Bab 186: Chapter 185
The two types of insects were doing something strange.
They chewed the rocks into pieces and then used their mucus to combine the pieces together. Finally, they stuck the pieces together to form strange rocks. The rocks were covered with many holes, allowing the soldiers to enter and exit from them.
It looked like they were building nests, but why did the Inca and Aztec insects start building nests together after communicating with each other?
The Cephalus didn't know much about it, but all the rocks it was building were very similar to the nests the two insects built with rocks.
Lin felt that they were preparing for something, but it shouldn't have anything to do with the war …
Speaking of war, Lin felt that the war should have ended by now, and only destruction could end it.
Lin had been calculating the various situations that would occur during the war. If they fought head-on, what were the chances of winning? But many things could only be understood through actual combat. In fact, Lin's army was much smaller than the Inca, but in terms of strength, Lin had the advantage.
Now, with the damage caused by the previous bombardment, it was time for an all-out war.
The only problem was, could Lin hurt the Hometree? Most of the Inca insects were hiding inside the Hometree, which was a troublesome problem. This was also the main reason why Lin hadn't directly attacked them. At first, Lin didn't think that it was possible to directly fight them, as it felt like suicide. However, Lin had recently discovered a new method that might be able to directly remove the Inca insects from the Hometree.
But now, there was no need to use this tactic.
Because the Inca insects seemed to be ready. Their army once again walked out of the Hometree, and they didn't gather in one place like before. Instead, they moved towards Lin's location …
After a short interlude, it seemed that the Inca insects were planning to end everything.
The two armies would probably meet in the center of the Inca insects' territory. If they were on the ground, they would be in the Shining Forest. But it wasn't where Lin's base was, it was far away.
Lin's Flyer had been following the Inca insects' army, observing their movements. Just like before, they used a large number of medium sized troops to coordinate with the large sized troops. The small sized troops didn't seem to be participating in the battle, they were all hiding.
The Inca insects had more types of troops than before, most of which were modified from the previous ones. Lin didn't know exactly what kind of abilities they had. Previously, the Inca insects would test out different types of soldiers, but Lin hadn't seen them do that recently.
Because of the size of the army, Lin estimated that it would take at least two days to get close to the enemy. Right now, Lin was also studying some virus infections.
Ever since Lin discovered the infected shark, many creatures that drank from the river showed symptoms of infection. Lin discovered that the virus was more harmful to vertebrates and could even kill them. However, it only had mild effects on arthropods, such as intermittent dizziness. Leg twitches and other symptoms would completely disappear as time passed. This virus spread very quickly, and all the creatures living near the river were showing the same symptoms.
In addition, this virus had no effect on plants.
Lin's further research found that the virus was mainly concentrated near the brain of these creatures. Although it wasn't very harmful, it could still affect cell activity and cause the creature's movements to become uncoordinated. Furthermore, it could even parasitize certain types of immune cells, causing the 'immune army' in the body to become weaker. This way, even if the creature didn't die from the virus, it could still be invaded by other types of viruses and fungi, causing the weakened immune cells to die.
The virus was transmitted through the body fluids of living creatures, it could be transmitted through prey or reproduction. Although the river's water was constantly replenished, and Lin believed that there would be no more problems soon, the virus could still continue to spread in the Twisted Jungle.
Lin had rarely seen a virus that could attack immune cells. Although this virus was as simple as a normal virus to Lin, it was much more troublesome for other creatures. Lin was currently looking for creatures that had evolved to resist the virus. Among the many types of creatures, there had to be some that could resist the virus.
Furthermore, it was easy for Lin to kill the virus herself, but it was difficult to control the spread of the virus. This was also why Lin didn't like to attack with viruses.
Lin still didn't understand what a virus was. They seemed to be something that specialized in killing cells. Without cells, they were no different from rocks or sand. They couldn't move, and they couldn't live on their own.
This strange species had never evolved into other creatures, but they would strengthen themselves according to the immune strength of the cells. In the hundreds of millions of years of history, they had basically been constantly sticking to the cells and killing them. The cells had already evolved into such a plentiful multicellular organism, but the virus was still doing this. Viruses were really strange creatures …
But if these viruses were really harmful, then it would be very troublesome. Since the Inca bugs liked to attack the Twisted Jungle so much, Lin decided to attack their 'jungle' as well.
Currently, the two armies were about a few hundred kilometers away from each other. Because they couldn't meet immediately, Lin decided to attack from a distance. Lin had prepared a type of super fast flying unit, just like the Reapers. They used rapid acceleration and a large number of explosive bugs attached to their wings to burst out. They could sprint through the air at extreme speed and quickly throw explosive bombs at their targets while diving.
Lin called them the 'Dive Bombers'.
Each of these Bombers was only 1.5 meters long, but they were extremely fast. Lin believed that the [Exploding Armor] wouldn't be able to stop them. They weren't equipped with normal bombs, but rather a kind of hybrid sphere. The moment the sphere hit the ground, a large number of tentacles would erupt from it. These tentacles could reach up to 10 meters in length in an instant by relying on the sphere to kill and devour all nearby creatures, using them as nutrients to continue growing.
These were the 'Spreading Tentacles' that Lin had developed based on the Vine Ferns that had suddenly multiplied in the desert. They could cover a large area in a short period of time, and Lin wanted to use them to destroy the Inca insectoid's excavation and breeding grounds. Especially since the breeding grounds had a high density of creatures, Lin's attack could instantly destroy the system and cut off the Inca insectoid's food supply.
It was currently noon. Lin's army stopped moving. A total of 100 Dive Bombers took off from the rear of Lin's army and rushed towards the Inca bug's territory.
But before that, they would fly over the Inca bug's army.
I wonder if their anti-air capabilities are still as bad as before. Floating astronomy.
