Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 380 All Invaders

The importance of intelligence to the Zerg's current goal is self-evident. In past wars, the Zerg has always been able to take advantage of this aspect by virtue of its own uniqueness. Those intelligent races are basically unable to resist the infiltration of the Zerg, and often in wars Not long after the start or even before it started, the Zerg had actually occupied a huge strategic advantage.

This time the war with magical life is completely different. The Zerg have lost a considerable part of their means of infiltration. And because magic is completely different from existing technology and there is insufficient understanding of it, even if microscopic insect species infiltrate, it will be difficult to achieve useful results. .

Therefore, in addition to infiltration, what the Zerg need to do most is to research existing technologies as much as possible.

Among the known information, the undead used psychic creatures, or even their bodies, to enhance their magic level, which was regarded as a key research direction by the Zerg.

It is obvious that as long as this research can bear fruit, even if the Zerg cannot perfectly apply psychic powers, they can still obtain powerful magical insect species in a short time.

Zero has always given priority to pragmatism. No matter what, it comes in handy first.

As for the collision with magical civilization in this universe, their intelligence collection and research on the "magic array" are much later.

Of course, even if the priority is not that high, the Zerg have already taken considerable actions.

For example, the release of microscopic insect species, or the study of captured enemy warships, etc.

The size of the Zerg is large enough. Today, there are not a few scientific research talents, and there is no shortage of materials. Even the newly discovered energy of magical power, the Zerg has obtained considerable reserves from the alien beast space, and at the same time supports It is not a problem for multiple studies to go hand in hand.

In the new universe, with the help of the "legacy" of the undead, the insect swarm has made rapid progress in imitating the enemy to conduct psychic research. Although it has not yet reached the level of absorbing psychic energy to strengthen itself like those undead summoners, But finally there are some clues.

It is worth mentioning that during this process, due to the need to constantly "assimilate" new undead, the Zerg's understanding of those undead gradually deepened.

Their special assimilation effect can be regarded as unveiling some of their own mysteries to the insect swarm. During the research, Zero asked the insect swarm to imitate the magic of this special attribute. Finally, by chance, he successfully possessed A glimmer of the ability to "resurrect" the dead.

However, this "transformation" of the Zerg still seems to have not touched its essence, and cannot be carried out on all creatures as desired. Moreover, because it was achieved by coincidence, its specific principles still need to be explored and summarized.

But no matter what, the research on magic energy with special attributes has finally seen a glimmer of light, which is of great significance to the swarm of insects that are fighting against the zerg with various magic attributes on the frontal battlefield.

The darkness in the new universe is like a huge ocean containing huge spiritual energy. Because it is actually too huge, the spiritual energy is diluted in it, and eventually tends to a stable level, providing the opportunity for the birth of special life here. A hotbed.

How life was born here has long been unverifiable. Just like the birth of the universe, there are only some inconspicuous clues left in the end. We can get a glimpse of what it looked like when it was first born, but no one can guarantee that that is the truth. .

But when the miracle of life circulates here, it must not be because of the almost nonexistent matter here. In other words, although each of them has an entity or may not, it is closely related to this seemingly endless darkness.

Psychic energy must have participated in the initial structure of life, just like when the first bud of life was born in the real universe, it took endless coincidences to achieve such a miracle.

After a long period of research, the Zerg traced its origins and finally determined a general direction, that is, if they want to understand the nature of psychic energy, they may have to start from the source of psychic life.

.......................................

In Zerg 4971, the Zerg Swarm made significant progress on the Zerg battlefield.

After continuously charging forward and conquering an area that was obviously defended by more powerful zerg, Zero discovered the first zerg "stronghold" on the continent!

It is said to be a stronghold, but in fact it is similar to the existence of the Zerg incubation base, except that units like the Zerg themselves often take into account many other functions, such as material transfer, even the re-incubation of Zerg units and scientific research base stations, etc., while in aliens Here, all that is left is hatching.

This is a huge female worm, just like the giant hatchery of the Zerg thousands of years ago. It consumes huge resources in its body like a hill. Zerg insects are constantly crawling out of its body, shaking their heads. The spirit will immediately join the battlefield.

In order to conquer this place, the Zerg themselves also paid a certain price. At this moment, the Zerg swarm has completely occupied this place, and the huge female worm used entirely for hatching has become a prisoner of the Zerg.

Naturally, no one will provide resources for it, and there will be no more worms pouring out of the body. In some cases, only a huge and ugly zerg mother body will be left.

It is an important research material, and it is also the most important Zerg unit captured by the Zerg during this long war.

Why these zerg are able to be born with magical abilities, the answer must be obtained from it.

In fact, Zero had already made a guess, because it just stayed there, and the surrounding magic energy naturally gathered towards it, and was eventually absorbed by it. This is probably the reason why the magic energy in this space is thin. This is also why the zerg it hatches are magical.

But how the other party did it still needs some research.

Now that they already have living materials, the Zerg will not hesitate. A large number of micro-units have already entered its body through various "channels" exposed by the opponent. On the premise of not causing fatal damage to it, the Zerg will try to figure out its body structure as much as possible during the first phase of research on it.

Of course, this process is not smooth sailing. Even though it is just a female insect with no offensive ability, not to mention how much effort the Zerg put into capturing it. Its own defense ability alone caused a lot of damage to the insect swarms that entered it. deficit.

It's not that its body is so hard, but the defense methods in this bug's body are really unpredictable. Venom, gas, physical squeeze, etc. are just ordinary. The most important thing is that it can move extremely flexibly in its body. Use magic with various attributes, some of which even the Zerg have never encountered on the battlefield!

