    No one noticed what was happening in the corner of this small geological survey ship. The other aliens were worrying about the Zerg.  Although the early automatic weapon positions and projection canisters effectively stopped the progress of the Zerg, with the emergence of long-range attack bugs, the attack of the projection canisters was also greatly reduced.  You know, although it is disposable, compared with other high-energy weapons, this kind of disposable high-energy weapon is really too low in terms of cost-effectiveness.  This is tantamount to increasing the cost of this weapon in disguise.  And after traveling through several galaxies with no results, even large mercenary groups have to consider the cost of the current war for the final balance of payments.  They are not those civilizations and do not have that much financial resources. They are not as good as those advanced civilizations. Most of their weapons are self-produced. They have to waste precious hard currency to purchase some advanced weapons and equipment.  And how much stable income can a mercenary group have in hard currency?  Silicon crystal is not only used as hard currency, but more importantly, it is also the main energy carrier and material conversion raw material in advanced civilizations!  Even though new silicon crystal mining areas are discovered every day, there are only a few that can get the mercenary group to intervene.  The sources of many of their silicon crystals are remote and dangerous mineral stars or abandoned mining areas with extremely low yields, or even mining clusters.  There are also some people who were cheated or robbed from small and medium-sized civilizations.  The only way left is to take on some extremely difficult and dangerous tasks. In order to attract people, these tasks often use hard currency such as silicon crystals to settle the rewards.  If you can accept an expedition mission, you can go to the Death Star Territory. If you are lucky, you will find some ancient ruins or wreckage, and there is a high chance that you will find a lot of remaining silicon crystals.  However, large mercenary groups often do not take on expedition missions. It is not only a problem of scale, but also a problem of personnel - the large mercenary groups they fight in tough battles are all strong and brave soldiers, and there are fewer people than the expedition mercenary group.  But elite experts are completely different!  Originally, these large mercenary groups thought that this Zerg mission would be a good job, but they never expected that it would be a big pit, and it would be difficult to climb out after jumping in.  The current mercenary groups are already in a difficult position.  You can never retreat, but you can't attack recklessly.  If we plan carefully now, we may still have some fiscal surplus when we complete this mission. If we squander too much now, we may have a fiscal deficit by then, which will be really troublesome.  But unlike these mercenaries, those civilized forces don't have to worry so much, especially those mid-to-high-level civilizations with a single heir. They have plenty of resources and don't need to be tight at all. What they need most now is to defeat or capture the Zerg as soon as possible.  , to obtain Zerg technology or complete genetic samples.  It can be said that the relationship between these two parties is not good, but the same two parties cannot be missing each other. One needs someone to be cannon fodder and run errands, and the other needs advanced heavy fire support and various tasks to make money. In short, the relationship is complicated.  !  Therefore, at this time, Li Ping, who organized the Zerg to continue attacking, was keenly aware that the counterattack speed of these aliens had slowed down and the level of counterattack was also lower. In the end, he simply did not throw away the cans.  Li Ping, who was somewhat undecided, did not increase his troops for the time being. Instead, he withdrew the Hydralisks and organized the bellworms together to attack the last few automatic weapon positions.  After being killed by a lot of bombs, these bell bugs actually rushed directly into the automatic weapons positions. They destroyed most of the automatic weapons positions without seeing any counterattack from the aliens.  This abnormality made Li Ping a little worried.  Although there are many new types of detection mosquitoes among aliens, the detection mosquitoes cannot detect their internal situation. Facing aliens with advanced technology, Li Ping himself will not take it lightly.  "Louis, why do you think these aliens suddenly changed their gender? They didn't even fight back at all?" Li Ping was really uneasy, so he came to discuss with Louise.  "Master, although I don't know what they want to do, it does not hinder our attack. These vanguard troops only account for a small part of our Zerg army, and their loss will not have a big impact on our strength." Because there is no complexity as a human being.  Psychologically, Louise sometimes looks at problems more fundamentally.  "That's right." When Li Ping heard this, he also figured it out. He was still too suspicious. "Since we are testing, we should test it to the end." Anyway, these vanguard troops are just drizzle, and it would not be a pity to lose them, so they gathered together another batch.  After the bellworms, Li Ping reorganized the remaining cockroaches, hydralisks and these bellworms into a Zerg army with a number of more than 80 million and began to attack.  And those Cannon Scorpions cautiously followed behind the large troops to provide support.  Unlike self-propelled artillery on Earth, the Cannon Scorpion was originallyIt has many jointed limbs, walks very steadily, and has the instinct to keep its tail steady. Therefore, even if the Cannon Scorpion is running at full speed, it can launch self-destructing worms, and the accuracy will not be much different.  Of course, compared to those alien weapons, the power of the Cannon Scorpion is naturally much lower, but relying on its physique and strength, it is also good at melee combat. A giant tail swept across the ordinary small and medium-sized alien vehicles.  Everything can be blown away!  And whether it is on the slope of a pothole or in the corner of a mountain stream, the Cannon Scorpion can find the best shooting position to support the battlefield ahead.  