- Chapter 400 - Mutation and evolution! Miniature Falling Star Sky Lance Tower! The Queen is coming!
After the light of the metallic hydrogen bomb gradually dissipated, countless huge cocoons suddenly appeared in the dust filled with radioactive materials.
Without exception, these cocoons grew out of the corpses of the original thunder beasts.
At this moment, a large number of cocoons covered with dense pores are desperately sucking the radioactive materials around them. This disgusting sight of crawling is making people feel scalp numb.
The Zerg seem to be relying on this special nutrient to breed some unknown and terrifying creature.
“What’s going on? I’ve never seen a bug with this kind of function!”
Even Jim Raynor, who had experienced hundreds of battles and fought against the Zerg countless times, felt at a loss at this moment. He had never seen such a scene.
Soon, Dr. Ariel Hansen, who was responsible for studying the zerg, thought of something. She immediately reminded the commander of the frontline base through the communication device of the Science Hub:
“Be careful! This is the enhanced immune system of the Thunder Beast. They can absorb radioactive substances and convert them into their own nutrients!”
After hearing Ariel’s explanation, everyone suddenly looked shocked. The Zerg actually had such ability, which was completely beyond their normal understanding of living things.
Normal organisms are afraid of avoiding radioactive substances, let alone absorbing them. This is simply unbelievable!
Regarding this, Li Ang remained calm. He remembered that in the plot line of “StarCraft: Heart of the Swarm”, there was a branch of Ultralisk called Zerg.
They are formed by absorbing human radioactive substances, causing their own genes to mutate.
The biggest feature of this mutated thunder beast is that it can turn into a cocoon after death and quickly resurrect by absorbing radioactive materials, which is why the current scene happened.
The metallic hydrogen bomb was originally dropped to ensure that the Thunder Beast could be killed, but unexpectedly the radioactive material produced actually contributed to the mutation and evolution of the Thunder Beast, allowing it to be reborn in the explosion.
At this moment, the mutated thunder beast with purple color all over its body emerged from the cocoon in the thick dust.
The Thunder Beast that has absorbed radioactive material has become larger in size, as if it has received some kind of enhancement buff.
Seeing the dead Thunder Beast actually resurrected on the spot, all the giant warriors were dumbfounded. The dead bug could still activate the second stage. Those who didn’t know it thought they were just fighting the BOSS!
The Queen of Blades calmly watched everything that happened before her. It was obvious that this was what she had expected.
The Zerg are not invincible from the beginning. They will continue to evolve during the battle and improve their own shortcomings.
Theoretically speaking, as long as they fight for long enough, the Zerg can learn any skill from their opponents. This innate ability is quite terrifying!
The protoss relies on spiritual cultivation and pursues pure spiritual power to ascend to sainthood, while the Zerg rely on the “comfort of fighting” to achieve greatness!
At this moment, a large number of airdrop pods fell from space again, and the bacteria carpet that had been cleaned once instantly glowed with new vitality.
As long as the Queen of Blades’ hive fleet is still there, no matter how many of the bugs below are killed or injured, they can still regroup and continue to attack.
David Martinez suddenly realized that he still underestimated the Zerg’s ability to adapt and evolve. This may be the most troublesome Zerg civilization that the world’s giants have ever seen.
More powerful mutant thunder beasts are about to join the battlefield, and the next battle will undoubtedly be more difficult!
At this moment, good news came from the rest of the orbital theater:
[Report to the headquarters, the zerg on our side have basically been cleared, and the energy transfer from the miniature falling star sky spear tower is ready. 】
David finally waited for this moment. Although the Zerg had evolved in this war, the world’s giants were well prepared and had plenty of means to deal with it.
The giant company in the world is not only equipped with an AI hard light turret, but also a falling star sky spear tower that mixes multiple forms of energy. It is also a big killer weapon prepared by the giant company for the Zerg!
Now it’s time to put it to use.
“Okay, prepare to store energy and launch.” David Martinez quickly learned about the situation in other orbital theaters through the holographic screen in front of him.
Since the Zerg’s main attack direction was the frontline base headquarters of giant companies, the colonial theaters in other orbits did not encounter any decent invasion at all.
They are all insignificant minions. They can easily block the vast majority of ordinary bug units with just the AI turret array.
Now that these war zones have been released from the fiercest fighting state, they can completely free up excess engine energy to activate the Falling Star Sky Spear Tower and wipe out a wave of overflowing Zerg armies.
