Chapter 287: The targeted queen

Although he wanted to directly kill the Mother Zerg, he was more interested in finding the location of other Zerg through it.

Liang Yu knew very well that these Zerg must have a dwelling place.

After all, he had investigated this entire area with the Satellite, and whether it was in the buildings of the Town or in abandoned houses and Mountain Caves in the wilderness, no trace of the Zerg had been found. He couldn’t understand it; even if they were underground, the entrance should have been found, but even with twenty-four Satellites, that entrance couldn’t be located.

Looking at the images transmitted by the Satellite, Liang Yu controlled Satellite Xiaohan to lock onto the Zerg below that were already preparing to attack.

After locking onto the Zerg, the Satellite emitted a powerful freezing beam from its bottom, instantly illuminating the dark Zerg below.

The Zerg were originally densely moving towards the base, but the moment they came into contact with the freezing beam, their movements came to an abrupt halt.

A cold aura spread with astonishing speed, and the Zerg’s bodies gradually froze, from outside to inside, layer by layer, turning into hard ice.

Their antennae, wings, and bodies were all frozen, as if time had stopped at that moment.

This time, even the Mother Zerg was no exception; despite it continuously secreting mucus to try and break free, it, along with the flying Zerg, turned into an ice sculpture.

The surrounding environment was also affected; the roads and broken buildings on the ground were covered in frost, becoming crystal clear.

The air, which was originally forty to fifty degrees Celsius, also became bitingly cold, making people shiver involuntarily.

Liang Yu then had the Satellite continue to emit the freezing beam, ensuring the Zerg were completely frozen.

In the aftermath of this, not only was the gate of Fifth Master’s original base frozen, but two-thirds of the entire building was also encased in ice armor.

The temperature inside was also greatly affected, dropping to around ten degrees Celsius.

This was a hardship for the Survivors inside; they were already stripped down to their underwear, and now, they were all frozen like monkeys, jumping and scurrying around.

They were all trying to resist the cold by shaking their bodies.

Such an anomaly also made them somewhat worried, and a few of the braver individuals had already gone to the doors and windows to check.

When everyone saw the Zerg turned into ice sculptures outside, exclamations of amazement rose one after another.

No one knew what had happened to cause the Zerg to all freeze instantly.

They didn’t bother to consider these questions; the most important thing now was to tell Fifth Master, Qu Baoguo, and the others.

When they learned of this news, everyone was very surprised, including Qu Baoguo.

Some even forcibly attributed this credit to Xiaoma and Qu Baoguo, giving the reason that perhaps the freezing bomb they used had somehow reactivated later, and with even greater power.

Qu Baoguo’s face was full of dark lines when he heard this, and he even thought this person was truly shameless.

He still knew the effect of the freezing bomb; he had used it before.

It was just not the time to pursue this; the immediate priority was to leave here, or everyone would be frozen to death.

At this point, Fifth Master gave a suggestion: to directly move into the basement, where the temperature should be around twenty degrees Celsius.

Everyone knew they couldn’t delay now, or they would truly be frozen to death, so they immediately agreed to this proposal with a unanimous vote.

Those Survivors who were relying solely on their righteous spirit to resist the cold all quickly rushed into the basement.

On the other side, Liang Yu had already put on his Mechanical Armor and arrived in front of the base, carefully examining the Mother Zerg before him.

Just as Liang Yu approached, and a few mechanical arms extended from his back to grasp the Mother Zerg, an unexpected event occurred.

Cracks suddenly appeared in the ice layer on the Mother Zerg’s body, and as the Mother Zerg inside struggled, the number of cracks increased.

Liang Yu was startled; the Mother Zerg’s time to break free from the ice had exceeded his data calculations; according to his calculations, it should have taken at least three more minutes to break free.

Now, it was beyond Liang Yu’s expectation; the time to break free from the ice had been brought forward so much.

The Mother Zerg struggled a few more times, and with the flapping of its wings, the ice frozen to its body shattered and fell to the ground.

It was at this moment that Liang Yu took out a locator and embedded it into the opponent’s abdomen.

At this point, the Mother Zerg broke free from the ice layer, revealing a part of its limbs that continuously struck the ground, and its mouthparts sprayed a corrosive liquid towards Liang Yu.

Liang Yu agilely dodged to the side; the liquid splashed onto a nearby building, and that ice-sealed building was instantly corroded, along with the ice layer, forming a large pit.

Liang Yu knew he couldn’t delay any longer; he activated the Mechanical Armor’s laser weapon and fired fiercely at the parts of the Mother Zerg that had not yet broken free.

The Mother Zerg let out a sharp shriek after being hit, a sound that Liang Yu found particularly familiar.

Liang Yu suddenly remembered that this sound had a similar frequency to what he had encountered before.

Could this Mother Zerg be sending a danger signal to the Zerg Hive? Thinking of this, Liang Yu stopped his attack and looked around.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Mother Zerg broke free from the last of the ice on its legs and flew towards the center of the Town.

Looking at the direction the Mother Zerg left in, Liang Yu’s expression gradually darkened; he still couldn’t believe that there were humans siding with the Zerg.

Liang Yu gritted his teeth, drew his energy sword, and directly sliced the frozen Zerg into several pieces, then controlled Satellite Xiaohan to re-lock onto the escaping Mother Zerg.

After glancing at the Mother Zerg’s location, he activated the Mechanical Armor’s flight function and pursued the Mother Zerg in the direction it had fled.

While in the air, Liang Yu saw the Mother Zerg burrow into a half-collapsed building.

He landed near the building, activated stealth and wall-penetration, and brazenly entered the collapsed building.

As soon as he entered the building, he felt an unusual aura assault him.

Here, he found many Survivor corpses, clearly intentionally used by someone to hide the Zerg’s entrance.

Liang Yu cautiously explored forward, every step alert to his surroundings; although he was in stealth, indiscriminate attacks could still harm him.

Suddenly, he found strange symbols and lines on the wall, like a guide or some kind of warning.

Following these markings, he arrived at a room deep inside.

Inside the room, there was a strange man, guarded by several smaller but extremely fierce-looking Zerg.

Looking at the man guarded by the Zerg, Liang Yu guessed that this might be the key to why the Zerg had been hiding their tracks all along.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to find the Zerg’s location for so long.

According to the signal from the locator on the Mother Zerg’s body, its current location completely overlapped with his own.

The strange man seemed to sense something and turned to look towards the entrance.

Liang Yu noticed that only the whites of the man’s eyes remained.
