Chapter 12 Hatching the Nest

July 21, 2056, 6 a.m.

Qin Mu had a delicious breakfast in the canteen of the supply base. The food in the warrior supply base was really delicious.

After eating, I found many people looking at me strangely.

Although it was still early, there were still many people eating.

As warriors, most people are very diligent and self-disciplined.

Thanks to the strong physical fitness of the warriors and the fact that those people did not avoid him too deliberately, Qin Mu easily heard their discussion.

"That would-be warrior who wants to go to the wilderness area alone is him, right? His name seems to be Qin Mu?"

A fierce warrior with scars on his face looked at Qin Mu curiously and chatted with his teammates beside him.

"He's just a kid who doesn't know how high the sky is. I bet he'll die outside within a day of leaving the city."

A lean warrior with a long sword hanging from his waist curled his lips in disdain.

"I don't think so! Maybe, as soon as he went into the wilderness and found a monster, he was frightened and ran away."

Some people shook their heads.

"I heard that the Blood Wolf Team is making a bet in the camp. As long as he dares to go out, he won't be able to come back!"

Qin Mu listened to their discussion with a smile on his face, walked up to the scar-faced warrior, and said to him:

"Brother, can you help me?"

The scar-faced warrior saw Qin Mu approaching and subconsciously became vigilant, touching his lower back.

Although it is strictly forbidden to use hands in the supply base, a young man who dares to go to the wilderness alone may not be able to control himself.

"Brother, I'm in a hurry to get out of the city. How about betting this ten thousand yuan for me on whether I can stay in the wilderness area for at least 5 days and come back alive?"

Qin Mu didn't do anything. Instead, he took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table with a smile.

The scar-faced warrior was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, a look of appreciation appeared on his face and he extended his thumb.

"Brother, you have the guts! If you can come back alive, would you like to join our Barbarian Bull Team? Our captain is a warrior at the level of a general."

"Then we'll have to wait until I come back! Hahaha"

Qin Mu, who had been wild for a while, walked out without looking back.

Under normal circumstances, just becoming a quasi-warrior and running recklessly into the wilderness alone is no different from committing suicide.

"But with the Zerg clone, I shouldn't be considered an ordinary person, right?"

A smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips.

At the entrance of the camp, Qin Mu sat in the driver's seat of the off-road pickup truck, started the engine, and the off-road pickup truck roared and rushed into the wilderness without looking back.

Along the highway, the pickup truck sped along.

Although it is a highway, the road surface is in disrepair and is in tatters everywhere, making it not easy to walk on.

Broken vehicles can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and there are even countless black blood stains.

After leaving the base for more than ten miles, Qin Mu sensed the soul link in his mind and ordered.

"Worker bugs, hatch!"

In the compartment of the off-road pickup truck, the worker bugs immediately burst out of their eggs after receiving the order and crawled in the compartment.

With the support of a worker insect whose strength is equivalent to that of a junior beast soldier, Qin Mu's safety will be greatly improved.

After driving for about twenty or thirty miles, Qin Mu saw traces of monsters from time to time, and the sounds of various insects, birds, and beasts came from time to time.

Qin Mu also became nervous.

Fortunately, there was no monster attack.

After driving more than fifty miles, Qin Mu drove off the highway according to the map and drove along a path towards the villa area.

This section of the road was difficult to walk, so Qin Mu drove very slowly.

From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard in the jungles on both sides of the road, making Qin Mu extremely nervous.

Several times, the off-road pickup truck got stuck.

Fortunately, Qin Mu had already considered this and directly ordered the workers to get out of the carriage and push the cart.

Although the worker insect is not big in size, it is extremely powerful and can easily lift things dozens of times its own weight. In addition, the off-road pickup truck Qin Mu chose is not heavy, so the worker insect can also lift it easily.

After a lot of twists and turns, Qin Mu finally approached his destination without any danger.

That is the planned villa area.

This villa area is very large, with hundreds of single-family villas and supporting living facilities, each covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. Unfortunately, most of these villas have now collapsed and are covered with weeds and vines.

One mile away from the villa area, the off-road pickup truck stopped.

