Chapter 364: The Will of the Insect Nest: Wanla, is this coming for me?!
Bal airspace.

It is unknown how long the space war lasted.

The huge muzzle of the macro cannon spewed out flames, the light of the light spear rays burst out from time to time, and the torpedoes swayed with tail flames and crashed into the Tyranid creatures.

The defense line built by artillery fire is intertwined with the savage Tyranid creatures.

Although these artillery defense lines were tight, many attacks still managed to get past the defense lines and break out in the ship area.

Void shields buckled or were pierced by the impact of living missiles, and Tyranid hunters streaked through the fire of bioplasma, ejecting spines strong enough to pierce the hull of a ship.

The edges of some large warships are clinging to a number of tentacles made of flesh and blood.

Their muscles wriggled, exposing huge, knobby chitinous teeth that dug into the hull, releasing swarms of metal-eating Tyranids.

These creatures cling to the ship like barnacles, working hard to devour and decompose the metal of the hull.

More living weapons were destroyed in the violent explosion, and large numbers of small Tyranid creatures and flesh and blood residues were splashed into space.

Become a floater.

These Tyranid creatures, which had long adapted to space, spewed gas from their backs, pushing them towards the area of ​​human ships.

They will try to get into every pipe and destroy and kill everything they see.

hiss~
A slimy Tyranid predator crawled through the breach into the ship's corridor and devoured the unsuspecting crew.

"Oh my savior, these damn aliens are endless!"

The strong man's voice sounded.

Then a fierce barrage of explosive bombs swept over, killing the alien hunter, but more slimy alien figures appeared.

"Brother, we should be thankful that we are still alive. At least it is much safer here than on the ground, if the damn aliens hadn't destroyed this ship."

Another soldier continued, "This ship is our life now. It is also the responsibility given to us by the Savior. So, let's feed those bugs more explosives!"

Several azure blue armored boots stepped into the corridor, and dense gunfire rang out.

The intertwined chains of bullets swept through all the alien life in the corridor.

It was a squad of Saviour's battle armored units, doing their best to clear out any Tyranids that had invaded the ship.

Another large ship power area.

"For the Golden Sun and the Savior!"

A loud war roar rang out, and the power hammer flashing with arcs of electricity smashed the hideous insect head.

The Crimson War Angels Terminator squad teamed up to take out a Tyranid Tyrant, then used flamethrowers to burn its corpse to prevent the acid in its body from corroding valuable ship parts.

However, the power gear still came to an abrupt stop, followed by white smoke and sparks.

Upon seeing this, the captain of the Terminator team immediately used the communication to access the maintenance channel:
"It's time for the maintenance guys to work overtime. The power components in the A34 area are broken and may catch fire. You'd better come quickly..."

After that, he ignored the matter and quickly led the team away from the area.

Go to the next battlefield.

There's another big guy in there, hopefully it didn't cause too much damage.

bang~
The power gears burned with flames, making the dark space brighter.

The fire was about to spread to more areas.

Fortunately, the Mechanical Sage Reina came with his engineering team.

"Mechanical Goddess, put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"

Reina cursed and uttered some dirty binary swear words: "010, why didn't those muscle guys just destroy this place when they were fighting? Then there would be no need to repair it!"

According to the data detected by the electronic eye.

If the damage to the power components increases by another 5%, this area will be completely destroyed to the point where it cannot be repaired, and the entire ship will lose 20% of its power.

This will increase the probability of a ship being destroyed in a war by 10%.

The mechanical sage could not help but feel worried: "Based on the current situation, the chance of this ship being destroyed by the Tyranids is very high. The probability that I can survive tomorrow is less than 60%..."

He didn't want to die like this.

Because in another standard Terran moon and a half, he would be able to get the rare Mechanical Goddess badge which was of collection value.

For that rare badge.

He invested almost all of his fortune in an extremely unpopular project, and was about to produce results and receive a badge.

