Chapter 66: The Upper Hive

February 19, 1043 in the Gregorian calendar.

We've been attacked by extraterrestrial life!

This guy is very powerful and cunning!

At the end of the war, 16 ships were missing and 21 were damaged.

......

February 21, 1043 in the Gregorian calendar.

The corpses of extraterrestrial life are of great research value. We are in a fierce competition. Unfortunately, the body was sent to the 1st Scientific Research Fleet for anatomical studies. We only got a few samples, too few to get any results.

......

Since then, seven or eight magazines have been dedicated to exploring worlds beyond our imagination. This strange and mysterious world is completely beyond our imagination.

All sorts of incredible life forms.

All sorts of strange substances that have never been heard of.

Although full of magic, it is too far from humans.

Zhang Tong just wanted to know why the research ship had crashed into the desperate ice field. What exactly did the goblin expedition find?

......

March 30, 1043 in the Gregorian calendar.

Continue sailing.

Extraterritorial space is very dangerous. To date, we have suffered more than 20 attacks and lost more than 80 warships. Aircraft carrier No. 4 was hit in the core area during the battle with the Mojiao and was helplessly abandoned.

However, the lives of the soldiers were not sacrificed in vain. We've achieved a lot of amazing results.

Unbelievable find!

We have found the relics of God on a floating continent!

The Supreme Commander said that the legend could be true, that there were gods in outer space. This legend has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It has never been proven, and no one has ever seen God. Our findings could be epoch-making!

......

April 21, 1043

Continue exploring the floating continent.

It's nothing?

April 25, 1043

When attacked by the undead on the Floating Continent, this undead life originally existed in the world outside of this territory. What's more, it was not expected that there would be a few demi-saints among the undead, but we were so well equipped that even demi-saints would not pose a threat.

April 26, 1043

He won a great victory, defeated the undead, and captured nine sacred ships.

April 29, 1043

After a fierce competition, I qualified to study one of the Undead Hallows.

This sacred vessel looks like a coffin. After preliminary research, we found that it does not have a strong killing ability, but it has the ability to make the dead. In other words, this thing in your hands can create an immortal empire!

We named it "Pluto's Coffin."

......

"Hades coffin?" Zhang Tong nodded, "I finally found some valuable information." ”

This strange coffin is not an item from the mainland.

Thunder said, "The Ice King was able to resurrect the corpse of the sapient race, awaken the residual energy in the corpse, and turn it into an undead puppet without intelligence. In a short period of time, an undead army of astonishing size has been formed. This is apparently done through the sacred vessel of the undead. ”

Zhang Tong continued to check.

The voyage was not recorded in the logbook for the next few days.

The captain was a scientist, so he personally studied Hades' coffin, and the contents of the log were mostly information about Hades' coffin.

This is a holy artifact worthy of the undead, it can perform various evil undead rituals, not only summon the life of the undead, but also resurrect the undead puppet, and can create the true wisdom of the undead.

When Zhang Tong saw this, he couldn't help but gasp.

Even if Pluto's coffin is used to create ordinary undead, it can directly resurrect dead bodies, resurrecting dead creatures to become necromancers with partial living memory and thinking abilities.

What's even more surprising is that it hasn't arrived yet.

Any undead created through the Pluto coffin will be controlled by a special rune. With the power of Pluto's coffin, the maker can use runes to control the dead and command them to move thousands of miles.

This is also why a group of unintelligent undead can attack different villages in an orderly manner, and their tactics are surprisingly consistent.

......

April 29, 1043

Research on Pluto's coffin has ended for the time being.

The expedition will do a good job of cleaning up the perimeter and will begin to explore the miracle tomorrow.

......

It ended abruptly.

"Why not?" Zhang Tong was full of doubts, "It seems that there is a lot of content deliberately concealed?

Lei Ming shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. When we investigated, we found that most of the traces of the logs were deleted. The content may be confidential and is not allowed to be recorded in the form of a very low-secret log. ”

"Go with the flow, we're not without gains. At least we know the origins of the research ship and the ice coffin. Zhang Tong closed the note and handed it to Lei Ming. "The Ice King has been resurrected in an ice coffin. The ship was responsible for studying the ice coffin. Then you have to have a record of research and find them!"

"Yes!"

"Burn your notes and don't let anyone know." Zhang Tong looked at the spaceship and said thoughtfully, "This spaceship seems to be hiding a lot of secrets!"

Camp Dawn's goblin foundation isn't bad. With enough research environment and knowledge, this technology will soon grow and even become a huge refuge. Whenever there is a crisis, humanity can escape the disaster by taking refuge in a spaceship.

Zhang Tong can even explore the mysterious outside world through the hidden messages of dawn.