Soon, as David’s order was issued, the Falling Star Sky Spear Tower officially started to store energy, and a large amount of energy was gathered from the engines in each theater.
In the core of the frontline base, a towering giant turret rises from deep underground, and energy beams from various war zones are projected here.
The dazzling light beams were transmitted one after another, and finally arrived at the frontline base. Thousands of energy beams condensed into one point, turning into the starting energy for the Falling Star Spear.
At this moment, the towering miniature Falling Star Sky Spear Tower was turning towards the Zerg. Because the shield force field of the frontline base required planetary engines to charge and maintain it.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the miniature falling star sky spear tower is used as one of the trump cards.
After all, firing a gun requires all the energy of the engine.
But now with the additional energy supply from other war zones, the frontline base headquarters can have the luxury of hitting these bugs hard without turning off the shield field!
Immediately, the energy storage device of the Falling Star Spear Tower was filled with huge energy.
After the transformation of the Universal Giant Enterprise, the energy stored in this turret includes dark matter, the fifth element, and even some psychic power!
Although it is not as destructive as the real Falling Star Spear, this mini version of the Falling Star Spear is more convenient, charges faster, and is more suitable for a variety of battlefield environments.
Relying on the energy transmitted from various battle zones, the top of the Falling Star Spear Tower is like a blue sun rising, illuminating the surrounding night sky as bright as day.
Fortunately, there are no human soldiers active on the battlefield outside, otherwise they will be blinded in minutes.
Faced with the counterattack measures of the Universal Giant Enterprise, the Zerg showed no fear. Led by the Thunder Beast, they once again launched an attack on the headquarters of the Giant Enterprise.
This attack is more fierce than any previous one!
At this moment, even the AI hard light turret array seems a little weak and powerless, unable to contain this surging tide of insects.
Fortunately, the Falling Star Sky Lance Tower has been fully charged. Under the calibration of the AI Red Queen, the turret has been aimed at the Zerg, waiting for David’s order.
“Fire!”
Instantly, a huge energy beam poured down from the top of the Falling Star Sky Lance Tower like a surging waterfall, and the strong glare covered everything around.
It seemed that the entire universe was about to be melted by this light, and the entire wild and bloody world was left with only this dazzling blue and white.
Accompanied by bursts of violent roars, the roars and roars of the Zerg on the battlefield became as faint as mosquitoes, and the entire front-line base was completely quiet, and time also stopped at this moment.
Through the holographic screen of the headquarters, David saw a dazzling beam of light sweeping across the entire Zerg swarm, and all living things melted in this pure white light in the blink of an eye.
It was like winter snow melting in the spring breeze.
Immediately afterwards, the earth-shaking tremor spread throughout the headquarters base, and countless fungal blankets and the earth’s crust were overturned by the Falling Star Sky Lance Tower.
The uplifted crust squeezed out a small hill, which looked like a giant awakening, revealing a bony back.
After a while, the protruding peak had risen to a height of more than 3,000 meters, and hundreds of millions of tons of soil and rocks were thrown into the atmosphere, turning into meteors and splashing in all directions.
Under the full power output of the miniature Falling Star Sky Lance Tower, the Zerg was almost wiped out in an instant and completely ceased to exist.
Even the mutant thunder beasts that achieved secondary evolution by absorbing radioactive substances were all vaporized and evaporated the moment the beam swept across.
The only trace that can prove that they have been here is a vague black shadow left on the ground.
In the face of absolute energy pouring, any defensive shell is useless.
In front of the destructive giant structure that condenses the wisdom of countless civilizations, any powerful biological individual seems so small and powerless.
Every area swept by the beam of the Falling Star Sky Spear was filled with flames that shot up into the sky, and the earth’s crust was flying, like countless volcanoes erupting collectively.
Under the dark night sky, this scene was particularly tragic and elegant.
The “volcano” that reached the sky lasted for nearly ten minutes before gradually weakening. During this period, the rock layers that turned into obsidian fell to the ground like meteors.
The black rain made a crisp crackling sound.
In the correct version of one by one!
When the scorching smoke gradually dissipated, only a gully wider and deeper than the Great Rift Valley of East Africa was left on the ground, like a hideous scar on the surface of the earth.
At the bottom of the gully, there was still a raging flame, which looked like an open door to hell, burning with boiling fire forever.
