Chapter 017: The Insect Tide Returns

More than a hundred of Shen Zheng's subordinates also shouted "How is it possible" in their hearts.

These recruits have seen the strength of the squad leader, but they really didn't expect the squad leader to be so strong.

What does it mean to have a veteran with a bug power of 62?

That is already the top combat power in the second formation, and it is beyond the strength of the squad leader.

Just beaten up like that? There is no chance to fight back? [

Feng Yu looked at the veteran who was beaten up, half open his mouth, and couldn't believe it was true.

Although this veteran had no official rank, his strength was not weak. It was just because he had too many minor problems and a simple mind that he was not suitable to be an officer, so he had always been just an ordinary soldier.

But his military salary was equivalent to that of the squad leaders, because his strength was there-his bug power of 62 had long surpassed all the squad leaders in the second formation, and his rich battlefield experience was beyond the reach of the squad leaders.

Although Shen Zheng's insect power reached 66, surpassing the old soldier, Feng Yu thought that Shen Zheng had never received combat training and had never learned how to use insect power. He was a typical person who had money but didn't know how to spend it. He was good at talking about war on paper, but definitely not good at actual combat.

But he never expected that Shen Zheng would use only one blow to knock the strongest soldier in the team away!

"Medic, hurry!" Feng Yu took a long time to recover. Seeing that the old soldier fell to the ground and didn't get up, he hurriedly ordered the adjutant to find a medic to help.

"How is it, are you okay?" Shen Zheng also came over nervously.

"Not bad." The medic smiled after checking, "He was just knocked unconscious. This power is really accurate. If he has more power, he will be injured. If he has less power, he can jump up and stand again. Awesome!"

With his praise, Shen Zheng's image in the eyes of his subordinates immediately became much higher.

"You kid..." Feng Yu looked at Shen Zheng, not knowing what to say. His mind was so confused that he could not think of "genetic memory".

At this moment, the emergency alarm suddenly sounded again. Feng Yu's face changed and he did not care too much: "Gather immediately, take your positions with important tasks, and prepare to resist the insect tide!"

For some reason, Shen Zheng was no longer nervous and afraid as he was in the first battle, and his heart was very calm. He glanced at his 100 subordinates and said in a deep voice: "Go to the armory immediately to get your weapons and armor. Those who are still unfamiliar with the use of insect power should use more insect power during the preparation time to enhance their proficiency."

"Yes!" All the soldiers said in unison.

Feng Yu looked at all this in surprise, and couldn't help laughing after a while.

He is not only a super soldier, but also has the talent to lead troops. It's so rare, so rare!

Soon after, all the soldiers in the northwest defense city were fully armed and guarded in their original positions, staring at the direction of the fierce insect valley, waiting for the insect tide to come again.

But Shen Zheng's position was no longer the original defensive platform. He now had his own team and was responsible for a defensive platform alone. At this time, he stood on the platform, looking at the entrance of the valley of the fierce insects in the distance, his eyes were focused, without any anxiety, tension, fear or panic.

He couldn't explain why he was so calm.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel that his calmness was a bit strange-not long ago, he was just an ordinary citizen, an ordinary worker. Although he had experienced fighting when he was young, he never dared to think about killing. [

But just before, he killed Ping Lei with his own hands, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Why is this so? He was very puzzled.

Maybe it's the result of insect planting. He thought about it and could only attribute all the reasons to this. Maybe the genetic memory of the insect race acted on his brain, giving him a memory impression of having experienced bloody fighting, so he didn't feel much about killing, fighting, and death.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should be alert and be careful not to be controlled by the genetic memory of the Zerg and turn into an emotionless cold-blooded killer.

At this moment, the warning from the operator of the insect sound discriminator came from the head communicator: "The insect tide is approaching, all units should be alert and prepare for battle!"

"Everyone get ready!" he ordered loudly.

Soon, a terrifying insect chirping sound that made people's hair stand on end sounded, and then this sound gathered into a sea of ​​insect sounds. The palms of the recruits couldn't help sweating, holding their guns nervously and taking deep breaths.

In a moment, a sea of ​​insects rushed out from the valley of fierce insects. Those screams, long calls, and roars merged into a sea of ​​sounds, which shocked people from afar.

"Calm down!" Shen Zheng shouted loudly to stabilize the morale of the recruits. "Only by staying calm can we hope to survive!"

The insect swarm was getting closer and closer, and the long-range artillery finally began to roar at them. The huge insects were shattered, scattered, and flew away in the explosion of the artillery, and the miserable cries resounded through the world. But all this could not stop the insect swarm from moving forward. The fearless death tide moved forward and got closer and closer to the fortress.

