Chapter 257: Chapter 232: The Insect King of Tianzhu Attacks! (8000)_4

"Missiles, launch!" Qin Peng commanded, and thousands of missiles simultaneously launched, falling into the valley, killing a massive number of low-level Zerg.

The beetles, due to their strong defenses, were not seriously damaged.

"Prepare the electromagnetic guns!" The defense forces had long set up the electromagnetic guns, "Fire!"

The terrifying kinetic energy of the electromagnetic guns smashed into the swarms, turning the vanguard black beetles into pulp!

"Keep charging! Team Two, Team Three, Team Four, charge together!" Jia Ba was commanding.

In addition to the valley, swarms emerged in several other areas, attacking the defensive line.

"Assist in defense, assist in defense!" Lei Yuanfeng commanded the troops to defend, "Hold these four gates and be on the alert; other swarms might be ambushing!"

In another river mouth area, the Zerg were moving upstream along the river.

"Prepare the arc arrays!" Arc Mecha modules plunged into the water, forming high-voltage grids; any Zerg that approached were electrocuted!

In a mountainous area, a large swarm of flying Zerg crossed the mountains, overshadowing the sky, emitting various ultrasound and infrasound attacks, attempting to breach the defensive line from above.

Flight mecha and fighter squads were dispatched, with lasers and electromagnetic guns shooting in the air, coupled with missile force bombardments, they forcefully blocked the aerial swarms.

Jia Ba’s first charge was halted on all fronts.

In a hidden cave, Jia Ba reported to the multi-legged giant insect: "My lord, these humans are now the most powerful military force on Blue Star. Our regular swarms cannot breach their defenses."

The multi-legged giant insect lay in the cave, communicating with it via brainwaves: "Continue charging, draw all their forces over here."

"Yes!" Jia Ba commanded again, directing the swarms to pass through valleys, river mouths, or mountains, then scatter widely, dispersing human defensive firepower.

This way, a small number of Zerg could break through the defense lines, forcing human troops to dispatch large numbers of drone mechs and patrol units for clearance.

...

At this time, in the Ganges River basin, the Hunting Tiger Operation team was searching at various suspicious points.

The Tyrannosaurus Battle Car raced across the plains, its detectors hunting for clues.

"Where exactly is the insect nest? I’ve already checked three points, and there’s nothing!" In the team’s communication channel, Qiu Hong inquired, "Have you found anything?"

"I found a small insect nest here, but it can’t even be considered a nest, just a Zerg gathering point; we blew it up with missiles!" Feng Xiaolong said.

"Our team hasn’t found the nest either!" Jie Lang said, "I share the commander’s thoughts; the insect nest must be underground or in the mountains!"

"The Zerg need energy to cultivate their species, so regions with frequent geological activity are more likely." Qiu Hong said, "The front line has already engaged; we must hurry. Let the team use the Meteor Armor directly!"

"Alright, let’s do that!" They instructed immediately.

"I always said to use the Meteor Armor! The battle car has AI mode anyway; it can explore by itself!" Somewhere, Huang Sheng had already donned the Meteor Armor, becoming a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.

"Huang Sheng, where are you headed?" Jie Lang asked, "Your direction’s off!"

"I’m going to investigate the human refugee camp!" Huang Sheng said, "In other dense areas, let the battle car do the searching."

"Investigating human refugee camps?" Jie Lang wondered, "We’re supposed to be looking for the insect nest!"

"Of course, it’s about the insect nest!" Huang Sheng said, "These people living in the area, having survived, must have people that know some clues!"

"Right, we should indeed send someone to inquire at the refugee camps." Qiu Hong stated.

"Then let’s have each team send a few people to check these camps!" Feng Xiaolong agreed.

...

The frontline battle had already lasted for seven hours, and during these hours, humans and the Zerg were tugging back and forth at the defense line.

The swarm was still unable to breach the defense line by even a step!

In the Xuanwu Conference Hall, He Hongwei said, "These bugs are peculiar!"

"They are repeatedly probing us. Their charges are intermittent, as if testing our troop deployments!"

"The Nuclear Giant Beast hasn’t emerged!" Song Jinhong said, "It must know that even if these swarms double in number, without it, the swarms cannot breach our defenses!"

"There must be something unusual!" He Xingzhou stated, "It must be hiding somewhere, ready to launch a surprise attack on us!"

"The defense line is too long! Now the swarm employs multi-point attacks, dispersing our defense forces and preventing us from concentrating. If the Nuclear Giant Beast suddenly appears in a weak defense area, our defense line might be breached!" Qin Peng circled an area on the map.

"I’ll watch this area!" He Xingzhou said, "The plasma cannons and nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons have all been modularized and transported by flight mecha. Our mobile units can seal any gaps quickly!"

"Alright!" Qin Peng nodded, "Then we’ll focus on the front line; we can’t always be on the defensive. Find a position and cut through! If the Nuclear Giant Beast doesn’t appear, we’ll force it to!"

They immediately organized forces to advance in the direction of the swarm.

"My king, the humans are advancing on us! They’ve realized we’re stalling for time!" Jia Ba reported to the multi-legged giant insect immediately.

The multi-legged giant insect’s limbs extended from the cave’s depths, saying: "It’s time to deal the humans a fatal blow."

"Main forces, charge into Shen Zhou territory with me!"

In the cave, countless high-level Zerg surged out, racing towards the valley!

Here, the laser arrays continued their assault, but several bugs emerged from underground, and their sharp mandibles devoured a set of laser array modules in under ten seconds!
