Chapter 437: Dispersed
Do you have the aura of a queen?
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Su Xia was stunned at first, and subconsciously looked down at her clothes.
This body of his had no direct contact with the Zerg Queen. Only the ugly clone with wings had contact with the queen once and accepted the queen's recruitment.
How come this body has the aura of a queen?
Could it have been at the Coral City Midnight Tavern?
"It should be at that time..."
Su Xia recalled that during that period, Yi Yi said that the wine he mixed was often inexplicably reduced, and even the surveillance cameras could not find any abnormalities, and he didn't know who stole the wine.
Moreover, at that time, Su Xia had met the queen at the elevator entrance in the basement of Coral City. She was a tall woman with wheat-colored skin, long legs, well-proportioned body, and an outstanding figure.
Later, his ugly clone communicated with the octopus monster Haidar and learned that the reason they stayed in Coral City was to find an opportunity to investigate the experiments conducted on Zerg in the underground laboratory of Coral City.
"Why did the Zerg Queen leave her scent on me? To mark me?" Su Xia subconsciously smelled her sleeves, but could not smell anything .
This marking method should be very sophisticated, and only high-level soldiers or hive leaders and queens can find it.
Before this, those low-level Zerg soldiers did not show any abnormality towards Su Xia. They still treated Su Xia as prey and pounced on him one by one.
On the side, the bearded Sergei asked, "Masked friend, is there any problem?"
He was ready and was about to follow Su Xia in, but Su Xia's body suddenly paused and stopped in mid-air without giving any instructions.
Su Xia shook her head gently and said, "No problem, let's go in."
As he said this, he patted the head of little Peter beside him.
Then, he opened his psychic shield, and a faint blue light curtain appeared outside his body, covering both him and little Peter.
As long as the shield is not broken, little Peter's life will not be in any danger.
Seeing this, bearded Sergei also opened his psychic shield and released a psychic wave belonging to a third-level creature.
As this psychic energy wave appeared, the insects below became more manic in an instant, roaring together, their voices violent and hoarse, their eyes becoming even more ferocious, staring at Sergei.
“Squeak—squeak—”
Their hoarse voices contained undisguised greed and desire, as if they had seen some kind of tonic.
The desire for psychic energy is almost engraved in the genes of every Zerg creature.
If there were no higher-level creatures on the scene to command, these low-level insects would easily be lured into the trap because of this desire and be caught in one fell swoop.
In the past, when the Mechanic race went to war against the Zerg, they had used this method, using psychic matter as bait to attract scattered Zerg to gather.
"This is the Zerg..."
Su Xia glanced at the scene below. He did not show too strong psychic fluctuations, otherwise the insects below would become even crazier.
Then he waved his hand and led little Peter and Sergei to slowly descend together.
When they descended to about twenty meters, they were within the insects' attack range.
In the jungle below, the taller birch trees are more than ten meters high, with straight trunks and branches covered with a layer of crystal white snow.
“Squeak…”
The insects looked ferocious, with hideous fangs. They climbed up the tree trunk one by one, getting closer and closer to the three people.
The snow covering the trees fell down, revealing their grayish-white color.
One of the faster swift insects climbed to the top of a big tree, roared, leaped suddenly, turned into a black shadow, and pounced straight at Su Xia and the other two who had descended 20 meters with their sharp claws.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the hot bullet flew out and hit the insect's head directly, causing a burst of blood.
The one who fired the shot was little Peter. This skinny young man was an excellent shooter. Although he was nervous, his hands did not shake because of the nervousness, and his hand holding the gun was quite steady.
" call--"
Little Peter took a few deep breaths, shook his arms, his eyes became more determined, and he suppressed his inner tension and anxiety.
Next, more and more insects jumped up from the tree trunks and pounced on the three of them, like locusts, coming one after another, in endless numbers, and they could never be killed.
When we descended to ten meters, the ground below was already covered with a layer of insect corpses, and the smell of blood filled the jungle.
Some insects were frantically eating the corpses of their own kind, while others were trying to attack Su Xia and the other two.
When they descended to seven or eight meters, most of the insects no longer needed the help of tree trunks and could directly jump from the ground to get close to the three people.
"roar--!"
A gigantic skeleton worm roared toward the sky, the exoskeleton shell covering its body crackling, and it kicked its limbs hard, crossing a distance of seven or eight meters in a flash, and instantly came to the psychic shield of bearded Sergei and slammed heavily into his shield!
With a bang, Sergei's body shook. He snorted coldly and fired repeatedly. The bullets flew out like raindrops, constantly hitting the exoskeleton of the skeleton worm. Blood splattered everywhere, and bloody holes were made.
