Chapter 34 The Queen Mother

"We're looking for the wrong direction?" Linni also noticed the difference after he reminded her.

"Your analysis is 16% possible. Maybe we have found the right direction. Maybe we will encounter a large number of beetles that have not been poisoned or seen before. It is still time to withdraw." Chen Fang's inference is creepy. Judging from the organizational form of flying beetles, their group has a division of labor. The flying beetles that appear outside the cave may be just a population, responsible for foraging and attacking. In this way, there are at least male populations in the nest and the population responsible for transporting. However, so far, Chen Fang has not seen the second type of flying beetle.

"I will not retreat because of my timidity, and let the efforts of these days be gone. I don't know the probability you mentioned, just don't like to give up halfway. Aren't you going to compete for the first place? As your partner, I will do my best." Linni returned to her previous strength and continued to grop forward.

Pounce~ A beetle popped out of the darkness, and it was amazingly fast. With the help of the night vision function of the goggles, you can only see a blurred green shadow.

The distance was too close and the speed was fast. Even though Chen Fang was prepared, he shot twice in a row before he could hit the target in a thrilling manner.

"The marksmanship is good." Linni calmly waved her hand to wipe away the mucus from her neck. Because the distance was too close, the beetle's body fluid still splashed on her body.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" Chen Fang asked with a smile.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if you miss the shot, I still have the ability to protect myself." Linni raised the bloodletter in her hand, which was her final line of defense.

The killed beetles have turned into a mixture of carapace and minced meat, and they are hung on the cave wall with sticky liquid. It is impossible to tell whether the flying beetles outside are the same species. However, from experience, it should not be, because when attacking Linni, the green shadow popped up. Moreover, if it were flying beetles, there would be more than one pounce, but a group of them.

As long as the Zergs like Flying Beetles are not attacked in groups, the threat they bring is not enough to worry about. Linni's persistence is also wise. When she started to explore again, she became much more cautious. She carefully searched for the gaps in the cave wall and pressed against one side of the cave wall while moving. In this way, if a Flying Beetle wants to attack her, she will have to jump from one side of the cave to the other side. Chen Fang has plenty of time and distance for shooting. In addition, she can also fix the shooting in one direction, and the difficulty of reducing it is more than 50%.

Chen Fang also secretly praised him in his eyes.

Another beetle jumped. Chen Fang's shooting was quick and accurate, calm and composed. This time, the mucus did not touch Linni's body. Trust and tacit understanding emerged from the continuous shooting, and continued to advance a hundred meters. Linni had already ignored the beetles that were rushing out at any time.

When she arrived at a corner, she quickly pressed her body toward the inner corner and used the refraction function of the goggles to peek inside.

The vision suddenly became clear, showing a terrifying picture. The vast space was filled with milky white eggs the size of eggs, which were so numerous that it was unimaginable. If they all hatched, they would immediately form a huge flying beetle legion.

At the end of the cave is a giant with an irregular shape and an irregular height of more than four meters, occupying a corner of the cave. Apart from the green carapace on the surface, it is difficult to see that it has any connection with the flying beetle. It is ovulating, and there are a total of six ovulation pipes, like mechanized production. Dozens of ovulation eggs are discharged from the body every minute, and then transported to the distance through a crawling beetle, stacked with the rest of the worm eggs, looking like a warehouse for storing rice.

You can tell at a glance that this is a hatching place for flying beetles, completely isolated from the outside world. The division of labor of crawling beetles is to protect the mother king and transport insect eggs. They feed on mushrooms in the cave, are self-sufficient and never go out. The insect eggs fly outside on their own after hatching and never come back. Therefore, they can escape the disaster under the ravage of the death cloak.

"What should I do?" Linni took back her goggles, and the two of them tacitly retreated.

Chen Fang took out a can of Death's cloak. Although the beetles here cannot fly, they will no longer move. They contact the mother king and the insect eggs, and the insect eggs they store are also layered. With the water on the ground, it is not difficult to spread the Death's cloak. The only difficulty is that when the Death's cloak is placed, the Zerg cannot be alarmed.

Linni volunteered to take the piggy bank that was in the death cloak and drilled into the cave lightly. The insect eggs were not threatening before hatching. As long as they avoided the busy crawling beetles, this errand was easy for Linni, who was known for her agility and speed. After a moment, she returned calmly with the empty piggy bank.

After nearly a week of waiting, the two witnessed the entire process of the spread of the cloak of Death. The gray-white color symbolizing death spreads rapidly, and eventually submerged the green that symbolized vitality, and the cave was silent.

"Let's go and take a look." The task of destroying the flying beetle nest has not been completed, and Chen Fang had no choice but to do so.

Linni expressed her acceptance with silence, and she took the lead in tacitly, taking on the responsibility of exploring the way, while Chen Fang walked behind to be responsible for covering.

The eggs infected with the virus have long lost their vitality, soft and sticky, and there is a strange feeling that is indescribable and unknown when trampled on it. Especially Linni, who is a woman, can't help but feel like she wants to vomit. She is so strong that she forced herself to suppress it and touch the mother's side as quickly as possible.

The fate of an ordinary beetle is similar to that of a layer of white frost. It is covered with a layer of white frost and is slid in the corner of the cave. Perhaps the mother king still has a breath, but from the perspective of the mercenary association, as long as the breeding stops, it is equivalent to death. The task prompt that has been waiting for a long time finally appears.

The reward's merit value is not 100,000, but 150,000. The images sent back by the Mercenary Association through goggles have the right to modify the rewards at any time according to the difficulty of the task. For example, at the beginning, they canceled the merit value of hunting a single flying beetle, but now, perhaps they think that the merit value of 100,000 is too low compared to the difficulty and contribution of destroying the insect hole, or this is a compensation for the cancellation of the merit value of hunting a single flying beetle.

Chen Fang couldn't help but feel curious. He was considering the merit value, whether it was the Mercenary Association system or a group of otakus hiding behind the display screen and following the goggles to experience adventure. However, even if it was judged by the Mercenary Association system, he would never cheat, and he didn't even have the slightest idea. Now his merit value is nearly 300,000, and he is fully capable of chasing the first place.

"What is that?" Linni was attracted by a flash, and was particularly conspicuous in the gray and dead silence.

It was a flashing body, pressing under the mother's body, only revealing the tip of the iceberg, and it was impossible to tell what it was, but a familiar feeling flashed through Chen Fang's mind.
