Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 169 Attack Plan
This is undoubtedly an opportunity. For so long, Zero has been unable to find out the specific information of the other party. He clearly knows what the most convenient way is, but it is hindered by the other party's caution and superior technology compared to the Zerg. Had to choose to wait and see.

It is true that through all-round observation, Zero can also obtain a lot of information, but whether it is efficiency or the accuracy of information, it is not the same as obtaining directly from the other party.

Now, finally, when the opponent's individual is alone and the defense is extremely weakened, it can be said to be a unique good opportunity, and of course Zero doesn't want to let it go.

He observed that the other party was actually not defenseless, those machines should all carry weapon units, even if the other party had confirmed the safety of the surrounding environment before that, obviously they would not just throw the extremely precious Human resources are housed here.

In addition, the speed of that powerful aircraft is extremely fast, and it can rush from the outpost to the mine in a short period of time to provide protection for the individuals here.

Obviously, although this is indeed an opportunity, it is not so easy to grasp.

The other party has made this choice, and will inevitably make corresponding arrangements. Even if they have basically searched the surrounding environment, they still will not let down their vigilance easily.

On a completely unfamiliar planet, one cannot be too cautious, who knows what kind of things will be encountered and what kind of crisis will be encountered.

If it wasn't for time constraints, they wouldn't even send individuals to do such a high-risk job in such a hurry. On an alien planet where there is no absolute guarantee, it is indeed a high-risk activity to break away from the ethnic group and act alone.

This step is often not carried out until the details are basically ascertained and safety can be guaranteed to a considerable extent.

It's a pity that the situation is out of control.They don't have the time or resources to do this step by step, so they can only take certain risks to complete this task.

As the only surviving individuals of the old civilization, they shouldered a great mission, and countless companions were sentenced to death when they left their home planet.

It is their lifelong mission to fully promote the colonization work and ensure that the fire of civilization is ignited in the universe again, and they must complete it at all costs.

Deep underground, the hatchery quietly produced a batch of units that hadn't been used for a long time - Zerg explorers.

This is really an antique from a hundred years ago. Since the lizard people were basically wiped out, they have rarely been used, gradually disappeared, and are no longer hatched on a large scale.

But now that they are available again, they are completely different from before!
The first is the smaller size and faster and more agile movements, allowing them to have a flexible speed while ensuring sufficient concealment.

The second is various "weapons" that can be replaced at any time in the body, including biological germs and spontaneous combustion flames.Over the years, Sass has become familiar with such small changes.

Of course, this batch of hatched explorers does not contain any "weapons", they are just explorers who are harmless to humans and animals.

There are some similar changes, but they are not the main point.There is no doubt that Sass is able to make such progress.

The in-depth research at the genetic level has gradually enabled SARS to have a certain degree of gene editing capabilities. With years of experiments and summaries regardless of cost, many things are now familiar to SARS. , the same can be done.

Faced with this "temptation" of the octopus, it is of course impossible for Zero to remain indifferent.Although he is still afraid of the opponent's "strong ship and sharp gun", compared to before, the current situation already has room for manipulation.

The explorer, the bug species that has been tasked with searching for information for the pioneers of the king since its birth, and whose core advantage is tiny concealment, has been entrusted with an important task once again.

They will be responsible for quietly going out from the Zerg base, playing the role of bugs in the natural world and approaching the Octopus, looking for opportunities for Zero's follow-up plan.

It is foreseeable that this kind of mining operation of the octopus people will not be able to end in a short period of time, so Zero is not too anxious.

If you find strange species gathering towards you just after the other party has made a placement, it will appear quite suspicious.

If compared to being cautious, Zero still has some experience in asking himself, and at the same time, he also has enough patience.

If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it's the right way to figure it out slowly.

………………

A few Zerg explorers quietly mixed into the various small flying insects around them, and headed towards the mine.

This place has already undergone preliminary mining by the lizard people. Although their skills are not that advanced, it is not difficult to develop this kind of semi-open-air mineral resources.

The surface resources have basically been exhausted by the original lizard people, and today's octopus people can only choose to go deep into the mine and dig on the basis of the original.

Fortunately, they have advanced machinery, so this problem is not a problem at all.

Today, there are two living octopus people in this mine. They are the staff who have been rotated recently to maintain the normal development of mining activities.

For a civilization with only two hundred surviving individuals, it is really difficult to free up more people.

However, there is good news. With the recent mining of various mineral resources, the construction of the next batch of localized outposts is about to begin. At that time, the first batch of children will also be born, and the first batch of large-scale mining equipment will also be at that time. Construction.

At that time, they will no longer have to move resources little by little. If it goes well, although there will be insufficient manpower, as long as the resources are sufficient, the development of the outpost will soon enter the fast lane.

Of course, the population limit will not disappear in a short time, but if they have sufficient resources, then everything will be much simpler, and they will be able to free up their hands and feet to do more things.

At least the first batch of toddlers will not be strictly limited in number due to lack of space.

