Chapter Seventy-Three: Evolution: Poisonous Explosion Insect (Regeneration Insect Variant)
When Xue Hua finished making his choice, the picture in front of him suddenly changed, the incubator on his back with a little spot of light in the insect swarm host "snapped" and shattered, while the insect swarm host covered with blue glitter lines raised his head and let out a victorious roar towards the sky.
Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.
This rule is especially applicable in swarms.
The evolution of the swarm host was complete, and Abbathhar threw the light gray essence into a hole behind him.
Next, it pushed another ball of pure black essence in front of Xue Hua.
"The essence of the No. 1 test body, isolated to the regenerative tail of the creature, is suitable for the class - Poison Explosion Worm."
"The poisonous explosion insect that is integrated into this essence produces six mutation tendencies, and four of them are eliminated that are meaningless, leaving two mutation tendencies to choose from."
"The first mutation tendency strengthens the regeneration genes of the Poison Blaster, so that it can leave a piece of the body behind after the first self-explosion or destruction, the remnant will dive into the ground, and completely recover and re-burrow out of the ground after more than ten seconds, this ability only has one chance to be used by each Jumping Worm, and the second time it is destroyed or self-detonated, it will still completely destroy the Poison Blaster."
"The second mutation tendency is to strengthen the armor structure and body balance of the Poison Explosion Worm, so that the previously exposed poison sacs on the body are now protected by a bone plate that can be discarded and can be quickly regenerated, these bone plate structures can not only strengthen the Poison Explosion Worm's resistance to attack, but also strengthen the body balance of the Poison Explosion Worm to a certain extent, thus greatly enhancing their action speed.
The 'Evolution-Centrifugal Hook' ability will be removed when the mutation tendency is selected, and replaced with 'Evolution-Bone Plate Fragments'.
Due to this mutation tendency that the Poison Blaster no longer needs a centrifugal Hook to increase its mobility, the evolution option has been changed to increase the Poison Blaster's destructive power and damage type.
The Bone Plate Fragment evolution option causes sharp cracks to appear on the edges and inside of the disposable defensive bone plates on the Poison Blaster, and when the Blaster self-destructs, these cracks will cause the Bone Blaster to turn into sharp bone shrapnel that shoots in all directions, damaging creatures, slicing armor, and allowing the Blaster to damage creatures that are highly resistant to strong acids. β
After Abbather introduced the mutation information, he didn't say much, but just used his appendage in front of Xue Hua again.
That picture appeared in front of Xue Hua's eyes again.
This time, Abbathhar simulated an offensive battlefield flanked by the human defenders of the Tyranid Empire, defending a massive fortress built in a valley.
The swarm under Xue Hua's command was very powerful, with a size of millions, but the army could not be deployed in the valley, and the human defenders also had a large number of siege tanks, fortress artillery groups, and Thor mechs inside the fortress.
If they attack rashly like this, these mechanized heavy artillery units of humanity will inflict heavy casualties on the swarm.
Therefore, Xue Hua must first control the "regeneration worm" variant of thousands of poisonous explosion insects to blow up the gate of the human fortress, so that the insect swarm can directly drive in without having to pay a huge price in the siege.
The way for the poisonous explosion insect to enter the battlefield is to be airdropped by the king worm from a high altitude.
The King Worm will directly drop them not far from the fortress to prevent the Poison Explosion Worm from losing a lot due to the opponent's strong firepower.
After the combat mission began, Xue Hua quickly controlled the poisonous explosion insect swarm to disperse and rush on the battlefield to avoid being bombarded by the opponent's heavy fire system.
The fierceness of the firepower in the human fortress was still a little beyond Xue Hua's imagination.
Huge explosions and mushroom clouds rose into the sky as the Poison Blasters continued to bloom in their path.
The non-stop poisonous explosion insects were splashed and torn apart by the blasted slurry.
But Xue Hua keenly discovered that these poisonous explosive insects that seemed to have been bombarded, and some of the stumps of the scattered limbs would remain active, and they took the opportunity to hide underground.
