Chapter Twenty-Five: The Brood Expands!

(There has been something going on in the past two days, and it will start on the 10th of this month.) )

An hour later.

A huge sarcoma cracked down from the middle, and then a newborn brood base seven or eight meters high appeared in front of Zhao Futu's eyes. After the eggs of the mother nest were successfully transformed into the base of the mother nest, the internal duct sarcoma began to squirm slowly, and then four or five larvae hatched out of the base of the mother nest with two clicks, and the larvae with viscous liquid fell on the fungus blanket and wriggled around unconsciously.

The larvae are the basic form of all Zerg armies, and they are completely meaningless, wandering around the brood base from the moment they hatch.

When the brood base needs to hatch the corresponding biological class, this will activate the Zerg DNA in the larvae, and then further incubate into new creatures according to a specific activation procedure.

At the same time, the cold chime of the nightmare space also sounded:

"Contractor No. 1013, the eggs of the brood have hatched! …… The brood base is completed, and the current brood base level is level 1! …… The contractor can spend energy crystals to perform the following operations on the brood base! ……”

"Incubate 50 energy crystals of Xiongfeng."

"Incubate the host for 100 energy crystals."

"Hatch 15,000 energy crystals for brain worms." [Note: The eggs of the female nest retain a part of the basic NDA of the brain worm, and a new brain worm can be hatched with the help of these NDA nest bases.] Hatch only once! 】

………………

"Huh?!"

Zhao Futu couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face when he saw this, and muttered, "You can actually hatch brain worms?" ”

"But it takes a lot of energy crystals!"

Because of the successive attack on the two brood bases, there are still a lot of energy crystals hoarded in Zhao Futu's hands.

So without saying a word, he immediately ordered the five newborn larvae to hatch into Xiongfeng, that is, the basic gathering and construction unit of the Zerg. In addition to the fact that Xiongfeng can be used to collect energy crystals, almost all of the Zerg's flesh and blood buildings are hatched from it. As the most basic Zerg unit, Xiongfeng hatches very quickly. In just five or six minutes, all the larvae have hatched into male peaks.

As the Peak hatches, a new list of buildings emerges:

"Build an incubator with 1,000 energy crystals!" [Notes: Hatching Velocitor.] 】

"Build 1,000 energy crystals for the Mushroom Blanket Colony!" [Note: Automatically generate a fungus blanket and expand the range of the fungus blanket.] Ground Thorn Towers and Air Defense Tower Front Buildings. 】

"Build a Stinging Snake's Lair for 1,500 Energy Crystals!" [Notes: Hatching a stinging snake.] 】

"Build an Evolution Chamber, 2,000 Energy Crystals!" [Notes: Increased the biotech tree of Veloctor and Stinging Snake.] 】

"Build a brood base for 10,000 energy crystals!" [Notes: Build a new brood base.] 】

"Upgrade the second-level brood to 30,000 energy crystals!" [Note: Brood base upgrade.] 】

………………

As a first-level brood base, the greatest ability that Zhao Futu has now is to hatch a stinging snake.

The flying dragon is a second-order class of the Zerg, and the corresponding needs a second-level brood base to be able to hatch, as for the scorpions, air guards, and mammoth beasts that Zhao Futu has seen, they need a third-level brood base to hatch. As for the brood base above the third level, it was something he couldn't know now, but the third-level brood was definitely not the highest level zerg base. Because there is also a brood base established by the mother worm on it, and a Zerg base that can hatch the mother body for the Zerg to navigate the universe.

As soon as the five male peaks hatched, Zhao Futu ordered three of them to collect energy crystal ore.

The other two were ordered to build an incubation tank, and the other was to build a fungus blanket colony, which was a prerequisite for all subsequent buildings, and Zhao Futu had to build it before he could build the Evolution Cavity and the Stinging Snake Lair. Fortunately, Zhao Fu Tu still has a batch of energy crystal ores in his hand, and he can start to lay them out as soon as the brood base hatches is completed, otherwise, I'm afraid he will have to wait until those male peaks have collected enough energy crystal ore before he can build a building.

Two male peaks, one on the left and one on the right, came to the base of the brood. Then the body swelled violently, turning into two huge squirming flesh, dark cyan pipes connected to the surface of the two giant sarcomas, and then a large amount of nutrients absorbed from the Zerg corpses were supplied to the two giant sarcomas. The Zerg army is not to be fed. All they need to do is build a blanket of fungi, which turns back into automatically absorbing nutrients from the ground, as well as the corpses of various creatures, etc., and breaking them down into the most basic nutrients. The tiny pores on the tongguo fungus blanket are sent to the Zerg army.

In other words, where there is a fungus blanket, the Zerg army can receive a steady stream of nutrients and slowly recover from their injuries!

