Chapter 197 Gene Warriors vs. Warrior Insect Hunters, Countdown

The warrior insect hunters who took the lead in attacking were only at the early second stage, but their number reached an astonishing one hundred and eighty, far exceeding the second stage regiment members of the human side.

The counterattack lineup consisting of more than seventy second-level gene warriors and fifty second-level ordinary members instantly engaged in close combat with the first batch of warrior insect hunters.

Among them, the genetic warrior who has mastered the ability to fly, wearing armor and holding a sword, can easily suppress a warrior hunting insect, and can deal with it calmly even if it is one against two.

Ordinary second-level members can only rely on the powerful defense of their tiger armor to hold their own against warrior hunter insects of the same level. This also means that they have to retreat to the second line and cooperate with the chariots to concentrate their fire on and annihilate the dozens of warrior hunter insects that have escaped the net.

This protected the dozen or so tanks in the front row of the fleet and helped them escape the insect swarms and the pursuit of the warrior insect hunters.

As for direct confrontations on the front battlefield, they will be entirely handled by genetic warriors.

For a moment, astonishing momentum and pressure erupted in the hundred-meter interval between the insect swarm and the fleet, immediately scaring the black-backed insects in the front row of the insect swarm, so much that they knelt down and retreated, not daring to take another step forward.

The battle between the genetic warriors and the warrior hunters is not only fierce close combat, but also full of blood and madness.

The warrior hunter insects themselves are unstable factors in the insect swarm, full of tyranny and split consciousness. After the battle, the Queen Mother of Haicheng directly gave up controlling them to reduce the consumption of her own mental energy.

So as to concentrate on controlling the insect swarm army and dozens of mid-to-late stage second-level warrior hunting insects.

The warrior hunting insect is an important trump card that it has carefully cultivated.

But for the Zerg, it is also a double-edged sword.

When invading Red Star, the Red Beetles created by the fusion of the Red Clan were too useful in the war, which gave rise to a large number of second-order and even third-order King Red Worms. As a result, in the later period, because it consumed too much mental effort to control them, a Red Worm rebellion was triggered, disrupting the Zerg's final decisive battle plan. The resulting chain reaction even let the Red King escape.

The warrior hunting insects bred by humans today also require the Queen Mother to treat them with caution because they consume extremely high mental energy to control.

In particular, they also have a certain ability to think.

The stronger the warrior insect hunter, the smarter it is.

Therefore, even though the cost of their cultivation was only one-third of that of the second-order tiger-spine worms, the Queen Mother of Haicheng did not fuse and hatch them in large numbers.

At this moment on the battlefield, the out-of-control warrior hunting insects fell into a bloodthirsty and violent state. Because of the double torture of mind and body brought by the forced fusion of genes, they were naturally full of strong desire for destruction.

Although this can also make them stronger, on the battlefield, you can't crush others just by fighting and killing. When the gap in strength is not big, combat wisdom and mutual cooperation are the key to victory.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng would rather give up the direct implantation that would greatly enhance the strength of the genetic warriors in exchange for the stability of their mental consciousness.

As long as you still have some sanity, you can accept becoming stronger slowly and gradually.

A madman does not bring more benefits, but instead becomes a time bomb in the team.

For example, the warrior hunter insects are gradually getting out of control. While they are fighting a bloody battle with the gene warriors, many of them are even randomly killing the black-backed insects behind them, staging a scene of severely attacking their teammates.

Without coordination and offensive rhythm, they were easily suppressed by groups of four or five genetic warriors.

One hundred and eighty second-stage early-stage warrior hunting insects faced off against seventy-two genetic warriors. The latter managed to hold their ground by relying on mutual cooperation and the timely command of the captain.

Two of the team leaders who had reached the late stage of the second stage played the role of breaking the deadlock in the stalemate.

With its physical attributes of over a thousand points, it can instantly burst out more than a hundred tons of force. It is more useful than the lv19 shotgun to deal with the early second-stage warrior hunter insects.

Just punch them one by one, and each punch hits the head.

Combined with their speed of movement which is close to the speed of sound, they can shuttle back and forth on the battlefield as if they were in an empty space.

After the balance between the two sides was broken, the early second-order genetic warriors also swung their heavy swords and reaped the lives of the warrior hunting insects.

Taking this opportunity, the fleet that had retreated to the rear and gained some distance regrouped and poured fire on the swarm of tiger-spine insects behind the genetic warriors.