Zhang Tong brought the core of the Zerg brood to the inside of the research ship, and found a warehouse with enough space to store the insect nest from the lower level.

After two months of cultivation in the Dawn Plain, the insect nest has just evolved into an "advanced insect nest". Its power was ten times greater than that of Zhang Tong before he left Camp Dawn.

[Advanced Hive], 80,000 Health, 500,000/5 Million Mana, Strength, Physique, Agility, Spirit. Zerg Control LV4, Scout Bug Propagation LV3, Battle Bug Propagation LV3, Healing Bug Propagation LV3, Exploding Bug Propagation LV3, Collector Bug Propagation LV2.

When the hive evolves into a [Advanced Hive], the number of Zerg breeding units reaches 5,000, which can breed 5,000 ordinary Bugs, 1,000 elite Bugs, and can breed Zerg leaders, and a boss-level Bug accounts for 25 Zerg units.

There are up to 5 types of Zerg in the advanced lair!

In addition to Scout Worms, Combat Worms, and Healing Worms, there are now two types of Collect Worms and Exploding Worms.

"Sending the worm nest here at this juncture will definitely be of great use!"

Zhang Tong is very satisfied with the ability of insects to build nests. As long as there is an insect nest, the mercenary guild's eyeliner can be immediately covered with an ice field. No trouble can escape Zhang Tong's eyes. In the event of another large-scale attack, we can also prepare in advance.

"Cultivate and collect insects!"

The nest of advanced insects wriggles violently. Soon a beetle with a black body emerged from the nest. The worm is about 2 meters long and weighs about 300 kilograms, with a sturdy carapace and a very strange tentacle shape on its back. They are like a vacuum cleaner, constantly changing direction and emitting a faint sound from within.

The two pairs of insect collectors have similar front feet to pickaxes and have strong digging ability.

[Elite Collection Worm (GoldElite), Health 3000, Magic 2000, Strength EE, Constitution E, Agility FF, Spirit F, Resource Exploration LV2, Collection LV2, Quick Mining LV2.] Introduction: Worms responsible for collecting natural minerals or wild resources from Zerg populations are an integral part of Zerg populations, although they are not very combative.

The ability of the high-level insect nest can only summon elite collection insects at best.

Zhang Tong tried to breed a common collection worm. In contrast to Elite Collection Worms, Regular Collection Worms do not have the ability to explore resources other than their reduced basic stats. In other words, ordinary gathering insects can only be collected in a targeted manner, and hidden resources cannot be found or searched.

"Grow explosive worms!"

The nest immediately produced a self-destructing worm.

[Grub Leader (SilverLeader), Health 3000, Magic 0, Strength E, Constitution E, Agility D, Spirit FF, Grub LV3, Introduction: For Zerg with a short life cycle, the only way to attack is Grubs, they are extremely destructive.

Zhang Tong looked at the explosives.

It looks fragile, has no carapace protection, is black and crimson, resembles an ant, has a large belly and six strong feet. Grubs have low defenses and a short lifespan. The only advantage is speed, but compared to the lead monster, the speed of the grub is only medium.

If this bug conducts a regular battle, it can defeat even the elite monsters far away!

But the grub is not an ordinary zerg, but a very special body type.

Poison flies are too fragile to fight. In addition, grubs have a very short lifespan. Once they are cultivated, the value of life decreases over time. This reduction is the largest and cannot be supplemented by treatment.

In general, the lifespan of explosives is 7 days.

In addition, the use of explosive worms is disposable, and they can directly detonate all the forces in the body, causing extensive damage.

The ability to self-destruct is related to its own vitality. The damage formula is the number of lives that result in a super high fire attack when self-destructing multiplied by the number of self-destruct levels. The lead explosive has 3000 HP and an explosion level of 3. Theoretically, explosives can cause an ultra-high fire damage of 9,000 times. Depending on the magic resistance and fire resistance of a normal spirit creature, it can deal about 5000 damage.

Desperate Ice creatures generally have lower fire resistance, so it's easy to do more damage!

"Excellent!"

Zhang Tong was very surprised.

It's a bomb group!

Explosive insects are very vulnerable, and active attacks are not enough, but in a sneak attack, the power of a group of explosive insects can completely hit a colonel-level person, and even cause a danger to the life of a colonel-level person.

The emergence of high-grade insect nests has greatly increased the survivability of humans.

However, the hive has just developed to a higher level. Soon, it will only be able to breed up to 5000 units of Zerg, and in terms of the power of the leader, it will only be able to breed up to 200 units of Zerg.

That's too small!

However, insect nests are just getting started, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. In the last Treasury expedition, the Mercenary Guild obtained a large number of Pure Energy Crystal Blocks and took out a portion for the Hive to absorb, which at least doubled the Hive's power.
