Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 43 Distorted Nodules
The creep blanket covered the Spider Mother's body layer by layer, but it didn't mean to kill her at all.

This is a spider that can mass-produce monsters, so it would be a waste to just kill it.

The master intends to erase its ability to act, suppress its nerve activity, and maximize its fertility.Let it become a living "building", continuously producing alienated combat bodies and even further modified spider units for the swarm.

Of course, the spider mother is an epic species, but not the epic species of the giant dragon.Its race does not have the talent to become an epic as an adult. It is a very small number of individuals in the group, so the master does not intend to incorporate the "demonized spider" species into the Zerg gene chain, turning it into a real Zerg unit.

Unless another epic spider mother is caught, the master will not build a second "spider nest".

The battle has basically come to an end, and the other secondary spider mothers have been eliminated one by one; the surviving giant spiders have been infected; the bottom of the shaft and the rock wall that spread upwards for more than [-] meters have been covered by creep; There were no more springtails descending from the air, they climbed to the entrances of the caves connected to the shafts, and were responsible for resisting and infecting the returning spiders.

However, the various swarm units are still busy.

They gathered the bodies of those who died on the battlefield and piled them all in one corner at the bottom of the shaft.

The corpses are mainly infected small spiders. Some fell from a high altitude after the spider web spiral ladder collapsed and fell to death; when there were jumping insects airborne, they were unable to dodge and were trampled to death; more spider mothers and several secondary spider mothers were besieged and struggling When it was spread to death...

Although they were all accidental injuries, considering the density of small spiders in the spider's nest, the number of corpses was so high that it could almost cover two layers in the shaft area.

Under the master's order, the creeper didn't immediately decompose or resurrect these corpses that still had some biological activity.It's just covering the top of the corpse hastily, and it keeps getting thicker.

Then, I saw strips of mycelium tangled together like earth dragons, rolling from a high place all the way down.

Finally, it stopped next to the pile of corpses in the shaft, forming an irregular tumor the size of a van with a smooth surface.

This is the "skill" that Agatha has mastered: hatching creep tumors.

The difference from normal creep nodules is that Agatha's psionic energy participates in the entire process of tumor development—yes, creep tumors are essentially the elite units of creep, and they are the only one in the swarm that does not An elite unit that requires the catalysis of matter that naturally contains void energy to be produced.

Like dragon dogs, creep tumors also have the ability to consume psionic energy to increase the activity of surrounding creeps.

In addition, the tumbling hyphae just now brought a lot of nutrients.

Almost visible to the naked eye, the creeps on the pile of corpses began to thicken, and began to differentiate into bast and bone armor.With the blessing of psionic energy, the thickness is almost at the hatchery level.

At the same time, the familiar psionic reaction began to gradually increase, and the pile of corpses began to increase and swell like dough.

In the end, a group of super-large multi-legged monsters with seven-level soul strength and a body size comparable to that of a spider mother were formed.

But it was bound in its inception.The carapace and thick skin derived from the creep are fixed on its body like iron flails.

With the blessing of the creep tumor, it was completely suppressed.

Since then, the battle has come to an end.

Hundreds of worker bees slowly floated down from the shaft, and under the command of the king worm, they scattered and went to various places.

Most of the worker bees floated away from the rock wall of the shaft, and began to dig and corrode to widen the space, and dug out the plank road to facilitate up and down passage.

A worker bee floated to the center of the bottom of the shaft, alienated into a sac and began to develop towards the hatchery.From here on out, the Swarm's focus will shift underground.

A worker bee floated to the position of the spider mother, and hatched the split pool with the spider mother as the center, so as to facilitate the transformation of the spider mother.

Another worker bee floated above the myriad.Start to develop in the direction of "extraction room".

Yes, Juggernaut looked at the declining organic matter reserves, and finally extended his claws to these monsters who don't care about energy conservation.

In this different world, there are no vents that continuously erupt high-energy gas, but there are high-quality "mineral deposits" that can continuously produce flesh and blood.The gene chain space occupied by the extraction room is not wasted.

In fact, for the swarm, it is not that minerals with higher energy content are more high-quality resources.

Just look at the floating sacs of the worker bees. Zerg organs can easily create an energy field that interferes with gravity, and it is not difficult to create a magnetic confinement field. Nuclear fusion is not difficult for the Zerg.In the depths of the Zerg gene chain, there is even a black technology of cold nuclear fusion energy release at the cellular level.

Therefore, the swarm has no shortage of energy, and the only thing that restricts the expansion of the swarm is material raw materials and basic production capacity.

For the Zerg Swarm, the best resources are various organic matter such as flesh, vegetation, etc., which contain all the main elements needed by the Zerg to build their bodies, and can be directly converted into Zerg units.High-energy gas is also listed here, and its main components are hydrocarbons, which are almost equivalent to organic matter.

Followed by crystal ore, this magical mineral contains almost all common elements, and they are all in a relatively active state and easy to extract.Zerg can ingest carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other biological main elements to build organisms; humans and protoss can extract iron, cobalt, titanium and other metal elements from it to build spacecraft shells.

Finally, it starts from the inorganic environment, extracts the necessary elements from carbon dioxide, rock formations, mineral deposits, water and other substances, and synthesizes organic matter.Raw materials come from a wide variety of sources, and almost anywhere there is a stone, there is everything a swarm needs.But the efficiency is the lowest, and a large area of ​​creep is needed as the basic factory for synthesizing organic matter-the swarm can indeed eat rocks to grow flesh, but if you want to maintain high-speed expansion by eating rocks, forget it.

The organic matter produced by just such a "twisted nodule" that combines soul-distorted monsters, creeps, and extraction rooms can be compared to the basic production capacity of ten dragon and lion collars.This is also the confidence that Juggernaut can put the focus of development in the relatively narrow maze.

It's just a pity that myriads can only be transformed from corpses with souls in specific areas, they cannot reproduce autonomously, and there is no such thing as independent genes. "Twisted nodules" can only be established through battlefield slaughter or captive slaughter, and cannot be directly hatched by worker bees.

Anyway, with such an extra organic input, the evolution cavity can finally be opened (*｀▽*).

The transformation of the spider mother has to wait until the completion of the underground split pool.

The master's consciousness returned to the body next to the entrance of the cave, and he turned his head to look at the side of the throne. It was obviously just built, but because of the establishment of the underground hatchery, it lost its status as the "creep core".

Just right, you can use these few days to test an idea.

The master stretched out his hand and flicked the venomous phage reservoir.

The heart tree is transformed from the most active tree in a vigorous area.

If I insert a large number of tree genes into a Zerg building to make its carapace lignify... can it give birth to a "heart tree" that is essentially a Zerg building?
