Chapter 239: Base Establishment
In the dense forests of the country of waves, Chen Lu quickly identified a suitable place as his main base. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's a place surrounded by mountains, all hilly, extremely inaccessible, and there are no valuable natural resources, so basically no one will come to this kind of place.
And Chen Lu really needs a place that is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world as the origin of the development of the insect swarm.
Eventually, Chen Lu landed next to a calm lake, accompanied by a meandering stream. You can also see some small animals that eat herbs nearby, and it looks like a peaceful natural scene.
The Iron Man suit slowly faded from Chen Lu's body, and finally turned back into a jacket and put it on Chen Lu's body. He took the jewel-like Zerg egg out of the inside pocket of his jacket and placed it gently on the grass.
"Choosing to hatch: worker bees." A concise command spat out from Chen Lu's mouth, and at the same time, it was announced that the fierce universe of the Zerg was officially born in the Naruto world.
I saw that the egg, which was originally only the size of a pebble, suddenly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally strong surface quickly became soft, and you could feel something wriggling inside the egg membrane, which really made people feel creepy.
After about a minute, the eggs have swelled to half a person's height, and their epidermis is getting thinner. Eventually, a crustacean crustacean resembling a crab claw tore through the membrane, and a strange-looking insectoid creature burst out of its cocoon.
This creature has multiple characteristics typical of insects, crawling on the ground with six thin legs. On its flanks, it also has small wings like fish fins, which seem to be flightless, but they may come in handy when floating in space or water. The two pliers with long pliers may not seem to be very lethal, but they have a special shape that seems to be very convenient for digging and carrying.
The Zerg worker bee is the most basic production unit of the Zerg. They contain a set of genetic code that can transform into any kind of large Zerg "building", which is actually a living structure (though it cannot be moved). They can only be built on purple mushroom blankets, and they need these organic matter to provide them with energy.
Now that there is no fungus blanket, the spirit of this worker bee is very sluggish, and it feels like life is passing. However, Chen Lu didn't need it to survive for a long time, as long as it could hatch the first Zerg base.
"Proceed Construction: Hatchery."
With Chen Lu's order, this Zerg worker bee immediately burrowed into the ground, and then spread to a large area of ground around it. Soon the land was infected with the nearby ground by a blanket of purple slime-like creatures, like twisted organs or internal organs, and slowly spread.
This is the source of life in the Zerg base area - the fungus blanket. Since the Zerg buildings are actually some giant organs and organisms, and the entire Zerg colony is a living creature. In order to provide the nutrients and basic tissues needed by this creature, the Zerg produced a kind of biological carpet tissue, which is called a fungus blanket. In other words, where there is no fungus blanket, the Zerg building will not be able to survive.
After the fungus blanket was laid out to a certain extent, the Zerg building began to be officially constructed. A small mountain of giant eggs bulged from the flat blanket, wriggling and rapidly expanding, and from the outside, the eggs could be seen filled with a purple liquid like amniotic fluid, and an unknown embryo was constantly jumping among the eggs.
It took a full hour for the huge eggs to stop expanding. With the sound of a water balloon bursting, several spikes pierced the membrane of the insect egg from the inside, causing the liquid inside to pour out to the ground, and a majestic and hideous large living building towered in front of Chen Lu. It is a tower-like structure similar to the structure of the Egyptian pyramids, and the position of the spire is like a giant mouth of an abyss with fangs, and five pipes grow from the top of the spire to the bottom of the tower, and three white maggot-like creatures are cut out from the pipes, which fall on the fungus carpet and crawl slowly.
The Zerg Hatchery, which is the core building for the breeding of the Zerg, serves as the queen bee of the colony. The three maggots-like thing is the larvae, the basic unit that records all the genome sequences of the Zerg. The larvae are incapable of any complex locomotor behavior other than the most simple crawling, and they have only one task among the Zerg - to hatch into other Zerg units.
[The hatchery has been established and is drawing on basic energy resources・・・・・・]
As the system was raised, the giant pyramid-like Zerg hatchery began to twitch completely, and the big mouth on the spire also opened and closed, as if it was pumping something underground. Suddenly, the plants within a radius of one kilometer withered rapidly, the trees withered and the grass drooped, and the originally verdant mountains suddenly became pitch black, as if the vitality had been sucked away in one go.
"Ah, that's how it works." Looking at the strange state of the surrounding grass and trees, Chen Lu immediately realized what this ferocious life form of the Zerg made a living. Devouring the life force of the planet, making the planet that was originally suitable for biological development become barren and then migrate to the next planet, it is no wonder that the Zerg will be treated like a plague by the cosmic race.
[Extraction to obtain energy crystals: 273, high-energy gas condensates: 0]
It seems that this is the basic resource for the development of the Zerg for Chen Lu, if the way to obtain the energy crystals is to extract the vitality of this planet, then at least there is no need to worry about the Zerg not being able to develop in this world. I just don't know how environmentally conscious the world is, and no one would be happy to see a large forest disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Continue to hatch worker bees." Chen Lu instructed the three larvae that had just been born, only to see that the stomachs of these three big maggot-like creatures immediately bulged like balloons, and the color of their bodies quickly changed, and in less than a second, they turned into three eggs filled with liquid, quickly giving birth to new zerg creatures. After a while, the three worker bees tore open the eggs and burst out of the cocoon, and their identical appearance made people wonder if this was a cloned triplet.
Without waiting for Chen Lu to give an order, the three worker bees automatically burrowed under the surface of the lake next to them, and they didn't know how to use to collect resources. What is certain is that they are not collecting such environmentally friendly things as solar energy, and looking at the dead fish that have been raised one after another on the surface of the lake, you can know what the fate of this big lake is.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" In any case, the first Zerg base in the Hokage World has finally been successfully established. It's just that judging from the way it develops, it's a little impossible not to become the target of the whole world.
