Something's wrong with these zerg

Chapter 17 Transition Chapter

Mo Lan was sitting on the back of the transport bug, and Xiao Jiang was standing next to her. She looked a bit like a king who was personally conscripted by a royal driver sitting on the carriage frame, with tentacles and spider bugs lined up on both sides, which was even more like an escort. personal soldier.

In fact, it's true to think so. Mo Lan is indeed preparing to go deep into the forest and fight a battle. It is inevitable to expand the number of Zergs. The queen with only a dozen or twenty Zergs under her hand is too shabby no matter what.

For this reason, Mo Lan even hatched an extra transport worm, and followed behind, carrying two hatching nests on her back, making full preparations for fighting all the way.

The actual appearance of the transport worm is somewhat like a buckled bowl, with a body length of more than five meters, dozens of pairs of feet in a circle under the feet, and huge tentacles flying randomly on both sides.

In addition to carrying the prey on the back, the transport bug can also open its large body several meters high, and put important things inside the body for protection. The hard body is strong enough to resist most of the attack damage.

Mo Lan can even transform the inside of the transport worm into a small room, but there is no need for it. When she thinks that it is actually a place equivalent to her abdomen, Mo Lan has no idea about entering a thing.

The kahur trees grow tall, and the distance between them is large enough, which also allows the giant transport insects to walk freely in it. After all, the six-eyed bear Hanpa, which is more than four meters high, is a permanent resident in this forest. The environment where they can move freely will not embarrass Mo Lan's Zerg who is smaller than the six-eyed bear.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Mo Lan did not use mental power to investigate, but ordered the Zerg to advance straight in one direction. On the way, no matter what creatures they encountered, they would kill and eat them all.

So a scene appeared in the forest. Several or dozens of tentacle insects flew out in front of them quietly, tearing up those creatures that were resting or vigilant, and the blood-spattered corpses were brought to the back, pale The egg-like hatching nest swallowed them all, and the new tentacle worms at the other end tore the egg bag, and fell to the ground covered in transparent mucus, and slowly chased to the team in front, mixed in a certain dispatch, and washed off their bodies with blood of slime.

Many tentacle worms died at the hands of powerful prey, but Mo Lan didn't even feel sorry for them, and watched indifferently as those hatching nests devoured the corpses and hatched more worms.

Originally, the rotting membrane and the hatching nest were two separate organs, but Mo Lan found it troublesome, so he fused them together. Today's hatching nest has its own digestive function, but it is a lot bigger.

This was really too boring a trip, the blood soaked the entire road that the Zergs walked, like a red carpet laying in the forest, the sky became dark and bright again, Mo Lan waved his hand and stopped the Zergs in front of them the pace of the line.

"Are you going back? I've analyzed several genetic ratios, and you can try them later." Shiqi seemed to have no sympathy in her emotions. It ignored so many lives lost under the claws of the Zerg, but recorded what they left behind. The genes in the belly of the Zerg helped Mo Lan explore the appropriate proportion of the new Zerg.

Or, because those lives are not human beings.

"It should be enough." After more than 40 days, Mo Lan looked at the hundreds of Zerg next to him, and sighed quietly, "If I don't go back, I may not be able to support them."

The Zerg cannot move without eating or drinking, and one energy is only enough for one tentacle insect to consume for three days. In other words, these hundreds of tentacle insects consume hundreds of energy in a day, and they have to hunt more than 20 tentacle insects a day Six-eyed bear will do.

And the ten transport bugs behind him and the hatching nests above consume more than ten parts of energy a day.

"The family is big and the business is big, and the expenses are high." Mo Lan sighed. In fact, the reason she chose to stop was because she found that the current tentacle insects entered this depth, and it was a bit difficult to hunt. Usually, several tentacles had to be sacrificed to survive. Capture a huge beast similar to a tiger, but with not much energy gained.

In other words, Mo Lan is stuck, her attack power is not enough, and she can't get through.

If you fight hard, the gains will not be worth the losses. When the gains are about to equal the sacrifices, Mo Lan knows that this time, she will probably get nothing more than this.

It’s not a pity that the planet Tanron is several times larger than the earth, and this huge forest named Yegu occupies one-fifth of the entire planet’s area. The Yegu forest is not a perfect circle, roughly The top is in the shape of a crescent moon. Mo Lan started to land on one of the corners of the crescent moon. Now he has gone deep into the forest and traveled continuously for more than [-] days. After all, he may have walked one-thousandth of the length of the entire forest.

Of course, Mo Lan's destination is the center of the forest, so the distance should be halved, [-]/[-].

