the only savior

Chapter 1118 Dawn in Despair
Three days later, in an oasis in the desert.

A group of 87 phantoms frantically reentered the woodland, inserted their hair into the water source, and gulped down the nutrients of life.

Sure enough, as guessed, they got lost in the desert of Le. Not only did they fail to find the teleportation crystal that left the planet, but they almost died here because the supplies were exhausted.

Fortunately, at the last moment, they finally got lucky once and found this small oasis, and only then did they replenish their energy at the last moment.

But then again, on this yellow sand planet, apart from the desert with harsh living conditions, there are almost no other areas to be seen.

Unless one finds a place rich in underground resources as before, one can establish a camp and live there for a long time, otherwise, in any other area, it will just be a slow death.

This is why everyone continues to search for the crystal now. With the existence of the crystal, at least they can use the first transmission to randomly change their positions on the planet, so as not to be trapped in a certain area.

The only thing that is depressing is that the Zerg has invaded this planet, and the place with abundant underground resources means that the probability of bugs appearing is higher, which undoubtedly makes survival more difficult.

"Aden, why don't we stay here first, I think the resource reserves here are not bad, let's build a camp first, let the soldiers take a breath, wait until everyone recovers and the nutritional reserves are richer Make another plan."

Sarah makes a suggestion to Arden.

After thinking about it for a while, the latter also felt that what she said made sense, and when he was about to nod his head, his companion suddenly rushed over and said:
"Aden! Come and see! We found something amazing!"

The man's face was anxious, his body was covered with beads of sweat, obviously he was very frightened.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Yaden's heart, and he didn't care about talking to Sarah, so he followed and ran out.

When he arrived at the destination, he suddenly stopped, his face stiffened, his eyes fixed on what he saw in front of him, and he said in a trembling tone:
"Sand, sandworm... this is a sandworm..."

Ahead, under a sand dune, a huge corpse straddled in front of him.

It is about 300 meters long and 30 meters wide. It has a huge body, its whole body is covered with a yellow carapace, and it is covered with spikes. The head is a big round mouth full of sharp teeth. People have a creepy feeling.

But now, this ferocious monster is dead, its carapace is broken, and its flesh and blood have been eaten away, leaving only a huge skeleton straddling the desert.

"Don't worry, Arden, it's dead."

Zeroda came over, and the scouting team he led was the first to discover the target, and was guarding the surroundings just now.

Hearing his friend's comfort, Yaden's complexion didn't show any signs of improvement, on the contrary, it became even uglier.

"No, Zelda, what I'm worried about isn't the sandworm itself... don't you think its wound looks familiar? Think about it again, what species on this planet can kill an adult sandworm?" insect?"

Hearing these words, Zeroda's face suddenly became serious. He walked up to the sandworm carefully and observed it carefully, his expression suddenly became more serious.

"It's the Zerg... These wounds are done by the Zerg..."

Zeroda lowered his head, he knew that everyone might be in big trouble now.

Sandworms are the overlord creatures on this yellow sand planet, and no creatures can threaten them, except for the Zergs that have just invaded here.

Everyone became nervous all of a sudden, and Yaden hurriedly organized everyone to pack up and prepare to run away.

I originally planned to stay here to catch my breath, but now it seems that the plan is definitely not going to work. Needless to say, this underground area must have become a nest of Zerg.

"Be careful! There are Zergs underground, we can't run in one direction, we must disrupt our steps, otherwise the rhythmic steps will attract their attention and let them know that there are living creatures here!"

Yaden reminded everyone.

Immediately he took the lead in action.

The steps he used looked very strange, taking two steps and taking one step back, and constantly circling around, as if he was dancing some kind of strange dance, and the efficiency of his progress was very low.

Others, however, dare not complain at all, because they know that this seemingly odd gait is actually the only way to walk on the sand at present.

During the period of contact with the Zerg, they have gradually summed up some methods against the Zerg, and this step called "backward step" is one of them.

Among the Zerg worms, there is a very terrifying tunnel worm. Their size does not belong to the sand worms just seen, and they are even bigger.

It may be that the auditory system of this kind of tunnel worm is very developed, or it may be that they have mastered the corresponding spiritual power. In short, they can hear any small sound and vibration hundreds of meters above the ground deep underground.

Especially the moving footsteps of this kind of creature are generally very regular, which undoubtedly tells the insects that there are prey here, come up and catch us quickly.

To avoid this from happening, the only way to avoid their detection is to learn the backward step used by Raton, disrupt the rhythm of his progress, and imitate the wind and vibration of nature.

It is precisely for this reason that even if the situation is urgent now, everyone has to slow down their speed and choose such an inefficient way to move forward.

It took a full hour, and the people only walked less than one kilometer. At the same time, everyone was sweating profusely. Moving back and forth was really exhausting and slow. The little energy they had just replenished It's also consumed seven or eighty-eight.

And the current situation is not up to them to choose. If they run blindly in an area where they know there are Zergs below, it is really no different from courting death.

It's just that hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel. As the saying goes, a leaky house happens to rain all night, and bad luck only finds the poor. Everyone's escape plan came to an end in a burst of shaking.

Looking at the rapidly collapsing ground and the tumbling yellow sand in front of him, Arden knew they were playing tricks.

