Chapter 62: Battle against the Matrix
Liu Xun waited for his opportunity.
The guns constantly interfere with the evil-eyed insects, which cannot cause much damage, but can make them lose patience.
Watching it slap the ground in annoyance, its eyes began to turn red.
At this moment, Wu Qingqing quickly changed weapons and fired at the tentacles.
The javelin immediately pierced the tentacles of the magic eye worm, directly restricting its movement.
Although the tentacles of the evil-eyed bugs can regenerate, their intelligence is not yet sufficient to make the judgment to cut off their tails to survive.
Liu Xun jumped up with a hammer in his hand, and one end of the hammer exerted external force, emitting blue flames.
The shadow of a huge hammer was reflected on the wall, and it smashed down violently.
The evil-eyed insect man only had time to scream in pain.
The eyeball shattered, eye fluid scattered all over the ground, and the person died.
The sneak attack was successful!
Wu Qingqing and Liu Xun high-fived, "Yeah, we're faster than Hu Ping, one minute and thirty seconds."
The two had red cheeks and were very excited. They had never thought that in just ten days, they would become so powerful and prevent the magic eye worm from damaging their bodies.
Big victory.
You can learn a lot in school, but many things are difficult to access.
For example, on the capital planet which is well protected by the military, incidents of insect people disguising themselves as humans are only isolated cases. The only place where people can come into contact with insect people on a daily basis is the specimen exhibition hall.
The 022 Mechanical Planet is well-equipped, has a large space, and covers all kinds of terrain, allowing for a variety of training methods.
Su Xiaocai was teaching the game in crash course mode. Ten days was enough for a novice to become familiar with mechas, not to mention a talented mecha master.
For talented players, ten days are enough to turn a novice into an expert.
Just when I had finished my training, it was time to put it into practice.
It's just that this practice is a bit too stimulating.
Hu Ping dealt with the other magic eye worm and snorted coldly. What was there to be proud of when two people were dealing with one magic eye worm?
"Should the body be burned?" Hu Ping asked Su Xiaocai.
"That's too late."
The three of them looked at the dozen or so Greedy Beings with various strange appearances at Su Xiaocai's feet.
Good, good, it turns out that the insect people they tried their best to deal with are just like cutting vegetables to Su Xiaocai.
There are too many “vegetables” and it is indeed difficult to destroy them.
Su Xiaocai stepped over a group of insects and said, "Ignore them. Our mission is to kill the mother. But you can collect some materials from them. I've been researching biological mechas recently. Maybe these things can be one of the raw materials."
Did they hear it right?
Use the insect people themselves as raw materials.
Very interesting, OK, OK, "If the insects are used as raw materials, will they be resurrected? They will be used to make wedding clothes for the insects."
"Don't you trust me? The insect people are dead. The biggest misunderstanding humans have about them is that they can be resurrected. The greedy ones don't have as strong vitality as the warriors." Su Xiaocai also planned to hunt an insect warrior to see if it could be used as the raw material for her mecha.
Blackwing is still a little lacking, not as good as Wisdom01.
Wisdom 01 also felt that the Black Wing was not that great, as it still had many functions that were not used. "This is just a small amount of stuff, not enough to fill my teeth. Hahahaha, five kilometers ahead is where the nest is, let's attack, attack."
Wisdom 01 is a crazy artificial intelligence who grew up influenced by the second-year comics on the Internet.
It has excellent leadership ability, but its only shortcoming is that it is a bit of a villain and likes to fight and kill.
This is also the reason why Su Xiaocai is reluctant to activate it, and it is the carrier of Chibi Maruko-chan. To put it simply, there are two independent systems on the carrier of Chibi Maruko-chan.
Compared with Chibi Maruko-chan and Wisdom 01, Chibi Maruko-chan is an angel.
Angels and demons coexist.
But the "devil" is still very reliable.
As long as something can move, Wisdom 01 can analyze whether it is alive or dead.
"Keep going. I won't block the insects for you this time. I'll kill the mother later and I need you to clear the obstacles for me."
As the distance increased, the number of insect people increased.
"Didn't all the insect people run away? Why are there still so many insects?" The three of them worked hard to kill five or six of them, but more came one after another, coming out from deeper places.
"The mother can give birth. How can its endurance be so exaggerated without a source of nutrition?"
Generally speaking, the mother body can give birth without taking in any living organism. It is an energy collector itself and can absorb energy slowly.
