Chapter 22 Ambushed Zerg
Mogansha thought about what Fang Senyan said and felt that it made a lot of sense, so he nodded and continued to move forward. Actually, he couldn't be blamed for this. Fang Senyan's skin was thick enough to charge into the sea of bugs and fight his way in and out seven times, but Mogansha didn't dare to be careless, so naturally he had to consider everything with caution as the priority.
After walking less than fifty meters, Mogansha walked to the sand on the side. There was a very obvious patch of soaked brown color there. He dug into the sand to check the depth of the brown patch, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Another one died, the body must have been eaten - may God bless his soul."
Fang Senyan nodded and continued walking forward. Along the way, Mogansha could always find the places where the escaping squad had lost members. Obviously, these members volunteered to stay behind and snipe the bugs behind them, but in the end, they were still torn apart and eaten alive by the fearless insect tide. After walking about a kilometer further, the two of them had a wider view. On the vast Gobi Desert ahead, a deep rock ravine appeared that had no visible end! This ravine was at least a hundred meters wide, appearing dark, eerie, and terrifying. There were still jagged rocks in it, but in places where the sunlight couldn't reach, there should be moss/saxaul and other plants growing.
Mogansha stared at the rift with worry and said:
"The Zerg have a very sensitive sense of smell. If these escaping guys think they can get rid of them by relying on the complex terrain, then they are very wrong."
Fang Senyan suddenly frowned and said:
"What's that smell? It seems to be the smell of rotting meat?"
Mogansha also twitched his nose:
"It's coming from the direction of the rift valley, strange, the Zerg's habit is not to waste food!"
Fang Senyan strode towards the rift valley. By this time, it was already bright, and he quickly walked to the edge of the rift valley, unable to resist covering his nose, but his pupils had already shrunk. At the bottom of the rift valley, three or four kilometers away from them, a very tragic massacre had occurred!
However, the target of this massacre was not humans, but at least hundreds of Zerg! Their corpses had probably been piled up here for more than twenty-four hours, so naturally they were beginning to rot in the high temperature of the desert Gobi. Once the sun came out, the decay would probably accelerate.
A look of shock also appeared in Mogansha's eyes. He suddenly pointed at a hydralisk below whose head had been torn off alive and shouted:
"Oh! God, the ones who ambushed this Zerg team were actually another group of Zerg! Human weapons could never cause such wounds!"
Ignoring the foul, putrid smell, Fang Senyan seemed to have already outlined the scene from two and a half days ago in his mind. The group of blood-stained, desperate warriors discovered the Great Rift Valley and rushed down without hesitation, with the group of greedy and crazy Zerg chasing closely behind. At this time, another group of hostile Zerg set their sights on them, and this Zerg cleverly launched a surprise attack from behind. First, they killed all the hydralisks that were lagging behind and moving relatively slowly, and then they encircled and annihilated the broodlings, whose troop composition was relatively uniform...
At this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly thought of the place where he encountered the low-level legendary creature "Scorching Maw". There were also Zerg battlefields where they were fighting each other! It seemed that the Zerg, like humans, also had many factions, and the conflicts between humans could be negotiated through negotiation, but the conflicts between Zerg could only be resolved by relying on acid, claws, and bites.
"AK, can you still find the escape route of those survivors?" Fang Senyan suddenly asked.
Mogansha hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a problem." As he spoke, he put on his helmet to block the stench, and then stood on the edge of the Great Rift Valley and looked down. Obviously, from the edge of the valley to the bottom was nearly twenty or thirty meters high. If they jumped down without any cushioning, they would die directly without waiting for the Zerg to arrive. With just a glance, Mogansha saw the gentle slope that the survivors used to escape, and they also blasted off several rocks that could be used for weight-bearing cushioning, so that most of the Zerg chasing behind jumped directly down, and the traces left behind were also scattered. At this point, the Zerg's pursuit formation was completely destroyed.
The two walked past the stinky battlefield. Among the Zerg corpses here, they also discovered the black Zerg, but their casualties were very small, apparently they were on the side of the ambushers. Then they saw where the survivors stopped to fight. That was a narrow area in the Great Rift Valley, which could be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. In this area, it was difficult for the Zerg troops to deploy, but humans could use the advantage of long-range attacks to cover the choke point with concentrated fire.
