The Zerg's expansion was faster than Fang Zheng had imagined.
Fang Zheng chose to summon the Zerg in the world of Edge of Tomorrow because he wanted to try out the Soul Stone and see how the Zerg would proliferate in such a world. The Zerg in the game need resources such as crystal ore and high-energy gas to develop. But there is definitely no such thing on the Earth in this world, so can the Zerg still develop?
As it turns out, this is no problem at all.
After the experiment, Fang Zheng was surprised to find that the Zerg didn't need crystal ore or high-energy gas at all. And unlike in the game, the Zerg here would not do nothing and wait for Fang Zheng to find the minerals before transforming and collecting them. On the contrary, the Zerg worker bees would actively search for the resources they needed, and once they found the resources they thought were useful, they would report to Fang Zheng through telepathy, and after Fang Zheng nodded, they would immediately start collecting these resources.
Out of curiosity, Fang Zheng had also seen the minerals they collected, and found that these Zergs were not picky about anything, from coal, copper, iron ore to oil and natural gas, as long as they could be used, they would collect everything and pack it away. Fang Zheng was quite surprised when he saw this scene at first, but after hearing Miluen's explanation, he understood. What the Zerg need is energy, but energy itself is only a certain amount, and there is no particularly obvious difference. The limited crystal ore and high-energy gas in the game are probably design requirements, but the Zerg in reality are obviously not so picky. As long as they can generate energy, they don't care about anything else.
So at this time Fang Zheng finally understood why the Zerg in that world never worried about resource shortages and consumption, but simply solved the problem with a wave of F2A. If the Zerg were really not so picky about food, then it would be understandable that they developed so quickly and became so powerful.
The development of the Zerg was going smoothly. There were several mines in the outer forest, but perhaps because of the battle with the aliens, these mines were basically abandoned. So Fang Zheng did not hesitate to order the worker bees to occupy these mines and start collecting resources. Soon, larvae hatched from the nests, and various Zerg buildings began to be quietly built in the forest.
However, Fang Zheng was not very reassured about this, because he still remembered that the big boss in "Edge of Tomorrow" could reload the save file. What if it resets, would he have to start from the beginning again?
Fortunately, Milune, the Zerg Queen, gave Fang Zheng a good suggestion. She suggested that Fang Zheng kill some mimic aliens. In this way, as long as the Zerg can obtain the flesh and blood of these mimic aliens, they can obtain their unique power by devouring and adjusting their genes. Although these mimic aliens are powerful, I guess that ability cannot affect them.
Thinking about it carefully, Fang Zheng found that what Miluen said made sense. It was true that the alien boss could manipulate time, but it seemed that its ability did not affect its own soldiers. After all, aliens could not appear out of thin air. If the aliens had to start from scratch every time they loaded the game, then their number would definitely not be so large. Especially since the alien boss had already controlled most of Europe, it would be very troublesome if it had to re-produce soldiers every time it reset.
On the other hand, if the alien creatures are not affected by it, then their numbers will increase every time the time is reset. Considering that the alien creatures have already overused the ability to manipulate time, it is not impossible that they will use this as the core to play snowball.
Of course, all of this is just speculation at the moment, but it doesn't matter. Fang Zheng has already received news that humans will set foot on the west coast of France in two days to launch a full-scale counterattack against aliens. This also means the beginning of the plot of "Edge of Tomorrow". If he can get alien genes before this, then no matter how many times Tom Cruise reloads the game, it will not affect him.
And now...
"Let the hunt begin."
Looking at the abandoned town in front of him, Fang Zheng muttered to himself, then he walked in quickly.
The aliens' offensive became more and more fierce. Fang Zheng was not in the small town he had traveled through, but in an abandoned town on the front line. Although those alien creatures were very cruel and cunning, human greed was no less than that. Fang Zheng had heard more than once in the bar that some people would sneak into these abandoned places and look for some expensive things to sell. Of course, the danger was also very high, after all, those aliens usually hid underground and rarely showed up.
It seems that when fighting these guys, you need to get some eye worms to counter-stealth.
With all sorts of thoughts running through his mind, Fang Zheng walked into the town. This place had been completely destroyed by the war, and only large tracts of ruins could be seen. However, Fang Zheng did not care. He now had the psionic ability of the Blade Queen, and could easily sense the energy fluctuations around him. Therefore, Fang Zheng soon discovered that there were several life forms hiding in the ruins not far away.
Are you over there?
Holding up the pistol, Fang Zheng walked cautiously towards the front of the ruins. He got this pistol from those hooligans who had died tragically. Since it wouldn't be of any use to the dead, it was a good bargain for him.
Three meters, two meters, one meter.
"boom!!"
Just as Fang Zheng was passing by the ruins, the collapsed house beside him suddenly exploded, and then a monster rushed out from it.
It was a very strange thing, it looked like a bunch of cables, forming a four-legged beast-like monster. Although it was huge, its speed was as fast as a cheetah. It pounced on Fang Zheng at its fastest speed, and the cables behind it condensed into two tentacles and stabbed at him.
If Fang Zheng was just an ordinary person, this blow would be enough to penetrate his body and turn him into a dead body. However, Fang Zheng, who had mastered the psionic energy, was obviously not so easy to kill. Facing the alien creature rushing towards him, he waved his right hand, and soon a psionic shock wave shot out from Fang Zheng's hand, hitting the huge body of the alien creature and knocking it away. At the same time, Fang Zheng turned around and ran without hesitation.
“Roar! Roar!”
Although it suffered a heavy blow, the monster was not killed. It flipped over and climbed up with its incomplete body, roaring and chasing Fang Zheng. Along with the monster's roar, two more alien monsters jumped out from the side, one on the left and one on the right, trying to block Fang Zheng's way.
But Fang Zheng's speed was beyond the imagination of these alien monsters. A blue light flashed on his body, and the next moment he suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared out of thin air behind the two alien monsters. Seeing this scene, the two alien monsters were also stunned, as if they did not expect that this human could have such a strange power. However, their reaction was not slow, and they quickly turned around and followed closely. At the same time, the tentacles on their backs were raised again, and then a dazzling light condensed, and then energy bombs shot out from them.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
Energy bombs as big as cannonballs exploded around Fang Zheng's body, but under the protection of the psionic shield, he did not suffer any damage. While Fang Zheng was running wildly, he secretly calculated the strength of these alien creatures.
They seem to have only this one form, but in this form, the alien monsters are omnipotent, they can attack from a distance or close range, and can attack from the air or the ground, and can be regarded as a jack of all trades. However, their bodies are not hard, and it can be seen from the fact that human bullets can easily tear their bodies apart in the movie that these alien monsters are very fragile.
But the Zerg seem to be not much different.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng glanced at the three figures chasing him closely behind him, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The next moment, a blue light flashed, and then Fang Zheng disappeared into thin air.
"——?"
Realizing that their prey had suddenly disappeared, the three alien monsters stopped moving forward in surprise. They waved their tentacles and looked around vigilantly.
These alien monsters only now realized that they had entered the forest in order to track the human being. They hesitated for a moment, then turned around and wanted to leave.
But Fang Zheng obviously didn't bring them here to play hide-and-seek.
“Crash!”
Just as the three alien monsters turned around, the ground around them suddenly rose up, and then one by one, hydralisks leaped out and pounced on the enemies in front of them.
A battle between aliens and aliens begins.
