Chapter 253: The Forest of Greed
"Sha...Sha..." In a fungus forest not far from Dawn Fortress, a team of nearly 100 insect cavalrymen were slowly advancing. On the backs of these insects, there were not only Dawn Fortress soldiers wearing black combat uniforms, but also some people wrapped in clothes and wearing gas masks. On the backs of each heavy armored insect, there were two or three people.
Unlike the calm cavalrymen, these people all seemed extremely uneasy. They kept looking around and glancing at the insects under them every few minutes.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gas mask on the back of a heavily armored beetle in the front asked the knight next to him worriedly: "Captain Li Hong, these bugs...will they really not eat us?"
"Haha, Lao Fan, don't worry. I've told you several times that these babies are our friends. Our President Lifeng's brother is a bug king. What are you afraid of? Besides, my bug brother is very smart. If you continue to be suspicious, he will be angry." The man named Li Hong said. He is the captain of the "River" team. This time, he came to take the original refugees in this small base close to the Dawn Fortress to the Dawn Fortress.
Originally, Lao Fan and his friends and family were all natives. Although they had a good impression of the Dawn Party, they were used to living their own lives and did not all agree to go to the Dawn Fortress at once. However, now, there are only about a hundred people left in the base of hundreds of people. The terrifying mycelium began to fall from the sky again. After dozens of people died, Lao Fan finally dared not stay in his small base.
Therefore, when the warriors of Dawn Fortress appeared in front of them, their first request was to leave here and enter Dawn Fortress.
However, since they had never had direct contact with the Zerg, they were still somewhat worried about riding on these heavily armored Zerg.
After hearing Li Hong's words for who knows how many times, Lao Fan immediately patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good..." It was unknown whether he said this to comfort himself or to tell others that he was not afraid.
The road in the mushroom forest was not easy to walk on. The low mushrooms just above the knees were not bad, but the huge strains that were over two meters tall and up to tens of meters tall were extremely dense. Basically, the distance between two large strains was only two or three meters. Fortunately, everyone in the group had Zergs as their means of transportation. Each of these Zergs was like a light tank, extremely tall, and had sharp legs. They were like a team of harvesters, opening up a wide road in the mushroom forest. Those heavy armored beetles were more like heavy tanks, leaving a mess wherever they passed.
Because of the fluorescent bacteria, the light in the entire fungus forest was sufficient, and at least they could see what was happening dozens of meters away, which was much better than complete darkness, so the speed of the crowd was relatively fast. And the Zerg obviously liked these bacteria very much, and they ate them while walking, and they seemed very excited all the time.
However, as the team leader, Li Hong always felt uncomfortable with those fluorescent strains, and had an indescribable worry. Under his order, the whole team avoided those fluorescent strains and did not touch them.
At this moment, a little girl wearing a gas mask on the back of a Zerg at the end of the team suddenly cheered in surprise: "How beautiful!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the little girl reaching out to a strain next to her that was only as thick as her arm and about three meters tall. Although the stem of this strain was grayish white, the cap was shining with colorful light, like a shining gem.
"No!" Li Hong yelled, trying to stop the little girl.
But it was too late, the girl's hand touched the stem of the strain!
The next second, nothing happened... Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and were about to move on. Suddenly, the surrounding bacterial strains began to twist wildly like snakes. The fungus, which was originally only knee-high, grew wildly in an instant, and in a few seconds it was more than two meters high, wrapping around everyone!
At the same time, some tall bacteria around them also stretched out their caps in an instant, like a person stretching his neck, and stretched out their caps towards the crowd. And on those caps, huge cracks had already appeared, revealing rows of sharp teeth inside!
A nearby fungus forest suddenly seemed to come alive and tried to devour the team as it moved forward!
"Ah——" A scream was heard, and a primitive man at the edge of the team was bitten on the thigh by a strain and was directly dragged into the air! People could even see that the place where the man was bitten was melting rapidly, as if it was melted by strong acid!
"Go to hell!" A red flame flashed, Li Hong roared, kicked the strain in half, saved the bitten person, and fell to the ground, "Everyone, combat mode! Full speed ahead, get out of here!"
"Boom boom boom!" Muffled sounds were heard, and flames or bursts of . The muscles of the limbs of several warriors squirmed and turned into huge limbs, showing powerful strength, and tore a crazy strain into pieces in just a few moves.
Suddenly, the sound of intensive fighting could be heard in the originally silent fungus forest. The original people who were originally a little wary of mutants only then realized how powerful the mutants' fighting power was!
After a long period of fighting and the evolution of the blood eggs of the hive, the average combat power of these mutant warriors is around level three, and Li Hong has even reached level four. In addition, the Zerg's legs are extremely hard and sharp, and they can also spit strong acid, so their combat power is also very strong.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the mutant warriors had the upper hand. But what gradually frightened them was that the entire fungus forest seemed to be one, and no matter where they fled, the surrounding giant strains would attack them crazily! Moreover, many strains that had been cut off or even burned grew again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Woo... Woo... Save me... Save me..." A few minutes later, the primitive man who had just been bitten suddenly groaned, and then tiny sprouts emerged from his mouth and nose, followed by his eyeballs... and ears... Finally, with a "bang", his lower abdomen exploded instantly, bringing out a ball of spore dust, and he himself had become a huge bacterial strain!
Obviously, when he was injured just now, spores had already entered his body through his blood!
What’s even more frightening is that the giant strain that had just appeared immediately began to attack the humans around it, and it seemed to be even more crazy!
"ah--"
"Asshole! Don't—"
“Help! Help!”
"I will perish together with you!"
Next, there were continuous cases of original human refugees being devoured, and even a few weaker mutant soldiers were torn into pieces by dozens of strains!
"Marco, Tian Fang, take your team to Dawn Fortress to report the news! Be sure to tell the Führer everything that happened here!" Li Hong split a bacterial strain as thick as a bucket with one palm and roared frantically to the side.
"But, Captain..." The female warrior named Tian Fang couldn't help but hesitate.
"This is an order! Do you want to see unknown losses in our Dawn SS? Tell the Führer what happened here! Go!" Li Hong roared and smashed another strain , "Take all the children with you!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Marco and Tian Fang no longer hesitated and immediately gathered the eight children in the team and put them on the soldier bugs ridden by their group, "Let's go!"
The soldier bugs under them immediately spread their huge wings and flew into the air, leading the entire group of ten people towards the direction of the Dawn Fortress. The soldiers in this group were all air cavalry, and at this time they were the only ones who could escape from this battlefield.
Just as they flew to a height of more than ten meters, there was a burst of explosions from the strains on the ground, and then more than a dozen balls were ejected from the top of the strains and exploded around the air cavalry. The exploding balls splashed out streams of mucus, which instantly stuck to the two flying insects and fell from the air.
Just when these strains were about to spray out the second wave of balls, Li Hong shouted loudly, waved his arms, and dozens of flames left his arms and hit the strains, immediately knocking back the balls that were about to be fired.
“Go!”
The air cavalry in the sky gazed downward, then immediately rose high into the sky, leaving the area of fierce fighting, and headed towards the direction of the Dawn Fortress with a silent solemnity!
