Chapter 65: Growing Mushrooms in Nests “I believe there is always…
"I believe that one day we will wipe them out," said another adjutant.
Qian Jin asked, "If the Zerg become extinct one day, what are you going to do?"
"I might retire and become a painter. I have always loved painting since I was a child," said an adjutant.
"I might travel to various galaxies. I came here after graduating from military school and haven't been to other galaxies much." said another adjutant.
General Li was in a good mood and said, "I might go back to live an ordinary life with my wife and children."
"What about March?" Qian Jin asked.
"As for me, I might plant plants on all the barren planets." Su Sanyue said.
As they were chatting, General Li suddenly received a communication saying that the Zerg nest hovering near the Second Legion had moved, and there was no insect left in the nest.
"They've moved again?" Qian Jin asked, "Why is it so fast this time?"
"Has the First Legion also moved?" asked the adjutant.
"Yes, but it attacked three times, and each time it failed to return, so it moved away," Qian Jin said.
Su Sanyue asked, "Can we pursue the victory?"
It is possible to pursue the victory, but the Zerg are not fools. If you are not careful, you will be discovered, and if you are discovered, there is basically no way to survive.
But the more Su Sanyue thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Her Zerg could disguise themselves and use their tentacles to communicate with uncontracted Zerg, which would then relay information to her.
She can follow the Zerg quietly, learn their next move, send back the message, and even find time to contract more Zerg.
"My Zerg can camouflage," Su Sanyue said. "I can hide in their bellies."
"No!" Qian Jin and others said in unison.
The importance of Su Sanyue is self-evident. She dares to go out alone, but they are not so kind-hearted. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret. There is no second Su Sanyue in the world.
"As the Zerg migrate, we can slowly expand the front line outward, but we must not act impulsively!" said General Li.
Su Sanyue had no choice but to agree and promised them that she would not run around.
After General Li and his men left, Qian Jin smiled and told Su Sanyue about the vegetable cooperation he had negotiated with the Second Corps on his behalf.
Su Sanyue nodded. She believed that the Second Legion would not miss such an opportunity. Her vegetables were in short supply now.
After dealing with Qian Jin, Su Sanyue promised the others that he would not take any risks. Then he turned around and used the function of the portal in Chunfeng Shop. He spent several thousand kilograms of mutant potatoes and came to the camp abandoned by the Zerg alone.
This camp is not far from the Second Legion, only one galaxy away.
The entire camp was originally supposed to be a planet or fragments of several planets, which were moved together by the Zerg and are several times larger than ordinary planets.
But it is not round. Instead, it is like an enlarged version of an ant nest, with holes and passages everywhere, high and low, and no plants on it.
Su Sanyue looked at the strangely shaped planet and stepped into the hole.
The system scanned the entire planet and transformed all the channels inside into a miniature 3D model, displaying it in front of Su Sanyue.
There was indeed no Zerg left inside. Su Sanyue summoned a vanguard Zerg and sat on its back as they walked deeper into the lair.
"This nest looks very suitable for growing mushrooms." Su Sanyue said.
The nest is dark, moist, warm, and well-ventilated, making it an excellent place to grow fungi.
"Host, your idea is good. This place can indeed be used as a breeding ground for fungi." The system turned into a ball of light, floating in front of Su Sanyue, illuminating the passage inside the nest.
The vanguard Zerg were very fast. Su Sanyue arrived at the first place in the nest, which looked like a warehouse. There were various limbs and skeletons left in it, some of which belonged to the Zerg and some to humans.
Su Sanyue looked around and saw nothing else, so she directed the vanguard Zerg to continue moving inside.
The next place they arrived at was the place where the insect eggs were placed. There were still dozens of oval white insect eggs left that had not been taken away.
Su Sanyue jumped off the back of the Vanguard Zerg, came to the front of the eggs, and raised his hand to place them on them.
"Host, these insect eggs are still alive." said the system.
Su Sanyue frowned. She had seen on the battlefield that a Zerg Queen gave birth to a complete ordinary Zerg that could be put into battle directly. So what were these Zerg eggs?
"Host, the ordinary Zerg born on the battlefield have very low stats, equivalent to cannon fodder. They are forced to mature, and there is no possibility of them improving any further. The Zerg born through egg cultivation are stronger, and can be considered the main force. Their stats can also be improved through eating." said the system.
It seems that the Zerg raised by Lin Ziqi must have been the eggs in the abandoned nests that were taken away and sold to Lin Ziqi, which is how the Zerg on that planet came into being.
Su Sanyue directly ordered the pioneer Zerg to eat all the eggs, and then continued to explore downwards.
Then they passed through some empty spaces (Su Sanyue guessed that they were the Zerg dormitories), and finally came to the place where the Zerg Queen lived at the bottom.