This bug is the best among the second-level creatures. If it is a one-on-one situation and both sides are unarmed, Sergei may not be its opponent.
After all, its reaction ability, speed, and strength are much stronger than Sergei, a third-level creature.
But, as a human being, Sergei does not rely on physical advantages.
"Get down!"
Sergei roared viciously, raised the heavy machine gun with his strong arms, and flames spewed out of the muzzle. He used the advantage of thermal weapons to completely suppress the insect.
"roar!"
The insect only had time to spit out a mouthful of smelly corrosive acid before it fell with a roar, its life force becoming weaker and weaker under the continuous barrage of bullets.
When it fell to the ground, the fire of life had been completely extinguished, and it became food for the other low-level Zerg creatures.
During this time, many more insects pounced on the three people.
Su Xia almost resisted more than 80% of the insect attacks. He controlled more than ten guns by himself and ruthlessly killed the insects that pounced on him, leaving only 20% of the area for little Peter and Sergei to feel a little involved.
Little Peter's face turned red, and his eyes also turned a little red, as if he was blinded by killing. The tension in his heart almost disappeared, and a different kind of courage was born in the bloody killing.
"A bug is nothing more than that!" Little Peter wiped his nose. "If little Maria were here, she would definitely admire my bravery!"
"Don't relax, little Peter, this is just outside the insect nest!" Bearded Sergei reminded in time.
As an elder, he needs to give appropriate instruction to the younger generations when necessary, such as now.
Of course he could see that most of the Zerg creatures were stopped by Su Xia alone, and the Zerg that he and Little Peter killed were almost all those that Su Xia deliberately let slip.
Sergei probably understood Susha's intention, perhaps wanting little Peter to develop courage and willpower through this killing.
But little Peter cannot indulge in this feeling, otherwise he will suffer a great loss next time he faces bugs.
"All the bugs in the nest should have run out, right?" Little Peter scratched his hair subconsciously. The bugs below were almost endless, like a sea of bugs.
He felt that the insects should have all come out and the nest might be empty.
Su Xia smiled and did not answer his question. She just said, "You will know when you go in and take a look."
He waved his hand, and the three of them sped up even faster, getting closer and closer to the insect nest crack on the ground.
The insects below were all going crazy, roaring and attacking frantically, using their fangs, sharp teeth, venom, and even the horns on their heads, attacking with their lives again and again.
In the minds of these low-level insects, the hive is a place that needs to be defended and hostile creatures must not be allowed to approach.
However, with Su Xia here, their obstruction was futile and could only delay the time for Su Xia to enter the insect nest.
Su Xia is now so powerful that a primary insect nest can no longer resist him.
At this moment, the panicked and unfamiliar voice appeared in Su Xia's mind again: "You...are you the Queen's messenger...Why are you a human..."
There was a hint of doubt in the fear.
Su Xia looked calm and did not answer, as if she did not hear it.
In fact, he didn't know how to answer because he didn't know how to communicate spiritually.
Before, when Su Xia was communicating with the giant whale at the bottom of the sea, the giant whale's voice would appear in Su Xia's mind, and Su Xia would speak directly so that the giant whale outside could hear it.
His voice will pass through the air medium inside the submarine, the metal medium of the outer shell, the sea water medium outside, etc., and finally be captured by the big whale.
"Can you...can you hear me..."
"I used to be the Queen's most loyal warrior, but... after that war, we failed, I was seriously injured, and fled here, hibernating for a long time..."
"I have not betrayed the Queen. I am still waiting for the Queen's call..."
“…”
The voice came from deep within the hive, introducing herself.
She is the queen of this hive and the core of the entire hive.
Perhaps she regarded Su Xia as the queen's messenger, and kept explaining her identity and loyalty, saying that she was still loyal to the queen and would never betray her.
As for the betrayal she mentioned, Su Xia knew something about it.
When Su Xia was chatting with the octopus monster Haidar before, she got some special news. For example, some leader creatures of advanced insect nests, which might be level five creatures or even stronger level six creatures, no longer obeyed the queen's call and wanted to become the new king.
It is the existence of these new kings that has caused the Zerg to be fragmented and they have not yet united.
"It's just a new insect nest. Even if you want to betray us, you don't have the ability to do so." Su Xia smiled calmly and brought the three of them to the entrance of the insect nest.
This crack is about three meters wide and more than twenty meters long, as if a giant had torn a hole in the ground with his bare hands.
Looking inside, it was pitch black below, with no light source in sight. Only angry and ferocious roars could be heard from below.
It was hard to tell how many insects there were. The roaring sounds overlapped each other like rolling waves, interweaving throughout the entire insect nest.
