Douluo Continent: Starting with Transforming Xiao Wu into the Zerg Queen

Chapter 34 Zerg Servants: New Zerg Units, New Tactics!

Gulu gulu——

The spores that hatched Zhu Zhuyun kept wriggling, and the culture medium inside them was absorbed into Zhu Zhuyun's body wave after wave.

Perched atop the spores was Lin Fan's new Zerg unit after hatching—the Enchanting Zerg King!

Originally, Lin Fan's large-scale gene fusion modification only created three killing machines and three final genes, but just as new racial units were being created.

When the King of the Earth went out hunting, he brought Lin Fan an unexpected surprise.

The King of the Earth hunted down a ten-thousand-year-old pink lady!

The Zerg corruption pool extracted genes related to charm, mind control, and stimulation from this eternal pink queen!

Lin Fan had a sudden inspiration and immediately ordered all similar mental stimuli that had been collected before to be merged.

As expected, a new Zerg unit was eventually created – the Haunter!

The bewitching butterfly that underwent the gene injection experiment was thus transformed and evolved. The experiment was a perfect success, and it became a thousand-year-old enchanting insect king!

Looking at the Enchanting Insect King clinging to the spores and continuously releasing its internal energy, Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "This gene has arrived at just the right time!"

The number of Blade Queens that can hatch from the Zerg is limited; a new Blade Queen can only be born for each upgrade of the pelvic hatchery.

But with so many beautiful women in the world, it's impossible to give up on someone you like just because you've met them, right?

The birth of the Enchanting Insects came just in time to solve Lin Fan's urgent problem!

Especially the Enchanting Insect King's innate skill, it's simply a deadly weapon! Lin Fan's heart stirred, and he said, "Main Brain, bring up the data panels for the Enchanting Insects and the Enchanting Insect King!"

[Following Your Will]

[Haunter: A Zerg support unit that secretes a colorless and odorless dust that has a strong psychological effect. Enemy units that inhale it will experience hallucinations, psychological stimulation, or even become unconscious (upgradeable)]

[Enchantress King: The leader of the Enchantress Insects, whose dust is even more powerful (Current Level: Millennium)]

[Talent Skill: Absolute Obedience]

[Note: The Enchanting Overlord can compress all the irritating dust within its body into a spiritual essence, which can then be injected into any unit through the Zerg's hatching spores. The modified unit will absolutely obey the Overlord and retain its previous memories. (Cooldown: 7 days, Energy cost per use: 100000)]

Even though it wasn't the first time Lin Fan had seen the Enchanting Insect King's innate skill, he was still secretly amazed.

This skill is absolutely insane!

Any unit that is forcibly injected with the gene serum by the Enchanting Insect King will become absolutely obedient to him! Completely reduced to a slave, obeying his commands.

Although this charm skill cannot significantly enhance or evolve the original body like the Queen of Blades, it is sufficient!

Keep in mind that the units modified by the Enchanting Insect King retain their original appearance and memories! This makes it the perfect choice for building your own spy assassin squad!

Even if Qian Renxue were to impersonate a prince, it would require years of planning and a clever switcheroo. But for me, all I need to do is capture the real prince and make him completely obedient, without any change in his behavior.

A fierce flame instantly ignited in Lin Fan's eyes. The several empires, royal families, clans, and nobles of the Douluo Continent!

If they could capture some of them and turn them into their servants, their insectoid race would have inexhaustible resources! Those clans must possess vast amounts of rare and precious materials and various resources, all of which are glittering energy points!

Moreover, his insectoid race would eventually expand and develop, coming into contact with humans. With the help of his servants, it would be much easier for him to secretly control the power in the Douluo Continent.

Lin Fan took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

They are still far from truly conquering human society; a series of plans and strategies are needed. Currently, the Zerg units alone are far from sufficient. Lin Fan knows that the Douluo Continent is not as simple as it seems on the surface!

Some ancient monsters lie dormant, and even the God Realm beyond Douluo Continent is eyeing them covetously. Moreover, on this planet, on the other side of Douluo Continent—there is another continent!

If we want to completely conquer this planet and make it our home, we must not rush. We must play it safe and develop our strength, and let the natives of this planet see what a cosmic catastrophe is!

