Chapter 404: Zerg Encounter

At this moment, several investigators suddenly felt something and looked into the distance.

There were several reconnaissance insects from the Zerg army that climbed up from the edge of the cliff. Their flying speed was extremely fast, almost comparable to that of a small fighter jet.

These reconnaissance Fei Lians gently placed the locust on the ground, called out "Bo Bo", and then activated their "invisibility" abilities one after another.

"Oh... you ate the bugs here and also gained the ability to become invisible?" Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

In the past, only a few species of insects were able to become invisible, but now everyone can do it.

The captured locust, after losing its restraints, suddenly jumped and rushed towards Professor Lu Tiantian who was nearby.

Everyone was anxious, thinking that an attack on a national treasure-level professor was no joke, and they all reached out to stop it.

But something strange happened. The locust seemed to be attacked by some invisible force. It lost its strength halfway through its jump and lay on the ground, struggling weakly.

In the blink of an eye, more air is exhaled than inhaled.

"What happened? Why did he die?"

Everyone came to their senses and studied the locust for a long time, but could not come to any conclusion.

"Let me try."

Colonel Guo Dafeng activated his own frost field, a light frost appeared in the air, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

Countless pieces of information were gathered in his mind.

Gradually, he sensed the insect's heartbeat, breathing, and... a faint flow of spiritualism.

"The idealistic rules of the insect are being squeezed by this mountain...that's why its vitality is constantly draining away."

Guo Dafeng frowned, "Is it possible that this mountain and this crack are a man-made cage? All the insects here are imprisoned. Once they escape from the crack, they will slowly die."

Lu Yuan was shocked: "What about the Zerg fighters on our side? Are they also imprisoned?"

Guo Dafeng sensed the Zerg sickle for a moment and responded: "The warrior did not sense the mutual repulsion... It may be that the underlying genes are different. Our Zerg has the genes of the Green Civilization."

"The genes here are different. I don't know what it is."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and threw the dying locust to the side of the cliff.

The locust slowly regained its vitality and just as it was about to struggle to get up, it was captured by the reconnaissance sickle again.

This happened several times in a row.

Once out of that crack environment, it will become weak.

This fact is really shocking, which means that there is a high probability that these two mountains and the crack in between are man-made!

This interstellar civilization-level project can only be described as "grand" and "magnanimous". Even the former industrial Cthulhu "Great East Kingdom" could not accomplish it even in 10,000 years! In the past, experts on Earth once suggested using hydrogen bombs to open a hole in the Himalayas, so that the monsoon from the Indian Ocean could bring precipitation to the northwest region and improve the northwest climate - but the problem is that human technology cannot do it!

How could a hydrogen bomb blow a hole? You must be kidding. It can't even blow a crack! What's more, if the source of the Ganges is destroyed, the three Indians will definitely be furious.

And now... the amount of engineering work on this mountain far exceeds that of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The engineering capabilities of this super civilization are definitely 10,000 or even 100 million times greater than those of the Earth civilization in the past! A biological expert suddenly slapped his head and said, "If this is true, it means that we are quite safe here... We can do scientific research without worrying about these insects breaking out of their cages and attacking the human base camp."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"As for reconnaissance, the Zerg here should be able to sneak in as well. We can camouflage their smell or something. This place is so chaotic anyway... If they can find the queen, that would be the best. If not, they can help us dig some minerals."

"Wow!"

The scouts seemed to understand and screamed wildly.

Even the sky fortress was begging "Bilibili". It wanted to eat meat and these juicy insects.

Lu Yuan was a little worried that these loyal guys would die.

They are more loyal than humans. If one dies, it means one less... We can't bear to let them go.

Professor Lu Tiantian, who knew the Zerg best, seemed to see Lu Yuan's dilemma and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. The Zerg here have excellent genes and many opportunities. They are already at a high level. Here they have abundant food sources and may be able to evolve again..."

Yes, the Zerg on the human side are really lucky.

They grow from the poppy tree and eat parts of it.

Their innate foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary insects.

It also fused the genes of the Green Man, ate fire-attributed ore, and even drank a drop of blood from the [Ghost]!

This is definitely a great opportunity!

As for the bugs here, staying here for a lifetime is like the difference between regular army and bandits.

"The evolution of the Zerg should require the genes of the strong and time..."

