Chapter 404 The Zerg’s Great Encounter
At this moment, several investigators suddenly felt something and looked into the distance.
It was a few reconnaissance flies from the Zerg Legion that climbed up from the edge of the cliff. They were flying extremely fast, comparable to a small fighter jet.
These detectives put the locust gently on the ground, called "Bo Bo", and then activated their "invisibility" abilities.
"Oh... you have eaten the insects here and also gained the ability to become invisible??" Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
In the past, only a few types of bugs could become invisible, but now everyone can do it.
The captured locust, after losing its restraints, jumped suddenly and rushed towards Professor Lu Tiantian nearby.
Everyone was anxious, it was no joke that the national treasure professor was being attacked, and they all stretched out their hands to stop him.
But something strange happened. The locust seemed to be attacked by some invisible force. It lost its strength halfway through the jump and lay on the ground struggling feebly.
In the blink of an eye, more air comes out and less air comes in.
"What's going on? Why did you die?"
Everyone came back to their senses and studied the locust for a long time, but came to no conclusion.
"I'll give it a try."
Colonel Guo Dafeng activated his frost field, a faint frost appeared in the air, and the temperature dropped several degrees.
Countless pieces of information were compiled in his mind.
Gradually, he sensed the insect's heartbeat, breathing and... a faint spiritual flow.
"The idealistic rules of the insect are being squeezed by this mountain... so its vitality will continue to flow away."
Guo Dafeng frowned: "Is it possible that this mountain and this crack are a man-made cage. All the [worms] here are in a state of being imprisoned. Once they escape from that crack, they will die slowly."
Lu Yuan was shocked: "What about the Zerg warriors here? Are they also imprisoned?"
Guo Dafeng looked at the Zerg scythe, sensed it for a moment, and responded: "The warriors didn't sense the mutual repulsion... maybe it's because the underlying genes are different. Our insects have green-green civilization genes."
"The genes here are different. I don't know what they are."
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and threw the dying locust to the edge of the cliff.
The locust slowly regained its vitality, and just when it was about to struggle to get up, it was captured by the reconnaissance sickle again.
This happened several times in a row.
Once you get out of that cracked environment, you will weaken.
This fact is really shocking. It means that there is a very high probability that these two mountains and the crack in the middle are man-made!
This large-scale project at the level of interstellar civilization can really only be described as "generous" and "big spirit". Even the former industrial Cthulhu "Great East Kingdom" could not accomplish it even in ten thousand years!
On Earth in the past, experts once suggested using hydrogen bombs to open a hole in the Himalayas so that the Indian Ocean monsoon could bring precipitation to the northwest and improve the climate in the northwest - but the problem is that human technology cannot do it!
How could a hydrogen bomb be so powerful that it could blow out a hole? Just kidding, it couldn't even blow out a crack! Not to mention destroying the source of the Ganges River, the three of them would definitely be in trouble.
And now... the amount of engineering work on this mountain far exceeds that of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The engineering capabilities of this super civilization are definitely ten thousand or even hundreds of millions of times that of the previous earth civilization!
A biological expert suddenly slapped his head: "If this is true, it means that it is quite safe for us to stay here... We can conduct scientific research without worrying about these bugs breaking out of the cage and attacking the human base camp."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"As for the investigation, the Zerg here should be able to sneak in. Disguise their scent or something, this place is so chaotic anyway... It would be best if they can find the mother worm. If they can't find it, we can help.
Let’s dig some minerals.”
"Wow!"
The detectives seemed to understand and screamed like crazy.
Even the sky fortress is begging "Bilibili", it wants to eat meat and eat these tender and juicy bugs.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was a little worried that these loyal guys would die.
They are even more determined than humans, and they are reluctant to die one by one...
Professor Lu Tiantian, who knew the Zerg best, seemed to see Lu Yuan's dilemma, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander, the Zerg here have excellent genes and a lot of opportunities. They are already high-level.
Now, they have abundant food sources here and may be able to evolve again..."
Yes, the Zerg on the human side are really lucky.
They grow from the poppy tree and eat part of the poppy tree.
The innate foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary insects.
Moreover, he also incorporated Green Man genes, ate fire attribute minerals, and even ate a drop of [ghost] blood!
This opportunity is definitely not small!
As for the bugs here, staying here for a lifetime is equivalent to the gap between regular troops and bandits.
