Su Bai's eyes lit up, and a faint excitement rose in his heart. "If the alien insect genes can really be integrated with the ants on Earth and used by my insect swarm, then they will surely play an unparalleled and enormous role."
After all, no matter what, the number of ants and other such creatures on Earth is terrifying.
Although they are currently small and cannot exert much power, once they are modified by the alien genes, they will inevitably be greatly enhanced.
Originally, ants could lift objects that were ten, dozens, or even hundreds of times their own weight.
Once they are genetically enhanced by the Zerg, their power will be terrifying.
“This blue planet is truly amazing, to have evolved such strange and wonderful species.” Niyadra seemed somewhat surprised.
“Yes, although there are no behemoth-like species with overwhelming combat power on this planet, every creature is unparalleled and very unique,” Su Bai said quickly without hesitation.
“When shall we return to the Land of Redemption?” Niyadra asked.
“After a while, I will return to the Land of Redemption.” Su Bai paused, then changed the subject: “However, you need to stay on Earth and take charge of strengthening and transforming the ant race.”
"Stay on Earth the whole time?" Niyadra seemed somewhat surprised.
“This planet is where I was born and raised, and it’s where my roots are. So it’s more convenient for me to get things done when you’re on Earth,” Su Bai explained.
"I see."
Niyadra nodded.
She always obeyed Su Bai's will unconditionally.
"But be careful, while you're on Earth, you must stay hidden and not be discovered by anyone else." Su Bai raised his voice slightly to emphasize, "In particular, you must not leak even a single word about using the Zerg genes to modify and strengthen the Ant Clan."
As the saying goes, caution is the best policy.
Su Bai naturally understood that what he was about to do was absolutely horrifying on Earth.
If the news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar and shake up countries all over the world.
Therefore, Su Bai needs to be discreet.
Especially during the current experimental phase, we must be extremely careful and not let any country or force discover it, not even China.
Because of China's large population, it is inevitable that some foreign spies will be mixed in.
Therefore, keeping it a secret from the Dragon Kingdom was a last resort.
If the renovation is already completed in the future, then there will be no need to hide it.
Because at that time, with these powerful ant soldiers, they will be able to sweep across every country on Earth.
Faced with absolute power, nothing else seems so important.
"Yes, sir!"
Niyadra nodded emphatically: "I will be careful and conduct the experiments in secret, and I will never let any outside forces discover them."
"By the way, how long do you expect this experiment to take?" Su Bai asked.
"I am quite familiar with the application of genes, but I would not say I am an expert, so it may take a year or even longer."
As she spoke, Niyadra added, "However, the success rate is guaranteed. I estimate there's a 99% chance of success. After all, the fusion of the ant race's and the Zerg's genes is indeed quite high."
"That's excellent."
Su Bai nodded slightly: "Once you're hiding on Earth, you can focus on your experiments. I'll be waiting for your good news."
At this moment, Su Bai couldn't help but think of the evolution master Abathur, whose use of Zerg genes was already consummate.
If Abathur were present, the modification and enhancement of the ant tribe's genes could likely be completed more efficiently and quickly.
"I guarantee to complete the task and will not let you down."
"You are leading the swarm of insects alone to carry out covert experiments on Earth. This period of time must be very difficult for you."
"For you, for the Zerg, it is only right that I put in any amount of effort."
Niyadra's gaze was intense, and he appeared very serious.
"I hope that when we meet again, it will be when the swarm of insects and ant soldiers have swept across the entire Earth." Su Bai looked around at the insect swarm, his eyes sparkling.
...
...
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
Return to the land of redemption.
Day 1 to go.
"Su Bai, are you sure you want the Purifier, along with your hero, to lead the rest of the forces back to the Land of Redemption?"
Guo Jing stood at the satellite launch site, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes."
Su Bai nodded and said, "On Earth, my forces are not many."
"While they can withstand attacks from ordinary bullets and shells, they are somewhat powerless against heavy missiles, as well as bombardments from aircraft and heavy artillery."
"If we stay on Earth, it will only arouse the suspicion of countries around the world."
"So I decided to send them aboard the Purifier back to the Land of Redemption."
Su Bai decided to tell Guo Jing and the Longguo military a white lie.
His words and his plans are all designed to mislead the world.
To develop quietly and then make a name for oneself – that's the effect Su Bai truly wanted.
When the time comes, the Dragon Kingdom will probably be very pleasantly surprised.
Other countries, especially the United States, Japan, the United States, India, etc., would probably be greatly alarmed.
"Child, I never imagined you would think so much about the country." Guo Jing said with a sigh, a hint of emotion in his eyes.
He just felt that Su Bai was sometimes too sensible.
Keep in mind, Su Bai has only just turned 18 this year!
While their peers were still on Earth, living carefree lives.
Su Bai has already gone to the Land of Redemption, where he lives a life of extreme hardship and danger, facing death at the hands of many.
Guo Jing couldn't help but sigh again, "Su Bai is truly a once-in-a-century genius."
"But why did you apply to start a global live stream?" Wang Zhenguo stood aside, looking puzzled, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"The reason I applied for a global live broadcast is because I want other countries to see that my Purifier and the Zerg army have left Earth, so that they can lower their guard against our Dragon Kingdom."
