Civilized Zerg Lord

Chapter 183 The World of Gods
In the endless wasteland, an imperceptible small crack suddenly opened in the space, like a hidden door.

The crack was like a piece of paper cut by a thin knife, stretching under the sky, deep and mysterious.

"呲呲..."

From the crack, a bug the size of a puppy quickly emerged. Its body was dark brown and its surface was covered with fine particles, like a protective shell.

The appearance of the bug caused a breeze in the wilderness, blowing through the grass and taking away the sand and dust, leaving the bug sitting there quietly.

It just stayed there peacefully, as if waiting for something.

At this time, the crack began to shrink rapidly, from being several meters wide at the beginning to gradually shrinking to the size of a puppy.

Then it shrank at an astonishing speed until it became the size of a molecule.

The crack was shrinking at a dizzying speed, as if it had never appeared before.

However, when the crack shrunk to the minimum, it did not disappear completely.

It remains open at an extremely low frequency.

This space rift is the anchor of the Heart of the Void in this world.

It maintains its lowest operating state at a weak frequency.

It should not only expose the location of the insect nest prematurely, but also support the insect swarm network to quickly connect the void and the world.

Moreover, the space pressure in this world is beyond Gu Hao's imagination.

Every time the space rift is expanded, it is like opening a bottomless pit, instantly draining the power of hundreds of nuclear fission hearts to maintain the growth of the space rift.

This world is obviously not an ordinary space.

From the moment when the ruler Gu Hao approached this world community, it can be seen that there is a group of existences in this world that are likely to be at the strategic level or even above the strategic level units.

The power of those who claim to be gods is like huge waves hidden in the deep sea. If they are not careful, they may cause earth-shaking turmoil.

The secrets of this world are deep and mysterious. Gu Hao felt as if he had touched the prologue of a grand story.

In order not to attract the attention of the gods of this world, Gu Hao did not immediately release a large number of insect swarms.

Because if they do that, they need to maintain the Void Heart for a long time, which can easily expose the existence of the Zerg.

The Heart of the Void may not be able to withstand the pressure of such a large island world for a long time.

The Heart of the Void is an anchor connecting the void with this world, and it is also an imperfect product.

It also needs a longer period of evolution to truly adapt to the environment of this world and withstand the strong pressure of this world.

Gu Hao's dominant consciousness controlled dozens of insects and began to explore the surrounding environment.

Dozens of blades were like a pack of wolves, moving quietly, leaving a string of tiny traces covering the barren land.

However, the resources in this land are obviously very scarce.

Gu Hao did not find any traces of living things, which means that the early development of the insect nest will be difficult to complete by plundering the biomass accumulated in the environment.

In this way, the insect nest can only rely on the bacterial carpet in the early stage to absorb solar energy and convert inorganic matter under the ground into biomass.

However, Gu Hao did not rush to release the creep.

The color of the fungus carpet is too conspicuous in this wasteland.

Imagine that in this desolate and silent land, a green carpet spanning dozens of kilometers suddenly appeared.

This will undoubtedly attract the attention of native organisms, thereby increasing the risk of exposure.

Therefore, Gu Hao began to adjust the genes of the carpet and added camouflage cells.

The function of these cells is to allow the creep to disguise itself as a wasteland.

As long as you don't look closely, you won't find that this seemingly barren land is actually covered by a thick carpet of bacteria.

Gu Hao finely adjusted each gene, like an artist carving his own work.

Only perfect camouflage can allow the Zerg to hide in this unknown world.

With the success of genetic debugging, the carpet eggs on the worker bee's arthropods began to change.

Its color gradually became consistent with the surrounding wasteland, and those once striking greens began to fade.

Like a patch in a sleepy land, it blends perfectly into its surroundings.

The worker bees carefully placed the insect eggs on the carpet on the ground. Each egg was like a small seed of life, waiting for the moment to break out of the ground.

"puff!"

Suddenly, the eggs exploded, and an emerald green liquid flowed out of them. They squirmed as if they were alive, and then began to absorb sunlight.

Under the sunlight, the liquid began to slowly grow tentacles, as if they were exploring this new world, and then took root into the soil.

