Chapter 72: The Insect Tide (I)
>,!
While waiting, a few more people came. The team grew from more than 10 to more than 20.
No one is trying to break away from the group, in fact, everyone knows the importance of unity at this time.
Over time, the number of players was eventually fixed at twenty-seven.
There was a faint roar of the insect swarm in the distance, which didn't sound too far away, but the zerg never came.
"Why haven't the bugs come yet?" Antonia asked.
"It should still be organized." Renault replied.
"It's incomprehensible that some beasts with little intelligence know how to organize and cooperate." One of the players said.
"In fact, the Ark Zerg are the most organized beings known to date, and they are far more organized than humans. There is an existence in the Zerg called the Mother Emperor, and all the insects are absolutely obedient to the Mother Emperor, even if they want to die, they do not hesitate. However, this is not what humans are most interested in, and human scientists have always been curious about how the Mother Queen conveys instructions. At present, the most common belief is that all zergs have an invisible spiritual network, and it is through this spiritual network that the mother emperor obtains information and distributes orders. But none of this has yet to be confirmed, because we haven't even caught a mother. ”
The first contact with the Ark Zerg, after the humans defeated the Zerg, they had come into contact with the mother queen of the Zerg, so they knew about the existence of the mother, but they finally failed to get more information, and the mother queen committed suicide.
Because of this, many of people's understandings of the Zerg are still at the level of reasoning and speculation.
But even so, what Renault is saying at the moment is something that many people don't understand.
At this moment, hearing Renault say this, someone has already asked: "But there is no mother emperor here, how can the Zerg organize it?" ”
Renault replied, "By the Overseers." According to what is known so far, the Overseers are the front-line command arm of the Zerg, and if they exist, they will be organized. There are three types of Overseers, and the Blue Overseers are the lowest, and can dispatch low-level Zerg. ”
In this competition, all the Storm Group invested in the low-level Zerg, and only the Lurker was the only mid-level.
Therefore, in addition to not being able to command the lurkers, the Blue Overseers can all command wisely, and it is because of this situation that the Zerg will unite.
"Does that mean that as long as you kill the Blue Overseer, you can break up the swarm?" Someone asked again.
Clever question.
Renault replied: "Theoretically, yes. ”
"That'll be easy, I'll take care of the Blue Overseer." A guy has burst out laughing.
"You'd better protect yourself first." Someone snorted disdainfully.
"Boy, you're itching, aren't you?"
"My is itchy, do you want to lick it for me?"
The crowd erupted in laughter, and foul language was endless, but everyone finally knew the proportions, and no one staged a nest fight because of this, but it was inevitable that some people would not like each other because of this. Of course, there are also mutual appreciation and familiarity, for example, Renault knew that the owner of the storm mecha was called Knight, one of the veterans of the mecha competition, both personal skills and organizational skills are very strong, and the most rare thing is that the wind reviews are also good, usually just serious competitions, and there is no excessive performance. This made many players respect him. Of course, everyone also knows that Renault is the shadow, the player who laid the expedition.
Time is slipping by.
Suddenly, the jungle fell silent.
I couldn't hear a sound, the wind blew and rattled.
Everyone shut up at the same time, looking ahead with a little nervousness.
Everyone knows that bugs are coming.
The muzzles of the guns were pointed forward, and the atmosphere was suffocating, like the calm before a storm.
Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded: "On it!" ”
Everyone looked up in amazement and saw more than a dozen birds appear in the sky overhead.
"It's a poisonous bee!" Someone with sharp eyes was the first to cry out.
It was the poisonous bee of the Zerg, a creature the size of an eagle, with strong vitality and fast flight.
"Fire!" I don't know who shouted, raised his gun and swept it into the air.
The sound of the gun is the order, all the mecha opened fire on the poisonous bees, and the bullets instantly filled the sky, and one after another the bullets turned into a dragon of flames, bursting out in the sky, and from time to time there were pillars of energy piercing the sky.
The terrible hiss of poisonous bees sounded in the sky, followed by the sound of bee stings whistling and flying, hitting the mecha and stirring up patches of colored light.
Green blood was spilling from the air, broken wings and flesh were sprinkling all over the sky.
"Die! Let's all die! A player shouted frantically and fired into the air, laughing wildly, venting his inner depression and fear with the help of this crazy firing.
