Chapter 2 Zerg Larvae

If you want to become a warrior, you must first take the quasi-warrior assessment.

Qin Mu, who is familiar with the plot and has accepted all the original memories, knows this very well.

As a member of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, you can take the quasi-warrior assessment on the first day of every month, but to become a real warrior, you need to pass more than just the quasi-warrior assessment.

You also need to take a practical assessment. Only after passing the practical assessment can you truly become a warrior.

There are only two practical assessments for quasi-warriors a year, on August 1 and February 1.

It is already June 16, which means that if you can't become a quasi-warrior before July 1. You will inevitably miss the assessment on August 1, and you will have to wait until February next year to become a warrior.

This is unacceptable to Qin Mu.

It will take only three and a half years for the golden-horned beast to attack the New York State base in the United States.

How could Qin Mu accept wasting half a year?

Although he has the Zerg larvae clone, Qin Mu theoretically doesn't need to consider the warrior assessment, and just waits for the Zerg to become stronger.

Under normal circumstances, as long as there are sufficient resources, a larva can develop into a swarm in a very short time.

Because each larva contains all the genes of the entire swarm, and can hatch various Zerg units as needed.

But in fact, Qin Mu learned from the broken memory of the larva. During the long sleep, almost all the Zerg unit genes were lost in its gene bank.

In the current gene bank, only one kind of worker insect similar to a giant worker ant is retained, and this worker insect can only hatch into the lowest level Zerg mother nest.

This means that the development of the swarm must rely on its own plundering genes, analysis, and then evolution.

This not only takes time, but also requires an environment suitable for the growth of the swarm.

The Yangzhou City where he is now is definitely not in line with the conditions.

Only the wilderness area can meet the environment for the growth of the Zerg, but the wilderness area is full of monsters, and it is not an area that ordinary people can easily set foot in.

The problem is back to the starting point. If he wants to develop the swarm, Qin Mu must first become a warrior, or at least a quasi-warrior, because only quasi-warriors can legally and reasonably enter the wilderness area.

Retracting his thoughts, becoming a warrior is not something that can be done in a hurry. What he has to do now is to feed the Zerg larvae that have been hungry for who knows how long.

After searching at home, Qin Mu finally found a few pieces of frozen meat that had been in the refrigerator for who knows how long.

Qin Mu took out the frozen meat and put it in front of the Zerg larvae.

The larvae, which had been hungry for a long time and was almost going crazy, found the food and immediately opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, easily bit the frozen meat and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

While the larvae were eating, Qin Mu looked carefully at this familiar yet strange home and looked for other food.

This is a small house with two bedrooms and one living room on the 18th floor.

One of the two rooms is his bedroom, and the other is his parents' bedroom.

The original owner of his parents' room had never been willing to clean it up, and it still kept the way it was when they were there.

Push open the door and enter his parents' room.

There is a double bed in the middle of the room, and a wardrobe on the left, which is full of various clothes.

There is a family photo on the bedside table, a desk on the right, and a bookshelf on the side.

The bookshelf was full of books, most of which were about biology, genes, monsters, etc.

These books were left by his mother, who was a military researcher.

Qin Mu walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, flipped through it, and found that he couldn't understand it, so he put it back.

The furnishings in the living room were simple, with only a TV, a sofa, and a coffee table.

After searching around, he didn't find any food for the Zerg larvae.

While Qin Mu was looking for food, the Zerg larvae had already eaten most of the frozen meat that was larger than its body.

In Qin Mu's perception, after those foods entered its body, they disappeared in the blink of an eye under its terrible digestive ability.

After swallowing a large amount of food, with the larvae's stomach as the center, a trace of warmth permeated the larvae's body.

Under Qin Mu's eyes, the larvae's shriveled body grew a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the larvae revived, Qin Mu felt that there seemed to be a trace of warmth in his body, but it was too weak.

"The strength seems to have increased a little, and the hidden injuries in the body are also a little better."

Qin Mu clenched his fists and felt the changes in his body.

"There is no food left."

"The energy converted from this little food is not enough for the larvae to recover their normal bodies, let alone hatch into worker insects."

The original body did not have the habit of storing food, so Qin Mu could only find a way by himself.

He turned on the phone, entered the password according to his memory, and operated it for a while.

This phone is more advanced than the previous life, but not much more advanced. Qin Mu quickly understood the rules.

He opened the bank app, which showed a balance of 523,586.23 yuan.

"Fortunately, there is still a lot of money."

This money is the savings of his parents, pensions, and monthly government subsidies.

As a descendant of a martyr, the government subsidy is 3,000 yuan per month, which will be paid until the age of 18.

In order to become a warrior, the original body has spent a lot of money over the years. After being injured, he spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to treat his body.

The remaining money will be enough for a long time if he lies down.

But Qin Mu obviously did not have this idea.

In his previous life, Qin Mu was mediocre enough. In this life, he thought about changing his way of life.

He looked at the time.

"It's not even nine o'clock yet, let's go buy something."

Qin Mu remembered that there was a vegetable market not far downstairs, with many meat shops inside.

Pork, chicken, duck, and even monster meat were all available, but monster meat was much more expensive than ordinary meat.

Zerg larvae are not carnivores. On the contrary, they eat almost everything. In extreme cases, they can survive even by eating soil.

However, the most suitable thing for them is the flesh and blood of living things.

Qin Mu put the Zerg larvae into the pocket inside his clothes, packed up a little, and went out directly.

The community where Qin Mu lived was a resettlement area for military families, and the public security conditions were very good.

Took the elevator down the 18th floor and shuttled through the narrow alleys.

In this era, except for some areas, the efficiency of most land use is almost close to the limit.

Every residential building is like a huge square concrete pillar, even the military resettlement area.

After walking through several alleys in a row, Qin Mu finally came to a narrow street.

It was already night, and the street lights were turned on. Many people had just got off work, and people were coming and going on the street.

The smell of snacks from the roadside stalls wafted, attracting customers passing by.

Some people shouted loudly, some called friends, and it was lively without any sense of the end of the world.

If Qin Mu hadn't seen the strange menus written on the menus of some stalls in front, he would have thought that he was still in the snack street of the urban village in his previous life.

"One-horned wild boar pork belly grilled skewers"

"Tiger mastiff stewed in casserole"

"Long-horned sheep grilled skewers"

...

Ignoring these, Qin Mu walked quickly to his destination, the vegetable market at the other end of the street.

Because it was night, there was not much meat on several meat stalls, and some stalls had already closed.

Qin Mu bought all the meat from several stalls in the surprised eyes of the stall owners.

More than 60 kilograms of ordinary pork and 50 kilograms of one-horned wild boar meat.

Ordinary pork is okay, more than ten yuan per kilogram.

Ferocious beast meat is different. Even the cheapest H-level monster one-horned wild boar meat costs more than 100 yuan per kilogram.

Qin Mu spent more than 7,000 yuan for such a small amount of meat, which is almost two months' salary for an ordinary worker.

The reason why he bought monster meat was that Qin Mu wanted to know whether there was any difference between the larvae devouring ordinary pork and monster meat.

Carrying 100 kilograms of meat, Qin Mu returned to his home.

This is because Qin Mu's physical fitness is strong now. In his previous life, he would have been exhausted carrying such a heavy thing.

Putting all the meat in the living room, Qin Mu put the larva in the middle of the meat.

With a thought, the larva's body devoured the meat frantically, and pieces of meat much larger than its body disappeared in its mouth, as if it was a bottomless pit.

Its body also grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a weak warm current also flowed through Qin Mu's body.
