Chapter 41 "Wishing" for Points

In the end, Mingmei didn't say anything about everyone "wishing" for points.

People always need something to look forward to.

Especially when things aren't going well, like dreaming of splitting five thousand points evenly, only to almost get tilted by a Zerg team with less than a hundred points combined!

"Aaaaaah! Oh my god!! All pseudo-mothers!!!"

Lu Xiaoyao watched her defenses get swarmed with dense pseudo-mother larvae, and her scalp went numb!

Even though her defense was currently the strongest, Lu Xiaoyao's heart still trembled every time she heard the bang, bang of the pseudo-mother larvae hitting her shield!

"Quick, think of something! They're eating my shield!"

Lu Xiaoyao shouted, and many players from the starships lined up behind her, forming a line of defense screens, flew out in their mechs.

There was no choice; there were too many pseudo-mother larvae. Lu Xiaoyao couldn't hold on, so they had to help clear out the larvae.

"I've already ordered people to sneak attack the adult pseudo-mothers. Hold on a little longer."

Sun Yunzhong comforted Lu Xiaoyao. Before she could ask anything else, everyone saw Mu Chen and Mingmei's mechs, one black and one white, weaving through the dark universe, heading towards the Zerg team centered around the pseudo-mothers and surrounded by black armored beetles.

"Please be careful of larval overflow when dealing with the pseudo-mothers."

If Mu Chen hadn't told him that Su Bo was carrying an excessive amount of incendiary bombs, Sun Yunzhong wouldn't have let Mu Chen and Mingmei risk directly attacking the pseudo-mothers.

Otherwise, the pseudo-mother larvae released by ten adult pseudo-mothers would have devoured them, leaving not even bones behind.

"Roger."

After Mu Chen and Mingmei responded, Su Bo suddenly slowed down, landing not far from the Zerg, while Mingmei's Jin Yi charged straight at the black armored beetles, which were like small mountains, and started beating them up!

Probably because Mingmei had played a black armored beetle in the first half of the game, she had a better understanding of their defenses and abilities. She attacked the unexposed base of their carapace wings!

Mingmei manipulated the mech to punch the black armored beetle's exposed back.

Instantly, the black armored beetle that Mingmei attacked was clearly enraged, and its huge body began to move.

However, it wasn't as agile as Mingmei's mech. Mingmei flew around the black armored beetle, constantly striking the connection between the wing base and the body.

The reason why the carapace wings could increase flight speed and agile responses when deployed was mainly because this connection was more resilient than other places, providing a base for the high-frequency vibration of the wings to drive the body's movement.

Mainly because it was resilient, its defense was relatively weak. Moreover, apart from the belly that was usually protected, the area under the carapace wings was the most vulnerable part of its entire body surface.

Mingmei's repeated attacks not only enraged the black armored beetle, but the pseudo-mother's attacks also changed from long-range spray to close-range attacks.

Unfortunately, the pseudo-mother larvae that were suddenly sprayed out at close range were all taken out by Mu Chen with one shot per kid from not far away.

Pseudo-mothers: ??

"Their attacks seem weaker."

Lu Xiaoyao had long gotten used to the constant attacks, and she would occasionally turn off her shield to shake off the pseudo-mother larvae like dust.

Then, she would turn it on again instantly. With each back and forth, the pseudo-mother larvae that fell down and rushed back, along with those constantly charging forward, kept stacking up. Lu Xiaoyao had already roughly estimated the number and speed of the pseudo-mothers' spraying.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoyao was the first to notice when the offensive suddenly decreased.

"They seem to be held back by Mingmei and the others." Other players who came to help Lu Xiaoyao clear the overwhelming pseudo-mother larvae had already seen Mingmei going up to fight the black armored beetles, and Mu Chen blocking the pseudo-mothers' sneak attacks on Mingmei.

"Let's work harder and clear out these pseudo-mother larvae."

While Sun Yunzhong was commanding everyone, some players were irritated and grumpy because of the small but aggressive larvae:

"This pseudo-mother is only worth 7 points, it's too much! One of them brings so many 'helpers', a unique insect! And it's only worth seven points?" The players grumbled as they cleared the larvae, "Damn, I could have gotten seventy points with this effort!"

"Yeah, this pseudo-mother is just disgusting!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Then, if you have the ability, come up and blast the adult pseudo-mother, then run away. Seven points is still fast."

Some players suggested a strategy of directly stealing the base, but they were warned by Hu Yue: "First of all, you have to be able to sneak attack. Like now, the black armored beetles are guarding it, what are you going to kill?

Also, if you directly kill the adult pseudo-mother and run away, that's only something you can do in the game. Do you know that if you do this outside the game, if the surroundings are barren stars, that's fine, but if there are any inhabited planets nearby, you can go to a military court and end up in a star prison."

"I'm just saying it in the game, right?"

The player who was criticized by Hu Yue knew he was wrong and argued softly before saying nothing more. Mingmei's attacks on the black armored beetles had reached the point where the beetles were about to explode. The black armored beetle erupted!

Instantly, Mingmei felt a flash of cold light in front of her. The black armored beetle's carapace wings were about to open. It wanted to give this guy who was running amok on its back a good look!

"Meimei, retreat."

At that moment, Mu Chen's voice reached Mingmei's ears. Without thinking, she retreated, and then an armor-piercing bullet hit the weak point of the black armored beetle that was revealed when it opened its wings!

Jin Yi retreated for less than a second before the black armored beetle suddenly stopped all its actions.

Life instantly went to zero, but from the outside, there wasn't a single wound except at the base of the wings. The armor-piercing bullet exploded inside its body, but it still didn't destroy the outer shell of its body, which showed how solid its body was.

In the instant that the black armored beetle's life vanished, the Jin Yi and Su Bo mechs directly climbed over its corpse, and even the other insects didn't seem to react.

They were still stuck on their teammate's previous sentence:

"Damn, I can't take it anymore! I'm going to kill them!"

As a result, they suddenly saw two figures, one black and one white, who were very small compared to them, come in from the side of the black armored beetle.

Pseudo-mothers: 0..0!!

The black armored beetles guarding the other sides seemed to be unaware.

Then, Sun Yunzhong and the others suddenly saw a waterfall of fire spewing out from the middle of the black armored beetles.

The flames even sprayed onto the black armored beetles beside them, and the black armored beetles were so frightened that they began to fly away from the spot!

"All attack! Now's the time!"

Sun Yunzhong saw the changes in the distance, his eyes shining with excitement, and he immediately shouted into the public channel!

"Don't let any of the insects get away!"

With a command, the starships advanced directly, and the other players piloting mechs also rushed up!

In the fire, Mingmei and Mu Chen flew away from the huge fireball. As they flew, Mu Chen said, "Not dead yet, be careful hunting."

"Oh oh oh!!"

As soon as they heard it wasn't dead, the players became even more awake!

That's all points!
