Chapter 230: Taking advantage of the situation
"Ouch!"
Lanie, Tiffany, and Fried improved quickly after treatment.
The unpleasant thing is the parasites that come out of their mouths.
It is long and curved and covered with red hair, giving people an ominous feeling.
It's stomach-churning to watch.
Ta Ling commanded the medical puppet in time to take the three parasites for examination.
Lanny, Tiffany, and Fried also lay down in the transparent cabins, but they did not need to strip off, soak in nutrient solution, and receive detoxification treatment and real-time monitoring to avoid any sequelae.
At the same time, at Link's request and with Shandora's consent, Tarling gave the remaining five people a comprehensive physical examination.
Including blood tests and body scans.
Facts have proved that caution is still necessary.
The presence of parasites was detected in four more wounded people.
Moreover, the parasites on their bodies have been nourished by a large amount of vitality and have grown to extremely large sizes.
They were almost twice the size of the parasites vomited by Lanie, Tiffany, and Freed.
In such a situation, it is obvious that inducing vomiting cannot be used.
The four wounded could only be anesthetized and surgically cut open to remove the worms.
As a result, the recovery time will be lengthened.
Shandora reluctantly agreed to this approach.
In order to ensure the safety of the four friends, we can only accept the fact of significant non-combat attrition.
Laney, Tiffany, and Fried will need time to recover, and the four friends will need even longer to recover.
Now, including Shandora herself, there are only five people in the micro-legion who have combat capabilities and can deal with the Zerg.
"Let's go to the cockpit."
After confirming that the lives of her friends were not in danger, Sandora took the lead and left the medical cabin.
Relying on holographic projection to understand the enemy's situation is more intuitive than being in the cockpit/command hall.
And many times, manual operation is more effective than relying solely on the tower spirit.
Link and three other members of the academy's big families followed Shandora.
A witch who had never communicated with Link deliberately walked next to Link.
The witch has long wavy golden hair, draped casually on her shoulders. She has three-dimensional facial features, emerald green eyes that seem to be able to speak, slightly larger lips, and flaming lip gloss, making her look like Angelina Jolie.
Before entering the cockpit, she turned around and said softly to Link: "Thank you for your two timely discoveries and saving my brother."
After saying that, she didn't tell Link who her brother was. She blinked and said: I winked and walked into the cockpit.
However, Link guessed from his appearance that her brother was a thin young man with a stern face, the leader of the combat team.
The two look quite similar, with a slightly colder temperament.
Not taking this incident to heart, especially that flirtatious look, Link followed closely into the cockpit.
"The warp engine has been repaired!"
As soon as he entered, he heard Talling reporting good news.
A fully powered starship is always a better situation.
Fight when you want, leave when you want, come and go freely.
Sandra sat in the captain's seat at this time, looking at the specially enlarged Zerg figures on the screen, especially observing their various performances, and found that it was indeed as Link Grande said, surrounding " Most of the Zerg species on the "Yun Ni" are like empty shells that have been eaten away by parasites.
Under Sandora's instructions, the offensive firepower of the "Yunni" dropped a few more intensities, and it was no longer a covering attack.
Only focus on taking care of those Zerg that rush within a certain distance.
Kill them one by one, not suddenly.
Link found a seat and sat down, observing the shuttle abandoned by Sandora through the brain screen.
Switched to several different viewing angles, rotated, and zoomed in.
An idea came to mind.
Just do it if you think of it. Anyway, the command of the "Yunni" has nothing to do with him.
Then do something you want to do and can do.
After all, he is a member of the micro-legion, so he can gain some strength.
After Link reported Shandora and obtained the tower spirit's permission, he connected to the shuttle's control system.
After some operations on the smart computer, the self-inspection and disinfection procedures of the shuttle were started.
"This...this..."
Not long after, the brain that had completely taken over all systems of the shuttle made a sound that sounded like a chaotic electric current.
The results of the self-test and disinfection procedures are out.
No bugs were found inside or outside the shuttle, but an unknown shadow was spotted near the engine.
Link immediately switched the perspective and found the real-time surveillance video of the unknown shadow at the engine.
After looking at it carefully for a while, the more I looked at the shadow, the more it looked like a praying mantis.
Recalling the group classification of the Zerg, Link recognized the group to which the unknown shadow belonged. To translate, it was the shadow mantis.
This is a group within the Zerg tribe that specializes in lurking, spying on intelligence, assassinating, and raiding.
So far, three groups have appeared on the battlefield.
This situation must be taken seriously.
And the group of shadow mantises is quite special.
"Report, Shadow Mantis found."
Link didn't waste any time and immediately forwarded the surveillance video and the introduction to the Shadow Mantis group to Captain Sandora and three other comrades.
"Hiss..."
A gasping voice sounded.
