Chapter 19 ,.!

Fang Senyan could now see that although the human firepower was fierce, it could not withstand the Zerg's desperate and fearless onslaught. In just a few minutes, the Zerg's attack line had advanced at least twenty meters. If it continued at this rate, the human defense line would be in direct contact with the zerglings in, at most, five minutes!

Even in the real world, there's a well-known rule: once someone gets within two meters, the killing power of firearms is often less effective than melee weapons. What's more, these soldiers were facing the sharp teeth and claws of zerglings, known for their animalistic instincts.

At this moment, a commander was yelling urgently, making gestures to the rear, seemingly wanting someone to retreat first. However, the vehicle being protected not only didn't move, but several people in white powered armor suits emerged from it. There were men and women among them, with a distinct red cross painted on their armor. The medkits in their left hands were shaped like shields, with one side facing outwards to parry enemy attacks, and the inside containing various medicines for easy access.

The group was led by a middle-aged man with glasses. He wasn't wearing powered armor, but looked kind and dignified. He said a few words to the tense machine gunners around him, something like, "I'm with you." The machine gunners cheered, and a faint white light flickered on their bodies as their rate of fire suddenly increased. Fang Senyan was very familiar with this state, clearly using the stimulant ability that came standard with the armor.

At this time, the people in white powered armor had dispersed among the soldiers. Blue light flickered in their hands, then transformed into water-like specks of light above each soldier's head, slowly merging into their bodies. It seemed like they were restoring their health. Mogansha said in surprise,

"I saw this information at the Steel Outpost base. These seem to be medics? Some humans in this world have also begun to awaken their mental power to a slight degree. After training, they become pretty good battlefield doctors who can convert mental power into continuous healing effects."

Under the powerful effect of the stimulant, the Zerg's slowly advancing line was quickly pushed back, leaving behind a mess of flesh and blood. The Zerg's attack front, which had been less than fifty meters from the human line, was now driven back to about a hundred meters.

However, at this moment, the Zerg suddenly changed their formation. They first retreated like a tide beyond the range of the tanks. The ten or so leader-level zerglings suddenly gathered together and began to form a thick, triangular cone formation. Clearly, the next step was to use them as the vanguard, with the remaining smaller zerglings following behind, charging forward with unstoppable force!

Mogansha immediately said anxiously,

"These guys are in big trouble!"

Fang Senyan looked at the remaining two or three leader-level zerglings in the Zerg's ranks and said decisively,

"No, I have to go support them."

Mogansha thought for a moment and said,

"The attack power of ordinary zerglings is probably only around 30 points. It is said that if there are metal mines near their spawning pool, their attack power will increase, but it won't exceed 40 points at most. Their terror lies in their fast attack speed. Considering your special ability, it's almost impossible to break your defense. The only thing you need to worry about is being hit with a critical strike. But there are so many zerglings down there... I think you'd better go around and join the machine gunners first."

"No, no, no, joining those guys seems like a good idea, but it's actually much more dangerous. Clearly, they will push me to the front line. If a few leader-level zerglings can survive when they charge over, then I'll be under even more pressure. More importantly, the impression I leave on them won't be deep enough. I won't get enough benefits."

Mogansha said in a daze,

"Are you planning to go around from the side alone?"

Fang Senyan nodded seriously and said,

"Why not? According to the data collected at the Steel Whip base before, the zerglings' attack power can't reach my defense-breaking standard. As the most basic unit of the Zerg, their advantages are their amazing numbers, fast movement speed, and fast attack speed. So, besides their low health, a low critical hit rate is also their flaw. In actual combat tests, it's probably only about 1%. So, there shouldn't be any problems."

Mogansha pondered and said,

"If you put it that way, the risk is indeed reduced to an acceptable level. Ahem, although I'm sick now, I'm capable of helping you escape. But I still have to say, charging into the Zerg sea alone... is really quite dangerous."

