A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 860

Chapter 860: Chapter 602 Alien Bugs!_2 Chapter 860: Chapter 602 Alien Bugs!_2 After all, the opponent was just using a basic attack, so all he needed to do was to hit back, no need for any fancy tricks.

But the Alien bugs were different.

Regarding the question of who was stronger between the Tyron Swarm and the Alien bugs, players had debated over dozens of pages in the forum, not to mention the conclusion, but just from this stance, the strength of the Alien bugs was definitely not weak, otherwise, they wouldn't have the chance to arm-wrestle with the Tyron Swarm.

The expansion of the Alien bugs was also in the form of swarming, and they possessed powerful Psychic Powers. Not only that, but during the process of expansion, they also absorbed the high-quality genes of other races, constantly evolving themselves. Thus, the expansion of the Alien bugs was a mode of continuous self-evolution.

This was completely different from the Tyron Swarms. The Tyron Swarms went wherever they pleased and consumed everything — even the air could be packaged and swallowed by them. One could say that the planets ravaged by the Tyron Swarms were comparable to locust plagues, leaving no grass alive.

Although the places ravaged by the Alien bugs were pretty much the same.

If one were to point out a difference, it was that the Tyron Swarm was closer to bio-technology, while the Alien bugs focused more on self-evolution. It was like the Insect Race version of the Sword Clan and the Qi Clan…

Moreover, their methods of operation were also different.

The Tyron Swarms liked to strike proactively; they would dispatch a type of Monster known as “Genetic Thieves” to search throughout the Milky Way. These Genetic Thieves would find and infiltrate life-bearing planets through various means. They would disguise themselves as one of them, hypnotize the locals into forming a cult, infiltrate various departments, and then send signals to the Tyron Swarms through some kind of fanatic ritual — signaling that there was a feast ready to be savored here.

By the way, the Genetic Thieves and their descendants might not even be aware that they were part of the Insect Race; they could feel the whispers and strength from the void coming from the hive mind and believed it was the guidance of a deity. Thus, they would actively perform various rituals to connect with this force, which basically meant continuously transmitting their planet's location to the Tyron Swarms, who would then come here to enjoy the feast.

Another by the way, when the swarms arrived, these Genetic Thieves wouldn't have a good end either. They thought they would ascend to the universe and become a part of a greater existence — well, that's not wrong, after all, the swarm would definitely devour them.

Compared to the Tyron Swarms, the Alien bugs explored another path. They would lurk on some uninhabited planets and then merge with the local fauna there.

Here's a side note, many female players once expressed strong protests against the Alien bugs.

The reason was simple. The Alien bugs had two modes: a lurking mode and a combat mode.

In lurking mode, the Alien bugs would take on the appearance of the local fauna, and they all belonged to those cute, soft, and adorable types, enough to make anyone let their guard down upon seeing them.

However, in combat, their bodies would start to swell, then their fur would tear apart turning them into terrifying monsters made of flesh.

This was also one reason why the female players had major objections; after all, most girls liked those fluffy, adorable creatures. Imagine you're cuddling a bunny, petting it here and there, and then the next moment, the bunny's face suddenly splits into three sections and bites your head off… that's definitely a psychological scar.

The players even signed a petition about this, hoping for a change in the appearance of the Alien bugs. Seeing the Tyron Swarms, everyone knows they're monsters, why must you make the Alien bugs look so cute and adorable? How are we supposed to play joyfully with cute animals afterward?

If you say go play with them, you worry about them suddenly transforming.

If you say shoo them away, it seems somewhat heartless to drive away a cute animal.

Thus, many female players thought there should be a change.

Of course, the company, as always, didn't respond, didn't modify, just acted as if they saw nothing.

And that was how the Alien bugs used this mode to lurk on other planets, and once an Outsider entered, they would deceive them with their soft, adorable appearance. Once the Outsider let their guard down, they would immediately launch an attack, then by extracting memories from the Outsider's brain, they would lock onto the pitiful target's home planet, and then the Alien bugs would jump through space, directly rushing to that planet to invade.

If one were to describe it, the Tyron were like actively looking for trouble, while the Alien bugs were more like the strategist fishing for a catch.

“So, you must protect the fleet well; otherwise, once the Alien bugs conquer it and find out the location of Earth, they'll jump right to Earth's doorstep to enjoy a big meal! By that time, whether it's the Earth Federation or ZAFT, they will become their food,” Duanmu Huai said.

Another reason why Duanmu Huai was so tense was that the Alien bugs were fond of “taking what others were good at.” Not to mention the Earth Federation, many at the ZAFT were Newtypes and modified humans. If the Alien bugs took a fancy to any of them and then put them in an incubation tank for modifications… that would be big trouble!

“I understand…!”

“Remember, you absolutely can't let the swarm break through to the main island; otherwise, if you fight a street war, you'll die even faster!”

To the Tribunal, the Alien bugs were harder to deal with than the Cosmic Monsters. Cosmic Monsters were hundreds of meters long, making them convenient to fight, but the Alien bug units were extremely small, so for the Tribunal, it was purely using anti-aircraft guns to hit mosquitoes.

Hitting them was another matter.

“Switch all to high-explosive and armor-piercing shots, try to cause widespread damage to the Alien bug army. Aikute, find a way to take down that big one in the back, Leviathan! I'm also ready to strike, Ogis, let's go!”

Although it was somewhat unexpected, but… using the Alien bugs as the first battle for his own fighter jet seemed quite fitting.

When Duanmu Huai and Ogis arrived in the hangar, everyone else had already deployed, leaving only one fighter jet parked there.

That was the transformable fighter jet previously made according to Duanmu Huai's requirement, but by now, this jet had completely changed its appearance.

It was painted in shiny girly pink, and on the wings, there was a picture of a bunny holding a carrot, truly living up to “Little bunny, so white, with two ears standing tall, loves to eat carrots and veggies, hopping and bouncing, really cute.”

“Hmm, not bad.”

Looking at the warplane's paint job, Duanmu Huai nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, a tough guy really should pair up with bunnies!

“Let's go, Ogis, it's time to show them what the Little Bunny is capable of!”