Reina touched the two slightly dim badges with the Mechanical Goddess pattern on his chest. When the time comes, he will be able to create a shiny and rare physical Mechanical Goddess badge as a decorative holy object.

This way you will feel more confident when you go out on your own, and you can also join better groups and acquire more skills.

"Oh, I hope I can live to that time..."

Reina is a little depressed.

But he soon thought of another thing and felt a little comforted.

If I unfortunately die in this war, I can also get a nice war honor mechanical goddess badge with shining patterns.

It's not like there's nothing gained.

In this way, there will be three badges on his mechanical tombstone, which is at least not so shabby.

Of course, if you can survive, that would be the best outcome.

Reina thought as he entered the detected damage data into the mechanical brain.

Firefighting in the power area is still ongoing.

"Hurry, the fire is spreading again!"

The technicians hurriedly pulled the hose from the construction vehicle and jogged to the burning area, pulling the hose.

At this time, the flames had already risen to three or four meters high.

They pointed the hose at the burning area and pressed the valve, and a large amount of foam mixed with high-ignition-point holy oil was sprayed out, covering the burning area.

The bubbles, which blocked the air, quickly extinguished the flames.

Of course, more effective is holy oil.

Those holy oils with extremely high ignition points can soothe the machine spirit very well and prevent it from becoming even more violent under the scorching flames.

The red and green lights on the engineering vehicle flashed, and the sound generator continued to play the Mechanical Goddess's version of the binary hymn, further soothing the machine spirit.

After the flame is extinguished.

The Mechanical Sage rode an octopus-like aircraft with mechanical tentacles to the damaged part of the power gear to carry out repair work.

His robotic arms quickly clean up the damaged area, refill it with new parts, and then perform a closed weld.

Suddenly, the entire power zone vibrated.

The Mechanical Sage's attention was drawn to the source of the vibration. Through the reinforced glass porthole not far away, he could see the ship's huge macro gun muzzle that was emitting thick smoke.

It was a nearly half-kilometer-long shipborne cannon that was adjusting its angle.

boom!
A blazing light emerged and the macro cannon shells flew out.

The shell flew at high speed towards the area where the Tyranid biological fleet was located, passing by many hideous living creatures.

A huge tentacle swept over to try to block it, but failed.

With a silent roar, the macro cannon shell luckily flew into the giant mouth of the Tyranid Kraken covered with tentacles.

next second.

Flames exploded from the body of the Tyranid Siren, and it quickly expanded and broke into pieces, becoming chunks of meat floating in the air.

But soon, tentacles rolled away these dozens of meters long pieces of meat and recycled the biomass.

Not far behind these tentacle creatures, in the starry sky, there lay a huge, hideous shadow.

It was the Leviathan in space, a void behemoth that was thirty kilometers long and nearly five kilometers wide. Its huge size made it the most eye-catching existence on the battlefield.

All prototypes of living biological ships, biological weapons and Tyranid units are produced from this mother body, and its value is immeasurable.

It is also the trophy most desired by the Saviors.

However, as things stand, no artillery fire can threaten the safety of this void behemoth.

The attacks of the human fleet were all blocked by the biological defense line.

There was a hole several dozen meters long on the chitin armor on Leviathan's body, which was created by a demonic beast called Kabanha.

Dozens of worker insects were busy at the breach.

They store a lot of thick slurry in their stomach sacs, which they then spit out into the wound through their tubular mouthparts, repairing it bit by bit.

This soft slurry would quickly harden, eventually forming a chitin armor layer strong enough to withstand shipboard gunfire.

After a skinny worker insect consumed the slurry, it immediately turned around and followed the cavity into the interior of the void beast.

It needs to be filled with new grout.

Inside Leviathan, the transport cavity.

In this cavity, countless Tyranid insects are busy shuttling back and forth, adding vitality to this place.

The surface of the cavity is covered with a layer of tentacles similar to water plants. They are soft and delicate, swaying gently with the weak airflow in the cavity.

The skinny worker insect was hit hard by other insects and fell into the tentacle of a water plant.

But it does not contain any anger, nor any sense of resistance.

