Chapter 009: The Third Egg

"Kill, kill you all!"

There were a total of 300 soldiers on the defensive platform where Shen Zheng was, including 200 veterans and 100 new recruits.

Except for Shen Zheng, all of these new recruits were combat-type insect planters, but their performance at this time was no different from that of ordinary infantrymen. They kept retreating, pale-faced and holding their guns to shoot at the insects that pounced on them.

"See clearly before shooting!" The veterans roared angrily, scaring the new recruits to retreat and not dare to shoot again.

The veterans were veterans, one by one, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward, some of them turned their hands into two armor-like sharp blades with a wave of their hands, some of them raised their hands and fired several prisms, some of them sprayed strong acid, and some of them swung their fists like giant hammers...[

One by one, the insects were hit, maimed, and killed, but more of them pounced on them again and fought fiercely with humans.

The new recruit Shan was finally inspired and courageous, and he also rushed forward with a roar.

Shen Zheng held the gun, recalling the combat training he had received during the military training. He aimed as calmly as possible, firing deadly bullets one by one, and each bullet could make a bug fall slowly in the painful struggle.

Suddenly, his movements became slow, and finally stopped, because an unbearable feeling of hunger began to surge from the depths of his mind again.

How could it be at this time...

This feeling of hunger made him stagger and unable to hold the gun. He felt his head begin to dizzy, as if he would fall down by himself without anyone attacking him.

And suddenly, a familiar breath came over, which lifted his spirits. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked forward.

There, there was a slender giant bug that had just climbed onto the high platform, with its long insect tongue stretched out, drooling all over the ground, its two strong front feet grasping the ground, and the three sharp claws at the end of the feet, like human hands, pierced into the ground fiercely, piercing holes in the concrete floor like cutting tofu.

It was a thorny claw bug.

That kind of breath was emitted from the thorn claw insect, full of temptation. In the eyes of Shen Zheng, who was tortured by hunger, the giant insect was the most delicious food.

Insect eggs!

These two words flashed through his mind, his eyes shone, and his body was full of strength. But at this time, he still had time to scan the surroundings. When he found that no one had the leisure to notice him, he finally gritted his teeth and rushed towards the thorn claw insect with his gun.

He couldn't shoot, otherwise the rapid explosion would directly blow the mother insect into pieces, and all the eggs would be written off.

"I got the power of the steel beetle before." He thought to himself, "The steel beetle is a strong insect with a strength of more than 60. I should be able to kill this thorn claw insect with my physical strength!"

The thorn claw insect also discovered him. The huge mouth with jaws uttered a creepy insect roar. Its two front legs grasped the ground hard. Its huge body bent like a spring, and then suddenly spread out and leaped into the air, pounced on Shen Zheng, and hit Shen Zheng fiercely with a pair of front legs with three sharp claws each.

Steel armor!

The ability from genetic memory was immediately activated. When Shen Zheng could not dodge in time, a layer of black carapace instantly wrapped up Shen Zheng, as if another exquisite armor protected his body.

The sharp claws of the thorn claw insect that could easily penetrate concrete hit the armor fiercely, but failed to penetrate the armor. However, the powerful attack force still knocked Shen Zheng out fiercely.

Shen Zheng flew out and hit the guardrail behind him, and then fell forward to the ground. But during this process, he always curled up tightly, letting his shell collide with the wall and the ground. After landing, he suddenly flipped over and jumped up, moving his limbs, feeling like he had fallen twice on a spring bed. [

The thorn claw insect thought that this attack could tear Shen Zheng to pieces, but it didn't expect that this little human would stand safely after flying out. It seemed to be angry, roared loudly and pounced on Shen Zheng again. The fast movement speed unique to the insect race made Shen Zheng dodge.

"Come on, I have to dodge again!" Shen Zheng looked at the thorn claw insect approaching him quickly, with strong confidence in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand and stared at the head of the thorn claw insect.

With a roar of the insect, the two front legs of the thorn claw insect stabbed out fiercely again.

A light unique to insect eyes flashed in Shen Zheng's eyes. In that moment, he saw all the movements of the thorn claw insect and saw through the thorn claw insect's attack target. So he let go of the gun and let it fall to the ground, and raised his arms to block the front legs of the thorn claw insect.

Unfortunately, he missed.

Although he had seen through the opponent's movements, his movements could not be coordinated with his vision skillfully, and this time, he was still a step slower.

He was hit again and flew backwards, fell to the ground, rolled over and jumped up.

