Zerg evolution road

Chapter 81 Parasites

Zhang Fan looked at these black scaled locusts anxiously from the lord's perspective: "Are you Zerg or we are Zerg, how did they evolve so fast?"

The offensive of the Zerg army began to weaken, but in some areas, the scale leech began to organize a counterattack.

I don't know what kind of natural enemy will pose a threat to them. This is obviously a bit invincible, okay?

At this time, Adam has already analyzed the active gene, which has a nice name, evolution gene.

Evolutionary genes originally lived in the cells of organisms, and evolved through natural selection and survival of the fittest.

It may be several years, or it may be ten thousand years. It depends on the activity of evolutionary genes, and the leech belongs to the kind with particularly high activity of evolutionary genes. 80.00% of the cells are such evolutionary genes.

Although this is terrible, it also caused a bad result, that is, the overall vitality of the scaled leech is relatively weak.

In order to evolve, they have given up the right to survive that creatures should have, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhang Fan feels that this kind of evolutionary gene must be handled with care. It is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it will benefit the Zerg race. If it is not used well, it will stagnate forever.

In the end, Zhang Fan decided to let the incubator take the responsibility. At any rate, this building is specially used to synthesize and preserve genes. In the face of special circumstances, the incubator will also have a state of reversing the defeat.

After solving the problem of the evolutionary gene, Gaia also developed a parasite, which imitated the leeches, and increased the evolutionary gene attribute of the parasite to 90.00%.

From this point of view, parasites are creatures that evolve faster than scale leeches.

It's just that this parasite has three disadvantages.

The first disadvantage is that they must absorb enough nutrients to undergo four or five mitotic divisions before the battle begins.

The second disadvantage is that every time a newly hatched parasite, all evolutionary attributes start from scratch.

In other words, every time you fight with parasites, you will return to the original state.

The third shortcoming is the lifespan of the parasite. The evolution is too fast, which severely overdraws the life. After several divisions, the first female will die, but this does not affect the development of subsequent parasites.

Zhang Fan decided to put these parasites on the battlefield. In the current situation, let's use the host as the mother to provide nutrients.

As the first battle against the parasites, Zhang Fan specially dispatched a hundred hosts as transportation, and those parasites were parasitic in the hosts' bodies.

The host floated above the scaled leech, and then Zhang Fan activated the parasites, and then these parasites seemed to turn into terrifying devouring beasts, greedily absorbing everything on the host.

The hosts began to shrivel up visible to the naked eye, and then the hosts began to be bitten by small holes one after another.

The hydrogen in the body had already leaked, the host was on the verge of falling, and finally there was a ripping sound, and a big hole was broken on both sides of the body.

In this way, the milky white parasites fell into the leech swarm.

As soon as these scale leeches saw the parasites, they stepped forward and bit them without saying a word, and the losses of the parasites were great.

At this time, the characteristics of mitosis were displayed in this way. After withstood the first wave of attacks, the parasites began to divide, making up for the lack in an instant.

Then it was time for the counterattack of the parasites, they jumped up and bit them like scale leeches.

This is not manipulated by Zhang Fan, but comes from the instinct of the parasites, which is a fighting method specially designed by Gaia.

They are like biological/chemical weapons, they will continue to expand. In this case, Zhang Fan will be overqualified and useless before operating them.

As the saying goes, killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, Zhang Fan just needs to be a spectator on the sidelines.

There are only two concepts in the parasite's mind, phagocytosis and evolution, and it only needs these two concepts.

Because they are purebred wild creatures, if these parasites are not under Zhang Fan's control, there will be no distinction between friend and foe.

The parasite's counterattack did not do much damage to the leech at the beginning, because the evolutionary genes have not yet shown their prestige.

If only relying on the sharp teeth in the mouth to bite flat, it is difficult for the parasite to bite through the scales of the leech.

After the first counterattack, the evolutionary genes in the parasite began to mutate, and sections of chaotic purines began to combine. This combination was only suitable for parasites and could not be transcribed by Gaia.

In the mouthparts of the parasite, the sharp teeth gradually grow long enough to bite through the scales of the leech.

Another bout of rapid mitosis followed, doubling the number of hundreds of parasites at once.

The scale leech and the parasite have started an evolutionary chase. If your attack is enhanced, then my defense must be enhanced. If your scales are improved, then my sharp teeth will become longer.

Gradually, the parasites began to gain the upper hand, and the body also turned into a very tough taupe, and the sharp teeth in the mouthparts had grown out of the mouth.

On the other hand, the scale leeches, blindly improving their defense, now appear a little bloated, and their attack speed and movement speed have been greatly slowed down.

The parasites started chasing the leeches, expanding from the center.

The first batch of split parasites has died, and they have overdrawn their full potential. Each female worm has split into thousands of larvae, and the second batch of larvae have also become mother worm.

The scale leeches were eaten away step by step, and the parasites had reached the edge of the Zerg army. When they saw the springtails, they opened their mouths and bit them.

Zhang Fan easily restrained them with his own thinking, and then ordered the parasites to turn around and head north.

When the last leech died, the parasites began to look for all the food around them that they could devour.

The young grass and green shoots that have just grown have also become their dishes.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Fan felt a little awkward. These little guys looked harmless to humans and animals, but the exponential growth made all creatures afraid.

Seeing that there were no other creatures around, Zhang Fan gently fiddled with the lipid bonds in the parasites, and all the parasites froze as if time had stopped.
Afterwards, the bodies of all the parasites began to collapse, turning into a puddle of thick water and spilling on the ground, nourishing the land.

"Okay, move on, Gaia, you can make arrangements to let the worker bees lay the creep, and the ground thorns are also built. I don't want the land I just occupied to be invaded by other creatures." Zhang Fan ordered.