The crew-cut brother with a short haircut and an unimpressive appearance exclaimed: "F*ck, Shadow Mantis? How could this thing appear here?" According to the arrangement of the wizarding world, the Shadow Mantis clan is
in Under the strictest surveillance.
No matter how careless the agencies under the Supreme Council are, it is impossible for the shadow mantis to run around in all the worlds.
For the shadow mantis to appear here, there must be something hidden in it.
It was this secret that shocked Brother Flathead.
As we all know, although the reproduction of the Zerg is sexual reproduction, the eggs can be stored in advance and directly spawned when needed.
If the vague guess in Brother Pingtou's heart was not wrong, the trouble they faced was getting bigger and bigger.
"Let's withdraw."
Brother Flathead couldn't help but retreat when he thought of a terrifying possibility. "This matter is no longer something we can handle."
Sandora remained silent, neither saying anything about withdrawing nor saying anything about withdrawing. I didn’t say I wouldn’t withdraw.
She knew exactly what Brother Flathead was thinking.
It's just that this mission went as wrong as it did now, and the responsibility does not lie with the Micro Legion at all.
It was a major flaw in the agencies under the Supreme Council.
The Zerg are playing tricks under their noses, and they haven't made many valuable discoveries yet.
The mission details given are full of errors and misleading.
Otherwise, the micro-corps would respond in a timely manner, respond appropriately, and have strong financial resources and advanced equipment.
If it were any other ordinary team that came to perform this task, the team would have been wiped out long ago!
Moreover, the identity of the Zerg race that can possess insect eggs to cultivate a group of shadow mantises must not be simple.
Combined with the mission world Zerg, it is a branch of the royal family that once ruled the super-civilized Zerg world. This mission background.
Anyone with a discerning eye can guess that it is most likely a remnant of a direct descendant of the Zerg royal family, trying to make a comeback and gathering strength.
A remnant of the direct descendant of the Zerg royal family, he started out as a level 5 extraordinary being.
This identity and level "match" the level 5 brood very well.
It's just a level 5 target, and the "Yun Ni" is not afraid.
However, the level 5 remnants of the direct lineage of the Zerg royal family are not something that the miniature army can deal with.
No, we haven’t even met each other yet, so we lost 7 people.
In terms of individual strength alone, the micro-legion has no power to fight back in front of the level 5 Zerg! While Sandora was contemplating countermeasures, Link had already controlled the shuttle to adjust its course and head towards the level 5 mother nest at full speed.
He wanted to take a closer look at the brood nest that struck him as strange.
Apart from the sudden appearance and startling everyone, the Brood Nest remained motionless and made no further movements.
Neither launched an attack on the "Yun Ni" nor released a new Zerg army.
This performance is quite similar to those Zerg puppets that were chewed into empty shells.
The shadow mantis at the shuttle engine noticed something was wrong and began to attack the engine frantically.
However, Shadow Mantis's advantage lies in its stealth ability, not its attack ability. For a while, it was unable to do anything about the shuttle engine's protective cover.
In space, the Zerg defending the mother nest discovered the strange movement of the shuttle.
Well...
the shuttle is still cloaked, but that's useless.
The scorpion zerg in the mother nest cannot detect the invisible shuttle with the naked eye, but they can sense the special fluctuations emitted by the shadow mantis.
One after another, the scorpion zerg appeared on the shuttle's route, forming a thick line of defense, ready to intercept the shuttle.
Link directly switches the operating mode from automatic to manual driving.
After getting a little accustomed to the various operations of the shuttle, Link started "space racing".
Thanks to his previous training with the "Tissot" and "Hummingbird" class star battleship, Link's "driving skills" are very good.
He controlled the shuttle to dodge left and right, successfully evading attacks and interceptions from one scorpion Zerg after another.
This process is very thrilling. If you are not careful, the car will be destroyed and the shadow mantis will die.
Fortunately, there was no danger. The shuttle did not fire a single shot during the whole process, and it miraculously passed through the interception line of the Scorpion Zerg. It relied on its speed to throw away a large number of Scorpion Zerg and arrived at the level 5 mother nest.
Flandre made great efforts in this matter and got more than half of the credit.
It was she who mobilized the source of blessings in the "small world", enhanced the computing power, and shared the computing power with Link.
Link can perform a series of cool operations that are almost impossible to copy in the blink of an eye.
Sandora and three of her friends captured this scene through the tower spirit, and deliberately moved to the real-time image on the largest screen to watch Link's incredible operation.
A shuttle actually penetrated the interception of thousands of Scorpion Zerg!
How cool and awesome this is!
This visual effect is simply amazing.
Brother Flathead didn't dare to look directly at Link for a moment, he was so shocked.
Link was not distracted, he concentrated on controlling the shuttle and continued to move forward at full speed.
