Chapter 109 Swarm in Progress (4)
The entire battlefield was under the Zerg's control. The enemy's troop movements were as clear as writing on their faces. No sooner had they set out than the Zerglings were already waiting for them.
As for the Lurker Zergling, those slow tortoises, they were still tunneling underground on the periphery.
The overturned tank was utterly defenseless.
The Ravager Zergling's claw slashed at the exposed underbelly. It wasn't clear how many were killed with that one blow, but the blood on the blade was plentiful.
"Screech—"
A teeth-grinding sound echoed along with the panicked cries of the survivors.
"Hurry! I'm going to die!"
The tank commander slumped on the hatch, clutching the wound where his arm used to be. He looked up, barely able to see the rending claws, and prayed for the arrival of reinforcements.
It was his last hope, though a slim one...
Despite their small size, the Zergling's strength defied all scientific explanation.
They embedded themselves deep and tore relentlessly.
Gradually, they created a hole wide enough for a person to pass through, along with severely deformed steel plates around it.
The outside of the tank appeared large, but the interior offered shockingly little room to move.
"Help! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
Some tried to resist the Zerg, which was laughable. Just enjoy it, why resist? See, you're dead now.
Closing in with a Zergling, comparing reaction speeds, was like an old man swallowing poison.
At this point, the Queen Zergling finally arrived with great difficulty.
Despite being able to fly, the Queen's speed was...questionable.
She casually tossed out a few Creep Tumors, trying to repair the ravaged ground and deal with the bolder survivors.
How dare they wield weapons against her Zerg?
*Thwack*. A Parasite Zergling was launched, easily invading the bodies of the survivors. The Zerglings were old hands at this; after all, Lin Mo's old home still had over five hundred survivors.
Then, the two hundred survivors who felt like hotshots arrived.
"What a bunch of trash! Look at that tank, flipped over! I'm dying of laughter..."
The Zerglings were all hidden underground, even the other Ravager Zergling. Aside from a slightly larger bulge, everything was fine.
"Haha, looks like we have to do everything ourselves!"
The man who spoke laughed as he took out a weapon from his ring, aiming at the Ravager Zergling that had taken the first hit.
"Brothers! Let's go! That big guy doesn't look very fast. Kite him, everyone spread out!"
"Wait! The scouts said the monster is very fast..."
Before he could finish, the V-rank survivor impatiently cut him off. "Bullshit, that thing looks dumb, how fast could it be?"
Zong Hechang, the first V-rank evolver in Xiang'an City, had been very idle since reaching this level. There was no one who could fight him, so he was bored. Seeing a formidable opponent appear before him, he was more excited than seeing a little loli.
"Everyone, go! I'll go test it out first!"
With that, he strode forward, brandishing the cleaver in his hand. Dirt flew as he accelerated, with a tail of flames trailing behind him.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out.
The Ravager Zergling pretended to be unable to dodge, letting the cleaver strike its leg...uh, its toe.
It let out a dramatic, pained roar.
Zong Hechang was stunned. He instinctively retreated, looking at his cracked hand and the chipped cleaver, falling into thought.
"Was that acting a little exaggerated..."
The survivors behind him hadn't seen this. Seeing their boss so mighty, the underlings couldn't be too shabby.
Yelling, they charged with various weapons.
Wait, were some of them carrying shovels?
With a clatter, they began to climb and strike. For these IV-rank evolvers, the ten-meter-tall Ravager Zergling wasn't that difficult to scale; they could climb onto it in a few steps.
"Roar!"
(A faked, painful roar.)
The Ravager Zergling gently swayed its body, afraid of accidentally knocking the survivors off.
The survivor with the shovel swung it with all his might, trying to cut off even a small piece of the shell.
But it didn't budge, and his hand started to hurt?
"This is too fake!"
"What's wrong, Lao Su?"
"How can we not beat it? I survived so much before! How can't we take down such a simple guy!"
"..."
"Yeah, it's not even scratched, but isn't that scream too exaggerated? It's louder than my old lady...cough!"
"..."
Not all two hundred people climbed up. A small group of about ten remained to rescue the tank crews.
This time, the Queen had not controlled these crew member survivors. The order from the Overlord was to kill them all, not to waste any resources.
It was said that this order was personally given by the Queen before she left.
"Damn, even such thick steel plates have been torn apart? There shouldn't be anyone alive in there."
The rescue team member made a shocked gesture. The steel plate was as thick as his thigh!
"What are you muttering about? Watch ou..."
The middle-aged man turned his head, but before he could finish speaking, a pink, cute tentacle extended from inside the vehicle and pierced the speaking man's brain.
The expression on his face remained the same as before, an annoyed look of reprimand.
"Old..."
*Splurch.*
Double kill!
Humanoid creatures crawled out from inside all three vehicles, but one was clearly no longer human. It was as if two people had been sewn together front and back.
With a squelching sound, the combined being, like a tentacle monster, was supported by several tentacles on the ground, crawling slowly. It looked like it had explosive fighting power, and it really did.
Killing these survivors was as easy as killing chickens. However, the two human corpses became increasingly shriveled, as if they had been drained of all life force. Kidney, late stage of deficiency, hhh.
Seeing that the survivors had all climbed up, the Ravager Zergling stopped pretending.
The ground suddenly began to tremble and churn. Numerous adorable Zerglings, outnumbering the survivors tenfold, began their attack, a dense, maddened swarm rushing towards the Ravager Zergling.
"Holy shit! What is this! There are so many!"
Zong Hechang was shocked, his mind reeling. The dense mass of Zerglings with glowing red eyes was upon him in an instant.
He instinctively raised his blade, holding it in front of him, but in the next moment, the brand-new replacement steel blade shattered into fragments.
