Chapter 368 Long-armed Rat
"Ignore them. As long as they don't come and snatch the Zerg from us, we'll just pretend we didn't see them!" Nangong Jingming frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness on his face. He knew that this forest was vast and beyond his control. If Liu Yan's team insisted on following him, he had no way to stop them. As long as it didn't affect his team's operations, he didn't want to dwell on it.
"Well, I'll keep an eye on them," Meng Weigang nodded, his tone firm. He knew his duty well; protecting the team's safety and ensuring smooth operations was his primary priority. Naturally, he would keep a close eye on Liu Yan's team's movements.
"Well, don't be too serious." Nangong Jingming waved his hand and said calmly. He didn't want the team members to be distracted by the matter of Liu Yan's team. After all, in this dangerous forest, they could encounter various challenges at any time, and they needed to maintain a high level of concentration.
They didn't walk far before they encountered another group of Zerg.
"Captain, this is a scutellar. They have a strong reproductive capacity and are very numerous. They're a Level 1 Zerg, but the highest level is Level 4. I wonder if there are any Level 4 scutellar here?" Chen Zeyu narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the scutellar before him. Then, turning around, he introduced it in detail to everyone. His eyes revealed his familiarity and understanding of the Zerg. During his interstellar explorations, he had seen all sorts of Zerg species and was naturally well-versed in the characteristics of the scutellar.
"This is truly a large number! Everyone, prepare for battle." Nangong Jingming's sharp eyes discerned the staggering number of long-armed rats. He immediately realized it would be a difficult battle, and without hesitation, he ordered everyone to board their mechas and prepare for battle. His voice was firm and powerful, imbued with the authority of a commander, instantly energizing the team members into combat mode.
The long-armed rats, with long arms and a long tail, were very fast, yet small, only about the size of a basketball. They gathered densely, like a black tide, constantly surging. Their sheer number and speed made it difficult to hit them. To ensure the safety of his team, Nangong Jingming decisively ordered everyone to enter the mechas to fight.
The mecha's weapons were clearly superior against large numbers of long-armed rats. As soon as the team members entered the mecha, they quickly activated the weapon systems, and various laser cannons and energy guns were aimed at the long-armed rats.
Soon they started a fierce battle with the long-armed rats. The large number of long-armed rats did not make Nangong Jingming's team retreat, but instead inspired their fighting spirit. Nangong Jingming looked at the battle scene in front of him and shouted orders, allowing his teammates to use the weapons of the mecha without worry.
This thrilled the team members. Seeing tens of thousands of long-armed rats before them, their hearts were filled with a desire to fight. A single volley of artillery fire killed and wounded hundreds of them, a spectacular sight that sent their blood boiling. They expertly operated their mechas, weaving back and forth among the rats, slaying them relentlessly. Laser beams flashed through the forest, the rats' screams echoed, and the entire battlefield was filled with a tense and intense atmosphere.
After two hours of fierce fighting, they finally succeeded in eliminating all the long-armed rats. The team members walked out of the mecha and looked at the long-armed rat corpses on the ground, with tired but satisfied smiles on their faces.
"There are so many long-armed rats here, which means there must be more nearby, but they might be a bit far away. Should we continue searching?" Chen Zeyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over to Nangong Jingming, and looked at him. His eyes were filled with a hint of inquiry, but also with anticipation for further exploration. In his heart, Nangong Jingming's decisions were always wise, and he trusted the captain to make the right choice.
"Of course we have to keep looking. Such a large number of Zerg isn't easy to come across," Nangong Jingming said firmly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. In his view, such a large-scale Zerg battle was not only a test, but also a great opportunity to improve his strength and acquire resources. How could he let it go so easily?
Chen Zeyu actually wanted to say that if it were an ordinary team, seeing so many long-armed rats, they would probably run away halfway. Not only did they not run away, they also directly eliminated all the long-armed rats. This was not enough, and they wanted to continue looking. He secretly sighed in his heart, the strength and courage of Nangong Jingming's team were truly admirable.
There are tens of thousands of these long-armed rats in a group. Usually, there are such a group of Zerg. If we really go to their lair, there will definitely be long-armed rats of higher levels.
"If we find the center, there will definitely be level 4 Long-armed Rats, or even higher." Chen Zeyu frowned slightly, his tone tinged with worry and a hint of anticipation. He was well aware of the mystery and danger of this forest. The army hadn't fully explored it yet, and there might be all kinds of unknown and powerful Zerg hidden within.
"Then let me have a proper meeting." Nangong Jingming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. His eyes gleamed with determination. In his heart, level 4, or even level 5 or 6 Zerg, were no match for him. After this period of continuous battles with the Zerg, he had gradually figured out the Zerg's level divisions and combat characteristics, and he was full of confidence for the next challenge.
"Since the captain is so confident, let's go now!" Chen Zeyu looked at Nangong Jingming's confident expression, and his worries immediately dissipated. He then looked at his other teammates, who also looked confident and in high spirits.
He was filled with joy, feeling incredibly honored to be accompanying such a motivated and capable team. The experiences along the way had truly broadened his horizons and filled him with anticipation for the battles ahead. After a brief rest, Nangong Jingming's team resumed their search for the Zerg, heading deeper into the forest.
As they were fighting fiercely with the long-armed rat with extremely long arms, the sounds and vibrations they made naturally could not escape the sharp vision and hearing perception of Liu Yan's team.
Liu Yan stood in the distance, witnessing this thrilling battle. He felt a strong urge in his heart to rush over and help them fight these ferocious long-armed rats. However, just as he was about to take a step forward, the words Nangong Jingming had said to him suddenly echoed in his mind.
Those words were like a warning bell, ringing in his mind, forcing him to re-evaluate the current situation and the possible consequences of his actions. After a brief and difficult inner struggle, Liu Yan finally decided to follow Nangong Jingming's advice, restraining her impulsive behavior and not directly participating in the fierce battle ahead.
