Chapter 404 Zerg Great Encounter
Chapter 405 Zerg Civil War
In this way, as time went by, the reconnaissance fortress was quickly established, a large number of scientific instruments were piled inside, and equipment such as wires, light bulbs, and generators were also properly placed.
Humanity's stockpile of oil, coal, cement and other resources has almost dropped to the warning level. Over the years, it has been consumed without being replenished.
But there was nothing we could do at the moment. All the remaining inventory was used to build this reconnaissance fortress.
This made Comrade Lao Mao lose his temper. He kept asking questions for three days, "When will mining be possible?", "If we don't mine, most of the projects will have to stop construction," and "You know that Sky City is undergoing a major expansion."
Lu Yuan was also under great pressure: "We have to wait for the investigation report to come out, which will take a few months... Let's let the sacred king give you a hard time."
"make a deal!"
Wait, that's my married wife already. Lu Yuan couldn't help but dilated his pupils, wondering.
…
This massive investigation lasted for more than five months, and as many as 10,000 bugs were captured, with more than 300 species!
The final results of the investigation really surprised everyone.
"The first conclusion is that the more than 300 native insects captured so far, whether strong or weak, are indeed trapped in the cracks. Once they leave the cracks, they will be forced by the 'irregular' mountains weaken."
"Of course, insects that are powerful enough to a certain extent can still be forced to leave, but they are all hiding underground and basically cannot come out..."
"Under this premise, the engineering team at the rear can indeed mine. People can also travel in small groups, just don't get close to here."
This is indeed good news.
The rear base camp is six thousand kilometers away, so the security is sufficient.
"There are also some interesting conclusions." Lu Yuan was explaining on the stage, and the 3D geographical model drawn by the investigation team was played on the big screen.
"Our survey team used drones to penetrate into the 6,000-meter fissure."
"The terrain in this large fissure is very complex, with many caves, honeycomb nests, and some underground fungal zones... Note that the focus of my talk is on these fungal zones."
The photos show various colorful mushrooms, which are as colorful as flowers.
The smallest one is only as big as a bean sprout, and the largest one is as big as a palm.
"Those fungi were cultivated by the Zerg with great effort."
"Our drones collected some fungal specimens, but they are difficult to plant out of their native geographical environment."
"At a depth of five thousand meters, it is basically difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Most Zerg use geothermal energy and fungi as energy sources."
A photo appeared on the screen.
The magical and weird underground forest, the red lava, the smell of sulfur, and... the insect swarms that are multiplying crazily.
This bizarre scene is completely different from the lush tropical rainforest outside. It can be described as weird and crazy.
"Our scientists dissected more than 10,000 bugs and came to a conclusion... There are at least 12 different populations of bugs in this rift. In other words, the number of female bugs may be 12 or more."
This news not only moved the frontline officers.
Even the government officials who were listening remotely were stunned, thinking about the information contained in it.
More than a dozen strange [insects], what is going on?
Lu Yuan's expression was slightly serious: "To sum up, the crack we are seeing now is probably a Zerg breeding base left by an ancient civilization!"
"There are multiple populations raising Gu here, maybe to determine the final winner, or maybe just to cultivate fungi, that is, mushrooms."
"Most of the Zerg are very weak, equivalent to level 2-3 extraordinary fire fighters. For our current soldiers, even with cold weapons, one can fight ten."
"But there are also some that are very powerful, perhaps even stronger than our King Insects and Leviathan. These ancient existences are left over from previous eras and can easily destroy us humans."
He sighed softly: "Fortunately, these bugs don't pay much attention to the outside world. In the past five months, only a very small number of bugs crawled out of the cracks."
At this time, several government officials' remote conference images frowned on the screen and said: "So, Mr. Lu, since the enemy is stronger than expected and we are unable to go deep to find the female insect, what is the reason for staying here? What? We can leave here and find the next civilization relic."
"As for the evolution of our Zerg warriors... secretly hunting hundreds of thousands of bugs for them to eat is enough."
Lu Yuan sighed: "For the mushrooms..."
"I just said, the mushroom forest cultivated by the Zerg. The ancient civilization has made such a big movement, it cannot be in vain."
"In this crack, low-quality and ordinary-grade mushrooms can't be said to be found everywhere, but there are more than expected..."
"They have many functions. For example, eating a small mushroom is a natural stimulant that can keep people energetic for several days with almost no side effects. It is several times more powerful than adrenaline."
A picture was broadcast on the screen, showing a green, weird-looking mushroom.
"There are also many mushrooms, which contain pure natural and harmless idealistic ingredients. Long-term consumption can enhance resistance, enhance human strength, vision, detoxification ability, etc., comparable to the Zerg enhancement potion we have worked hard to develop!"
"Of course, it doesn't mean that the enhancement potion is useless. If we can get this kind of mushroom in large quantities, we can develop better potions..."
"There are also blue mushrooms that enhance the 'god attribute'. The hope of the whole people's 12-point god may be here... Everyone also knows what the concept of the whole people's 12-point god is."
The members of the parliament in the back talked one after another.
Now there is an additional coral island, which produces resources that can barely support the whole people at level 3.
But after the population expands, the resources are still not enough.
The improvement of the god attribute is the slowest, and it often takes 4 levels to reach 12 points of god...
The 12-point god attribute of the whole people is equivalent to the whole people being able to understand the glyphs. This is a great leap for the "elite route".
Lu Yuan added: "Our investigation team even found a suspected legendary fungus plant, whose function is... to provide opportunities for enlightenment and inspiration? You should know the preciousness of this thing..."
"We do not rule out the possibility of higher quality, epic, immortal mushrooms!"
This photo is very blurry, taken by a drone.
