Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 355 The third one!

This is almost a clear message to Zero and the many brainworms that the next round of invasion is likely to happen soon!

"But why?!" Zero didn't get upset because of the bad news one after another. He was just very confused.

Why come sooner rather than later, just when the Zerg have initially completed the development of the new universe and the spiritual energy has been initially applied?

Why didn't the Zerg invade when they were weak? If so, who resisted the other side's invasion? Are there similar invasions in other corners of the universe?

If not, then why does it have to be Zerg? Or should I say, it has to be myself? !

What happened to this universe? What happened that I didn't know that caused so many enemies to "come to my door" one after another, but the only ones who could deal with it were the Zerg?

From a completely scientific perspective, the universe has been formed for at least 20 billion years. Why was it invaded at this point in time? Where did they come from, and how did they locate the Zerg?

Is this "dimensional drift" phenomenon natural or man-made? If it is natural, why does it always appear in the territory of the Zerg? If it is man-made, wouldn't it be more advantageous to open channels for development in areas beyond the control of the Zerg, and continue to invade after it grows stronger?

There were so many mysteries, and Zero had never felt so alien to this universe. From the initial absolute belief in materialism, until now, He has been strongly shaken!

Maybe science can still explain all this, but at least at this stage, He is willing to believe all the originally unreliable conjectures and conclusions, just because the reality is absurd enough!

.......................................

Now it seems that when the other party first appeared in the real universe, the relatively long period of indifference may not be due to the strength of the insect swarm surrounding them. Either, they are waiting for backup, or they are adapting to this universe. rule!

Judging from the current situation, this "dimensional drift" phenomenon is an uncontrollable natural movement and is relatively reliable. However, there is no doubt that it has been used by the enemy to launch an invasion of the universe where the Zerg are located. In fact, it has become a tool that can be exploited!

If you want to control the situation, siege alone is not enough. This is just a temporary solution, not the root cause. The root of reversing the situation lies in this natural phenomenon, in that area, no matter how magical it is, No matter how complicated it is, the insect swarm must conquer it, so that it can defeat the enemy with the advantage of local combat, and even complete the reverse invasion!

As for the other invasion phenomenon that has appeared now, and even more invasion phenomena will appear in the future, what the current Zerg can do is to use all means to organize them to complete the breakthrough and truly enter the real universe!

Regardless of whether the other "bubble" contains a biological fleet that is fighting a fierce battle with the Zerg or something else, it will face the most cautious defense of the Zerg!

In the new universe, batch after batch of newly hatched psionic Zerg units are marching towards the main universe. Due to the special characteristics of psionic creatures, their size is not even small compared to the large Zerg units. At this stage, the Zerg do not have the luxury of concentrating a huge amount of spiritual energy on a single insect to observe the extent it can eventually achieve. Facing the invasion of the main universe, they need to complete the spiritual transformation as soon as possible to defend against what may happen in the future. More "Invasion Groups"!

To put it bluntly, in today's battlefield of tens of millions of kilometers, the main force of Zerg attack and defense is no longer large units. When faced with enemy attacks, they often can only use their lives as consumables to hinder the opponent's attacks. attack.

Only psionic units can achieve perfect defense after gathering and complete the killing at the maximum ratio!

If their numbers were not relatively scarce, the insect swarm could even suppress these invaders back into the spherical area, instead of being able to contain them and gain precious attack opportunities at the expense of the lives of a large number of ordinary units. , thus barely managing to delay the opponent's progress.

Unfortunately, the psychic units that have been transformed into the new universe now have to go to the newly emerged "dimensional bubble" to cooperate with large-scale regular Zerg units to carry out security missions. They may need to go into battle at any time, and more support cannot be provided for the time being. .

And more swarms of insects are still outside the scope of the zerg rule, and in the endless darkness of the explored universe, searching for more traces of this phenomenon, Zero must confirm that this kind of invasion is common in the entire universe. This phenomenon is still only for the Zerg!