The black-backed worms would be frightened and stop moving by the battle between the second-order life forms, but the tiger-backed worms would not.

Under the control and command of the Queen Mother, they went to support the warrior insect hunters on the front line.

But under the fire suppression of tanks and dreadnoughts, in a distance of just one kilometer, every few dozen meters of advance would cost several lives killed or seriously injured.

Especially the super firepower of the dreadnought. The power of the simultaneous firing of the ten battleship heavy guns is enough to annihilate any Zerg below the middle stage of the second stage.

Using the time gained by the fleet, the Gene Corps successfully wiped out most of the second-stage early warrior hunters after paying the price of several deaths and more than a dozen serious injuries.

This battle with a number ratio of nearly one to three ended with the Gene Corps winning a resounding victory with fewer troops!
But before they could rejoice for long, they saw a more intense battle suddenly broke out in the insect army ahead!
More than a dozen black-backed insects were blown away by the shock wave of the battle. The fierce collision even raised a large amount of dust. In addition to the afterimages left by the battle, one could see real sword waves and sword energy in the insect tide.

The two leaders of the late second-stage perfect battle group who were in the lead immediately thought of the second strongest person in the team, who was also the birthplace of their group of genetic warriors, Shen Jie, who had reached the peak of the second stage!

After he led thirty members of the aerospace group to the battlefield, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

The fierce battle that broke out deep in the Zerg tide at this moment must be his fight with the more powerful Zerg.

The two captains looked at each other and decided to go to support. They shouted to the team members behind them:

"The wounded, take away the seriously injured and the dead. The rest of the members, continue to charge with us and kill all these bugs!"

After saying that, he took the lead and charged into the insect swarm.

The team members behind him soon followed, and a total of forty members were in good condition.

The remaining twenty or so injured carried the bodies of their dead teammates on their backs, or helped up the seriously injured teammates, and quickly returned to the fleet.

The rear of the fleet is responsible for the twenty chariots in the later stage, including a medical rescue vehicle, which is guarded outside by a second-level ordinary battle group to prevent the warrior hunters from attacking the fleet.

At this moment, the seriously injured genetic warriors were sent to the medical table in the chariot. In addition to helping them stop the bleeding in time, they also had to be injected with a large amount of organic nutrient solution to speed up the body's repair.

The second-level awakeners themselves have extremely strong self-healing abilities, especially after undergoing gene fusion modification. Their self-healing speed is even higher, as long as they don't suffer direct brain damage or dangerous and fatal injuries such as decapitation.

Even if the heart is damaged and stops beating, it can be saved.

Therefore, in this battle with a huge disparity in numbers, only a few unlucky ones were chopped on the neck and head by the warrior insect hunters. The huge impact force caused instant comminuted damage to the skull and spine.

At last count, three members were killed in the battle.

As for the remaining dozen or so seriously injured members, as long as they were still breathing, they were promptly rescued from the battlefield by their teammates. They were treated in the tank that served as a medical rescue cabin and were temporarily out of danger.

The lightly injured members who had left the front line together drank the organic nutrient solution in big gulps and then returned to the battlefield.

Although they were slightly injured, they still had strong strength. Especially after killing the warrior hunting insects and plundering and accumulating their life energy, and completing their own evolution and upgrade, all their attributes achieved new breakthroughs.

This is also why the members of the Gene Corps threw themselves into the battle so desperately.

Because this can bring the most direct benefits.

The more you kill, the stronger you become, and the stronger you become, the more you can kill.

This is even more true for the warrior insect hunter.

At this moment, in the insect tide, under the leadership of the leader of the second-level gene regiment, the remaining forty members rushed in.

But they soon discovered that the remaining warrior hunters hiding in the insect tide were left with only corpses, scattered messily among the insect tide, with their limbs separated.

Although these warrior hunting insects were dead, the remaining body parts were still warm. Judging from the aura emanating from the insect corpses, they were at least in the middle stage of the second stage.

It seems that the more powerful second-stage mid-stage warrior hunter insect was left behind by the queen in the insect tide as a backup.

Unfortunately, before they could play any role, they were slaughtered by Captain Shen Jie and died with hatred in their hearts.

No wonder in the first battle between the Gene Warriors and the Warrior Hunter Bugs, there were no mid-to-late stage 2 Warrior Hunter Bugs coming to support.

