(This chapter is mainly an introduction to the functions of the base...... So...... If you don't like it, you can skip over...... Well, some watery ...... ）

Underneath this desert is actually a Zerg base!

This news undoubtedly surprised Fengluo.

What is the Zerg's base?

Although there isn't much mention of it in the interstellar setting, anyone who has played the game knows what this thing means to the Zerg.

In simple terms, it has two most important features.

The first is to "incubate" the Zerg units, and the second is to "upgrade" the Zerg units.

These two functions can be directly compared with the beetle swarm.

The first is the "hatching" function, the hatching function of the beetle class, which relies on 24K to consume ghost energy, and then uses the nutrients in the monster's body to hatch.

But this method is not small.

Whether it is the hatching process or the cultivation of eggs, a lot of ghost energy needs to be consumed, and there is also a limit to the number of eggs that can be accumulated!

But the hatching process of the Zerg is different.

According to the research data of the previous "Worm Hive Project", among the real Zerg groups, the queen is responsible for laying eggs, and the incubation is completed by the Zerg base.

The Zerg's base has an incubation pool and cultivation room for different classes, which can hatch a large number of different classes at the same time!

This is obviously much more powerful than the beetle swarm.

Of course, compared to beetle swarms, Zerg also have disadvantages.

It is a hatched Zerg unit, and the level is very low at the beginning, and it takes time to grow.

However, this shortcoming can be compensated for by another "upgrade" function.

In the Zerg base, a special culture medium can be generated, so that the hatched Zerg unit larvae can be quickly improved, and a newborn fierce insect can even complete the maturity in just a few days!

This nutrient solution is obviously more useful than the nutrient solution cultivated by NPCs.

In fact, the nutrient solution used in the Hive Project itself was developed from the nutrient solution produced in the Zerg base.

In contrast, although the beetle swarm has gained a certain level at the beginning, its subsequent growth is undoubtedly not as fast as that of a Zerg with a base.

If it weren't for the fact that in the past two days, that black female Master Kelly had developed the Zerg culture liquid, it would have been absolutely impossible for this batch of jet beetles to have this kind of combat power.

In this regard, there is no doubt that the Zerg have a lot of advantages over the Beetle.

However, the Zerg base has a real advantage.

In fact, it is another way, which is the "assimilation" function!

If you look at it according to the interstellar background, in fact, the Zerg base should have another role.

It is to encode and modify the genes of the Zerg units, and fuse the genes of different creatures, so as to breed a new type of combat force with the characteristics of this kind of biology.

Then, let these new combat classes be selected through combat, and the most suitable part will be used for production and riot.

Combat classes such as "Fierce Worm" or "Flying Dragon" are obtained by fusing the genes of some creatures, and then through harsh battles, the survival of the fittest!

And the beetle colony, to a certain extent, is undoubtedly a product of this.

At this point, Fengluo actually feels that it is the real most powerful place of the Zerg!

Regarding these functions of the Zerg base, Fengluo obtained all the materials from the "Hive Project" of the A-2 underground laboratory.

However, according to the information contained therein.

Sam's army finally locked on to the Zerg base after suffering heavy damage, and then destroyed the entire Zerg base with a nuclear bomb after capturing the brain worm.

However, now here, there is another Zerg base?

"Interesting!"

Fengluo had already roughly guessed the reason in his heart.

The three holes of the cunning rabbit, the wisdom of the brain worm, is really not inferior to that of humans!

"Well, wait...... 24K, how do you know it's the base of the Zerg? ”

Fengluo suddenly thought of something, and asked 24K Dao with some curiosity in the spirit link.

"Squeak, squeak......"

The little one flew with six little paws.

"You mean, you don't know what's going on...... Just after seeing the scene under the carapace, some information suddenly popped up in my head...... You'll understand that this is the Zerg base! ”

Fengluo's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Could it be that 24K also inherited some of the memories of the brain worm, or that it obtained some memory fragments of the brain worm because it defeated the brain worm in the mental space before?"