Lin Fan then turned his attention to his other three new Zerg units. The previous operation to eliminate the ancient Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was very successful, and the two newly created Zerg units performed exceptionally well!

First up is the creation of the self-destructing bug, a creature that failed to fuse with the explosive gene!

Lin Fan brought up the self-destructing bug's control panel.

[Suicide Bomber: An extremely unstable Zerg unit. From the moment it is born, intense chemical reactions constantly occur within its body. This can produce a massive explosion that inflicts damage on enemies. Its round body also allows it to move extremely quickly. Furthermore, it secretes a highly sticky liquid that allows it to adhere tightly to any object.]

[Maximum self-destruct tolerance time: 20 seconds, energy required: 100 points]

A wicked smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. Exploding bugs, oh explosive bugs, they're truly a blessing for me!

Even the mighty Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, surrounded by a swarm of exploding insects, suffered a sizable wound. Furthermore, after the insects exploded, they secreted a weak, corrosive flame that continuously devoured anything they touched.

Not only does it inflict continuous pain on the opponent, but it can also stop some enemy units with strong self-healing and recovery abilities. It's simply a killer weapon, and most importantly, it's cheap!

As the Zerg's basic units are continuously strengthened, the energy required for hatching also increases accordingly.

These days, hatching a single springtail egg requires 500 energy points, while a single explosive bug only requires 100. What more could you ask for?

Once the exploding bug hatches, it will self-destruct within 20 seconds at most; you can't help but explode, you can't hold it in.

If the exploding bugs weren't removed within this timeframe, his base would be doomed. But Lin Fan had come up with a new attack strategy!

bomber!

Using the Queen's high-altitude flight ability, the fungal carpet is transplanted into the Queen's body to hatch a first-level mother nest!

A level one queen beetle cannot possibly house even a level one mother nest, but it can be upgraded!

By upgrading the Queen Beetle and fusing it with genes that can increase its size, a giant Queen Beetle with a length of over fifty meters and a height of twenty meters was born!

It roamed the sky like a giant warship, blotting out the sun wherever it went!

Moreover, the Queen's body can easily house a level-one mother nest, continuously hatching swarms of explosive bugs that are then released onto the ground.

A mobile aerial bombardment fortress was thus formed!

Thank you to reader "山石为岩" for the four monthly tickets!

Thank you all for your generous votes!

Keep asking for votes!!

Chapter 35 Total War Plans

However, the cost of building a giant Ohmu warship is extremely high, almost equal to the total energy points of one hundred Ohmu.

Lin Fan decided to go all the way and placed the fungal carpet and two level-one mother nests into a queen insect warship.

At the same time, each King Insect warship also contains a large number of soul beast corpses and a small corruption pool. The corruption pool continuously devours and absorbs these soul beast corpses to replenish the energy of the fungal carpet and the mother nest!

In this way, each Ohmu warship will not need to go down to the ground for resupply, and will have a continuous energy supply in the air, maximizing its endurance!

According to the mainframe's calculations, a fully resupplyed Queen Insect warship, with its self-destructing insects hatched and firing at full power, can bombard continuously for up to two and a half hours! Depending on the Queen Insect warship's speed, bombing while flying, it could plow through one-twentieth of the Star Dou Great Forest.

If you bombard one place with all your might, you could probably peel off a layer of skin from a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

However, if incubation and bombing continue indefinitely, the energy points consumed will be astronomical. With Lin Fan's current reserves, he'd be lucky to sustain a full-scale bombardment for fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes may seem short, but it's a non-stop bombardment. The attack on that ancient crested serpent involved only twenty or thirty exploding bugs.

If the Queen's warships were to unleash their full firepower, given the current creep supply rate and the hatching rate of the mother hive, thousands of exploding bugs would hatch and be deployed into the war every minute.

Lin Fan's fungal carpets and mother nests had already upgraded their supply and hatching speeds considerably through the extraction of genes.

It can be said that the Zerg are now showing their true potential and are capable of causing small-scale natural disasters!

Such enormous King Insect warships truly tempted Lin Fan. He steeled himself and hatched three of them.

