Now, you can recruit Queen Mushrooms on your own.

The food problem was instantly solved.

From now on, we can recruit insect soldiers without any restraint or scruples.

As the old saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."

In a large-scale war, logistical support is crucial for achieving final victory.

With the Queen Worm acting as a mobile supply station, no matter how large or numerous the swarm, it can always be well-fed.

In the future, they will venture far from their territory to wage war.

If the enemy adopts a scorched-earth strategy, there is no need to worry as long as there are Ohmu to replenish supplies.

In addition, the queen beetle also plays a role in conveying commands and assisting in directing the swarm.

Furthermore, being suspended in the air provides a wider field of vision.

Its only weakness is its timid nature; it has no combat ability and is unable to perform combat missions.

Therefore, in the event of war, it is necessary to dispatch some combat troops specifically to accompany and protect them.

Immediately afterwards, Su Bai thought for a moment and claimed the third optional reward.

[Note: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! A new recruitable troop type has appeared in the Hatchery. Please check it out!]

[King Worm: Requires 1000 Souls]

“Recruiting a King Insect requires a thousand souls. Although it’s a bit expensive, it’s well worth it!” Su Bai muttered to himself.

“Excellent!” Kerrigan stepped forward and said, “Within the Zerg swarm, Overlords play a variety of support roles, such as command transmitters, coordinators, logistics supply depots, and scouts. Therefore, it is a crucial and indispensable unit.”

"From now on, I won't have to worry about the insect swarm's food problem anymore," Su Bai said with a smile, in high spirits.

Now, it's time to think carefully about how to spend the 1 billion souls on the resource panel.

In the special disaster—the infection crisis—before Zhao Ganwu was resurrected, the swarm fought against the infected creatures alone.

Although they possess the characteristic of immunity to infection, the casualties caused by being attacked by hundreds of millions of infected individuals are enormous.

9,812 springtails died.

7,223 hydralisks died.

4,512 cockroaches died.

1200 of the vandals died.

Six queens died.

Furthermore, all the exploding insects were completely consumed.

The number of injured birds is in the tens of thousands.

However, the insect soldiers were already physically strong, and after being nourished by the fungal carpet, their injuries were fully recovered overnight, and they became lively and energetic again.

Despite the massive casualties caused by this infection crisis, the swarm ultimately topped the kill leaderboard.

The rewards for topping the leaderboard, the extra unique reward, and triggering hidden achievements consecutively are all quite substantial.

Therefore, even though the casualties are high, it is still worthwhile.

In addition, due to the killing of a large number of infected creatures.

The surviving insect soldiers have an average level increase of 10 levels.

The Queen of Blades slays an epic-quality, level 35 infected red dragon, levels up four times, and then kills countless infected creatures.

The level has increased by four levels, reaching level 28.

Dehaka also racked up a large number of kills, leveling up seven times to reach level 25.

Furthermore, its size increased, and it grew to a height of two meters.

He is now 9.5 meters tall.

At first glance, it is indeed a behemoth.

Although there is still a gap between him and Godzilla, Su Bai believes that as his level continues to increase, Dehaka will eventually become a true "colossal beast"!

Abathur absorbed the essence of the corpse and leveled up six times, reaching level 26.

As for Broken Tooth, he had to kill enemies endlessly, leveling up eight times to reach Lv28.

Now, this elite Zergling's combat power is comparable to that of a hero of a common race.

The ones that have seen the biggest upgrades are the ten Lurkers.

They lurk underground, using a high density of retractable spikes to inflict massive damage on all enemies in the line of fire.

Therefore, the number of kills is terrifying.

The leveling speed was like a rocket launch; within two days, I went from level 1 to level 35.

These ten lurkers also became the highest-ranking insect soldiers in the territory.