"The bugs here don't have genes, so it's hard to say whether they are strong, but they probably won't be too smart."

Guo Dafeng also nodded in agreement: "I think it is a suitable choice to open up the wasteland here. We can easily deal with the group that came here... We can even deal with them with simple cold weapons. Hot weapons are still too expensive."

"We also have Zerg here, like the Leviathan and the Mammoth, which are all well-trained ones... Let them kill freely and devour some bugs. Maybe they can develop the ability to become invisible."

Lu Yuan listened to their discussion and finally made up his mind. He turned around and spoke to the scouts.

"Okay, then you guys should be careful in your investigation. It's important to protect your own life. Don't die because of being too greedy."

"Waaaa!" The scouts waved their sickles.

The "Sky Fortress" that wanted to fly was stopped by Lu Yuan: "It has nothing to do with you. You are so big, are you going to jump down and die?"

"Sky Fortress" howled continuously, as if a little aggrieved. It was kicked several times in a row before it calmed down.

This is indeed a difficult decision...

If the information is wrong, the whole clan may be wiped out.

Even if the Greedy Demon's combat power is indeed very high, the behavior patterns of those insects remain an unsolved mystery.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

However, if humans can find the queen...what does that mean?

That is indeed a huge benefit - control and reproduction of the Zerg!

Although the Zerg warriors on the human side are good, obedient and love to work, there are only 1,500 of them, all of whom are elites given by the Conch Mother.

Quality is more important than quantity. These 1,500 insects helped humans overcome many difficulties.

But the problem is that these Zerg warriors cannot reproduce, and Lu Yuan feels sad for a long time when one of them dies.

Especially after many wars, the Zerg lost more than a hundred.

This problem cannot be solved even if biology becomes more advanced.

Because these 1,500 Zerg warriors are part of the anomaly [insects], its rules themselves are incomplete - it is simply a fantasy for humans to want to complete the rules and help them reproduce.

Only the queen has complete rules.

"If we can 'control' the queen, what will happen? Can the dead Zerg warriors be resurrected?"

"Can Leviathan be cloned?" Lu Yuan thought to himself. All the bodies of the dead Zerg were placed in the tiankeng, frozen.

So he whispered, "Everyone, since we have made up our minds to explore, let's take action. This is an opportunity for us, but also a huge challenge! We must find out the true combat power of these guys."

Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "First of all, we need to investigate whether there are any surviving civilizations in this abyss."

"As long as there are survivors, we can find out the specific information of the Zerg."

"At the same time, we need to capture more biological specimens, but this requires elite soldiers and officers above level seven!"

22 level seven grand masters stepped out from the team.

"You lead the elite troops to capture the biological specimens alive. Be careful to only move on the shallow surface and do not go deep into the rifts."

"yes!"

After arranging the tasks, everyone quickly set off in high spirits.

The 22 seventh-level grandmasters were divided into 22 teams and headed in different directions.

This rift is too big, with cliffs, caves, mountains, rifts, and extremely complex structures. 22 teams are not too many. Each team also has 5 scouts as scouts.

Lu Yuan continued to guard the camp, waiting for their news.

These scientists are all national treasures, so it would be safer for him to stay here.

At the same time, they communicated with the base camp in the rear, requiring them to be prepared for battle at all times and provide more support work.

"Yes, this abyss is full of Zerg..."

"They are not the bugs here, but wild anomalies [bugs]... Send some more engineers over, we want to build a front-line reconnaissance fortress here. The Zerg army is also sent over, there are some experiments to be done."

Lao Mao naturally knew that the matter was urgent and quickly arranged the work in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the Sky Fortress transported various cement, steel bars, and insects from the rear in batches.

Relying on the mountain, the engineering team built a large concrete fortress as quickly as possible, like a dam blocking the two mountains.

If the bugs really come out in droves, this large fortress can attract firepower and cover the escape of the Sky City 6,000 kilometers away... Well, this is indeed a very conservative measure. You know, 6,000 kilometers is equivalent to the distance from Heilongjiang to Zengmu Shoal! Moreover, if the bugs escape, they will be weakened by this "irregular" mountain.

But people have to do it, because the Zerg are a very unique species. Once the queen gives an order, all her subjects will charge forward fearlessly.
