The real world.

The transport ship had broken through Titan's dense atmosphere and landed on the barren planet's surface, but it wasn't until more than half an hour later that its hatch opened on its own with the sound of machinery.

Emerging from the cabin were four figures dressed in Tyranid Federation power armor... After all, the space in the cabin can only allow so many people to change into this body.

"Boss, is this really safe?" Hou Gongzi's voice pierced through the armor, "There is no oxygen on this planet..."

"You're all out, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xiao Li behind him waved a hand and patted Hou Gongzi's shoulder... The heavy metal slammed into each other with a loud thud.

Unexpectedly, this shot actually made Hou Gongzi, who was wearing armor and weighing more than a tonn, stumble forward...

"Be careful." Xue Qiong pointed to the sky outside, "The gravity of this planet is very small, and there is this kind of wind that never stops, if this place loses its balance and falls, it will not be strange even if it is blown by the wind to take a trip around the world." ”

"Boss..."In the completely sealed power armor, Master Bao frowned as he looked at the surrounding scene, "Actually, if you want me to say, this kind of place, if you want to start from scratch completely, it's really difficult..."

Around the landing site, the entire ground was covered with a layer of black dirt, and only a small crater more than 100 meters away could be seen as far as the eye could see, because the violent sandstorm had never stopped since they landed.

Even the paint on their power armor has been faded due to violent friction in this short period of time...

In the face of this situation, in fact, no one thought that they could build a new station here, let alone build a fortress or even a city that Xue Qiong mentioned before.

"Who said it was going to be built on the surface?" Xue Qiong's tone was a little too indifferent, "Abandon the architectural thinking of the earthlings, don't forget, there is still me here." ”

As he spoke, Xue Qiong took out the first universal capsule, pressed it and threw it out, and a horizontal and vertical one with a size of several meters appeared on the ground... The iron box is still empty.

Hou Gongzi ran over and opened the door, but after finding that it was not only empty, but also had no bottom, he said on the radio with a bitter face: "Boss, is this a new cold joke?" ”

"Bring the door." Xue Qiong gave an instruction to Xiao Li, who came in last, and then answered Hou Gongzi's words with practical actions.

Xue Qiong squatted down on the spot, opened the mask, and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground... Swallow it directly.

"Hey, head, why do you eat everything?! No, the important thing is that it's really okay for you to turn on the mask here?! ”

"Oh..."Lord Bao on the side suddenly realized, "Boss, you could have survived in an environment without oxygen, and now it's just to block the wind, right?" ”

Although the ground can't be absolutely flat, and the part of the iron box that comes into contact with the ground is still constantly being poured in, but with such a thing to cover it, at least there is no need to worry about the sandstorm.

"Pretty much." Xue Qiong closed his eyes, as if he was really savoring the soil, and after a while he opened his eyes, "No bacteria found... However, there is a lot of organic matter in this layer of black soil. ”

Real-world astronomers have speculated that Titan's atmosphere contains methane and clouds of water vapor, so there is lightning, and this layer of black material on the surface of the planet is actually a macromolecular organic matter accidentally generated by lightning... At this time, Xue Qiong's taste was just a verification of this speculation.

"Hey... Boss..."Xiao Li's tone was a little incredulous, "Are you going to prepare... Start with the ecosystem and transform the planet, right? ”

"Why, how can I have so much time." Xue Qiong took out two multi-purpose capsules as she spoke, pressed them and threw them on the ground.

The first capsule contains the equipment needed to put on and take off the power armor. He skillfully removed the arm part of his armor, revealing his hand, and then the tip of his arm turned into a spike, and with a vigorous poke he stabbed his arm deep into the dirt.

In the other capsule, there is a crystal ore box... With his other hand, Xue Qiong grabbed the standard-cut energy crystal strip and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it.

Looking at Xue Qiong's appearance, Hou Gongzi couldn't help but shudder, and muttered in a low voice: "The boss looks so scary now..."

This kind of crystal ore box is a ton of specifications, and Xue Qiong really gnawed off a box and a half like a snack in less than twenty minutes... That is, a little more than 1.5 tons of crystal ore, which is equivalent to 500 units in the game.

After that, Xue Qiong finally pulled his hand out of the ground, said "Okay", and then began to reinstall the armor on the arm.

