Chapter 120: The Troubles of the Swarm

The Elite Dungeon Regiment of Qiping Town is having a pleasant picnic, and their target, the Swarm Mastermind, has some troubles right now. Like Hao Yun, it fell into deep contemplation of the philosophical proposition of "truth".

Here it is necessary to review the cause and effect of this matter, on the first day of defending the city in Qiping Town, when Hao Yun slipped away halfway, he released a big bug in the direction of his defense.

He used the power train's "Dang" as the melody to open up, because Xiaobai was watching the emotional drama "Huanzhu Gege" that day, so Hao Yun played the theme song of this famous Qing court drama in a daze.

At that time, the effect was not very obvious, and the little brother did not take it to heart. He thought to himself, after all, this zerg is different from humans, and it is not surprising that the ability to be effective against humans has no effect on insects. Because the individuals of the Zerg do not have the ability to think, everything is controlled by the master brain of the Zerg.

Hao Yun never thought that he had opened this big one, and how much evil he had done to the mastermind.

At this time, hundreds of kilometers away from them, in a swamp full of poisonous gas, the sky was overcast, and the purple ground seeped with an ominous blood-red color everywhere.

On the purple fungus carpet stood a large deformed piece of flesh and blood buildings, which were called buildings, but they were more like biological organs, not only were the appearance densely spread with twisted blood vessels, but the whole building also rose and fell rhythmically like breathing.

In this twisted jungle of flesh and blood, there is an exceptionally twisted and tall building, with countless tentacles pointing at the sky with teeth and claws, wild and unstoppable.

Its surroundings, including the sky, are vigilant with all kinds of Zerg troops, including the main force of wild beasts, stinging snakes, and wyverns, as well as many more bizarre Zerg individuals.

This is the nest of the swarm, the mastermind of the swarm.

The consciousness of the main brain penetrates deep into the entire nest, and according to the information carried in the genetic material, it puts all kinds of collected organic matter into the hatching pool, and controls other buildings, continuously transporting growth regulatory hormones to the hatching pool.

Here, a new batch of bugs will soon be born, and they will be stronger, faster, and more deadly.

Coupled with the existing troops, it may not be impossible to fight, the will of the swarm pondered deeply.

The elves' blow will come soon, and it must go all out. More detailed information factors are injected into the incubation tank. As a living being, the instinct to survive trumps everything. The mastermind of the swarm wants to survive, but it's not afraid.

Danger is real, fear is illusory, and the Mastermind is a completely rational creature that can always make the most rational judgments and actions, even in the most critical moments.

However, this does not include the present.

A wild beast crept into the main nest in a panic, then fell to its knees with a pop. A sharp howl rang out from the psychic connection:

"Your Majesty, it's not good! The foreigner called! ”

Emperor...... The master of the swarm carefully observed the beast, and it trembled with fright, and it could even say that it was a fart and urine. One of its choppers was deeply inserted into the fungus blanket, prostrate on the ground, not even daring to look up.

That's right, it's a soldier of my clan, and there are no problems with DNA, physical structure, or mental connection. The mastermind even remembered its number, and remembered when it crawled out of the hatchery.

What went wrong? Virus? Mind control?

Not like that.

Since more than a dozen wild beasts in Qiping Town showed symptoms, this strange plague spread to all the zergs in this place in just a few days through the spiritual network.

Infected Zerg will emit strange psychic connections and begin to communicate with each other, and in some cases, they will even mate or kill each other.

This is not logical.

The swarm has a strict insect-like social structure, and only the mastermind at the top has the ability to think and reproduce. All other Zerg units have specialized functions, their brains and reproductive systems, and even their digestive systems have been degraded - as disposable biological weapons, they don't need the useless burdens.

The only consolation is that the vast majority of the Zerg are still obedient to the command of the mastermind. The combat power in the hands of the mastermind is still a battle, but it is just ......

The mastermind was rationally thinking about what kind of plague it was, or if it was a special magic method of the elves, but the bugs around him were all in chaos.

"The minister thinks that for this occasion, it is the best policy. Please also ask the emperor to move to the west quickly. This foreigner's ship is strong and sharp, and it has been eroded for hundreds of miles with one cannon, and my Qing soldiers have already been frightened. ”

A scorpion crawled over, and a slender pleading voice came from the spiritual link.

"Presumptuous! Dog minion! The enemy dares to bewitch the people with his evil words at present, and the crime should be beheaded! ”

Don't wait for the emperor yet...... The mastermind responded, and a huge mammoth rushed over and kicked the scorpion away.

The mammoth is the land king of the Zerg, with its massive size, heavy carapace, and fangs like no other in the world. The scorpion was not enough to see in front of it, and was kicked and wailed, rolling to the side.

"Your Majesty, my Eight Banners athletes are still here, and I will ensure that this is clear and clear."

The mammoth's spiritual link is loud.