This forest did not make her despair, but filled her with anticipation. After all, only a big enough stage could allow her to accumulate strength to catch up with other Zerg queens.

Xiao Jiang has basically never made a move, just like he only needs to operate those complicated machines on the Zerg starship, so beside Mo Lan, he only needs to act as a guard who doesn't need to make a move.

Most of the first ten tentacle worms were dead. The reason why most of them were said was because Mo Lan found that there was still one tentacle worm alive. It persisted from the first battle until now, covered in scars And the incompleteness of limbs makes it look like a beggar against the background of the Zerg next to it.

But in fact, it stood proudly in front of other Zergs, and no Zerg dared to stand alongside it. Under its scent, other Zergs would even show instinctive panic.

Humans have generals, and Zerg naturally have them too.

Even the same Zerg will have subtle differences. Some Zergs are better at finding prey, some are better at fighting, workers can fight, and soldiers can mine.

It's just that compared to humans who can freely express their thoughts and consciousness, the Zergs don't have so much self-expression. They will only show their differences from countless behaviors, just like the proud and independent tentacle insect.

"Your name is Jiangjia." Mo Lan gave it a name, even though it couldn't understand the meaning of it.

The nearest hatching nest opened the mouth of the nest, which was just a communication of consciousness, Jiang Jia obeyed the command in consciousness without hesitation, stepped in, and the hatching nest slowly closed.

The hatching nest can convert the Zerg into energy to hatch new Zerg, and can also use the energy stored in it to heal the injured Zerg. Mo Lan gave the name of the general, and naturally he will not turn his head and recycle it as tatters. energy.

The generals of the Zerg are actually very rare, because they lack the fear of death, so every expedition of the Zerg is based on life and death as the bet, and those who can survive countless wars are really rare, because they are not afraid of death, so they are easier to touch die.

It didn't take long for Jiangjia to tear the hatching membrane and walk out with a more powerful and healthy posture than other tentacle insects, covered with old scars.

The hatching nest can transform other races into Zerg, and it can also restore and heal the original Zerg, or even strengthen the Zerg, but most of the time, Mo Lan can't use this function.

Rather than treating a dying Zerg, it is better to directly convert it into energy and hatch new Zergs, but the armor is obviously worth it. In countless battles, it has obtained an indescribable transformation. And this became the biggest difference between it and other Zerg, and Mo Lan also treated it differently.

Jiang Jia became the second Zerg standing beside Mo Lan.

Mo Lan was thinking about the return route. It was absolutely impossible to go back the same way. She brought hundreds of Zerg all the way and killed all the way. All the energy gained, except for daily consumption, was used to incubate new Zerg without any reservations. Otherwise, how could she support a team of hundreds of Zergs.

The route she had come from had been destroyed by her all the way, leaving no living creatures behind. At this time, returning the same way made it clear that hundreds of Zergs like her would starve.

She didn't want a dozen Zergs to come out, and finally raised a few hundred, because there was not enough food and they killed each other, leaving a dozen or so to go back - if there was no food, some Zergs could only be sacrificed to feed the others.

"Then go this way." The return journey will inevitably take a big detour, and Mo Lan knows that one side is close to the mine, so she is worried that if she detours around and then goes out of the forest, she will be exposed to humans and cause unnecessary trouble. Trouble, I chose the other side after thinking for a while.

Going back, the difficulty of hunting dropped again, and returned to the area where the tentacle insects are good at, and there was no more sacrifice. Mo Lan felt that the number of insects at this time was enough for the time being, so they did not hatch new insects. They are all accumulated and used to experiment with hatching new Zerg species.

It took longer to go back by the detour than the straight line when I came. It was night and day and night before Mo Lan returned to her cave full of spider webs. This sentence is not an exaggeration.

The few spiders who were left to guard the house were obviously very dedicated. A thick layer of spider webs covered the cave tightly, and it looked like no one could get in. Mo Lan, who was already half a spider, didn't feel a little bit about it. It feels like home, and even wants to remake a few spider worms.

And she did.

The new spider worm is even smaller in size, but its stomach is twice as big, which is very exaggerated. This kind of spider worm has no fighting power and is generally toxic. The only advantage is that the spider silk it vomits is quite tough—this is caused After Shiqi's calculations, the Zerg genes that best meet Mo Lan's requirements for making clothes.

Not all Zergs were hatched with the goal of fighting. For example, the current Zerg Queen also raised a group of Zergs with human genes to control Zerg starships. It is normal for Mo Lan to try to make some daily-use bugs.

Until Mo Lan suddenly discovered that she couldn't spin, let alone weave...

She needs a "player" now!

　　Well, the game will be out soon...

　　Probably, if the plot is written faster...
