Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 357 Undead!

In view of the improvement in the application of psychic energy, Zero has deployed a relatively large number of psychic insect species in the third battlefield. If the war intensity of the previous two battlefields is compared, they should be able to defeat the opponent's offensive in the first place. Suppress it.

The reason for doing this is to prevent accidents from happening. The unknown always deserves more attention than the known war conditions.

But Zero still didn't expect that what would finally appear in front of him would be like this!

Those "creatures" that appeared in front of the waiting Zerg were either upright or crawling, had bones or simply soft bodies, and exuded obvious "magic" fluctuations. If I had to describe them, they were like coming from hell. The devils in the world, the ferocious faces of the Zerg can be called "kind-faced" in front of them!

The first feeling that kind of magic fluctuation brings to others is that of evil, and their appearance is constantly reinforcing this feeling!

The strange magic fluctuation is like a will-o'-the-wisp coming from the netherworld, mysterious, evil, and weird.

These creatures don't look like living creatures at all! Their appearances are all kinds of strange. From this point of view, they don't look like the same race at all. What's more, their eyes are shining with green, dark blue or blood red flames, and even their bones and skin are completely integrated. A "magical civilization" of many kinds of creatures!

Their number is not large, and the total number of this batch is only 7 million, but the feeling of zero is much greater than the pressure on any of the previous two battlefields!

Obviously, although they are not comparable to the first two places in terms of numbers, each of them is much more powerful than that biological civilization! !

Compared to the Zerg, the opponent was obviously not a group that won by numbers, but Zero already understood after seeing them that this war would be difficult.

Unfamiliar enemies mean that there may be completely different attack methods. The Zerg need to start over from scratch. However, although the enemies and those biological groups are different, the magic fluctuations that are very similar in nature mean that there is most likely some kind of connection between them. You may already know something about the methods of the Zerg.

This was an intelligence disadvantage, and for the Zerg, such individually powerful and numerous enemies often meant that it was difficult to deal with them. At this moment, Zero's confidence in stopping them was somewhat shaken.

"I'm afraid things are in trouble..." Zero sighed in his heart.

I don’t know how the strength of Sk’s psychic energy compares to the opponent’s magic. There are only 40,000 Zerg psychic units here, which is a lot compared to the other two battlefields, but compared to the enemies in front of them, Xiao Wu See the great witch.

As for the ordinary units of the Zerg, even though they are nearly two thousand times more numerous than the opponent, Zero has no way of preventing the opponent from breaking through!

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

The enemy did not give Zero much time to think. They immediately began to attack in one direction. This meant that the opponent had a unified organizational system, but Zero could no longer care about it at this time.

The insect swarm's defense is like a thin layer of paper in front of them. Compared with previous biological civilizations, they don't even have much long-range contact with the insect swarm. They can cover the sky against the insect swarm. All kinds of attacks that block the sun, they are approaching all the way!

The swarm of insects cannot retreat, because that is equivalent to letting the opponent go. A large number of insect units are surrounding them in the direction of their advance, like a huge curtain. These "mere millions" are called "zero" Surrounded by the presence of “the undead”!

The Zerg's all-round attacks are almost completely defended by the opponent. In addition to the concentrated psychic attacks that can cause casualties to the opponent, other attack methods are pitifully weak for their defense system.

Even the high-power space cannons used by the insect swarm in response to the previous two battlefields were difficult to be as effective as before.

The purpose of the opponent is very clear. Most of them do not seem to have the ability to attack at a super long range. Therefore, these "undead" charging forward with all their strength are going to start a close combat with the insect swarm!

Since entering the space age, there have been too many battles decided at distances of millions and tens of millions of kilometers. In the planet age, close combat capability is the Zerg's top evolutionary priority.

But in the space age, the Zerg can be regarded as "doing as the Romans do", and their long-range and ultra-long-range capabilities have been greatly improved. In most cases, wars with intelligent races are won over this long range. Instead, it requires The chances of melee landing are much less.

In the past five hundred years, after the need to develop a new universe, the Zerg had to pick up melee units again due to the rules of the new universe, but they were limited to psychic units responsible for acquiring resources and new universe material evolution units.