Otherwise, the two late-stage perfect second-order captains would not have been able to play such an important role in breaking the situation and reversing the originally slightly disadvantaged gene regiment. Just as everyone was looking at the broken bodies of the hunting insects and feeling a little overwhelmed, the black-spine insects that retreated nearby suddenly dispersed and ran to the left and right wings.

Then, in front of him appeared the figure of Shen Jie, who was fighting with several warrior hunting insects, and a swarm of second-level tiger-spine insects numbering four or five hundred.

There were so many tiger-backed worms, each of which was 20 to 30 meters in size. Many of them were in the late second stage, and their size was comparable to a small mountain. They were connected together in a black mass and were crushing towards the front battlefield.

Obviously, this was the final tactic of the Queen Mother of Haicheng, and she was ready to go all out to decide the outcome.

Under its control, tens of thousands of black-backed worms began to rush to the left and right, trying to get around and surround the entire human fleet for the second time.

Chen Yanyan, who is now in charge of the dreadnought, has to face a difficult decision.

Should he choose to trust the strength of the Gene Corps and stay to deal with the encirclement of the insect swarm, or should he first break through the net formed by the black-spine insects and use his mobility to conduct guerrilla warfare on the periphery.

The former will fight alongside the Gene Corps, while the latter means using the Gene Corps as bait to attract the Zerg's offensive firepower.

The situation and circumstances on the battlefield change rapidly, and the commander has no time to hesitate for a moment.

We are interdependent and must stay!
Chen Yanyan made a decision immediately and controlled the chariots to disperse to both sides, forming an arrow pointing left and right to block the swarm of black-backed insects that were surrounding them.

At the same time, relying on the momentum and deterrence of the second-order regiment members, they suppressed the offensive pace of the black-spine insect swarm.

With the cooperation of both sides, the siege was temporarily eased.

At the forefront of this arrow formation, the genetic warriors had collided head-on with the oncoming second-order tiger-spine worms, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce fight.

Even the ten guns of the dreadnought could not completely stop the tiger-spine worms' charge. After the black-spine worms flanked the fleet from both wings and dispersed the firepower of the fleet, the tiger-spine worms were able to reach the battlefield smoothly.

The second-level gene regiment, which originally wanted to continue fighting with the warrior hunter bugs, began to fight with the tiger-spine bugs.

Many of them picked up the sharp blades in the hands of the warrior hunters on the ground. These long swords were made of the material of the tiger-spine worm's giant jaws. They had extremely high blade strength. With the support of dozens of tons of power from the genetic warriors, they could easily block the attack of the tiger-spine worm's giant jaws, while looking for opportunities to break through the armor on their bodies.

Although the tiger spine worm is powerful and has an advantage in size, its agility is obviously far inferior to that of the genetic warriors.

Even an ordinary second-level awakener can use the advantage of his small size and agility to dodge the attack of the tiger-backed worm's giant jaws, and then use effective weapons to defeat the opponent.

Therefore, to the genetic warriors, these second-order tiger-spine worms with outdated combat systems are not worth mentioning at all.

The threat it can bring is far less than that of the warrior insect hunter.

So forty genetic warriors, armed with sharp blades, weaved through the swarm of second-order tiger-spine worms, reaping their lives while successfully curbing the advance of the tiger-spine worm attack fleet.

At the same time, two captains of the genetic regiments chose to join this decisive battle, the most intense battle.

It was Captain Shen Jie, fighting against several late-stage second-order warrior insect hunters.

As early as when the two sides came into close combat, Shen Jie keenly discovered the second-stage late-stage warrior insect hunters still hiding in the insect tide.

The two sides only looked at each other, and then burst out with a strong desire to fight, and then started fighting directly.

But it is obvious that the warrior hunter insect in the late second stage has higher combat wisdom and rationality. At the same time, under the control of the Zerg Queen, it did not take the initiative to fight Shen Jie.

Instead, he cautiously sent out the remaining twenty or so second-level mid-stage warrior hunting insects to test Shen Jie's background and strength.

However, this was exactly what Shen Jie wanted. After all, if this group of powerful warrior insect hunters were allowed to join the fight between the second-level members of both sides, it would definitely cause greater casualties to the genetic regiment.

Even if the second-level gene regiment wins the final victory, it will be a tragic victory with more than half of its soldiers sacrificed!

