Thank You, "Alberto Catalan", "Jordan Hayes" and "Elder_Entity", For Becoming A Member On My Pa'treon. The Emperor Protect.

"Be cautious, always protect yourself with your shield, and never put it down." Cross didn't know what kind of Zergs these were, so he could only warn them.
The Primal Mutalisk flew high into the air and their number increased alarmingly. Suddenly, they jerk their body, and an unknown object detached from their body. One after another, it flew to the positions of the Astra Militarum.
"It's not good." The research group leader's face changed, and he said, "All of you hunker down under the shield; don't be reckless."
These tiny unknown objects couldn't be stopped with bullets, so everyone could only look helplessly at these unknown objects falling like snowflakes. It fell on the walls, on the shields, etc.
However, everyone was surprised to find out that it didn't seem to have any lethality. It was lying on the ground, and there was not a single move.
A Scientist curiously reached out his hand to touch some of the fluffy fur, after that, a scream of misery resounded. The group looked over and found that the palm the Scientist had stretched out had become red and swollen.
"This fluff is toxic, don't touch it," Cross shouted immediately.
At the same time, he ordered the medical staff to come up and carry this Scientist down for treatment. Minutes later, people found out that the walls and shields smeared with fluffy fur began to evaporate slowly.
The effect of the green liquid from before was not the same, but its threat to the Astra Militarum was about the same. The Mutalisk was also high in the air, so because of its high height, M.G. could hardly hit, so their threat was even greater.
"What do you all have in mind?" Cross asked the group of Scientists.
It was annoying to have all this fluff falling on the top. The biggest difference from the green liquid was that these fluffy hairs were very tiny. It was also drifting with the wind, so it could easily get on clothes or skin. It was hard to guard against it.
"You can blow them away with the wind." A Scientist thought about it and came up with an idea.
Cross's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Don't we have blowers in our warehouse? No matter how many, get them all and blow the fluff away."
The support staff left immediately. Soon, they moved a few large blowers over.
Hoo-!, Hoo-!, Hoo-!, Hoo...
The sound of the blower was loud, it was almost louder than the sound of a steam train. Its effect was also great. The fluffy furs that fell from the sky were blown away to somewhere else. The logistics staff also brought in large fans to get rid of the fluff fur that slipped through the net.
Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this one hour, the difficulty had increased a lot, however, that was not all. There was a rumble, underground. Suddenly, there was a shaking, it seemed that a whole new group of powerful underground Zergs had emerged.
Inside the tunnel, with a strong quake, a big Zerg came out.
"Scorpions?" Seeing this large Zerg, everyone was shocked.
This large Zerg and the normal scorpion were identical in terms of appearance, the only difference was that this large Zerg was much bigger. It was nearly two meters long, plus its pointed tail was even longer. Its whole body was wrapped in a metal-like black shell.
Seeing the Astra Militarum, they stop slightly. Their heads bobbed a little, they seemed to be considering something, and subsequently, one of them lowered its head. Surprisingly, it pierced right through the ground below and its massive body drilled in an instant.
"Watch out," Fleming shouted.
After a few moments, about 10 meters away from the place where the Primal Lurker that had just disappeared reappeared again.
"Another King-Class Zerg." Seeing this, Sebastian knew that this Primal Lurker was also a King-Class. In addition, there was also this special ability to travel short distances.
"That...was the ability of this big scorpion." Behind Fleming, a Scientist speculated.
"Whether it is or not, it's better to strike first, as we can't let it rush in." Fleming immediately ordered.
The kerosene was restocked again and Bullets also flew out.
BOOM-!
The fire instantly ignited the whole tunnel and was raging. When the Primal Lurker saw the situation, it drilled into the ground again.
"Pay attention," Fleming spoke up, letting the group pay attention to the surrounding movements.
After a while, there was a "thud". It seemed to be the sound of a large animal hitting the steel plate.
"Haha." Several Scientists and Guardsmen laughed.
They were well aware that the Primal Lurker must be relying on its special abilities to dig through the ground below. However, the Astra Militarum was prepared for many situations.
For the walls that were built in this place, it was decided after a careful examination. It was not just that the terrain was small, in addition, there was a rock layer underneath. Even if you blast it with gunpowder, it won't blast too much, not to mention the Level 1 Supernatural races.
On the rock layer, the Astra Militarum laid countless meters of thick concrete. On top of the concrete, there was also a thick layer of steel. With such a defense, almost no species could dig from the ground. If they wanted to attack from underground, this tunnel was the best choice.
Sure enough, after a while, the Primal Lurker appeared again. It seemed to be very enraged, and it was frantically rushing over. The shell was not afraid of flames, but the Astra Militarum had already prepared a batch of M.Gs.
TU-!, TU-!, TU-!, TU...
Bullets were being fired quickly.
At first, this Primal Lurker was able to resist with its hard shell, but it didn't last long, it was pierced and they were dead.
[ ===== ]
So far, on land, underground, and in the air, the Astra Militarum was defending tenaciously, but the planets of other candidates were not so lucky.
Bailey 5 Treants were covered in white fluff from the Primal Mutalisk and liquid shot by the Noxious.
Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi...
The corrosion sound came one after another and it was everywhere. Even the branches and leaves of the Treant started to shrink under more and more fluffy hairs and fluid.
Rumble-!
Underground, one after another, the Primal Lurker came out sweeping their tails and violently plunging into the trunk of the Treant, which allowed the poison to be injected.
