Chapter 393: The crush of numbers

Tonight, Liang Yu would do his best to eliminate them.

Inside the Mountain Cave, Qu Baoguo and the Survivors were already on high alert.

They gripped their guns tightly, ready to face battle at any moment.

The moment the Zerg were completely driven out of the Mountain Cave by the thick smoke, Qu Baoguo shouted.

“Fire!”

Instantly, gunshots erupted, and bullets rained down on the Zerg.

Flames spewed from the muzzles, flickering in the darkness, illuminating the terrifying Zerg tide.

Under the barrage of gunfire, the Zerg fell one after another.

Some struggled in the air for a few moments after being hit before falling to the ground, while others were pulverized by the dense bullets.

The pungent smell of gunpowder mixed with the strange odor emitted by the Zerg, permeating the air.

They continuously killed the Zerg. In contrast, after being forced out of the Mountain Cave by the thick smoke, all the Zerg lingered at the cave entrance. Liang Yu estimated it was due to the thick smoke, which made them dare not enter the Mountain Cave for a short period.

While these cannon fodder Zerg lingered at the entrance, nearly twenty large Zerg Kings crawled out from the side. There were various types of Zerg, and many were even species Liang Yu had never seen before.

Those armored Zerg Kings actually moved to the front, acting as meat shields. With their protection, the casualties of the Zerg were significantly reduced for a time.

Other Zerg Kings, skilled in attack, had intended to rush into the Mountain Cave, but due to the influence of the thick smoke, they had not yet stepped inside.

At this moment, not only the Zerg, but also the Underground Monsters arrived at the scene.

However, their performance was beyond Liang Yu’s expectation. He had thought these Underground Monsters would directly charge and attack Qu Baoguo and his group.

Instead, these Underground Monsters started a buffet, grabbing a Zerg King, which was like a mountain of flesh, and began to eat.

Those few ‘mountain of flesh’ Zerg Kings, in Liang Yu’s eyes, seemed more like a reward specifically given to the Underground Monsters by that ‘old six’ of the Zerg. They stayed motionless in place, allowing the Underground Monsters to devour them.

The fresh green fluid from inside the ‘mountain of flesh’ Zerg Kings oozed out, making Liang Yu feel a wave of nausea, but the Underground Monsters ate with relish.

At this point, he lost his appetite for the food in his hands and could only cover it, carefully setting it aside.

At this time, five hundred Sixteen Type units, like a blue steel torrent, flew to the scene in perfect formation.

Their bodies gleamed with a cold blue light, and the roaring of their engines intertwined into a deafening symphony, making the air tremble slightly.

After arriving at the scene, the Sixteen Type units hovered steadily in the air, as if awaiting some command.

And just as he had said before, Liang Yu did not issue commands from the control platform.

He only edited the mission content, and then the system took over completely.

Based on the images transmitted back by the Sixteen Type units and the Satellite, the system precisely scanned everything around, with data flowing and analyzing rapidly on the screen.

Each Sixteen Type unit seemed to be endowed with independent intelligence, adjusting its position and posture quickly and orderly according to the system’s commands.

As the system’s commands thundered down, the Sixteen Type units, already having adjusted their formation in the air, like a well-trained steel army, divided into five groups and flew towards the surging Zerg and Underground Monsters below.

The first group of Sixteen Type units initiated the attack, after locking onto the target area.

Missiles poured down from beneath their bodies like rain, carrying scorching flames and deafening roars, precisely striking the dense Zerg formations.

The explosion’s fire instantly illuminated the dim sky, and the Zerg were torn apart by the powerful impact, with limbs and shattered bodies flying everywhere.

Immediately after, the second group of Sixteen Type units roared in.

Their concentrated firepower was directed at the monsters continuously emerging from underground.

Blinding laser beams, like sharp blades, cut through the monsters’ massive bodies.

The monsters roared in pain, struggling and writhing in the gunfire, but still emerged endlessly from underground.

The third and fourth groups also refused to be outdone, taking turns in the assault.

The roaring of the warplanes and the explosions of weapons in the sky intertwined, forming a magnificent battle symphony.

Although the Zerg and Underground Monsters resisted stubbornly, under the powerful firepower of this continuous bombardment, they gradually showed signs of decline.

Countless ammunition poured out, completely engulfing the positions of the Zerg and Underground Monsters in a sea of fire.

Thick smoke billowed, and flames soared into the sky. This intense bombardment made the earth tremble.

The people in the Mountain Cave heard the gunfire outside and felt the vibrations from the aftershocks of the explosions, and each one of them was incredibly excited.

Qu Baoguo had not deceived them; there really were reinforcements, and judging by the density of the gunfire, a considerable number of reinforcements had arrived.

Excited, they wanted to rush out of the Mountain Cave to join the battle, but Qu Baoguo stopped them, scolding them thoroughly.

However, it was only one round of bombing. Although most of the Zerg on the ground were dead, they were just cannon fodder and not very significant.

The key was the Zerg Kings. Excluding the four eaten by the Underground Monsters, of the remaining fourteen, only five were eliminated in this round of bombing.

The others had all sustained some injuries, but with the armored Zerg Kings bearing the brunt at the front, their injuries were not severe.

The Underground Monsters were not much better; only three of them had died, and the rest had sustained injuries of varying degrees.

These injuries did not scare them; instead, they ignited their ferocity. They could not hit the Sixteen Type units flying in the sky, so they set their sights on the Survivors in the Mountain Cave.

Within seconds of the bombardment, they charged wildly towards the Mountain Cave.

The sudden change disrupted the system’s process. Detecting the Underground Monsters’ abnormal movement, the system could only assign the third group to handle them.

The first and second groups, one was bombing the ground, and the other was waiting to seamlessly take over.

The third group of Sixteen Type units quickly changed direction and fired powerful energy pulses at the charging Underground Monsters.

The energy pulses streaked through the air in dazzling trajectories, hitting the first few Underground Monsters.

The massive bodies of those few monsters were blown backward, but more monsters behind them stepped on their comrades’ bodies and continued to charge forward.

At the same time, the first group of Sixteen Type units increased the intensity of their bombardment on the ground Zerg Kings.

Special armor-piercing rounds were fired, successfully penetrating the Zerg Kings’ hard carapaces, eliminating two more Zerg Kings.

The remaining Zerg Kings let out sharp cries, seemingly summoning something.

Suddenly, countless small Zerg drilled out from the ground nearby, flying towards the Sixteen Type units in the sky like a black tide.

New Zerg cannon fodder had arrived, and these were small Zerg. Their exaggerated numbers completely filled the entire screen that Liang Yu was watching.

However, this level of threat did not pose a danger to the Sixteen Type units in the sky. They had a fatal weakness: their size.

Although they were large compared to typical flying insects, with one being the size of an adult’s fist.
