Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 146 Seeing the Lizardman Again

In the afternoon of midsummer, in the Zerg sea and land camp, a heavy rain came in a flash, and the thunder was rolling all of a sudden. The land and the sea area were instantly vast.

Whether it is a strong wind or a heavy rain, it has almost no effect on the Zerg.The land part of the Zerg's sea and land camp is built under the ground inside the cliff, and is also heavily guarded, so it is very safe.

This is considered a research base for SARS, and Zero still attaches great importance to it.

However, although these bugs have been acting fiercely since they hatched, even the aging bugs have never been weak, even on the battlefield, at the last moment of their lives, they will exhaust themselves. All strength to kill the enemy.

However, Zero believes that this is not because they are really invulnerable, no matter what kind of bacteria can infect them.The most likely explanation is that they lack feedback about weakness and pain, allowing the effects of this negative state to be ignored.

This is not to say that these bad states don't exist anymore, it's just that they are forcibly ignored, and in fact may still affect the Zerg's body, so that their lifespan.

It is as if a person has lost the perception of pain, so even if his finger is cut off, he will not lose the ability to resist because of too much pain.

It's just that the continuous blood loss will still take away his vitality, which won't change because he doesn't feel pain.

Zero has always known that the Zerg who have come all the way from ants are actually not as strong physically as they seem, even though they have undergone many mutations and enhancements.

They are only strong in execution, and they are just extremely brave. They are not indestructible bodies, or invulnerable bodies, or even immortal souls. They are also life, and they are also made up of the most basic elements in this universe. Composition, in addition to needing food to provide energy, although the need is small, it is still inevitable, and even they have not lost their dependence on liquid water.

Since it is still a creature in the ordinary sense, rather than some kind of technology and hard work, it will naturally suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death, and it has not escaped the laws of nature.

At least the Zerg’s current level of technology cannot change this, and Zero can only find another way, such as dormancy and continuous transformation to prolong their survival time under normal conditions as much as possible, and make them stronger little by little through transformation. Until one day, they really transformed into the powerful creatures in his mind!
………………

The Zerg base camp is windy and rainy here, the sky and the earth are dark, the heavy rain is pouring down, the dark clouds are low, the rain and fog are transpiring, looking from a distance and close up, it is a vast expanse.

However, above the distant sea, there are thousands of miles of clear sky, the sky is as blue as washing, the sea is calm and the sea is calm, the seabirds are flying low, and the fish are diving. It is a harmonious scene of all kinds of frost competing for freedom.

The global exploration team at the forefront of the Zerg is constantly moving forward in the sea.

Because according to zero estimates, the insect swarms departing from the east and west coasts of the mainland should converge in the near future, so in order to facilitate mutual orientation, they are no longer an exploration team composed entirely of foragers.

Half a month ago, they carried out the latest number replenishment, where Zero hatched a batch of Zerg flying dragons for the frontmost exploration team, and used them to determine each other's positions on the vast sea.

There are flying dragons in the sky to guide the way, and there are Zergs roaming in the sea.Whenever the wyvern is exhausted and there are no nearby islands to rest on, the foragers will float to the surface in groups and cooperate with each other to allow the wyvern to rest, and at the same time they will slow down their swimming speed.

In fact, for this kind of function, the hatchery in the sea of ​​the Zerg should be the most suitable. The open fleshy fins on its back serve as the hatching place for the Zerg larvae, and can also provide a foothold for the flying dragon.

It's just that the speed of the hatchery is too slow, and the insect swarm, which is tasked with completing the circumnavigation mission, has no patience to take them forward together.

Every time the number is replenished, it will be left in place to develop itself as a new Zerg camp, so if there is no land nearby, it can only be done by foragers.

The number of simply flying dragons hatched is not large, and it is not difficult to do this.

Under Zero's command, they cooperated tacitly. The foragers were responsible for providing food and resting places for the flying dragons, while the flying dragons pointed out the direction for the entire team with the help of the wide field of view in the sky. At the same time, they were also responsible for carrying the larvae of the Zerg, using Replenish the swarm by converting it into a hatchery when necessary.

Whenever this happens, they get a period of trimming.

The entire exploration team is in order, and they have spent the past two years like this.Today, they are more than [-] kilometers away from the land where the base camp is located, which is already the hinterland of the ocean.

Along the way, they occasionally encounter crises.Most of the time, this kind of crisis can only be regarded as a benefit that comes to the door, but because of the previous attack by parasites, Zero paid some attention to the eating of the Zerg.

They no longer swarm up as usual, but plan to send out "drug testers" to test first, and they will never eat at the same time.

Although this was a lot of trouble, it did avoid many crises and allowed them to reach such a distant sea area smoothly.

The goal of the swarm is to complete the global exploration, so even if they encountered many islands or even small continents along the way, they basically did not stop, leaving the hatchery as a seed to explore slowly, and then left in a hurry.

The global exploration has reached such a level, if nothing else, the Zerg exploration teams from the east and west sides of the mainland should complete their convergence in the near future.

But it was at this last moment that a new discovery forced them to stop.

Without it, after two years, at the other end of the ocean, the flying dragon in the sky once again found traces of the lizardman.

And not on land, they are in the ocean!
Large ships straddle the sea, cleaving the waves and moving forward.

In order to make it easier for the bug swarm to discover the same kind of exploration team from the other side of the continent in the ocean, in the latest hatching, Zero gave the flying dragons almost a copy of the "Eagle Eye" from Sommer, so that their Eyesight has been greatly improved.

The flying dragon flutters its wings and the sea breeze blows.

Zero carefully observed the lizardman ship in the distance through the vision of the flying dragon.

That is indeed a veritable sea ship, with a length of 200 meters and a width of 50 meters!