However, Gu Hao, who was deep in the insect nest of the Great Navigation World, changed his expression at this time:
"how is this possible!?"

Through the perception of the fungus carpet, Gu Hao actually sensed the unimaginable poverty in the soil.

Gu Hao discovered that a large number of important inorganic substances in the soil are extremely rare, and the rest are elements that are extremely difficult to transform.

"This land is cleaner than a dog has ever licked it."

In fact, organic matter is relatively easy to deal with. After all, there is endless carbon dioxide in the air.

The fungus blanket itself can fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis to complete the production of organic matter.

But the insect swarm needs more than just organic matter. The stinging insect attack alone requires a lot of compounds.

Fortunately, the Zerg creep function is still very powerful.

The fungus carpet began to penetrate the mycelium deeper into the ground, and finally found traces of some elements.

However, in this case, not only the carpet maintenance efficiency will be increased, but the transformation efficiency will also be low, which will cause the early accumulation of insect swarms to be slower.
If it were in a world of great navigation, Gu Hao wouldn't care whether the resources were poor or not.

Because the carpet covering thousands of miles has no shortage of energy.

No matter how poor the resources are, you only need to spend more energy to convert those complex compounds into the resources you need.

It's a pity that the new world does not have a steady stream of energy for Gu Hao to squander.

At least not until the early stage of biomass accumulation is completed!
Although this land is barren, it may be an insurmountable challenge for other civilizations.

But for the Zerg, it's just a slower development.

The worker bees began to dig into the ground. They were like a group of hard-working miners, using their sharp mouthparts to carve out traces on the earth.

They dug hard and gradually dug a tunnel.

In this tunnel, worker bees place tiny female insects on top of the fungus carpet.

After a period of adaptation and evolution, the female worm is no longer the original female worm.

After the female worm is placed on the bacteria carpet, the flesh and blood on her body is closely connected with the bacteria carpet, absorbing the organic matter provided by the bacteria carpet to grow.

The appearance of the female worm gradually blurred, the body became bloated, and finally turned into a ball of flesh less than one meter long.

This meat ball is a living structure: the prototype of a mother's nest, specially used to produce various insect eggs.

The worker bees continue to dig, not only expanding the space around the mother nest, but also making the tunnel gradually become larger and larger.

A few days passed, and the tunnel had formed a small underground space, enough to accommodate more insect swarms.

The mother nest is already several meters in size, nurturing the future of the insect swarm.

In this underground space, the mother nests can already produce a small amount of insect eggs.

These eggs gradually grow under the nourishment of worker bees.

The worker bees are busy carrying the eggs and placing them in suitable locations in the nest, waiting for them to hatch into new swarms.

The size of this underground world continues to expand, and the number of insect swarms is gradually increasing.After several weeks of development, the number of stinging insects and sharp blades has reached a hundred.

This is mainly because the insect nest currently mainly produces worker bees, and there is not much need for defense power.

Therefore, the stinging insects and blades produced were sent out for reconnaissance.

Gu Hao observed the wasteland through the perspective of the insect swarm.

From the perspective of the master's consciousness, Gu Hao could feel the desolation and silence of the wasteland.

He saw the outline of the mountains in the distance, as well as a few sparse branches of dead grass.

Gu Hao could hear the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, and he could also feel the hardness and coldness of the land.

Through the perspective of these stinging insects and sharp blades, Gu Hao also observed that there were biological activities in the wasteland.

He saw several small creatures feeding in the distance, and also saw birds soaring in the sky.

"It seems like this area is not empty."

"Hmm...what's the sound?"

Suddenly, Gu Hao heard movement in the distance.

He immediately realized that this might be a threat, so he quickly controlled the insect swarm to gather where there was movement.

Gu Hao's control is very fast, and he can accurately perceive distant movements by using the sharp-edged hearing system.

The insect swarm moved quickly and began to gather in the direction of the sound.

Through the perspective of a stinging insect, Gu Hao saw what was happening in the distance.

He was surprised to find four people running wildly on the wasteland.

On the other side, there seemed to be an overturned carriage.

There was agitation under the ground, and something seemed to be chasing the running people.

