Chapter 2 Hatching the Zerg
With the passage of time, I saw that the eggs suddenly began to beat rhythmically, just like the heart, and at the same time, the weeds on the ground in the canyon, as well as some ants and other creatures, were covered with the mucus on the eggs, absorbing the energy after turning into eggs and hatching insects.
After about an hour, the eggs stopped beating, and at this moment, the mucus on the eggs was already centered on the eggs, and the ground within a radius of several hundred meters was covered with mucus.
Then, under Lu Heng's gaze, the insect eggs suddenly burst open, turning into a hive-like building, seven or eight meters high, compared to Lu Heng, this is definitely a behemoth.
It is the base of the Zerg, the hive.
The mucus that had just burst fell to the ground and fused with the mucus on the ground to form a fungus blanket, which is a necessary existence for the hatching of Zerg larvae.
Looking at the insect nest in front of him, Lu Heng was covered with mucus, but he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, just looked at the insect nest in front of him with excitement.
That's what he's built on.
The surface of the hive is filled with many small pitted holes, and countless larvae crawl out of the holes and enter the fungus blanket to absorb energy.
And the moment the hive was formed, Lu Heng already knew the level and ability of this hive.
The current hive is only a first-level hive, and if you want to create a higher-level hive, you can only plunder resources and let the zerg evolve.
However, although it is only a first-level worm nest, its ability is also very terrifying.
It can produce a hundred larvae per hour, and as long as the energy Zerg is alive, it can produce larvae 24 hours a day.
The larvae can evolve into worker bees that prey on resources, as well as offensive Zerg responsible for killing and plundering.
It's just that the current first-level worm nest can only hatch the most basic four troops.
The first is the most basic worker bee insect of the Zerg, which is responsible for the collection of resources and the evolution into the basic construction base of the Zerg.
The second is responsible for caring for the larvae, as well as expanding the fungus blanket, transporting swarms and detecting the king worm in the surrounding environment.
The last one is the jumping worm, although the jumping worm is only the lowest cannon fodder-level class, but it is also very terrifying, in some low-end planets, the jumping worm is enough to destroy everything, because it consumes very little energy, and hatches extremely quickly, as long as there are enough larvae, it only takes a few seconds to easily form a vast sea of worms.
Even in the later stage, after he, as the master of the Zerg, can strengthen the insect swarm through energy, the jumping worm will become the most terrifying existence in the universe.
Anything that stands in the way of the Zerg will be drowned by the monstrous sea of insects.
After all, the most terrifying thing about the Zerg is not intelligence, not high-end combat power, but an endless swarm of insects.
With Lu Heng's order, the hundreds of larvae on the ground immediately turned into a hundred eggs and began to beat rhythmically.
Ten of the eggs began to grow larger, and these ten eggs were the eggs of the hatching king worm.
"Hatch fifty worker bees, forty jumping worms, and ten king worms. ”
Lu Heng ordered.
With the evolution and growth of the Zerg, he will also get corresponding benefits as the master of the Zerg.
If one day the Zerg he controls has trillions, or even trillions of Zerg, then it only takes him one thought, and his spiritual storm can sweep the universe, and even turn into a black hole and devour everything.
Looking at the eggs that began to hatch on the fungus blanket in front of him, Lu Heng shook his head and said to himself with some dissatisfaction: "But the current energy is still too little, and it can only hatch a first-level worm nest, and even brain worms can't hatch out." ”
The role of the first-class hive is too limited, both in terms of yield and function.
If Lu Heng, who is the master of the Zerg, is the supreme existence, and the hive is the base of the Zerg, then the Brain Worm is the commander of the base.
By mentally connecting to the Zerg, the Brain Worm can analyze the environment of the current plane, as well as the energy system of the preded, so as to give the most suitable evolutionary direction for the Zerg.
Just as Lu Heng was thinking, the forty jumping insects hatched first.
The appearance of the jumping insect is very similar to that of an ordinary large dog, except that it has no hair on its body, and its surface is covered with dark red cuticles, claws and sharp teeth like a sickle, and a long tail as sharp as a javelin.
"Probe your surroundings. Looking at the jumping worm in front of him, Lu Heng ordered through his spiritual power.
With Lu Heng's order, the forty jumping insects immediately divided into five groups, rushed out in the direction around the insect nest, and began to inspect.
At the same time, Lu Heng also used his spiritual power to gain the vision of the jumping insects and began to check the canyon.
"Sure enough, there was no way out, the canyon was a dead end. ”
The speed of the jumping insects is very fast, and the space in the canyon is limited, so it doesn't take a few minutes to complete the exploration.
At the same time, fifty worker bee worms and ten king worms have also hatched.
As soon as the worker bee worm hatches, it begins to collect energy.
Unlike ordinary races, the Zerg need energy, and everything including ordinary water, flesh, and ore plants can be converted into energy by them as food for the Zerg.
Therefore, no matter what kind of planetary plane in the universe, as long as they encounter the Zerg, then the only thing waiting for them is death.
Lu Heng shifted his gaze from the worker bee insect to the king insect next to him.
Ten king insects have been lifted into the air one after another, and these king insects are swarms that belong to the strategic level for the Zerg.
They can conduct high-altitude reconnaissance while laying a bacterial blanket.
With the ascension of the king worm, Lu Heng took over the king worm's vision through his spiritual power, and it was also the first time he saw the situation above the canyon.
Different from Lu Heng's imagination, the top of the canyon is not a mountain peak, but a forest, huge trees that reach the sky, and all kinds of flowers and plants, and near the cliff above the canyon, you can see metal that flashes with strange light.
"Wonderful world!" Lu Heng's eyes showed a shocked look.
Although through the moon at night, Lu Heng was already very sure that he was in a different world, but seeing the scenery of another world again still made Lu Heng feel very shocked.
The giant trees more than ten meters high formed a forest that covered the sky and the sun, everything was so shocking, but what made Lu Heng even more ecstatic was that he found a metal ore above the canyon.
This is what really excites Lu Heng, the ore was found above the canyon, so it is very likely that the canyon he is in is a natural ore vein canyon.
And those ores shimmer with a strange brilliance, and it seems that they are not ordinary iron ores.
Whether it's a higher-level hive, a Zerg class, or a brain worm, they all need special energy.
As for special energy, all major planes in the universe have it, even the earth in the previous life has a lot, such as nuclear radiation, which everyone fears, which is a special energy for the Zerg.
Therefore, what Lu Heng is worried about is not that there is no energy in this plane, but whether he can get special energy in a short time, after all, if there is no special energy, then he can only hatch a first-level insect nest and cannon fodder jumping insects.
Just when Lu Heng decided whether to send some worker bee insects to collect those special ores through the king insects to see if there was any energy hidden in them, the worker bee insects had already conveyed a good news through the spiritual connection.