Naturally, the Blessed Order member in the tree and the Thunderbirds in the sky wouldn't sit back and watch the Treant be attacked so recklessly, all of them launched a counterattack, but the number of Zergs was simply too much.
For the Thunderbirds, there was no small damage, they could only dodge while attacking.
The Blessed Order arrow reserves were originally quite large, but after so many rounds of defense, they were also gradually depleted. Now they could only rely on a sword to kill the Zerg that were near the Treant.
It was the same as Lucy. Bailey had also prepared a large number of crystals to replenish the consumed energy, but the speed of eradicating bugs Zerg was to the speed of the Zerg replenishment.
Unlike before, this attack from underground, land, and air, all three had high damage, especially the Primal Lurker. Each one could attack with poison, and it was toxic. Just a few moments later, the part where the Treant was poisoned already began to show signs of decay. Each of the Primal Lurker kept coming out of the ground and all of them gave a hard time to the Treant.
Not long after that, on a Treant, there were scars everywhere. Some were corroded by white fluffy hairs and green liquid, while some were poisoned by the Primal Lurker.
Time passed slowly, minute by minute.
Under the anxious gaze of Bailey, it was the last second of the 12th hour. But at this time, the Treant that had suffered the most bug attacks couldn't hold on anymore, as a large part of their body was seriously injured.
BOOM-!
This Treant collapsed with a bang and it died on the spot.
The Blessed Order people on the trunk of the tree had already jumped ahead to another Treant after seeing that the situation was not good. Next to this dead Treant, another Treant was also attacked. At this moment, it was also dying, it was on the verge of death.
The 12th hour was officially over, and another 50 people were eliminated. In all the examination rooms, there were only 31 people left. Sebastian was still there and this shocked many because this was unexpected.
After the 13th hour started, the Zergs at the other end of the passage changed again. Some Zergs disappeared and they were replaced by much larger Zergs. Their body size was over 50 meters and their exterior was covered in thick gray-black armor with sharp edges and corners. It seemed like super-sized armor.
Right behind the Primal Ultralisk, there was a King-Class Zerg.
Rumble-!
These Primal Ultralisks rushed toward the wall with all their power, while the Primal Ravager was stuck near the Primal Ultralisks, dodging the hail of Shells. All the Shells landed on the Primal Ultralisk.
Although it was still hard to break the defense, the Astra Militarum's line of sight did not completely hit the two Zergs because, in the sky and underground, two other new Zergs also appeared at the same time.
In the sky, one by one, they flew about one meter. A weird bug that looked like a dark ball surveyed the lower side for a while after these Zergs flew high into the sky and suddenly, they swooped down.
"Are they trying to ram us?" One Scientist speculated.
Whether they wanted to hit or not, the M.Gs didn't stop. They swept over, tearing the Overseer one by one.
This time a very earthworm-like Zerg appeared underground. Their bodies were very long, and because of the slippery mucus, they were not afraid of fire attacks. It was slippery as hell and their drilling speed was very fast. In addition, their mucus was also highly corrosive.
A Guardsman of the Astra Militarum accidentally got sprayed and his clothes were instantly corroded off. If it were not for the timely reaction of the person next to him, even his skin might not be safe.
TU-!, TU-!, TU-!, TU...
Since the fire attack didn't work, in the end, they could only use the M.G. Once again, Fleming called in several more M.G. Under fierce fire, the Omega Worm couldn't come over.
For the Astra Militarum, the most significant threat was still the Primal Ultralisk on the ground. It was not that shells didn't work, instead, the accuracy of each Shell was not high. They couldn't land on the same Primal Ultralisk.
And the Primal Ultralisk was not slow either, soon they arrived at the big pothole from earlier. At this time, this place was almost filled with Zergs and the Primal Ultralisk went straight across.
The M.Gs were firing crazily, but they were also not able to completely stop the advance of these Primal Ultralisks.
"Add 20 units more of M.G." Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Cross immediately ordered.
20 more Machine Guns were relocated immediately. Under the bombardment of countless large-caliber bullets, the shell of the front-most Primal Ultralisks was pierced and its blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Seeing this, Sebastian also breathed a sigh of relief. The bullets of the M.G. were still useful, especially the special large caliber bullets.
[ ===== ]
However, for other candidates, these powerful Zergs were too difficult to resist, each one of them was trying their best to persevere. For them, if they just held on for another 10 minutes, they would be able to get one more point, then their ranking might even squeeze into the top.
"In this hour, the top 10 will be decided." A master said.
"Yes, we agree." Many others nodded.
These kinds of Zergs were strong and each of them was extremely difficult to deal with. Now, there were 4 of them at the same time, it was overkill.
[ ===== ]
For the people of Oakleaf School, since Sebastian locked the first prize in advance, the pressure wasn't that great. All of them were relatively more relaxed, looking at the projection of every single candidate.
Of course, Sebastian and Bailey were still the focus, especially Bailey because she had come to a very dangerous point.
On the ground, the Primal Ultralisk was unstoppable and the attack of the Overseer in the sky was like a cannonball, it made the Treant suffer.
Underground, Omega Worm burrowed out of the ground and their slime coated the Treant.
Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi...
Corrosion was very swift, not to mention the Primal Ravager that was acting as the main force of the attack.
In a very short time, the dying Treant from earlier couldn't hold up any longer.
