Wang Chen and his party still walked forward on the wasteland outside the base, sometimes hunting down some small groups of Zerg troops who came to sneak attack.

They also have maps with clear directions.

At the moment, we have already walked about two-thirds of the way, and we will be there in a while to reach our destination.

"If that's all there is to it, the danger zone here isn't even comparable to the first two mission worlds." Wang Chen frowned, with some doubts in his heart.

In the world of giant beast crisis, there are countless giant beasts living and inhabiting in the grassland, and Wang Chen's strength at the beginning is also weak, so it is naturally extremely dangerous.

In the world of the Death Territory, there are countless dark biomes and massive legions of undead creatures entrenched in the wilderness, ready to spy on and attack a human who dares to break into it.

And in this human-insect war world, so far, after Wang Chen and his party entered the danger zone, about half a day has passed...... Not even a decent attack was encountered.

Most of them are small groups of Zerg troops scurrying around.

It's kind of incredible.

"It is absolutely impossible for an anomaly that can alarm the upper echelons of mankind to be so calm. And since the Zerg troops on this planet have the ability to attack human bases everywhere, then their numbers can't be so scarce, let alone as scattered soldiers as they are now......"

If it was just according to the various signs on the table on the data, Wang Chen even suspected that the most rudimentary female worm had been born on this planet.

Female.

This is a species similar to Wang Chen's insect emperor, belonging to the leading creature of the interstellar Zerg family, in which a single female worm is equivalent to a small leader. There is still a big difference between the level of the interstellar Zerg clan and Wang Chen's Zerg dominating bloodline.

The first is the mother.

Wang Chen's insect emperor has only one head, which is unique.

However, the female worms of this interstellar zerg are different, they can have many female worms in a group at the same time. The mother worm is responsible for commanding all kinds of combat and logistics Zerg subjects, except for the mother worm, all the qiē Zerg species are subordinates, hard laborers, and cannon fodder troops.

The female worm is high above her, equivalent to the absolute nobility in the Zerg society.

And within the mother worm organism, there is also a strict hierarchy.

Starting from the first primary female worm, go up the row, followed by the intermediate female worm, the advanced female worm, the commander level female worm, the king-level female worm, the female insect emperor, and the supreme female worm......

The primary female worm is the lowest, the supreme female worm is the highest, and the power is also the largest, and each level of increasing is a huge watershed in a leap in strength.

For example, if the primary mother worm only has the power of a province to garrison the troops, the intermediate mother worm has the authority to garrison the strength of a country, and the advanced mother worm is the power of one star.

One star.

Ruling an entire resource-rich planet is naturally powerful.

Further up, it's even more terrifying, the female worms who have reached the commander level are often divided into strength according to the star field, and the improvement in strength is simply indescribable.

According to Wang Chen's estimate, since the Zerg troops on this planet have organized and disciplined a certain number and begun to continuously attack the bases that harass humans, it is enough to show that those insects have brains and intelligent beings to command behind the scenes.

Organized and targeted actions are unimaginable if they are placed on bugs that are not controlled by the mother, they will only be chaotic and even cannibalistic.

In the past, there were also human soldiers who had killed some female worms by luck, and in the short period of time after that, all the Zerg soldiers under his command lost their square inches and fought each other desperately, from a well-organized and brutal army to a rabble of beast troops in an instant.

"There are all kinds of signs that there must be a female worm in the zone, then the moment we appeared in the danger zone, we should have been discovered by the other party, the mother worm of the Zerg cannot let the human forces of unknown strength continue to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the area he occupies, and will inevitably send a large army to hinder it, but the current situation is just the opposite."

"Unlike the human commanders, the safety of the female worm itself is too important for the Zerg Legion, as long as they make the slightest mistake, it will be the destruction of the entire army. Even if there is a conspiracy, the mother worm will not risk herself. And those of us continue to go deep into the hinterland of the Zerg occupation area, and this act itself has seriously threatened the life and death of the mother worm. ”

"No sane mother worm would let a human army enter her hinterland, but he won't stop us from ...... right now."

Wang Chen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, it was too abnormal.

"What do you think, Major Wang?" Li Mingyu leaned over suspiciously, he was already extremely bored, but at this moment, he immediately became interested when he saw Wang Chen's frowning look.

Wang Chen came back to his senses and glanced at the goods.

"I'm wondering why the Zerg's movements are so abnormal."

"Abnormal?"

Wang Chen said: "Don't say that you don't think it's abnormal, it's been almost half a day since we walked out of the base, it stands to reason that we should be attacked by the Zerg troops anyway, they are just delayed by something, and they should rush over." What are we encountering now? Some irrational stragglers, those are not Zerg troops in the true sense. ”

"Don't sue me, you don't doubt that this planet has given birth to a mother worm, and it is impossible for these zergs not to stop us."

