Chapter 617 The Abnormal

Lindsay treated Dune's injuries.

After strengthening their physical fitness, a sumptuous dinner was arranged.

After the other party had rested the next day, Lindsay asked the hunter about the information he had collected.
Then, Sha Dun was arranged to return to the banyan forest.

In addition to the fact that the status of the hunter leader needs to be re-established and Dune needs to return to its core role.

[Zerg Mother Nest] Although this place has all the living functions, it is still a Zerg environment after all.

After all, the forest city is more suitable for human habitation.

Currently, even the human subordinates who must be stationed in the Zerg Nest generally adopt a rotation every half a month in order to prevent them from having mental health problems.

After sending the sand dunes away, Lindsay turned around and returned underground.

He came to the location of the [Queen's Nest] and opened the building panel on the nest side.

Just like the [University] that humans once had, and the technology research and development building that is now called [Forest College].

There is also such a building in the [Zerg Nest], and it is called the [Brain Worm Analysis Room].

These two months.

Lindsay not only upgraded the hive to level two, but also completed all construction and technological research.

The current goal is to upgrade this place to level three.

"A third-level insect nest."

Lindsay shook his head and sighed, with a helpless look between his brows:

"I have enough rare resources in reserve, but this number of people... I really have to wait."

[Zerg Hive] after upgrading.

A new unique building called [Clone Pool] has been added.

Its function is very simple. Every time a unit is produced in the [breeding pool], the [cloning pool] consumes a corresponding amount of food and can clone one at the same time.

In addition, after the building is upgraded, the construction limit of [breeding pools] increases from three to five.

The daily population growth has now reached 10.

But the problem is that in order to upgrade the [Zerg Nest] to level 3, in addition to rare materials such as mercury and sulfur, the population requirement is directly raised to 3000, which is three times the population requirement for humans to upgrade to a level base!
Lindsay did a simple calculation.

Even if the food consumption is maximized every day, the [clone pool] will work at full speed.

The number 3000 is the number of people that needs nearly a year to be produced.

The Zerg in particular are a very rare sub-human species.

Unlike humans, who can instantly increase their population through immigration from all over the world.

Ignore the pitifully small number of natural reproduction.

The nest's breeding system is almost its only reliable way of growth.

"The current number of members is 821. After deducting the existing members, it will take more than 3000 days to reach 8 members, which is nearly months!"

Lindsay put his hands over his head and opened the strategic map.

His attack plan against the Invaders was also going smoothly, or rather, it was going more smoothly than he had imagined!
The construction of underground cities is not necessary at all.

Because after the Zerg is upgraded to level 2, there is an additional transformation option of tunnel worms. This kind of worm is like a miniature shield machine, digging tunnels underground at an incredibly fast speed.

Lindsay is currently using the Zerg Nest as a starting point to dig tunnels underground, directly connecting to the underground world hidden deep inside.

Coupled with the cold-blooded and ruthless Zerg army and the Zerg's information transmission network technology.

Lindsay didn’t even have to leave the house.

As long as he combines the reconnaissance effect of the strategic map and issues orders in the mother nest, he can achieve a command effect far beyond imagination!

"The upgrade requirements between bases are relatively independent."

"Now that the last sub-base construction authority has been consumed, it can't even be considered icing on the cake. It can only be said to have increased the output of resources a little bit."

"Well...it's better to keep this spot." Lindsay temporarily retained the selected target of the third base.

There are two examples: [Zerg Mother Nest] and [Forest City].

This last option should be as distinctive as possible to maximize the potential of this module.

"Real-Time Strategy."

"It's all about development and large-scale war."

While thinking about the subsequent territory plan, Lindsay also assigned attack routes to the Zerg army.

There is another advantage on the Zerg side.

They free Lindsay from moral constraints.

The units produced by the [breeding pool] and [clone pool] are like the soldiers in the game. They have no personal will and are just units that will obey orders.

Whether killing or working, the qualities of indifference, ruthlessness, and efficiency are guaranteed!

Today, the world is centered in the East.

The underground world covering hundreds of kilometers was completely cleared out, and the empty structures seemed like deserted cities, with only occasional patrolling Zerg soldiers passing through the tunnels.

"Erosioners below the fourth stage cannot pose any threat to the Zerg army. But if they are higher than that, we have to use the swarm tactics to deal with them."

Lindsay bowed her head in thought.

After two months of fighting, he was very familiar with the abilities of the Deformers.

Apart from some special skills developed by individuals, the division of abilities is very clear.

The first stage.

They were the deformed ones who had just been transformed and had not yet developed their sanity. They acted only on biological instincts, and their means of attack were at most to use the corrupting poison in their bodies.

In the second stage, faint wisdom begins to awaken.

At this stage, the deformed begin to actively devour flesh and blood to strengthen their own physique and cultivate or restore their previous consciousness.

By stage 3, the situation is quite different.

At this stage, the Deformed already had the intelligence of a three to five-year-old child, and could control their own flesh and blood to create some dangerous weapons. Even the terrifyingly powerful flesh bomb was a subsequent development of this ability.

It wasn't until stage 4 that danger emerged.

At this time, the wisdom of the Deformers is fully awakened, and they have the ability to fuse the flesh and blood of other Deformers, greatly enhancing their combat capabilities. This is also the reason why ordinary Zerg can only rely on the swarm tactics.

The final stage 5 is also the most troublesome part for Lindsay.

The flesh and blood of the Deformed who have been sublimated into an Ascended One will have a strong immortality. It has the characteristic that if it is not completely destroyed, it will slowly revive over time!
Now there is a better way to handle it.

That is to say, it is transported back to the insect nest and thrown into the garden as fertilizer.

"The fifth stage of the art can achieve immortality in this twisted way."

"In the eyes of those who pursue eternal life, even if they will become corpses without wisdom in the early stage and their worldview will be forcibly distorted in the later stage, they are probably willing to try it."

Lindsay shook her head with emotion.

This is also the terrifying thing about the School of Abyss.

The absolute force to slaughter all things in the world, the means of resurrection to achieve immortality, each path is extremely terrifying.

Based on the skills of these aberrations, Lindsay also had a bad feeling:

“An art that is entirely related to flesh and blood.”

"It's not a problem to send out Zerg troops now to ensure victory in every battle. But if we encounter the sixth stage one day and are completely annihilated by the enemy..."

Lindsay frowned.

The insect army is indeed powerful, but if the corpses of these insects are taken away by the enemy, they will use the skills of the deformers to infect the flesh and blood.

What kind of monster will be created then?