So Shen Jie did not hesitate at all. After activating the Winged Tiger Berserker Form, he killed a second-stage mid-stage warrior hunter insect that rushed forward with one sword, and then immediately activated the killing intent.

With the blessing of the power of killing, he became braver and braver as he fought more and more, and became stronger and stronger as he killed more and more.

He killed more than twenty warrior hunting insects in a row, but he did not show any sign of fatigue. The aura emanating from his body was not weakened at all, but became more and more passionate, with a tremendous momentum.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of Haicheng also realized that something was wrong.

After encountering an attack from human genetic warriors, it chose the safest way to fight, focusing its firepower on killing the strongest in the opposing lineup, and then using the gap in the highest combat power to launch a dimensionality reduction attack.

As long as all the second-late stage awakeners on the opposite side are killed, the second-late stage warrior hunters among the Zerg will be able to gain a crushing advantage.

Like dominoes, victory is passed down to the next level.

However, the Queen Mother of Haicheng had made all kinds of plans, but she did not expect that this young man with an unprepossessing appearance would be so brave.

When Shen Jie killed all the second-stage mid-stage warrior hunter insects in just a few minutes and turned his attention to the few remaining second-stage late-stage hunter insects in the depths of the insect tide...

After seeing Shen Jie's current state through the eyes of the warrior hunter insect, the Queen Mother of Haicheng finally reacted belatedly. The bloody light that flashed in the other's eyes, wasn't it the killing intent that only the king spine insect could master in her memory?
Considering the cause and effect, the Queen Mother of Haicheng knew clearly the other party's plan. She wanted to rely on her warriors to hunt insects to practice her artistic conception.

The state of killing is the strongest state of mind of the spinal worm race, and it is the strongest ability second only to the divine domain of the insect god. Under the same level, the queen of the insect race can only overdraw her life and summon the divine domain to come, so that she can use the endless sea of ​​insects in the will of the insect nest to suppress the spinal worm madman who is trapped in killing.

Because of this, spinal worms have the nickname of crazy worms among the entire Zerg, and their fourth-level spinal king was once called the Mad King and was unwelcome.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Zerg Queen will never unlock the genetic blockade of the tiger-spine worm and allow the third-level king-spine worm to join the competition for the Queen Mother.

Similarly, warrior insect hunters in the late stage of the second stage will not be allowed to reach the peak of the second stage to avoid backlash.

However, the current situation is that humans have taken the lead in inheriting and mastering the spiritual realm of spiny worms, and using it to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the Zerg's warrior hunting insects.

Even if the Queen Mother of Haicheng reacted and wanted to control the few remaining second-stage late-stage warrior hunters to escape the battlefield and avoid the killing mad human gene warriors...

But he couldn't escape from the life-threatening blade of Shen Jie who was chasing him, with a 200% bonus to his physical attributes!
With a physique three times that of a second-level Zerg, just a random strike could contain hundreds of tons of power.

In order to preserve her remaining high-end combat power, the Queen Mother of Haicheng had to mobilize the black-spine insect swarm to surround and contain the human fleet, and then concentrate her attention and enter the body of the second-stage late-stage warrior hunter insect...

Take control of their bodies yourself.

Relying on the bonus of its own spiritual attributes, it is able to withstand the continuous attacks of humans who have mastered the killing intent in terms of speed and reaction.

The Queen Mother knew very well that the killing intent could not be maintained for too long in a second-level life form.

Just wait until the other party releases it.

There may be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

In the interval between the supersonic battles that turned into afterimages, the Queen Mother controlled the warrior insect hunters and spoke human words.

There was spiritual power mixed in between his words, full of temptation:
"Powerful genetic warrior, there is no need for us to fight to the death."

"You, who have integrated the Zerg's genes, can also become a part of the Zerg. In the future, you will hold power and rule a region on your own."

"As long as you are willing to stop attacking and return to the Zerg, I will make a bloodline promise as the Zerg Queen and give you the opportunity to enter the third-order life form!"

…………

When the decisive battle at the border of Wucheng and Haicheng entered a fierce stage of life and death...

One hundred kilometers northwest, in the northern suburbs of Xicheng.

Get off at the first subway transfer station.

Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and met Long Yi's eyes.

The other party nodded slightly and confirmed:
"It's one kilometer away. We'll be there in ten minutes."
