Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 9 The Extraordinary Power That Represents Vitality

"Dig more traps." The master immediately ordered.The combination of manholes and creep works better than expected.

"I will arrange it." Agatha replied, the creep itself can also dig holes, although it is not as good as any Zerg ground unit, but it is still much more efficient than the infected mice.

Merely eroding the roots of a tree to create a hollow is enough to act as a trap.

"Dig emergency tunnels to facilitate evacuation if necessary."

"Your will."

"Our combat power..." The master wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the state of the bound root vine monster was not right.

Its self-healing ability has experienced a cliff-like decline, and its psionic energy level is also declining.

Finally running out of power?
Do not……

The master looked up to the sky.

The moon has left its highest position.

"Reduce the corrosiveness of the creep," ordered the Overmind, "to keep it alive till dawn."

He wants to determine the relationship between the monster and the moon...

…………

Just as the master guessed, the monster's self-healing power gradually weakened as the moonlight faded.

"Tomorrow, leave some tree roots in a suitable place to experiment with the relationship between monsters and moon phases."

Thinking that the birth of the root vine monster seems to be related to the dead trees, the master ordered again: "When the creeps devour the trees, they will be devoured together with the roots, and when the night comes, try to stop devouring the trees..."

The master's order stopped.

No, it's hard to do.

Creep is not a sentient unit and cannot handle overly complex commands.

It may be able to distinguish the difference between animals and plants, but let it specifically distinguish the difference between herbs and trees, and then stop devouring at regular intervals... This is a bit too complicated and requires Agatha's manual operation.

But with the expansion of creep coverage, too many trees will be covered at the same time, and it will eventually be exhausted.

"If there are enough creep nodules, it's not impossible." Agatha suggested.

That is to allow the creep to differentiate into nodules of nerve tissue and secretory tissue, as nodes to control the creep.

"No." The master shook his head after thinking, "This is not a long-term solution after all. In the final analysis, our troops are still insufficient."

If this is a world with only beasts, the infected units and Agatha's protection are enough to run amok.But if this is a world that "spawns monsters" at night, these are not enough.

"Is there any way to increase combat units?"

Agatha raised her hands and lightly pointed her sharp claws. After thinking for a while, she replied, "Alienated combat body."

A stage reached after a host has become deeply infected by a Zerg virus.

At that time, a series of Zerg organs will be born on the body of the infected unit.For example, extra limbs for attacking, hormone glands for maintaining attacking type, compression sacs for self-explosion...

Only hyper-evolved viruses and creeps make it difficult for infected units to reach this stage, requiring the debugging of infestors, scorpions, phages, or other infected units.

"We have to get out the poisonous phage first." The master said to himself.

Phages are not in the hatchery system.

As a building unit infected by the helper virus, it will be produced after the creep is covered to a certain extent, but the phages differentiated from the creep are far inferior to the poisonous phagocytosis after the alienation of worker bees in terms of building strength and functionality. body.

"About a week later, you will be able to meet the minimum standard for building a poisonous body." Agatha added, "But Master, you also have the ability to create alienated combat bodies."

"Me?" The master was taken aback, and then suddenly realized.

Creep can provide nourishment to infected units and force them to survive. He can modify the genes of Zerg units. In theory, his ability is more advanced than that of infected people and phages.

Thinking of this, the ruler stretched out his hand, and a squirrel came out of a hole not far away and crawled onto his hand.

But don't wait for him to link.

Suddenly, a dazzling green light burst out not far away.

Juggernaut and Agatha are on alert at the same time—the psionic energy level of the root vine monster has risen!

The corroded pitted root vine monster broke through all the restraints and stood up again.

But it did not attack immediately.

Instead, he stared blankly at the eastern sky.A round of morning sun has risen from the horizon, and the first ray of sunlight pierces the night sky.

And the yellow-green radiance around the root vine monster quickly turned into a delicate emerald green after exposure to sunlight.

The majestic vitality burst out from the monster's body.

The monster's feet landed on the ground, and immediately spread out and turned into thick roots, piercing through the thick creep, and piercing deeply into the soil.Numerous buds sprouted from the top of the monster's head and shoulders, becoming lush and leafy as they continued to expand.

The rushing green seems to have a strange magic power.Agatha, the master, and the squirrel in his hand were all attracted by the thriving scene.

When he came back to his senses, a huge tree more than two meters thick and composed of countless thick roots and vines appeared in front of the Juggernaut.

At the lower end of the tree trunk, there is a herringbone-shaped cavity more than one meter wide, and a tree root the size of a human head, wriggling like a heart, hangs in the center of the tree hole.

The green glow keeps emerging with the rhythm of the tree root ball.

Wherever the light reaches, the biological activity of the creep has been greatly improved.

"I sense level four psionic energy." Agatha's warning came from beside her ear.

"I feel it too." Master nodded.In addition to rejuvenating, this tree is constantly exuding a peaceful and natural mood, which makes people want to give up everything to water, fertilize, pollinate, loosen the soil, and then embrace nature, in a sea of ​​green run free...

So, in this forest, as long as you cut down a tree, there will be villains jumping out to scratch you at night, if you can't beat you, they will whisper in your ears the next day, and your mind will control you...

This series of mechanisms is really chilling.

"Is it also a psionic body?" The master pointed to the tree and looked at Agatha.

"No."

The main body of the root vine monster is a yellow-green rotator, and the vine root is just a carrier.Now it is reversed, the tree is the body, and the ability similar to mind broadcasting is an additional power.

"Infect it." Master said directly.It is good to have a tree hole, if it rains, there is also a place to hide.

Although it can be sensed by Agatha's psionic receptors, the master knows that the extraordinary power possessed by the root vine monster and this tree is not psionic energy.

Although Juggernaut has not been in contact with psionic energy for a long time, he also knows that psionic energy is a force that tends to the mind and space, and does not have such a big increase in self-healing speed and biological activity.Even cockroaches among the Zerg have very few elite individuals with the level of self-healing ability of the root vine monster.

But after all, it is extraordinary power, and the psionic energy rating probably fits.

In the case of the direct connection of the creeper, the fourth-level psionic energy has no way to prevent the invasion of the Zerg virus from the cellular level.The same goes for the otherworldly power of this green, and it is not difficult to infect the tree.Instead, the real pressure is to dominate here - the psionic possessor will resist the control of the will of the hive.

Therefore, after the master faintly felt that the opponent's body fell into his control, he immediately entered the "road" and tried to pull him into the will of the hive.

Then, a scene that shocked Juggernaut incomparably happened.

The strange tree joined the will of the insect nest very smoothly, and its smoothness was like a pair of adulterers and prostitutes who frequently cheated on each other. I just left the door here, and the other party got into the bed very simply.

Then the next moment.

In Agatha's psionic senses, the level of this strange-looking tree grew wildly, breaking through the standard of level five and only one line away from reaching level six.The green light emitted by the root vines in the tree hole covers hundreds of meters.

Juggernaut seems to hear a ding: creep efficiency is increased by 20%, and Zerg unit recovery speed is increased by 40%.

what's going on?