As the lowest-level unit, workers are not given the right to fight, or there is no relevant concept in the genetic chain at all.

Whether it is the war inside or outside the bio-ship, it has little to do with the worker insects living inside the bio-ship, and they are not given the ability to think about these things.

Its only function is to work according to the established procedures. It is enough to maintain the biological ship.

The skinny worker insect that had fallen to the ground quickly climbed up from the tentacles of the water plants, flapped its flippers hard to get back on the correct track, and continued to slide towards the biomass pond.

This is the most familiar trajectory in its genes. Over hundreds of years, it has traveled back and forth on this channel countless times.

But now, things have changed a little.

In the node area of ​​the cavity, tentacles or limbs are constantly hunting the worker insects coming and going.

Those Tyranlicat and the tyrant had many scars on their bodies and were starving.

They stuff the captured worker insects into their mouths and devour them, with sticky blood flowing down the tentacles around their mouths.

The worker insects did not resist or even try to evade, but continued to slide forward along the route they remembered.

Even the screams of their own kind did not elicit any reaction from them.

The hunting behavior of Tyranid war units is obviously abnormal, as they have independent feeding grounds to supply biomass.

That means there is a problem with the ecology inside the Void Behemoth, and the order has become unstable.

The skinny Tyranid worker was lucky enough not to be hunted and eaten.

Although its body was stained with the blood of its own kind, it seemed to be unaware of all this and continued to move forward by flapping its flippers at a steady pace.

When the skinny Tyranid worker arrived at the biological pool, his thinking finally changed slightly.

It floated blankly above the biological pool, somewhat at a loss.

Because this biological pond has completely dried up, the biomass solution that was once full and endless is nowhere to be seen.

There is extreme hunger here...

At this time, inside the core chamber of the void beast.

yah~
Arcs flickered across the mind worm array, and more bioelectric currents intertwined, all of which affected the special spore sacs linked to the mind worm array.

The Leviathan Hive's main body, wrapped in the spore sac - the old, wrinkled old insect suddenly opened its eyes.

Its chest heaved violently, and a hint of fear was revealed deep in its compound eyes.

The ancient Zerg wisdom was afraid. This extremely rare emotion was brought by the savior.

He had dealt this ancient being too many blows.

The hive mind has fully understood that this battle was a mistake. From the Hades Galaxy to the Baal Galaxy, the shadow of the savior looms over the Zerg.

Never dissipated.

Simply put, this guy was traumatized by the Savior.

The hive mind's thoughts become active:

"The losses of the Zerg have reached an intolerable limit. The tentacles of the Great Devourer must leave this threatening land..."

According to the latest bioelectric information, large-scale starvation has occurred and biomass pools are drying up one after another.

Even more troublesome is that.

Whether in space war or ground war, the Zerg is at a disadvantage and sees no hope of victory.

The swarm continues to shrink.

If we don't evacuate in time, I'm afraid everything will be destroyed here.

The hive mind issued the order to retreat.

It ordered the Tyranid biological fleet to shrink its front line and gradually gather together, preparing to collectively use the space channel to leave the Baal galaxy.

The ancient Zerg wisdom did not feel too depressed about this failure and retreat.

Because the battle was not in vain.

During the long front and raids on the central area, the Likart Assassins devoured many human elites, including military commanders, technicians, religious priests, and so on.

He even accidentally devoured a savior's Thunder Guard.

Since Licart has the ability to extract memories, the Hive Mind obtained a large amount of information about the Savior's territory and the Savior from the memories of these people.

From the command system to the composition of the army and the execution of tactics, it includes many rare technologies and concepts.

This is knowledge that the Galaxy has never had before, and it is a huge gain.

Now the hive mind has digested all of this and learned a lot of valuable knowledge from it, which can enable the swarm to further evolve.

not to mention.

The Tyranid swarm reproduces extremely quickly.

After the biological fleet leaves here safely, it will use this valuable knowledge to cultivate new and more powerful insect swarms and grow further.