Fang Senyan said confidently,

"Don't forget that I'll save the stimulant to escape. As long as I leave the battlefield during the stimulant's duration so I'm not surrounded, I can activate the acceleration effect of another soul equipment to escape. The main attraction for these insects is still that surrounded human team. And the machine gunners on the distant position are protected by those medics, so they won't die so easily. If I can divert some pressure from the side, it should help them hold on."

After saying that, Fang Senyan gulped down a bottle of Flesh Bear gene potion, then put on the purchased jumpsuit armor. Although this thing is incredibly strong, it has been reinforced at the joints and is very well sealed. It's fine in battle, but if you wear it for normal activities, it's no different than wearing a diving suit, unbearably hot, so he didn't wear it when there was no danger.

Then he picked up the Prometheus III flamethrower. Because this thing has unlimited ammo, Fang Senyan test-fired it whenever he had time after getting it, and he had long since mastered it. Then he put it on his back, put on his helmet, and ran towards the battlefield from the side.

At this time, almost all the machine gunners were pouring firepower at the charging zergling leaders, and even the three siege tanks began to focus their fire, because everyone knew how terrifying it would be if they were allowed to reach the front. But there were still a few outer machine gunners who noticed Fang Senyan's behavior with the fiery red Prometheus III flamethrower on his back, and couldn't help but whistle and shout while pouring out firepower:

"Hey! The good news is that we seem to have reinforcements coming. The bad news is that these reinforcements seem to be just one person. Is he trying to commit suicide?"

Indeed, in the minds of these soldiers, even though firebats equipped with flamethrowers are truly the natural enemies of zerglings (lings), multiple firebats, as long as they charge in groups, can completely slaughter swarms of zerglings with their area-of-effect damage. But the premise is that the number of firebats must reach a certain number, and the opponent cannot have ranged units such as hydralisks, otherwise they will be directly killed by the strong acid before they can even reach the hydralisks.

What's more, firebats have a very fatal weakness, which is that they have no anti-air capability at all. Therefore, in the current human intergalactic alliance organization, firebats are usually built as a whole unit, and they are called to wherever there are special circumstances. Therefore, in these small-scale bases, there are usually no firebats, which are highly targeted units.

Just when these soldiers thought that Fang Senyan would be instantly swallowed up by the Zerg sea, Fang Senyan stopped about fifty meters away from the edge of the Zerg sea. The zerglings that were running at high speed towards the front position suddenly stirred. Fang Senyan took a few more steps forward, and immediately more than ten small zerglings broke away from the group and charged out with bared fangs and claws. When they entered Fang Senyan's range, Fang Senyan pulled the triggers of the launchers with both his left and right hands at the same time, and two fire snakes more than twenty meters long sprayed out at the same time, completely engulfing the ten or so zerglings!

Suddenly attacked by the flames, these ten or so zerglings were set on fire alive. While screaming in pain, they tried their best to scatter and run away, but Fang Senyan's perception of up to 23 points allowed him to accurately predict their S-shaped evasion routes. As a result, these zerglings were burned alive after only running five or six meters! Even Fang Senyan couldn't deliberately leave one alive to test the attack power of this group of zerglings.

"This attack power..." Fang Senyan himself was very surprised, because the Prometheus III flamethrower is a weapon exclusive to this world. Not only can it not be carried, but it will be automatically destroyed after the owner leaves this world. Therefore, Fang Senyan couldn't see its detailed information such as its attack power at all! Now it seems that its attack range and attack power are probably far above the standard equipment of other firebats, but when you think about its purchase difficulty and value, and the fact that it can only deal with the lowest-level zerglings, it can only be described as worth the money.

After pulling another wave of zerglings, Fang Senyan tested the attack power of this group of zerglings, which actually reached about 35 points. It seems that, as Mogansha said, there are indeed metal ores near the spawning pool of this group of zerglings, so their attack power will increase. However, for Fang Senyan at this time, the critical point for breaking the defense is stuck at 40 points of attack power, so 30 points of attack power and 37 points of attack power are no different, they are both forced to deduct one point of health.
