Chapter 54 (2/2)
Dino had left his mark in history as he had wished. Looking at it, perhaps he would not be able to get rid of this infamy even after 100 millennia. Perhaps as long as human civilization existed, his name would always be engraved on the pillar of human shame.
Fang Zheng didn’t pay much attention to what was happening in the human world as the battle against the mimics had reached the finale.
Attack on Paris!
The boss also seemed to have discovered that Fang Zheng was aware of its existence. It almost summoned all his minions back to Paris to fight Fang Zheng to death, desperately; tens of thousands of mimics were gathered in Paris, trying to protect their core.
But for Fang Zheng, for Zergs, it didn’t make much sense.
Because the sacred F2 connects us!
[TLN: F2 in Starcraft selects all units.]
The Zerglings flooded into the city. The mimics screamed and resisted. Salvos of artillery fire flew past by, blasting amid the swarm, one after another. But obviously, the swarm would not stop in light of this. A mimic might pierce through the Zerglings around it with its tentacles but it would be torn to pieces by the swarming enemies in the next moment. Even the mimics imitating the Mutalisks, the flying Zerg units, were useless. The Mutalisks were the overlords of the sky.
Looking from high up above, the densely packed Zergs had formed a huge bright red circle surrounding the entire city. And soon, this circle began to slowly shrink. Gradually, the entire city was blanketed by this disgusting dark red sheet.
“Sigh, it’s finally done!”
Fang Zheng heaved a long sigh of relief after he came to Louvre and looked at the huge ball of light in front of him.
Frankly speaking, there was really nothing to say about this battle. In any case, it was just F2A, relying just on the Zerglings rush. Basically, it all came down to 1,000 mimics versus 10,000 Zerglings. The mimics were able to kill 2,000 Zerglings before they were overwhelmed by the remaining 8,000. The entire process was simple and boring. There was nothing to praise.
[TLN: F2A = Selects all + Attack.]
However, the boss core also gave Fang Zheng some trouble in the later period. After it realized it was impossible to defeat the Zergs, it actually ordered its own ‘extensions’ to commit suicide, with the intention of forcibly reloading!
Fang Zheng was also taken aback a little when he noticed this. It might have been easy to fight these things but he wasn’t Tom. He wasn’t in the mood to fight hundreds of times in a battle, over and over. So, he was left with no choice but to order the Zergs to divide the troops and charge, control those extensions at all costs, and then slowly besiege the mobs.
It was precisely because of this that the Zergs suffered heavy losses in the final charge; about one-third of troops were lost. But Fang Zheng wasn’t distressed either… In any case, he could refill the vacancies bit by bit as long as he had enough resources.
And now, looking at the core floating in the air, locked by the psychic energy, Fang Zheng felt that it had all been worth it.
The core of the alien boss looked like a huge luminous sphere but it wasn’t a pure energy body either. But something produced by the fusion of some glowing gelatin. It was similar to an existence between an energy body and a solid entity. At this moment, its glow had become a lot darker already. This was also very normal. When Fang Zheng had first appeared, this guy had actually planned to make a desperate attempt at assassinating Fang Zheng. As a result, it suffered a blow of Fang Zheng’s psychic energy, leaving it in a half-dead state.
“Congratulations, Master, we have successfully captured the target.”
Mylune, standing beside Fang Zheng, stared at the ball of light in front of her with a longing gaze.
“Yes, but it’s one step short.”
Fang Zheng nodded in agreement to Mylune’s congratulation. But according to the information bar before his eyes, the mission was still not completed because this core still didn’t belong to Fang Zheng. The mission requirement was to find and obtain…
As for how to deal with this core, Fang Zheng had already made preparations.
“Mylune.”
Glancing at the core before him, Fang Zheng turned his head and gave an order.
“Prepare the incubator. I want to evolve.”