"The monk king is angry." A big dragon flew over. This is a giant crab-like Flying Zerg, an evolution of a Wyvern that fires ultra-long-range explosive spores that are extremely powerful.

It flew in and seemed to comfort the mammoth, but when it came closer, the tone of the words changed again, "Of course, I can trust the three armies of the monk and the king, but this foreigner doesn't know the etiquette, in case he wanders around in this Quartet City and startles the holy driver, then who is the crime?!" ”

In the end, it was already very loud.

"Your Majesty!" The big crab landed on the ground and crawled in the fungus blanket to show his strength, "The minister thinks that this foreigner is making trouble, just to want some silver, and this country is still in the Qing Dynasty after all." I also asked the emperor to move quickly, and wait for the ministers and others to go and discuss with the foreigners. Measure the material resources of China and build the hearts of all countries......"

"Lord Zhongtang is well versed in foreign affairs, and this is reasonable. At most, foreigners are just elbows and armpits, not a big problem. ”

"Phew! Quisling! ”

"Shut up! If it weren't for the vulnerability of the new army, why did the Qing Dynasty need a traitor like me! ”

"If it weren't for the military expenses being deducted, the governor's yamen would be in such a difficult situation, and corruption would be rampant in the treasury, how could our new army collapse at the touch of a button!"

"Slander! No war, no peace, no defense, no death, no surrender, no leaving, it is really rare in ancient times! The ministers think that these Yidi states are insatiable, and if we retreat a foot, they will advance a foot. The emperor is the rock of the country on which all the people depend, once the west hunts, the temple is not guarded, it is inevitable that the people will be frightened, and the army's heart will be shaken! ”

It's a stinging snake, its position is a mystery, maybe just squirting for the sake of squirting. I saw it writhing its bloated body, the acid in its mouthparts splashing everywhere, and all the insects dodged and cursed.

The mastermind quietly watched the quarrel of these insects, and in the past few days, it sometimes wondered who it was, whether it was the mastermind of the insect swarm, or the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

"Know thyself" is a relatively esoteric topic for any intelligent life, and it is no exception for the masterminds of the swarm.

This mastermind is a super-swarm from another star field, and it remembers the days it hatched, the long years it spent adrift in the universe, and the mission of its population.

But when everything you know in your head is in serious conflict with reality, as a completely rational creature, you will also have deep doubts.

Could it be that I crossed over?

There is a theory called the "brain in a vat", which means that our perception of ourselves must come from feedback from external information. When all the insects around it shouted "Huang Ama" or "Emperor" so seriously, this rational mastermind also began to think. Is he really an emperor of the declining human empire, and is the creeping scorpion in front of him really a "little plum" with his reproductive organs removed.

As for the heavy carapace, hideous arthropods, acid everywhere and fungus blankets all over the ground, could it really be his hallucination caused by the wind and cold, as the imperial doctor said?

Only in this way can this completely illogical phenomenon at present be explained.

However, even with this explanation, I still really wanted to slaughter the group of wine bags and rice bags in front of me......

"The ferocious beast approached to reconnoitre, the stinging snake responded on both sides, the scorpion provided fog support, the lurker burrowed behind the scorpion, the wyvern detoured to the side and rear, and the mammoth followed."

At the moment of the great enemy, the mastermind stopped thinking about his own truth, and methodically issued combat orders in the spiritual network.

However, all the bugs looked up at it at the same time, looking at it in confusion and horror. I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to ask, kneeling there and trembling.

"That's it...... Let's all stand and talk......" The Mastermind sighed in the spirit link. The Mastermind now has a bit of a clue about how these guys are going, and you've got to speak in a way they understand. Otherwise, they will be stunned there, their eyes filled with a flash of horror and despair.

"All there is Prince Lao Gong, I give you the imperial edict to mobilize the horses and infantry officers and soldiers, and it will definitely be given to the elf...... Foreigners hit head-on. ”

"Wait for the dead to die! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

A dry humerus retreated, leaving only one scorpion behind. Oh, it's the little plum that's stayed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

The scorpion bowed his head respectfully beside the mastermind, and did not wait for the edict for a long time. It raised its head slightly, and when it saw that its master was still indifferent, it secretly glanced to the left and right.

"The emperor's dragon body is worried......" The scorpion's heart was full of worries, the enemy was current, but the emperor had recently entered the body with a cold wind, and he was often in such a trance.

As a slave, he will never give up his life for his master. The scorpion has visited famous doctors in the capital in the past few days, and finally asked for an ancient prescription.

After a while, a wild beast crawled in with a small bowl on its head. The bowl contained half a cup of blood, steaming with a hint of heat. This is the antler velvet that has just been cut from the head of the larvae, which is a perfect supplement, and it is the most symptomatic wind and cold into the body.

Xiao Lizi didn't dare to take the medicine directly, so he borrowed the name of eating and brought this bowl of "deer antler" to the mastermind.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

Observing the "deer antler" in front of him, the mastermind of the swarm fell into deep thought.
