Chapter 12 Larva x Scout
At night, Xia Jieren lay in bed, leisurely waiting for the scout to hatch.
Ever since he encountered the gray wolf, he has been worried about being attacked by the wolf pack.
However, a day passed and there was no news.
This made Xia Jieren a little worried, and he was eager to get relevant information about the wolf pack.
"Congratulations, Master, the [Larva] template has been successfully unlocked."
Kerrigan's abrupt voice sounded in Xia Jieren's ears.
Originally, after hearing Kerrigan's congratulations, Xia Jieren thought that the deduction of the [Scout] template had been completed.
But in the next second, his face suddenly froze, "What? Larva, isn't it a scout?"
So, I hurriedly opened my data panel to check the information of the latest template.
[Army Type: Larva]
[Speed: 3km/h]
【Energy: 20】
[Introduction: The body can wriggle like a maggot, and the mouthparts have a large number of tendrils that can absorb nutrients from the fungal carpet and the surface. The body can carry the genes of all types of soldiers and can quickly hatch into the required type of soldiers. ]
"Uh......"
After watching it, Xia Jieren really didn't know what expression to use to express his feelings at the moment. He felt happy and speechless.
The main reason was that he didn't know what the [Larvae] were used for at this stage.
Not only is the movement speed slow, but the function is also relatively simple, and it can only metamorphose into existing arms. In addition, it consumes corresponding energy in the process, but its development speed is similar to the hatching speed of the mother nest.
For example, if you want a larva to develop into a worker bee, it will need to spend 100 points of energy before it can successfully develop into a worker bee.
This means that my worker bee consumed a total of 120 energy points.
Isn't this a waste of energy?
"Hey! It's all unlocked. Let's leave it here for now! It may be useful in the future."
After comforting himself for a few sentences, Xia Jieren no longer paid too much attention to it.
The most important thing now is [Scout].
Three hours later, the [Scout] finally appeared after much anticipation.
[Arms: Scout]
[Speed: 120km/h]
[Reconnaissance range: Reconnaissance bird (10 km)]
[Type: Scouting Bird, Scouting Spore]
[Energy: u (indicates uncertainty) 10, 30]
[Introduction: The shape of the scouts is not fixed. They can receive sound and visible light within a certain range around them. They can transmit information through the mind network.]
Overall, the Scout is pretty good.
There are currently two types of scouts, one is the scout bird and the other is the scout spore.
If we obtain genes from other organisms in the future, we can also use them to expand the types of scouts.
"Kerrigan, let's hatch twenty bird-type scouts first to test the waters."
Xia Jieren ordered.
Soon, twenty bird-shaped scouts stood in a neat row at the entrance of the mother nest.
Out of curiosity, Xia Jieren observed it carefully for a while.
These scouts looked similar to ordinary birds, and Xia Jieren couldn't tell any difference.
Then he tried their reconnaissance distance and the clarity of images and sounds, and found that they were no worse than high-definition surveillance cameras, which made Xia Jieren very satisfied.
"Kerrigan, send these scouts to find out where the wolves are."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 scouts flapped their wings and flew to the place where they encountered the wolf pack. They then spread out their reconnaissance in all directions with that place as the center.
Looking at the scout's receding figure, Xia Jieren said with emotion: "The types of Zerg troops are becoming more and more diverse, but this is far from enough."
Noon the next day.
Thanks to the efforts of the worker bees and many insect people, the Mirror Lake Base has now begun to take shape.
The flat land, neat houses and towering wooden walls made Xia Jieren feel refreshed.
He had already made preparations and couldn't wait to move into his new home.
So, regardless of the scorching sun, Xia Jieren headed towards the Jinghu base at noon under the escort of worker bees and insect people.
After half an hour, he finally arrived at the Mirror Lake Base.
The completed fence can be seen from a long distance. There is a huge gap in the middle of the fence. Highway 1 runs through it, and transporters pass through it from time to time.
When you get closer, you can see that the fence about 3 meters high can effectively block most of the wild animals.
After entering the door, the first thing you see is an extraction room.
"Uh... another matchbox? It seems that this is the limit of my architectural talent in this life."
Xia Jieren said dejectedly.
After passing the extraction room, you can see the evolution chamber, mother nest, warehouse and nutritional embryo neatly arranged from left to right.
Looking at their identical architectural styles, Xia Jieren was too tired to complain.
He could only console himself by saying, "I have a soft spot for this simple architectural style."
Behind all the Zerg buildings is a two-story wooden building, which will be Xia Jieren’s future residence.
Xia Jieren fell in love with it at the first sight.
The whole building is divided into two floors, with a total area of about 80 square meters.
For Xia Jieren, such a large living space is more than enough.
Standing in front of the door of his new home, Xia Jieren said with emotion: "I never thought that I would have a house of my own in this world."
Suddenly he said sadly: "It's a pity that my parents and relatives are not around, and no one shares this joy."
Realizing that his emotions were somewhat negative, Xia Jieren quickly patted his face to divert his attention.
Human beings are social animals. If we do not communicate with others for a long time, our mood will easily become increasingly low, and we may even become negative and depressed. Our physical fitness will also decline as a result. Xia Jieren is no exception.
Although he used to be a stay-at-home, he would occasionally go out shopping, not to buy anything, but just to feel the hustle and bustle of the city.
Without entering the house, he went straight to the edge of Mirror Lake and gazed at the calm surface of the lake. His mood gradually calmed down and his mind became empty.
ten minutes later.
Xia Jieren wiped the sweat from his head and returned to his new home.
The structure of the entire building is made of wood, but the walls and floors are covered with a layer of black and green metal shell.
These shells are exactly the same as those used in Zerg buildings, with high hardness and ductility, and excellent heat preservation and insulation properties.
After entering the room, you can immediately feel a cool breeze blowing towards you.
The first floor was very empty. Apart from a staircase facing the door, there was nothing else.
The main function of the first floor is to serve as a meeting hall.
Going upstairs, the first thing you see is a bathroom, but the equipment inside is very rudimentary.
Walking to the right, what you see is a very large bedroom, and there is a simple study next to it.
In the center of the bedroom is a large bed, which is expected to sleep seven or eight adults.
In addition, there are desks, bookshelves, storage tables, and cloakrooms, and it is connected to the balcony through a large sliding door.
The balcony is spacious and has a deck chair.
Just look at the smoothness of the surface of this recliner and you will know that Chong Er really put a lot of effort into it.
Lying on the soft bed, Xia Jieren's heart was filled with joy and the smile on his face never ceased.