Shadow Mantis has long been unable to attack the engine with peace of mind. The battle puppet sent by Link has already entangled it.
Before fighting against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.
How can we ignore hidden dangers when they are discovered?
What if, at the most critical moment, the Shadow Mantis breaks the engine's protective cover and destroys the shuttle's power system?
As the shuttle approaches the mother nest, progress becomes difficult.
The speed decreases uncontrollably.
This is the distortion force field that comes with the Level 5 Brood at work.
Anyway, the shuttle has been abandoned, how could Link feel distressed.
If there is not enough power to travel at full speed, then increase the load and squeeze out more power even if you damage all the power systems.
The frontal battlefield has almost come to a standstill at this time.
The clear-minded and flexible Zerg returned to the mother nest one after another, leaving only empty shells of Zerg puppets.
In order to save "ammunition", the "Yunni" only attacked and killed the Zerg puppets unless they crossed the red line, and ignored other motionless Zerg puppets.
That's how the weird standoff ended.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move. When the enemy moves, there will be a roar.
This is the current strategy of the "Yunni" against the enemy.
After a difficult journey, the shuttle controlled by Link finally broke through the twisted position before the large number of scorpion zerg came back for reinforcements, preparing to have a close encounter with the mother nest.
But before posting, the shuttle has to circle the nest.
The Mother's Nest, which had been hit by three Star Destroyer Cannons without damage, was obviously not something that could be damaged by the self-destruction of a shuttle.
After spending so much effort and overcoming many obstacles to reach the nest, could it be just to set off a firework?
Link is not that poetic, not that literary.
From the beginning, he wanted to get close to the nest to investigate the situation.
The shuttle is like a hard-working honey, constantly spinning around the flower of the mother's nest, looking for delicious and delicious lower mouth parts.
With this turn, there is a harvest.
There was only the front half of the mother's nest, and the back half went somewhere unknown.
Through the real-time images transmitted back by the shuttle, it can be clearly seen that there is no extensive damage to the surface of the mother nest.
This means that the brood was actively separated, rather than being destroyed in half.
No wonder Link always felt something was wrong with the Brood.
It turned out to be only half of it, not fully functional and unable to cope.
It's not that the mother nest doesn't want to deal with the fierce attack of the "Yunni".
So, the question is, where did the other half of the nest go?
Shandora suddenly turned her head and looked at the mission world through the porthole with faint eyes.
She finally figured out why a level 3 world could emit a light of annihilation.
She wanted to understand even more why her traces were exposed as soon as she landed, four team members were quietly cursed, and seven other team members were silently parasitized.
The other half of the Brood is in the mission world!
What caused all this was the other half of the brood and the remnants of the direct line of the Zerg royal family that controlled the brood.
"Main gun, full power, five-round rapid fire, target: the place in the mission world where the other half of the brood is most likely to exist."
Sandra ordered decisively.
Ta Ling controlled the "Yun Ni" to execute the order. First, he fully reconnoitred the mission world and calculated the orientation. Then he fired five Star Destroyer Cannons with the fully charged main gun towards the calculated coordinates and orientation.
Half of the broods in space can carry three Star Destroyer Cannons. There is no reason why the other half of the broods in the mission world cannot withstand it.
After five rounds of Star Destroyer Cannons, a huge crater the size of the West Lake appeared in the mission world.
The other half of the level 5 brood emerged, unscathed.
Not far from it, there was a level 3 mother nest with one corner shattered by a Star Destroyer Cannon.
Through surveillance, it can be clearly seen that there are very few Zerg in the level 3 mother nest, but all of them are evolved individuals that are much larger and stronger than ordinary arthropod Zerg.
Underneath the level 3 brood are ordinary arthropod Zerg species that have almost all their casualties.
The "Yunni" captured the target accurately, with one shot entering the soul, two shots rising into the sky, three shots flying into ashes, four shots sending you off with congratulations, and five shots celebrating.
"Okay!"
Sandra saw such fruitful results and couldn't help but stood up and shouted.
This joint attack with Link really poured out the pent-up anger in his heart.
Instantly refreshed.
It is no longer uncomfortable to hang up or down.
"They want to run."
Brother Flathead noticed that the Zerg puppets surrounding the "Yun Ni" seemed to have received an order and began to rush towards the star battleship crazily, launching a suicide attack in an attempt to attract the firepower here.
In the mission world, half of the level 5 brood and the level 3 brood have turned on the interstellar navigation mode and are trying to take off.
"Kill them."
Shandora was unyielding.
I plan to continue to expand the results while the light of annihilation of the level 5 brood is still cooling down.
Link started the shuttle's self-destruct program, and then poured cold water on it:
"We should be running away!"
Through the perspective of the shuttle, he saw a vague outline behind the level 5 mother nest.
Like a giant creature lurking patiently.
Choose the opportunity to bite people!
