Chapter 258: Chapter 232: The Insect King of Tianzhu Attacks! (8000)_5

"The Zerg army is coming!" Lei Yuanfeng ordered, "Float all the modules!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The weapon modules on the ground activated their engines, floating mid-air to launch their attack.

At this moment, intense winds rose in the valley, blowing in a dense cloud of poisonous fog.

The fog swept over the laser array modules, and all the modules were corroded in a very short time!

Most of the insects on the ground died, and many of the human-constructed automatic turrets had already failed.

"It’s the beast, the beast has appeared, requesting reinforcements!" The frontline commander reported urgently.

Their firepower was indeed insufficient to kill the beast.

The gigantic multi-legged insect appeared on the detector’s screen; its size had increased by a third compared to two months ago and its body length now exceeded three hundred meters!

Using some kind of magnetic field and other means, it controlled the poisonous fog around it, forming a protective barrier. Every missile and bomb that could hit it was already corroded clean when approaching the fog.

"This is our territory, don’t use nuclear bombs unless absolutely necessary. Use high-powered laser cannons and heavy electromagnetic guns first!"

At the defense line, massive armored vehicles began firing laser cannons and heavy electromagnetic guns.

The electromagnetic guns still couldn’t penetrate the fog, but the laser cannons poked through, scorching the body of the multi-legged insect.

"Szzz..." Countless pores appeared on the multi-legged insect’s body, each firing corrosive venom and poison gas.

It was like a moving bomb, with bullets being the venom and acid. A turret stood ahead of it, under such dense attacks, the turret was corroded full of scars and then collapsed with a bang!

The damn creature attacked while devouring the corpses of other Zerg, it kept on producing poisonous fog and acid while simultaneously healing its injuries!

"Increase the power!" At this moment, the fighter jet fleet and flying Mecha arrived, activating their onboard laser weapons.

Under the intense laser assault, the poisonous fog surrounding the multi-legged insect was immediately burned clean, and most of its body was reduced to black ash!

Then, the electromagnetic guns locked onto its body, smashing it into sludge.

"This thing doesn’t have that freakish atomic ray ability!" The group rejoiced for less than ten minutes before discovering the multi-legged insect making a comeback.

The body that had just been scorched was fully regenerated, with them even seeing the newly grown flesh buds wriggling!

"No nuclear giant beast is simple, its strongest ability must be regeneration! Unless we completely destroy its regenerative cells simultaneously, it can continuously recover and fight by feeding on the corpses of the swarm!" The soldiers were already feeling a headache.

Under such conditions, their defensive power would be continuously weakened.

"Keep attacking, reinforcements are arriving soon!"

The defensive battle was already furious.

"This bug is really disgusting!" The war news broadcast showed the scene, causing the public to furrow their brows.

"Yeah, I thought we had blown it to bits, but it recovered so quickly!"

"At this rate, isn’t it impossible to kill it? Can it regenerate continuously?"

"This damn thing’s poisonous fog and acid have already ravaged the front of the defense line!"

"Should we use a hydrogen bomb?"

"Is a hydrogen bomb definitely going to kill it?"

...

Inside the defense line, a small town. This place is over a hundred kilometers away from the frontline, with relatively sparse defensive forces.

It’s already deep into the night, and a group of patrolling soldiers in the camp were changing shifts.

"Mom, everything’s good here!" Before changing shifts, a young soldier was reassuring his family. Every day, they had brief periods to communicate with their families.

His name is Meng Xiaokang, nineteen this year, one of the Xuanwu Army’s marines. He enlisted just a year ago and was transferred here a month ago for defense duty.

"Be very careful, I saw the news, those bugs are really brutal!" Meng Xiaokang’s mother tirelessly reminded him.

"Got it, I’m about to change guard!" Meng Xiaokang said, hanging up the phone.

"Bring out both the Mecha and patrol vehicles!" Wei Yuan shouted, "Start patrolling!"

The squad members prepared one by one and headed out to patrol the designated route.

On the road, the team members discussed the battle while patrolling.

"It’s a pity I couldn’t go to the frontline, otherwise I could kill a few bugs too!" Meng Xiaokang lamented, "During the draw for transferring people to the front line, I got screened out!"

"Insects are more terrifying than you think!" Captain Wei Yuan warned, "They can devour people whole; if you really saw them, you might be scared to death!"

When Meng Xiaokang first arrived, he was quite timid and made a scene even during practical training.

"I wouldn’t be! I’ve seen plenty now!" Meng Xiaokang retorted, "If I encounter insects this time, I’ll go all out with an electromagnetic gun!"

"Stop bragging! Who was it last time that was so scared they couldn’t hold their gun straight?" the teammates laughed.

"Totally different now, that was before, I’ve seen a lot now!" Zhao Xiaokang said, "Next time I see an insect, I dare to charge first!"

"You..." Wei Yuan was about to tease further when his voice and footsteps suddenly halted.

The group instantly became vigilant, observing everywhere.

"The sensor is alarming, there’s something lurking nearby!" Wei Yuan said, "Immediate reconnaissance!"

"Yes!" The team members searched all around but found no trace of the Zerg.

On the ground, in the sky, there was nothing.

But the vibrations were increasingly intense. Just then, Meng Xiaokang suddenly said, "It’s underground, there’s movement underground!"

"Underground!" Everyone was shocked. The infrared sensors were blocked by soil, so they couldn’t see the situation below.

With such violent vibrations, there must be a substantial number of Zerg underground.