Mogansha looked at the scorch marks on the stones next to him and the Zerg corpses beside him and said:
"They should also have firebat, look, the position I'm standing in is quite good. If a firebat is hiding behind the stone, the hydralisk's spit cannot attack him. He must go around this corner, but at the same time, the hydralisk will be subjected to intense firepower suppression from the front."
The two continued to walk forward and came to this temporary阵地 (zhen di). There were needles (injecting stimulants), bullet casings, blood-stained bandages, and even opened military ration cans scattered here. It looked quite messy. But this place was actually a dead end! The rocks rolling down from above completely cut off their retreat!
Fang Senyan and Mogansha looked at each other, revealing joy! Because in this temporary阵地 (zhen di), there was very little blood, and no scattered armor appeared! What did this mean? It meant that this group of survivors had survived! The situation at that time could be imagined even with toes: because the hydralisks, the ranged units of the pursuing troops, were almost all killed by the ambushing Zerg, the survivors only needed to face the broodlings and rely on the strong performance of the firebat, so they were able to survive.
Next, it was this group of survivors facing the ambushing Zerg. At this time, Mogansha also found some corpses of those ambushing Zerg. Sharp black barbs grew on the bodies of these Zerg, and they had black scales. It seemed that they should be from the same tribe as the black Zerg they had discovered on the battlefield before, but the opponents were different.
For some reason, this group of black Zerg did not kill those survivors - or rather, did not kill them on the spot. Otherwise, even if there were no corpses in this temporary阵地 (zhen di), there would definitely be a lot of blood splattered everywhere.
"What is this?" Fang Senyan suddenly pointed to a light green stain on a stone next to him. At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and the rift valley was still quite dark, but this stain faintly emitted fluorescence in the darkness, making it easy to be discovered.
Mogansha carefully observed for a while, and then asked Fang Senyan for a hair and dipped it on it (because he was bald and had no hair to pull). After confirming that there was no poison, he reached out and touched it. When he retracted his finger, he immediately pulled out a long and viscous light green sticky thread.
"Looks like it's very viscous?"
Fang Senyan frowned. Then he found a lot of these light green spots on the surrounding rocks, shimmering faintly. There was nothing about this in the two people's data. Mogansha then found the direction in which those black Zerg retreated without much effort, but he also mentioned with some worry that the Zerg's core creature, the cerebrate, had a disgusting precedent of sucking human brains to obtain memories. If these black Zerg had this intention and habit, then there was no doubt that these survivors would be better off being eaten alive on the spot.
Fortunately, Fang Senyan and the others also made frequent discoveries along the way in the ***. For example, the scattered Camel cigarette butts showed that not only were the survivors not killed, but it seemed that their personal freedom was also treated to a considerable extent. The Zerg were obviously not a race that was good at hiding their thoughts and behaviors, so even Mogansha, who had been maintaining a pessimistic tone, had to admit that the chances of these survivors still being alive were very high.
After traveling through this great canyon for a full two hours, the two followed a narrow slope to the ground. If Mogansha's tracking ability was not so outstanding, they would have probably lost track of them long ago. As soon as they stepped onto the Gobi Desert, Fang Senyan suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling coming from behind. He immediately pounced forward and then turned around to make a blocking action!
He saw a very strange creature floating in the sky behind him at a height of about fifty meters. From a distance, this creature looked like a strange pear. It had brown skin, four long legs, and two spider-like chelicerae-like tentacles. There was a wide membrane connected between its four long legs. As the long legs moved and contracted, the membrane connected into one body could quickly generate thrust like a blower, allowing this creature to float easily in the air.
Just as Fang Senyan saw this creature, he saw a faint green fluorescence flowing through its four long legs, and then quickly gathering on the two tentacles, which immediately sprayed a mass of fluorescent green mucus towards Fang Senyan and the others.
There was no doubt that this mucus was definitely not something good to welcome them. Both Fang Senyan and Mogansha made dodging actions at the same time, pouncing in different directions. The flying speed of the mucus was not fast, so they were confident that they could avoid it.
But at this moment, the two people's eyes widened. The mass of green mucus actually split in the air, dividing into two, then two into four, then four into eight... There were even green mucus threads connecting the gaps between the divisions. When it flew over the heads of Fang Senyan and the others, it had actually formed a huge light green spider web with fluorescence! It enveloped down from the sky!
