Chapter 540

Plague Lei Kesi is the name of the fern plant, meaning a plant like a plague, spreading to the planet and devouring the planet.

If the main force of the Zerg on the surface was the bug army led by the Brain Bug, then the main force in the dark was the Plague Lei Kesi. In fact, the Plague Lei Kesi was far more important than the Brain Bug; it bore the important responsibility of devouring planetary matter and nourishing the Zerg.

Moreover, in the local civilizations of the galaxy, apart from destructive weapons that could destroy planets, no conventional weapons could cause damage to the Plague Lei Kesi. They couldn't even find the Plague Lei Kesi.

But now, the Plague Lei Kesi had actually become like this. It was as if it had encountered something terrifying and was fleeing everywhere.

"No!"

The Plague Lei Kesi let out a wail, and the entire plant disappeared into the air. Except for the large hole on the ground that could prove it had once appeared, there was not a trace left.

"What on earth is going on?" Looking at the dark red mist permeating the air, the Brain Bug became terrified.

Unknown enemies are always the most terrifying; this sentence applies to any intelligent creature.

"This dark red mist is the nanomicroorganisms." Ye Nan's psychic power swept across the dark red mist and discovered that these mists were exactly the nanomicroorganisms the engineer used to attack the bugs. However, these nanomicroorganisms were more than ten times more numerous than when they first started.

"Sure enough, the situation I was most worried about has occurred." Looking at the dark red mist permeating the air, the engineer naturally knew what this mist was. It was precisely because he knew that he was worried and afraid.

In order to save ammunition, he gave these nanomicroorganisms a longer survival time, but this move had a fatal weakness: he could not control the nanomicroorganisms.

The nano-gun adopted a special compression method to fire one billion nanomicroorganisms. According to the biological nature, they would die in two to five seconds. This short time was simply not enough for the nanomicroorganisms to reproduce, so naturally, there were no worries or concerns.

But he poured the reagent into it, giving the nanomicroorganisms a longer time. Now the consequences had come: the nanomicroorganisms with sufficient time constantly gnawed on food, digested food, then reproduced, and finally died. A short life of a nanomicroorganism just passed like this.

But for the entire group, one nanomicroorganism died, and more nanomicroorganisms were born. The group of nanomicroorganisms grew, and it grew at an unimaginable speed.

If it weren't for the fact that the lifespan of the nanomicroorganisms was truly too short, I'm afraid the entire cave would have been shrouded by nanomicroorganisms by now. However, even so, Ye Nan still felt a trace of unease, because the nanomicroorganisms were already everywhere.

"Psychic stance!"

He silently wrapped himself with his psychic stance, blocking all nanomicroorganisms outside.

"What on earth are these things?" The Brain Bug gathered all the bugs back, as if only in this way would it feel a trace of peace of mind.

Facing the dark red mist that easily eliminated the Plague Lei Kesi, its heart was extremely timid. Every Brain Bug belonged to an extreme existence; they were bugs that were absolutely opposite to the swarm that was cruel and fearless of death.

Hiss! Hiss!

The hybrid Xenomorph roared at the dark red mist, its body quietly retreating a few steps. Just in its own perception, there was that fear that almost drowned everything.

The three parties that were originally confronting each other were broken due to the intrusion of the nanomicroorganism group. Following that was vigilance against the new intruders.

It was obvious that all three parties felt immense pressure, and the source of this pressure was the nanomicroorganisms. "We'll leave in a while." The engineer took two steps back, standing side by side with Ye Nan, and whispered at the same time, "These nanomicroorganisms have lost control. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid we'll die."

For Ye Nan, the engineer could be said to be extremely disgusted. However, he knew very well that Ye Nan could not die here, especially when the appearance of the nanomicroorganisms was his own mistake; he even more couldn't let him die.

"Okay." Ye Nan nodded, following the engineer, while vigilantly watching the front, and carefully retreating.

Suddenly, the dark red mist moved. It split into three, one flew toward the swarm of bugs, one flew toward the hybrid Xenomorph, and the other chased after them.

During the pursuit, Ye Nan clearly discovered that the dark red mist had become thinner, and the nanomicroorganisms inside were dying in large numbers.

"Because they lost their food, the speed of reproduction has decreased a lot. Although nanomicroorganisms are terrifying, their own flaws are too great." Ye Nan calculated in his heart and felt that there was no need for him to resist hard. Facing such a terrifying number of nanomicroorganisms, he simply didn't know if his psychic stance could hold up, so he planned to retreat and let the nanomicroorganisms go extinct on their own.

Suddenly, Ye Nan's speed increased a lot, and in the engineer's incredible gaze, he disappeared into the depths of the darkness.

