239: The fourth large-scale attack, the infected red dragon

“These countries, led by the United States, must not forget that Su Bai’s continuous national fortune rewards have already caused Dragon Country’s economy, technology, and military strength to advance by leaps and bounds. How could they still fear your sanctions?”

“Whichever country dares to impose sanctions, Dragon Country will implement corresponding counter-sanctions! Hmph, hmph, we’ll park aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and missiles at your country’s doorstep. Let’s see if you panic then!”

“Speaking of which, this Infection Crisis is truly abnormal. It’s only the first day, and the total number of Infected Creatures attacking my territory has already exceeded ten thousand.”

“Only ten thousand? You should be happy. The Infected Creatures attacking my territory have already reached fifty thousand.”

“Killing Infected Creatures while also killing injured soldiers—this fight is truly too frustrating.”

“To prevent the infection from spreading and causing a greater crisis, killing injured soldiers in advance is already the optimal choice.”

“Fortunately, I was smart and built defensive structures all around the edge of my territory. It’s perfectly suited for dealing with this Infection Crisis.”

“Just thinking about tomorrow and the day after gives me a headache. Resisting the Infected Creatures, like locusts, is truly difficult.”

“Amitabha, may the heavens bless us!”

“Which big brother is willing to send troops to save me? After the special disaster ends, I can become your girlfriend and allow you to do anything.”

“Upstairs, is that a honey trap? I remember your ID and name; you’re clearly a rough-looking man.”

“aishiba, without the replenishment of ‘Souls,’ the next two days will only become more difficult.”

“Are there any Lords of the Barren Desert? We can form an alliance to jointly resist the disaster.”

“Compared to Infected Creatures, I believe our own kind are the most terrifying. Even if we form an alliance, there’s still a chance of being stabbed in the back.”

“This special disaster has had quite an impact on the Lords of various countries.”

After closing the chat channel, Su Bai couldn’t help but show a slight smile on his face.

For other Lords, the most worrying and frightening thing was their soldiers getting injured, being assimilated by the infection, losing their minds, and turning to attack their former comrades.

In contrast, the Zerg Swarm had no such problem whatsoever.

At this moment, Su Bai couldn’t help but marvel again at how important it was to possess a powerful race.

Night fell.

Moonlight cascaded upon the land.

Infected Creatures, in small groups, launched invasions against the territory.

The Hydralisks easily killed the appearing Infected Creatures at the first opportunity.

“Tonight, the Zerg Swarm needs to defend the territory all night,” Su Bai said.

“Lord, I have already made proper arrangements for the Zerg Swarm to rest in shifts,” Kerrigan stepped forward, “You don’t have to worry at all; you can sleep soundly as usual.”

“Since that’s the case, I’m relieved.”

Su Bai’s face was filled with joy.

Having a versatile hero like the Queen of Blades truly saved a lot of worry.

As for Dehaka, although he was huge, standing 7.5 meters tall, his temperament was not mature and stable enough.

Sometimes, he was like a husky, liable to do something foolish.

The three heroes within the territory:

The Queen of Blades could be positioned as a “commander,” not only strong in individual combat but also capable of leading the Zerg Swarm and holding her own.

Dehaka’s positioning was that of a “vanguard general” or “guard.”

Abathur, within the Zerg Swarm, served as a “gene scientist” or “strategist.”

“For the next few days, I’ll entrust the defense of the territory to you three,” Su Bai looked around.

“Yes, Lord!”

The three heroes responded in unison.

Immediately after, Abathur stepped out, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

“I just dissected, pulverized, and analyzed some of the Infected Creatures’ corpses.”

“I discovered that the infectious virus carried within their genes possesses some other characteristics.”

“For example, strengthening physique, accelerating cell healing, and so on.”

“If fused with Zerg genes, all negative effects can be offset.”

“Now I have greater confidence in successfully resurrecting the deceased human, Zhao Ganwu.”

Su Bai nodded, “That’s excellent. Go ahead and do it, make every effort to revive Zhao Ganwu.”

As the saying goes, it’s better to live a bad life than to die well.

Once a person dies, they have nothing left.

Therefore, no matter what method is used, Zhao Ganwu must first be revived.

Fusing Zerg genes with the infection virus is currently the only feasible plan.

Moreover, Abathur had said that after fusing with Zerg genes, Zhao Ganwu would still retain his human form.

This way, while saving him, it also respected his fundamental rights as a human being.

It was the best of both worlds, not bad at all.

The world outside the territory was filled with Infected Creatures.

During these three days, the Drones could not go out to gather resources.

