Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island

Chapter 79 Breakthrough
Lin Ye led the crowd forward quickly in the dark tunnel.

The movement from the cave can still be heard behind him, but it's just a little blurry.

And after walking for more than ten minutes, not a single Zerg creature came after them.

Lin Ye couldn't imagine that Erwin's dozen or so people could block the attack of Zerg creatures!
Having experienced the Zerg army crushing the city, he can understand how fierce the battle in the cultivation room will be.

Perhaps, it won't be long before their mutated bodies will be eaten up by those bugs.

But at least Erwin and others did not face the enemy with despair.

Lin Ye and the others are their hope to persevere.

In the tunnel, Rita looked back from time to time.

The tears on her face had already been wiped away by her.

But she didn't have the resolute gaze before, and now her eyes are full of guilt.

Lin Ye wanted to have a good chat with her, but every time he wanted to speak, Rita refused with his eyes.

The girl doesn't seem ready to accept the truth.

The Templar soldiers following Rita didn't understand what happened, they only knew that a group of strange Zerg creatures had appeared in that place just now.

Neither attacked nor fled.

In addition to these Templar fighters, everyone on the floating island was also very puzzled.

"Why did the worms in the cave look so strange just now?" Qin Lie couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, quickly followed Lin Ye's pace, and asked by his ear.

Lin Ye glanced at the people following behind, and then explained in Blue Star language:
"Those bugs just now are the Ayre people who were taken away before, and then they were infected with the Zerg virus and mutated into Zerg creatures!"

Qin Lie frowned and exclaimed: "Zerg virus?"

Lin Ye motioned him to lower his voice, and nodded in response:
"It's the same as the zombie virus on Blue Star, but the Zerg virus only targets this alien race. Of course, I don't know the specific reason, and this is the first time I've heard of it."

"Why don't those mutated bugs attack us?" Qin Lie asked.

"You may not believe it, but these mutated Ayre people are still sane, and they were communicating with me just now!" Lin Ye glanced at the person beside him, with a serious expression on his face.

He sighed softly and continued: "If they hadn't stopped the alien creatures that were chasing us, we might not have been able to enter this tunnel right now!"

"No way, Brother Lin, will you still have self-awareness after being mutated?" Qin Lie looked in disbelief.

Although he didn't know much about the mutated Aiers, at least he had seen many mutated human beings on Blue Star.

Those are cruel and bloodthirsty mutated creatures that have no other behavior than cannibalism.

"Then, will the same situation happen to the walking corpses on Blue Star?" Qin Lie tentatively asked.

Lin Ye shook his head, but did not respond directly to him.

Humans who are infected with the zombie virus and mutate into walking zombies do have a certain degree of intelligence, but those are special abilities that they only have after they have advanced and transformed into another kind of creature.

It's like building a complex society and calling itself a group.

But in essence, they are no longer human.

Therefore, even though Lin Ye encountered what happened to Erwin just now, he still doesn't have much hope for creatures like zombies.

Moreover, even if a way to communicate with zombies is found, what is the use?
How does this make today's human beings get along with their mutated colleagues?
Is it possible to negotiate a truce and start recuperating?
Don't be ridiculous!

Since this is an escape game created by the Creator, no race can escape from it.

Just like the Al civilization on this planet.

With the last fire of civilization, they huddled in the temple of the subspace, as if they could escape the harassment of the Zerg.

But the facts taught these Aiel a hard lesson.

If there is no winner or loser in the escape game, the catastrophe will never recede.

On the contrary, the Zerg race occupying the entire Al star, using the resources on the planet, has grown stronger and stronger in the past hundred years.

Without sufficient grasp, Gou Quan waited for the slim chance of a comeback with his life, and in the end, he could only be destroyed.

While thinking about it, the last words Erwin said to him echoed in Lin Ye's mind.

Although he had not known this temple elder for a long time, Lin Ye felt very familiar with him.

It reminded him of the old leader he met in the army in his previous life.

He is also a paranoid, weird-tempered old guy.

At that time, the old chief was also alone in the joint base to attract the firepower of the alien army in order to let the fleet evacuate.

If it hadn't been for his move, the five fleets that the Human Federation was proud of might not have appeared in the future, and the Human Federation wouldn't even have a place on Blue Star.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but speed up his pace.

However, at this moment, there were bursts of noise from far and near in the tunnel.

Lin Ye stopped immediately, and at the same time called everyone behind him to enter a fighting state.

He squatted down, pressed his hands to the ground lightly, and listened carefully at the same time.

After just ten seconds, Lin Ye raised his head, his expression becoming serious.

Because the movement didn't come from the cultivation room, but from directly in front of the tunnel.

Moreover, the sound showed that the enemy this time was not just the low-level Zerg warrior-the Rift Rock Spider, he also heard the buzzing sound one after another.

There are even many titan worms digging tunnels in the rock formation near the tunnel.

Lin Ye immediately turned around and looked at Chu Qingning who was following behind.

I don't know if it's because of the fear of strangers, but at this moment, this alien girl is so quiet as before.

"How far are we from the ground?" Lin Ye asked.

Chu Qingning shook her head, and responded softly: "It's not far away..."

"Okay!" Lin Ye stood up and faced the people behind him.

"There are many difficult enemies in the tunnel ahead, but we must break out, otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Major Sim, take the rest of the soldiers and keep an eye on the tunnel behind. Once you find the pursuers, use as much firepower as possible to suppress them.

Qin Lie and I opened the way ahead, Cheng Bei and Nan Xiao took care not to let the stinging bee break the formation. "

After assigning tasks to everyone on the floating island, Lin Ye turned to look at Rita on the side, and then switched to Al language:

"Rita, divide the remaining Templars into two groups, one group will follow me to break out, and the other group will follow my team to the rear!"

However, Rita, who was standing opposite, didn't respond at all. She seemed to have not gotten over what happened just now.

"Rita!" Lin Ye strode forward, grabbed her by the shoulder, and said sharply, "If something happens to you, won't Erwin's sacrifice be in vain?"

"I..." Rita was at a loss for words.

The previous destruction of five thousand temple guards and the crash of a hundred buildings had already destroyed her willpower.

What happened to her father just now directly hit her heart hard.

Rita, who has lost hope, has completely lost her fighting spirit. She is no different from giving up on herself now.

"Even if you didn't do anything just now, I would personally kill Erwin and the others!" Lin Ye said suddenly.

No one wants to see their loved ones suffer such a crime.

At that time, Erwin tried his best to study the way of communicating with mutant creatures, but it was just for peace of mind.

As the chief elder, who could understand the guilt in his heart after seeing the El Civilization fall like this with his own eyes.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Rita was a little surprised: "You are an alien, why do you have to do this?"

Lin Ye stared at her, and said word by word:

"I'm talking to you now as the Lord of the Temple!"
