Chapter 222: 228. Chapter 228: Sudden turn for the worse

228. Chapter 228: Sudden turn for the worse

The Zerg have unparalleled talent in digging holes.

Not only the complex tunnels all over the planet, but also digging big pits that kill themselves.

This talent once pitted an entire super-civilized world, and now it is about to pit the Zerg of this 3rd-grade world that have survived for nearly a thousand years.

Sandra's interest was interrupted, and she couldn't help but be furious, drinking coldly: "You go catch some living mouths, I will use the 'Cloud Neon' again to destroy them all."

"Yes."

The cold youth took the order and turned to leave, commanding the battle.

He left 2 people to alert on the spot, took 3 combat team members, chose a direction at random, did not sneak, and marched openly.

The reconnaissance range of the micro-wizard legion is very large.

The Zerg were discovered when they were still more than 15 miles away in a straight line.

The cold youth took 3 combat team members and spent ten minutes on the road, spent less than one minute catching a full 20 Zerg of different clans, and spent ten minutes returning to the temporary rest place.

This speed is already very slow.

It is mainly because they have to take a detour, take too many turns, and delay time.

Otherwise, it would take at most three minutes to get it done.

Sandra endured her anger, waited for the 4 members who went out to fight to return, and immediately activated the defensive shield and identifier that had been prepared long ago.

Subsequently, she contacted the "Cloud Neon" Tower Spirit and issued instructions: "Annihilation mode, full power, three-shot rapid fire."

The Tower Spirit's soft voice sounded: "Warning! Warning! Expected damage overflow! Expected damage overflow! May accidentally injure the legion! May accidentally injure the legion! Suggest half power, two-shot rapid fire."

Sandra took a deep breath, suppressed the increasingly intense anger in her heart, and adopted the Tower Spirit's suggestion: "Agreed. Half power, two-shot rapid fire."

It is not that Sandra cannot manage her emotions well.

It is that the bugs she had never put in her eyes disturbed her one after another, each time more boring than the last.

In addition, even if she didn't want to admit it, her carefully prepared stealth and concealment means were easily cracked by the Zerg, and she still hadn't figured out how the Zerg cracked it, which had a great impact on Sandra.

This time she was so furious, there was quite a component of being ashamed into anger.

Lin Ke buried his head in presiding over various studies on Zerg living bodies, seeking stronger evidence to support his inference.

He didn't care about the movement made by the 8 children of the great families of the Academy Headquarters at all.

Since the division of labor is clear, then sweep the snow in front of one's own door.

Avoid overstepping and causing estrangement.

Fried took advantage of the rest time of changing hands and looked over there a few times.

This made Tiffany a bit dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything.

After all, everyone is a 1st-grade wizard now, and Tiffany can no longer command or blame Fried at will like when she was the president of the "Pure Blood Will" before.

Therefore, Tiffany just signaled with her eyes, without opening her mouth to scold.

Fortunately, her prestige remained, and in terms of talent, level, strength, wisdom, and wrist, she was the highest among the local West Coast Pure Blood families in these generations.

Fried still respected Tiffany very much and immediately restrained his restless thoughts.

He was actually the typical wizard who didn't like specialized research and experiments, but had to carry out research and experiments to improve his level and master witchcraft.

After starting the mission, he was either sampling, testing, or performing an autopsy.

He was already very impatient and urgently wanted to taste some new tricks.

Fighting bugs, he could also do it.

Fried, who was keen on fighting, was thinking this way, when an extremely dangerous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

Pressure greater than a mountain fell on the top of his head, making him almost unable to breathe.

A scene that could be called the end of the world appeared before his eyes.

The soil layer covering their heads disappeared, annihilated.

A beam of light that reached the sky and the earth slowly dissipated, taking away all the surface soil within a radius of 15 miles around, exposing dense tunnels and dense Zerg armies in all directions.

Immediately after, another beam of light that reached the sky and the earth descended from outer space.

Like divine punishment, punishing disobedience.

The Zerg surrounding the micro-legion from all directions instantly evaporated and vaporized, not even leaving ashes.

"Is this the legendary annihilation cannon?"

Fried muttered to himself, his eyes full of envy.

When could he control an interstellar warship that could fire an annihilation cannon?

Lin Ke was also shocked by this scene, and couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

Then he sighed in his heart about using a cannon to hit a mosquito.

Truly rich.

According to Lin Ke's knowledge, Sage Paro conquered the Fairy World, launched three campaigns, and did not use the annihilation cannon.

In the later battle of ambushing the Abyss Demon, he used the Annihilation Light, which was one level higher than the annihilation cannon, at the last moment.

If Sage Paro knew that Sandra only used two annihilation cannons to deal with a group of Zerg in a 3rd-grade world, even if it was only half power, he would feel it was a waste.

Poor then tactical insertion, rich then let me bomb, is truly an unbreakable truth.

It is also common in the heavens and worlds.

Lin Ke suddenly didn't like his own "Sky Shuttle" "Hummingbird"-class interstellar warship so much.