“Just stay in the territory with peace of mind.”

Su Bai yawned, walked into the small stone house, and lay down on the bed.

Before long, he fell into a deep sleep… The next day.

The sun rose in the east, and dawn broke.

【Announcement: The third round of large-scale attacks is about to begin!】

【Announcement: All Lords, please note, in the third round of attacks you face, the level and quantity of Infected Creatures will be increased!】

“Let the storm rage even more fiercely!”

Su Bai’s eyes gleamed.

At the edge of the horizon, tens of thousands of Infected Creatures, like a zombie stampede, surged towards the territory from all directions.

They were a dense, dark mass, like a swarm of locusts passing through, a truly immense force.

【Prompt: Lord Su Bai, in the third round of large-scale attacks, a total of 300,000 Infected Creatures will attack your territory!】

“Three hundred thousand monsters, that’s the sum of the first two rounds of attacks. This is really getting lively.”

Su Bai’s expression was calm, without the slightest fear.

There were three types of monsters in total.

Infected Human Civilians, Infected Orcs, and Infected Elves.

Excellent quality, Lv14.

“Orc cavalry riding direwolves, Elf mages wielding staffs—although both are strong, they will still be crushed by the Zerg Swarm!”

Su Bai stood atop the Young Thunder Beast, his voice filled with confidence.

Zerglings, Hydralisks, Roaches, and Devourers were all Supreme Mythic, Lv19.

Even though their numbers were not as great as the Infected Creatures, their overall strength completely outmatched them.

Plus multiple buffs.

The Queen of Blades’ talent [Zerg Heart] enhanced the Zerg Swarm’s combat power by 180%.

The killing title “death reaper” enhanced the Zerg Swarm’s combat power by 15%.

The medal “king of the wilderness” enhanced the Zerg Swarm’s combat power by 50%.

With these Overlay, the combined strength of the Zerglings, Hydralisks, Roaches, and Devourers was enough to overwhelm this wave of Infected Creatures.

Five minutes later.

The territory defense battle officially began.

The Zerg Swarm swept through like a storm, as if entering an uninhabited land, wantonly slaughtering the Infected Creatures before them.

However, the number of Infected Creatures was, after all, three hundred thousand.

Zerglings charged into the enemy formation and were surrounded, inevitably suffering some casualties.

The Hydralisks were also surrounded by Orc cavalry and Elf mages, and began to suffer casualties.

Only the Roaches had exceptional defense.

Even when surrounded, their heavy carapaces simply wouldn’t be damaged.

“Banelings, attack!”

Su Bai’s mind moved, dispatching 2,000 Banelings to join the battlefield.

The fleshy Banelings rolled forward.

Like waves of green, they crashed head-on into the black cloud formed by the Infected Creatures.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Violent explosions rang out one after another.

Nearly viscous green acid splattered like fireworks in all directions.

Any Infected Creatures touched by this acid had their skin, flesh, and bones completely corroded away within a few seconds.

Zerglings, Hydralisks, and Roaches, mixed in with the Infected Creatures, inevitably also got some green acid on them.

However, their skin and carapaces carried the special genes of the StarCraft Zerg, making them completely immune to the Banelings’ acid corrosion.

Naturally, friendly fire would absolutely not happen.

In a flash, fifteen minutes had passed.

After sacrificing 505 Zerglings and 102 Hydralisks, the three hundred thousand Infected Creatures were reduced to less than one-tenth of their original number.

“At such a small cost, the Infected Creatures from the third round of attacks have been reduced to just over twenty thousand.”

“The Zerg Swarm’s overall strength is indeed incredibly powerful.”

“I estimate the battle will be over in a few more minutes.”

Su Bai’s lips curved into a smile.

Sitting atop the Young Thunder Beast, he leisurely munched on charcoal-grilled duck while watching the Zerg Swarm wreak havoc, appearing completely at ease and unhurried.

“The third round of large-scale attacks was still very easy!”

“Land of Redemption, why can’t you put some pressure on me!”

“Seriously, I’m starting to get a little bored!”

At this moment, almost ninety-nine percent of the Lords in various countries were highly strung, fearing that the Infected Creatures would break through their defenses and invade their territories.

Each one was intensely focused, not daring to even breathe heavily.

A Lord as nonchalant and carefree as Su Bai would be impossible to find a second of, even with a lantern.

Five minutes later.

【Prompt: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, for successfully repelling the third round of large-scale attacks!】

【Prompt: There are two more rounds of large-scale attacks remaining. Please do not give up and continue to persevere!】

“If you ask me, it should be the other way around: please, Infected Creatures, continue to persevere and don’t give up attacking my territory!”