The fungus has a white umbrella handle and a brown umbrella cap. It looks ordinary on the outside, but it has a strange halo. This idealistic interference phenomenon is obviously of extraordinary quality.
A rat craftsman in the rear base camp went crazy immediately after seeing the photo: "This is... naked colored mushroom? My God, you are so lucky!!"
"I heard that the price of this thing... is out of stock!"
"After eating this magical mushroom, you will see bright colors and constantly changing patterns, and you will also feel that time passes differently, maybe very slowly or very quickly, and the surrounding space will become a little strange, as if everything is constantly changing. This will produce a strange inspiration... Although it is a hallucinogenic inspiration, it is still inspiration anyway!"
He shouted excitedly: "Let me pay for it! If you get it, I will pay for it immediately! Our Rat Miba civilization will buy it in unlimited quantities! 100... No, 200 Lingyun per mushroom!"
The expressions of these rat craftsmen were extremely crazy.
They even took out the mirror and started to communicate with their leaders.
The price of consumables is generally one-fiftieth of the same level of equipment!
200 Lingyun per mushroom is actually a very premium price.
"Master Rat, this thing has sequelae, right?" Lu Yuan was quite speechless, "What if you get addicted to drugs, or your brain doesn't work well?"
"Heh, you don't understand."
"The sequelae can be reduced through technology, otherwise why do you develop biotechnology?" The rat craftsman said unhappily, "Do you understand that taking drugs can bring you inspiration? If it were our Rat Miba civilization, we would have sent troops to grab the naked colorful mushrooms long ago, and we wouldn't be so slow like you... Go grab it quickly and go to war with the Zerg! Then take away your spiritual charm, I want inspiration!"
Lu Yuan was speechless, I naturally don't understand... I can get inspiration as long as I abstain from sex, do I need to take this shit mushroom?
The naked colorful mushrooms were detected by the reconnaissance team using drones in the cracks at a depth of 80,000 meters.
Even after seeing it for a moment, the detector was smashed by the bugs.
Of course, his "Greedy Demon God" is capable of going deeper... but he really can't openly embezzle what humans have discovered, and once it causes chaos to those ancient insects, the consequences may be very troublesome.
200 Lingyun... It's not that worth it...
Another video was played on the screen.
A group of caterpillar-like insects are maintaining this mushroom forest, and they secrete a green mucus like shellac from their glands.
These precious fungi absorb shellac and geothermal energy and thrive.
This is like termites on Earth, who will raise a fungus called "Black Spirit Ginseng"; and "Chicken Mushroom" often grows above the termite nest, and the price of these fungi on Earth is quite expensive.
Similarly, these anomaly [insects] will also raise fungi, and the output of the anomaly level is naturally extraordinary.
"According to current observations, the extraordinary resources in this Zerg breeding base can easily allow a population of more than 10 million to climb to level 7. That is the current highest level, the field master."
"No matter how bad your qualifications are, you can use resources to pile up..."
"There are also naked colored mushrooms that give people inspiration, and fungi that strengthen the body and eyes... If we can deal with this damn place, other civilization relics will become kindergartens."
This conclusion shocked everyone present.
While humans were busy and tired for survival, the past civilization took the initiative to raise these dangerous things!
They even took advantage of the characteristics of the Zerg to make them fight each other, unable to do anything to each other, and provide a continuous output.
What is the concept of this output...
What's more terrifying is that such a civilization eventually died out.
For a while, everyone simply held their breath, not knowing whether to cry or laugh - now humans have clearly seen mountains of gold and silver, but they are unable to dig, because the total area of the layers of this abyss fissure is probably larger than The earth's area is ten times larger! There are trillions of Zergs inside!
It feels really subtle and shocking.
"In short, now that we have confirmed that these guys will not climb out easily, we cannot give up the opportunity hastily."
"The closer the insects are to the surface, the weaker their combat effectiveness. We can first find a mushroom forest..."
Raise land!
In the middle of Lu Yuan's words, he suddenly heard a "didi" siren sound, the ground trembled slightly, and even the ceiling began to tremble slightly!
"what happened?!"
"Report! A huge melee broke out among the Zerg in the rift!"
"The magma underground seems to be full, and a small volcanic eruption may have occurred!"
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated slightly, and the meeting could no longer continue: "Everyone evacuated the fortress temporarily, and the scientists entered the sky fortress. The soldiers carried valuable instruments."
"Put in the drone and conduct detection!"
"Soldiers are always ready for battle!"
…
The military acted very efficiently, and the scientists retreated to the Sky Fortress in an orderly manner. The magnitude of the earthquake was not too great, but it did not cause any houses to collapse.
More than a hundred small drones flew into the crack "buzzingly".
After the rock between the crust and the mantle was destroyed, a large amount of red magma poured up. Insects of different species fought together!
Biting each other crazily!
The air that originally smelled of sulfur was contaminated with the smell of acid and blood.
The melee between the legions was simply breathtaking. Various flame sprays, acid liquids, and poisonous gases were used together to form a gray mist.
There are some super individuals located underground, just like Godzilla, weighing up to millions of tons, fighting with each other, and every blow makes the earth tremble slightly.
In just a few hours, the entire fissure evolved into a meat grinder, with corpses, mucus and internal organs everywhere, splashing onto the rocks.
The remaining ones are still charging and fighting without fear of death.
Lu Yuan's face was ashen. This kind of scene with a large number of deaths every moment was indeed a bit...disgusting.
He finally understood why most of the Zerg races were weak...
"That's not how you raise Gu."
In this battle, more than 90% of the Zerg may die. Aren't the newly born batch of newborns just weak chickens?
But a small number of those who survived were able to grow up as "Gu Kings". It can be said that the older they get, the stronger they become.
"It's not even necessary to... surpass the original limits of the Zerg." Lu Yuan swallowed.
