Chapter 108

Zhou Yun tightened his fist, controlling his strength, and looked at the Termagant in front of him.

Compared to him, the Termagant's movements were far too slow, as if it were a film reel that had jammed.

Only after truly using the prop called the acceleration spring did Zhou Yun truly understand what "accelerating any action" meant.

Now, Zhou Yun's movements, thinking, and reactions were all accelerated.

Relative to the world, he seemed to be on fast-forward.

Tighten the fist, hold back the strength, don't turn it into meat paste.

Zhou Yun thought, keeping his composure.

The Superman gloves could provide up to a hundred tons of strength, but the disadvantage was that it was difficult to control.

After the acceleration spring accelerated Zhou Yun's actions, controlling the strength became even more difficult.

He had accidentally turned Tyranid organisms into meat paste before.

The Future Department Store looked at the quality when recycling; the price of Tyranid organisms turned into meat paste was basically dirt cheap.

Zhou Yun took a deep breath and threw a punch lightly at the Termagant in front of him—

Boom!

Zhou Yun's hand wearing the Superman glove knocked on the Termagant's head. A depression appeared on the Termagant's head, and meat foam spurted out from it.

The Termagant fell heavily to the ground, kicked its legs twice, and died.

Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally hunted a Termagant intact.

That was about the right amount of strength.

Thinking this, Zhou Yun was about to reach out and stuff this almost intact Termagant into his fourth-dimensional pocket.

Several Rippers suddenly pounced from the ground, rushing toward the dead Tyranid organism, about to start gnawing.

The veins on Zhou Yun's forehead twitched slightly. That was the Termagant he had just killed!

"Mine! It's all mine, damn it!"

Zhou Yun kicked the pouncing Rippers away:

"What kind of status do you have to compete with me for biomass?"

As he said this, Zhou Yun stuffed the Termagant into his fourth-dimensional pocket with lightning speed.

【Prop Name: Termagant】

【Origin: Hades Shield System - Ashford Planet - Tyranid Incubation Pool】

【Evaluation: A relatively low-level Tyranid organism, one of the cheapest units for the Tyranid swarm. The firearm in its hand is actually a symbiotic organism. Has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, keeping the spear from falling; not suitable for consumption.】

【Production Time: 998. m41】

【Status: Lightly damaged】

【Value: 3000 yuan】

Zhou Yun clicked to sell without hesitation, then strode forward, his whole body turning into a blur and disappearing from where he stood.

The Termagant was just killed in passing; the real target was still...

While waving his fists to kill the Tyranid organisms blocking his way, Zhou Yun searched for signs of node organisms in the swarm.

Where were the node organisms leading this part of the swarm?

Node organisms were equivalent to mobile hotspots; just as electronic devices need to connect to Wi-Fi to get online, low-level Tyranid organisms rely on node organisms to connect to the Hive Mind.

As long as the node organisms leading this part of the swarm are killed, the low-level Tyranid organisms in the swarm will fall into chaos or even attack each other, no different from ordinary beasts.

The Cadian Shock Troops could also take this opportunity to annihilate the chaotic swarm.

Ever since Zhou Yun stepped into the defensive line, he had been hunting the node organisms in the swarm.

This was both to create opportunities for the Cadians and because node organisms were generally more valuable and durable, and their quality was better when sold.

Zhou Yun casually killed two Termagants and stuffed them into his fourth-dimensional pocket.

He had killed his way back and forth through this part of the swarm, why couldn't he find any node organisms?

"Above your head!" The voice of the winged figure in the white light rang in Zhou Yun's ear.

Zhou Yun looked up abruptly, only to feel a violent wind piercing toward his face.

The beast spread its wings, let out an ear-piercing roar, and two slender sharp claws pierced toward Zhou Yun's face.

Zhou Yun's body moved slightly, turning into a blur and dodging to the side.

At this moment, he also saw clearly who his attacker was...

Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant!

It was a Tyranid organism covered in a deep purple carapace, about two or three meters tall, with a slender body and two sharp claws.

Its posture revealed a sense of lightness, elegance, and danger, as if it were a carefully tuned killing weapon.

Unlike other Tyranid organisms, it only had two sharp claws; the other two sharp claws were replaced by a pair of huge wings.

The most powerful subspecies among Tyranid Warriors is called the Tyranid Hive Tyrant.

They are often stronger, faster, and more dangerous.

And the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant is a more dangerous and terrifying hunter that has specialized in flight and speed on the basis of the Tyranid Hive Tyrant.

Zhou Yun threw a punch abruptly toward the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant.

His speed, under the blessing of the acceleration spring, had become so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to see clearly.

However, the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant suddenly flapped its wings at the last moment, riding the wind and flying straight into the clouds.

It was like a hunting falcon circling in the sky, patiently waiting to hunt Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun understood in an instant; this was a unit specifically produced by the Tyranid Hive Mind to target him.

This was what Hive Fleet Leviathan was best at: manufacturing corresponding units according to changes in the battlefield situation.

A smile curled at the corner of Zhou Yun's mouth. Sure enough, it had taken the bait.

The Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant flew high in the sky, staring fixedly at Zhou Yun on the ground.

The height it flew at was only about ten meters from the ground.

Because if it flew too high, it would be attacked by the anti-aircraft firepower composed of Icarus anti-aircraft guns and Hydra anti-aircraft tanks.

As a relatively high-level Tyranid node organism, the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant was endowed with extremely high intelligence; it could understand the meaning of its existence and knew how to act.

Hunt—hunt that male bipedal mammalian hairless organism on the ground.

That organism had a negative impact on the swarm's feeding.

His speed was fast, his fist strength reached a hundred tons, he was precisely hunting node organisms in the swarm, and what troubled the swarm most was that this organism seemed to use some method to snatch the biomass that should have belonged to the swarm.

This was bad; this meant the other party was not just prey.

The other party was also a hunter, a predator, a competitor of the swarm.

Competitors are different from prey.

No matter how intense the resistance of the prey, the swarm can eventually harvest more biomass than it loses through exquisite operations and corpse recycling.

No matter what, the swarm always profits.

But competitors are different.

Whether it was that group of incorporeal Warp organisms or that group of mechanical organisms made of steel,

as long as they fought them, the swarm often lost.

The organism in front of him was the same; he had some means to make biomass disappear.

Even if the swarm eventually hunted him down, the lost biomass would not be recovered.

He must be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent the loss of biomass from expanding.

To clear him, the swarm hatched the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant.

Speed is fast? The Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant's is also fast.

Strength is strong? The Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant flies in the sky where he cannot reach.

And according to previous observations, the Hive Mind had already confirmed... his physical strength was very low.

As long as it seized one flaw, the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant could pounce and kill him—

!. Read

The sound of wind rang in the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant's ears.

The Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant dodged in a panic.

However, Zhou Yun only used less than half a second to arrive in front of it.

The Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant, unprepared for this, could not dodge in time.

At the last moment, the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant only had time to see clearly that there was a small yellow propeller on Zhou Yun's head.

The intelligence and knowledge endowed to it by the swarm could not figure out no matter what,

how such a small thing provided the lift for the organism in front of it to climb ten meters in less than half a second.

So he could fly; he had deliberately hidden this ability to let the Hive Mind produce the wrong unit.

When the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant realized this, Zhou Yun's fist had already arrived in front of it.

Must be able to use it in the next time!

The Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant thought so.

Then its head was hit by Zhou Yun's fist, bursting into a mist of blood.

Zhou Yun grabbed the headless corpse of the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant and stuffed it into his fourth-dimensional pocket.

【Prop Name: Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant】

【Origin: Hades Shield System - Ashford Planet - Tyranid Incubation Pool】

【Evaluation: Tyranid node organism, a Tyranid Hive Tyrant specialized in flight and speed, is one of the most dangerous hunters on the battlefield. Sweet and neutral in nature, tonifies the liver and kidneys, benefits qi and blood, nourishes yin and clears deficiency heat; not suitable for consumption. Recommended prescription: Hive Tyrant White Phoenix Pill.】

【Production Time: 998. m41】

【Status: Go slowly, go slowly, I'm afraid you'll be headless if you go again.】

【Value: 450,000 yuan】

The corner of Zhou Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

Hive Fleet Leviathan, especially Hive Fleet Leviathan, is particularly good at hatching Tyranid organisms according to battlefield needs.

This is usually an advantage.

But the problem is that the battlefield is urgent; Hive Fleet Leviathan cannot redesign a Tyranid organism to hatch.

It must be choosing the most suitable one to hatch from units designed in the past.

This means that if a person has enough understanding of Tyranid organisms, and even knows the units commonly used by the hive,

then one can guess what kind of units the swarm will hatch and put into the battlefield according to the abilities one shows, the situation of the battlefield, and the goals of the hive...

One can even guide the Hive Mind to hatch specific units.

In other words, Zhou Yun can order dishes, letting the Hive Mind stir-fry two dishes for him on the spot.

He deliberately induced the Tyranid Hive Mind to hatch flying node organism units, waiting to pit it with the bamboo-copter.

The speed of the bamboo-copter is 80 kilometers per hour, not particularly fast... but the bamboo-copter does not need to accelerate to reach this speed.

Zhou Yun can fly at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour in an instant.

With the suppression of anti-aircraft firepower, Tyranid hive organisms cannot fly too high.

Unless the Hive Mind spends a lot of money and throws out a Winged Hive Tyrant to deal with Zhou Yun,

otherwise, the bamboo-copter, which can climb more than 20 meters in one second, is enough to kill most Tyranid flying units in an instant.

Of course, having done this once, the Hive Mind will definitely be more cautious next time.

Zhou Yun's mouth curled. He still had several ideas that had already been implemented, specifically targeting different Tyranid units, wanting to see if he could pit the Hive Mind again.

Just at this moment, Zhou Yun noticed that a signal flare was slowly rising at the position of the Cadian Shock Troops.

Thanks to An-An-Za for the 10,000 Qidian coin reward, the most reward I've received in this life.
