The Zerg Emperor of the End of the World - Chapter 528
c528 The Terminator of Hot Weapons
However, this situation changed immediately after Wang Jin summoned hundreds of metal devouring insects from space and released them to the battlefield.
As soon as these metal devouring insects, which were more than 300 meters in size, had no head or feet, and were round like a meat mountain, appeared on the battlefield, the black spots on their bodies quickly lit up and kept changing colors.
And in such a change, the bullets, shells, and missiles originally fired from the positions of the Qin army in front all slowed down, turned around and were absorbed by the metal devouring insects.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After approaching the metal devouring insects, the bullets began to deform and twist rapidly. Under an invisible force, they split into several petals and finally fell to the ground powerlessly, unable to cause any harm to the insect swarm.
Like bullets, shells and missiles are also the same, because the power of the metal devouring insects acts on the whole body of the missile, not only the outer metal shell is decomposed, but also the precision parts inside, which are destroyed beyond recognition, making many shells unable to explode, and just become a broken dud.
The soldiers at the Daqin base were dumbfounded. They found that all the bullets and shells they fired were useless. Before they could be fired into the insect swarm, they were sucked into the metal devouring insects and eventually fell to the ground without any effect, making the countless hot weapons on their positions useless.
The suction of the metal devouring insects covers a long range. More than a hundred of them basically cover and protect the sea of insects. Even the anti-ground missiles shot down from the sky were caught by the suction in mid-air and turned into duds after being attracted.
As the metal devouring insects began to roll forward and slowly approached the Daqin army position, an even more terrifying scene occurred.
In front of the battlefield, a Daqin soldier was still worried about the ineffectiveness of the bullets he fired. Suddenly, he felt a huge force coming from the rifle in his hand. He couldn’t hold it and was dragged several meters away. If he hadn’t let go quickly, he would have been lifted into the air by the rifle.
The rifle flew diagonally into the sky and flew towards a metal devouring insect thousands of meters away. After approaching, it turned into a pile of parts scattered on the ground.
There are countless examples like this soldier. After the metal devourer moved forward, the guns in the hands of the Qin soldiers were sucked into the vicinity of the metal devourer because of the metal structure. Finally, they turned into a pile of broken parts.
Tens of millions of guns were controlled by the suction of the metal devourer at the same time, making the sky look like a waterfall of rifles. It was spectacular. Of course, the soldiers of the Lishan Army thought it was spectacular. At this time, the soldiers of the Qin Army were in a state of mental collapse.
And the metal devourer did not only absorb the rifles. As the metal devourer moved closer, the tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and low-flying helicopters could not resist the increasingly strong suction. Finally, they staggered and floated towards the metal worms, and they all became scrap metal without exception.
Many tank soldiers and helicopter pilots were unlucky. It was difficult for them to escape from the vehicles sucked by the metal devourer in the first place. They would be squeezed to death by the twisted steel of the vehicles, and their appearance was very miserable.
As a result, various tanks and armored vehicles kept retreating, and helicopters and anti-gravity aircraft in the sky did not dare to dive down and bomb at low altitude, otherwise they would definitely not be able to return, and would be caught by the suction of metal devouring insects and become a pile of scrap metal, and they would not be able to escape the fate of being squeezed into meat patties alive.
The appearance of metal devouring insects undoubtedly caused the battlefield situation to quickly turn to the swarm of insects. With the existence of metal devouring insects, the hot weapons of the Qin army completely lost their due role. Except for the energy shells fired by a few weapons, which the metal devouring insects could not control, other weapons were worse than a fire stick, and were completely a terminator of hot weapons.
“Kill those ghosts for me, use energy shells.”
Mu Yi, who was at the back of the battlefield, saw the situation in front and shouted anxiously.
The energy cannon of the golden warship in the sky turned its target, and in a dazzling flash, it fired at hundreds of metal devouring insects on the ground.
Boom boom boom! A series of violent explosions sounded, and more than 20 metal devouring insects exploded and paralyzed, but more than 80 continued to move forward. Although they were scarred, this did not prevent them from playing the role of magnets.
The metal devouring insects with a diameter of more than 300 meters had ordinary defense capabilities, but with their huge size, they could not be easily blown up by ordinary shells. Unless they were fired at multiple volleys, these Zergs with great threats to thermal weapons would not stop easily.
The golden warships of the Daqin base wanted to continue the attack, but the Corruptors put too much pressure on them. Just now, a round of volleys caused them to lose hundreds of warships, so it was impossible to keep firing volleys. They could only look for opportunities to shoot, which undoubtedly gave the ground swarms the opportunity to launch a surging offensive.
The sea of insects that were not bombarded by dense rain of bullets gradually crossed the trench traps in front of the Daqin base line, biting and killing the unarmed Daqin base soldiers who were at the forefront.
Human soldiers and Zerg swarms are often slaughtered one-sidedly in close combat. What’s more, the only secret weapons of these soldiers, guns, have been sucked away by the metal devouring insects, leaving behind not even a dagger. As a result, these soldiers can only wave their fists pitifully and fight with the Zerg swarms at close range. The result is self-evident.
How can humans be a match for the killing machine Zerg with just a pair of fists? The most numerous and weakest velociraptors in the Zerg can fight dozens of unarmed soldiers alone, not to mention other stronger and ferocious Zergs.
Wherever the Zerg sea passed, soldiers were devoured one by one. Personal bravery is a joke in front of the Zerg. Even if you are fierce, you can’t cause any damage to the Zerg with just a pair of fists.
More soldiers were scared. They saw the fate of their comrades without weapons and knew clearly the consequences if they didn’t retreat. If they had weapons in their hands, these elite soldiers could still firmly believe and fight to the death.
But now, let alone heavy weapons, they don’t even have decent weapons. They either hold their fists or grab a stone or a branch. Such simple and primitive equipment is nothing but suicide.
So a large number of soldiers began to retreat spontaneously without receiving orders from their superiors. The army of the Daqin base was quite elite. Even if they fled, they did not directly attack the rear positions, but fled to the sides. Otherwise, the insect swarms would take the opportunity to kill them, and the Daqin base would probably be defeated.
The situation on the battlefield was not optimistic for the Daqin base. The insect swarms on the ground began to move left and right, but the Daqin base, which had few hot weapons, could only retreat again and again, watching the bunkers and tunnels that they had built with great effort being occupied one by one. More insect swarms, led by thunder beasts, charged towards the Daqin army in the rear.