The tall and wide sails are like walls, providing power for these behemoths.

The ship should be made of wood as a whole, but the exterior and key parts have been covered with iron sheets. From a distance, it looks like a ship made of steel and giant wood in layers, with uniformly dressed lizardmen walking on the deck from time to time. , This is also the direct reason why Zero first determined that this is the lizardman fleet.

This ship alone has actually explained a lot of problems.For example, the opponent's navigation industry must be very developed, and the shipbuilding technology is already very high. Even the matching craftsman technology, iron smelting technology, and the concept of the entire ethnic group can be seen from this.

But these are not the focus of Zero's attention.He watched the lizardman ship in the distance silently through the flying dragon, feeling very peaceful in his heart.

Zero is not surprised that besides the continent where the Zerg is currently located, there are other places suitable for lizardmen to live on this planet.

This is a planet, with such frequent geological activities and numerous islands on the sea, how could there be only one continent?

Zero had expected that the Zerg Global Exploration Team might find other continents or see lizardmen or even other possible intelligent races again.

However, when the Zerg really met them, he still sighed in his heart.

The other party's civilization on the other side of the ocean has basically died out, and now it is estimated that there are only a very small number of tribesmen hiding in unknown corners, waiting for their final destination.

Now, on this planet, the Zerg have encountered another group of them.

Zero didn't care that much about these ships and the lizardmen themselves, what he really cared about was something else.

Through the vision of the flying dragon, Zero's attention was all focused on the giant ship at the head, to be precise, on the bow and sides of the giant ship.

At this distance, through the ability of the young lizard man Sommer, the flying dragon can already see the lizard man on the giant ship clearly, and naturally he can also see the row of dark holes on the other side's side!
Such a size, such a distribution, at this moment, one after another strange and vaguely familiar terms came to his mind.

He knew exactly what it was, it was the muzzle!

This group of lizard people has actually mastered firearms!
Through observation from a distance, due to the angle and light problems, he couldn't determine the extent to which the cannons inside the opponent's ship had developed, but he could be sure that the opponent's use of gunpowder was already ahead of his peers on the other side of the ocean.

Compared with the increasingly arrogant and contemptuous attitude of the Lizardman Empire on the Saran Continent, which is still in the cold weapon era, towards the ocean, this group of Lizardmen is almost a generation behind them!

Zero is almost certain that if there is no Zerg, these two completely different groups of lizard people will inevitably come into contact in the near future, and judging from the current level of technology displayed by both parties, even the current size of the lizard people group And the number is far less than that of the Saadman Empire that occupies the entire continent, and the failure will definitely be the Saadman Empire!

From such a long distance, Zero couldn't tell how far the cannons on their ships had developed, but one thing was certain, that is, their strength was definitely not comparable to that of the previous Saadman Empire.

Zero hasn't even seen the main body of the other party's civilization, and he doesn't know where the other party is. He has come to this conclusion just from the row of twelve large and small sea ships that appear in his field of vision!
Because many things are obvious at a glance.

Not to mention the scientific and technological strength displayed by the other party in terms of navigation technology, just in terms of scale, being able to support the ethnic group to build such a large warship, and to be able to form such a large-scale sea-going ship to go to sea, it has already shown that there must be a powerful and rich behind them. Power is supporting.

This must also be a huge lizard civilization!Moreover, their technological level is significantly higher, at least in the military field, they have completely crushed their previous counterparts.

Zero made such a judgment in his heart, and at the same time, became curious about their level of civilization.

He immediately divided the Zerg exploration team into two, and one team continued to carry the Zerg larvae, looking for the rendezvous of the Zerg swarm from the other side.

The other team immediately hid its whereabouts, and also quickly approached the opponent's fleet from under the surface of the sea, carrying Zerg larvae that could be transformed into hatcheries at any time.

Zero's attitude towards them is to wait and see before they have figured out the other party's civilization process and technological level.

Follow their fleets, find the main body of their civilization, complete the final infiltration, find out their development levels in all aspects one by one, and then decide how to face them.

War or peace, Zero has already made a choice, under the strong pressure of the swarm, there will be no peace.

They need more land and more resources, and the lizardmen will never watch the Zerg plunder what belongs to them. This must have been established since the Zerg first landed on the mainland.

At that time, the Zerg had just got rid of the troubled sea and came to the vast continent.

Out of the need for the survival of the group, he launched a short but tragic genocide war against the lizard people without hesitation, which eventually took more than two years and destroyed the lizard people civilization that had ruled the mainland for thousands of years.

Everything left by its civilization is owned by the Zerg race. The most precious of them is undoubtedly the various knowledge they have accumulated over thousands of years. It is the most precious wealth of a civilization, and it is still in Sass' mind today. It glows and emits heat.

But now, the Zerg met them again. This time, they didn't have the urgent need for survival, but the growth of the group needed more resources and land. Even if they didn't do anything now, there would be an intersection with each other one day.

If you start from the interests of the Zerg race, completely incorporate the entire planet into your own ruling system, without interference from other races, and concentrate all resources to develop yourself, there is no doubt that it is the correct choice.

The bloodthirsty and cruelty shown by the Zerg should not be recognized by other races. If they want to coexist peacefully with intelligent races, taking a step back, even if Zero wants to do so, he can only create trouble for himself.

In comparison, when one has an advantage, it is much more convenient to destroy the other party in one fell swoop and seize the fruits of the other party's civilization to develop oneself than to coexist peacefully with them!
　Thank you book friend [Savage 10086] for rewarding 100 starting coins! !

　　The comments of the last few days may not be displayed due to the restrictions of the risk avoidance, but it should be fine in a few days.It's inconvenient to say more, I understand everything.
