Chapter 311 The Last Moment
Qi Yiming's search for key components made little progress, but the Zerg's attack on the human fleet achieved considerable results.
Although Wang Shuhua followed Qiao Shan's advice and shrunk the defense line to the limit, the human fleet had a small numerical advantage over the Zerg in the local battlefield.
But the small numerical advantage was eliminated by the flexible movement of the individual Zerg and the powerful self-healing ability of Leviathan.
The final result was that the human defense line was attacked everywhere and asked for help from the fleet command center everywhere.
The fleet's defense line seemed precarious from the beginning.
It was not that the combat effectiveness of the human warships declined, but that there was a lack of effective support from the Red Dragon.
In the previous battles, each captain had a very clear goal under the dispatch of the Wise, so the combat purpose was very clear.
But now without the battlefield dispatch of the Wise, many captains were at a loss with only the range orders issued by the headquarters.
If Qi Yiming was here at this time, he would regret relying too much on the ability of the Wise in the previous battles and ignoring the growth of the personal abilities of the captains in the fleet.
Fortunately, the commander of the Zerg seemed to be a novice. In addition to the brilliant feint to the east and attack to the west at the beginning of the attack, he was also full of loopholes when dealing with sudden situations on the battlefield.
Wang Shuhua seized the opportunity to launch several beautiful counterattacks, sinking more than 700 Leviathan warships.
However, the growth of the commander of the Zerg was also amazing. After the chaos of the initial battlefield, the small-scale adjustments of the Zerg gradually became organized, which made Wang Shuhua feel that he could not deal with it.
It can be said that the Zerg has brought its individual high mobility to the extreme, frequently mobilizing the human defense fleet to pull back and forth on the defense line. As long as Wang Shuhua does not respond properly and is pulled out of the gap by the Zerg, a large number of Zerg will take advantage of the gap to drill into the defense circle.
At this point, humans have no choice but to fight to the death.
A large number of captains commanded their warships to block them, and then shouted "Federation Glory, Illuminate the Stars." Detonated the power furnace of the warship.
He Zhenzhu looked at the warships that sacrificed themselves with tears, and he seemed to see the scene of her previous life when she followed the former federal fleet to fight against the Zerg.
The situation at that time was exactly the same as now. Countless captains chose to die with the Zerg in desperation.
After the human fleet desperately blocked another wave of Zerg attacks, the battlefield fell into a brief silence.
At this time, Wang Shuhua looked at the few remaining fleets. In just half a day, the number of human warships dropped from more than three million at the beginning to less than one million now, and most of the warships were still fighting with injuries.
Everyone knew that when the Zerg attacked again, it would be the time for the human fleet to be destroyed.
The fleet communication channel suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, and even the occasional sound of electricity disappeared.
Everyone was silently waiting for the generals at the final moment.
But the strange thing was that the Zerg took a lot longer to prepare for the attack this time. Wang Shuhua slightly moved the battlefield monitor closer. He really wanted to know what the Zerg was doing at this time?
What made Wang Shuhua desperate was that the Leviathan of the Zerg seemed to have evolved again.
In the previous attack, the attack strength of the main gun evolved from the bow of the Leviathan was not satisfactory, which was a major reason why the Zerg had not been able to successfully break through the defense line of the human fleet despite its superior numbers.
Don’t look at the black main gun on the bow of the Leviathan. The particle flow it fired was not much stronger than the experimental fleet that Qi Yiming and his team encountered.
But what did Wang Shuhua see now?
At this time, a part of the Leviathan in the Zerg was wrapped in a huge, slightly transparent biomass shell. Through the shell, you can see that the Leviathan inside is rapidly decomposing itself, and a large amount of biomass is dissolved in the biological solution that wraps it.
The whole process was both rapid and extremely cruel. Wang Shuhua even felt that he could hear the miserable howling of the Leviathan when it was decomposed.
After the wrapped Leviathan warship was completely dissolved, the transparent shell suddenly began to wriggle rhythmically.
Many biomass hoses extended from its inner wall, and the hoses were quickly connected to a thread-like larvae that was no longer than half a meter floating in the biological solution.
Then a large amount of biomass and some purple liquid were injected into the larvae through the hoses.
The larva seemed to have received some order, curling up its body in the solution, and then spitting out a large amount of white substance from its mouth, which quickly wrapped itself up and formed a new insect egg.
The insect egg grew at a visible speed with the supply of a large amount of biomass, and as the volume grew, the white substance that wrapped it became transparent.
The larva that had just been wrapped up had now turned into a juvenile Leviathan warship.
Originally, it would take at least half a year for a juvenile Leviathan warship to grow to a mature body with sufficient energy supply, but this time the swarm seemed to have used some kind of catalyst, and the Leviathan grew very fast.
In just half an hour, the juvenile Leviathan warship turned into a mature body.
The Leviathan warship that was about to break out of the cocoon this time had a greater change.
The biomass armor that originally wrapped it turned into a black metal armor this time, and a main gun also appeared on the bow, but the muzzle was much longer than other Leviathan warships that had not yet evolved, and the gun barrel was also thicker than theirs.
Seeing the swarm of insects actually starting a large-scale evolution on the battlefield, Wang Shuhua wanted to pounce on them and tear them apart, but the human fleet was already standing on the edge of the cliff, just waiting to be pushed.
Soon, the first Leviathan warship that had completed its evolution broke out of its cocoon.
A large amount of unused biomass and liquid, as well as the shell that wrapped it, were captured by Leviathan's tentacles and pulled back into its body.
With the first one, the second Leviathan broke out of its cocoon. Half an hour later, all the wrapped Leviathans had completed their evolution.
The battlefield became noisy again after being silent for an hour.
Wang Shuhua knew that the swarm of insects was ready to attack.
And the fate of mankind seemed to have reached its end.
Wang Shuhua, He Zhenzhu, Ye Lu, Qiao Shan and others all looked at the place where the war star disappeared unconsciously. The miracle they hoped for in their hearts never happened from beginning to end.
Wang Shuhua closed his eyes in despair, then opened them again, and then pressed the fleet communication button and said only two words: "Fight to the death..."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the captains who were still alive answered in unison in the fleet communication channel: "Fight to the death..."
Fang Min and Wang Sen were standing in the energy control room of the Hope at this time. They were also ready. As long as the last battleship of mankind was sunk, they would activate the energy bombs that had been placed long ago. They would rather let their bodies turn into dust in the flames of the explosion than become nutrients for the insect swarm.