The former is now less than 200,000 in total, and they have to ensure the development in the new universe and the suppression power in the other two battlefields. The latter has more numbers, already over 10 million, but they do not have psychic attack power. , the threat to the enemy is much smaller.

As for the large number of ordinary units, even high-power space cannons and anti-matter cannons have a certain probability of being directly intercepted by the opponent, and it is difficult to play their due role. These huge insect swarms lost their previous status as the main force in this war and were only used as a diversion.

While the psychic units are attacking frontally, they are trying to exert suppressive power by taking advantage of the huge disparity in numbers between themselves and their opponents.

This tactic is very effective, especially after the Zerg completed their psychic improvements before. With these main attack units, they can also play their due role on the battlefield.

But in the face of this group of "undead" that are constantly advancing, its individual strength can be said to be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the biological fleet units in the second battlefield!

The threat from Zerg psychic units to them has become extremely small, and ordinary Zerg species can only rely on a long period of consumption to try to cause damage to the opponent.

But the enemy was obviously unwilling to give the insect swarm so much time. After only forty-one hours, the insect swarm, unable to retreat, started a close combat with the enemy.

Sk temporarily hatched tens of millions of ordinary melee units, but they were wiped out by the opponent's "death magic" almost immediately.

What's even more terrifying is that while Sk was struggling with its defense, it was slightly horrified to discover that many dead Zerg units, those corpses and even biological fragments that originally lay in the deep space of the universe, were slowly, bit by bit. There is some visible change in appearance!

Zero instantly thought of the possible direction of this change, and his heart sank.

The close battle between the two sides had just begun. The tens of millions of Zerg that came to fight broke through the deep space of 200 million kilometers, and were cut through like a piece of wood. They couldn't even stop the opponent for a long time, and the enemy had already arrived at the rear of the large Zerg. In front of the species.

Sk did not have time to think clearly whether to give up this line of defense, this line of defense no longer existed. Those killed Zerg units, just as Zero expected, slowly "came back to life" and became the enemy's "followers", joining the war again as "bug traitors"!

They can't use "magic", but just "fighting insects with insects" is enough to make Sk feel uncomfortable! The enemy individuals killed by the insect swarm became food for their companions and were quickly devoured, without even leaving any research materials for the insect race.

Faced with such an enemy, Sk is really powerless.

The attack methods of these large insect species basically cannot pose a threat to the opponent, and will only become a means to strengthen the enemy.

The situation has deteriorated, and Sk is a little confused.

If you let the opponent pass, it will be equivalent to giving up the defense of the third battlefield, and it is likely that all the efforts made on the previous two battlefields will be in vain.

And if we resist resolutely, the psychic units of the insect swarm are really no match, and ordinary insect species can only become the enemy's accomplices!

Zero was also very confused, but in the end he made a decision. Faced with this situation, Sk can hesitate, but He cannot.

After persisting in fighting for just twenty-one Oridays, the swarm gave up the defense of the third battlefield, and changed from blocking and fighting to following and monitoring.

Zero needs time. It needs Sass to hatch more and stronger psychic units for the Zerg in the new universe. It also needs the scientific research team to find a way to deal with this enemy based on the characteristics displayed by the opponent and the psychic means of the Cerebrates. , no matter how difficult it is, there must be defensive means!

Ling wanted to go deeper than Bisk. He was not worried about the enemies on the first and second battlefields using the defense line released by the Zerg on the third battlefield to flood into the real universe on a large scale.

The difference between the first two battlefields and this one is not only the distance between them, but also the characteristics of "magic". If the enemy can cooperate, then the insect swarm must be attacked by the combination of the two. Instead of fighting each other individually now.

Therefore, at least in a short period of time, the enemy should not use this method to break through the originally unbreakable first and second battlefield defense lines.

As for the future, let's first find a way to deal with these "undead" who have entered the main universe!

I don’t know if this is good news or not. In the explored universe, almost all the intelligent races in the Zerg territory have been destroyed or “collected” by the Zerg. Now, in the universe that was originally barely considered “lively”, only the Zerg Only a huge number of large creatures exist near the survival zones of dozens of intelligent races that have been established.

