Boom!
Boom, boom!
Shimmering spheres of light ignited across various regions of the globe within a single minute.
Terrifying explosions formed spectacular mushroom clouds one after another.
Countless Dulu troops were instantly incinerated in the insane onslaught.
High temperatures, radiation, and the subsequent shockwaves.
This wave of orbital bombardment instantly wiped out more than half of the army organized by the Dulu on the frontlines.
Those who remained were either severely irradiated or had lost their combat readiness.
Once the bombardment was complete, Xia Jin immediately deployed her main force.
It included vast numbers of brood lords and tens of thousands of swarm hosts.
Additionally, millions of main combat bugs and drones would descend from the sky.
From this moment on, the Zerg would gradually reveal their true, overwhelming power.
Of course, the Dulu people had basically regained their footing during this time.
Millions of soldiers appeared all over the world.
In a short time, they had organized a massive army of tens of millions.
Furthermore, many units within these armies possessed strong intercontinental strike capabilities.
Once launched, their missiles could fly over ten thousand kilometers to strike targets with precision.
Countless fighter jets and mecha warriors took to the skies, engaging in fierce dogfights with the descending mutalisks and devourers.
Even now, the Zerg still appeared to be at an absolute disadvantage.
One could say that for every wave they sent up, a wave was wiped out.
As countless fireballs fell, a large number of brood lords and swarm hosts moved into the deep pits previously dug by the bugs, reaching areas hundreds of meters or even kilometers underground.
They continuously spawned new bugs to support the surface.
The ground forces, primarily composed of zerglings, finally gained offensive momentum, exerting terrifying combat effectiveness as they charged out of the cities.
Street fighting was happening everywhere; even ordinary civilians could use weapons to threaten the Swarm.
The speed of the offensive had indeed increased.
...
Outside the capital's suburbs.
A soldier clutched his gun and ran quickly behind a piece of cover.
Looking up, he saw a zergling dash out from a building in the distance. With incredible speed, it instantly crossed the street and decapitated two warriors.
“Rat-tat-tat...”
He immediately raised his electromagnetic rifle and fired toward the distance.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep up with its speed at all.
In the blink of an eye, the zergling vanished into the entrance of another building.
“Damn it.”
It was too fast.
He cursed under his breath. Before he could even prepare to leave his cover, a violent explosion occurred nearby.
Terrifying flames completely obscured his vision, and the subsequent shockwave blew him back several meters.
After rolling on the ground a few times, he felt pain all over his body, but he had to quickly raise his head to observe his surroundings.
A corner of the building in his line of sight had been blown off.
The corpses of two teammates lay on the ground. A locust crawled out from inside, grabbed one of them, and dragged him elsewhere.
Why do these things want our bodies?
As this thought flashed through his mind, his captain's shout suddenly came from behind.
“We can't hold here anymore! Retreat to the next defense line!”
“Yes, sir!”
He quickly shouted back, pushed through the pain to get up, and turned to flee.
There was still fighting ahead. A rearguard squad was still using rifles and explosive weapons to stall the enemy.
While they were running, a neutron bomb suddenly whistled past between two buildings, flying several kilometers at supersonic speed before exploding in the distance.
Boom!
A blinding flash came from behind, followed closely by the sound of the explosion and the shockwave.
He didn't look back, focusing only on running.
Three minutes later, he had completely left the outermost edge of the city and jumped into the defense line prepared ahead.
The distance was already a desolate wasteland.
The suburbs that had been hit by nuclear blasts were completely reduced to ruins.
The ground seemed to be trembling.
But there were still troops organizing a defense line here.
Those who had retreated from the city looked at the hellish scene before them, their hearts filled with complex emotions.
This era could be called the apocalypse for the Dulu people.
Quickly setting up his electromagnetic rifle and loading a magazine, he aimed into the distance.
As soon as he saw a bug rush out from the street, the Dulu soldier immediately pulled the trigger.
Rat-tat...
Rat-tat-tat-tat...
Bullets pierced the zergling's body, splattering blood mixed with mangled flesh.
Despite being hit by many rounds, the creature's movements didn't falter at all.
Its vitality was tenacious to the extreme.
The soldiers nearby were also firing.
Several individual missiles flew out and exploded in the distance, finally managing to kill this one.
But more bugs appeared in his line of sight.
A hydralisk's spine suddenly struck a bunker, instantly piercing through twenty centimeters of alloy before exploding inside.
The shockwave blew the weak sections wide open, and the Dulu people inside were completely vaporized.
Regardless, a large number of bugs were still dying in droves under the deluge of ammunition.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a colossal entity, thirty to forty meters tall, suddenly came charging from the end of his vision.
Seeing this, the Dulu soldier stood frozen.
“What on earth... is that monster?”
An ultralisk.
Like a behemoth in armor, it charged through a barrage of missiles.
It seemed as if no attack could harm it in the slightest.
“Dammit! Quick, prepare the tactical nukes!”
A Dulu officer roared over the comms.
At this distance, if a neutron bomb exploded, the soldiers on the scene might still have a chance of survival.
But if that ultralisk got any closer, it would be over.
The most terrifying part was that the monster truly ignored the attacks of hundreds of people, plowing forward with unstoppable momentum.
Though it looked so heavy and clumsy, it was incredibly fast. The large swarm of broodlings following around it looked as tiny as ants in comparison.
