Chapter 4 Heart Network

The setting sun left long shadows and the sky quickly darkened.

At this time, Chongyi returned to the shelter with his spoils.

After putting down some unknown wild fruits, he retreated and stood guard at the door of the shelter like the other two insect people.

The small shelter was not big enough to accommodate so many people.

"We can start thinking about building a house now." Xia Jieren kept this in mind.

With so many helpers, Xia Jieren had a very easy day today.

While he was still fresh, he continued to eat grass to store more energy.

Maybe because he was used to it, Xia Jieren felt no psychological burden when eating grass.

Three hours later.

"Kerrigan, is it really possible for the Zerg to not sleep? Why does it feel a bit unreliable to me?" Xia Jieren asked with a frown, looking at the Zerg standing like an iron tower.

"As long as they have enough energy, the insect people can fight continuously for three days and three nights."

"Okay!" Xia Jieren nodded, then found a comfortable sitting position and closed his eyes.

The next morning.

Xia Jieren woke up early and went outside the shelter to stretch his stiff body.

Looking around, except for Bug Two who stayed behind, the other two bug men had already entered the jungle to look for food.

At this time, Chong Er walked up to Xia Jieren and offered him the roasted insects with both hands.

Xia Jieren looked at the golden roasted insects in front of him and started to eat them with relish without refusing.

After breakfast, Xia Jieren continued his energy collection work.

An hour later, Chong Yi and his companions returned with the prey.

"Wow! I didn't expect you could catch a hare." Xia Jieren said in surprise.

"Hehe!" Chong Yi and others touched their heads and laughed foolishly.

Chong Er quickly plucked the hair, peeled it, and roasted it. After twenty minutes, he sprinkled some coarse salt on it.

"Since Chong Er came, the quality of life has improved by more than one level."

"What a pity, there are too few seasonings! The roasted rabbit still has a fishy smell."

After saying that, Xia Jieren closed his sense of taste again.

Touching his belly, which was not bulging at all, Xia Jieren exclaimed: "I didn't expect that a rabbit could bring more than 20 points of energy."

"This is much better than eating grass."

He turned his head to look at Chong Yi and the others and ordered, "Focus on hunting from now on!"

After receiving the order, Chong Yi and others entered the jungle again.

Time flies and it is soon noon.

At this time, Xia Jieren's energy reserves had exceeded 100.

When the energy exceeded 100, Kerrigan's reminder sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master, the mind network has been loaded successfully! ]

"Hey~, what is the mental network?" Xia Jieren asked curiously.

"The Mind Network, or MindNet for short, is the carrier for Zerg to transmit information."

Xia Jieren checked the information of the heart network in his mind, and after a while he understood the function of the heart network.

Simply put, the Zerg's mental network allows for barrier-free communication among all Zerg units.

This can be said to be one of the most important abilities of the Zerg.

After all, information exchange is extremely important for any intelligent race.

In addition, the mind network can also serve as a virtual world.

Xia Jieren can directly obtain sensory information of each Zerg unit in the mind network.

For example, now he can contact Chongyi who is in the jungle through the mind network, see the scenery around Chongyi, and even feel the dampness and gloom in the jungle.

Out of curiosity, Xia Jieren entered the heart network and tried it out.

It was very magical. Everything Chong Yi saw and heard was transmitted to Xia Jieren in real time, as if he was the one in the jungle at that moment.

He suddenly had a feeling that as long as he wanted, he could immediately take over Chongyi's body.

"Kerrigan, why do I feel like I can control Zerg-1?" Xia Jieren asked puzzledly.

"Yes! Lord Overlord has the highest authority of the Zerg and can bestow consciousness upon any Zerg unit."

Xia Jieren smiled and praised, "What a great ability! From now on, I can use other people's bodies to go out and have fun."

"This way you don't have to worry about your life."

For the entire afternoon, Xia Jieren switched his perspective back and forth in his mind network like a curious baby.

Occasionally, he would create some small objects in the mind network world, such as gold, hundred-dollar bills and other small objects.

You know what, this feeling of creating things at random is really great.

"What a pity! The current heart network is not enough to support the creation of more complex things."

Xia Jieren shook his head with a look of regret.

Then he asked, "Kerrigan, how do we improve the power of the mind network?"

"Increase the number of Zerg or hatch brain worms."

"Uh... okay!"

"It is still possible to increase the number of Zerg. As for hatching the brain worms? We have to wait until they are unlocked."

After saying that, Xia Jieren took a look at his energy balance, then exited the mind network space, intending to hatch another insect man.

In the same posture, Xia Jieren yawned out of boredom.

"Ah! When can we unlock the mother nest?"

"It's really troublesome to have to hatch through me every time."

"The key is that it hurts the eyes."

Xia Jieren thought to himself, "It would be nice if we could hatch some female insect people. That would be more pleasing to the eye."

He shook his head and got rid of the unrealistic thoughts.

"Haha! How is that possible? The Zerg are all based on my genes, so how can they hatch a girl?"

While I was daydreaming, the new insect man was hatched.

The moment he was hatched, the insect man first greeted Xia Jieren respectfully.

Then he walked up to Chong Er, received his equipment, and walked into the jungle without looking back.

"This function of HeartNet is so useful!"

"There is no need for any extra explanation. The Heart Network directly instills the mission and Chong Yi and others' jungle exploration experience into the minds of the new insect people."

"Tsk tsk~, if you have this ability, why bother to learn it?"

Xia Jieren was amazed and became even more fascinated by the power of Zerg technology.

For the whole afternoon, with the efforts of Chong Yi and others, Xia Jieren ate all kinds of animals in the jungle, including rabbits, mice, insects, pheasants, roe deer, deer, etc.

These animals have made a huge contribution to the revival of the Zerg.

Thanks to their selfless dedication, the number of Zergmen has reached 8.

[Master: Xia Jieren]

【Energy: 6.9】

[Unit: Bug Man (Power Type x7, Intelligence Type x1)]

【Building template: none】

【Building: None】

Xia Jieren had a constant smile on his face throughout the afternoon.

"The future is promising! The future is promising!"

Now, Xia Jieren was in a very good mood and enjoyed eating grass even more.

As night falls, the dark blue sky is dotted with countless little stars.

Xia Jieren walked out of the shelter, lay on the beach, and looked at the stars in the sky comfortably.

"Where is my hometown?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! Let's relax our tense nerves today."

Looking at the eight insect people in front of the shelter, Xia Jieren smiled with satisfaction and said firmly: "Sooner or later, I will be able to return to my hometown."