Even the home planet where these intelligent lifeforms lived or the artificially established life planets and space stations were basically transformed into part of the resources in the Zerg expansion and development process after the war.

Let alone large animals, there may not even be a few bacteria.

This should be considered a blessing in misfortune. As long as the opponent does not go straight to the colony of large intelligent creatures of the Zerg race, and based on their characteristics, if they want to rely on this "infectious" expansion method to quickly expand their combat power, then there is a high probability that It's impossible. The insect swarm will use the agility brought by space jumping to interfere with the opponent's purpose as much as possible.

If you can defend, fight a defensive war. If you can't, fight a protracted war or a guerrilla war. The real universe is very big. Even the Zerg have only explored a corner so far and can completely withstand invasion.

Although the situation was very bad, after Zero calmed down, he no longer felt that the enemy was so powerful that he would not be able to defeat it. The chance of victory still existed, but it still took time.

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

However, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, and what happened next once again caused flaws in Zero's plan.

On the first battlefield, the enemy appeared biological units that the Zerg had never seen before in the war!

Their "magic" level is just like those of the "undead", far beyond the level of ordinary individuals. Zero even feels that in front of these units, the undead are just so average!

This race, which is very similar to the Zerg, seems to be unable to tolerate its own slow progress anymore, and finally takes action!

And Zero finally understood the function of the "magic remnants" released by the enemy's ordinary biological units on the battlefield.

That is the medium these elite units use to control the situation, and it is also their weapon!

The relatively strong "magic fluctuation" gave the enemy the maximum "magic casting space". The insect swarms advancing on the front line died one by one under the attack of these elite enemy units, without the ability to resist!

Under their influence and direct attacks, the insect swarm's control over the war has become weaker and weaker, and the defense line is in danger again and again! If the Zerg family hadn't been strong enough and had sufficient reserves, it might even be possible for them to break through!

Fortunately, the number of these elite units was not large, so Zero managed to survive by using all his means.

But at the same time, he is also very clear that such a war may not last too long, because if the enemy continues to reinforce such elite units in the future, the production speed of Zerg psychic units will simply not be able to match the enemy!

In other words, the race that poses the greatest threat to the Zerg may also break through the Zerg's defense line, and by then, the Zerg will even lose most of its home field advantage!

Therefore, the "undead" can be let in as a last resort, but these "zero bugs" absolutely cannot!

The war has progressed to this extent, and Zero is actually a little worried. The Zerg race should not be extinct, but it is inevitable to fall into a disadvantage on the home field. The only thing that can be relied on is the continued development of the new universe. If the follow-up If there are more "undead" invasions, the Zerg must at least ensure that the connection channel between the new universe and the main universe is in their own hands.

The war is still going on. As Zero expected, these "undead" who entered the main universe have no intention of moving towards the first and second battlefields to rescue their "allies".

They wandered in groups in the main universe, and seemed to know that the insect swarm was always monitoring them. After being scattered four times, they were defeated by the insect swarm's concentrated superior combat power, and achieved a breakthrough in gaining the opponent's strength. After "biological materials", each of their teams maintains enough combat power to defeat tens of thousands of Zerg psychic units, and such Zerg guerrillas cannot be used when the other two battlefields are in emergency. .

The swarm of insects followed them, and Zero watched helplessly as they wandered over the territory of the zerg, and eventually even "camped" near a blue giant with a mass of 3.6 times the mass of Orei's main star, and at the same time sent a large number of "undead" to eliminate it. From the surrounding Zerg vision, it seemed that they wanted to develop on the spot, but Zero had no choice.

Now it seems that the purpose of their invasion war is the universe itself, but why? Where did these creatures, let's call them biological enemies, live before? Is it because the environment no longer allows them to develop freely, or are they inherently aggressive?

Zero didn't know that thinking too much about these issues now was just asking for trouble. What he thought more about was how to eliminate these "undead" who had gradually gained a foothold here. This universe was very big, but it couldn't accommodate it. These invaders!