Then, there was the roar of machine guns. Hundreds of machine guns fired fiercely, turning strong insects into sieves, tearing their shells, and breaking their legs.

Just like last time, the insect tide covering the ground finally reached the fortress after sacrificing tens of thousands of its own kind. At this time, the number of insect tides was still tens of thousands. They climbed to the top of the fortress with the unique skills of the Zerg, and then fell down one by one with screams under the bombardment of the guns in the hands of human soldiers.

There were also a large number of prism insects among them, which fired prisms frantically at the top of the fortress outside the fortress, but the outer walls of the solid defensive platforms blocked all these guns. However, because there were too many prisms, the outer walls of several defensive platforms were damaged, but they were still not broken.

"Behind us is our hometown, where our relatives live!" Shen Zheng stood in the center of the platform and shouted to the new recruits who were somewhat afraid of the insect tide. "Even if we die, we must not let the bugs step into Langya Town!"

"We must not let the bugs step into Langya Town!" Fang He jumped up and roared in response. Under his leadership, the soldiers jumped up and roared, and their momentum was boosted.

A few minutes later, they lost two or three thousand of their own kind in the rain, and finally attacked the defensive platform. They roared fiercely, waving their sharp claws and weapons, and pounced on the human soldiers.

"Kill!" Shen Zheng's face was cold. As he roared, he was covered with a black steel-like shell. His ten fingers became sharp like guns. Two half-meter-long snow-white bone blades stretched out from the outside of his two forearms. He raised his hands, and several prisms flew out first, hitting a bug that had just pounced on him and making it scream and fall down again.

He kept running and rushed to the edge of the platform, where a thorny claw insect had just climbed up and was piercing the ground with its forelimbs, intending to use the force to jump onto the platform.

The genetic memory made Shen Zheng fully understand how to use his insect power. He rushed straight over and passed through the two front legs of the thorny claw insect to fix its body. With a slight flip of his arm, the sharp blade swept out and cut a hole in the chest of the thorny claw insect.

With the other hand raised, a burst quickly condensed and formed in the palm of his hand, floating in his palm under the traction of the insect power. He turned his wrist, palm forward, and directly inserted the burst into the wound of the thorny claw insect, then turned around and swept the knife horizontally, cutting off the two front legs of the thorny claw insect.

The thorny claw insect, which lost its support, screamed and fell down, smashing more than a dozen of its kind behind it, and fell into the army of its kind. Before it could struggle to get up, the burst stuck in the wound had exploded with a bang, tearing its body directly into pieces.

The sharp spikes in the explosion flew out in all directions, piercing the surrounding insects with holes and killing many of them. [

"Fight them!" Fang He was the first to respond to Shen Zheng's killing order. He opened his arms and two bone blades grew out of each arm, but the direction of growth was different from Shen Zheng's. Shen Zheng's formed a 90-degree angle with his arms, while his grew forward in a curve, like two scimitars with the tips facing forward.

Another thorn claw insect climbed up, followed by a group of insects. The insect tide finally attacked the defensive platform, and the soldiers could no longer fight them at a safe distance. Fang He rushed towards the thorn claw insect, and imitated Shen Zheng's way, slashing the thorn claw insect's front leg with a knife, cutting off one of its front legs.

The thorn claw insect screamed in pain, and the other front leg struggled to grab the ground. It bent its body and fell on the platform, roaring and waving the remaining front leg, hitting Fang He.

Fang He hurriedly rolled to the ground to avoid it, but the other leg of the thorn claw insect swept over and tripped him to the ground. While he was falling, it swung its front leg and smashed down hard with its thorn claw on his chest.

"Get out of the way!" With a loud shout, Shen Zheng rushed over like a black chariot, suddenly bent his body, and hit the chest of the thorn claw insect hard with his solid steel armor, knocking the thorn claw insect that was about to commit a crime flying out.

Before his body landed on the ground, Shen Zheng's hand had already been raised, and several prisms flew out, smashing the head and chest of the thorn claw insect that had just fallen to the ground into a mess.

"Thank you!" Fang He climbed up and smiled at Shen Zheng with a red face.

"Be careful." Shen Zheng also smiled, raised his hand and shot a few prisms, killing a worm that was about to commit a crime in the distance.

"Everyone be careful!" He yelled, rushing towards the bugs that kept crawling up from the platform.

The entire front outer wall of the fortress and the platform were surrounded by the sounds of fighting, roaring, screaming, and shouting.