He made up his mind that once he had some spare money, he would save magic stones to buy an interstellar warship of this style to serve as a mount.

Loving the new and loathing the old is truly the nature of men!

hetui...

It's just unknown how many magic stones it will cost and how long it will take to save.

"I am so poor."

Under the agitation of his mood, Lin Ke couldn't help but let out a sigh that was almost inaudible.

"What? What did you say?"

Lanny was the closest, vaguely hearing a "poor" word, but didn't hear it clearly, and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing."

Lin Ke didn't want to explain such things clearly, and immediately changed the subject, "Let's do our things."

As he spoke, Lin Ke accelerated his movements.

Fried also extinguished his thoughts of paying attention to that side under Tiffany's gaze.

The two research groups accelerated the progress of living body research.

On the other side.

Sandra looked at the emptiness in front of her, her mood relaxed, no longer bored.

Her 7 little friends were used to it, and had long been accustomed to Sandra's style of playing dimensionality reduction strikes whenever she was unhappy.

In her words, things that can be solved with magic stones are not things.

The cold youth was about to open his mouth to say something.

Suddenly he covered his ears, fell to the ground in pain, his body trembled, and then there was no sound.

He did not die, but he was not far from death, in a dying state.

It was the life-support function of the protective life-support suit that allowed him to enter suspended animation in time, hanging his last breath.

Only then did he not die on the spot under the sudden attack.

The other 3 children of the Academy Headquarters family who had also had direct contact with the Zerg had almost the same symptoms at the same time and fell into the same suspended animation.

After the 4 fell to the ground and entered suspended animation, barely saving their lives.

A sharp and ear-piercing howl came from deep underground.

The defensive shield set by Sandra earlier was impacted by this howling sound wave and rippled, and after a period of stalemate, it still didn't fully resist it.

Like tempered glass, it shattered into grains one by one.

It just cut off the vast majority of the howling's power.

Breaking the defense, the aftermath of the howling was transmitted to the ears of the others very smoothly.

Even if the power was cut off again and again, it still caused certain damage.

Clang, clang, clang.

The cutting tools in the hands of Lanny, Tiffany, and Fried fell involuntarily.

Fried's first reaction was to cover his ears, and then under Tiffany's reminder, he used spiritual power and magic power to seal his hearing.

Blood spilled from his ears, eyes, nasal cavity, and corners of his mouth, appearing quite miserable.

Even his internal organs were impacted, his throat felt sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Ke was not affected much, his hand holding the cutting tool was steady, and there was no shaking at all. The battle armor wrapped him completely, and Flandre added a natal witchcraft "Battle Armor" in time, so he completely resisted the aftermath of this sound wave attack.

Sandra and the other 3 did not have direct contact with the Zerg, and had a buffer. After protecting the four fallen companions in time, they steadily defended against this sudden sound wave attack and were not affected.

"Cloud Neon!"

After casting several healing witchcrafts on the four fallen companions to maintain their vitality, Sandra shouted loudly at the same time.

The "Cloud Neon" interstellar warship in outer space responded immediately, descending 12 teleportation beams, and teleported the entire micro-legion back in time before the second howling attack arrived.

The shuttle docked at the landing point automatically took off, left the planet, and flew toward the "Cloud Neon."

"Quick, send them to the medical cabin."

Just standing firm, Sandra issued instructions to the Tower Spirit.

The Tower Spirit had already followed the action plan, controlling four first-aid vehicles with emergency life-support functions, hanging the lives of the four wizards in suspended animation.

Receiving Sandra's instructions, it would not delay, and immediately sent them to the medical cabin with complete medical equipment.

"What just happened?"

After dealing with the first-aid matters, Sandra asked the Tower Spirit and the legion members at the same time.

Her tone was serious, her expression gloomy.

She had never thought that she would capsize in the gutter while everything was going smoothly.

This made Sandra's mood very unpleasant.

Especially, she couldn't figure out how the howling attack she suffered just now bypassed the defense, first "killed" her four companions, and then impacted the defensive shield.

Moreover, the defensive shield that could resist a casual blow from a 4th-grade Sage actually shattered under the attack of that weird sound wave!

This shocked Sandra quite a bit.

Vaguely feeling that things had been out of her control since just now.

The mission that she thought was easy to get actually had twists and turns.

The 3rd-grade Zerg world that she thought was in her hands actually hid amazing secrets.

"Unclear."

The round-faced youth's expression was quite fearful, and his voice even carried a trace of trembling, "Just now I only had time to defend against the attack, and didn't take care to investigate the source of the attack."

"Hmph!"

Sandra squeezed out a nasal sound unhappily, looked at the companion responsible for the main reconnaissance, and asked, "What is the situation now?"

The companion responsible for reconnaissance turned his head, full of disbelief: "All reconnaissance wizard artifacts have lost contact!"

"What?"

Sandra's volume involuntarily raised.

The Wizard World has dealt with the Zerg so many times, naturally knowing the various characteristics of the Zerg.

Therefore, before Sandra took the mission and formed the micro-legion, she had consulted relevant materials.