The three of them, who had been bored, had not had time to ask Xue Qiong what he had done, when they saw that around the small hole that had been poked out by his arm earlier, the soil suddenly bulged a little, accompanied by a rhythmic, heartbeat-like vibration.

"I built a hatchery underground, which is the base of the Zerg, just to adapt to the environment here, the crystal ore is used a little more." Xue Qiong's words were a little scary, "Pack up and leave quickly, half a box of crystal ore will be left here." ”

The three of them nodded as if they didn't understand, not only did they not understand what Xue Qiong did, how did he do it, and what it was of use to the next plan, but they roughly knew that in those twenty minutes, Xue Qiong should have "born" some kind of monster underground...

About an hour and a half later, everyone on the transport ship had already taken turns using the airtight isolation chamber, put on the power armor and walked out, only the two women who did not come voluntarily were carried in the medical sleep cabin.

And then they found out... The ground near here is no longer the "black soil rich in organic compounds" that Xiao Li said in the communicator before, but is covered with a slippery, slimy, nauseous purple slime that chirps when you step on it, and when you lift your legs, you will pull out a little crystal silk thread.

Moreover, the data interface of the power armor reality on the retina has also changed to red fonts, which is the detector carried in the armor, and the alarm will be automatically issued after detecting the fungus blanket...

Xue Qiong walked at the front to lead the way, and at the same time said: "I have also temporarily modified these fungus blankets, and now they no longer need much oxygen to survive... It absorbs methane from the air and organic matter from the ground, is largely self-sufficient in energy, and is also able to break down some minerals, release oxygen from them, and then bring them to... Over here. ”

At this time, Xue Qiong had already walked to the side of the big iron box used to block the wind, and when he pressed a button, the iron box was collected into the multi-purpose capsule in the smoke and dust, revealing the ground that was originally covered by it.

There was a shallow pit covered in slime, and at the bottom of the pit was a huge mouth that opened up to the sky and squirmed slightly... No, maybe it's not a mouth, because this mouth doesn't have a single tooth, and secondly, it's actually more like the mouth of a coelenterate, or to put it another way, it's more like... Chrysanthemum.

It's disgusting, it's really disgusting...

But to be honest, it is necessary to use the method of the Zerg to create a passage to the underground that will not be destroyed by strong winds and dust, and also take into account the sealing performance, so that the air on the ground and the ground do not circulate to each other... That's all it can be.

Fortunately, people in this group are not very afraid of disgusting types, even girls, they all frowned and jumped in... Even though they were all wearing armor, after jumping in, they felt a nauseous feeling of being squirming, pushing, and sliding down the lumen.

After wiping off the slime stuck to the mask, they all saw a scene that they would never forget.

They are in an underground cave with a radius of tens of meters, and as far as the eye can see, all the rock walls are covered with a layer of fungus blankets, but the fungus blankets here are also a little special, because they are still emitting a faint red fluorescence, which makes the whole cave bright at the same time, but also makes this place look more mysterious and gloomy.

Behind them, there was a tall, living, breathing flesh building, the Zerg's hatchery, and the "head" above it was on the top of the cave, where everyone had come down before... If you think about it, the shape of the hatchery is already like an inverted child-palace, so the path they took is even more disgusting.

In addition, there are four or five triangular Zerg worker bees suspended dozens of centimeters above the ground, spitting acid on the walls of several caves, and from time to time digging through loose rocks with pincer-like mouthparts... The rustle of the countless appendages rubbing and swinging in the abdomen of the worker bees, the sizzling sound of the acid corroding the rock formations, the cacophony of the mouthparts rubbing against the rocks, and the occasional cries of the worker bees... The sounds are mixed up enough to give anyone goosebumps all over their bodies.

And that's not all, because Xue Qiong had already taken out the largest multi-purpose capsule and placed their house next to the hatchery...

"Boss... Over here... Not very comfortable, right? The hacker finally couldn't help it, he wanted to scratch his arm, but he couldn't do it because he was still wearing power armor.

"For a short time, I can only hold on here for a while." Xue Qiong explains: "Soon there will be more worker bees, and the underground space will be larger, and then they will dig farther away, and we can move to cleaner places." ”

"If you have to do it, I'll do it. I have to endure it, and I will endure it. Listening to Xue Qiong's words, the nurse raised her head and looked directly at everything here without any scruples, "It's just the beginning, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Xue Qiong opened her mask and said with a smile, "Everything has just begun. ”
