173: Chapter 175 The Zerg Emerge

Boom— Boom— Several giant Xenomorphs charged out one after another, overturning the remaining tanks.

Under the jaws of these giant Xenomorphs, the tank armor was as fragile as soda crackers.

"F*** your Holy Mother Mary!!"

Watching helplessly as three tanks turned into scrap metal, Hakimi was dumbfounded.

He bolted, running toward the other side of the small river without looking back.

The river was the boundary between the two regions.

And Xenomorphs generally would not easily leave the region where they could live comfortably.

So as long as he crossed the small river, he would be able to escape disaster!

The army lost here was nothing; once he returned to his territory, he would surely be able to make a comeback!

Rat-tat-tat— Hiss—

Behind him, the battlefield had already turned into a sea of fire.

The 500-man battalion was swallowed by the Insect Swarm, and the machine gun squad was destroyed by Xenomorphs emerging from the ground.

The fuel tanks and ammunition depots of various vehicles exploded with deafening sounds.

Hakimi sprinted toward the small river with all his might, and when he finally reached the edge, he leaped with everything he had.

His slightly rotund body traced a graceful arc across the stream and landed on the opposite bank.

Back on normal ground, Hakimi felt as if he had just been given a second chance at life.

Looking back at the purgatory-like scene on the other side, anger surged in his heart.

Damn bugs, to think they destroyed his army just like that!

Once he obtained more military funds, he would definitely wash the Heart of the Hive in blood!

"FUCK YOU!!"

Hakimi stood up and flipped a middle finger at the opposite bank.

Suddenly, he saw the space in front of him flicker.

? Was his vision blurring?

Before he could wonder, a Xenomorph, standing upright in a humanoid form over 3 meters tall, appeared before his eyes.

Its head was triangular, and a pair of protruding horns on top were as complex and massive as reindeer antlers.

Its whole body was covered in pale blue crystal shells, and bone spurs protruded from its joints.

Its right hand held a giant bone blade, while its left arm was composed entirely of vine-like plants.

A Tyranid Warrior.

Hakimi was stunned; the moment the Tyranid Warrior appeared, his breathing stopped.

The middle finger he had held high slowly lowered.

However, the scene he expected of being slashed to death did not occur.

He noticed that the Xenomorph just stood on the opposite bank without taking action.

It hadn't realized that the regional passage had opened! Hope reignited in Hakimi's heart.

No matter how powerful the bugs were, they were just bugs; their intelligence and adaptability could not compare to humans!

Leaving their comfortable birthplace was an act that defied their ancestors and biological instincts!

The bugs couldn't possibly violate...

Step— A splashing sound rang out as the Tyranid Warrior on the opposite bank stepped one foot into the small river.

Hakimi gave a bitter smile. Did it want to wash its feet?

Step, step— After stepping in, the Tyranid Warrior seemed to realize something and took two steps forward, crossing the small river directly.

"Die! Die! Just die!!"

Hakimi's last nerve snapped, and he raised his assault rifle to fire forward.

The gun vibrated, muzzle flashes flickered, and bullets whizzed out.

The Tyranid Warrior did not dodge or avoid; it braved the automatic rifle fire and walked all the way to Hakimi.

Bullets were constantly deflected by its pale blue chest armor, ricocheting in other directions.

"Ah—" Hakimi screamed and collapsed to the ground; a bullet shattered his kneecap and penetrated his thigh.

"No! No!!"

He stared fixedly at the slowly approaching Tyranid Warrior, shaking his head frantically and shouting.

Fear had completely swallowed him.

The Warrior crossed the river and stepped onto the ground of the other birthplace.

Compared to the boring creature screaming on the ground, the surrounding environment seemed to attract it more.

After scanning its surroundings completely, it lowered its head to look at Hakimi.

It raised its left hand; three fingers made of pale purple vines twisted and deformed.

They intertwined and extended forward, quickly crawling onto the rifle Hakimi had discarded on the ground.

The vines hooked onto the rifle and retracted quickly, swallowing the entire rifle into its arm.

After swallowing it, the Tyranid Warrior stabbed its blade into Hakimi's right ribcage, lifting him up from the ground.

Hakimi clutched the bone blade with both hands, his legs dangling and shaking.

"Don't... I was wrong... I was wrong... Don't kill me... I'll give you money... Take it..."

Amidst Hakimi's painful screams, the Warrior raised its left arm again.

The arm made of vines writhed and opened outward, and a structure resembling a rifle extended out.

Although it was similar to a gun, its entire body was adhered to by some kind of biological tissue.

The muzzle had expanded several times over, and the gun body rose and fell with the swaying of the vines, as if it were breathing.

Rat-tat-tat— The gun grown from the Warrior's left arm fired suddenly, spitting a burst of crystal-shelled bullets at Hakimi's head.

The powerful firepower blasted his head apart in an instant, blowing his skull cap clean off.

Along with Hakimi's screams, the battle in the rear also ceased.

All human soldiers had been wiped out, and various Xenomorphs were lying on the ground, frantically gnawing on the corpses.

Hiss— The Tyranid Warrior raised its bone blade high, roaring as it pointed at the newly stepped-upon continent.

The Xenomorph army received the order, stopped eating, and charged forward, trampling over the corpses.

The army crossed the unassuming stream, surging like a tide into the brand-new continent.

[Three-Party Alliance meeting room]

[Lord of France: These Xenomorphs are definitely not a normal evolution. After killing them, in addition to dropping command points, they also drop something called Psionic Energy.]

[US Lord: Psionic Energy? Is it a material or an energy source?]

[Lord of France: Not sure yet, but Xenomorphs that drop Psionic Energy are much stronger in combat than other ordinary Xenomorphs.]

[US Lord: Perhaps it's some kind of critical technical resource. I'll send a research team over.]

[Lord of Japan: I will also send a research team. Now we must seize every possibility to surpass the Dragon Kingdom.]

[Lord of Australia: This morning, my reconnaissance unit discovered that a slender structure seems to have appeared on the Wailing Mountains.]

[US Lord: A man-made structure? Didn't you say it was impossible to climb the Wailing Mountains?]

[Lord of Australia: Absolutely impossible. The wind speed at the base of the mountains is at least level 11; higher up, it's unimaginable.]

[US Lord: Then what's the situation? A reconnaissance error or some refraction phenomenon?]

[Lord of Australia: I sent two squads to investigate; the specific situation will be reported tomorrow.]

[Lord of Japan: By the way, Poland shouldn't have any mountain barriers; what's the situation on his side?]