The customized reconnaissance wizard artifacts were all special versions that resisted Zerg interference.

Just the magic stones spent on purchasing these reconnaissance wizard artifacts were enough for a pharmacist like Lin Ke Grande to be busy for three months.

Such a large investment actually didn't even hear a sound, and it was all lost.

The secret hidden in this Zerg world is truly not small.

The attack power is also far beyond the cap of 3rd-grade transcendent!

Sandra was quite glad at this time that her first reaction when facing the mutation was to call the "Cloud Neon."

Instead of fighting back on the spot.

Otherwise, it is extremely likely that there would have been casualties.

Even total annihilation is not impossible.

"Warning! Warning! The wounded have sudden unknown conditions! The wounded have sudden unknown conditions!"

At this time, the red light turned on, and the Tower Spirit issued a warning.

Sandra couldn't think too much, and immediately rushed to the medical cabin.

The four unconscious children of the Academy Headquarters family, three men and one woman, were all soaking in the nutrient solution of the transparent cabin, receiving various examinations, treatments, and life maintenance from the medical cabin.

However, the instruments monitoring the vital signs of the four wounded were always issuing warnings.

The four wounded, even with a huge amount of life force replenished at any time, still had disordered vital signs and were likely to die at any time.

And the medical cabin with complete medical equipment and complete medical plans used all means, but could not rule out the cause of this situation.

Except for constantly increasing the replenishment of life force, there was no other way.

The four wounded were on the verge of life and death, precarious!

At the critical moment, Lin Ke couldn't care about hiding his secrets, and directly operated the "Brain Seal Technique" with all his strength, opening the "multi-threaded thinking" state.

Then he took a step forward, rushed to the glass cover of a transparent cabin, and carefully observed the physical condition and various monitoring data of the cold youth.

In the "Small World," Flandre also mobilized source power, significantly enhanced computing power.

And transferred the enhanced computing power to Lin Ke through a special connection.

Details appeared and fell one by one, data flashed before his eyes, possibilities appeared and disappeared...

Lin Ke opened the brain storm, thought rapidly, and explored the reason for this weird situation.

Suddenly, a small spot on the index finger of the cold youth's right hand came into Lin Ke's eyes.

Although he didn't know what this small spot represented, in the brain overclocking state, Lin Ke intuitively felt that this was the culprit causing the life force of the four wounded to flow away constantly, and no matter how much it was replenished, it couldn't be replenished.

Several sliding steps, Lin Ke quickly flashed past the other three transparent cabins, and quickly observed the ten fingers, palms, backs of hands, and wrists of the other three wounded.

Finally, he found that the three wounded had the same small spots on their hands, but the positions were different.

The Mind Palace was enabled, and the memory pictures of the four wounded flashed frame by frame.

Lin Ke found a blind spot, which was also the common point of the four wounded.

That is, the four wounded all used hands with small spots to directly grab Zerg living bodies.

Even through triple or even multiple defenses, they were still backlashed.

Thinking to this point, Lin Ke directly said to Sandra: "Check the small spots on their hands, see if you can find out any problems, and if you can remove them."

After Sandra was reminded by Lin Ke, she noticed this abnormality and immediately issued instructions to the Tower Spirit: "Detect these small spots, if possible, remove them directly."

"Understood."

The Tower Spirit received the order and immediately executed it.

Several beams of light scanned the small spots on the hands of the four wounded and began to detect.

Lin Ke still maintained the brain overclocking state at this time, analyzing the origin and effect of these small spots.

As a result, the origin and effect of the small spots were not analyzed.

But there were other gains.

A flash of inspiration, Lin Ke connected the research on Zerg living bodies, many data of dead Zerg eggs, the autopsy results of four Zerg corpses, and the terrifying power of the weird howling sound wave, and gave birth to a guess that was not very relevant.

That is, what they are dealing with is not just the Zerg of this 3rd-grade world.

Other world Zerg with higher caps have bypassed the monitoring of the Wizard World and arrived at this 3rd-grade world.

Now the one presiding over the various affairs of this 3rd-grade world is no longer the original Zerg.

But more advanced, more powerful Zerg.

Only in this way can it be explained clearly why a group that has survived for nearly a thousand years has been evolving toward a higher level at the cost of large-scale sacrifice in just three years.

Only then can it be explained clearly why the various preparations Sandra made for the Zerg of this 3rd-grade world were all useless.

Discovered as soon as they landed, caught living mouths and were calculated, the defensive shield had no effect.

Closing the "multi-threaded thinking" state, Lin Ke took a deep breath, suppressing the waves still rolling in the depths of his heart.

Walking to Sandra, he said solemnly: "We have big trouble."

"What trouble?"

Sandra asked back.

Lin Ke was about to say his guess.

The emergency warning light of the "Cloud Neon" lit up again.

A holographic projection appeared abruptly in front of everyone.

In front of the "Cloud Neon," a Zerg mother nest with a body size comparable to a comet slowly manifested.

Trouble has arrived! ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
