Thud, thud!
The ultralisk's four legs slammed onto the ground, producing heavy, dull thuds.
Its behemoth-like frame crushed the road surface wherever it passed.
Evolved to its current state, the ultralisk's weight had reached seventy to eighty tons. On the Dulu home planet, it was relatively lighter due to the lower gravity, but it could still unleash a world-shaking war stomp.
“Is this a creature that crawled out of hell?”
The Dulu soldier stared blankly at the scene in the distance.
Compared to the fighting in the first three hours—the battle before the nuclear strikes—was this the main course?
Thinking back to a few hours ago when many soldiers were still mocking the combat effectiveness of these aliens, he felt it was laughable.
“How could a creature capable of crossing star systems be weak?”
The universe was far too vast. Some advanced civilizations had been developing for an unknown number of years, likely reaching levels beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
And what about the Dulu civilization?
They had only left their home planet a few thousand years ago.
Developing a curvature engine had actually made them feel like they were a powerful interstellar civilization.
In many space-themed works, the Dulu civilization had interacted with interstellar powers, defeated mighty civilizations invading their stellar system, and occupied countless colonies.
But the reality was that, until now, they had only defeated a common civilization that was even more backward than themselves.
Now, the Zerg had easily destroyed all their forces and even deployed troops. He really didn't know what there was to be proud of.
Swoosh—
Seeing the ultralisk getting closer and closer, a neutron bomb whistled overhead and landed over two hundred meters behind the creature.
The command to get down echoed in every warrior's ear.
Without a second thought, he immediately lay down in a pit several meters deep.
A blinding light ignited several kilometers away.
The violent explosion only reached his ears seven or eight seconds later.
Boom! It was deafening.
Several soldiers who hadn't covered their ears were deafened on the spot.
Nearby window glass shattered instantly with a loud clatter.
Fortunately, the yield of this neutron bomb was very low.
By the time the shockwave from two kilometers away reached the pit, it was merely a strong gust of wind.
He shook the dust off his body and lifted his head.
Through his helmet's visor, all he could see was a scene of billowing smoke and dust.
Flames burned in the distance.
However, after a dozen seconds of silence, a terrifying roar suddenly broke the stillness.
“What?”
The solitary ultralisk charged once again.
...
“Thinking you could kill it from two hundred meters away... that's a bit too much confidence.”
Xia Jin's projection, disguised as a Dulu, had arrived on a nearby building and happened to witness the scene below.
Although neutron bombs were powerful, the ones in these people's hands only had a yield of about five hundred tons.
Unless it exploded within an eighty-meter radius of the core, breaking through an ultralisk's defense was simply impossible.
As for the particle flow, the Zerg shells could withstand it without much trouble.
Seeing the ultralisk, whose shell was only slightly dented from the blast, suddenly burst into a frantic run, the Dulu frontline troops were completely shell-shocked.
The warrior who had fled all the way from the city was almost the first to turn and run.
There was a flying motorcycle not far away. Without thinking, he jumped onto it and ignited the engine.
The motorcycle spat out a high-pressure tail flame, instantly carrying him away at high speed.
The soldiers with slower reactions were not so lucky.
The ultralisk charged straight in, swinging its massive scythe blades weighing over ten tons, sending the first wave of troops flying with a single strike.
The ultralisk then began to trample the positions like a mobile fortress, using pure physical force to carry out a merciless slaughter.
Soldiers further away saw things going south and, gritting their teeth, aimed directly at the ultralisk and launched another neutron bomb.
To their surprise, before the neutron bomb could even fly a kilometer, a large swarm of scourges suddenly surged into the sky, forming an interception net.
An explosion occurred abruptly.
The neutron bomb struck from above and expanded into a fireball. The neutron stream generated by the violent explosion instantly caused fatal damage to the Dulu people within a 1.5-kilometer radius.
The man on the flying motorcycle wiped away a cold sweat.
He was thankful his reaction was fast enough and that he had flown far enough and hidden behind cover, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped the disaster.
Unfortunately, before he could celebrate, he saw an armor-piercing missile from a ravager fly past from several hundred meters away, vanishing into the distance.
Boom!
An explosion with a yield no less than a small neutron bomb occurred several kilometers away.
This sight left him completely silent.
The Zerg indeed possessed long-range firepower.
He could still hear noises coming from all directions, with many explosions originating from the far distance.
But there was plenty of gunfire, as some electromagnetic autocannons had a range of several kilometers.
Having reached a position he considered relatively safe, and to avoid being killed as a deserter, he had to jump off the flying motorcycle before reaching the next unit's defense zone.
An infantry squad happened to be running past nearby.
“Which unit are you from?” the captain shouted at him.
“45th Squad! Most of my teammates are already dead. I took advantage of the chaos to come back and report the situation. There's a giant creature among the enemies that can withstand hits from small nuclear bombs.”
“What?”
The squad leader was clearly shocked.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, they saw the ultralisk charging from the distance.
Nearby were scourges flying along, specifically intercepting dangerous nuclear bombs.
Relying on just this one creature, the Zerg expansion line had actually been pushed forward by six or seven kilometers.
At this sight, everyone fell silent.
“We can't retreat anymore. Behind us is a massive nuclear blast zone; the radiation is severe.” The captain bit his lip and signaled everyone to prepare for battle.
