MTL - Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid-Chapter 392 nest mother's stomach
"What's the difference between what you said and what I just thought?"
Garona growled in dissatisfaction, but she quickly realized it.
The key point of what she said just now was "fighting", but the key point of what Lao Chen said was "not to leave anyone alive"!
In the current situation, it is almost impossible for all five of them to sneak in without telling the bugman general, so the only option left is "fight".
But if you fight, you will definitely alarm the enemy, and the infiltration operation will be considered a failure.
But Lao Chen's "no survivors" can be regarded as an open mind for everyone. Since the enemy will be alarmed if he goes on, he must alarm the enemy at a minimum. No survivors mean that no enemy will survive to tell If the nest mother is attacked by enemies, the nest mother will not be able to know the details of the infiltrator.
In this way, even if the nest mother finds that she has lost contact with her offspring in this area and realizes that an enemy has sneaked in, she cannot immediately make a targeted counterattack.
Several people looked at Lao Chen with admiration, as expected of someone who had participated in the rescue of the Red Dragon Queen.
"Okay, then stop talking nonsense. Niebuhr is in charge of reconnaissance, and clears the field before the big guy is dealt with. Garona is going to stun the enemy with a blow. Do you remember the body structure of the insects that the priest said?"
Garona flashed her dagger to express her understanding, and Lao Chen nodded and continued.
"After I went to stand up to the big guy, the magister provided fire support, and the priest did the healing work. After the task was assigned, I started working."
The infiltration operation was changed to an advance operation. With Lao Chen as the captain, the team efficiently cleaned up all the enemies and advanced steadily. After cleaning up the three bugman generals and all the bugs along the way, Kel'Thuzad sincerely extended a thumbs up to Lao Chen during the break.
While old Chen accepted the respect with peace of mind, he couldn't help saying it with emotion.
"In that mission in Grim Batol, the commander of the team was Li De. He did it more perfectly than me. I learned all this from him."
Niebuhr laughed from the sidelines.
"I just said why I can enter the state so quickly. When the master is commanding, I have a feeling of going back to a few years ago and fighting with the teacher."
Old Chen laughed and praised Niebuhr again.
"It's really thanks to you that the advance operation is so smooth. I didn't expect you to be so proficient in using the power of loa at such a young age. Combined with your shadow hunter ability, no bug can escape under your hands."
Niebuhr was a little embarrassed to be praised.
"It all stems from the greatness of Ganizun. I'm just being a good medium."
While he was saying this, more than a dozen thin and small slender jaw dragons came out from the gap in the cave, holding palm-sized worms in their mouths, and these slender jaw dragons took the worms in their mouths in the blink of an eye. Swallow it all into the stomach.
Although the slender jaw dragon looked thin and weak in front of giant bugs, it was definitely the natural enemy of small bugs. It is the joint result of Niebuhr's talent and hard work to be able to use the power of the slender jawed dragon Loa so freely. In terms of loa beliefs, Niebuhr is indeed a genius, he is one of the rare people who can use all the power of the three loa statues in the vast sea, and among these three statues, Niebuhr has been taught the most by Old Gani.
"Okay, it's almost time to rest, let's move on."
Lao Chen patted his **** and got up, and at the same time stuffed the remaining half of the magic bread into his mouth.
The worm nest caves are continuous, and the five-person team can only go deep in the constant turning and turning. In the end, even Shiloma began to doubt himself. The huge gap with practice made her a little anxious.
Fortunately, Garona and Niebuhr, who had the best sense of direction in the team, soothed Shiloma in time.
"Don't worry, the overall route you planned is correct, and we are indeed heading towards the depths."
Finally, the team came to a different chamber. The area here was so large that it didn't look like it was underground at all. It was at least the size of two football fields. What's even more strange is that there are large tracts of "plants" growing underground at an unknown distance from the ground!
Seeing the scene here, Shilomar's face changed drastically.
"This is the nest mother's stomach!"
"what?!"
The rest of the people looked at Shiloma in surprise.
"Several, do you still remember what I said about Zerg's feeding habits at the academic exchange meeting?"
Except for Garona who had never attended this meeting, the other three all nodded, and Kel'Thuzad even repeated what she said.
"You said that the Zerg's main feeding method is to pick up organic matter in the soil, and to dig underground veins to absorb energy. These theories were all confirmed during the dissection of the bugs?"
Kel'Thuzad felt a little strange, but Xilomar's expression was particularly dignified.