He guessed in his mind.

Obviously, there is no way to get a definite answer to this speculation.

After all, the spirit, the consciousness ...... This kind of setting is beyond the scope of ordinary science.

However, Fengluo has a vague feeling that 24K was attacked by the brain worm and then in the consciousness of that big battle.

Perhaps, it is not a coincidence of random deduction in the game, but in fact, it is possible that the system is designed.

Because, all kinds of signs and a series of tasks will push 24K to the status of the "king worm" of the Zerg!

Perhaps, this is part of the system to start an important Zerg mission?

"Squeak, squeak......"

The wind fell slightly flustered.

24K didn't respond to him, and the little guy seemed a little anxious, so he called a few times.

["Your pet shares a picture of consciousness with you from the spiritual link, do you receive it"? 】

Then, suddenly, a prompt popped up in the psychic link.

"Consciousness screen, even this can be transmitted?"

The wind fell back to his senses, but when he saw this hint, it was another one.

Could this be said to be the function of the "spiritual link" that has increased since the last evolution?

Fengluo naturally accepted it, and then, he felt that the vision in front of his eyes changed.

Next, it seems to be substituted into a certain perspective.

As you see it, the background is a universe that I don't know where.

Balls that looked like they were slightly flattened, like some additional structures and tentacles were growing slowly in the universe.

And among these balls, there are also some black dots coming in and out of them!

No, it's not a black spot!

When Fengluo took a closer look at these black spots, he found that it was actually a combat unit of the Zerg, a fierce worm, a stinging snake, and a flying dragon......

These units, which were far larger than the beetle class, were only like small black dots in front of this ball, and even large units such as thunder beasts and nest lords.

In comparison with this ball, it is only equivalent to a larger black spot.

Each of these balls is the size of an asteroid, and the diameter is definitely more than 200 kilometers!

"That's it...... Zerg base? ”

With this contrast, the wind that noticed this situation was undoubtedly surprised.

The base of the Zerg is so large, which is simply beyond his expectations, and it is quite visually shocking.

"However, the Zerg base looks more like some kind of creature, with some structures similar to tentacles and sharp horns growing on it?"

At this time, I found another interesting place.

"Squeak, squeak......"

24K jerked his little head, indicating that Fengluo's statement was correct.

Then, in the spiritual link, another message was sent to Fengluo.

The reason why the Zerg have the ability to sail through the universe is because they have captured and assimilated a huge galaxy beast that can survive and travel in the universe.

After encoding the genes of this galaxy giant beast into the Zerg unit, this kind of base that can sail in the universe was formed, so that the Zerg originated from the home star and distributed to the universe step by step.

This kind of base, in addition to providing the Zerg with a living environment in the universe and transporting Zerg troops.

At the same time, it is also the largest combat unit of the Zerg, with very strong defense and combat effectiveness, and can even fight head-on with the space warships of the Star River Empire!

"Galactic Behemoths? Zerg base? Space Battleship ......"

This continuous string of messages still carries the picture.

Undoubtedly, Fengluo was even more surprised.

He now knew why he hadn't guessed that this was the Zerg base before.

In the background of the interstellar game, there is a saying that the Zerg captured the galaxy monsters, but there is no claim that the base is a living body.

And the direction he was thinking about didn't lean on that at all, he just concentrated on the regular classes in the game, so he couldn't think of it.

In addition, Fengluo can be regarded as understood.

Why can't even the Ghost Destroying Energy damage this carapace?

Because of the strong defensive capabilities of this Zerg base, it can even resist the fire of the secondary guns of the high-level space warships of the Galaxy Empire.

This level of defense, even if the base in front of you is already "dormant", is obviously not a weapon that the player is still in the planetary stage and can easily destroy.

Yes, just hibernation!

Follow the information given in the head of 24K.

This base is indeed secretly hidden by the captured brain worm.

This is a sub-base that has branched off from the main base, and it is dormant deep underground, avoiding all kinds of detection.

