How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 171: Ground combat body

   Another ocean appeared in the sky. Unlike the blue ocean on the ground, the red one was like a hardened soldering iron, and the scream of thunder and air friction was the sound of the sea.

   Standing on the ground at this time, you can see the ‘fire rain’ that is gradually falling. They are the ground combat bodies projected by the Fourth Fleet.

   broke through the stratosphere, surrounded by crimson flames, the cannonball-shaped streamlined object approached the ground at a very high speed, and there was a violent gust of wind.

   Boom——!

   The scream turned into a loud roar enough to shatter glass a few miles in a radius, accompanied by a terrifying shock wave that spread rapidly and a mushroom-shaped dust cloud being thrown up.

   The smoke and dust dissipated, leaving behind a huge pit no less than a tactical nuclear bomb, as well as the remains of rhizomes that were torn apart in this great collision between the world and the earth.

  The shape of the shell at the center of the giant crater gradually changed.

   The shell of the shell disintegrated into multiple parts, and a fluid substance that looked like a liquid but also like a colloid emerged from the inside, glowing with the light of metal, the same color as mercury.

   Eight metal bones stretched out from these fluid substances, similar to the collector’s limbs, supporting the entire body, and then all were completely wrapped by the fluid substances.

   Not long ago, a spider-like structure that resembled more creatures than machinery stood in the center of the giant pit.

  【Structural body assembly completed】

  【Start the mission】

  The ground combat body did not act like the collectors. Its eight metal feet were connected horizontally and twisted together to form a wheel, and the combat body served as the center of the wheel.

   With hundreds of times the speed of crushing the gatherers, the aliens’ ground combat bodies broke away from the huge pit they made when they landed, and marched towards the hive.

   A similar situation is happening in various areas of the planet's surface.

   Huogu is naturally impossible to allow the ground combat body to act arbitrarily, all the way, the ground combat body will soon encounter obstacles from its mission.

  With the combat body as the center, countless rhizomes broke out of the soil within a few kilometers of the combat body, and they launched sudden attacks on the combat body without stopping.

   Huogu doesn't have any idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. The alien technology completely crushes the earth civilization. It does not have the capital to underestimate the enemy. Even if it is just these ground combat entities of the death squad, Huogu has a spirit of twelve points.

   The number of rhizomes in response to the combat body is completely covered with vision-a forest of rhizomes.

   Facts have proved that Huogu’s caution is not wrong. After the technological explosion, the alien civilization and the ground combat body developed by Huogu have been very overestimated, but ultimately they are still underestimated.

   Countless rhizomes turned into terrifying giant pythons under the control of Huogu, preparing to strangle the ground combat entities trapped in the ‘rhizome forest’ all at once.

   However, what surprised Huogu was that the strangling operation organized by such a large group not only failed to destroy them, but could not even slow down the opponent's progress.

   These ground combat entities showed the effectiveness that Huogu dominated the collector named ‘Si’ when facing the enemy’s king squad.

   No, it is even better than that.

With the help of their rhizomes and their extremely high inertial speed, the combat body is like a small ball in a three-dimensional marble in a classic game. It ejects repeatedly in the midair of the rhizome jungle, and continues to walk at high speed without slowing down. , But there is a trend of improvement.

   And the general direction has always remained the same, and the distance from the hive as the target of destruction is shortening sharply.

   In just a few hours, more than a thousand beehives on the surface were destroyed.

   "This...should be considered Feng Shui turns?"

   Huo Gu muttered somewhat self-deprecatingly.

   The situation facing him now coincides with what happened in the last space war with aliens, which gave Huogu a strong sense of sight.

   And this time, Huogu is the one who was landed, which also fits the location of Alien Starport last time.

   Huogu didn't panic, not only that, but instead of paying attention to alien ground combat bodies, he turned his attention to the Fourth Fleet, which was still approaching Min.

   "Is this distance enough?"

  【No, it’s too far. 】

"is it?"

"I understand."

   Hearing this, Huo Gu turned his gaze to the surface battlefield again.

   Judging from the performance on the battlefield, the ground combat units of these aliens are far more powerful than the soldiers encountered in the refuge.

  The nanomachines that envelop the whole body of the combat body are like real biological tissues. The muscles can increase strength, and the joints can reduce friction, enhance cushioning resistance, and provide protection to a certain extent.

   Even if they destroy the metal bones inside them, it will only temporarily disable them. Nanomachines will repair the metal bones.

   There is only one way to completely destroy them, and that is to destroy the energy core of the combat body.

   However, this is very difficult. The aliens don't know what materials they use, and the strength of the energy core of the combat body. Even Huogu, who has built a giant sublight orbital gun, can't help but be amazed.

   There are also offensive capabilities, close combat has a plasma blade flame similar to the Bingwang team, long-range kinetic energy weapons that fire faster than the metal storm on the earth.

   With the cooperation of these weapons, even a cage with densely entangled rhizomes can't even slow down the speed of the combat body.

   However, does this mean that Huogu has no choice?

   No, the answer is no.

   "Awesome is great~lightnovelpub.net~ But if you are only at this level, it is not enough."

   whispering like this, the rhizomes under the control of Huogu's thoughts commotion, every inch of tissue, every cell, is following the will of their monarch to act.

   A large amount of nitroglycerin was produced. After reaching a sufficient amount, Hogu immediately detonated these chemical explosives without any hesitation. The rhizomes that were fighting with the ground combat body just exploded without warning.

Along with the explosion, there was a large amount of unidentified white liquid. None of the ground combat bodies in the'rhizome forest' were spared. Let them avoid these liquids, just like avoiding every drop of rain in the torrential rain. Maybe it is really possible. It can be done, but that is definitely not something that alien technology can do now.

  The white liquid covered the ground combat bodies and quickly condensed into a gel with extremely strong toughness.

   If there is only this step, these combat bodies cannot be trapped, and the high-temperature plasma gas blades are released by the combat bodies, and these combat bodies can only be trapped for a minute or two at most.

   Huo Gu is also very clear about this, and it wants exactly these two minutes.

   The rhizome whose tip can penetrate into the gap between molecules easily breaks through the defenses of the combat body, destroying its metal bones, including the heavily protected energy core, just as easily as piercing into a tofu block.

   Destroying all the combat bodies, Huogu fell into thinking. It was very clear that the aliens must have learned that all the combat units they had dispatched to the surface were destroyed at this time.

   "What are you going to do next?"

   "Should I continue the attack in other ways or..."

   Huogu's gaze was fixed on the mothership class of the Fourth Fleet, who had part-time ‘Star Harbor’ duties.
