Chapter 874: Counterattack
A close-up photo of an insect appeared in front of Zhang Tuohai.
This insect is not quite the same as those arthropods out there. Its body looks soft, weak and boneless. From a distance, it looks like a giant caterpillar with fine stripes on its skin.
But if you enlarge the picture, you can see clearly that those are not ripples, but distorted faces.
However, these faces are so distorted and most of them are incomplete that they are difficult to recognize.
If Xiao Ai hadn't circled a few relatively complete ones, Zhang Tuohai really wouldn't have been able to tell what it was for a while.
In addition to the strange patterns on its body, the "caterpillar" also had a large number of thin, almost transparent tubes emerging from its body, like the mouthparts of an insect, piercing into the void of the world.
" After testing, it was found that these bugs were injected with a special substance. The specific properties of the substance are still under analysis. However, based on the characteristics it exhibits, one of the main functions of this substance is to numb the world's will."
Xiao Ai said.
"Anesthetize the world will?" Zhang Tuohai was surprised. "Isn't the world will composed of energy bodies? How can it be anesthetized?"
"Although I don't quite understand it, this is the fact." Xiao Ai said helplessly, "After these insects injected their mouthparts into the void, the consciousness of the world's will became more and more scattered, and the mental power could not be concentrated. If attacked by multiple insects at the same time, it would fall into a coma."
"Then can we try to kill these bugs that are interfering with the will of the world first?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"I tried it several times, but it didn't work. Those special bugs were lying outside the world crystal wall. The outer worlds couldn't attack this position with their own strength. But if we send in a space fleet, not only will there be a large number of bugs protecting those bugs, but there will also be Zerg ambush teams in some places. The two task forces I sent out were ambushed by these Zerg."
Xiao Ai said.
"So difficult?" Zhang Tuohai frowned.
He originally thought that they were just some ordinary Zergs, but now it seems that these Zergs are clearly well prepared and have studied the tactics in depth. They have made targeted plans specifically based on his arrangements and even used the strategy of besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements.
All these show that these insects are intelligent and not just a group of brainless insects that only know how to kill.
"Have you ever heard of such a thing before?"
Zhang Tuohai turned and looked at Lilith, hoping that this living history could give him some inside information.
However, Lilith shook her head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard . At least in my era, or in the era that can be recorded in writing, I have never heard of it."
"It's not just this kind of bug. I don't remember any of the bugs I've seen so far. I've never heard of a similar swarm of bugs before. I'm sure these bugs aren't from the known world. They're most likely from an unknown world, or new species that were artificially bred."
"In other words, someone is guiding or manipulating these insect swarms behind the scenes to attack us?"
Zhang Tuohai's eyes narrowed slightly and he felt a little angry.
He has always been the one scheming and ambush others, but today he was actually ambush by someone. This is intolerable.
"Lilith, immediately expand the production scale of the Type 3 vehicles, and expand the manufacturing plants for the flying gasoline-powered saws and self-propelled machines, increase production capacity, and deploy them to all the worlds we can reach now, especially those that are being attacked by the Zerg. Try to stabilize the front line and make sure to stop the Zerg's offensive. At the same time, send a large number of Type 3 vehicles as a task force to attack those caterpillars."
Zhang Tuohai thought for a while and said.
The so-called Vehicle No. 3 was a vehicle that he and Lilith researched together when they were free. This vehicle was designed to match the space fleet formed by Liuli.
Because human crew members were abandoned and a fully intelligent control system (Spiritual Realm System Vehicle Control Version) was used, the hull gave up a lot of living and life-sustaining space. At the same time, it also eliminated those performance features that were reduced in order to take into account the strength and adaptability of the human body.
Therefore, these No. 3 vehicles look much smaller than Liuli's space battleships, but their firepower, protection and speed are several times stronger than before, and their combat performance has been greatly improved.
Moreover, since these ships are all controlled by the spiritual realm system, they have a higher degree of coordination than ordinary space battleships and can complete more complex coordination tactics.
Zhang Tuohai originally planned to use these vehicles to search for the missing sixth demigod Zhiye, but he didn't expect that they would be used here first.
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away."
Lilith nodded immediately and went down to make arrangements.
Soon, the huge machine workshop started to operate. Self-propelled machines moved tons of materials out of the warehouse and threw them into the feed port. Parts were manufactured one by one, and robotic arms assembled the parts together. Soon, hundreds of machines were manufactured.
These newly manufactured machines, in turn, began to produce thousands of self-propelled machines, flying gasoline saws and Type 3 vehicles.
The production lines in the weapons factories were also running at their limits. Various missiles, laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, and space cannons were produced and piled up like mountains.
After the first batch of supplies and support personnel were produced, Zhang Tuohai issued a general mobilization order through those virtual cores, ordering all indigenous people to make fighting the Zerg their top priority and to fully cooperate with the Kingdom of God's Heavenly Army (self-propelled machines) to encircle and wipe out the world-destroying demons (Zerg).
Along with the oracle, portals were opened one after another, and a large number of self-propelled machines walked out of the portals.
In addition to their own weapons, each of them also carries some strange accessories.
Seeing a large number of self-propelled machines emerging from the portal, the attacking Zerg immediately sent out a large number of swarms and rushed over, trying to destroy the reinforcements and even enter the world behind them through the portal.
Buzz——buzz——
A large number of insects rushed over densely, some flying in the sky, some running on the ground, in different shapes, but there was a bloodthirsty light in the eyes of all the insects.
Just when the Zerg thought that these reinforcements would be defeated in one blow like the natives, these self-propelled machines armed to the teeth taught them a good lesson.
Before they could get close, all kinds of intensive firepower came down like a storm.