"Down there... shouldn't be too many bugs, right?" Hearing the rising and falling sounds, little Peter became a little uncertain.
"Let's take a look."
Su Xia smiled, took out a signal gun, loaded it with flares, then aimed at the crack below and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The flare fell into the crack, leaving a puff of white smoke at its tail. About two seconds later, it lit up in the crack, like a small dark red sun, illuminating the crack space where it was.
At this moment, all three of them saw the scene deep in the rift.
Su Xia was well prepared and was no longer surprised.
But the bearded Sergei took a deep breath, looked at the scene, and said in shock: "There are still many of them. Even if we use up all the bullets, we can't kill them all!"
Below, in the crack, in the area illuminated by the dark red flares, the insects were so dense that it made one's scalp tingle. They were crowded together, layer upon layer, densely packed, all with their heads raised and roaring. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count them, like a sea of insects.
Roughly speaking, there are at least thousands of bugs in the illuminated area alone!
There are many more areas that are in darkness and cannot be seen clearly, but there are still many roaring sounds.
"Why are there so many?" Little Peter was stunned, his head buzzing. The dark red picture full of bugs was like hell, deeply imprinted in his eyes.
Not to mention three people, even if there were thirty, three hundred or even three thousand people, after going down, they would be surrounded and eaten clean by those overlapping insects, right?
Little Peter shuddered, and the courage he had just mustered seemed to be frozen. His face turned pale and he became nervous again.
The tension and anxiety this time were much stronger than before.
He subconsciously looked at Su Xia. At this time, only Su Xia's back could make him feel at ease, not even Sergei, because he knew Sergei's strength.
"Come on, let's go down!"
Su Xia looked relaxed and smiled at little Peter and Sergei.
After saying that, he waved his hand and slowly descended with the two of them, sinking little by little into the abyss of the sea of insects.
During this time, insects kept flying from the stone walls on both sides of the crack, roaring wildly, waving their claws, trying to attack the three people, but they were all repelled by Su Xia.
In the rift, darkness dominated everything. The deeper they went, the less light there was. The bone-deep coldness and death gradually surrounded the three people in the darkness.
“Bang!”
Su Xia turned on a few flashlights and threw some glow sticks down as temporary light sources.
This dark underground space is so large that there is almost no end in sight. From here to the depths there are sounds of insects roaring.
A disgusting stench of decay floated in the darkness, like a corpse that had been rotting for more than ten days. Just smelling it made people extremely uncomfortable.
It didn't take long before the three of them reached the bottom, only ten meters away from the surface.
"Shouldn't we... fly over there?" Little Peter swallowed, tightly grasping the weapon in his hand, his eyes reflecting the swarm of insects below that looked like an ocean.
He thought that Su Xia would continue to fly in the hive to avoid fighting with the sea of insects below, fly deep into the hive, kill the queen insect and the lord creatures, and then leave.
But now, looking at Su Xia, it seems that she is about to land on the ground?
If this continues, the psychic shield won't last long, right?
Little Peter was so nervous that his face turned pale. He kept taking deep breaths and even felt nauseous, as if his stomach was about to cramp.
"Masked friend, how about we…"
Bearded Sergei looked at Su Xia with confusion in his eyes. He also thought that Su Xia would fly directly to the depths of the insect nest.
"No need to fly over." Su Xia said with a smile: "Entering the insect nest is a rare experience. There is no need to be too anxious. Just look and think more."
"this……"
Little Peter scratched his slightly curly yellowish hair, opened his mouth, and his lips trembled slightly.
There are so many insects, tens of thousands of them. How can he not be anxious?
Su Xia did not explain, but just smiled and continued to sink with the two of them.
Under the anxious gaze of the two men, they were getting closer and closer to the ground. After just half a minute, they were less than three meters away.
“Roar—”
The surrounding insects were rushing towards them frantically, wave after wave, so dense that it made people tremble with fear. There was no end to the sea of insects in sight, and it seemed as if there were endless insects in the surrounding darkness.
Sergei gritted his teeth. The psychic shield on his body kept vibrating and could no longer hold on. He was ready to die here.
After all, he died in battle, so it’s not too unfair.
Little Peter's face became paler and paler, and even the hand holding the gun began to tremble.
At this moment, Su Xia suddenly said, "Let all your bugs scatter."
spread?
Sergei and little Peter were both stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Xia meant.
These bugs have gone crazy, as if they have lost their minds and only want to tear them into pieces. How can they disperse?
But, in the next moment...
As the two men looked on in disbelief, the insects around them actually began to retreat one after another.
Although the surrounding insects were still baring their teeth at them with ferocious eyes, they did not continue to rush forward, as if they had received some instructions.
"Actually...actually they dispersed..."