And when Xue Hua arrived at the gate of the fortress with fewer and fewer remnants of poisonous explosion insects, in his main nest mind, the poisonous explosion insects that had been "lost" before suddenly reappeared.
Although Xue Hua had been mentally prepared for this situation, he frightened the human defenders who were firing frantically inside the fortress.
"Oh my God! Where did those come from?! β
"Resurrected! They are resurrected! Damn God! β
"Then kill them once!"
"But the ones in front have already rushed to the door!"
"Commander! Assign fire lanes! β
In the heavy firepower cluster of the human race, the radio information exploded as if it were chaotic, and because the human commander was still stunned, these siege tank and Thor mecha drivers and fortress gun operators had to fire freely first, and there was a random bombardment.
Fortunately, the human commander eventually reacted, began to allocate fire lanes, and quickly eliminated the resurrected poisonous blasters.
However, at this time, it was too late for him to react, and the remaining half or so of the poisonous explosion insect swarm had already rushed to the metal gate of the fortress, and activated the self-detonating protease reaction chain in his body.
Boom Boom Boom !!Boom Boom
A deafening explosion rang out in front of the metal gate, and all the human defenders held their breath.
However, after the explosion had died down, the metal gate was still standing, despite being twisted and deformed.
"Great! We won! Fuck those damn bugs! β
"Let Viking fighters increase their patrols! We can't afford the next Poison Blaster Raid! β
"Damn bugs! Come on! Your uncle is going to kick your ass hard! β
"Kill the insects! Kill all these bugs!! β
"Wow! I love those engineers! Thank you to them for making our gate so sturdy! β
Seeing this, the human defenders immediately cheered collectively, and they all believed that as long as they blocked this wave of Zerg raids, then the commander of the swarm would not risk attacking this fortress armed to the teeth again.
However, Xue Hua, who also saw this scene, only slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
It's so naΓ―ve, these humans are so naΓ―ve!
He sneered as he watched several SCVs rush out from the rear and quickly come to the gate of the fortress to repair the gate.
At the same time, in the mind of his main nest, those poisonous explosion insects that have already exploded once have begun to quietly "recover".
"That's not right! All of them! Stay vigilant! β
The human commander still had two brushes, and instead of joining in the cheers of his men, he frowned and looked at the radar screen in front of him.
And when he saw one after another poisonous explosion insects suddenly burrowing out from under the ground in front of the fortress gate, his face suddenly began to turn pale as if he had seen a resurrected ghost.
He yelled in the communication channel, trying to get all defensive fire positions to immediately fire at the swarm of poisonous blasters emerging from the surface, but by the time the tankmen heard his warning, it was too late.
The revived swarm of poisonous blasters slammed directly into the nearby fortress gate, and then the deafening explosion rang out again.
This time, the metal fortress gate with the alloy structure could no longer withstand such an intense attack, and less than ten seconds after the explosion sounded, it shattered into a cloud of metal shards.
At this moment, the expressions of all the human defenders who were still celebrating the victory just now froze in an instant......
The swarm soon launched a general assault, and almost unhindered the capture of the human fortress that had lost its gates.
And Xue Hua's vision quickly retreated from the battlefield.
Thinking about the battle just now, Xue Hua pondered seriously for a while, but finally shook his head with a wry smile.
The Regenerate Bug variant can explode twice, which is equivalent to doubling the value of a poisonous blast bug, but the problem is that it has no advantage other than that.
Aside from the fact that its destructive power is twice that of a normal Poison Blaster, this variant is otherwise no different from the Ordinary Poison Blaster.
And this double destructive power can only bully those enemies who see this variant for the first time.
When the battle is fought later, people only need to get an anti-stealth unit and put it on the battlefield, and wait until the poisonous explosion insect explodes or is destroyed, and the stump burrows into the ground to regenerate during the time period, and directly uses heavy firepower to destroy the poisonous explosion insect that is being reborn underground......
Then this variant is equivalent to no effect......