The first to hatch are the blanket colonies. As soon as the fungus blanket was hatched, it began to quickly create a dark cyan fungus blanket, allowing it to expand beyond the brood base, and the dead Zerg corpses on the periphery immediately dissolved rapidly after touching the fungus blanket, and soon there was not even a bit of bone residue. Some hapless desert ants also appeared on the fungus blanket, but disappeared without a trace in a matter of minutes!

The mushroom blanket was constructed, and an area within a 500-meter radius centered on the brood base was enveloped in the mushroom blanket.

However, in order to adapt to the climate in the desert, except for the fungus blanket near the base of the brood, which is exposed to the sun, the other fungus blankets are basically hidden in the sand.

Their tough roots dig deep into the ground, stubbornly sucking up water and nutrients.

It's a halfway between animal and plant, and the fungus blanket is adapted to almost all the climatic conditions of most living planets!

"Hatchery Thorn Tower?"

Immediately after the Blanket Colony is built, a branching option appears on it, which is to build a Ground Spike Tower and an Anti-Aircraft Tower. However, these two buildings currently require preconditions, and Zhao Futu is not able to build them for the time being. Moreover, the cost of building a ground thorn tower is also very staggering, and it takes a full 1,500 energy crystals to evolve a fungus blanket into a ground thorn tower.

Smack! Smack!

Five or six more larvae were hatched by the brood base, and Zhao Futu did not hesitate to order them to hatch into male peaks, and then commanded them to go down to collect energy crystals. The energy crystal ore in this brood base is very rich, and Zhao Futu tongguo first-level brood scanned it, and roughly judged the amount of energy crystal ore contained in this piece, which is about between 100,000 and 150,000 units of energy crystal ore!

If all these energy crystal ores are mined, let alone let Zhao Futu establish a Zerg army, I am afraid that it will be enough to upgrade to a second-level brood.

The larvae hatch quickly!

By the time the incubator was completed, Zhao Futu had already produced more than a dozen male peaks, and according to the purity of the underground energy crystal ore, each male peak could collect 50 units of energy crystals in about an hour. The energy crystal ore under the brood base is relatively large, which can accommodate thirty male peaks for collection at the same time, which means that if the brood base is operating at full capacity, there will be about 1,500 units of energy crystallization income in an hour!

An hour later.

Zhao Futu Tongguo's rough calculation also understood the speed at which the first-level brood hatched larvae, which was about once in ten minutes, and the number of larvae at a time was four or five, and the larvae that had been hoarded to about twenty at most would no longer hatch, far less than the hatching speed of more than ten at a time in the brood base controlled by the nightmare space. However, an hour was enough time for Zhao Futu to replenish the number of thirty male peaks, and then he began to hatch the velociraptor beast.

After setting up the hatching pool, Zhao Futu immediately put all the energy crystals into it, preparing to build the stinging snake's lair.

It took an afternoon!

Zhao Futu finally worked the underground energy crystal ore at full capacity, and established the hatching pool, the stinging snake lair, and the evolution cavity.

As these buildings are completed, a new hatching list will appear:

"Incubate 50 energy crystals of Xiongfeng."

"Incubate the host for 100 energy crystals."

"Hatch 50 energy crystals of the velociraptors."

"Hatch 150 energy crystals for the Stinging Snake."

"Hatch 15,000 energy crystals for brain worms."

………………

Velocitor is the lowest-level Zerg class, and the price is also very low, 50 energy crystals can hatch two Velocier Beasts in one go. Zhao Futu first hatched more than twenty velociders and let them disperse to guard all over the base, these Zerg armies basically do not need to rest, and they are very suitable sentry personnel.

Then it is to continue to accumulate energy crystals, and Zhao Futu plans to hatch a brain worm first!

He couldn't stay near the brood base all the time, and without his presence, the brood base would be completely dead! Therefore, he needs a brain worm to command the operation of the brood base, and in his absence, he can carry out the tasks of construction, defense, and expansion assigned by him, and know how to control the Zerg army to fight when encountering foreign enemies.

The brain worm is the core of a Zerg base, and without a brain worm, a brood base is like a dead thing!

Therefore, Zhao Futu must first accumulate enough energy crystals.

Night slowly falls.

Zhao Futu carved out a private space in the brood base, and then took the maiden paladin into it to rest.

Because of the existence of the brood base, Zhao Futu can finally sleep with peace of mind. The industrious Xiongfeng are still working tirelessly, and they hardly need time to rest. According to this progress, by the dawn of the next day, Zhao Futu would be able to accumulate 18,000 points of zuoyou's energy, which was enough for him to hatch a brain worm, and there were excess energy crystals to make an army.
