Chapter 333: Abnormal insect swarm

Liang Yu didn’t know how the five Underground People would evade the General-purpose Star Destroyer’s carpet bombing this time.

The surroundings had already been leveled, with not a single object taller than thirty centimeters above ground, meaning they would have to directly withstand the General-purpose Star Destroyer’s missile bombardment.

After the General-purpose Star Destroyer was ready, Liang Yu gave the command to bomb.

Upon receiving Liang Yu’s order, the General-purpose Star Destroyer above the Underground People deployed missiles in a staggered manner. The missiles struck the ground, causing violent explosions, and the sky-high flames enveloped the Underground People.

After two rounds of missile bombardment, Liang Yu still didn’t stop the attack. The General-purpose Star Destroyer’s lasers targeted the Underground People’s location, and thick laser beams shot straight down.

This attack lasted for one minute, consuming one-third of the General-purpose Star Destroyer’s energy. Liang Yu didn’t believe the Underground People could still survive after such an assault.

The bombed area was still shrouded in smoke and dust. Liang Yu instructed the vice-captain of one General-purpose Star Destroyer to monitor the area, while his own attention shifted to the Zerg.

These Zerg were the most troublesome. Individually, they were easy to deal with, but unfortunately, these unlucky things always appeared in swarms.

Furthermore, the Zerg Liang Yu encountered today were likely the lowest-tier cannon fodder. Their fearless charge, attempting to burst out of the underground tunnels without regard for casualties, was enough to confirm this.

When Liang Yu was searching for the Mother Zerg, he encountered a group of Zerg that were particularly afraid of death; they would not only ambush but also flee after attacking.

This was completely different from the Zerg in front of him. What he found most annoying were these mindless Zerg, which often appeared in extremely large numbers.

Liang Yu checked the records. After delegating this area to the System, in the short few minutes he spent dealing with the Underground People, the Zerg launched over twenty waves of charges.

The System probably found it a headache, as it was already mobilizing nearby Sixteen Type to bolster the defense.

Liang Yu looked at the Zerg constantly flying out of the pit, and that scalp-tingling sensation returned.

So many! There were simply too many!

Liang Yu didn’t understand. He had merely bombed a Town, so why did it cause so much trouble?

These Zerg, something felt off about them.

A few more minutes passed. Looking at the data chart displayed by the System, the number of Zerg rushing out still hadn’t decreased; instead, there was a subtle trend of increase. This abnormality made Liang Yu ponder more deeply.

What exactly was beneath that made these Zerg so desperate? It seemed like they were constantly rushing out, but when Liang Yu looked from a different angle, he discovered something else.

Perhaps they weren’t rushing out at all, but rather constantly using their bodies to prevent outsiders from entering the underground.

Although Liang Yu found this interesting, he didn’t intend to go underground.

As for using drones or Sixteen Type for reconnaissance, theoretically, there should be no problem, as long as they entered through the tunnels near the deep pit.

Entering was easy, but exploring and moving around inside would be very difficult.

Just at this pit entrance, there were already so many Zerg. Did they really think there were no Zerg in the other connected entrances?

That was impossible. Just because you didn’t see them come out didn’t mean there were no Zerg inside.

Liang Yu was certain that if he sent Sixteen Type or drones inside, they would be immediately overwhelmed and destroyed by the swarming Zerg.

Although he couldn’t send Sixteen Type or drones for reconnaissance, he could pour things into it from the ground.

Not to mention, he had plenty of fuel and specialized incendiary bombs, so there was no need to conserve them.

So, he released many drones, carrying large amounts of fuel and incendiary bombs, to the entrances of the other pits.

With a command from Liang Yu, large amounts of fuel were poured into the tunnels by the drones, followed by the specialized incendiary bombs.

Instantly, a large amount of fuel ignited, and a roar came from within the tunnels. In nearby areas, flames spewed out from the cave entrances.

At the same time, the Zerg let out ear-piercing shrieks, but this did not stop the Zerg from pouring out, though their numbers were reduced.

Then Liang Yu had a sudden idea: what would happen if he sealed this entrance?

Thinking of it, Liang Yu acted. He threw a large number of freezing bombs at the cave entrance where Zerg were still continuously pouring out. Immediately, the entrance was quickly covered by a layer of ice, and the surging Zerg were trapped within the ice.

Liang Yu worried that the ice might melt easily, so he deliberately threw more freezing bombs, completely sealing the entrance.

Liang Yu roughly guessed what the situation inside was like: a dual experience of ice and fire, with the bottom being roasted by flames and the top frozen by cold air—enough to give the Zerg a hard time.

At this moment, Liang Yu was somewhat disappointed. Why say this? Liang Yu had prepared three Satellites, fully charged and waiting for prey to take the bait.

His targets were not the Underground People and the Zerg, but the strange black viscous creature he had fought last time.

He had initially thought that after bombing the entire Town, such creatures would emerge from the other two locations. Who knew that after waiting so long, there were only the Underground People and the Zerg?

Perhaps he was overthinking it; there should only be one such creature in the entire Town. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Even if there were such creatures before, they were either driven away or devoured by it.

These three attacks would likely have to be used on the Zerg below.

For the Satellite’s first charged attack, Liang Yu locked onto the pit he had sealed with ice.

As Liang Yu gave the command to fire, the Satellite shot a dazzling beam of light directly towards the ice-sealed pit, completely engulfing it.

The moment the Satellite beam struck, the ice layer shattered, and even the surrounding land was blasted into a large crater. The frozen Zerg, after being bathed in the light beam, had already dissipated into specks of starlight.

The light beam lasted for nearly two minutes. Due to the destruction of the ice layer at the pit entrance, coupled with the light speed attracting their attention, Zerg continuously flew into the light beam.

This resulted in countless Zerg casualties in less than two minutes.

After the first Satellite’s attack stopped, the remaining Zerg surged out of the pit like mad, looking at the Sixteen Type guarding near the entrance, and launched an even more frenzied attack.

Seeing the Zerg pouring out again, Liang Yu couldn’t help but complain.

These Zerg were truly prolific! He had eliminated so many, yet there were still so many. This made Liang Yu feel as if he had poked a Zerg nest to encounter so many Zerg.

Although he was complaining internally, his attack on these Zerg did not stop. The second Satellite’s attack was already prepared, but Liang Yu did not immediately order the attack.

He was waiting, wanting to know what would appear if he spent time clearing out all this cannon fodder.
