In the end, Fang Zheng rejected Nanali's request to use fungal mats as raw materials. This thing was really too shameful. If the nutrient solution was handed over to the Holy Kingdom, it would be a military material comparable to nuclear raw materials. The Holy Kingdom would definitely ensure the integrity of the formula for such things. What if they didn't know what was in it, and then asked a legendary prophet to "rewind time" or something...
Wow, how can I have any appetite watching the Zerg spit out fungal carpet?
Although Nanali was a little reluctant, since Fang Zheng said so, she could only nod and agree reluctantly. Fang Zheng asked the two to prepare enough nutrient solution products... He wanted to use this stuff as a gift to the Holy Kingdom, so he couldn't just leave it aside.
After leaving the alchemy workshop, Fang Zheng went to the busiest area in Tiandao Palace - the portal located in the southeast corner.
"Master Fang Zheng!"
Seeing Fang Zheng coming, Mibu Asaka, who was standing in front of the gate holding a katana, hurriedly saluted him, and Fang Zheng nodded to Mibu Asaka. He also had a good impression of this black-haired lolita who was dressed like a samurai. Of course, if this child was not so rigid and stubborn, it might be better.
"Thank you for your hard work, Chaoxia. How is the situation here?"
"Everything is normal. So far, a total of 1,650 cursed children have entered the Tiandao Palace and have undergone purification and adjustment."
So far, Fang Zheng's Tiandao Palace's most important task is to accept the cursed children from the dark world. The cursed children sent from all over the world are ranked according to the erosion rate of the original enterovirus. The cursed children with a high degree of erosion will be given priority to enter the Tiandao Palace, and then be transferred to the insect nest of the Iron Blood World for adjustment and treatment. After the treatment, these cursed children will be informed of the regulations and conditions of the Tiandao Palace, and then study and live here.
It is precisely because of this that the number of people here is the largest. Thousands of cursed children come to the Tiandao Palace every day, and the cursed children who first came to the Tiandao Palace are now responsible for maintaining order here. At the same time, they will also comfort those companions who come here for the first time and are not familiar with what is happening in front of them.
"Ah, Commander!"
At this moment, Rodney's voice was heard not far away. Fang Zheng turned around and found that Haiwu's mental models were standing not far away, waving happily to him. Not only Rodney, but also Iona, Musashi, Kaohsiung and others came here.
"I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Me too...what are you doing here?"
"That's right, father."
Rodney trotted up to Fang Zheng and answered with a smile.
"Yesterday we heard that the portal here leads to a world called Iron Blood, where there is a special tribe that is subservient to you, father, so we want to go and take a look..."
"Of course no problem, come along."
After hearing Musashi's answer, Fang Zheng nodded readily. After all, it was very likely that the Zerg would act together with the Sea Mist Fleet in the future, so it would be good for both sides to know each other better. Just as he was about to turn around and lead everyone to the portal, he saw Rodney reach out, take out a handkerchief from his arms, and wipe the sweat off Fang Zheng's forehead.
"Ah...thank you."
"You are welcome."
Fang Zheng did not seem to be particularly concerned about Rodney's actions. After all, Rodney had done this more than once when he was brushing cores in the Blue World. At first, Fang Zheng was a little uncomfortable with it, but later he got used to it. When he heard Fang Zheng's thanks, Rodney smiled slightly, then took two steps behind and followed Fang Zheng towards the portal.
“Woo…”
Seeing this scene, Tina next to her and Enju Aihara who was hiding not far behind frowned at the same time, and then they looked at each other.
This is a strong enemy...
But at this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly discovered that something happened in the crowd not far away.
“Wu…Wuuuu!!”
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the crowd, and the cursed children around them scattered immediately. Only a cursed child with short black hair was seen lying on the ground, his body shaking constantly.
"Wait, what's going on?!"
Seeing this scene, the girls who were maintaining order around also rushed over hurriedly.
"Has her erosion rate reached fifty percent?"
"How could it be so fast? Wasn't he given a sedative?"
"Anyway, send her to treatment first...it will be too late if she starts to completely transform into a gastrula!"
The children of Tiandao Palace were obviously very familiar with this kind of scene. After discussing with each other, several girls quickly made a decision. Then one of the girls hurriedly carried the black-haired cursed child on her back and rushed towards the portal of the Iron Blood Planet.
"Has this happened a lot lately?"
Seeing these children's skilled and professional movements, it was obviously not the first time they had done this. Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously, and Mibu Asaka who was following him also nodded.
"Yes, sir. The current period is relatively good. Previously, many of our sisters had reached the critical point and could hardly hold on... Fortunately, they still survived, but... the degree of mutation is slightly higher than that of other sisters."
"Is everything all right?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng also frowned. Although Mibu Asaka was very nonchalant, if it exceeded the level of mutation three, it would basically be half human, half beast. For ordinary children, it would probably be difficult to accept.
"It's okay, but..."
Having said this, Mibui Asaka paused for a moment, then stole a glance at Fang Zheng.
"They seem to prefer working under Sister Miluen..."
“…”
Fang Zheng had forgotten that appearance is something that needs to be compared. Even the ugliest person would immediately feel motivated to live if compared with the Zerg...
"Let's go and take a look."
Fang Zheng also wanted to take the mental models to the Iron Blood to check out the situation and see how the cursed children were doing. After all, they were his subordinates, and Fang Zheng was very concerned about his own people. Although the Iron Blood's home planet was suitable for human habitation and life, the living environment was not very friendly, and he didn't know if the cursed children could bear it.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng did not hesitate and led everyone into the portal. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Tiexue's home planet.
“Wow…”
Looking at the planet in front of them, the mental models couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Even Musashi, who usually kept her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked at the scene in surprise. Although she had heard about Fang Zheng's ideas, before seeing it with her own eyes, Musashi was still a little skeptical about what Fang Zheng said.
But now, after seeing this huge planet that was completely different from Earth, she no longer had any doubts about what Fang Zheng said.
"Commander, is this what you call the Zerg?"
"That's right."
Hearing the vampire's excited question, Fang Zheng nodded.
"You will most likely fight alongside them in the future, so don't underestimate them. These insect swarms can cross the universe and are threatening even in space battles. Moreover, when it comes to ground combat, no other race is better than them."
“I can’t believe it…”
Kaohsiung looked at a worker bee circling around him in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"How can these creatures live in space? What kind of body structure do they have..."
"Commander, I hope to communicate with the leaders of these insect swarms. We want to know their abilities and fighting methods..."
To Fang Zheng's surprise, the mental models did not have any aversion to the Zerg's development and fighting methods as Fang Zheng had thought. On the contrary, after listening to Fang Zheng's simple explanation, they seemed to be quite interested in this fighting method. Fang Zheng was a little surprised at first, but he soon figured out the reason - the mental models of the sea fog only borrowed the appearance of humans, which did not mean that they also had human values and moral concepts. On the contrary, these mental models were more likely to evaluate other species from the perspective of weapons.
Because of this, to a certain extent, the tactical ideas of the Zerg and the Sea Mist are actually similar, that is, they do not regard themselves as a life, but as a part of the war.
Of course, this is a good thing for Fang Zheng. After all, the Zerg's fighting style has nothing to do with the word "humanity" in any way. If it were a human army with an overflowing sense of morality, it would probably not be able to cooperate with the Zerg in battle.
And it was here that Fang Zheng finally saw the cursed children who had stayed here and had mutated to an excessive degree.