There is a world of difference between the two. If it is the former, it represents an invasion of this universe. The enemy may not even know the existence of the Zerg in advance, but must complete the goal of invading the main universe, so You will inevitably encounter the Zerg.

The latter represents what they want from the Zerg!

There is no such thing as a purposeless war. Even when a race like the Zerg launches a war, it usually has an obvious goal. It is something that is completely without benefit. Few intelligent races are willing to do it.

What the facts are, we can only come to a conclusion after the Zerg figure out the mechanism of how this happened. If this kind of invasion is also found in distant areas where the Zerg have never set foot, or even if it is recorded in ancient history, it can be considered that some existence has launched an invasion against the entire universe.

On the contrary, it is aimed at the Zerg.

In Zero's heart, he has basically confirmed the possibility of the latter, that is, there is some kind of existence that has observed the existence of the bugs in some way, and found some value in these bugs, and would not hesitate to launch such a large-scale war. Get it too!

Ask yourself, what kind of interests would the Zerg encounter before launching a war across the universe? At least the so-called concepts of territory, dominance, and power are completely impossible to impress Zero.

Either to eliminate threats, or to become more powerful, just like the purpose of the Zerg invasion of the new universe today, for only one thing, spiritual energy!

Is this why they are here? Or do you simply want to eliminate the Zerg threat?

Zero didn't know that he was just paying close attention to all the Zerg's research in this direction, day after day!

Visser commanded the swarm to engage in a seemingly endless war with the opponent within the defensive circle. Within such a relatively narrow range, the absolute numerical advantage of the zerg was difficult to fully unfold. Of course, the opponent was also facing this situation. Once opened, When arranging troops on the battlefield, you will face huge risks.

Visser is very cautious. It knows what kind of mission it is carrying now, and it also knows what kind of enemies the Zerg may face. This time is different from the past, and the opponent is unprecedentedly powerful!

Visser is trying his best to collect the opponent's biological tissue. On the battlefield, the two swords have not engaged in any close combat so far. The war method in the main universe is completely different from that in the new universe. This also gives Visser The target caused huge trouble.

It's not that it hasn't tried to rush in with all its strength to bring back even a little bit of the opponent's biological materials at all costs, but in the end it always ended in failure.

Firstly, the opponent does have offensive and defensive methods beyond the imagination of the Zerg, making it difficult for Visser's "commando" to really get close. Secondly, it is also because, like the Zerg, they are using their weapons on the battlefield during the war. The corpses of companions are part of the source of materials!

Visser tried to launch a close combat, taking advantage of the larger number of Zerg and the endless supply of supplies at any time, and wanted to fight with the opponent, but there was no chance of success! The "collective shield" they use to defend against attacks by Zerg kinetic weapons and various energy weapons can even completely isolate the Zerg swarm on a relatively small battlefield, which is like an Iron Curtain that does not really exist. , at that distance, the opponent's attack can make the insect swarm unable to take a step beyond the thunder pool!

Within this range, neither side can do anything to the other. For Visser, continuing to compress the opponent's living space will not completely expel the opponent, but will be even more detrimental to the Zerg, because even if it can break through the enemy's "Iron Curtain" ", relying on the unknown natural defense, the opponent will never fail.

During this period of time, Visser has been thinking about how to complete the breakthrough to obtain useful materials and information. Almost all research has been difficult to continue due to the lack of data and information. Various research units have expressed their needs for this aspect, and Visser himself has also I strongly agree with this view and have been trying to achieve the goal by changing tactics.

At the rear, based on the actual battlefield conditions, the Hive Mothership is also constantly improving the focus of various insect species. For example, kinetic energy weapons that cannot perform any feats and small and medium-power energy weapons have been completely abandoned and replaced by more energy-consuming ones. Larger, more powerful "space cannon"!

Actual combat has proven that space weapons still pose a relatively obvious threat to the opponent. In addition to psychic attacks, large-scale space attacks can play a very good role.

