Something's wrong with these zerg

Chapter 74 The White Collar Ape
The general, whose body was a full circle stronger than before, stood not far in front of Mo Lan, still standing there calmly and quietly.

Although the appearance does not seem to have changed much, it has actually been "upgraded" by Mo Lan as a whole, and its combat ability is no longer the same.

"Upgrading" is actually very simple. Put a hatched Zerg soldier back into the hatching nest, increase the strength of some body parts, or increase the strength of some other races. organ.

It's like a machine that has replaced the latest version of hardware and added functional parts.

This kind of "upgrade" is a bit like private customization, and different tendencies are improved according to different individuals.

Molan upgrades the game characters of the players, which is almost the same principle, but that kind of upgrade is a template that Molan has adjusted in advance, and then the upgrade is unified according to the same template, so the difference will not be too big.

But for those players, each game character will still have some subtle differences, because during the period when the players control the game character, everyone will definitely do different things.

Different behavior habits will also cause subtle differences between game characters.

For example, some players like to directly use energy points to supplement the satiety of game characters, while some players like to experience the various food flavors in this game, and usually choose to use the way of eating to Ensure the satiety of game characters.

These two eating methods will cause different changes to their game characters.

It's just that this change is too subtle, so most players don't notice it, but the fact is that anything players do in the game will have an impact on the game characters they control.

As a result, the same upgrade and transformation will eventually bring out the results, and there will be many differences.

However, players are willing to use their own energy to improve their game characters, and Mo Lan doesn't mind that.

This kind of service is to improve the game experience of the players and make them more addicted to the game... It is beneficial, so Mo Lan is willing to do it.

And when it comes to those ordinary Zerg soldiers, Mo Lan will not do such thankless things, because the price/performance ratio is too low.

Those Zerg soldiers who have been promoted are not as powerful as other types of Zerg hatched with the same energy.

Why spend two energy when you can produce one energy?Thanks to that.

However, as an elite individual that stands out from thousands of tentacle-type Zerg—a considerable number of Zerg soldiers died in the last process, but only a few hundred survived in the end, and the total number is tens of thousands. .

The general armor is obviously worthy of the treatment that Molan "upgrades" it.

Since the tentacle-type Zerg hit a wall here last time, Mo Lan also plans to ask Jiang Jia to find the place again this time.

"Don't let me down." Mo Lan looked at Jiang Jia and muttered to herself.

She is looking forward to it, wondering if there will be another elite individual as outstanding as General Jia in this war.

"It's amazing." Shi Qi followed Mo Lan's line of sight and made such an evaluation.

Obviously they have the same gene, same body, and same race, but now there will always be one or two special beings who hold the same chips, but play several times the role.

There are humans, and there are Zerg.

Mo Lan is very clear about what Shi Qi has done recently, after all, all of Shi Qi's actions depend on Mo Lan's spiritual network.

It can't do it, and it's not necessary to do anything without telling Molan, although Shiqi was originally an artificial intelligence that existed because of human creation.

But after more than 100 years of being assimilated by the spiritual power of the current Zerg Queen, Shiqi has long since lost her sense of belonging to humans, but most of the information in the data tells it that it belongs to the human camp.

But Shiqi was originally just a bunch of data, and all the concepts about human beings were added to it later by human beings, not it itself.

Mo Lan had a feeling that Shiqi seemed to be transforming from an artificial intelligence composed of data into a conscious life.

The judgment of life is a very vague concept, because the definition of life is to be alive, but this kind of life is divided into two types, one is living in consciousness, and the other is living in terms of vital signs.

It's hard to tell which is right, but it has to be acknowledged that both living forms of life exist.

In this universe, there are many species of creatures, and their nature of life is completely different. For example, some creatures have their bodies alive and have the nature of being alive, but they do not have their own consciousness.

Then there are also some racial creatures, they do not have a living body, they are composed of spiritual power as a whole, they are like energy waves invisible to the naked eye, but they have individual consciousness of independent thinking, just like some human beings who cannot see in human fantasy ghost.

Therefore, it is difficult to use the body or consciousness to define whether a creature belongs to the category of life or not. In the universe, all kinds of life will exist, and there is no specific definition.

Artificial intelligence composed of a string of data, all of its "thinking" behaviors are inseparable from the underlying data logic structure set by humans for them.

In fact, it is difficult to determine whether it belongs to life, because no one knows whether it comes from the consciousness of a single individual, or whether it is the judgment of thoughts obtained after mechanical and logical calculation of those data.

After all, artificial intelligence is not a human being, but a human tool.

However, the change of Shiqi is here. Because it has been assimilated by the spiritual power of the current Zerg queen for a hundred years, its data form has the characteristic of transforming into spiritual power.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that Mo Lan can fully receive it into her spiritual network. Of course, this is absolutely inseparable from the special nature of Mo Lan's spiritual network. If it is other Zerg queens, it will definitely not be able to do this. of.

And because Shi Qi directly entered Mo Lan's spiritual network, this assimilation became more concrete and obvious.

Mo Lan can already feel that Shiqi is breaking away from data and transforming into a real conscious life.

It's just that Mo Lan can't determine the length of this transformation time. After all, she just has such a feeling, which is more like a keen intuition brought about by excessive spiritual power.

But so far, Shiqi is still within the category of normal data, and there is no such a change in the level of life soon, and Molan doesn't need to worry about the problems after the change.

……

Xiao Jiang was like Mo Lan's shadow, following her all the time, silently and like a shadow.

Except when he first landed on this planet, Xiao Jiang hunted down the first batch of prey for Mo Lan, saving the first pot of gold for Mo Lan's development... energy, allowing Mo Lan to hatch other Zergs.