"Run! Run!"

He turned his head and yelled frantically at his companions, trying to keep everyone away from this area.

However, before they ran far, in the center of the turbulent yellow sand just now, a huge figure that covered the sky and the sun was looming in the sand and dust.

"It's the zerg! Here they come!"

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, accompanied by the ear-piercing scream of the tunnel worm. The huge body of the worm slammed down on the ground, shocking everyone.

With just such an appearance, they instantly caught up with the distance that everyone ran in a panic, and almost lost their ability to continue to escape. The strength gap between the two sides can be imagined.

However, such a huge tunnel worm is actually not a real combat unit in the Zerg, but more often exists as a transport unit.

I saw this giant tunnel worm with a body length of more than 400 meters suddenly opened its mouth, and countless black worms rushed out of the mouth.

Scythe bugs, demolition bugs, stinger bugs, and even quite a few flying Zerg in the air, numbering no less than hundreds of thousands.

A Nydus Worm can carry a lot of space in its body. It is said that they have a special chamber with space attributes, just like the chamber used on the Zerg mothership.

From the surface, the size of these chambers may seem average, but in fact the internal space structure is very large, and the number of wild insects that can be loaded is extremely exaggerated.

In the second universe, there are still many blacksmiths who use these Zerg chambers to create space storage equipment, but this kind of equipment made of insects is not popular with people, only a lot of them can’t afford space stone equipment Talented people go back and choose.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of tunnel worms had already occupied the front of Yaden and the others. At the same time, two other tunnel worms of similar size appeared. Also spit out a large number of bugs from the mouth, surrounded the crowd.

Now, the total number of all the worms on the field probably exceeded one million, and it was in a form of encirclement again, directly trapping everyone to death.

In front of such a huge Zerg army, those 87 phantoms were as inconspicuous as a grain of sand on the beach, and there was no possibility of resistance at all.

"No, no, no..."

Adun was completely panicked at this time. The hundreds of thousands of Zerg troops rushing from three directions made them completely lose the possibility of escape. Not to mention that there is no teleportation crystal at hand, even if there is a crystal here, there is no possibility of escape. It was too late to open.

"How come there are so many bugs...they...they..."

Sarah also looked like she was in a daze. She really couldn't understand why these bugs sent millions of troops to encircle and suppress her.

But what she doesn't know is that this is the correct way for wild insects to hunt. No matter how many people you have, my number will definitely be much larger than yours, and every action must be crushed by absolute numbers .

I am afraid that in the second universe, the only drones that can compete with the Zerg in terms of numbers are the drones of the Bell family.

At this time, no one on the Phantom Spirit side became calm anymore. The situation in front of them is clear at a glance. They have no possibility of surviving. The only difference now is how to die. The corpse was still blown to death by the blaster, or melted into blood by the stinger.

"Formation! Psykers are out! Protect our companions! We are phantoms who will never back down! We are the hope of this race, warriors fighting for ourselves! We can die! But we must not Die without any resistance! Everyone! Unsheath your bare blade! Come face to face with me!!!”

Yaden's shouted voice spread into everyone's mind, and everyone gradually recovered from the despair, and began to subconsciously follow his instructions to form formation.

I have to say that in this kind of team battle, it is really rare to have an excellent commander, because most people will lose their ability to think rationally in this situation. They need a backbone and need to be united , in order to maximize your combat power.

Although the current organizational resistance seems to be meaningless and can no longer change the fate of doomed death, but for these few phantom spirits, the value of death is also the meaning of existence itself, and death in battle is not just The mission of a warrior is also the last will of every Phantom to resist the Zerg.

Seeing the Zerg army rushing towards his face, feeling the pressure like the turbulent sea, Arden's hands were covered with beads of sweat.

He knew that he might die in the next second, and his heart was also full of fear of death, but his dignity did not allow him to retreat, even if he died, he would die facing the enemy.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, 500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters...

When the distance was less than 50 meters, an unexpected scene happened.

The scythe is the basic unit of the Zerg, and it is also one of the fastest charging units.

They usually exist as cannon fodder on the battlefield, rushing at the fastest speed and receiving the hardest beating.

Now, at the forefront of the team is just such a group of sickle insects who are not afraid of life and death.

They charged frantically and howled, trying to tear up the prey in front of them. However, when they were less than 50 meters away from the target, an invisible air wall suddenly appeared and blocked them. in the middle of the two.

The first batch of sickle insects came into close contact with this wall immediately, and hit it hard. He was squeezed into a ball and lost his life on the spot.

Yaden and the others stared at this scene dumbfounded, and looked around. The black insect swarm was like a flood when it encountered a dam, and was blocked 50 meters away from the range of themselves and others.

"what happened……"

The others were also shocked by the scene in front of them. They didn't understand what was going on. They couldn't help but slowly put down the light in their hands when they saw the swarms of insects biting and scratching in the distance but unable to move forward. blade.

Arden mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward, but saw a white light in front of his eyes, which was constantly flickering with the attack of the insect swarm. It turned out that it was the thing that hit them.

The next moment, a shadow suddenly appeared, covering everyone in it.

"That is……"

Yaden raised his head suddenly, and then saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.