Su Bai laughed loudly, appearing very relaxed.

After the Zerg Swarm retreated to the territory, the Devourers fired Flame Cannonballs.

Burning all the piled-up corpses to ashes… That afternoon.

Two o’clock.

【Announcement: The fourth round of large-scale attacks is about to begin!】

【Announcement: All Lords, please note, in the fourth round of attacks you face, special Infected Creatures will appear. You must respond with extreme caution!】

“Special Infected Creatures?”

Su Bai’s brow twitched slightly.

Could it be that, like the beast tide, another dragon was coming?

The next moment.

“Roar!”

A resonant dragon’s roar echoed throughout the entire world.

In the northern sky, a Red Dragon, six meters long, flapped its wings and flew rapidly towards the territory.

【Infected Red Dragon】

【Quality: Epic】

【Level: Lv35】

【Description: An infected dragon, possessing unparalleled terrifying attack power, losing all sensation of pain, with doubled strength】

At the same time, at the edge of the horizon, dense masses of Infected Creatures surged out again.

This time, there were more types.

In addition to Human Civilians, Kobolds, Goblins, Orcs, and Elves, there were also Giants and Dwarves.

【Prompt: Lord Su Bai, in the fourth round of large-scale attacks, a total of 400,000 Infected Creatures will attack your territory!】

Almost all the monsters appearing in this round were of excellent quality.

Their levels ranged from Lv14 to Lv16.

“A dragon really did come. What a jinx I am…”

Su Bai stood atop the Young Thunder Beast, a black line involuntarily appearing on his face.

The Infected Creatures on land were still over three thousand meters away from the territory.

In the sky, the Infected Red Dragon flew incredibly fast, about to arrive above the Zerg Swarm.

【Warning】

【Hostile flying creature detected above the territory!】

【It has entered the Spore Crawler’s firing range and will initiate automatic attack!】

The three Spore Crawlers’ oval-cylindrical bodies began to swell.

Concentrated acidic spherical plasma spewed out from the hemispherical structures on their tops.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”

This acidic surge was extremely fast, accurately hitting the Red Dragon’s wings.

Accompanied by a violent corrosive sound, a large patch of dragon scales turned into scattered fragments, drifting in the air with the wind.

However, having lost all sensation of pain, these wounds had no effect on the Infected Red Dragon.

“Roar!”

The Red Dragon roared, its speed accelerating again, and spat out a breath of scorching flame, neutralizing the acidic surge fired by the Spore Crawlers.

Thirty Mutalisks flapped their leathery wings, rapidly ascended, and hovered in mid-air.

Their caudal secretion glands churned quickly, ejecting large quantities of wriggling Blade Worms.

The Red Dragon opened its massive maw, and torrents of fiery dragon breath spewed forth.

After incinerating all the Blade Worms, its speed remained undiminished as it continued forward.

The Mutalisks rapidly dodged, barely escaping.

“The level gap is too large; the Mutalisks are no match,” Su Bai looked up at the massive Red Dragon, frowning slightly, “Three Spore Crawlers also can’t kill this dragon.”

At this moment, 400,000 Infected Creatures had approached within a thousand meters of the territory.

Devourers, Hydralisks, and Roaches unleashed their full firepower, launching long-range strikes.

Flame Cannonballs, armor-piercing bone spines, and acidic saliva formed an impenetrable network of firepower.

Infected Creatures died rapidly, in units of thousands.

Although 9,898 Hydralisks could attack airborne targets, they were the main force defending against the Infected Creatures on the ground and couldn’t spare their efforts to deal with the Infected Red Dragon.

“A flying dragon is indeed troublesome to deal with,” Su Bai’s brows were tightly furrowed, forming a ‘ Sichuan’ character.

52 Queens aimed at the sky and fired strong acid spines.

However, they were all melted away by the Red Dragon’s fiery dragon breath.

The Red Dragon fought with increasing ferocity.

It swooped down from the sky, continuously spewing fiery dragon breath, attacking the Zerg Swarm on the ground.

“Banelings, attack!”

Su Bai dispatched 2,500 Banelings to join the battlefield, assisting the Zerglings, Hydralisks, Roaches, and Devourers in combat.

“Lord, I’ll deal with this Red Dragon!”

Kerrigan’s eyes gleamed with battle intent.

“You have a way?” Su Bai’s eyes lit up.

“Yes!”

Kerrigan nodded and replied, “I have already observed the Red Dragon’s movement trajectory and attack patterns. Killing it will not be a problem.”
