Chapter 646: Zerg Era
Phew——

With the sound of water.

A worm with a hideous body but pale and soft skin squeezed out of the hatching pool.

It fell to the ground and used its mouthparts to bite through the membrane on its body.

Then he struggled twice on the ground and stood up, completing his first action since coming into the world.

at the same time.

The pale and soft shell quickly turns into a hard defense when it comes into contact with the air, while nutrients are provided by the fungal carpet underneath.

It only takes a few seconds.

A healthy Zerg individual grows in size, walks on the fungal carpet, and goes along the underground tunnel to its work position.

And with the appearance of this insect.

Lindsay, who was waiting quietly at the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"3000, the 3000th one!"

“Finally, the number is enough!”

The one that just emerged from the hatchery is the 3000th Zerg individual.

Lindsay did not hesitate and immediately controlled the [Zerg Nest] to upgrade.

brush--

A large amount of resources disappeared in an instant.

The [Zerg Nest] hidden underground in the canyon has also begun to enter the upgrade stage of civilization leap.

"This upgrade will also take a day."

After confirming the upgrade information, Lindsay returned to the ground alone.

It was late at night.

The sky of the wasteland world was sparsely covered with clouds, which revealed the brilliant starry night. He looked up and saw a dreamlike fluorescent beauty against the backdrop of the glittering fungus blanket.

"..."

Lindsay silently opened the strategic map.

He used his skills to observe the [Underground Fortress] far in the north of the world.

Just as I expected before leaving.

The Deformers organized several attacks on the [Underground Fortress], but because there was no absolute figure who could unify the forces, these scattered attacks were unable to defeat the expeditionary forces that were united as one.

Now it revolves around the [Underground Fortress].

The workers even extended the road backwards and reinforced the road leading to the Forest City. It was as if they were driving this new city firmly into the depths of the north like a nail!

"Vivian and the others did a great job."

Lindsay nodded gratifiedly.

At this moment, the fungal blanket behind him opened with a swish, and the Lamenter walked out from inside:
"Master Lindsay, the nest is changing again tonight."

"This is the new era upgrade you mentioned before, right?"

The leader of the insect tribe sighed.

In the past few years of his life, everything had been so stable and orderly, without any unnecessary changes or hope.

But then Lindsay showed up.

In just a few months, the [Corruption Poison] that had been plaguing the Zerg people's lifespan was resolved.

And after they have completely pledged their allegiance.

The nest, which had no real feeling, also began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The number of ethnic groups that were originally at risk has steadily increased.

Although the Zerg individuals produced by the Zerg Hive are not intelligent, they can accept any work without fear, even at the cost of their lives.

In addition, facilities such as treatment cabins strengthen the insect people.

After this period of development, the lamenters could only see the benefits they had gained, and their loyalty to Lindsay naturally grew stronger.

Lindsay smiled slightly:
"This upgrade will take a day."

"This time tomorrow, you'll be able to experience your brand new home."

After answering, Lindsay asked casually:
"From your looks, you seem to be feeling pretty good lately, right?"

The lamenter laughed at himself:
"Recently? I've been feeling a bit confused lately."

"In the past, I stuck to my life and maintained a calm and unchanging order. Now a lot of changes are coming, and I am a little overwhelmed."

Lindsay heard the deep emotion of the lamenter and said with a smile:

"I'm asking how you feel?"

"The feeling of prosperity is... quite good." The Lamenter thought seriously, "According to what you humans say, this may be happiness?"

Lindsay chatted with the lamenter for a while. He felt a little weird about being treated with such respect by a bug man.

Wait for the Lamenter to return to his underground lair.

Lindsay stayed where she was, quietly waiting for the subsequent upgrades to the building.

Until the next night.

The civilization upgrade of [Zerg Nest] is completed.

Centered on underground structures.

The fungal mat, which seemed to have vitality, once again entered rapid growth mode.

Their texture becomes thicker, and the vitality reflected when you step on them becomes stronger.

Lindsay sat on the surface and could not see the changes in the buildings underground.

But when he opened the building panel, a series of new buildings emerged.

【Resurrection Pool】

Construction cost: 700 food, 300 high energy gas.

……

Lindsay checked them one by one.

At this stage, the Zerg Hive does not have any food-producing buildings.

Because from this stage on, the Zerg themselves are the strongest resource producers!
They plunder other substances for their own use, and this is how they create resources and grow stronger!

"High-energy gas..."

Then, Lindsay's vision focused on the entry of a building.

——【High Energy Gas Refining Room】

The special resource required for this level of [Zerg Nest] building is high-energy gas.

But because such matter does not exist in this world.

So the building system undergoes corresponding changes and becomes this substance extracted from natural gas.

"In that case, where can we find natural gas?"

"Um!?"

As Lindsay was checking out the building upgrades, his Essence suddenly changed.

Lindsay reacted immediately.

He opened his attribute panel, and sure enough, a new string of text appeared.

[Real-time strategy level: 3→4]
