Chapter 699 This Is My Last Psychic Power, the Swarm
After all attacks were ineffective against Lin Fan, the Queen made her most correct decision, letting the Zerg give up protecting the mothership and move to other star regions.
The death of Queen Norn would disconnect the fleet from the Internet and turn it into a brainless beast group.
Her death would also interrupt the Tyrant's memory preservation work and make it impossible to complete adaptive evolution.
However, she had other ways to complete the task of descending the hive. She instilled commands and psychic energy into other node organisms in advance, so that they could rely on this psychic power to maintain the Zerg from completely falling apart.
The corpse-collecting insects avoided Lin Fan's path and used spore capsules to go to other living warships. They contained part of the genetic code left by the Queen in their bodies. Next, the Zerg would rely on these old data to ensure survival.
The work progressed steadily, and Queen Norn left as much precious knowledge as possible to the surviving node organisms.
There was too much information to be transmitted, and Lin Fan arrived too fast.
"Alas. You amazing little thing." Lin Fan could hear the sigh of psychic weaving clearly. The cavity that contained the queen was empty, and there was no insect responsible for protection.
There was also a knife insect on Lin Fan's leg. It hugged Lin Fan's calf tightly, trying to slow him down.
After shaking his feet a few times, he failed to shake off the insect, so Lin Fan could only crush the insect with his other foot.
"What are you?"
"Is this the hive mind talking to me?"
"Yes."
"I am your father."
The Norn Queen died, and the hive mind's control over the swarm was interrupted. He looked at the Silent King blankly and found that the cold metal skeleton that had blocked him for a long time was gloating.
What should I do next? Avoid him? But this thing seemed to come from a long way away, specifically to interrupt the swarm's feeding.
As a last resort, the hive mind could only let the swarm on the other side of the galaxy speed up the pace of attack and break through the defense line formed by the fear of death.
The Genestealers spread throughout the galaxy are the vanguard of the Hive Mind. They use spores, broken space hulks, and various accidents to land on the planet.
They will sneak into dark corners and use their abilities to build nests to call the Hive Fleet.
Countless people gathered under the banner of the sect, cheering the arrival of heavenly life under the shadow of the swarm. Only a few people can wake up from ignorance and fanaticism and realize that the swarm is just a diners who want to eat them.
The nest built by the Genestealers is so dazzling in the eyes of the Hive Mind that he learned the name of the next canteen from the Genestealers' psychic communication.
Holy Terra.
VK-01 galaxy, the swarm fled and became a mess after the death of Queen Norn.
The small swarms that were not given tasks and node creatures were controlled by biological instincts, and the strong hunger prompted them to attack other insects around them.
Lin Fan dug a comfortable pit on the Devourer living battleship, and he lay in it to enjoy the spectacular scene of the swarm biting each other.
After killing so many bugs, Lin Fan was more or less tired.
He had cut down all the capillary towers on the planet, and he had also killed all the artillery positions formed by the swarm of bugs. He had also cut the earthworm-level biochemical Titan that had broken through the ground of the fortress into pieces.
But what was the use?
Lin Fan touched his chin and thought, he was terrified to kill the bugs on this planet, but there were more than one place in the galaxy that was invaded by the swarm of bugs.
"Manpower is limited~" Lin Fan sighed, then jumped onto the Void Phoenix fighter that flashed above his head and headed for the surface of the planet.
The soldiers were dealing with the Tyranid plants and bug corpses that had grown on the planet.
This tragic battlefield would only make people feel excited and happy at the moment of victory. When the mind cooled down in the fishy wind, the fatigue of the body and the weakness of the spirit would be magnified again and again.
With difficulty, he opened his eyes, looking at the mess and blood everywhere, thinking of his comrades and compatriots who had left them forever.
The lasting pain grew after the war, and deepened again and again in the bitter process of cleaning up the battlefield.
The insect corpses were cleaned up and piled up into small peaks that were bleeding and smelling.
There were other insects that were not completely dead. The soldiers of the Tau Empire surrounded the mountain in circles, alert to the abnormality of the mountain of corpses.
"It's really... too tragic." Volani didn't know what to say, but Commander Tan had died in the invasion of the earthworm-level biochemical Titan. He was the highest commander of this group of remnants.
"We won, but it was a miserable victory." Kravos also sighed, and the life monitoring board in his hand was full of red dots proving death.
One legion after another was annihilated in the planetary defense war, entered the stomach of the insects, was digested and decomposed, and turned into the mountain of corpses in front of them.
Now they are incinerating and reusing the mountain of corpses, building new weapons, and pulling more soldiers to guard this planet.
"Will we get support next time?"
"Then we might as well pray that the bugs won't come again."
Wolani heard the footsteps behind him, and he hurriedly turned back to salute Lin Fan and his group.
"No need to be polite, just do your work, has the communication been restored?" Lin Fan asked.
"As soon as the swarm of insects retreated, the communication was restored, and the new spiritual department you brought is contacting the support fleet."
"Very good, then you and the reinforcements will eliminate the scattered swarms of insects, and I may have to go to other places to put out fires and kill some big bugs or something."
"Sir, I want to ask you a question." Klavos on the side suddenly spoke, and he quickly and standardly performed the Good Eagle Salute.
Lin Fan nodded, motioning him to continue.
"Those members of the new spiritual department. Are they human? To be honest, some of them are pretty. Too much. Are they nobles from the upper echelons of the hive city?"
Klavos's question can be called stupid, but considering the scarcity of the Eldar and their mysterious style, it is normal that they don't know the existence of the Eldar.
"Those are Eldar, also aliens, and now allies."
"Aliens. They are more like humans than I thought. At least more like the Tau." Klavos didn't say the second half of the sentence. He didn't want to be accused of destroying the unity of the alliance.
"Okay, Klavos, don't waste your time with such boring questions!" Volani warned Klavos seriously, telling him not to think too much.
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. This kind of thing will happen many times in the future.
Irafren hugged Lin Fan's arm and said in front of Volani and Kravos, "I am not just an ally, I am the master's slave~"