"The evolution of the Zerg must require the genes of the strong and time..."
"The bugs here have no genes. It's hard to say whether they are strong or not, but they shouldn't be too smart."
Guo Dafeng also nodded in agreement: "I think it is a suitable choice to open up wasteland here. We can easily deal with this batch of people who come up... we can even deal with them with simple cold weapons. Hot weapons are still too expensive."
"We also have bugs here, like the Leviathan and the mammoth, which are well-cultivated... Let them kill freely and devour some bugs, and maybe they can develop invisibility."
Lu Yuan listened to their discussion, finally made up his mind, turned around, and said to the detectives.
"Okay, then you conduct careful investigation and protect your own lives. Don't die because you are too greedy."
"Wow!" The scouts waved their sickles.
The "Sky Fortress" that wanted to fly was stopped by Lu Yuan: "It has nothing to do with you. You are such a big man, are you going to jump to your death?"
"Sky Fortress" kept howling and seemed a little aggrieved. It was kicked several times before it calmed down.
This is indeed a difficult decision...
If the information is wrong, the family may be exterminated.
Even if the "Greed Demon" is indeed very powerful, the behavioral patterns of those bugs are still an unsolved mystery.
But if humans can find the female worm... what does that mean?
That is indeed a huge benefit - control, and Zerg reproduction!
Although the Zerg warriors on the human side are good, obedient and love to work, there are only 1,500 of them, all of them elites given by Mother Conch.
Soldiers are more skilled than more numerous. These 1,500 insects have helped mankind overcome many difficulties.
But the problem is that these Zerg warriors cannot reproduce, and Lu Yuan will feel distressed for a long time if one of them dies.
Especially after many wars, the Zerg lost more than a hundred.
This problem cannot be solved no matter how advanced biology is.
Because these 1,500 Zerg warriors are part of the Alien [Insect], its rules themselves are incomplete - it is simply fanciful for humans to complete the rules and help them reproduce.
Only the female has complete rules.
"What would happen if the mother worm could be 'controlled'? Can the dead Zerg warriors be resurrected?"
"Can Leviathan be cloned?" Lu Yuan thought secretly in his heart. All the corpses of the dead Zerg were placed in the sinkhole, frozen.
So he whispered: "Everyone, since you are determined to explore, let us take action. This is an opportunity for us, but it is also a huge challenge! We must understand the true combat effectiveness of these guys."
Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "First of all, investigate whether there is any surviving civilization in this abyss."
"As long as there are survivors, we can figure out the specific information about the Zerg."
"At the same time, we need to capture more biological specimens, but this requires elite soldiers and school officers above level seven!"
22 seventh-level grandmasters stood out from the team.
"You lead the elite and capture biological specimens alive. Be careful to only move on the surface and don't go deep into the crevices."
"yes!"
After arranging the tasks, everyone quickly set off in high spirits.
The 22 seventh-level grand masters were divided into 22 teams and headed in different directions.
This fissure is too big, with cliffs, caves, mountains, rivers, and rift valleys. The structure is extremely complex. 22 teams are not too many. Each team also has 5 scouts as scouts.
Lu Yuan continued to guard the camp, waiting for news from them.
These scientists are all national treasure-level masters, so it is safer for him to stay here.
At the same time, we communicated with the base camp in the rear, requiring them to be ready for battle at all times and provide more support work.
"Yes, there are Zerg everywhere in this abyss..."
"It's not the bugs we have here, but the wild anomalies [bugs]... We will send some more engineers here, and we will build a frontline reconnaissance fortress here. The Zerg army has also been sent here, and there are some experiments to be done."
Lao Mao naturally knew that the matter was urgent and quickly arranged the work in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Sky Fortress made one trip after another, transporting all kinds of cement, steel bars, and insects from behind.
The engineering team relied on the mountain and built a large cement fortress as quickly as possible, like a dam, blocking the two mountains.
If these bugs really come out in force, this large fortress can attract firepower and cover the escape of the Sky City 6,000 kilometers away... Well, this is indeed a very conservative measure. You must know that 6,000 kilometers is equivalent to running from
Heilongjiang to Zengmu Ansha!
Moreover, if bugs escape, they will be weakened by this "irregular" mountain.
But people have to do it, because the Zerg is a very unique group. Once the mother bug gives an order, all the people will charge without fear of death.
Chapter completed!