The workers got out of the car to be alert. After confirming that there was no danger, Qin Mu opened the door and walked out.

The place where Qin Mu stopped was in a good location. The terrain was relatively high, and he could easily overlook the entire villa complex.

Taking out a telescope, Qin Mu began to observe carefully.

"There's a monster!"

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at the ruins of the villa.

A canine monster about one meter tall at the shoulders, with spots on its body and a streamlined body was walking through the ruins.

"Tiger Mastiff, judging by its size, it looks like a junior beast soldier."

"More than one!"

In the field of vision of the telescope, Qin Mu was shocked.

There was more than one tiger mastiff. Qin Mu saw seven or eight tiger mastiffs within his sight range.

In addition to tiger mastiffs, Qin Mu soon discovered more monsters. A group of pig-like monsters with hair like thorns all over their bodies and a pair of huge fangs gathered together and looked for food in the ruins.

"It's an iron-haired wild boar!"

After a careful search, Qin Mu found that there were at least hundreds of monsters in the villa area. In addition to tiger mastiffs and iron-haired wild boars, there were also traces of shadow cats.

"This villa area is too dangerous, so we have to change our plans."

Qin Mu calmly analyzed it carefully.

At first, Qin Mu considered that there would be no shelter in the wild. The nest would be easily discovered by monsters and human satellites, so he considered using human buildings to block it.

But they ignored a very serious problem, that is, there are too many monsters in densely built places like villa areas.

In the long-term battle with humans, monsters slowly moved from empty and desolate areas to human-built areas with various obstructions.

Because in the wilderness, it is too easy to be remotely targeted and killed by human thermal weapons.

Especially since this place is relatively close to the military area, almost all the ferocious beasts wandering outside have been killed by the military area patrols.

At present, the environment of this villa area is complex and there are many monsters. If you want to sneak in directly and hatch the nest in the villa area, it is almost impossible.

As a newcomer who has never entered the wilderness, even if he sneaks in, it is too dangerous to find a suitable place for the mother's nest to hatch in a completely unfamiliar environment.

There are so many monsters hiding in the dark corners of the villa area. If you go in carelessly, you are really looking for death.

Moreover, even if he sneaked in alone, the various thermal weapons on the car would be completely useless.

"Without entering the wilderness, a plan based solely on some information on the HR Alliance platform is still too crude."

After understanding the key to the matter, Qin Mu decisively gave up the idea of ​​entering the villa area and began to look for a suitable place to build a nest around.

The villa area is located in a mountainous and hilly area with a relatively complex environment. It has not been taken care of for decades, with trees and vines everywhere.

Soon, Qin Mu locked his eyes on a place, which was in a dense forest next to the road.

Tall trees can block the view in the sky, making it difficult to be spotted by flying beasts in the sky. As long as you make some camouflage, no one will pay attention to this place until there is no big noise.

Anyway, this mother nest is only used excessively, and it will definitely need to be relocated when the insect colony develops.

"Workers, open the way! Enter the jungle and hatch the brood!"

Qin Mu gave the order decisively.

At the same time, move out a box of mines and prepare to set traps in the surrounding area.

After receiving the order, the workers entered the jungle and walked nimbly through it, followed closely by the heavily armed Qin Mu.

"Click"

The worker insect opening the way in front suddenly swung his big claw and caught a black creature.

"Sisi"

Qin Mu took a closer look and saw that it was a venomous snake nearly one meter long. It was completely black and had a triangular head. It was extremely venomous at first glance!

"so close!"

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Qin Mu's forehead. This venomous snake was well hidden. If the workers hadn't opened the way in front of it, he would have probably stepped on it.

After a few dozen meters in depth, the worker insect stopped, carefully searched its surroundings, and after confirming that there was no danger, lay down on the ground.

Then the body of the worker insect quickly turned into a huge meat bag, beating like a heart.

The meat bag grows at an extremely fast speed. Every time it beats, the size will grow a circle. At the same time, a purple carpet spreads around like running water. It feels like encountering some flowers, plants, small insects, etc. It is digested like concentrated sulfuric acid.

This worker insect is mutating towards the mother nest!
