Chapter 134: Hard-Earned Victory
Supported by the seemingly endless ghouls, the unknown enemy has been maintaining the highest intensity of the offensive on the battlefield of the connecting channel.
The underground ratmen almost surrounded the entire cave base with rats. They used a combination of rats, underground ratmen and long-range incendiary bombs to launch a more fierce offensive after the ghouls launched an attack.
In the first half of the night, these underground ratmen did not seem to use their full strength. Now, in order to cooperate with the attack of the ghouls, they began to burst out with all their strength.
The ground was paved with rats, and the underground ratmen used the flesh and blood of countless rats to reduce the damage of the Zerg ground spikes.
The small underground ratmen took advantage of their lightness and flexibility and stepped on the rats to charge.
The underground ratmen who threw incendiary bombs, mixed with rats and small underground ratmen, constantly looked for opportunities to throw incendiary bombs at the Zerg base.
There were constantly large baskets filled with incendiary bombs being blown up in the underground ratmen's attacking team. The fiercely burning green flames and the gathering poisonous smoke could not stop the underground ratmen's attack.
Under the fierce attack of the underground ratmen, the Zerg cave base had to fight back with all its strength, and the Hydralisk also began to spray biodegradable liquid to carry out large-scale surface killing attacks.
This attack mode of the Hydralisk can more effectively kill rats and small underground ratmen.
Some Zerg puppies lurking underground began to drill out of the ground and join the defense to make up for the omissions left by the long-range attack of the Zerg base.
In both battlefields, a large number of lives are disappearing every second!
But in such a world, it seems that no one takes precious life seriously!
None of the enemies encountered by the Zerg in this world are afraid of death, all of them are abnormal.
The normal intelligent creatures on the local camp side are also forced to face death. There are many things in this world that scare them more than death!
This world is very abnormal!
…
This horrible underground war has been going on, just like using countless lives as fuelwood. The blazing fire will not go out until it burns out the source of life of both sides.
Wu Qing and the unknown enemy were both holding on, and it was just a matter of who would give up first.
All the reserve Zerg puppies were sent to the battlefield, and the newly hatched puppies were directly added to the battlefield, so there was no need to assemble and wait.
If the battle continued like this, the Zerg's speed of mass production would not be able to keep up with the consumption of the front line.
After such a long period of high-intensity fighting, the eight thousand Hydralisks could no longer maintain normal output and could only fight while recovering.
Fortunately, they all stood on the Zerg's fungal blanket, so they recovered very quickly and could maintain a certain attack strength.
The weakening of the Hydralisk's attack strength led to increased pressure on the front-line Zerg puppies, and their loss rate continued to accelerate, greatly exceeding the Zerg's speed of mass production.
The Zerg's defense now relies on a large number of puppies and tireless defensive buildings. The defensive buildings are built on the Zerg fungal blanket and can almost keep fighting.
The Zerg puppies' replenishment speed is a bit slow.
After holding on for a while, just when Wu Qing decided to add some more nests, he suddenly found that the ghouls' offensive was slowly weakening.
"There is still a limit! Let's see how long you can hold on!"
In this silent game of air, Wu Qing was slightly better.
There was still a long time before dawn, and Wu Qing had already seen the hope of successfully saving the cave base.
The two sides of the relatively balanced war, because the offensive of the ghouls weakened, the Zerg puppies immediately launched a more fierce attack and pushed the front line outward a little.
A chain reaction, the consumption of the Zerg puppies decreased, and the speed of the Zerg's violent soldiers was enough to support such consumption.
The Zerg puppies continued to push the front line outward and successfully pushed the front line to the edge of the Zerg territory. They stayed at the edge of the territory and fought with the ghouls who continued to charge.
The number of ghouls was getting smaller and smaller, and the huge space on both sides of the connecting channel that was originally crowded with ghouls was emptied at a speed visible to the naked eye, and no new ghouls were added.
The gap in strength between the two sides became more and more obvious. Knowing that failure was a foregone conclusion, those ghouls still rushed up to die.
Later, the Zerg puppies withdrew from the front line to reduce unnecessary casualties.
Those ghouls who were sent to die were handed over to the Zerg's defensive buildings and hydralisks. The ghouls could no longer break through the Zerg's long-range attack defense line.
When the last ghoul fell under the ground spikes, the light disappeared, and the huge space connecting the two sides of the channel became empty, with nothing left.
If nothing unexpected happened, the battle on this side of the connecting channel was officially over.
Before dawn, Wu Qing did not dare to be careless and continued to let the Zerg strengthen their vigilance.
At this time, the Zerg fungus blanket was spreading to the space on both sides of the channel, so he dispatched worker bees to follow the spreading fungus blanket to build defensive buildings.
This can speed up the spread of the Zerg fungus blanket. Wherever the fungus blanket covers is the Zerg's territory.
In the cave base, the battle between the Zerg and the underground ratmen is still going on. Now that the Zerg has won the most critical battle, the situation here is no longer important, and the Zerg can send a large army to support at any time.
Therefore, the Zerg's defensive operations have become much more relaxed.
The underground ratmen's offensive is also gradually weakening, but they are still maintaining an offensive state to prevent the Zerg in the cave base from stopping, and they continue to send a large number of rats and some underground ratmen to attack the Zerg's defense line.
The underground ratmen's attack is to send resources to the Zerg, and the Zerg will certainly not be polite.
The two sides fought until the moment before dawn, when the underground rats stopped attacking and withdrew from the huge passage.
The countless rats also ran away, and not a single one was left.
The unknown enemy did not make any other noise after the ghouls' attack failed, and those weird things did not appear again.
As soon as the sky brightened, everything returned to calm.
…
In this battle, it can be said that the Zerg has exerted its combat power to the limit. The mysterious enemy is very powerful, and it is getting stronger every night.
If it continues like this, Wu Qing cannot guarantee that the Zerg's development speed can keep up with the enemy's growth rate.
In such a war, in addition to the consumption of combat, the Zerg can also save a lot of resources, which is enough to support the Zerg to achieve leapfrog development.
The Zerg needs such a war, but it must try to control the risks.
The mysterious enemy seems to be a cheater, and I don't know what else it will come up with.
There is only one day, and the Zerg needs to convert all resources into combat power as soon as possible.
It was already daybreak, and the Zerg still had one thing to do, which was to send troops to hunt down the underground ratmen who had just escaped!
Based on yesterday's experience, those underground ratmen were likely to have been isolated by the barrier of the underground world, unable to return to the underground world, and were waiting for the Zerg to harvest their resources!