By that time, its swarm will be unstoppable!

This is the horror of the Tyranids. They can constantly learn and evolve. The stronger the enemy they encounter, the stronger they will become.

The Leviathan was just a medium-sized Zerg swarm at the beginning, but after devouring the Greenskin Empire, it became the most powerful Zerg swarm in the galaxy.

Now, it has encountered the Savior's territory and absorbed the opponent's superior knowledge and technology, and will become even more terrifying!
"Perhaps, I should thank the savior for giving the Zerg a chance to evolve!"

After the hive mind absorbed the memory information about the savior, it became active again, and the previous fear was swept away.

It recorded this hatred.

When the Zerg swarm recovers again, the savior will truly see the abyssal mouth of the planet devourer.

The Hive Will is confident that it can defeat the Savior in the future, because no one knows the Savior better than itself!

Among those hundreds of human memories, there is a lot of information about the Savior. In particular, the Savior's Thunder Guards contributed a lot of top-secret information about the Savior.

The hive mind analyzed these human memories and the entire battle situation, eliminated the influence of factors such as religious worship and power, and completely restored the character and behavior patterns of the savior.

That is truly a terrifying and cunning human being...

After it got to know the Savior better, it gave this evaluation.

Fortunately, I have a deep understanding of that existence, which will provide considerable help in future wars.

Simply put, this ancient insect swarm wisdom understands the Savior, strips off the opponent's underwear, and can also formulate targeted tactics based on this!

All it needs now is time, time to recover and evolve the swarm and regroup.

The will of the hive has kept its mind steady. Don't panic. There will be a chance to win in the future!
Suddenly, new bioelectric information came.

"That savior left Baal and is... approaching the hive mothership?!"

The hive mind hissed, the activity of the brain worm array became more intense, and the CPU continued to heat up.

This information made it completely panic.

Based on the previous analysis of the savior's character.

He is an extremely cautious, conservative, and even somewhat timid human being. Especially in war, he is almost conservative to the extreme and unwilling to take any risks.

And this is what makes him so scary.

Its terrifying weapons and conservative, cautious character enabled it to achieve great victory in every war it fought.

Even more troublesome is that.

He rarely appears on the battlefield. Only when he has gained absolute advantage and is sure of winning safely will he show up to take the final victory.

Now the savior is coming towards me, which means... I am the final winner!

This is an ending that the Hive Mind never imagined. Not only did humans resist the swarm, but they also tried to destroy themselves?

What a ridiculous thing this is!
If it were any other human, it might not worry.

But that is a savior, someone who will not take action unless he is absolutely sure.

That terrifying existence has arrived, and it is no longer safe here!
The savior dared to come out of the fortress and launch a counterattack against me. What terrible, sinister, and despicable means could he not do? !
"Retreat, leave here immediately!"

The Hive Mind screamed and hissed.

Instead of waiting for the rest of the biological fleet, it ordered Tyranid's pilot creature, the Narwhal, to act immediately and lead the Leviathan Hive Mothership into the space compression navigation channel.

Those biological fleets were abandoned and that was it.

As long as the hive mothership leaves here, the swarm will still have a chance to recover.

In the void.

The narwhal worm ship flew to the front of the fleet, and many biological ships gradually gathered around it to form a protective layer. The Tyranid pilot creature quickly used its complex senses to lock onto the new position.

Then the space fluctuated, compressing into a horizontal funnel-like channel.

However, the next second, something strange happened.

boom--

A plasma warhead with incredible energy hit the area at an extremely tricky angle.

In an instant.

The plasma warhead exploded as fiercely as a small star, causing a huge explosion. The high temperature almost destroyed everything around it and caused the space to slightly distort.

The living bio-ship wailed in flames.

After the scorching heat dissipates.

"The retreat failed?"

The hive mind was stunned as it looked at the charred pieces of meat floating in the void and the narwhal worm ship that had turned upside down, its body charred and twitching.

That was an attack that had never occurred in the battle, and the Savior was still holding back!
