33: Chapter 33 Crisis, New Zerg Units

"It hasn't been strengthened at all!?"

Su Yang was somewhat surprised, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

He had assumed that after the last reconnaissance was discovered, the Tyranids would definitely have taken action.

But now it seemed that there was still only one defensive squad around the pasture.

In this case, he only needed to follow the method of the first attack on the nest.

Prioritize annihilating the Xenomorphs squad on the ground, then guard the entrance to kill the Xenomorphs inside the nest.

Although he had doubts, Su Yang still let the troops continue to execute the order.

After all, having traveled such a long distance, it was impossible to return empty-handed just like that.

Moreover, with the strength of the Great Qin Armored Soldiers, they were fully capable of handling some emergencies.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Before fully launching the offensive, Su Yang had the Scout conduct a second reconnaissance.

This time, the scope was expanded to the surroundings of the nest.

The goal was to check if there were any ambushed Tyranids in the vicinity.

After checking a circle, the Scout found nothing.

The nest pasture was like an undefended vault, free to enter and exit.

As the sky grew dark, Su Yang stopped considering and directly let the team take action.

He split off a six-man squad to snipe the Xenomorphs team on the ground.

The other four squads merged into one large unit.

12 Armored Elite Soldiers surrounded the entrance, and 12 Armored Crossbowmen provided support from the rear.

If the pasture was really as calm as it appeared on the surface, then this battle would be easily won.

"Kill!!"

Su Yang gave the order in a low voice and followed the troops, charging toward the dim pasture.

The steam power units operated at maximum efficiency, emitting a roar.

The Armored Soldiers rushed out of the dense forest like wild beasts, quickly dividing into two teams.

One team went straight for the defensive Xenomorphs squad on the ground.

The other team went straight to the nest entrance.

Hiss—

Discovering the enemy's invasion, the Tyranid Brain Bug woke up instantly, shaking its antennae quickly and emitting high-frequency sound waves.

The surrounding Stinger Bugs also screamed and greeted the Armored squad.

Although these Stinger Bugs were no longer the lowest-level Stinger Bugs.

But they still had no power to fight back in front of the Armored squad.

The Crossbowmen in the squad fired their crossbows while moving at high speed.

Three crossbow bolts shot out, accurately piercing the torsos of the Stinger Bugs without a hair's breadth of error.

The remaining 7 Stinger Bugs reached the Armored Elite Soldiers.

In a combat state, a Level 1 Armored Elite Soldier can fight up to 2 Stinger Bugs without injury.

And after rising to Level 2, an Armored Elite Soldier can fight at least 3 Stinger Bugs without injury.

In front of the Armored Elite Soldiers who had reached Level 2, 7 Stinger Bugs were no different from 0 Stinger Bugs.

The broad-bladed bronze sword pierced the dimness, glowing with silver light.

In less than 10 seconds, the Stinger Bug squad was decomposed into debris and scattered all over the ground.

The Tyranid Brain Bug behind them could not escape death either.

[Killed Level 4 Tyranid Brain Bug, command points + 150]

[Killed Level 2 Tyranid Stinger, command points + 30]

[Killed Level 2 Tyranid Stinger, command points + 30]

...

The Tyranid Brain Bug died, and the shrill insect chirping disappeared.

The dense forest returned to calm.

However, this calm was the greatest unrest.

The Tyranid Brain Bug had already sent a signal, why was there no movement inside the nest?

Su Yang's eyes were heavy, staring at the pitch-black nest entrance.

According to the situation of the last attack on the nest, the inside of the nest would respond immediately after the Tyranid Brain Bug sent a signal.

This time, the inside of the nest was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

Where were the Xenomorphs?

Could it be that they also participated in the attack yesterday and all died outside the base?

The possibility was too small; this place was too far from the territory, and the Level 2 Gaze of the Abyss could not possibly attract a nest from so far away.

After waiting for another period of time, there was still no reaction from inside the nest.

Su Yang immediately called over the Scout, preparing to let him go deep into the nest to investigate.

When things are abnormal, there must be monsters; he had to figure out the situation before entering the cave.

Just after thinking about the strategy, Su Yang suddenly felt his body undulating up and down.

It was as if he was standing on one of those inflatable castles from his past life, his body rising and falling with the air cushion.

What is going on?

Hypoglycemia from not eating?

He looked down at his feet.

He saw the wet, soft ground covered with humus surging like waves.

What is this...

"Your Majesty!!"

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu roared and flew over to tackle Su Yang away.

In the process of flying out.

Su Yang saw that the place where he had just been standing had actually bulged up.

The originally flat ground instantly turned into a small hill.

There was something underground!!

Su Yang was struck by lightning, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Buzz roar—

Accompanied by a thunderous roar.

A pitch-black, huge Xenomorph broke through the ground!

It was nearly 5 meters long, and its head had a 3-meter-long sharp hammer-shaped hard object.

Its body was bloated, and four sturdy limbs supported its huge body.

It was more like an amphibian like a lizard, not an arthropod like a Stinger Bug.

Below that lizard monster that broke through the ground was a 2-meter-wide hole that had just been dug.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

In an instant, the sound of Tyranid movement rang out!

Roars poured out from both entrances at the same time.

This lizard monster directly dug a hole to the center of the battlefield, allowing the Stinger Bugs to pour out from the middle, avoiding the soldiers' blockade of the entrance!

Sure enough, the Tyranids were not without reaction; they had set a trap based on his tactics for attacking the nest!

The entrance was just bait; after his side was all surrounded by the entrance.

The lizard monster then opened a hole in the rear of the team, forming a pincer movement with the nest!

Is this the Tyranid!!

Su Yang's thoughts were surging in his brain, constantly predicting the next actions of the Tyranids.

Prioritize dealing with that monster!

Su Yang gave an order, and fifteen heavy crossbows fired at the same time.

The crossbow bolts whistled toward the behemoth.

The lizard-like monster lay on the ground, using its head's sharp hammer to cover its entire torso.

Clang, clang, clang—

As if hitting a rock, the crossbow bolts lost all kinetic energy the moment they hit the sharp hammer.

Taking advantage of the gap in the crossbowmen, the lizard-like monster howled and plunged into the ground.

It still wanted to dig another hole to block all directions of the team!

"Retreat!"

Su Yang issued an emergency order, letting the team directly abandon the entrance.

Even fighting on the ground was safer than being surrounded.

Especially since the Crossbowmen didn't have high armor; if they were surrounded, it would definitely cause casualties.

However, once one steps into a Tyranid trap, one cannot just retreat if one wants to.

Hiss ah—

Stinger Bugs poured out like a tide from the two holes in front and behind.

They roared and growled, vowing to tear the intruders to pieces...
