Black Light Virus: Invading the Multiverse

Chapter 328 Bandits
From the memory obtained by assimilating the brain worms, it can be seen that the position of the swarm master is unknown to them, and it can be said that it is deeply hidden.

Xia Ming, who had played the game and watched the plot, understood that the master in the game is located on a planet called Zerus, which is also the origin of all Zerg races.

However, after experiencing so many planes, there must be differences between reality and the game. This is the experience Xia Ming has gained from being cheated many times.

And now he will not take the initiative to look for the master, after all, the other party is the leader who controls a huge swarm of trillions of bugs, and looking for it now is tantamount to seeking death.

In the world of StarCraft, personal strength cannot control the situation of the battle, only quantity is the last word.

After all, when there is a war, it is consumed according to the number of planets.

"Are you a new life form created by Amon? Cooperate with me and fight together..."

This time Xia Ming didn't wait for the ruler to finish speaking, so he interrupted the link with the puppet brain worm.

Cooperation?

Who knows what conspiracy the other party is planning.

And the black light virus does not need to cooperate with anyone, let alone a group of brutal and violent bugs.

Anyway, the memory that should be in the brain worm has already been extracted.

Here, on the planet named the Garden of Eden by the Zerg, it is indeed rich in crystal mines and high-energy gas.

High-energy gas is the most abundant and efficient fuel in the known universe, and this precious hydrocarbon can be found on many fringe planets.

High-energy gas is an important part of human spaceflight fuel, it can power many engines, reactors and other advanced technological products.

The protoss mine high-energy gas for a similar purpose, and the high-energy gas is also the catalyst for many of their psionic reactions.

Even many units of the zerg derive their nourishment from high-energy gas, a high-calorie nourishment that speeds up the swarm's metabolism and reproduction.

Generally speaking, the function of crystal mine is roughly the same, but there are some places that crystal mine cannot provide.

Similarly, since this planet is rich in resources, it has naturally been fully occupied by the Zerg.

Under the cover of dust and sand, Zerg creep has already spread all over, and there are countless bugs lurking under the sand.

As for the destruction of the "Hercules", it was also a trap they deliberately set.

The high-frequency signal sent by the brain worm caused the fleet of the Hercules, which was sailing in space, to receive a distress signal that was mistaken for a human being.

However, the cautious captain Silke Neal first sent a detection plane to investigate, while the mothership was parked in the nearby airspace.

The reconnaissance planes dispatched found extremely rich mineral resources by tracing the source of the signal. If they can be used by humans, it will greatly increase the military power.

At the same time, I also saw a mining spacecraft that crashed near the crystal mine, where the source of the distress signal was sent.

It is speculated that there was an operation error during the landing or the spacecraft itself malfunctioned and caused the crash.

So the reconnaissance plane landed here immediately, and several scouts stepped out of the crashed spaceship to check the situation further.

In the end, he saw several ferocious insects beating in front of the console.

At that time, humans did not expect that these savage bugs could already operate human technology.

Before they could show their shocked expressions, the parasites separated from the brain worms sneaked into their brains, became Zerg puppets, and reported the false situation to the mothership.

Everyone knows what happened next.

No wonder humans have never sent anyone to rescue or collect the corpses. It seems that they have also been overshadowed by the Zerg's conspiracy.

Therefore, this planet has also become one of the main mining sites for the swarm.

After Xia Ming learned that this planet is rich in resources, he couldn't help becoming greedy.

It's still the same sentence, since it's here, how can there be any reason not to go along?

So Xia Ming devoured all the bugs lying in ambush near the battleship, and aimed at this planet
Although the brain worms that controlled the bugs on the entire planet were swallowed by him, he couldn't give them instructions.

Because the brain worm died, the master or the queen would take over all the swarms on this planet.

The Queen of Worms belongs to the lower class of Cerebral Worms, and is mainly in charge of Chong Worms in various regions.

The presence of a queen not only speeds up the spread of creep, but also increases the number of larvae in the hatchery.