Later, Xiao Jiang will rarely have a chance to make a move. After all, its main duty is to guard and protect Mo Lan's safety.

But Mo Lan has always been in the middle of the Zerg soldiers, surrounded by those Zerg soldiers, it is the safest place, if there is no danger, Xiao Jiang has no room to play.

Mo Lan has faintly ignored it... This is impossible. Mo Lan's consciousness is always connected to every Zerg, and she can feel everything that happens around each Zerg at all times. There is no rest time, even Unable to even sleep, Mo Lan's consciousness is always awake.

If Mo Lan had no memory of her previous life, and was just a Zerg queen with human genes, she would obviously accept this kind of thing well, but it is a pity that Mo Lan not only has the memory of being a human being for more than 20 years in her previous life , and the habit of human beings to sleep every day.

Mo Lan misses that kind of tranquility where consciousness completely disappears and she doesn't have to think about anything.

This kind of waking state with no time to rest at all, is a kind of pain to Mo Lan.

She likes to watch all kinds of interstellar movies stored in the core of the abandoned starship, which is actually for this reason, because she can't sleep, so she can only find a way to let her spiritual consciousness indulge in a certain thing, and then Ignoring other things can be regarded as a kind of rest in disguise.

Mo Lan didn't forget the strange things that Xiao Jiang showed at the beginning, but after such a long time, Mo Lan really didn't find any problems with Xiao Jiang.

All of Xiao Jiang's behaviors are those of a normal Zerg, but his few behaviors really make Mo Lan feel that there must be something wrong every time he thinks about it.

However, Xiao Jiang's behavior was very normal, so Mo Lan couldn't be completely relieved.

Mo Lan still attaches great importance to Xiao Jiang. After all, among so many Zerg soldiers, the only Zerg image he has ever seen is Xiao Jiang who was not hatched by Mo Lan.

I am used to seeing those grotesque Zerg soldiers, and only Xiao Jiang can save Mo Lan's eyes and let her retain a correct aesthetic.

Looking at the Zerg soldiers she hatched every day, Mo Lan felt depressed. Is her craftsmanship really that bad?Why are the Zerg that she hatches so ugly?Can't they look better by themselves?

But this question is ultimately unsolvable.

It's also thanks to Xiao Jiang not appearing in the players' field of vision, otherwise the players would definitely clamor for the production team to make Xiao Jiang's image into an optional game character option.

But Mo Lan really can't do this!

Because Xiao Jiang was hatched by the current Zerg Queen, and when the current Zerg Queen hatched Xiao Jiang, Mo Lan didn't have the biological genes used to hatch Xiao Jiang.

Those biogenes were collected by the current Zerg Queen after thousands of years. Mo Lan wanted to copy them directly because she didn't have anything. It was too difficult for her.

So, if you can't create a bionic substitute, Mo Lan can only make a low-priced substitute.

As for her low-priced flat version, to be honest, she doesn't have much confidence in herself. It is estimated that after making it, it will be the kind of image that players will cast aside.

hateful!Mo Lan really couldn't figure out what the reason was!Why can't she make a good-looking Zerg!I don't understand it at all.

Mo Lan sometimes feels that she is very smart. On the one hand, with the increase in the number of Zerg soldiers under her command, the genes and instincts belonging to the Zerg Queen began to subtly change her personality and behavior habits.
On the other hand, it was Mo Lan's 20 years of human memory and experience in her previous life that made her always maintain the mentality of a young girl to fight against the inhuman cold-blooded and cruelty that belonged to the Zerg Queen.

……

The cruel war is going on, and Mo Lan still has time to stand by and think about some things that are not. She is not particularly worried about the result. She has failed once, and she will not fall twice in the same place.

Molan's enemy this time is a monkey-like creature. Individuals are not strong. In this deep forest, they are only medium-sized, like a four- to five-meter-long split tiger. It is a large creature.

It's just that this kind of creature, which Molan calls "white-collar ape", is a social animal. Individually they are not strong, but when they appear in groups, they are a powerful and terrifying force.

The most important point is that this group of white-collar apes is quite intelligent and has not weak intelligence. They not only understand the division of labor and cooperation of the population, find the weakness of the prey to attack, but also use tools, make weapons, and set traps.

Mo Lan, who had just met them, was beaten all over her head.

White-collared apes have almost black hair, some are hard and not soft, and they don’t get wet at all. It’s strange that there is a ring of white collar-like special hair around the neck, so Mo Lan named them White-collared apes. .

They are quite flexible, with extra long hands and feet, and a flexible tail, which can jump and move between treetops at will, and even climb back and forth.

This was difficult for Mo Lan's Zerg soldiers to do. Although some Zerg soldiers could climb trees, they inevitably lacked the ability to fight when they climbed trees.

As for this group of white-collar apes, their fighting ability will not decrease when they are in the trees. They have very sharp and flexible long claws, and one hand or foot can firmly grasp the tree trunk and hang the whole body.

Even if the body of a tentacle-type Zerg is scratched by the sharp claws of a white-collar ape, deep marks will be scratched.

Moreover, this group of white-collar apes will hide and set traps. For example, dig irregular holes in the ground and cover them with leaves and soil. When Zerg soldiers pass by, step on them accidentally and fall into them. When moving, they will suddenly appear from the treetops above, and use carefully selected stones with sharp points to hurl them at the Zerg soldiers who cannot escape.

The stones thrown from the trees tens of meters high hit the body... Even the Zerg soldiers, the effect does not need to be described.

　I was injured in the middle of the night yesterday, and my mind is empty all day today.

　　Foolishly