Li Mingyu didn't deny it, and scratched his head: "Maybe the female worm looks at us and deliberately lets us go." ”

"Do you think it's possible? Seriously...... "Wang Chen kicked this thing, and he was almost angry."

"Alright, alright." Li Mingyu surrendered, and said with a straight face: "Actually, I have been thinking about the problem you are worried about. But it's just some speculation, so I didn't say it. I suspect there's a coup d'état inside the female hive. ”

"Coup d'état?"

"You mean, there are Zerg individuals vying for the rights of the mother?" Wang Chen asked.

"No, to be precise, there should be other female worms born on this planet, and there should be a contest between the two females. As you know, on such a large planet, Zerg soldiers are running around, often attacking some human bases from all over the world, and if there is only one female worm, it will definitely not be able to do this. Therefore, it is also possible that the female worm in our area has just been killed by other female worms, and he has been killed, and most of the Zerg warriors under his command will naturally be divided and incorporated by other female worms, and they will not be able to manage our one-third of an acre of land for the time being. ”

"It's true that the base hasn't been attacked in the recent past, remember the tank bug I showed you earlier?"

"I suspect that this is a tank worm with a single head, so I mentioned that yì sent someone out to catch it, if it is a tank worm under the control of the mother worm, even if we invest ten times more troops, it is impossible to catch it, even if it succeeds after the heavy losses in the end, we must prevent the mother worm from ordering him to commit suicide."

Li Mingyu said: "A living tank worm, how valuable it is to study." It will even allow our human science and technology to be inspired again and improve in certain areas. ”

"So, it's normal for us to be in a situation right now."

"This area is likely to be in a power vacuum for the Zerg."

Wang Chen said: "A group of female insects appeared on a planet, do you think this is a front-line battlefield?" Is this a possibility? ”

Li Mingyu shrugged: "How is it impossible." Who knows how these bugs evolved, maybe they suddenly encountered some kind of special mineral, and began to enter a new round of super-evolution, and it was not a big deal for a group of female worms to appear. Didn't the above also list this matter as a key incident and start a targeted investigation? ”

"Okay, what's the matter, we're safe for the time being, let's go."

Wang Chen frowned, he knew that things would definitely not be so simple.

It is impossible for himself and others to be so comfortable, if this is the case, then why did the Lord God send him here for a purpose? Outing? Wang Chen had the heart to remind Li Mingyu to be careful, but he was ridiculed for being cowardly. And Wang Chen really can't refute Li Mingyu's reasoning. I can't reveal the things about Dead Space, so I can only follow one step at a time.

Secretly, Wang Chen also cheered up, and his spiritual power sensed the surroundings at all times, and even secretly released some war insects out, distributed at a certain distance around them, constantly on alert in all directions.

The group drifted away and approached their destination.

……

In fact, is the real situation really what Lee Mingyu said?

On the other side, in an incomparably complex underground tunnel, there was an underground space dozens of miles away from Wang Chen and his party.

There are countless Zerg walking through here.

Puppy bugs, some ranged types of strange bugs, and even the occasional large tank bug.

In the deepest part of the crater, a creature as large as a ball of flesh gasped.

If Wang Chen were here, they would definitely be able to recognize them...... This is a female worm.

And it's also a terrifying mid-level female worm.

But at this moment, the state of this female worm is not quite right, he is constantly panting, and even the vitality that should be surging is rapidly depleting, there is no trace of a battle around him, and there are no scars on his body.

As time passed, the mother worm became weaker and weaker.

The Zerg warriors in the pit gathered, and they became more and more uneasy. They can also faintly sense some changes in the mother worm. They are enslaved by the female worm, and the female worm's body has a vicious change of strictness, and they will naturally have a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

Hiss -

Roar~~~~

Some of the Zerg soldiers began to roar uncharacteristically.

The mother worm is unheard.

He had already been aware of Wang Chen's party that had intruded into his territory, but at this moment, he could not protect himself, so naturally he did not send Zerg troops to deal with Wang Chen and them. Most of the Zerg forces in the surrounding area had been mobilized by him to his lair a month earlier.

Even he began to absorb the essence of some elite Zerg in the Zerg army to supply himself with life, but he still couldn't stop the changes in his body.

And this qiē change comes from a special, mutated egg.

That's right, an egg.

An egg that is in his body, constantly absorbing the life force in his body.

Half a year ago, he was only a primary female worm, and it was because of the appearance of this insect egg that he was able to quickly promote to an intermediate female worm, and in the case that there was almost no silicon crystal ore source, the number of the Zerg Legion was greatly expanded.

But at this moment, his good fortune came to an end.

This worm egg has been frantically absorbing his life force since the last month, and it feels as if something is about to burst out of the egg, and the mother worm feels as if she has become a piece of nourishment that will be sucked dry at any time. At this point, he had reached the point where the lamp had run out.