There were originally two insect queens in this nest, both of whom were contracted by Su Sanyue and are now working in the fields.
The place where the insect queen lives is located at the bottom of the nest, which is the size of an airport and is separated by a wall in the middle.
"Not bad, not bad. The harvest of mushrooms grown here will definitely be very good. Then this nest will belong to me." Su Sanyue looked at the densely packed passages and the vast space, feeling very satisfied.
Su Sanyue exchanged a lot of suitable mushroom species in the system mall and scattered their spores in various channels of the nest.
After exploring the Zerg nest, Su Sanyue had a better understanding of the structure of the Zerg nest. At the same time, after she returned, she immediately sent a Zerg queen and a hundred ordinary Zergs to the nest to plant mushrooms.
The spores had already been sown, and all she had to do was wait for the mushrooms to grow. She sent the Zerg to take care of the environment, and also to prevent uncontracted Zerg from returning and destroying her mushrooms.
After the spores were spread, Su Sanyue's data increased significantly. It seemed that the system recognized Su Sanyue's mushroom cultivation method.
Su Sanyue reported to General Li, then turned around and set his sights on the nest of the First Legion.
General Li called in a deafening voice, "When did you go wandering around in Chaoxue again? What did we just tell you?!"
"It's an empty nest, there's no danger, and I brought the Zerg with me." Su Sanyue said.
General Li's blood pressure skyrocketed. He asked, "How do you know there's no danger? What if the Zerg return?"
Su Sanyue knew that he was concerned about her, so she quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake. General Li made a big fuss but did nothing, and ordered Su Sanyue to reflect on her mistakes on the planet and not to go anywhere.
Su Sanyue had no plans to go anywhere for the time being, but directly contacted Lan Bai in the First Legion and explained the usefulness of the vacant nest.
"How do you know that mushrooms can be grown in the nest? The Second Legion actually asked you to explore the nest?!" Lan Bai's face instantly turned bad, and he gritted his teeth.
Su Sanyue quickly said, "No, no, the Second Legion won't let me go either."
"Are you secretly taking risks again?" Lan Bai asked.
Su Sanyue muttered, "It's not really a risk."
Xuan Ji had just returned from the fields, his face covered in dirt. He said to Su Sanyue, "The cabbages and radishes in the fields are mostly ripe, and we can start picking them."
When Su Sanyue heard this, she quickly said, "Grandma Lan, don't forget about growing mushrooms. I have other things to do. Let's talk next time."
With Xuan Ji's help and the addition of system fertilizers, the juicy vegetables quickly matured.
Su Sanyue quickly contacted one of General Li's adjutants and asked them to drive a starship to transport the goods, while she directed the Zerg to start harvesting. After harvesting, they would continue to level the land and sow seeds and plant.
Su Sanyue's vegetables also caused a sensation in the Second Legion and were sought after by countless soldiers.
General Li did not expect that the vegetables grown by Su Sanyue would taste so good. He was very surprised, but also very fortunate that he did not refuse when Qian Jin asked for cooperation.
Half a month later, the vegetables grown by Su Sanyue were enough to fully supply the Second Legion, and the Second Legion no longer signed a supply contract with the Lin family.
A month later, through Tianji's secret investigation, countless undiscovered clues were connected and directly handed over to the Central Court.
Once the evidence was released, it caused an uproar on Starnet.
Raising insects, disregarding human lives, illegal acquisitions...
Even its largest agricultural planting industry has collapsed because it used excessive ripening agents, which can be harmful to the body if consumed in excess.
"They're actually raising Zerg? Did the Lin family get kicked in the head by a donkey? They had a good hand, but they turned around and overturned the table."
"We absolutely cannot let them go! The war with the Zerg is so intense on the front lines, people are dying at the hands of the Zerg every day, and he actually raises Zerg. This is tantamount to betraying humanity!"
"This chain of evidence is shocking to me. The Lin family is simply lawless. They actually killed so many people silently!"
"One of my neighbors suddenly went bankrupt. Overnight, his father committed suicide by jumping off a building. His mother became bedridden and accrued huge debts. His experience was very similar to that of these victims."
"Even the vegetables are problematic. My family has always eaten vegetables and fruits from the Lin family. What should I do? Do you want to take my whole family to get checked out?"
“…”
Everyone on Starnet was buzzing with discussion. Meanwhile, Tianji had compiled evidence against all those involved in illegal transactions with the Lin family and those who had accepted bribes, and submitted it to the Central Court.
Tianji is an artificial intelligence that does not care about human feelings but only about the law. Therefore, the Lin family's filial piety etiquette is useless in front of Tianji.
Countless robot police officers were dispatched to arrest suspects, and all members of the Lin family were imprisoned.
The families of those harmed by the Lin family were also notified to attend this trial.
