He Xingzhou analyzed, “Based on the battle data from the last encounter in the Mariana Trench, the Deep Sea Giant Beast absolutely belonged to a high-level category of the Zerg. Although they were powerful, human nuclear weapons could still harm them.”

“The war between humans and the Zerg had just begun. I thought they were also testing human strength, and they probably wouldn’t deploy the Deep Sea Giant Beast at the start.”

“That’s how I see it too,” Song Jinhong said, “but we can’t consider the Zerg with any human mindset. There’s a chance that they might not fear death.”

Everyone nodded. It wasn’t wise to use human thinking to predict other species’ intentions.

“If the Deep Sea Giant Beast was deployed, it would be one scenario; if not, it would be another. Xuanwu, initiate a simulation analysis.” Qin Peng shouted, and a scenario simulated by the Quantum Computer appeared before everyone.

“Current detection data showed that the number of mutant creatures attacking the Diaozi District exceed ten million, and the total number of Zerg should be around one million, while the defending human forces totaled over 300,000.” Xuanwu stated, “The Zerg forces here are only an estimate, and the numbers of smaller mutant creatures and those not yet counted might exceed a million.”

“The mutant creature bodies, they should hold them back.” Qin Peng said, “Human firearms could easily kill those mutant creature bodies.”

After three years of research on mutant creatures and the Zerg, their “Zerg Species Dictionary” had become much more complete.

For example, according to the different degrees of mutation, mutant creatures were divided into primary mutation, intermediate mutation, and complete mutation.

Primary mutation referred to Blue Star creatures under normal conditions, without any extra biological stimulation or energy supply, and having been polluted by Zerg genes for less than three months. At this stage, they basically still had the characteristics of Blue Star creatures.

Intermediate mutant creatures had a mutation period extended to three months to three years, and the degree of change was already somewhat high.

Complete mutation meant that it no longer had any relation with the original species and was about to become a real Zerg.

The specific degree and speed of mutation varied with environmental conditions.

Upon reaching complete mutation, some mutant bodies would stop evolving, while a minority would continue to evolve, activating the biological chip of the Zerg and loading certain Zerg biological templates according to their conditions to begin evolving per the template.

They would differentiate into multiple types of Zerg.

For example, the Resource Collection Insect could collect minerals, organic food, sunlight, oil, and other resources;

The Soldier Insect, as a combat unit, could launch attacks. Conventionally, they might bite or ram, while advanced ones could even use biochemical weapons;

The Brain Insect, similar to a command center, could emit infrasound, ultrasound, or other signals to command the Zerg;

The Engineer Insect could construct the unique living environments of the Zerg or destroy enemy buildings…

They also had levels, and the research team believed that the so-called levels referred to the permission to read information on the biological chip.

Gaining higher-level permission meant unlocking more evolution templates for evolution.

The specific levels hadn’t been clarified by humans yet.

At the Tower Research Institute, apart from the Deep Sea Fruit, which hadn’t been studied thoroughly, the highest-level Zerg among other mutant creatures was the “Black Sea Bream No.2” that He Xingzhou had cultivated earlier. Currently, it was at Level 4.

Its body had already grown over four meters tall, and due to living on land for a long time, it had loaded some land Zerg templates, and now it completely lost the features of a fish, evolving into a kind of monster covered in bone spurs.

Ordinary firearms were already hard to kill it. According to computer analysis, it would take the explosive power of at least a 100-kilogram TNT equivalent artillery shell to kill Black Sea Bream No.2!

As for what level the Deep Sea Giant Beast was, He Xingzhou didn’t know yet.

He Xingzhou said, “For Level 1 Zerg, rifles and machine guns could kill them; Level 2 Zerg required armor-piercing bullets, heavy machine guns, grenades, and other weapons; reaching Level 3, anti-tank mines and high-explosive bombs were necessary to kill; Level 4 required artillery and missiles.”

“This intelligence indicates the presence of large numbers of Zerg from Level 1 to Level 3, and when they landed, the defenders would surely suffer a nasty toll.”

