Chapter 17: The Swarm and the Dragon

The war on the Zergmen's side came to an end, the besieging Zermen finally retreated, and the defenders did not intend to pursue, but began to recuperate.

The Zerg can't rely on internal struggle to reunite for the time being, so they won't notice the Zerg's side, plus the Tylen sent out all the scouts who are similar to ordinary insects, and the Zerg didn't appear in their sight, as for the scouts, they originally imitated the appearance of the local small insects, and the other party wouldn't think of the Zerg.

After that, Taryn began to study the special plant that he called Potato Mine, as the saying goes: Explosion is art.

However, as a salted fish, Taryn had learned about the configuration of gunpowder before, but ...... Can anyone cross the world to tell me what sulfur looks like? What does nitrate look like? How do I extract it?

Poison exploded...... In the real world, there is no mechanic to avoid friendly damage, and if you get punctured in the middle of the road......

Therefore, Taryn plans to create a special mine-type bug that can bury itself in the ground and explode when the enemy gets close. If necessary, the layout can be moved.

It would be nice if he could get out of the buried ground movement, but unfortunately the genetic modification is completely up to him, he can't upgrade it with one click, and he can't throw it to other smart zergs, after all, before researching the structure that can make other smart zergs manipulate genes, it doesn't make sense for him to teach those smart zergs any genetic knowledge, and the hardware can't be matched.

"If only one Abbather could help me." Taryn looked at the enlarged gene strand on the panel, showing only a relatively small part of the gene strand, and Taryn had to consider how the countless gene strands of this length should be arranged in order to operate correctly. There is no convenience and chic like the protagonists of those Zerg novels who can casually integrate a certain piece of gene into the swarm.

The real explosion of the Zerg stems from their mastery of genetic modification technology, just as the technological explosion of human beings after establishing a true scientific mind. Previously, they could only filter out the desired species through natural variation, and then let the species spread out to replace the functionally repetitive species, and after countless generations of selection, they could get the changes they wanted. The modification of genes is also the disassembly and random combination of genes with specific endonucleases in a similar way to humans, until the ability to directly carry out purposeful modification is obtained, which is the beginning of the big bang of Zerg technology.

As for the Zerg in StarCraft? They were lucky enough to be interfered with, and then gained a great deal of knowledge about Sarnagar's genes when Aemon ordered them to go to Sarnagar. That's why it broke out so quickly, Taryn had no doubt that the Zerg of Warhammer 40k had been mixed on their own planet for tens or even hundreds of millions of years before they stepped out of their own planet. Eventually, it became a disaster called "The Great Devouring".

"Although I skipped the most important point, I didn't have as much experience and knowledge accumulation." Taryn is well aware of his situation, and although the panel allows him to easily combine genes, he is the only one who has this panel, and the other zergs are completely unable to use the panel to assist him. It is foreseeable that for a long period of time, the heavy responsibility of genetic modification of the Zerg can only be undertaken by him, a former human.

"......" Taryn once again felt a heavy pressure, the will to become a swarm is not such a simple thing, he is not the protagonist of those novels, he can use the Zerg as a pickle girl or a tool to pretend to be a coercion, and then casually say "I am the swarm" in the middle of the two. In fact, he and the swarm are truly one, just like the last time he fought against the Zerg, the mass death of the Zerg will lead to his weakness and the demise of the Zerg...... means his death.

The Zerg is not as tenacious as the Zerg in those novels, even if one Zerg is left behind, it can make a comeback again, whether it is a soldier insect or a worker worm, they cannot become the most important insect queen for the continuation of the Zerg, and the eggs are not 100% hatched, and the hatched larvae will die without the care of the worker insects.

It's just an ordinary Zerg that evolves in order to survive.

"......" Taryn suddenly dispersed the panel, and then he fell into darkness......

……

"I ...... Not dead? "The sharp pain in his body reminded him that he was still alive.

The Hunter began to think back to what had happened, and he and the Zerg who had followed him finally managed to break through the siege of the besieging Zerg and escape, and finally counted him with only four Zerg, and finally they were chased to a rushing river, and then ...... As their pursuers were about to catch up with them, they finally decided to jump into the river to try their luck. Then......

The eyes finally saw the light, and the huntsman opened his single eye, and then he saw vertical pupils larger than his head staring at him.

It was a dragon, and after seeing this huge creature, although it had never been seen before, this word of unknown meaning suddenly appeared in the mind of the hunter.

Let's just call this giant creature that way. The King of Hunters thought so, and the next moment he immediately tried to stand up and prepare to assume a defensive posture, and the sharp teeth and claws of the other party all proved that he was a carnivore.

The dragon sniffed at him, then sneezed. The air currents with water vapor almost scraped the King Hunter away.

"Roar......" the dragon let out a low groan, and then it looked at the creature curiously, releasing a strange smell from the other party, which made its nose tickle a little.

It seemed that the creature had only this means of fighting back, the dragon thought to its simple brain, but it was not going to eat this strange creature that it had never seen before, it was not hungry now, and this creature with a carapace on the outside did not have much meat to eat.

Suddenly, a javelin flew into the dragon's eye at an extremely terrifying speed, and the dragon quickly swung its head, and the javelin slammed into the hard head, and then broke apart, only cutting a little skin, and did not cause substantial damage to the dragon.

"Roar!" The dragon let out a roar of rage and looked in the direction the javelin was flying, a creature that looked exactly like the creature on the ground.

The huge creature quickly rushed towards the insect man, its huge body as if it had no weight, and rushed towards it in an extremely strange manner, and a trace of invisible electric light flashed on its white scales.

The insect man quickly dodged sideways, dodged the dragon's pounce, and then quickly rushed into the jungle.

When the insect man attracted the attention of the dragon, another insect man with a broken arm quietly touched out, quickly came to the side of the hunting king, carried him and ran.

On the other side, the insect man managed to hide in the jungle, and the dense trees blocked the dragon, although the dragon looked large, but the other party didn't seem to be able to touch the trees at all.

"Roar!" The dragon couldn't bear it anymore when it saw that the creature that provoked it was about to escape, and an electric light flashed on its body, and the next moment, it actually flew up, its wings flapping behind it to adjust its balance.

The dragon took a deep breath, then an arc of lightning flashed from its mouth, and then a blue flame erupted from its mouth, turning the woods and the insects inside to ashes......