Obviously there are a large number of seeds, if there is no external restriction and the resources are sufficient, this number will be expanded several times or even ten times, until the existing individuals cannot take care of more.

Because everyone knows that they are just the sunset at dusk, and these children are the future of civilization.

It's a pity that in order to supply the spaceship with energy, they had to give up most of the "seeds". Otherwise, if conditions permit, it only takes a few generations for civilization to grow rapidly here again!
As for today, due to the limitation of the number of individuals, this time will be extended to dozens of generations later.

Even so, they are relatively optimistic about the status quo.Although there are still many unknowns on this planet that have not been explored, but in the past few months, although there have been occasional accidents, overall it is still calm.

The geological activity here is much weaker than that of the parent star that is affected by giant planets. It is not a problem at all for the outpost built according to the specifications of the parent star to withstand some general earthquakes and tsunamis.

The adaptability to the alien environment is indeed a problem, but this is already under research. Those organisms and substances that have not been able to find antibodies will soon no longer be their hindrances, at best they can only be regarded as temporary troubles That's all.

Zero didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he could infer a general idea from their recent behavior patterns.

Over the past few days, watching the other party's actions, he felt more and more that his guess was correct, but he had never been able to take action to verify it.

It wasn't that he was struggling with something, the reason was simple, the opponent's protection was tighter than he imagined, after several times of detection, Zero was not sure that the Zerg would rush into the mine before the opponent's aircraft arrived, and take down the mine. Two octopus people.

Although that kind of mining equipment is not big, the other party obviously cares about the safety of personnel, and has done a good job in this regard.

It can be said that as long as the two octopus people don't come out of the protection by themselves, Zero has no ability to hurt them in a short time.

This doesn't mean that Zero has nothing to do with them, it's just that opportunities are more difficult to grasp.

The other party has arranged personnel here, which is naturally used to maintain the normal operation of the machinery, so they cannot stay in a safe environment all the time, and always need to take risks.

Opportunities exist, but for Zero, this opportunity is not easy to grasp.

In his observations, the other party's emphasis on the safety of personnel is almost outrageous. Although he doesn't know what information the other party has been communicating through electromagnetic waves, but for so long, Zero has never been in several mines at the same time. It was found that there were more than two Octopus people performing maintenance activities.

And whenever maintenance is required, Zero notices that the other party's aircraft, which acts as a temporary transport plane, will stop working and cruise above the corresponding mine.

Obviously, this is a kind of escort operation, which directly blocked the possibility of the flying dragon's forced surprise attack, which is also the biggest reason why Zero was not sure that he could achieve his goal in such a short period of time.

Opportunities are very precious. If you miss it, it will definitely be much more difficult next time. He doesn't want to waste it in vain, so he hasn't done anything yet. He just sent a small number of explorers to mix with common flying insects, and quietly infiltrate them. Watch from a distance and look for opportunities.

Of course, Zero does much more than that.

During this period of time, the diggers of the Zerg had quietly advanced the passage to the direction of the Octopus for a considerable distance, because they were still not close to the opponent because they were afraid of the opponent's possible ground detection ability, but regarding the distance The temptations are still going on, and sporadic diggers are approaching the underground area where the other party is located in various ways. As long as the other party does not show any abnormalities, this process will continue.

Once a surprise attack is launched at that time, this will be the starting point of the swarm attack, and the reason for the distance is crucial to the success rate of the operation.

In addition, the professional memory-storing worm species that Sass transformed through his own genetic coincidence in that state of blessedness at the beginning, after so many years of persistent research by Sass, finally no longer just A semi-finished product, now it has a complete memory storage capacity.

And this time, they were also hatched, taking on the first contact and communication between the worms and intelligent life.There is no doubt that in the situation of the opponent's tight defense, the role they play is also crucial.

It is impossible for Zero to let Sass come here in person, not to mention the time is too long, under the monitoring of the Octopus satellites and aircraft, Sass' "guard" cannot guarantee its safety.

Moreover, Sass' ability to move is also a flaw, and it is extremely inconvenient to operate.

This time, Zero had no intention of taking away the opponent's body. Although Sass was also more interested in the body structure of the octopus, it was clear that the knowledge and memories in their minds were more important.

Zero's primary goal is still to obtain the opponent's information. As for the research on alien creatures, as long as the plan is successful, there is not only one octopus, and there will be many opportunities in the future.

………………

With the passage of time, while continuously obtaining the opponent's intelligence through conventional means, Zero also realized that he could no longer let the opponent develop.

Because he discovered that the other party had already begun to expand his outpost. Although this step was completed at this time, it was indeed a further verification of Zero's guess, but it also meant that the other party was gradually gaining a foothold here.

Therefore, no matter what, Zero must find out the actual information of the other party as soon as possible, so as to find a way to deal with the other party's aggression in a substantial sense.

In this case, a plan began to form in Zero's mind, and it was gradually perfected.

Although there are some risks, but Zero thinks it is worth it.

