.

Chen Cheng's ground forces advanced very slowly, which made Qi Yiming very anxious.

He had a hunch that the queen was in place and he had to buy time.

At this time, the other troops that had been deployed in advance to search for the queen had just gathered less than half of them, and transportation also took time. It was impossible to re-assign them to Chen Cheng's heavy troops in a short time to increase their firepower density.

When the two sides were deadlocked, the heavy troops commanded by Chen Cheng suddenly suffered huge casualties inexplicably.

A siege tank suddenly exploded from the inside, and two heavy armored vehicles were pierced by spikes that suddenly appeared from the ground, and the drivers inside were killed on the spot.

And more soldiers of the internal security forces wearing individual exoskeleton armor were pierced by the flesh spikes that suddenly emerged from their feet.

The sudden secret attack instantly caused widespread panic among the ground troops.

All the participants stared at the position where they stood nervously, fearing that the flesh spikes just now would suddenly emerge from the soil under their feet and take their lives.

Qi Yiming, who was monitoring the battlefield in real time, reminded Chen Cheng immediately: "The lurkers are the lurkers of the bugs... They will hide their bodies underground. Use the life detection equipment I equipped you with. That thing can find the lurkers hiding underground."

With Qi Yiming's reminder, Chen Cheng turned on the life detector on the siege tank he was riding.

Sure enough, more than a dozen lurkers were found 5 meters underground, and right under their feet.

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers from the internal security forces carried a disc-shaped device in groups of two and followed Chen Cheng's instructions to the ground where the lurkers were located.

Then the disc-shaped device was placed on the ground, and the two team members quickly evacuated.

The next second, the side of the disc-shaped device facing the ground emitted a high-frequency energy wave, and the high-frequency vibration made the surrounding air show circles of ripples.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and the disc was directly blown into the ground by high-energy directional explosives, opening a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter in the ground.

In just one second, the depth of the big hole exceeded 8 meters.

At the same time, a huge hole was punched into the body of the underground lurker.

Then, members of the internal security force threw more than a dozen high-explosive grenades into the hole, and a lurker hiding 5 meters underground was successfully eliminated.

Following the same method, the remaining lurkers were also killed in the same way by members of the internal security force.

But before Chen Cheng and others could celebrate, the ground shook violently again.

A tunnel worm tore through the ground and drilled out in the swarm of insects. When it broke through the ground, its huge kinetic energy threw its body high into the sky, and then it hit the ground heavily.

It even killed many of its own kind, and then the whole body quickly shrank back, supporting an exit with a diameter of more than 500 meters at the hole it punched.

Just as everyone was shocked by the swarm's varied attacks, another tunnel worm tore through the ground and appeared on the ground.

But strangely, no swarm came out of the huge exit supported by the tunnel worms.

What was even more bizarre was that a large number of swarms were quickly moving away from the exits supported by the two tunnel worms.

Chen Cheng felt very bad, and always felt that what was about to happen might be something he would never forget in his life.

Qi Yiming's feeling was not much better. From the beginning of the battle to now, the troops sent by the queen worm were of low quality. Although some elite swarms appeared on the ground, their number was far less than the number of elite swarms that could be hatched by normal queen worms.

Now that he saw the tunnel worms again... the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Qi Yiming was trying to recall what other terrible troops the swarm had that required huge amounts of biomass, so much so that the queen worm had to sacrifice the number of its elite swarms to hatch.

Qi Yiming's pupils suddenly shrank, and he remembered the demon called the thunder beast by the former federal marines.

Just as he was about to remind Chen Cheng on the surface, two thunder beasts struggled to drill out from the exit supported by the tunnel worms.

The thunder beasts, which were 500 meters tall and about 800 meters long, appeared in front of the ground troops.

After drilling out of the underground passage made by the tunnel worms, the two thunder beasts roared at the same time.

The huge sound instantly made all the ground troops lose their hearing, their ears were buzzing, and some team members even had blood flowing from their ear holes.

The two front hooves raised high slammed into the ground, immediately causing a strong vibration on the ground.

It even caused two tanks in siege mode to fall over, and all the soldiers, including the heavy armor, lay on the battlefield in all directions.

After the brutal appearance ceremony, the two thunder beasts waved the pair of giant sickles under the crocodiles, which were 100 meters long, and rushed towards the heavy armored troops not far from them.