And it is a "production line". It produces as much as it consumes.
When there is no living organism to take in, her production capacity is greatly reduced.
Su Xiaocai didn’t say this. Humans have not conducted enough investigations on the insect people. Over the years, there are only a handful of people who have been able to break into the nest and escape unscathed.
There is not a single expert or researcher who can withdraw.
The information collected is limited.
"Let's collect some information while we're in this time." Su Xiaocai had a selfish motive for this. She would give some benefits to those who wanted the information.
After all, no one cherishes free things.
Su Xiaocai hummed a song happily, avoiding the siege of the three insect men, and watching Wu Qingqing and the other two struggling to cope with it. This was the best opportunity to adapt.
Su Xiaocai knew that the battle up there must be very fierce, and it was necessary to kill the mother body as soon as possible.
If she went forward alone, the danger would increase greatly, but with assistance, her safety would increase.
The premise is that the assistants will not die.
Wu Qingqing and others worked hard to deal with the insect people and quickly understood their attributes.
Even though they were harsh in words and complained about each other, they were actually very anxious inside. They kept their composure and protected their teammates in their own way.
After killing more than two hundred insect men, they finally reached the center of the nest.
Facing the scary nest again, Wu Qingqing took a deep breath and felt shocked during the game.
In reality, my mind is filled with the sound of death trumpets, it’s so deadly.
It was similar to the one in the game, huge, with insect eggs piled up like mountains, and even worse, there were a lot of life forms hanging from the roof.
Under the silk threads of the same length, humans, big dogs, insects, and insect people learned to store food.
Liu Xun was trembling with fear. All those humans had painful and hideous expressions on their faces. It was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
"Can those people still be saved?"
Wu Qingqing didn't hold out hope. "There are so many of them. They must have been missing for a long time."
Hu Ping made a devilish statement, "It can remain alive without food or water. The insect man must have added some special seasoning to it and pickled it raw. It's alive, but dead."
“Raw pickled…”
Wu Qingqing and Liu Xun shook off the goose bumps on their bodies and told Hu Ping to talk less.
"Tsk, your imagination is not good enough. Let me help you expand it." Hu Ping was so nervous that he couldn't control his mouth and couldn't help but say something to ease the atmosphere.
Su Xiaocai said: "Remember to turn on the recording function, you two will be my cover."
In the center of the lair, lay a huge monster.
It did not notice the stranger entering the pit, and its head was buried in the "pillow" made of tentacles.
The mother has many forms, and this one has an elongated body, like a scaleless snake.
There are many thin filaments distributed on the back, and one end of the filament is connected to an uneven tumor, but that is not a tumor, it is an egg.
Endless eggs.
Insects kept breaking out of their shells.
Some insect people know how to crawl out of the pit as soon as they are born. They are extremely hungry, but there is no food in the pit, so they have to go out to hunt.
The weak and immobile insect man was hung up by a "spider" that looked like a flower on its head.
This will be one of the mother's foods.
The Zerg can devour each other to evolve, but they cannot attack the mother body. This is an irreversible iron law. When the mother body is hungry, it can even ask the warriors to sacrifice themselves.
The weak insect-men did not struggle and were willing to become part of the mother body.
When they arrived here, the insect people did not attack. Perhaps it was due to the food stored above their heads.
They treat the invaders as food reserves.
It's a rare opportunity for me to be smart, but my smartness backfired.
"When I attack later, those insect people may attack you. Just take care of yourself."
Liu Xun's legs felt a little weak. They had been fighting for more than an hour and were a little tired.
But Su Xiaocai had already rushed out, and her resolute back was very cruel.
Liu Xun cried in his heart. Su Xiaocai was indeed a genius who could fight against the Matrix in her teens. She did not have the sympathy of an ordinary person.
The big shield was raised, "Come on, I'm not afraid." Liu Xun encouraged himself.
Su Xiaocai drank two tubes of nutrient solution, and holding the magnetic-blade broadsword that he had taken out from the space before in both hands, he made a sound of breaking through the air, and blasted out a column of energy along the tip of the blade, using up all the energy of the broadsword in one strike.
Half of the defenseless insect-man mother's body was broken off.
The mother didn't respond.
I scratched my head with the tentacles backwards, but couldn't touch the slender body. I moved my hand a little further back and it felt strange, like I was pressing a pile of soft flesh.
Its meat should be elastic.
Turning his head, he saw that the broken back half of the body had deflated. The insect man who was about to be born absorbed the energy of the body and could not connect the body.
