Chapter 507: The Third Insect Plague on Blue Planet

Yes, in February 2030, Blue Planet suffered its third insect plague.

Why should this all-round and large-scale Zerg attack be defined as the third Zerg plague when the second plague has not yet ended?

That's because new Zergs have landed from the sea. This time, the Zergs that have landed are not only the conventional mantises, blue light bugs, centipedes, giant mosquitoes and other old faces that the humans on Blue Star are familiar with, but also three new species with huge sizes, high defense and high attack.

Under the leadership of this new type of evolved Zerg, a Zerg tide formed and the Zerg's invasion of the Blue Planet intensified again.

The emergence of this new type of Zerg also made humans realize a very bad situation. On the Blue Planet, not only humans are evolving, but the invading Zerg are also evolving!

The Xia Kingdom defined this large-scale invasion led by the new Zerg as the third insect plague.

After the third insect plague began, it did not give the humans on Blue Star any chance to breathe. From the day they landed, they gathered massive swarms of insects. Those swarms led by the evolved Zerg dealt a fatal blow to the already precarious Blue Star.

The Zerg soldiers bred by the mother nest in the second plague have not been dealt with yet, and reinforcements have come from the sea! This time the Zerg offensive is unprecedentedly fierce, and they are almost conquering the entire Blue Planet.

That’s right, this time the Xia Kingdom couldn’t hold on, and the front line completely collapsed.

The Zerg tide, led by the evolved Zerg, caused extinction of all living things wherever it passed.

Those survivors who were unwilling to risk leaving their homeland were able to hide and avoid the Zerg from searching for resources in abandoned cities to survive, but now that is gone, and their only remaining living space has also been destroyed by the Zerg tide.

Only a few survivors managed to hide in the most secretive hiding places in time and dared not show up for a short period of time. However, their food reserves were limited and would be used up over time. They still had to risk going out to look for supplies, but where would there be anything left after the insect tide swept through?

The Xia, G, A and other countries that had originally been able to resist were also killed this time.

The insect swarm came suddenly and fiercely, and the fronts of Country G and Country A collapsed completely. The ground bases built by the two countries in recent years were burned down, but fortunately they both built underground shelters, and the people who lived in the underground shelters escaped again.

As for Xia Country, because the number of people killed in the first and second insect plagues was under control, there were many remaining people in Xia Country, and it would be difficult to accommodate so many people by building underground shelters.

Therefore, the official stance of the Xia State was still to focus on ground refuge bases. There were 50 large high-walled refuge cities scattered across the country, which accommodated nearly % of the population.

Originally, such defensive capabilities were enough to deal with the Zerg, but who could have imagined that a large number of new Zerg would emerge from the sea, and the humans on Blue Star were caught off guard again.

The day when the front lines of the three coastal provinces of Xia Kingdom collapsed was so tragic!

Among the troops stationed on the front line, except for those teams who were out on missions and luckily avoided the head-on attack, all other garrison soldiers died after fighting desperately.

Corpses piled up and blood flowed like a sea.

The insect swarm broke through the defense line that Xia State had defended for nearly eight years in one fell swoop.

Of course, they also paid a heavy price, and countless Zerg died.

But they don't care.

The remaining insect swarm was reduced in size by more than half. They walked through the bloody battlefield, gnawing on the flesh and blood of the sacrificed soldiers, while also not being polite to the flesh and blood of their own kind.

In less than a day, the three coastal provinces were filled with Zerg.

Although more than half of their strength was consumed by the front-line troops, the Zerg had no intention of quitting. After a fierce display on the battlefield and a brief replenishment and recovery, they continued to advance towards the inland of Xia.

After entering the inland of Xia, the remaining insect swarm, which was not very large in number, split again and divided into several smaller groups, heading to various provinces of Xia.

Although the size of each swarm of Zerg is too small compared to the initial swarm of Zerg attacks, it is still a swarm of Zerg, and its scale and lethality should not be underestimated.

Wherever the insect swarm passes, there is nothing but killing and destruction.

Apart from the high-walled cities built within the Xia Kingdom, which withstood the impact of the first appearance of the evolved Zerg, other cities in the Xia Kingdom that were originally relatively safe fell one after another.

You know, outside the big cities, nearly 30% of Xia’s people live in scattered locations.

Although over the years, as the high walls of large cities in various provinces have gradually been improved, many people have moved into the walled cities to live, but for various reasons, there are still many people who choose to live outside the big cities.

At that time, the front line was stable, and even the Xia Kingdom had a plan to counterattack the Zerg and eliminate the mother nest. Of course, the people would not be forced to do anything. As long as they could ensure their own safety, the government would not care where they lived.

Some of the people living outside the big cities unfortunately faced this disaster head-on.

However, the size of the Zerg tide had been reduced by more than half by the frontline fighters at the cost of their lives, and the size of the Zerg that invaded inland was much smaller. This also gave some people the opportunity to escape after receiving official notification.

They would be safe if they fled to the nearest big city.

However, those places adjacent to the three coastal provinces were not so lucky. The people there were attacked by the insect swarm before they could figure out what was happening. They didn’t even have the chance to call for help or wait for rescue.

Of course, when the insect swarm hit, it was not just ordinary people who were scattered outside. There were also military mobile forces carrying out missions in various parts of Xia Country, association action teams, hunting teams organized by various companies or individuals, and so on.

They were also caught off guard by the insect swarm.

Although these teams are much stronger than ordinary people, their ability to resist when facing the insect tide is weak.

Aside from the military's mobile force and the association's action team who still had the ability to escape, the other teams were wiped out as soon as they met.

The night when the third insect plague broke out.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the capital's official building was solemn.

The big leader sat at the first seat, and several major leaders of Xia State and leaders of various departments surrounded an extra-large round conference table.

All the senior officials of the Xia State who were attending the meeting were listening to the reports from the correspondents next to them, which were all bad news coming back from all over the country.

They already knew about the tragic situation on the front line, and everyone felt heavy-hearted as they watched the images automatically transmitted back by the equipment.

For the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and for the situation that followed.

The troops deployed on the front line accounted for half of the total force of Xia State, and they were wiped out in half a day. It can be seen that the Zerg are no longer satisfied with a small fight with them, they want to show their true strength!

This was the first time they exerted their strength, and it dealt a heavy blow to the Xia Kingdom, awakening many senior leaders who had lost sight of the Zerg threat.