"These conclusions are just conclusions I have come to when studying missing samples in the past, and they are true for weak Zerg individuals and chaotic swarms.
After arriving here, with the in-depth study of living captives, I found that when the swarms were organized and moved towards a higher social form, they would show a production mode of group labor and feeding. "
This is what the sharp-eyed old Chen discovered, and he pointed to the distance with his sharp eyes and said to Shiloma.
"Do you mean there? Collective hunting, after transporting the prey to the stomach, then collectively divide the prey's corpse?"
In the direction that Chen Stormstout points to, there are piles of dead animals, scavengers, wild crystal scale lizards, scavengers, fire rocs, ordinary desert scorpions that do not belong to the Zerg... the wild ground of Tanaris The animals were almost wiped out!
There are bugs constantly carrying corpses from here, cutting them into pieces, and then transporting them away together. Seeing this scene, Kel'Thuzad said somewhat puzzled.
"Are they going to eat these pieces of meat? No large animal tissue was found in their stomachs when they were dissected."
Shilomar gave the answer.
"These aren't food for the bugs, they're fertilizer."
"fertilizer?"
"Yes, it's their fertilizer."
Shiloma pointed to the red "plants". They were crimson and weird, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Those things are not plants, but a kind of fungus similar to mushrooms. Their name is Haemophilus, which feed on the flesh and blood of animals, and their mature hyphae are rich in energy.
I have also studied blood-thirsty bacteria before, but I have never seen such a huge and large-scale growth of blood-thirsty bacteria on the ground, so that I almost didn't recognize it just now.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that the swarm would plant bloodthirsty bacteria underground! "
This conclusion shocked several people. The two words, bugs and planting, seemed irrelevant, but there was no other explanation for the scene in front of them.
Niebuhr couldn't help clicking his tongue with emotion.
"You want to hunt animals and feed these bloodthirsty bacteria with animal carcasses, these bugs are too evil..."
Speaking of this, Niebuhr's words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't continue. Because he found that the things he blamed on the bugs were all things they had done by themselves. The breeding center of the Protectorate of the Vast Sea regularly hunts down the bugs in the Corrosion Nest, and makes them into feed to feed the lizards.
It is normal for the guards of the vast sea to do the same thing. Is it evil to replace it with bugs to do similar things?
Niebuhr, who had never thought about such complicated issues, felt that his brain was not enough for a while. At this moment, Chen Stormstout knocked Niebuhr on the head with his transformed jointed limbs.
"You are Li De's student, how much have you learned about the general guard?"
Niebuhr woke up suddenly, and said with some shame.
"I followed my teacher and mainly studied military affairs."
"You still have a lot to learn. I once asked the guardian about this question: When people consider their own interests and the interests of others, they never use the same standard. Does this mean that this person is selfish and hypocritical? ?”
Hearing what Old Chen said, everyone listened seriously, wanting to know what Li De had to say about this matter.
"Heh, time is running out, so I'll make a long story short. Li De said a lot, but I think the most valuable words are:
‘Don’t be overly hostile to or elevate abstract people. Interest is a neutral term. It’s the instinct of all people to talk about interests. There is no one who doesn’t talk about interests.
People change, and it is normal to turn one's face against others and change positions. The important thing is whose interests are emphasized in the process. UU reading www.uukanshu. It is selfish to only seek profit for oneself; it is righteousness to seek profit for oneself and the people around you; and it is selfless to be willing to benefit more people in the same camp and class as oneself.
As for those who blindly eulogize or criticize the abstract human form, and are even willing to consider the gains and losses for the hostile camp and class, they are the biggest fools.
Before we can get rid of the **** of material to the body, it is better to consider our own interests more. Seeking profit for oneself, for those like oneself, for profit of those who can benefit oneself, is not in itself a sin.
Right and wrong, good and evil, are just things that exist on the basis of enemies, camps and classes. '"
After Lao Chen finished speaking, everyone had different opinions on Li De.
'The Du Hu is still majestic and unique as always. '
Such an evaluation was given by Kel'Thuzad.
‘Why is this Li De Duhu a nihilist? Could it be that he believes in shadows...or death? ! Does Shandris know this? '
Shilomar expressed deep concern.
'Not guilty? It seems that I still underestimated this one. '
Garona closed her eyes slightly, not knowing what to think.
Niebuhr, however, was too lazy to have any mental activities, and directly said it in disbelief.
"I can't believe the teacher said this!"