Some strengthened land units began to slowly approach each other from the depths of the ground with the cooperation of the diggers, while above the surface, more and more mutated Zerg explorers began to infiltrate the mine.

The Zerg's activities on the surface inevitably attracted the attention of the Octopus, and they kept paying attention to the external environment without letting go of any unfortunate creatures.

Some of the Zerg explorers who infiltrated into it were taken away for research, but Zero was prepared. The body structure of these explorers is basically the same as that of common mosquitoes, and there is no threat to the octopus wearing "protective clothing".

Even if the other party notices some differences, at most they will think that this is a variant of mosquitoes, and they will not be too defensive.

And Zero also spent a lot of thought in order to muddle through.He made the Zerg explorers who entered the mine pretend to be insects attracted by heat sources, and they frantically hit the ants at the roaring mining machines, even if they were scalded to death, they didn't feel sorry for them, just like moths rushing to the flame .

After research, the octopus people confirmed the safety of these "mosquitoes". Apart from carrying some germs, there is no other danger. As long as they do not break through the protection, they will not pose a threat to production activities and personnel safety.

As a result, the Zerg explorer was personally issued a pass order by the other party, and there is no obstacle to entering it.

Of course, in order to make the performance more realistic, Zero still released the Zerg explorers at the original frequency, and still let them approach the heat source crazily, and then were killed in groups.

This waste of resources is not worth mentioning to Zero, but the effect achieved is extraordinary!

Because the octopus people don't know whether these seemingly harmless "mosquitoes" that fly past their eyes are moths that pounce on flames, or... blasters that can cause fires!
Sass has long been familiar with the targeted transformation of the internal structure of the Zerg's body. Transforming the explorer into a fireball that can explode at any time is not difficult at all for it now.

It's just that Zero didn't send them out before the time was right.

His plan is also very simple. In order not to attract too much attention from the other party afterwards, Zero does not want to put the Zerg on the table, so a proper disguise is necessary.

After all, he doesn't know the details of the opponent. If he succeeds and finds that the opponent is indeed invincible, and the Zerg is exposed to the opponent's vision, he will be too passive.

Although it would be very difficult to really achieve this with the other party's technology, it is still impossible to give up the disguise for this reason.

Therefore, Zero's plan is to use the Zerg explorers mixed in to cause the opponent's machine to catch fire, pretending to be a fire caused by an equipment failure caused by too many mosquitoes, and attract the octopus to come to troubleshoot.

Then take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack from the ground, take down the target in the shortest possible time, and then completely detonate the scene. In this case, the opponent's follow-up investigation may be impossible.

This plan is not rigorous in serious terms, at least the traces of the Zerg's dispatch will definitely attract the attention of the other party afterwards, and Zero can only use these methods to camouflage a little, try to cover up the traces of the Zerg's underground base, if it really fails, then He also recognized it.

The other party's real-time communication may also reveal the existence of the Zerg, but Zero is not worried that the other party will be able to see their details at a glance when the Zerg first shows up, so the information sent back should not be any important information.

Maybe it will mislead the other party.

Under the premise that the explorers have been able to mix in, the only difficulty in the plan is to achieve the goal before the support of the other party arrives. This is uncontrollable, and it is also the biggest variable for the success of the plan.

In this regard, Zero can only say that he is doing his best, and he still has some confidence, but he is still a little uncertain about the opponent's methods.

Things have come to this point, even if Zero wants to keep going, and get the other party's information bit by bit, he can't do it.As the opponent develops and grows little by little, it is very likely that his connivance will eventually lead to an unstoppable trend. If the enemy that could have been resisted becomes stronger, it is tantamount to lifting a rock to smash himself in the foot.

So no matter what, Zero has to take this step, even if it takes a certain risk, it must be done.

No matter how indifferent his attitude is, he is unwilling to accept the failure caused by his connivance.

What's more, all the current situations show that the other party's situation is not as strong as it seems on the surface. If you don't verify it for a long time, you may miss an excellent opportunity!

If the facts are really as I guessed, then the room for zero maneuvering will be much larger!

Now, what he needs to do is to control the initiative in his own hands, and the prerequisite for doing this is to have detailed information about the other party.

A plan is imperative.

Zerg explorers are still active in the mine at a fixed number and frequency. A large number of explorers die every day. If their corpses accumulate, there will be more than [-]!

This is already a rather exaggerated number, but it did not have any impact on these working instruments at all, which made the octopus who didn't care much about these little bugs gradually feel completely relieved.

Zero is also watching here, the Zerg diggers under the ground, digging forward a little tentatively, getting closer as much as possible without being noticed.

Eventually, they ceased activity on the periphery about 200 meters from the target.According to Zero's judgment, the opponent should not have found them underground, but if you move forward, the risks and benefits will no longer be equal. At this distance, as long as the swarm climbs out of the ground, a charge will arrive, and it won't cost too much time.

The arrangement in the plan is ready, that is to say, it is time to actually implement it.