"Shoot! Control the shot, don't shoot all the bullets, this is just the beginning! The knight shouted, his cannon fire was very well controlled, and he barely wasted a single bullet while being in the high company, showing his superb personal skill.
As he spoke, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the distant forest. In the next moment, hundreds of swift beasts rushed out frantically and rushed towards the mecha position.
These swift beasts can wield their degree advantage on the open flat land, and they are running quickly, like a group of wild dogs in the unfatal impact, with the poisonous bees in the sky, bringing people huge psychological pressure.
There was no step-by-step improvement, the battle entered the ** at the beginning, the bugs came like crazy, and the players were also frightened, and some mechs had to turn their guns to shoot at the velociraptors, and the pressure on the poisonous bees was immediately reduced.
"Damn, how many bugs are there in these guys, do they want everyone to be eliminated?" One player shouted angrily: "Why didn't I see so much at first. ”
"Because there were really not so many at the beginning, the organizers released them in batches. We will not be exposed to the sea of insects all at once, but we will encounter continuous attacks, and as long as we can block them, the insects will always be there. Renault replied loudly: "The organizers will not let us pass easily." ”
"This group of bitches raised it!" Everyone scolded together.
A poisonous bee swooped down from the sky and landed on one of the players, its sharp needles rattling the mech.
The contestant stretched out his right hand, and the energy blade had pierced into the body of the poisonous bee, stabbing desperately. The damage of high-frequency weapons to lifeforms is far less than that of mechas, and the effect of swing vibration is not large, and more than ten stabs in a row have not been able to stab the poisonous bee to death, but it is the stinger attack of the poisonous bee that makes the mecha's energy drop wildly. At the same time, several more poisonous bees fell, and the player frantically shouted, "Help me!" ”
Renault rushed over: "Whoever has a flamethrower, use that, breathe fire on him!" ”
"I have." A mech player walked over and shouted, "I'm going to use fire on you, first declare, it will burn you." ”
"Burn it!" The player shouted.
Rumble!
The raging flames rushed in, enveloping the poisonous bees in the flames together, and the poisonous bees screamed desperately, and a pungent smell of burnt came with it.
The unlucky player swung a few times in a row, and finally got rid of the poisonous bee, but before he could be free, a fast-speed beast that rushed to the front had already pounced, and one knocked him down, and the knife foot stabbed desperately on his mecha, driving the energy to drop wildly.
The player fired desperately, but the swift beast just wouldn't retreat, and the mecha energy was getting dimmer and dimmer.
"Help me!" The player called for help again.
Renault rushed over and shoved his gun at the swiftloctor's mouth, "Die, beast!" ”
Fired, and the furious stream of bullets instantly burst the mouth of the swift beast.
Only then did the unlucky player stand up, and then look at his energy, his kung fu had dropped by nearly half at this moment, and his face was green.
But as soon as the unfortunate fellow got up, he saw a round worm rolling towards him.
Self-exploding bugs!
The guy's face changed color in fright, and at that moment a bullet struck the auto-detonator with precision, and the bug exploded before it could get close, but the aftermath of the explosion still sent the mech to the ground.
It's Antonia.
"Draw closer, move closer to each other, spray flames, build a wall of fire in front!" Faced with the insects that kept rushing at him, the knight shouted.
All the contestants began to move their mechs closer to each other, and as the battle unfolded, they gradually let down their guard and trust each other, and some real tactics were implemented.
The mechs with flamethrowers stand at the forefront, spewing flames outward, forming a wall of fire on the perimeter.
This wall of fire hinders the attack of the bugs, even if there are bugs that are not afraid of death, fighting the mecha in the flames is equivalent to receiving a double attack, this is still a reminder from Renault to him.
"The front row energy shield switches shield stance!" Renault answered.
Using a shield stance can greatly increase the strength of the defense, but it is also equivalent to giving up the rear defense, if it was at the beginning, Renault would never accept this suggestion, but now I believe that no one is stupid enough to stab him in the back at this time.
The wall of fire, the energy shield, and the ferocious firepower of nearly thirty mechs finally withstood this wave of attacks.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well done." Someone was already laughing.
But at this moment, the earth suddenly trembled, making it impossible for everyone to even stand on their feet.
Renault thought of something and shouted, "Be careful, it's a fire-breather!" ”
