Chapter Seventy-Four: Evolution: Poison Explosion Bug (Armor Bug Variant)
Seeing Xue Hua shaking his head, Abbather also understood, it didn't say anything, just stretched out its appendage again and gently touched it in front of Xue Hua.
The picture in front of Xue Hua's eyes began to change again.
This time, Abbather's simulated battlefield environment is still a battlefield where the swarm is on the offensive.
The state of the battlefield is that the human forces of the Tyranid Empire guard a radar station on a high ground, which is easy to defend but the last place on the planet where humans can communicate with the outside world.
In order to prevent the Tyranid Empire from sending a fleet of battlecruisers to support the remnants of humanity here, the swarm must breach the radar station before the humans can use it to signal the Imperial fleet.
However, the location of the radar station is quite good, and there are many human heavy firepower units retreating into the radar station, as well as a large number of human infantry units, which can operate the defensive weapons in the radar station and cause great damage to the attacking swarms.
At the same time, a group of researchers from the Insect Research Institute who retreated to the radar station covered the gates of the fortress with a special gelatinous coating.
This colloidal coating is very effective against strong acids and various biochemical toxins, so a normal Poison Blaster raid will not work on this radar station.
There are a large number of ghost fighters in the sky above the radar station, and it is difficult for the Zerg air force to get close to it for support, and even the tunnel worms cannot enter the inside of the radar station.
In this case, Xue Hua needs to use thousands of "armored worm" variants of poisonous explosive insects to open this stalemate, which is undoubtedly a rather difficult task.
The Poison Blasters will be transported from the underground to the perimeter of the radar station by the Tunnel Worms, but the next road will need the Poison Blasters to rush through on their own.
After Xue Hua took over the command of the poisonous explosion insects, he didn't care about any tactics, and just like before, he directly let these poisonous explosion insects with an extra layer of regular black bone plates on their bodies scatter and rushed towards the main entrance of the radar station.
However, when these poisonous explosive insects began to rush up, Xue Hua was immediately shocked.
Because he saw that these guys, who were all black and didn't look like poisonous explosive insects at all, moved almost half as fast as the poisonous explosive insects who had upgraded the centrifugal insect hook before.
They still move by curling up and rolling on the ground like tires, but if they used to move as fast as a normal car, they now move as fast as a Formula 1 car.
So much so that when the human defenders at the radar station spotted them through the radar, these people thought it was a group of alien dragons attacking!
"It's a group of dragons! Let the Ghost Fighters take them all down! ”
"It's not a group of dragons! You idiot! Come and see for yourself! ”
"Oh! My God! What are those? ”
"I don't know! I don't want to know either! All I know we're going to have to bang for! ”
"Come on, then! This time it's time to see who kills more! ”
"Hahahaha......"
The human tank drivers clenched their joysticks excitedly, ready to blast the disgusting bugs with the big babes they sat down on, just like they had done the previous times to repel the biter attacks.
With a muffled sound, all kinds of heavy weapons in the radar station began to wield power, and fiercely projected fire at the rushing poisonous explosion insect swarm.
However, what the operators and drivers did not expect was that by the time the first round of artillery fire had cleared and the smoke had cleared, at least two-thirds of the poisonous blasters had rushed out alive from the bombardment that was large enough to level a hill.
Although some of them were wounded, they all continued to pounce in the direction of the radar station's gate without hesitation, and the speed was incomprehensible.
Seeing this scene, the human defenders in the radar station finally began to panic.
"Damn! They're alive! ”
"What the hell are these? Some kind of cockroach variant? ”
"I don't know! All I know is that we should keep firing!! ”
"Fire! Concentrate your fire! Blow them up! They must not be allowed to approach our radar stations! ”
Once again, the fire of the human defenders was furious, and many Marines even ran up to the outer wall of the radar station with assault rifles.
They were standing on the outer wall and firing frantically at the rapidly approaching poisonous blast bugs, but the super penetration of the "C-14" electromagnetic assault rifle failed this time.
Many of the bullets actually hit the Poison Bugs, but most of them were bounced off by the unusually smooth and hard bone decks.
And even if there are occasional bullets that shoot through the bone plate, the kinetic energy of those bullets is exhausted after passing through the bone plate, and there is no power to continue to damage the insect body protected by the bone plate.
In addition, the poisonous blasters rolled forward, and the huge centrifugal force also threw off a lot of bullets, so the volunteers' volunteering actually didn't play any role at all.....
The same is true for the human heavy firepower units, unless these armored insect variants are hit head-on by heavy artillery shells, it is difficult to kill them with aftermath or shrapnel alone, and the bone plate armor on their bodies can also regenerate quickly, which means that if it can't be killed at once, then it will quickly recover its defenses.
So, despite the best efforts of the human defenders, a large part of the poisonous blasters finally rushed in front of the radar station.
Then an earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the radar station.
However, the human defenders who heard this huge movement showed relaxed expressions, because they already knew what kind of bug was coming.
"It turned out to be a poisonous bug... It just scared the hell out of me......"
"Haha! Did the Zerg change their commanders? Otherwise, how could they not know that the last thing we are afraid of is poisonous explosive insects! ”
"I can't imagine that those thin bamboo poles in white coats are still a little... Damn! Bugs rushed in! Our gates have been attacked!! ”
"Oleg! Don't make such jokes! It's not good at all... What is that? Ahh!!h ”
The defenders' glad laughter only lasted halfway before it was rudely interrupted by the swarm of insects that rushed into the radar station, they had no idea that when the new variant of this poisonous blaster exploded, in addition to the huge strong acid damage, the bone plate on their body would also shatter into hard and sharp shrapnel, which would cause secondary physical damage to everything around them.
Although the gate of the radar station has been urgently reinforced by the SCV, it is not a fortress door in the end, and its impact resistance is naturally poor, so after being indiscriminately blown up by a large group of poisonous explosive insects, the flying bone shrapnel quickly smashed it into a pile of useless scrap metal hanging on the door frame.
Subsequently, the army of insect swarms quickly approached the radar station under the delivery of the tunnel worms, and easily penetrated through the breached door, quickly snuffing out the last resistance of the humans here.
The image in front of Xue Hua's eyes quickly shrank, and he returned to the interface he was very familiar with, where a poisonous explosion insect with a yellow liquid in the vesicle and a poisonous explosion insect covered in black bone plates and more symmetrical looked on both sides for him to choose.
And Xue Hua almost didn't think about it, and directly chose the armored insect variant.
This variant is so much superior to the Regenerate Bug variant, not only greatly increasing the Poison Blaster's self-defense and movement speed, but also enhancing its destructive power.
The most important thing is to give the Poison Explosion Worm a new type of damage, which also gives Xue Hua an extra choice when he encounters monsters with the "Poison Immunity" modifier in the future.
The superiority of these two variants is basically obvious at a glance, and Xue Hua is a little puzzled why Abbather still lets him choose.
When Abbather heard this, he answered him with only a very simple sentence.
"Organisms need to evolve to maintain a survival advantage, and evolution needs comparison to correct fallacies and gain experience."