It is not an easy task to complete the research without harming it.

Zero also thought about finding ways to "anaesthetize" or "stun" it, but it turned out that these defensive methods did not seem to be the subjective actions of the insect itself, but a premise based on the intruder entering the body. The next passive method!

It can make completely different reactions based on the different properties of the invaders. Especially this kind of insect has a very high similarity with the Zerg. It can be said that they themselves are also very proficient in some of the methods of the Zerg. For the Zerg, this caused more trouble.

As a last resort, Zero could only stage a mutual transformation of "spear and shield" with the opponent. The opponent was already a piece of meat on the chopping board. There was no reason why the swarm of insects would have nothing to do with it.

As the Zerg microscopic units entered its body and searched for key units for research and restorative destruction, the Zerg's resistance gradually became lower and lower, and eventually it became a living creature lying flat at the mercy of the Zerg.

And it was only at this time that Zero could conduct a thorough study of it.

In its body, there is an obviously distinctive, tumor-like structure. Even though the Zerg has completely paralyzed the mother body, it is still functioning, continuously extracting magical energy from the outside world. Transformed and transported to the surrounding "spawn" areas.

There are naturally no mature eggs to absorb this magical energy. This magical energy eventually escapes into its body again and is collected again through some strange circuit!

Obviously, this is the core biological structure of why this zerg mother body can hatch magical worms. It collects the non-attributed magical energy from the outside world, and finally gives it to all the worms born from it through some kind of conversion!

The moment he saw it, Zero knew that the Zerg could definitely reproduce it! It’s hard to say whether it can be better and more complete than the zerg, but there will definitely be no problem if it is applied to the hive mothership!

As for the problem that magic energy does not exist in other dimensions, it does not matter. The Zerg has countless magic ores without any attributes. Judging from the conversion efficiency of this Zerg mother body, the magic ore currently controlled by the Zerg contains With the magical energy, it should not be a problem to hatch billions of Zerg medium-sized units.

In the alien beast space, the Zerg collection operation is far from complete. A large number of adult alien beasts and individuals about to become adults are strangled by the Zerg without any mercy or mercy. In contrast, there is a steady stream of alien beasts. Obtain Earth Magic Ore!

Now with the help of the Zerg mother body, the Zerg will be able to deploy brand new combat units on the two battlefields of alien beasts and magical civilization, especially the magical civilization. Zero always feels that with the opponent's response speed, although the Zerg has completed the initial The encirclement has been broken through, but the subsequent process will never be too smooth, and it is imperative to invest more powerful combat forces!

Of course, the premise of all this is that you can master the application of part of the magic energy.

…………

As time went by, many studies gradually yielded results. The research on the zerg mother body allowed Zero to learn some of the secrets of the zerg. It is obvious that the magic conversion in this zerg mother body has undergone many optimizations. It can be seen that there are still some "obsolete" traces in its incubation structure, which should be evidence left by the "previous version".

For magical energy, these zerg are also adapting. After all, for this limited continent, the existence of zerg is simply a cancer. If there is no limit, then they will definitely exhaust the last trace of magic power here. .

There is no doubt that the original concentration of magic here must be far higher than the current level. This is the biggest reason why as the war progresses, the zerg mother body has to improve its absorption efficiency to meet the consumption on the front line.

It is absolutely certain that there is more than one mother body. This is probably the "general commander" or the logistics supplement base of the Zerg on this line of defense. But in other directions, even if the Zerg mother body is paralyzed, those who exude... The bugs with magical fluctuations are still risking their lives to fight against the high-energy Zerg units.

Obviously, the opponent's "leader" has another insect, at least it definitely cannot be this one.

The research results also confirmed this conclusion. This bug only has the ability to hatch, but has no means of affecting the activities of other bugs.

It can't be said that it is completely absent. At least during the period when it was just hatched, it was still able to give orders to the zerg larvae around it. However, it is undoubtedly too much to say that a being like it is the commander of countless zerg. Lift it up.

As the level of magic on the continent decreases, the enemy's individual strength will only become weaker and weaker. This is probably the reason why they could only come up with a batch of elite units every once in a while. It is not that the opponent cannot hatch, but the actual conditions. They can no longer be allowed to hatch elite zerg on a large scale!

Fortunately, the Zerg will not be affected by this at present. Although the incubation of high-energy units of the Zerg is also limited by Zhuna's split in the real universe in a sense, those energy lives that rely on stellar energy to exist and reproduce can almost be said to be It is endless, and there is no need to worry about the day when it will be exhausted.

It can be said that the Zerg's strategic advantage here does not entirely come from its own strength, but from the opponent's weakness.

If the Zerg is also an invader on this continent, then its original strength should not be as strong as after magical transformation, because if it was stronger than it is now, there would be no need for magical transformation and it would not end up in this situation. .

What I'm most curious about is, if these bugs are not native creatures, where did they come from before they invaded, and how did they complete the invasion?

The same is true even for the alien beasts, but what is certain is that the alien beasts are also invaders in that space, and the Zerg are also looking for their way of invasion.

On the one hand, they are entangled with the magical civilization of another world, and on the other hand, the Zerg have not stopped searching for the larger world.

But what Zero didn't expect was that a few years later, the insect species that were originally sent out to try to have some intelligence advantages when facing the magical civilization fleet discovered some more amazing phenomena in this universe!

These existences, which were thought to be civilizations developed by native life, actually do not seem to be native species!