Four people were running on the wasteland, their footsteps echoing in the silent wasteland.

One of the older men saw that something underground was about to catch up with a few people, and he looked extremely desperate.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a sandworm-like creature emerged from the ground.

Its body was as thick as a bucket, with a sharp mouth, and it knocked the man down.

The creature moved so quickly that the man was torn apart by it before he could struggle.

The scene terrified several others, who ran as fast as they could to escape the terrifying creature.

However, it quickly caught up, grabbed one of them, and tore them apart in the same way.

The other two ran even harder when they saw this, but they were exhausted and could no longer escape the monster's pursuit.

Eventually, the creature wounded them one by one and knocked them down.

The sandworm emerged from the ground and was preparing to feast.

Suddenly, Sandworm noticed some dangerous aura around him.

It turned around and saw a group of sharp blades surrounding it.

A flash of anger flashed in Sandworm's eyes.

In this wilderness, it has always hunted other creatures as a hunter.

Now that it is being targeted by these little bugs, it feels very dissatisfied.

The sandworm roared loudly, and the ground around its body suddenly shook, trying to scare the sharp blades away in this way.

However, the sharp blades were not intimidated, and they still moved towards the sandworms with determination.

Seeing this, the sandworm knew not to let these little bugs get closer.

It quickly rushed towards the sharp blades, trying to repel them with great force.

However, the sharp blades were not afraid. They divided into two groups, one part continued to surround the sandworm, and the other part began to rush directly towards the sandworm.

The sharp blades have already undergone dozens of evolutionary transformations by brainworms, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

Despite their small size, Blades possess sharp blades and powerful muscles capable of inflicting serious damage.

Unfortunately, the sandworm underestimated the strength of the sharp blade. It opened its big mouth and pounced towards the provocative sharp blade.

In an instant, the sandworm's body was covered with hideous wounds.

The attacks of the sharp blades were precise and rapid, and the sandworms had lost the power of their attacks in a short period of time.

Realizing that its life was threatened, it quickly burrowed into the ground.

Looking at the raised ground, Gu Hao was very curious about the sandworm's ability to shuttle across the ground so quickly.

This creature must have unique genes to survive in this wasteland.

The sandworms began to escape, but it was too late.

It has been surrounded by a swarm of insects and cannot escape.

The stinging worm shoots a sharp bone spur, which burrows directly into the ground and pierces the sandworm's body.

The sandworm was tortured by the severe pain and roared. It tried to struggle, but the wound had been torn open tightly by the bone spurs.

The sandworm crawled out of the ground in pain, hoping to break free of the bone spurs on its body.

However, before it had time to react, it was quickly surrounded by sharp blades that followed closely behind.

In less than a minute, the sandworm stopped struggling and was divided into several pieces by the sharp blade and carried back to the insect nest.

Gu Hao controlled the stinging insect to approach the four people who had just been attacked, and found that the three people had died from excessive blood loss.

Their brains could no longer survive for a few minutes before they died, and Gu Hao could no longer extract any useful memories from them.

However, there was still one man who was not dead, and the swarm quickly transported him back to the Gray Worm Nest.

I hope I can extract some useful information from him.

After returning to the insect nest, Gu Hao began to study the survivor carefully.

Gu Hao found that this man's body was very weak, but his brain was still functioning.

The mother nest began to lay an insect egg the size of a grain of rice.

The sharp blade carefully placed the eggs into the man's wound.

The eggs quickly absorb the blood, then transfer into the body and begin to burrow toward the brain.

The process was so quick that the man didn't even feel anything strange.

This brain cell-eating bug quickly absorbed the man's brain cells and extracted his memories.

Through these memories, Gu Hao began to understand this man's past and present.

From the man's memory, Gu Hao learned that this world was called Bode.

However, this man was just an ordinary person, and the information Gu Hao obtained was limited.

This wasteland is called Miller's Wasteland, and in legend it is a place abandoned by God.

The man was an explorer. He and his team went to explore Miller Wilderness, but they were accidentally attacked by sandworms.

"The world dominated by gods...is interesting." Gu Hao became more and more interested in this world.

What kind of creatures are these gods that are powerful enough to call themselves gods?
