Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 4 Because, I am...

"what should I do?"

Agatha's claws were closed together, and a pair of eyes shone with a mysterious red light: "Use psionic energy to link it."

"I don't even know what psionic energy is..." Before he finished speaking, the young psionic energy was linked to the callus in his hand as his attention shifted.

As with Agatha before, the young man at this time only felt that he could control everything about this piece of callus.Obviously, the so-called psionic connection has become an instinctive reaction for young people at this time.

"It's pretty simple."

And as the young people's attention was further hit, the young people only felt that they were stretched and widened like noodles, and finally turned into an astonishingly wide and boundless "road".

The road is bustling with endless swarms of Zerg units ranging from wolfhound-sized zerglings to cloaking leviathans.

But almost all creatures are silent and dim, and only half of the queen's body is bright and active.

This is the current him, the consciousness of the youth, and also the collection of all living organism units that exist and have appeared in the swarm, and also store all the knowledge and experiences of the swarm.

Looking at the starting point of the "road".

Suddenly, the young man felt that he seemed to have traveled through endless years and came to the ancient time.In the primordial split pool soup, the first larvae are born.

Driven by parasitism, devouring, killing, and indescribable creatures from the sky, the discrete swarms are gathered together to form an orderly and compact population, and the spirit of the zerg constitutes a mountain-like The individual-master was born.

Since then, the swarm has grown rapidly under the leadership of successive masters... until the last master broke the barrier and chose himself for the development of the swarm, regardless of the rebound of the entire universe...

Young people also understand the essence of their "road" - the will of the hive.

Although Agatha is the only unit of the Zerg Swarm under his command so far, his figure has been seared into the history of the Zerg Swarm and has been integrated into all Zerg units...

Because, I am...

With a shiver, the ruler came back to his senses.

"Master?" Agatha showed a puzzled look, "Is something wrong?"

The Master turned his head and glanced at Agatha.His consciousness entered the will of the hive again, and descended on Agatha.

Agatha's movements slowed down, the red light in her eyes flickered twice like a human blinking, and then she began to look at her three-fingered sharp claws.The carapace of the upper body stretched out, and the spines on the outside retracted again.

Suddenly, he waved his claws out of thin air, and there was a crackling sound of the whip.Even just by moving your fingers, you can make a whirring sound.

This is the power that Zerg advanced units should have.

The red light in Agatha's eyes became steady and blazing again.

The master's consciousness also returned to his body.Once again, he turned his attention to the callus in his hand.

Go deep into the "road" But this time, he didn't stay too long, but went deeper.Under the joint effect of psionic energy and consciousness, after a short time, Juggernaut only felt that he was in front of an extremely complicated network.

This is... the genes of the swarm?

The gene arrangement of the Zerg is more messy than the youth imagined.

Because the organs of various units are common, it is not a long chain of genes, this section belongs to springtails, and this section belongs to hydralisks.Instead, it's all mixed together.

The gene for constructing the inflatable shell of the overlord may be connected with the gene for the digging feet of the cockroach; next to the gene for the wings of the broodworm may be the single-molecule scythe gene for controlling the ultralisk... It also contains the genes of various creatures absorbed by the swarm Fragments, and multiple copies of genes due to repeated use...

Moreover, various genes are also cross-influenced.

For example, a gene that promotes egg production may also affect muscle development, and a gene that improves metabolism also controls gastric acid secretion...

Such a complicated and messy gene pool is like a huge "dung mountain". The stable existence of any Zerg unit relies on tens of thousands of genes to restrict and influence each other to achieve a balance... But fortunately, As the master is naturally sensitive to the genes of the swarm, in the eyes of the master, everything seems to be annotated.

In addition, the gene of the creep is really simple.

It didn't take long for the Overlord to wake up a small half of the genes in the callus that belonged to the creep.

This small piece of flesh that originally belonged to Agatha began to proliferate and swell visible to the naked eye, and finally fell off from the master's hand like sticky oil.

pat-

This thing finally landed on the grass at Juggernaut's feet, and began to slowly devour the blades of grass.

At this time, the efficiency of this drop of creep tissue is about 10% of the efficiency of the most basic creep of the Zerg.

"It's enough," Agatha said, "After a dozen generations of division, the creep will activate all the genes on its own."

Even because it is transformed from callus, the creep can have some special functions.

"When will the hatchery be established?"

"According to the program set in the genes, the hatchery will only be developed after the creep coverage is large enough. With your current psionic energy level, even active intervention can only be adjusted in the establishment time of the hatchery, It's very difficult to completely reverse the procedure..."

Under normal circumstances, expansion is the first priority of the creep. In the case of a super-evolved virus assimilating native organisms, prematurely developing a hatchery does not have much benefit except adding a fatal weakness.

Of course, this is also because the youth is too weak at this time, the more powerful the master, the less bound by the original instinct of the Zerg.With the expansion of the creep area and the increase in the size of the Zerg organisms, the young people who are the will of the hive will gradually become stronger.

"Based on your experience, make a comprehensive calculation and give me a valuation." Juggernaut said directly.

Agatha calculated for a moment: "The hatchery can be developed under your command when the creep covers about [-] square kilometers."

"Fourteen thousand square kilometers..."

What is this concept?Let's put it this way, the area of ​​the capital is [-] square kilometers.

The size of a prefecture-level city... Pray that this world will be deserted.

Creep divides continuously. For humans, it takes more than 150 years at the fastest for more than ten generations.But for Creep, it's just minutes.

It's just that during the speech, the creep has completed the correction of its own gene chain, and began to expand outward rapidly.

It was almost visible to the naked eye, the grass leaves that were contaminated with the creep began to dry up and decay rapidly, and their nutrients were quickly transformed into new creep.

Tall trees are even more unbearable. The fibrous drainage tissue will become a natural petri dish for mycelia, and the corrosion from the inside out will cause a tree to collapse within a few hours.

The lush rainforest is an organic ocean to the creep. When everything is dying, the creep expands extremely rapidly, extending outward at a speed of almost one meter per minute.

At this speed, [-] square kilometers is two and a half months.Of course, this is the time it takes for the Overlord not to intervene, to induce creep nodules, spread creep in multiple locations, unlock more efficient creep genes... it will take less time, the information obtained from the will of the nest From the looks of it, the most advanced creep can infect the entire planet within a few days.

While not a major source of organic matter, creep is also photosynthetic.And the efficiency is much higher than that of green plants. Just looking at the almost pitch-black color of the creep, it can absorb almost all wavelengths of light.

Swarms have always been known for adapting to their environment, but they're just as powerful at transforming it.

Human beings can make all the energy in a small artificial ecological environment flow to human beings through planting, animal husbandry, fermentation and other means.

But the Zerg was able to go one step further.With the power of a family, take over all the functions of producers, consumers, and decomposers.A species builds an entire ecosystem...
