Chapter 69: The Zerg

The ruins of Hongshan are located to the west-central part of the island, between Shelter 6 and Shelter 2.

Station 2 is located at the eastern end of the island.

The eastern part of Lakfania is slightly longer and narrower than the western one, which makes the eastern part more profound than the rest of the world. Therefore, the distance that the players in this area have to go through to the shelter station is undoubtedly the longest, and the confluence of the Zerg in this area is relatively slow.

Renault chose to attack to the east.

He and Antonia went to Shelter Two first, and from a distance, the base with the glittering golden energy shield looked like a large gymnasium, which could accommodate all the remaining mechs. There are also a large number of artillery batteries built above the base. These turrets are much more powerful than the guns on the mechs on the ground, each with at least a few hundred S&P.

"Where are we going?" Antonia asked, looking around.

"Don't worry." Renault replied.

He turned on the receiver, and as the satellite signal transmitted, all the bugs and mechs on the entire island appeared on Renault's mecha map.

"Displays all bugs and mechs centered on Station 2 and ten kilometers away in a straight line."

The next moment, the map changed, and a large number of points of light disappeared, and only the information near Station 2 remained.

"Remove all bugs with more than 10 points, and remove bugs with more than two mechs nearby."

The point of light on the map disappears again.

"Find the best path through all the points, do automatic navigation, and share data with the wingmen!"

A zigzag line has appeared on the map and is automatically sent to Antonia.

"Well done." Seeing this, Antonia couldn't help but admire.

I have to admit that the shadow's tactical awareness is indeed much better than his own.

She ran along the designated path, asking as she ran, "But I don't understand, why do you want to get rid of all the bugs with more than ten points?" ”

"Because it's hard to deal with." Following Antonia, Renault replied: "The carapace of the tank bug can withstand an attack of more than 12 S&P, and to hit it is a waste of ammunition; The Overseers are the intelligent class of the Ark Zerg and the smartest bugs, so don't mess with them unless you're lucky enough to run into a lone one; The lurker is even more terrifying, it can act underground and attack directly, you can't even hit it. We may be able to kill one with all our might, but trust me it won't be a good deal. ”

"How do you know so much?" Antonia asked in surprise.

"Read more books." Renault replied.

Although the students trained by Alpha Academy are mainly enemies of the Protoss, it also offers courses on cosmic races, which tell the history and characteristics of various races in the universe. As the Ark Zerg that once caused serious harm to humans, although humans have always regarded them as primitive beasts, they are also one of the few races that have not surrendered to humans.

The first encounter between humans and the Zerg took place on a desolate star. The human toll of that encounter was huge, and the overwhelming swarm shocked everyone, but luckily the humans were the victors of the war, killing all the bugs on that planet - they were completely undomesticated.

People once thought that they had eliminated this primitive and barbaric existence, and it was not until later, on a distant exotic planet, that humans found the figure of the Ark Zerg again in the battle against the Protoss, and then humans realized that the Zerg were no longer creatures on the planet, and they already had the ability to travel across galaxies.

But how on earth do the savage and ignorant bugs do this? Is it through oneself, or is it brought by other wisdom? In subsequent studies, humanity has not found an answer.

At this time, people realized that their understanding of the Ark Zerg was still too superficial, and they didn't know where they came from, what kind of race they were, what the primordial planet was, what they wanted, and so on.

Despite this, due to the savage and cruelty of the Zerg, most people still regard them as primitive and backward beasts, and only some generals in the army have issued warnings that the Ark Zerg is likely to be a race that is not weaker than the Protoss, and the reason why they have not yet made a strong effort is because they are also at war with the Protoss.

However, this voice was quickly ignored, and no one believed that the Zerg would be so powerful, any more than people would believe that tigers would replace humans in their dominance.

Far from it, in any case, people are not ignorant of the Zerg, and some information on common bugs is recorded in detail in the textbook, and it is not unusual for Renault to know this.

"Then it seems that we can only find those low-level bugs to kill, I hate this, there is a feeling of bullying the weak." Antonia replied.

"This is a points competition, if you want to score points, you have to bully the weak, to be truly fair, you have to go to the ring."

"You're always justified." Antonia rolled her eyes.

She was about to say something more when a swift beast burst out of the forest in the distance and pounced on her.

Antonia raised her hand and fired, and to her surprise, she missed the shot.

The swiftlocustling beast ran as fast as it could, but Antonia didn't hit it with a single shot.

"What's going on?" Antonia exclaimed.

I've killed so many speedy beasts in the research institute before, but I've never seen them so fast.

"Be careful, this is their true strength, those in the research institute have been used with weakness potions, and the space there is limited, which is not conducive to the use of fast beasts." Renaud exclaimed, he had rushed over and opened fire on the Velocitor, the bullets pouring straight into the way, making it impossible for the creature to dodge.

"I see." Antonia understood: "In this case, you can only be serious. ”

Her eyes lit up with earnestness, and she fired at the swift beast again.

It was still a point shot, but this time, the velociraptor was not so good again, and was killed before it could reach the two of them.

It wailed and fell not far from Renault. There was no smug expression on the faces of the two.

It's just a velocider, and it bursts near them under the attack of the two, which shows the speed and reaction of this bug. In this way, as long as there are two Velocitors at the same time, at least one will rush to them, and more than three will form a melee pattern.

No wonder the organizers give a point.

It's just a one-point bug, and I don't know what will happen if it's those with higher scores.

The two didn't have time to think about it. I have continued to run along the path.

Since all the bugs are on the move, the best path may not be accurate. But Renault has a very simple method, if it is chasing the mecha bugs, it must be running in the direction of the shelter, if it is not chasing the mecha, it is very likely to wander around the vicinity until it encounters the mecha.

Therefore, when attacking, Renault also included this part of the variables, although it could not be 100% accurate, but it still improved the detection rate a lot.

Along the way, the two encountered three waves of speedy beasts in a row, one of which was two, and the two of them killed the two bugs at the cost of being scratched by one claw each.

Then the two of them came across a swollen green monster. At first, Antonia didn't realize that it was a zerg, but Renault reacted, and a bullet poured over, and the round worm exploded, blasting a large crater several meters in diameter on the flat ground, and Antonia realized that this was a self-detonating bug.

This insect is filled with explosive gases and has an explosion power of 25 standards, which is the same as the spider mine, but it is more flexible than the spider mine, and can automatically pursue the target and distinguish between friend and foe.

Looking at the pit, Antonia also stuck out her tongue: "I really don't understand how such a creature can exist in the universe, how can a life like this, which explodes itself at every turn, reproduce a race?" ”

Renault replied: "This is not a species, but a biochemical weapon of the Zerg. ”

"You're saying those bugs have the intelligence to develop their own biochemical weapons?" Antonia was surprised.

"That's not my opinion, I've been told."

"Who?"

Renault did not answer.

That's what Dandy Bagh said, but his arguments are clearly not well received from above. At present, the only fierce enemy of mankind is the Protoss, and there is no need or desire for a more powerful Zerg.

So Renault just said casually, he didn't intend to defend this realization.