The insect mother body raised its head angrily, her eyes were sharp and murderous.
The three teammates in a defensive posture gasped and said that the mother body was ugly, but that was not entirely true.
Weird.
They had seen several sketches of the appearance of the insect-man mother in textbooks, but they had nothing to do with this thing.
The monster before us reflects the diversity of insect species.
The mother's head is very similar to that of a human, and her facial features are those of a standard beauty, except that she has three faces.
"If the water pipe on its head were a little thinner, it would probably look more like hair," commented Hu Ping.
"That's its tentacle." Liu Xun said.
Hu Ping laughed dryly and swallowed his saliva: "Of course I know it's a tentacle. If you ask me to talk without nagging, I will be nervous to death. After I go back, I can also do a profile of the mother insect man."
"Stop talking, it's coming." The mother body was attacked and the insect people rioted.
They realized that the humans coming out of the cave were not defenseless food.
A wave of insect men opened their bloody mouths and attacked.
Liu Xun increased the thrust of the mecha to stabilize the first impact, Wu Qingqing shot, and Hu Ping reaped the rewards.
"Kill faster, kill faster."
Not daring to relax for a moment, Wu Qingqing felt as if her soul had left her body, with her body strangely controlled by instinct. More and more insect men died under her mecha.
Under the threat of death, Hu Ping broke the limit of hand speed. If he didn't move fast, he would die. Sometimes he couldn't understand why such a cynical playboy wanted to follow Su Xiaocai.
As brave as the cannon fodder he disdained.
Liu Xun gritted his teeth and resisted, giving the two men opportunities to attack, and he couldn't even spare a moment to protect Su Xiaocai.
In a battle of this level, they seemed redundant even as assists.
Su Xiaocai's battle with the mother body continues.
The water pipes on top of the mother's head, which were also its tentacles, stood up and twisted into sharp weapons, targeting the mecha in the air.
The weapons were gathered and lowered together.
Su Xiaocai avoided the attack and threw out the magnetic blade sword.
The moment it touched the tentacles, the sword shattered into pieces, and metal debris scattered all over the sky.
Su Xiaocai stretched out the two dorsal wings behind him and chopped them down. The invisible energy knife cut towards the concentrated tentacles of the mother body.
This strike severed dozens of the mother's tentacles.
After repeated setbacks, the mother rolled up the food on her head and stuffed it into her mouth.
He stared at Su Xiaocai, confused. Where did this person come from?
Before attacking this planet, we clearly tried it out and found that there was no one so powerful.
How could Su Xiaocai let her swallow the food to recover? She quickly flashed to her, opened the cover on the side of the mecha's arm, took out the super-powerful bomb inside, removed the fuse, and threw it into its mouth.
Boom boom boom continuous bombing.
The mountains shook and the earth shook.
The mother struggled violently, and her tail, which was much shorter, hit the ground, creating a "basin" on the ground.
The mother's mouth had exploded into several petals at this time, like a blooming flower, and a fishy white liquid was flowing out.
Eyes like snake pupils stared at Su Xiaocai with hatred.
As the mother body, it is the core of the Zerg, and of course it has more capabilities than just that.
But if she wants to fight back against Su Xiaocai, she might have to give up her fertility.
Su Xiaocai's sneak attack was too sudden, and she immediately cut off her important tail, causing her to lose most of her means of attack.
Otherwise, with the sticky thread on its tail, it could wrap up the silver-black mecha in an instant.
Su Xiaocai is too much of a nuisance.
It roared, and all the insect people in the pit stopped moving outward and turned around to attack the silver-black mecha.
People say that two fists are no match for four hands, but Su Xiaocai is different. She put the newly opened pair of rear wings back and took out another mechanical wing.
After shaking it, a metal blade came out, and the material was the same as the big swords given to Ji Heng.
She ignored those insect people, and all those who rushed towards her became her victims.
The attack speed was incredibly fast, and she didn't even have to make a move on some of the Zerg men, as her three teammates helped her deal with them.
The mother body attacked even faster. It didn't care about the lives of the other insect people. It quickly grew new tentacles, surrounded Su Xiaocai and attacked her tightly.
Su Xiaocai was fully focused, and the performance of the machine had reached its highest level.
Wisdom 01: "Hahaha, exciting, exciting. This is how the protagonist needs to fight to be passionate." It analyzes the attack trajectories of all the insect men, and Su Xiaocai only needs to step on the spots to avoid the attacks.