Although it has only played a few more times than the Lurker, their records are vastly different.  Therefore, with the strong support of the Cannon Scorpion, the troops in the front attacked even more fiercely. After destroying all the automatic weapon positions blocking the road, nearly 10 million troops were left.  As for the other positions that were scattered around or could be bypassed, Li Ping didn't bother to care about them and just let them go.  However, it turns out that those aliens are not that easy to fight. After the Zerg troops advanced a short distance, the mountains shook and almost half of the Zerg troops were wiped out.  Li Ping knew what it was without even looking.  Unexpectedly, the landmines in the hands of aliens would be so powerful. Although there was no specific information, Li Ping still got a lot of information the moment those Zerg troops were wiped out.  Some landmines will jump out of the ground in an instant, detonating both the airborne and underground mines at the same time.  It seems that this mine is not that simple. There seems to be something inside. The power of these mine arrays is obviously much greater than the cumulative power of a single mine.  Needless to say, there must be some technology that the Zerg doesn't know about. The records of various mine locations, angles, and detonation timings have been sent to the Queen for research. Li Ping estimated based on his own experience, these details  There should be many clues.  "But Li Ping couldn't ignore these mines. They were all troubles. He could only pity those bugs who went to the mines and marched in several columns. He didn't believe that the mines were indifferent.  At the same time, another group of 50 to 60 million troops set off from the base and soon joined the remaining Cannon Scorpions.  As long as heavy firepower units such as the Cannon Scorpions are not lost, Li Ping will not feel bad about any other losses.  Following this rhythm, the Zerg troops began to charge into the mines without fear of death.  In Li Ping's view, this was normal. In order for the troops behind to reach the alien base smoothly, the Zerg in front made a safe passage in the minefield. This was all for the purpose of the Zerg attack.  But in the eyes of those aliens, this is completely different. This act of risking one's life against thunder is really shocking and cruel to them.  You know, just as the higher the status and wealth, the more afraid of death, the higher the level of science and technology and development of civilizations, the more important they are to life.  There are usually wars and conflicts. Although there are accidents, after all, there are various remote and automatic machines. There are very few people who actually die. Even mercenaries have seen dozens or hundreds of people die at most. I have seen them die.  Those who have died in thousands are considered super veterans.  Even if the battleship is destroyed, except for some people who directly took the entire ship and turned into fly ash, they will basically escape by lifeboats, and all they will see are piles of data and icons.  Now I really see so many bugs charging and dying, even if they are just some bugs, the death of tens of millions, tens of millions, is enough to scare these aliens.  Even the people of the Lajia tribe fell silent when they saw this scene.  Although they were brave and fearless, they were a little shocked to die like this without any hesitation, and to die without hesitation at a scale of tens of millions.  After the shock, there is fear. Faced with such a continuous charge that is not afraid of death, no matter how weak the opponent is, the biological instinct in the heart will still feel a little strange.  There have been some changes in Sostol. As an orthodox Ragja royal family, although they disdain the weakness of the Zerg, they appreciate the bravery and fearlessness shown by the Zerg now.  In his heart, the Zerg had a brave adjective in front of the weak ants.  Even Fisto admitted that he did underestimate the Zerg. With this continuous desperate charge, it was worth taking a high look at the Zerg. Maybe the cannon fodder of the Zerg would be more useful than imagined!  No matter what those aliens thought, Li Ping once again assembled a large number of troops, most of them were bellworms, and there were also many cockroaches and hydralisks.  These troops formed a long queue and rushed forward from the safe passage they had taken out earlier.  We don¡¯t know how many landmines those aliens have deployed, but until these troops were exhausted, the Zerg still did not pass through the minefield, which shows how many landmines these aliens have deployed.  Li ? who does not believe in evilThey really came into contact with this minefield, and another group of Zerg fearlessly rushed into the minefield.  After two batches of Zerg were reimbursed, Li Ping discovered that at the end of the safe passage opened with Zerg life, the density of mines had been significantly reduced, and it was estimated that he would be able to pass through the minefield soon.  However, Li Ping obviously underestimated the alien mines. Not long after the newly assembled Zerg troops entered the minefield, clouds of smoke and stones appeared on the barren ground on both sides of the safety passage, and then a round-headed  Things plunged into the Zerg troops amidst strong winds, lightning and thunder.  Then there was a loud noise, and a large area of ??Zerg was blown to pieces and blown away. As more mines broke out of the ground, the Zerg troops were wiped out with little resistance.  Even if the team had a lot of Hydralisks, at such a close distance and facing the fast mines, they could only knock down a few.  This reminded Li Ping of the human spider mine in the game.  Regardless of whether it is a real spider mine, this thing is troublesome, and land mines can turn into missiles if exposed.  The most important thing is that this thing is a simple automatic machine that is very low cost for those aliens and can be mass-produced.  If it reaches a certain scale, this kind of mine alone can kill the Zerg alive, let alone attack.  As a result, the Cannon Scorpion began to get busy again, launching self-destructing worms one after another, detonating landmines.  However, this method of detonating and demining is not very effective against these highly intelligent landmines. Li Ping clearly saw through the reconnaissance mosquitoes that only the center of the self-destructing worm explosion could have mines damaged and detonated, and nearby mines were not affected at all.  reaction.  