In order to hatch this giant queen insect, Lin Fan had no choice but to temporarily move the level-three mother nest to the surface, and then move it back underground after hatching was complete.

There's no way around it, this thing is just too big! If we don't move the mother nest up there, we'll have to tear off the entire roof of our underground nest!

The two Queen Insect warships were filled with energy specifically for hatching exploding bugs, and flew into the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters, even higher than the Queen Insect swarms that were monitoring them.

To avoid being discovered by some powerful old monster on the ground, another Overlord warship was filled with various Zerg units and enough energy points to lie dormant.

Treating it as a second home, in case of a war defeat, this Overlord warship can quickly relocate and land elsewhere. Within just one hour, it can establish a second base to continuously supply its troops, allowing it to make a comeback!

In addition to the exploding bugs, swarm bugs, and overlord warships, Lin Fan also acquired two powerful Zerg species: roach and corrosive!

The cockroaches have already been tested for their strength when fighting the crested serpent; they are incredibly resilient. Their thick armor was so tough that even the crested serpent had to exert almost all its strength to crush it. If they were deployed in conjunction with zebra gnats at the forefront during battle, they would undoubtedly cause the enemy units immense suffering.

Unable to fight back or escape, cockroaches not only possess astonishing defensive capabilities but also an absurdly strong self-healing ability. With their fused steel-like genes combined with their own internal healing molecules, as long as they don't die, they can fully recover in just five minutes, thanks to the fungal carpet!

It's an incredibly popular defensive unit, great value for money. While the Roach isn't very aggressive, what the Zerg needs most right now isn't offensive capabilities, but rather units that can withstand attacks and take damage.

With cockroaches, one can easily replace the cannon fodder role of ten springtails, so why not?

As for the Corruptor, it is a small, ferocious Zerg unit that resembles a lizard. Only about the size of a palm, it secretes a highly acidic and corrosive liquid. According to the mainframe's prediction, this liquid could even easily corrode the bones of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, these Zerg units require a considerable amount of energy points. Any Zerg unit that needs to utilize special abilities requires far more energy points than a Zerg unit that relies solely on physical strength.

Lin Fan looked at the insect nest with satisfaction, which had undergone another major transformation.

Their underground lair is now incredibly spacious, almost the size of two or three large football fields, with various Zerg units constantly moving back and forth according to their missions.

Zerg units without assigned duties stand in neat rows on the bio-fungal carpet, far from the buildings, ready to be deployed into the war at any moment.

The insect nest is surrounded by large passageways on all four sides, connecting it to the ground and other nests.

In the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, in the low-level soul beast region, his own lair and underground empire have occupied about one-third of the area!

Lin Fan arrived at the front of the mother nest with high spirits, looking at the swarm of insects surging like a tide in front of him.

The feeling of fulfillment in my heart had reached its peak!

"Mastermind, give me a brief report on the number of Zerg I currently possess."

Zerg Buildings: 10 Tier 3 Broodmothers, 304 Tier 2 Broodmothers, 3021 Tier 1 Broodmothers

[Spirit Towers: 6442]

[Zerg biological units: 243311 Zerglings, 50211 Hydralisks, 10231 Drones, 4236 Overlords, 3 Overlord Battleships, 21321 Suicide Bombers, 1233 Corruptors, 5083 Roaches, 3221 Haunters]

[Heroic Unit: One (Queen of Blades)]

[Servant: One (incubating)]

The spiritual light of the Zerg swarm within the Zerg spiritual network suddenly illuminated the entire spiritual universe! The spiritual power that was fed back to Lin Fan alone made him feel refreshed and invigorated, as if his brain had evolved, allowing him to experience a level of keen observation and rapid processing speed he had never possessed before.

Lin Fan closed his eyes and connected with the surveillance view of all the King Insects ten thousand meters above the ground.

The area surrounding the entire Star Dou Great Forest, including the areas inhabited by low-level soul beasts, is clearly visible.

Thousands of densely packed view windows appeared in Lin Fan's mind at the same time, but Lin Fan did not feel uncomfortable at all and could still view all the view windows at the same time with ease.

This is the hidden special benefit of the Overlord: the more Zerg units it possesses, the stronger its mental power becomes!