This kind of analysis takes less than a second and requires extremely strong reaction ability.
Having a navigator like Wisdom 01 is a nightmare for the mechas and mecha pilots.
The computing power is so strong that it is super difficult to keep up with its analysis.
"Wow." Wu Qingqing finally saw Su Xiaocai's strength. Su Xiaocai, who was exerting all his strength, was so fast that he could not be seen anymore.
The real Su Xiaocai is so terrifying.
Hu Ping occasionally glanced at Su Xiaocai, and was deeply impressed. If he had admired her before, now he respected her from the bottom of his heart.
Awesome! He was able to stay so stable despite such intensive attacks.
Wisdom 03 is working with Wisdom 01 to remind them that they need to attack those insect people to protect Su Xiaocai.
The three people who were a little distracted immediately focused, determined not to hold Su Xiaocai back.
The combination of the two artificial intelligences is invincible.
The mother's body was covered in pits and holes, and its resentful eyes turned into careful scrutiny. This mecha was very different from any it had seen before.
Su Xiaocai suppressed it and tried every possible means to beat it, but it was unable to cause any effective harm to Su Xiaocai.
The mother made a decision. Her whole body trembled and something began to move under her skin.
The ground also vibrates with its movement.
Wisdom 01: "It just emitted a long-distance overclocked sound wave, predicting that the insect man was summoned back by it."
Su Xiaocai's eyes became deep, and she took the time to drink five more tubes of nutrient solution.
"I have to kill it."
Wisdom 01 laughed: "Of course, kill them all. The protagonist can do what others can't do."
Su Xiaocai put away the two swords and took out the third pair of mechanical wings, which were combined to form a spear.
The spear head rotated and pierced into the mother's flesh. The top broke apart and broke into multiple needle-shaped pieces that entered the mother's skin and flesh.
"Bang, bang, bang" explosions occurred continuously, and countless magnetic explosion beads were hidden in the needle.
The mother body stopped metamorphosis and used the last of its energy to repair itself. Even in this state, it is not dead yet. Its vitality is really strong.
Su Xiaocai only hated that this mecha was not strong enough. No, it was she who was not strong enough.
Those admirals and lieutenant generals driving outdated mechas can fight against the insect warriors. Her Black Wings are stronger than their mechas.
All in all, it can only be that her strength is not enough.
The changes and calls of the mother's body seemed to awaken something even more terrifying.
Something strange happened suddenly, and huge rocks kept falling from above.
A huge "werewolf" appeared in sight.
The evil energy in his body was released, as if it actually fell on every person.
Wu Qingqing and the other two felt like they were being squeezed all over and had difficulty breathing.
what is that?
"Run." Su Xiaocai gave an order, and the three of them chose a way to escape without thinking.
"03, what is that?" Hu Ping ran at full speed. It was not that they wanted to abandon Su Xiaocai, but staying would be a drag.
Wisdom 03: "Insect Warrior."
"This is the insect warrior." Wu Qingqing's scalp tingled and she didn't have the courage to fight at all.
"The warriors are probably many times more powerful than the mother body." Liu Xun had no idea about the strength of the insect people before, and the teachers at school couldn't tell him either.
Only those above the rank of Lieutenant General have dealt with insect warriors.
The teacher would only tell them not to come into contact with the insect warriors until they had defeated someone at the major general level.
The strength ceiling among the insect people, they can be crippled with just one encounter.
Wisdom 03 said: "According to the feedback from Navigator 01, the insect warrior we just encountered has a breath a hundred times stronger than the mother body."
"Then...what should I do with my sister Su? The mother body is not dead yet." Liu Xun was very worried. "Sister Su has been fighting with the mother body for half an hour. It's so intense. Can she withstand it?"
Wisdom 03, "Don't worry, if the master dies, you won't survive either."
I can't rest assured at all!
Does Wisdom 03 have a problem with its brain? No, that’s not the case. Only then did Hu Ping realize the specialness of Wisdom 03. Its fluent way of speaking was unlike the stiff answers that were piled up from big data.
"Wisdom 03, are you that kind of artificial intelligence?"
"What kind of artificial intelligence? I am just the navigator now. Please ask Mecha Master Hu Ping to pay attention to the front and rear 30 meters. There is a sticky silkworm man approaching quickly."
Almost at the moment when Wisdom 03 finished speaking, the sticky silkworm man appeared behind Hu Ping.
