The reward for the [Home] mission is a great benefit to Fang Zheng.
The most important thing is, as long as Fang Zheng completes the task, this plane will become a free world like Dark Soul and Cicadas. Once the plane becomes a free world, it means that Fang Zheng can enter and exit this world at will without waiting for the cooldown.
Not only that, after completing this task, Fang Zheng's [Heart of the Swarm] skill is no longer a Soul Stone-exclusive skill, but is fixed on Fang Zheng. This saves Fang Zheng the trouble of having to switch to Kerrigan every time he controls the Zerg. Although Kerrigan's Soul Stone is also quite useful, in many cases, Fang Zheng also needs the abilities of other Soul Stones to fight. If Kerrigan is limited when controlling the Zerg, then the means Fang Zheng can use will be limited.
Once the skill [Heart of the Swarm] is solidified, Fang Zheng will be able to switch soul stones when controlling the swarm - at least he won't be so passive.
Just like in Edge of Tomorrow, after Fang Zheng summoned Milune and the others, he first ordered the worker bees to shoot the base. After all, Zergs are basic in occupying the mines when they are in a dilemma. First get the resources, then blast the troops like crazy, and then pull up a wave of attacks. These are all basic operations.
However, dealing with the Predator is not as simple as dealing with those wire monsters in Edge of Tomorrow. Although the Predator is not strong, it is at least a low-profile version of the Protoss, with complete air and ground forces. To deal with such an enemy, you must think carefully. First explore, at least figure out the opponent's layout, and then think about whether to use a wave of dragon dogs or F2A.
After some investigation, Fang Zheng finally figured out the general situation of the planet.
Just like what is described in the movie, this planet is the hunting ground or playground of the Iron Blood Warriors. Because of this, the security of this planet is not particularly strict. According to the reconnaissance results of the Zerg, the Iron Blood Warriors on this planet only built a main building for them to rest and park their spacecraft, as well as some protective facilities. Apart from that, there is nothing else. However, considering the tradition of the Iron Bloods that everyone is a soldier, it really doesn't make much sense to build those warning facilities.
Not only that, according to the Zerg's report, the Iron Blood Warriors have more than just Big Nose and his people as their playground on this planet. In fact, during the reconnaissance, the Zerg discovered hundreds of humans in succession. They were all captured from Earth by the Iron Blood Warriors and thrown onto this planet. However, the distribution of these humans is also very interesting. Some of them were thrown into the Gobi Desert, some were even sent to the ice and snow, and some were sent to a small island.
In addition to humans, these Iron Bloods also captured various alien creatures, many of which had very strange and ingenious abilities... Well, for the Zerg, these are simply the best prey.
It seems that these iron warriors hone their skills by fighting these creatures in different environments... Of course, for humans, this is tragic.
Compared to those who were thrown into the desert or next door, the treatment of the protagonists like Big Nose was quite good. After all, it was a tropical area, so there was no need to worry about freezing to death or dying of thirst...
Fang Zheng also figured out the patterns of action of these iron-blooded warriors.
They would first arrive on the planet in a mothership, then land at the gathering point in their own small spaceships. These Iron-blooded Warriors would choose the area they wished to "play" in, and then they would be divided into teams of three, and take their hounds to the "playground" to start hunting. Fang Zheng did not know whether the Iron-blooded Warriors had points or rankings, but in his opinion, these Iron-blooded Warriors did not seem to care about these. They were simply honing their skills and fighting with the humans who were captured here, so as to gain the reactions and experience they should have when facing various attacks in various environments and scenarios.
Fortunately, according to Fang Zheng's observation, the areas of the Iron Blood Warriors are divided. If a three-person team has entered an area to hunt, then other teams will not choose this area. Unless the three-person team fails in hunting and dies, or leaves after hunting successfully, others will enter this area to start hunting.
If Fang Zheng's memory was correct, the ones responsible for hunting in this area were the Lion, Elephant and Eagle trio from the movie. Oh, no, he had already killed one before, which meant there were only two left now.
But... none of this has anything to do with me.
In the world of Edge of Tomorrow, Fang Zheng chose to act in secret because the mission restricted his faction and he was afraid of scaring humans. But in this world, there are no missions restricting factions. So Fang Zheng did it without hesitation.
