Chapter 9 Base Worms

At the same time, the U-shaped spaceship carrying the eldest young master of the Volks family was also visited by the Zerg, but compared to the pirate ship, the Zerg behaved more gently here.

Because this spaceship was just a luxury cruise ship, and it was not loaded with any decent weapons and devices other than the energy shield, Chu Heng did not ask them to turn off the power system, and in this way, if they wanted to enter their spaceship, they didn't have to be so violent, just ask them to open the hatch.

Rhodes saw that his spaceship had entered the mouth of the giant beast and knew that there was no room for resistance, and obediently opened the hatch at the request of a person wearing a red religious uniform who claimed to be Bilie, although Rhodes was also frightened when he saw these hideous bugs for the first time, but he behaved much better than those pirates, because since he saw such a huge monster Leviathan, it is not surprising that these alien creatures look strange.

It's just that what makes him more curious is that the person who claims to be Bilie is actually a real human, and he can also speak the language of the Ethel Human Alliance, which makes him guess that these monsters are actually not alien creatures, but a kind of cyborg beast.

However, Bile didn't give Rhodes much time to think, he directly took Rhodes out of the spaceship, and ordered the swarm that came with him to control the staff on the spaceship and Rod's bodyguards.

However, Chu Heng was very interested in the combat uniforms of these marines, and only by knowing each other and knowing oneself could one win a hundred battles, so Chu Heng ordered the swarm to bring back a few of these combat uniforms similar to those worn by the human infantry in StarCraft, and handed them over to the researchers to crack this combat uniform that integrates defense and attack.

More than an hour later, the three Leviathans returned to DM18, and at this time, a Zerg underground base had been initially established underneath the planet, and the interior of the base was covered with the newly created base worms created by the researchers. The entire base is equivalent to being in the body of the base worm. This base worm is not a third-level Zerg base, but a new type of Zerg building unit that has been mutated from the second-level Zerg base, and its function is only one, that is, to provide a relatively comfortable environment for the larvae, so as to ensure that the production of larvae will not be reduced due to the harsh environment.

The air environment inside the base worm is almost the same as that of the Is, because the base worm will absorb enough nutrients and substances through the planet where it is rooted to catalyze the birth of the air, thereby changing the environment inside the entire base worm, and will also process the exhaust gases produced by the larval respiration through circulation. Of course, there is basically no such problem for adult bugs, because they have been freed from their dependence on air after nearly a year of hard work by researchers, which means that the current Zerg units can basically survive in a vacuum except for the larvae. However, in order to adjust the insect swarm, Chu Heng spent a lot of energy to complete this feat.

Modifying the larva's constitution so that it can survive in a vacuum will increase the cost of larval hatching, and will also reduce the number of larval hatches, which is why the researchers chose to add a new Zerg unit base worm for the sake of remixing the larvae. However, such a base insect can also provide a relatively comfortable environment for Chu Heng, of course, with Chu Heng's current level 12 strength and level 15 soul realm, the requirements for air are not very high. But without air, after all, it would still make Chu Heng very unaccustomed to it, even if it was an assassin clone who had been indoctrinated.

It took more than two hours for the base worms to completely occupy the nearly 5,000 meters of underground passages dug by the worker ants. And it continues to grow as the worker ants continue to dig. Base worms as long as there is enough energy and material support. Theoretically, it can grow infinitely, and the larger the body, the more larvae can hatch, so according to Chu Heng's idea, it is best to hollow out the entire DM18 planet and pave all the ground with base worms. Of course, this will take a bit longer, and it can't be done overnight, and it can't go too deep into the ground. Otherwise, the temperature in the ground is not something that the base worm can bear.

Rhodes walked out of his ship under the escort of Biriel and countless swarms, but to his relief, it was not a vacuum but air, but he remembered that he was in the mouth of the beast, and he couldn't understand why the Leviathan that swallowed himself in his mouth was not a vacuum. If there is air here, won't it all leak out when you open your mouth again?

In fact, Leviathan, as a bridgehead that carries insect swarms to invade other planets, also has a similar role to the base bugs, that is, it can synthesize the air needed by the larvae by absorbing various rays, light energy and other energy in the universe, after all, Leviathan is also a mobile base that can hatch larvae, if there is no air inside, it is difficult to imagine how low the survival rate of the larvae will be.

Leviathan inserted a tentacle into the entrance of the base worm on the planet DM18, and the wriggling flesh membrane around the entrance of the base worm tightly wrapped Leviathan's tentacles to prevent the air inside the base worm from flowing out, and this tentacle became a passage for Leviathan to enter and exit the base worm, of course, Rod who was inside the Leviathan didn't know, he only knew that he was brought into a wriggling disgusting passage by Biri.

However, when you pass through this passage, everything in front of you changes, and there is a layer of white metal walls all around, but the walls are not regular, and the unevenness on it is not known whether the design is intentional or the technique is not up to standard. In fact, this is not a problem of design or not, the body extension of the base insect is completely in accordance with the direction of the worker ant burrowing, although the worker ant burrowing is first-class, but it is impossible to smooth the surrounding soil layer, so the unevenness inside the base insect is inevitable. Moreover, the inner and outer walls of the base worm are alloy-like substances converted by absorbing the metal substances in the planet, so they have a fairly strong ability to resist hits, and it is not easy for even Leviathan's laser compound eye to penetrate this wall.

When Billie and the two assassins took Rhodes into the base bug, the tentacle slowly retracted, and the chrysanthemum-like flesh membrane on the exit passage of the base worm also tightly tied the door with the retraction of the tentacle, and no air was released.

Bilie didn't give Rhodes time to visit, but took him directly towards the depths of the base worms, because of Chu Heng's request, those disgusting larvae did not crawl around in the internal passage of the base worms, but all obediently stayed in the meat sacs that hatched them, otherwise the surrounding environment would be much more shocking than now, thinking about how speechless the scene was when the entire base was crawling with larvae like white maggots.
