Rubbing his slightly swollen temples, Jiang Wang lay down on the sofa Anna had specially made for him and began to close his eyes to rest.

Anna, now free, quietly walked over to Jiang Wang and gently massaged his temples.

"Sigh...no need...never mind, whatever you want."

Because Anna was the one with the deepest spiritual connection to Jiang Wang, she could also feel what Jiang Wang felt when he had a headache. It was like a thousand needles pricking his brain, and even one percent of that feeling was unbearable. The method of massaging Gu Yan to relieve the headache was something she learned and mastered from the public chat.

Although Jiang Wang kept trying to stop her, Anna remained silent and stubbornly insisted on helping him relieve his pain. This was the first time Anna had disobeyed his orders.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Feeling the pressure of Anna's cool little hands, Jiang Wang's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

This headache is more severe than any I've ever had before.

After all, this Zerg expansion brought back not only the genes of alien species, but also insects and all sorts of other genes.

Jiang Wang has been trying to understand and combine genes in hopes of creating stronger soldiers.

But things didn't go as planned. After three days of effort, he only managed to create two unit types, one of which was even converted from a failed experiment.

About an hour later, Jiang Wang's headache gradually began to subside.

[Incubation complete.]

Upon seeing the message, Jiang Wang immediately jumped up from the sofa and headed towards the incubation pool with Anna.

"squeak..."

"Crack, click, click."

【larva】

The Incomplete Product is composed of 100 million genes and can continue to increase in number. It has extremely high defensive capabilities and can release genes when necessary, transforming into all forms controlled by the Hive!

Evolution Points +100!

【Gongfeng】

The huge and sturdy blades can cut through any known mineral resources, and the oval-shaped fan-shaped wings help worker bees maintain their balance while moving at high speed.

Evolution Points +30!

After reading the introduction of the troop type, Jiang Wang was shocked.

Although these two units are not combat units, they are essential for building and expanding the Zerg hive!

Especially this [larva]!

Given enough energy, it can even replicate an entire insect hive in a short time! And enough culture tanks!!

Moreover, it even gave Jiang Wang a full 100 evolution points!

As for the worker bee, it's the transporter of resources and the creator of happiness.

Without hesitation, we immediately put it into mass production!

It had been less than 10 minutes since it was born.

The newly cultivated larvae are then instructed to be transformed into hatching pools.

Its body swelled up and it spat out a crystal, then burrowed inside, its body slowly melting until it filled the entire crystal.

After about ten minutes, the crystals gradually melted, and the mycelium continuously injected energy into the crystals. In about two or three minutes, an incubation pool with a diameter of more than 5 meters was formed. The size of the incubation pool could also be controlled by the injection of energy from the mycelium.

The appearance of the larvae refreshed his understanding of biology. He never expected that a failed product of a foolish fusion of all genes would turn out to be a versatile unit!

Back in the insect hive, Jiang Wang stared at the list of things that could be evolved on the lord's panel, feeling lost.

F: Cultivate (0/100) to evolve!

F: Evolution (0/100) Can evolve!

Units (can evolve!)

Anna (can evolve!)

Jiang Wang unconsciously rubbed his fingers, lost in thought.

Then, I immediately invested 100 evolution points into the talent [Evolution].

After all, only by making this skill stronger can more Zerg become stronger!

Evolution complete!

Rank E Talent: Evolution (0/1000)!

P.S.: More evolution points can be obtained by creating unit types or through genes.

Mental Strength +100 points!

Current mental strength: 174 points!

'Oh?'

Jiang Wang's mental strength had never appeared on the Lord's panel, but by comparing it with Anna's, he knew that his mental strength should be slightly higher than Anna's.

But to my surprise, he was a full 10 points taller than Anna!

Including the 10 evolution points left over from last time.

Jiang Wang then invested all of his remaining 40 points into Anna's Intelligence stat.

Only with higher Ana's intelligence can she control more Zerg units and better assist him.

Having suddenly evolved, Anna hurriedly asked Jiang Wang for permission to undergo a short-term evolution, leaving all Zerg actions to Jiang Wang.

After obtaining Jiang Wang's consent, it immediately formed a cocoon on the spot, still using the same crystal shell, and quickly enveloped Anna within it, powered by the continuous energy supply from the fungal carpet.

Jiang Wang took direct control of the insect swarm. Although he was a little unfamiliar with it, he quickly became proficient at operating it, given that he was currently using 174 units of mental energy.

...

Compared to Jiang Wang's leisurely and carefree lifestyle.

The Defenders Alliance is in a bit of a bind.

"Bang!"

"This is outrageous! If we fail to resist, everyone will die!"

One of the Shadow Legion's captains slammed his fist on the table, filled with indignation.

"Tsk, arrogance has its strength. If you can take down a third of the central region, you can not only pound the table, you can even flip the table."

Xiao Yan, the leader of the Flame Demon Legion, glanced at the Shadow Legion, whose members were weak but addicted to fighting, and said nonchalantly.

He had long since stopped hiding the Shadow Legion's bullying tactics.

"you!"

"Alright, they said they wouldn't team up with us for the raid, but they didn't say they wouldn't cooperate. We can share information later. Do you really want to fight alongside the bugs?"

Tang Si, the leader of the Dandelion Alliance, stepped in to smooth things over.

He then addressed the Shadow Legion.

"Li Ang, your regimental commander..."

"As you know, the guild leader and lord have special characteristics and have gone to explore the core area first, so I'm the one who has to travel back and forth to see you big shots."

Li Ang immediately looked at Tang Si with a big smile and said.

Seeing Li Ang's flawless answer, Tang Si, who had originally wanted to use the opportunity to make trouble, nodded helplessly.

"Alright, let's get to something useful."

Xiao Yan stood up and looked at the map in front of him.

“Since Jiang Wang says he wants to fight it himself, then let him have the core area in the south, and we’ll split the rest of the area equally.”

Who chooses first?

Xiao Yan looked at the two of them, wanting to act quickly, since time was running out. He had heard from the guide that there were supplies in the core area to help resist the invasion.

Tang Si hesitated for a moment and then chose the west.

Li Ang maintained his smile, having no other choice.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately chose the north.

He then got up to leave.

"Finally, let me say this: whoever gets the supplies keeps them. With the invasion imminent, let's settle all grudges after the invasion. I hope the two leaders can keep their subordinates in check."

He knew about the feud between Jiang Wang and Li Hao.

After saying that, Xiao Yan led his men and left the conference room.

Watching Xiao Yan's retreating figure, a cold glint flashed in Tang Si's eyes. His innate mindset as a strongman made him intolerant of anyone speaking to him like that.

This scene was captured by Li Ang, who had been observing all along.

As combat orders and restrictions were posted on the public screen, Jiang Wang learned about his mission and area.

"These guys are something else."

Looking at the well-organized battle plan, Jiang Wang smiled with satisfaction.

As long as no one bothers me, that's fine.

They then began preparing a strategy plan.

In the alley outside the conference room, Li Ang took out his treasured Zhonghua cigarettes and handed them to Tang Si.

Seeing that Tang Si remained unmoved, he smiled, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