Although Fang Zheng has not had time to build too many bases in this land, the troops he accumulated in Edge of Tomorrow were not accumulated in vain. Before leaving the Edge of Tomorrow world, Fang Zheng stuffed all his Zerg troops into the Leviathan and sent them into the universe. And now, through the portal opened by the Dimension Code, these Zerg troops have returned again!
Fang Zheng did not immediately go looking for trouble with Tiexue. For him, completely occupying this planet was the most important thing. If he occupied the mine and sent a large number of soldiers to attack, then he would not be afraid of anyone!
Of course, that’s what he said...but in fact, Fang Zheng had no idea how to do it.
In the world of Edge of Tomorrow, Fang Zheng chose to control the Zerg himself because he knew the enemy would return. Moreover, the battles in the world of Edge of Tomorrow were still within Fang Zheng's understanding. However, in the world of Predator, Fang Zheng knew nothing about the cosmic war. After all, in the world before his rebirth, humans had not yet colonized the moon, so how could he have such high-end interstellar war experience?
So... Fang Zheng simply became a hands-off boss and handed everything over to Miluen. He planned to take a good look at how the Zerg waged war in the universe.
And under Miluen's command, a storm is about to set off across the entire planet.
The worker bees quietly spread out, riding on the Overlord to search for resources in every corner of the planet. They began to spread silently in all directions of the planet, and the tunnel worms also began to dig holes underground to connect the various bases. After obtaining the resources, the hives began to spread wildly in all directions. They did not hide their desire to devour everything at all, just like a virus, and began to devour the entire planet crazily.
And all this... finally attracted the attention of the Predator.
Night falls.
A small mechanical falcon spread its wings and flew quickly into the depths of the jungle. It was searching for prey, just like a hound raised by a hunter, searching for traces and then... reporting.
Scanned by infrared vision, the rainforest was completely dark. But just as the mechanical falcon was about to return home, suddenly, a large area of bright red appeared in front of its eyes!
What is that?
The mechanical falcon was not surprised. It quickly changed direction and headed towards the depths of the jungle again. But before it could see the bright red clearly, suddenly, accompanied by a sharp scream, countless needles shot out from the bottom of the mechanical falcon and completely blew it up!
"Bang!!"
With a slight sound, the mechanical falcon exploded instantly and turned into a pile of scrap copper and iron.
“…”
At the same time, in the distant camp, an iron warrior wearing a falcon mask stood up and looked into the distance with a serious expression. Just now, he sent his mechanical falcon to search for his missing companions, but he did not expect to make an unexpected discovery. However, his mechanical falcon was destroyed before he could figure out what it was?
Recalling the scene that the mechanical falcon had just transmitted back with infrared vision, the Iron Blood Warrior was also somewhat confused. All the "prey" on this planet were captured by them from various planets, and the Iron Blood Warrior also knew about these creatures. But...what was that just now?
Thinking of this, the Iron Warrior blew a whistle immediately. Soon, with the sound of his whistle, the "hounds" that were lying around the Iron Warrior stood up one after another. These "hounds" looked like skinned wild dogs, but unlike wild dogs, they were covered with sharp bone spurs, which made them look extremely ferocious. With the Iron Warrior's order, these hounds immediately ran into the jungle and rushed towards the direction where the mechanical falcon fell.
However, not long after the hounds left, the Iron-Blooded Warrior suddenly heard the howling of the hounds in the distance, but after a moment, the hounds no longer responded!
“…”
Realizing this, the Iron Warrior looked around vigilantly. He whistled again, but this time, he did not get a response from the hounds.
“Swish!!”
Sensing that the situation was not good, the Iron Blood wearing the falcon mask immediately waved his hands, and the sharp blades popped out from his arms. At the same time, the shoulder cannon on his body began to rotate left and right. The Iron Blood Warrior turned around, quickly switching between various scanning methods, and looked vigilantly at the jungle around him. At the same time, another Iron Blood Warrior wearing an elephant mask beside him was also ready for battle and looked around.
I don’t know if it was the influence of the wind or some other reason, but at this moment the bushes in the dark night were emitting a rustling sound, as if something was moving through them.
Just as the Iron Blood Warrior switched to the infrared scanning mode again, dozens of bright red sources of life light suddenly jumped out from the grass and pounced on them!