The queen itself also has certain combat capabilities to deal with the enemy's harassment and quick attack tactics.

The queen's movement speed is greatly reduced outside of the creep range, making it difficult to use the queen offensively.

It can also hatch various parasites to infect human buildings and generate a suicide army under the control of the master.

When the brain worm dies, the worm queen will take over the things on the planet, and there will be more than one worm queen.

Xia Ming retracted the wings of black light, and fell directly into the atmosphere of the planet Eden with the force of a meteorite falling.

This is a planet with enough oxygen for living things to survive, so it is also regarded as one of the gathering places for swarms.

The friction of the atmosphere caused raging flames to burn around his body, like a falling comet at high speed.

But as soon as he entered the atmosphere, he already sensed the danger coming.

Those worms already knew that their brain worms had been killed, and they were attacking themselves, the intruders!
Suddenly, he saw huge spore-like green sacs launching towards him from the ground.

This is the first anti-air attack launched by the swarm building unit - the spore crawler.

The spore crawler is a giant creature that looks like a towering worm, but has six thick limbs at the bottom, which can be pulled out from the ground by the roots and move slowly.

Provides strong AA defenses for the Hive, with a wide sensing range and the ability to spray deadly acid on any hostile air targets it detects.

Spore Crawlers can also detect invisible or buried enemy units within range.

Its attack range is so wide and its accuracy is so high that it can even shoot space warships in outer space from the ground.

Obviously the huge hole in the Hercules engine is its masterpiece.

However, with Xia Ming's size and agility, these spore cysts are undoubtedly bombarding mosquitoes with cannons, and it is impossible to hit them.

In less than 2 minutes, Xia Ming directly broke through the prevention and control line, and fell into the land of swarms with a bang!

He chose a rich mining area as the landing point. Before landing, he could feel a majestic energy continuously emanating from the ground below.

Naturally, this kind of rich mining area is also guarded by a large number of insect swarms.

After the bugs heard the earth-shattering loud noise, countless hideous and terrifying bug heads turned around and looked here.

The surface of the planet has been completely covered by thick creep.

Creep is an important existence to ensure Zerg reproduction and rooting. It is a living Zerg organism used to nourish Zerg structures and larvae.

Zerg structures can only thrive and function if they are on top of creep.

Creep has a honeycomb structure, relying on roots that penetrate deep into the ground to extract and process minerals to feed themselves and other Zerg members.

And Creep grows very fast, if not deliberately stopped, their spread will be quickly noticed, and they can even grow in space!

Creep can not only serve as food for bugs, but also enhance their combat effectiveness, movement speed, recovery ability and other aspects, and even provide concealment for bug swarms.

Moreover, these creeps also contain extremely strong infectious viruses. Any non-Zerg creature that steps here will be assimilated and infected into a member of the Zerg, or directly sunk into it and turned into nutrients.

So whenever the Zerg wants to invade a planet, the first thing to do is to expand the range of the creep.

But now, Xia Ming stepped on the Zerg creep, and could feel as if countless ants were gnawing at his ankles.

He really wanted to try which one was better, the black light creep or the zerg creep, but rationally, he didn't do it yet.

Because the swarm also has powerful phagocytosis, assimilation, and evolution genes, if its own black light virus substance is captured by the master, it may evolve a corresponding restraint method.

So Xia Ming immediately entered the form of the most defensive demon rhinoceros armor. This time the creep had gnawed a hard bone, and no matter what, he couldn't gnaw a piece of skin off him.

At this time, the millions of bugs around him also launched a crazy attack on him.

Xia Ming didn't even look at them, and directly turned his arms into the form of black light drills, and drilled down in the direction of the energy diffusion underground.

These worms had never seen such an arrogant person before, they roared angrily and went underground to chase after them.

After drilling hundreds of meters deep, Xia Ming felt the drill drill into the hollow.

With a little more effort to drill, there was a bang, and the entire clod of soil under his feet collapsed, and he landed in an extremely wide underground tunnel!