"Fuck, running faster than a rabbit." The engineer cursed loudly and also accelerated his own pace of movement, but unfortunately, the Force protective suit on his body was too heavy, and he simply couldn't run far.

Soon, the red nanomicroorganisms pounced up. They hit the engineer's ground protection stance. In just a while, the engineer turned into a huge bug ball.

"Warning, energy is decreasing, 90%, 80%..."

The cold mechanical voice began to pronounce the countdown to the engineer's death.

"These damn nanomicroorganisms are devouring my energy. If I had known, I wouldn't have given them time to survive. Damn it."

"Energy has been completely consumed, please replenish as soon as possible..."

Before the cold mechanical voice finished speaking, the red mist that swarmed up surged over. What kind of protective suit made from the skin of high-level Zerg simply couldn't resist the nanomicroorganisms. In just a while, the engineer, along with the protective suit, disappeared from this world.

The hybrid Xenomorph's speed was very fast. It jumped backward repeatedly, widening the distance from the nanomicroorganisms. After turning a circle, it ran wildly toward the only exit in this place. But unfortunately, just as it ran there, it encountered the nanomicroorganisms that were gnawing on the engineer. These nanomicroorganisms hit the hybrid Xenomorph's body and were killed by the hundreds of thousands by the hybrid Xenomorph's power.

Roar!

The hybrid Xenomorph let out a painful roar. Following the roar, there was also a sizzling sound, because the blood from the gnawed skin flowed out, killing countless nanomicroorganisms. However, for every one killed, two were reproduced. Soon, the nanomicroorganisms gnawed the hybrid Xenomorph clean.

Seeing the fate of its two opponents, the fear in the Brain Bug's heart became even greater. It ordered a portion of the bugs to rush up to die, while ordering a portion of the bugs to start digging the ground.

It had seen that the only passage to leave had been blocked by the nanomicroorganisms. It was almost impossible to rush out, so it decided to dig a hole to leave, digging down along the hole where the Plague Lei Kesi came out. This would be easier.

The nanomicroorganisms that had gnawed the hybrid Xenomorph clean merged with the nanomicroorganisms behind. The originally hazy mist, like water droplets, rushed back into the cave one after another, merging with the remaining nanomicroorganisms, intending to enjoy a bug feast beautifully.

Seeing this scene, the Brain Bug was simply scared out of its wits. It said bitterly, "I hate microorganisms."

Under the command of the Brain Bug, a portion of the bugs separated from the swarm. The common point of these bugs was that their front claws were hard and sharp. As soon as these bugs came up, they kept digging at the ground. Soon, a large hole that could accommodate the Brain Bug's body was dug out.

Another portion of the bugs, under the order of the Brain Bug, rushed out violently and collided with the dark red mist. After rolling a few times, they disappeared from this world. At the same time, the number of nanomicroorganisms also increased several times.

"Damn nanomicroorganisms, eating so fast." The Brain Bug knew that it was no longer realistic to want to escape. It looked at the large hole that had just been dug, gritted its teeth, and jumped down directly.

"You guys, hurry up and bury me, and then go intercept the nanomicroorganisms."

Under the command of the Brain Bug, these bugs pushed with their claws, mixing mud and ore together, and pushed it onto the Brain Bug's body, burying the Brain Bug alive. Soon, a tomb of the Brain Bug was erected on the ground.

After this matter was done, they followed the Brain Bug's order and launched an attack on the dark red nanomicroorganism group. Without consciousness, they simply couldn't realize the terror of the nanomicroorganisms. However, not realizing it didn't mean they could win. Soon, these bugs disappeared from this world under the gnawing of the nanomicroorganisms.

After devouring all living creatures, the nanomicroorganism group surged toward the only exit in the cave. They seemed to have forgotten that there was still a chubby Brain Bug under their noses.

"Sure enough, as I expected, these nanomicroorganisms cannot gnaw on mud." The Brain Bug buried in the tomb observed through its own weak and somewhat pitiful observation that the nanomicroorganism group had already left, and only then did it breathe a sigh of relief.

It was also gambling, gambling that these nanomicroorganisms had no way to deal with substances like ore. The reason was that they had always been gnawing on creatures and plants, but they hadn't gnawed on the mud and ore that were everywhere.

Fortunately, it won the bet. It successfully escaped the terrifying nanomicroorganism group. It successfully survived, but the price was that it was the only lone commander left on this planet, and there was no longer a single bug to obey its command.

"Great Overlord, please do not forget me. Your most loyal servant, Brain Bug Achila, is still here waiting for you." (To be continued.)
