Chapter 117: Expansion of the Underground Base

The Zerg continued with their previous tactics, with Hydralisks as the center and Zerglings as the auxiliary, and launched a fierce attack on the ghouls in the cave.

Ten thousand Zerg Hydralisks, this is a very scary number. They attack the ghouls, just like modern armies use guns to attack the army of the cold weapon era. There is a generation gap in the attack method!

After replenishing energy and gathering strength, the Hydralisks rushed to the front of the Zerg army. Once the ghouls entered their attack range, they would be attacked intensively.

The Hydralisks opened the battle line, like a row of lawn mowers, harvesting a large number of ghouls like weeds.

The Zerg army advanced steadily, and the ghouls seemed to have no resistance.

When the Zerg army advanced to the middle of the giant cave, it suddenly stopped.

Facing the cunning ghouls, Wu Qing has been very cautious. There are many hosts floating above the Zerg army, constantly detecting the surrounding situation.

In the underground world, separated by mud and rocks, various detection methods are restricted, and it is easy to encounter sudden situations.

Just now, the one-star host following the front of the Zerg army detected a large number of holes on the top of the cave in front, and there were ghouls hiding inside.

"Are they going to airdrop ghouls to us?"

Wu Qing has a deep understanding of the endless tricks of ghouls.

The Zerg army is still a certain distance away from that area. If these ghouls really land on the top of the Zerg army, it will still have a certain impact on the attack of the Hydralisk.

Now that it has been discovered, the Hydralisk in front is not polite and directly launches a round of volleys at the top of the cave in front.

With the location information shared by the host, the Hydralisk's attack is very accurate, shooting down all the ghouls in the shooting range.

But there are still many ghouls hiding in various caves that the Hydralisk cannot attack. For these ghouls, the Zerg can't do anything about them for the time being.

Facing the threat of these ghouls above their heads, the Zerg is not afraid.

The Hydralisks continued to attack the ghouls on the ground. They also tacitly let the puppies behind them squeeze in. Each Hydralisks had two more puppies guarding them.

The Zerg army continued to advance, and the ghouls' activity space was constantly squeezed. They couldn't rush over for close combat. Ten thousand Hydralisks gathered together. In this cave, there were no ghouls that could threaten them.

Fifty thousand puppies continued to pour into the cave, filling the cave space occupied by the Zerg.

When the Zerg army came under the ghouls hidden on the top of the cave, some ghouls finally couldn't help but jump out.

Unfortunately, their every move was under the surveillance of the Zerg. When they moved, a corresponding number of Zerg Hydralisks raised their heads and shot death thorns at them!

Most of the ghouls that jumped down turned into light and disappeared before they landed. The ghouls that were lucky enough to fall and were not completely dead were jumped up by the puppies guarding the Hydralisks and killed with random knives.

All the ghouls turned into light and disappeared, without falling on the hydralisks, and could not cause any interference to the hydralisks.

The ghouls, who were at their wits' end, relied on their increasing number advantage to launch a desperate charge, trying to rush to the front of the Zerg army and cause damage to the Zerg army.

Unfortunately, they were all in vain! The firepower attack of 10,000 hydralisks was too dense!

In this relatively limited space, with the help of the system's ability to convert corpses into light and disappear, with the current strength of the ghouls, even if there were more of them, they could not rush over!

In this way, the Zerg army drove all the ghouls in the cave into the giant cave that was connected in all directions in another direction.

A large number of ghouls entered the passages, which would limit the combat power of the Zerg. Wu Qing did not rush to attack, but fully detected the cave space.

At this time, a large number of worker bees were already digging. They wanted to continue to widen and reinforce a giant passage to connect the Zerg underground base with the super cave space occupied by the Zerg army.

This time, the ghouls provided a huge amount of resources, which was an opportunity for the Zerg to develop vigorously. The ghouls had already touched the Zerg's base camp and had a certain understanding of the Zerg. In front of them, the Zerg had no need to be conservative.

Those weirdos watched the Zerg territory being built step by step, and there was no problem of confidentiality. Wu Qing was ready to rely on this opportunity to let the Zerg take a big step forward!

Zerg buildings must be built on the fungal blanket. Conversely, the Zerg fungal blanket is an extension of the Zerg buildings. Without the support of Zerg buildings, the Zerg fungal blanket will stop when it spreads to a certain range.

There is only one exception, that is the mother nest, which can be built in places without fungal blankets.

Wu Qing dispatched a team of worker bees to the cave space and built twenty mother nests at the location selected by the queen. After the queen's calculation, it only needs to continue to build some buildings in suitable locations around the twenty mother nests, and the Zerg fungal blanket can spread to the entire cave space.

Wu Qing planned to use this newly built cave base of the Zerg as a battlefield for fighting the ghouls at night. Except for the twenty mother nests, all other places were built with defensive buildings.

The construction cost of the Zerg's defensive buildings is relatively low. Even if it is upgraded to one star, it does not consume many resources.

But its defensive ability is very strong. Except for the disadvantage of being unable to move, its ability in all aspects far exceeds that of the Zerg's combat arms.

After the construction of the twenty mother nests was completed, Wu Qing did not choose to upgrade, but directly hatched worker bees and used the hatched worker bees to continue to build defensive buildings.

The Zerg's underground base is not far from the cave space in a straight line. The first passage we walked through was winding and twisting, so we felt that the distance was a bit far.

Now thousands of worker bees have opened up a straight road based on the strangely excavated passage, connecting the Zerg's underground base and the cave base.

This passage will be very huge. Wu Qing plans to continue to widen this passage and eventually connect the two bases into one piece to build a huge underground base.

Since this step cannot be achieved for the time being, Wu Qing ordered to build defensive buildings along the fungal carpet from the direction of the two bases to the other side, and strive to cover the fungal carpet in this passage today and include it in the territory of the Zerg to ensure the needs of the Zerg's troop deployment at night.

The appearance of this ghoul has brought danger and opportunity to the Zerg. Wu Qing wants to seize this opportunity.

But the struggle with the ghoul may be a long-term struggle. Even if the ghoul's nest can be successfully found nearby, who knows if there are more ghoul nests farther away?

The Zerg's territory now needs to be built around the possibility of a major battle at night. The war with the ghouls has made the Zerg's territory lose the peace it once had.