This time, without waiting for the thorn claw insect to attack again, he had already rushed forward with a roar towards the thorn claw insect. When the thorn claw insect raised its front legs to hit him again, he had already jumped up, and the fist surrounded by steel armor hit hard with a whistling sound.

The thorn claws brushed past his neck, making a harsh sound as they rubbed against the steel armor. His fist accurately hit the head of the thorn claw insect. The solid and hard fist, with the impact force of the steel armor beetle that could charge through thousands of troops, instantly broke the relatively fragile head shell of the thorn claw insect.

Those delicate shells, like walnuts hit by a heavy hammer, flew in all directions.

Under the huge impact force, the brain tissue of the thorn claw insect flew out like hail to the back, without touching Shen Zheng at all.

Landed, stood up, and stood firm. Shen Zheng stood like a statue, while the tall and slender giant insect in front of him shook its body and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Success! I killed a thorn claw insect with the power of my flesh!"

Shen Zheng's heart was full of excitement. Although he had successfully absorbed the steel armor beetle and gained its power, that power had not been tested in actual combat after all. And now, he has really killed a powerful insect with this power, which really shows his strength.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Shen Zheng came to the abdomen of the thorn claw insect. There, it is the place where it exudes a strong and tempting breath. Obviously, there must be eggs of the thorn claw insect hidden there.

The torture of hunger made Shen Zheng no longer care about so much. He raised his fist wrapped in the carapace and smashed the carapace of the abdomen of the thorn claw insect fiercely, and took out three eggs of the thorn claw insect from it.

Grabbing an egg in his hand, he couldn't wait to crush the egg. The shell fell to the ground, and the liquid inside turned into mist, which flew up again and condensed into a line that penetrated into his forehead. A feeling of fulfillment made him feel comfortable, but reason told him that this was a battlefield and he must not just enjoy it like last time, otherwise death would be waiting for him.

He forced himself to struggle out of that feeling, and everything in front of him became clear immediately - the chaotic battlefield, the corpse of the thorny claw insect, and...

Raising his hand, a prism condensed in his palm, and pointed the sharp prism tip at his Ping Lei.

"Hand it over." Ping Lei said with a jealous voice, "Otherwise I will reward you with a prism."

"Do you know what you are doing?" Shen Zheng looked at Ping Lei, his voice cold. When absorbing the insect eggs, his steel armor had unconsciously retracted, and now he looked like just an ordinary soldier.

It was for this reason that Ping Lei dared to have evil intentions towards him. [

"Don't talk too much." Ping Lei said impatiently, "Give me the insect eggs in your hand, you lucky guy! The spoils should belong to the truly strong, not the cheap trash."

"This is a battlefield where humans defend humans." Shen Zheng looked at him, his voice calm. "You pointed your prism at your own kind?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ping Lei's eyes were fierce. "Everything in this world is prepared for super-level geniuses with powerful strength. You once won a moment of glory by pretending to be a genius, but the real light always belongs to the real genius. I am the real genius!"

While he was speaking, a black two-meter giant insect suddenly screamed and pounced on him. Ping Lei didn't even turn his head. He raised his other hand and fired a prism from the palm of that hand, instantly piercing the giant insect's head. The giant insect shook twice and fell down with a bang, just blocking the sight of others.

"Hand over the eggs." Ping Lei said coldly. "The eggs of the thorn claw insect with insect power level 50 should not be the spoils of a waste like you."

Shen Zheng didn't speak. He relied on the genetic memory ability of the Zerg that was still running in his body to feel the changes in the battlefield around him.

"After I hand over the eggs to you, you will kill me immediately, right?" Shen Zheng said. "You were just afraid that if you shot me directly, the eggs would be damaged, so you didn't sneak attack me just now, right?"

"You are very smart." Ping Lei smiled, and his smile was quite scary. "Accept your fate. This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. You have to accept the rules."

"Really?" Shen Zheng smiled.

At this moment, another thorny claw insect climbed up from behind Shen Zheng, with its slender figure straightened, its tongue spitting sticky saliva, its two front feet dancing in the air, and fell towards Shen Zheng.

Ping Lei saw this scene and just sneered, without taking any action. In his opinion, it was a good thing for Shen Zheng to be killed directly by the insect.

Shen Zheng did not look back.

At this moment, his perception of the world around him was clearer than before. Although he did not look back, the feeling in the dark was like a glimpse of an eye, telling him all the changes around him. He knew what was behind him and what he was doing, and he knew what he should do.

When the pair of thorny claws fell, he nimbly dodged to the side, then bent his body slightly, and then suddenly stretched it out, shooting up like a spring, and flew into the air.

That movement was very much like the swooping of a thorny claw insect.