“If the number of Level 4 Zerg exceeded 100,000 and Level 5 Zerg exceeded 10,000, then in my opinion, they couldn’t hold them back.”

He Hongwei said, “For Level 5 Zerg, according to our estimates, conventional artillery couldn’t kill them; tactically, missiles were necessary to kill them! Once these beings landed, their minefields, trenches, armored vehicles, and tanks couldn’t stop them!”

He Xingzhou whispered, “Perhaps after this war, the world would understand why we built the steel Great Wall.”

The whole world was watching this war. However, some people couldn’t see it even if they wanted to.

Shen Zhou could observe in real-time through the Sky Net Satellite Network and the comprehensive mapping images from submarines.

Five hours later, Sakura Island, Diaozi District, near the mouth of the Rikugun River.

Explosions continually sounded. That was the blast from mutant creatures touching off the torpedo field, where the seawater depth was not high, and various underwater weapons began to take effect.

Looking at the satellite images, the surrounding sea area was entirely a black mass.

From a distance, it appeared as if a cruise ship had spilled oil and stained the sea black. However, as the lens zoomed in, everyone saw the dense mass of mutant creatures—their numbers were terrifying!

“Those Zerg were smart, letting those weak mutant creatures walk on the mines while hiding behind.” Qin Peng observed closely as the dense masses were mutant creatures, while the Zerg were scattered among them to avoid being blown up by the mines.

Mutant creatures rushed through the minefield with their flesh and blood, turning the sea’s surface into a riot of color in just a few minutes, like a deity had spilled a mass of paint over the ocean.

Most mutant creatures’ blood was red, with some mixed with other colors.

In the command center, observers reported tensely.

“The Zerg army was twenty kilometers from the coastline! The minefield and deep-sea bombs had already lost fifty percent.”

Before the Zerg even landed, they destroyed most of those bombs, some using their flesh to resist the mines, others using certain electromagnetic methods to dismantle them.

Ishii Koji held his breath as they continued to intercept with underwater weapons, but it was clear that the effect was minimal.

Although one or two million mutant creatures were killed, the real Zerg hadn’t appeared yet!

“The minefield was ineffective!”

“Mutant creatures were about to reach the beach!”

“Bombers, launch!”

“All heavy machine guns and artillery points on the beach, open up!”

“Rockets and short-range missiles standing by!” Ishii Koji ordered.

At this moment, some mutant creatures had already crawled onto the beach. They looked bizarre—some were merely fish with limbs, while there were also soft-bodied creatures slowly moving on the beach; shelled creatures crawled quickly. Most of them were cannon fodders meant to absorb firepower.

Under the bombardment of bullets, shells, and explosives, these guys were shattered to pieces before truly reaching the beach.

The sky, land, and sea—a triad of lines covered with firepower—eloquently displayed human military strength. Mutant creatures couldn’t approach the defensive line.

As everyone had speculated, these not-yet-highly mutated beings could be held back by human firearms,

Seeing this scene, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that defending against the Zerg wasn’t that daunting! In this scenario, as long as they maintained their firepower output, the Zerg couldn’t land!

The ships and underwater weapons at the river mouth could also hold them off.

This continued for half an hour, with gun barrels and cannon barrels starting to heat up, while the density of mutant creatures noticeably decreased.

“Based on this situation, we could completely block them!” Ishikawa Kosuke was reporting to higher-ups when a messenger brought urgent news, “A large number of unidentified creatures were discovered underwater, rapidly approaching the coast!”

“The minefield was completely destroyed!”

“Deep-sea weapon interception failed!”

“They’re on the beach!”

These creatures were so fast that Ishikawa Kosuke didn’t have time to react. Through the drone’s battlefield footage, he saw massive beetles covered in hard shells—in colors like cyan and red.

Their sizes were comparable to armored vehicles, and their movement speed was astonishing!

Bullets hitting them felt like hitting an iron plate, making them difficult to penetrate! Shells might wound them when they hit, but it was hard to kill them!

These creatures broke through the beach defense line in just a few minutes, approaching the coastal defense line!