The first thing that catches the eye is the crystal mine that covers the entire underground cavern!
The azure blue rays of light that it emits gather together, and it even looks a little dazzling!
The crystal mines on the ground have basically been mined by the Zerg, so they have dug deep into the ground, and they will leave contentedly only after they have exhausted the resources of the entire planet.

Among the rich mineral deposits, there are countless Zerg worker bees mining ore.

Their shape is like a mutated crayfish, with fan-shaped meat membranes on both sides of their bodies, and a pair of huge pincers in front of them. Their density allows worker bees to easily cut through crystal minerals, or to defend themselves when necessary.

They were originally ferocious savage bees on the planet Edesian, but after being alienated by the swarm, they became the resource collection unit of the zerg.

After a long period of evolution, they eventually mutated into worker bees, possessing the ability of gene fragmentation similar to larvae, and can grow into the basic building of Zerg through mutation. During the process of mutation, worker bees need to absorb nutrients from the creep and form new forms. required biomass.

Similar to larvae, worker bees receive instructions and supervision through telepathy with the king insect.

Worker bees are obsessed with their own mission. Even in the face of brutal battles or the possibility of the main hive being destroyed, they can still work diligently. They can be regarded as the bottom of the Zerg tribe.

Since the swarm did not expect that someone would be able to break through the swarm defense on the surface and reach the ground, so there are no defensive insects here, and basically the worker bees are working hard.

After they realized that someone was invading, they didn't stop their work, and worked hard to cut off the crystal mine and carry it away.

Seeing this, Xia Ming immediately released [Thousands of Tentacles], piercing the body of every worker bee present, and assimilating them into worker bees to work for him.

Then, he created another portal, which was directly connected to the dark field he used as a warehouse.

Xia Ming ordered these puppet worker bees to transport the cut crystal mine directly to the dark realm through the portal.

This is blatant robbery, and it went directly to someone's house...

When the fighting Zerg on the ground chased down and saw this scene, they all rushed up to stop it.

Naturally, Xia Ming would not let them interfere with his mining, so he personally acted as a guardian to protect these worker bees, who belonged to the bottom of the Zerg, to safely mine minerals.

This scene is extremely strange, the swarm attacks its own kind, while the invaders protect the worker bees...

In an instant, there was a bloody storm in the mine, no matter how fiercely these Zergs launched a fierce attack on Xia Ming, they couldn't hurt the slightest bit.

But when he was touched, he turned into a puddle of minced meat on the spot.

Under the absolute power and defense, the number can't make up the gap at all, and Xia Ming won't feel tired, because he can kill the opponent and eat them at the same time, and there is a steady stream of energy replenishment.

Finally, perhaps these bugs realized that this was a waste of troops, and stopped attacking at once, hiding in the distance and watching the "bandit" transport the minerals in front of them.

Seeing Xia Ming, are these insects also afraid, or are they resigned to their fate?
However, he didn't continue to kill. Since the opponent stopped and no longer hindered him from opening the mine, he couldn't push the opponent too fast.

Otherwise, if the master is in a hurry and directly makes the swarm explode, no one will be able to take advantage of it.

I won't do too much myself, I will still leave some leftovers for them.

Suddenly at this time, Xia Ming saw some wriggling insects crawling out of the insect swarm.

He recognized this as the most basic unit of the swarm—the larva.

These larvae are the closest living thing to the native form of the zerg.

Each larva inherits within itself the strand of zerg genetics preserved within the main hive.

A juvenile main hive only preserves the most basic Zerg genetic information, such as worker bees, but as the main hive continues to grow and more buildings are hatched, the genetic information pool in the larvae will also expand accordingly.

After receiving the command of the king worm, the larva will start to pupate, and finally transform into various zerg units needed by the main nest.

In other words, only the existence of larvae can hatch so many bugs of different races.

What do they send these non-aggressive and defensive larvae out?
Is it crying to yourself that the child has no food to eat?

Suddenly, these larvae drilled into the creep, and then hatched eggs swelled up one by one!