And as soon as the Zerg troops enter the mine formation, a mine under its feet will detonate accurately, while the nearby mines will not be affected at all.  However, Li Ping unexpectedly discovered that a single bellworm would not detonate a mine no matter how hard it tried, and neither would a hydralisk.  After many experiments, Li Ping finally figured out some rules. As long as the scale exceeds a hundred, the Zerg will be attacked by landmines, but what can a hundred bugs do?  Nothing can be done!  Li Ping scratched his head a little, but he had calmed down.  Although it is a bit tiring to face the strange weapons of aliens, aliens are not gods. No matter how advanced their technology is, they cannot violate the laws of nature. Many advanced weapons are just more detailed and precise in the application of natural laws.  As long as you calm down and think carefully, there are ways to deal with those advanced weapons.  Li Ping thought about it for a while and got an idea.  "Maggie, divide the troops into small teams. The number of each team should not exceed one hundred. The teams should be separated by more than one hundred meters, and then charge one after another!" With the idea, Li Ping immediately started to act.  As long as you tell the Zerg senior management your thoughts, they will naturally take care of the rest of the trivial matters.  "As you command, Master!" During the battle, Maggie's words were still very concise, and her actions were also very efficient. Soon, the huddled Zerg troops dispersed neatly, and then regrouped nearby, quickly and concisely becoming one  A small force entered the safe passage in an orderly manner and rushed into the distance.  Sure enough, there was no reaction from the mines this time, but obviously, these mines were also very smart. Before Li Ping could be happy, the mines quickly flew out of the ground and broke the attempt.  Li Ping touched his chin, as if thinking about something.  A moment later, Li Ping gave another order. This time, just a bellworm rushed into the minefield.  But this bellworm is very different from ordinary bellworms. It is larger and faster. The black carapace seems to be able to suck in all the light. The clusters of blood-colored spikes on the top make this bellworm  It looks even more ferocious.  The sharp claws on the forelimbs flashed with a terrifying cold light. From time to time they touched the hard ground and pierced in easily, like a sharp dagger piercing into tofu.  The main eyes on the head are larger and more numerous than ordinary bell bugs. The three pairs of red-light main eyes seem to be able to penetrate the dense atmosphere and dust and see those hateful aliens in the distance.  The jointed limbs and elytra on its back are more slender and powerful, and its movements and attacks are faster and more effective.  This is an experienced bell insect. It has been taken by Li Ping since it was born on the earth. It has been fighting non-stop using the body of an ordinary bell insect. It has not exerted its full strength along the way. Now it is finally its turn.  The real person came out, which made him very excited.  Its long life and countless combat experiences have made it very sophisticated and cunning, and it has also evolved some special organs.  These organs allow it to easily detect landmines hidden underground.  As it ran around the place, a map of landmine distribution gradually became complete in Li Ping's mind.  Not only the location of the landmines, but also the appearance and size of the landmines were revealed by the bell insect.  So, the cannon scorpions startedIt got busy, and I started to name the mines that were close to the safe passage.  The smaller self-destructing worm saves resources, but is enough to detonate or destroy the mine underground.  Li Ping was not in a hurry and just spent his time slowly. Anyway, those mines did not move quickly. As long as he cleared the mines near the safe passage and attacked the mines a little further away, the Hydralisk was fully capable of knocking them down. He was clearing the mines in such a leisurely manner, except for  He wanted to tease those aliens, but he also had another purpose.  From the very beginning, Li Ping planned to sacrifice all the Zerg in this galaxy in order to test the current strength of the Zerg and learn as much as possible about the strength of those aliens.  He seemed to be clearing mines with ease now because he wanted to stimulate it, hoping that those aliens would become angry and use all their strength.  Li Ping is not sure whether this can be successful, but judging from the information he has obtained now, this universe is actually a society. After excluding the influence of some technologies and cultural differences, the society on earth is a good reference.  Those high-level civilizations are big families and large financial groups. Similarly, when facing low-level civilizations or "ignorant" biological civilizations like the Zerg, they must have an attitude of contempt and contempt. They must not be able to stand some "senses" in their own eyes.  "Ant" provocation.  Especially for a race like the Lajia tribe, Li Ping estimated that as long as he provoked them a little bit, they might become angry. After all, he killed one of their royal family members and severely damaged their face.  This is indeed the case. Sostor has never been happy since he came to this desolate pastoral star field. In his eyes, as long as they are ants, they should kneel down in front of him and beg for mercy and struggle in pain, even if they look up and see that they are right.  His insults, not to mention the fact that the Zerg had humiliated him over and over again, that he still wanted to resist after being surrounded by the army, and now that they even took the initiative to attack, made him furious.  And the Zerg arranged the mines in such an orderly manner, which suddenly caused the anger that Sostor had accumulated to burst out.  With Sostor's anger, the majestic spiritual energy dissipated, exuding a heavy pressure. Even Fisto, who was hiding in a small battleship in the distance, felt this pressure.  Fisto opened his eyes and smiled: "It seems that my royal brother is really angry." He is now more and more interested in the Zerg!  ;