Visser's plan also revolves around this point. In addition, the application of psychic powers is also deepening. Visser is even trying to "catch" the opponent out of thin air like Sass.

But there is no doubt that many attempts have ended in failure. Either its own spiritual power is not strong enough, or it will be interrupted before completion. It cannot take huge risks every time to go to the front line and approach such a large number of people all the way. The enemy, Cerebrates, especially those that have mastered psychic powers, are units that the Zerg absolutely cherish.

Visser thought hard, but still had no clue. In the end, it chose the oldest way of the Zerg to deal with difficulties.

Four "young" brainworms that have completed psychic transformation were drawn from the new universe to cooperate with it in executing the action plan.

These brainworms are all units that have strong psychic power like it and can relatively easily cause large-scale deaths of invaders. Now they are gathered together, but not to cause much damage to the enemy. The only goal is Get the materials!

Only this can make Zero agree to allow five brainworms to approach the front line of the battlefield!

With the assistance of a large number of insect swarms carrying high-power space cannons, Visser began another attempt. This time, it was determined to win!

They crossed the "vacuum zone" where the two sides were fighting, and rushed forward indomitably despite the enemy's mysterious attacks.

This is a surprise attack, and the purpose of a surprise attack is to surprise. Prior to this, the Zerg had already moved the front line forward at all costs. Every second would cost dozens or millions more individual Zerg lives than under ideal conditions, but in order to complete this plan, everything was worth it.

With the cooperation of the four brainworms, Visser felt much more relaxed. They were not ordinary insects with no defense capabilities and poor attack capabilities. At least in this sudden attack, they had enough self-protection. Ability, and almost unstoppable power in a short period of time!

After the enemy launched the invasion, after 371 oridays, the Zerg obtained a large-scale biological material from the opponent for the first time, and even two living units. The price paid was nearly 400,000 cover. The insect species died during the raid, and more than 790 carefully hatched psychic units were forever turned into cosmic dust.

This is only the casualties of the insect swarm following them. As for the death of the insect swarm on the periphery who had to give up the favorable conditions and choose to charge head-on as a containment, there are countless deaths!

Of course, for the Zerg scientific research units and many eagerly awaited researchers, these casualties are all worth it, even if there are a large number of overall psychic units among them, even if the opponent takes the opportunity to push the front line further back. s position.

.......................................

History has proven many times that as long as the Zerg drags the war into a protracted war, the final winner will inevitably be the Zerg. This was true for the Octopus people back then, this was true for the coalition led by the Colossians, and it was also true for the three major civilizations that followed. .

But this time it was different. While the first invasion point contained a large amount of Zerg's psychic power, the second invasion channel was already opening up. Sass had to urgently mobilize more psychic units from the new universe to establish the defense!

Although the enemy has not been seen yet, there is no doubt that war will break out.

There is a long distance of 70 million light years between the two invasion points. It can be said that they are separated by a sea of ​​​​stars. Even if the insect swarm jumps over, it will take a while!

Of course, compared to the vast territory of the Zerg, this distance is not too far. If a stable space channel is established, a lot of time can be saved. The psychic units from the new universe gathered here in this way. Together with many Zerg units that had undergone targeted transformation, they quietly waited for the enemy to appear in the completed defense circle.

However, the house leaked and it rained all night. Just two hundred and five Oridays later, the insect swarm discovered another "dimensional drift" phenomenon on the other side of the explored universe!

This is the third one!

But this time, the distance between it and the two previous invasion points has been difficult to measure. This is an attack from a completely different direction. In a sense, the invasion from two directions has constituted a serious threat to the Zerg as a whole. A unique "pincer offensive"!

However, the worst thing is that in the new universe, the Zerg can no longer produce enough psychic units to deal with the opponent's invasion. If they only rely on the transformed ordinary units, it may be difficult to restrict the opponent to that area. .