It's just, apparently it didn't come to mind.

He will be captured and imprisoned, and cut off from his command of the Zerg.

Moreover, the newly created Zerg Juggernaut and the remaining Zerg were also trapped and killed in the space battleship!

As a result, on the entire planet, only this dormant Zerg base remained.

This is undoubtedly a tragedy for this aggressive race.

However, in Fengluo's heart, he felt more that this base should obviously be prepared by the system for 24K missions.

"Will you be able to wake up this base?"

Fengluo asked 24K Road.

"Squeak, squeak......"

"You don't know if you can, but you should be able to...... However, you have to see the dormant eggs of this base worm! ”

"Dormant eggs?"

"Squeak ......"

24K transmitted another picture to Fengluo.

This picture was seen from the field of view of the reconnaissance beetle that was underground at this time.

The situation under the entire carapace is not full of all kinds of Zerg "buildings" as Fengluo imagined, but even more like an empty shell supported by some pillars at this time.

"During the dormancy process, in order to prevent too much energy from being consumed, the base worms hidden underground will enter a state of egging."

"Only after finding a dormant egg can it be attempted to wake up."

"In addition, even if it is awakened, it still needs to provide a large amount of energy and nutrients to allow the base worms to re-immortalize and spread over the entire base before they can control this base!"

Wind falls from 24K in a message.

I saw a smell called "system limitations".

"Requires a lot of energy and nutrients ......"

In addition, there is a smell called "credit smell"!

"Squeak ......"

Sure enough, the message from 24K made Fengluo feel that the credits were flying out.

It is impossible to tell how much 24K of energy crystals are needed for recovery.

However, it says that theoretically, the Zerg base worm has very strong digestive energy, and it needs to provide a lot of additional energy and nutrients if it wants to hatch.

Therefore, with the nutrients that the scorpion can provide, it will take about the entire base to fill up, and it should be able to restore the dormant state to its full state.

“…… Sure enough, this is going to burn money! ”

Fengluo was directly shocked by this number.

How many monster corpses does it take to completely fill up a Zerg base with a diameter of more than three kilometers?

Of course, the Zerg have a wide range of recipes, and they don't necessarily need monster corpses, plants and even minerals can also replenish some of them.

But this is a desert, not a well-stocked jungle of death.

In this area, Fengluo has only encountered monsters five times along the way.

Although, this is partly due to the fact that during the day, most of the monsters in the withered desert hide under the sand and do not come out to move.

However, if you want to fill this Zerg base, it will definitely take an unknown amount of time!

All, the only way.

Obviously, it can only transport something like nutrient solution from somewhere else to replenish the nutrients it needs!

This is obviously a super money burner!

Fengluo had a complete premonition that his credit account would be reduced rapidly.

Even, with the consumption level of the "War Chronicle" system, Fengluo doubted whether the remaining credits were enough after taking out most of his account to the city that never sleeps.

However, this Zerg base, he must be cultivating.

The importance of the Zerg base to the Zerg is not mentioned.

To put it simply, it's the carapace on this base worm and the material of that "pillar".

If it is made into power armor or shields, then I am afraid that it is impossible to penetrate ordinary legendary equipment. You might even be able to craft something more advanced than Legendary Gear!

Also, don't forget.

The Zerg base is on the same level as a space battleship!

That space ship belongs to the NPC, and the player doesn't even want to get their hands on it.

But this Zerg base is his own.

A private bio-space battleship?

In the cosmic era that is destined to come, what a head start this will be!

Therefore, no matter what the cost, this base must be raised.

"Squeak, squeak......"

When the wind fell on his heart, he smiled bitterly and was moved, but 24K suddenly screamed again.

"Hmm!"

Fengluo's face changed slightly.

Because, at this time, a scout beetle flying in the sky came with an unexpected news.

Near the location of the "pillar" dune that previously had the Spectral Crystal underneath, a convoy of players has appeared!