The swarm of insects swept by the Falling Star Sky Spear turret had long disappeared. Under such an attack intensity, it was difficult for any creature to survive.
Not to mention the broken limbs and remnants, even finding a little bit of fur and tissue fragments is a fantasy.
At this moment, the fissures burning with flames are like a moat, blocking the Zerg tide that is landing behind, and extending to the cracks deep underground, making it difficult for the Zerg troops behind to pass.
The endless gullies forcibly divide the earth. This is the technological power of the giant enterprise of the universe. There are so many means of star explosion that it is difficult to choose.
As more war zones have achieved phased victories, more engine energy has begun to gather towards the front-line base headquarters, and the next round of Falling Star Sky Spear bombardment is brewing.
Immediately afterwards, the energy-gathering device on the tower once again burst out a stronger beam of rays, sweeping the Zerg troops that had just landed and had not yet gained a foothold.
In the face of such a destructive weapon, the Zerg had no chance to get close to the base headquarters.
Before their troops charged over, they were shot and evaporated by the beams of the Falling Star Sky Spear. No matter how many Zerg there were, it seemed meaningless at this moment.
After witnessing all this, the Blade Queen suddenly realized her serious mistake.
From the very beginning, she fell into the trap carefully designed by the Universal Corporation. Since humans dared to put the key stone here, there must be a means of guarantee.
Originally, the Blade Queen thought that she could force the giant corporation to use its ultimate move, but she never thought that every step of her seemingly correct decision was calculated by the other party.
Facts have proved that the Universal Corporation has many countermeasures. This force is obviously playing the pig to eat the tiger!
Watching more and more Zerg troops being annihilated one by one, purely for nothing, more and more planetary-level engine energy gathered here, and other orbital war zones have been counterattacked by the giant corporation.
The Queen of Blades finally wakes up. This is an unprecedented super human civilization, and their existence exceeds the existing dimensions of the universe!
From technology to war wisdom and strategic determination, it is enough to show the power of this human force. This is by no means comparable to the Tyranid Federation and others.
After receiving the support of engine energy from other war zones, the Falling Star Sky Spear Tower has become an artifact of the giant company’s base.
Every impact and sweep can kill a large number of insects in an instant. This invincible feeling of mowing grass has made the officers of the giant company who have watched it a lot go crazy.
From the pinched toes to the numb scalp, every blood vessel in the body was rushing with passionate blood.
They just wanted to step forward and control the Falling Star Sky Spear Tower in person, and shoot these damn bugs fiercely.
At this time, the charging progress of the keystone has reached 95%. Now the overall situation has been decided. Even the Queen of Blades is too late to lead the team to retreat.
After the fully charged Key Stone releases psychic energy, it will spread the energy to every corner of the galaxy in an instant. The Queen of Blades cannot escape at all!
Now, the Queen of Blades has been forced by the giant company to the point where she must make a desperate move. Retreating not only means wasting all previous efforts, but also means certain death.
Since relying on the number of Zerg and tactics can no longer solve the problem, we can only throw out our last trump card and fight to the death with the world’s giants!
【alarm! The Queen of Blades is entering the atmosphere. 】
At this time, a reminder sounded from the base headquarters, and the Zerg fleet in low-Earth orbit was seen moving. The Queen of Blades could no longer hold back and decided to end it herself.
“Finally!”
David Martinez has been waiting for a long time. He and the Queen of Blades have been fighting in the air for so long, just for this moment to force the Queen of Blades to take action.
However, for the giants of the world, whether the Queen of Blades escapes or fights to the end, it will not affect the final outcome. As long as the Zerg are held back and time is won, the giants will be the ultimate winners!
“Do we need to release part of the psychic impact first to intimidate the Queen of Blades?”
Paul asked aloud.
Now that the Queen of Blades has taken action personally, the next one to appear will definitely be the elite ace troops of the Zerg. Using the Xel’Naga artifact to destroy them is of course the best choice.
Without the core elite troops, the Zerg’s remaining defeated troops were unable to deal with the giant’s Falling Star Sky Spear Tower.
“No, hold on a little longer.”
David shook his head. Now there is only the last bit of progress left before the key stone is fully charged. There is no need for them to be so anxious to activate the key stone’s psychic impact in advance.
Wouldn’t it be better to wait a little longer and go straight to the point where the key stone is fully charged and purified together with the Queen of Blades?