Su Bai paused for a moment, then continued, "Otherwise, if the United Nations, led by the United States, unites with countries around the world to launch a unified sanction against our Dragon Country, the situation will be very troublesome."
"Although China has received national awards multiple times, its overall strength is only comparable to that of the United States alone."
"If we take the whole world as our enemy, that's not enough. So keeping a low profile for now will give the Dragon Kingdom more opportunities to develop."
Upon hearing these words, Guo Jing, Wang Zhenguo, and the ordinary soldiers on the field all expressed their deep admiration for Su Bai.
After all, young people like Su Bai, who consider the nation's size and the big picture so much, are truly rare.
At this moment, the live streaming equipment has been turned on.
In a short period of time, the number of people has already increased to over 2 billion.
People from all over the world, including China, the United States, Japan, and India, flocked to the live stream.
The reason why his popularity rose so quickly was that Su Bai had the official Dragon Kingdom team promote the show for a week before the live stream started.
After seeing that the popularity of the live stream had basically stabilized.
Su Bai strode into the frame.
He waved his hand and said, "Board the ship, my troops! Let's meet in the Land of Redemption!"
Niyadra led the swarm aboard the Purifier.
As the world watched, the Purifier's hatch slowly closed, and like an arrow released from a bow, it soared straight into the blue sky.
Ten seconds later.
The Purifier flew out of the atmosphere and disappeared completely into the high sky.
The viewers in the live stream instantly erupted into a heated discussion.
[Yoshi! Although I don't know how Su Bai's troops appeared on Earth, they've finally left!]
These invasive species posed a significant threat to Earth's safety! Now, these plagues have finally left!
The troops from the Land of Redemption are a devastating blow to Earth! Though few in number, they pose a tremendous threat!
[Waaaaah, why is it always India that gets hurt!]
[Su Shen! Why did you send this alien spaceship and the invincible insect army off Earth?!]
Exactly! Having these troops would be a huge deterrent to other countries!
[Su Shen, quickly bring that massive warship back!]
The Great Wa Empire fully agrees with Su Bai's decision!
By sending his powerful army away from Earth, Su Bai made a significant contribution to world peace and stability.
I propose that this year's Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to Su Bai!
"Now, the whole world knows that your Purifier and the Zerg army have left Earth and returned to the Land of Redemption."
Guo Jing looked at Su Bai and said, "Although I don't know why you made this decision, I will always support you no matter what!"
"Thank you!" Su Bai's eyes were bright, and his voice was sincere: "No matter what, what I have done will not go against the interests of the motherland and the people!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Guo Jing's expression was heartfelt, and he said "good" three times in a row, "Longguo is truly extremely fortunate to have a young man like you!"
"Mr. Guo, you flatter me!" Su Bai waved his hand.
Although Su Bai was unwilling to deceive this kind and gentle elder, he still told a white lie, which made him feel a little guilty.
If on Earth, ants could be genetically modified and enhanced by the Zerg, ultimately serving the Zerg swarm, then the benefits for China would be obvious.
At the very least, becoming a top-tier superpower in the world is not a problem at all.
Thinking of this, Su Bai felt at ease.
"By the way, the reparations from India have all been paid! This time, it's all thanks to you that India was able to sign this treaty!"
Wang Zhenguo paused for a moment, then continued, "Therefore, the country plans to allocate half of the funds as a special reward for you."
After hearing this, Su Bai solemnly shook his head: "No! I can't accept this money! The wounded soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers need this money more!"
For Su Bai, money was indeed of little use.
Firstly, the government already provided a huge amount of financial reward last time, which is far more than they could spend.
Secondly, most of the time, they were in the Land of Redemption, so they had nowhere to spend the money.
"Su Bai, are you sure you want to do this?" Guo Jing turned his head, his voice tinged with surprise.
"Of course! My mind is made up!"
Su Bai's gaze was firm: "Use the reparations from India to pay the pensions for the fallen soldiers!"
"During their lifetimes, they made tremendous contributions to the country and the nation!"
"If they unfortunately sacrificed their lives, I want their families and descendants to at least not have to worry about money!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers present immediately fell into a solemn silence.
In their gazes toward Su Bai, in addition to the original admiration, there was now an unparalleled and sublime respect.
"Many young people these days are obsessed with money. It's really rare to find someone like you who treats money like dirt!"
Guo Jing looked at Su Bai with eyes full of affection.
At this moment, he finally made up his mind.
I must groom Su Bai to be my successor!
Guo Jing had been trying to find a suitable successor among the lords to the position of de facto controller of the Dragon Kingdom's capital military region.
For years, however, he has not been able to find someone he likes.
Now that I've met Su Bai, it's not just that he's capable, but his character and integrity are also top-notch.
That's why Guo Jing liked it even more.
"There are many things in this world that are more precious than money!" Su Bai said each word with great seriousness.
...
...
at the same time.
Outside Earth.
The Purifier has reached the far side of the moon.
Here, all human satellite signals, as well as all detection signals, can be blocked.
"Warp, activate!"
"Target—Antarctic ice sheet!"
Niyadra's voice had just faded.
The Purifier flashed and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment.
Antarctic glaciers.
3,500 meters below sea level.
A huge natural cave.
"This is the place to establish the Zerg hive base!"
As Niyadra's voice rang out, the Purifier appeared out of thin air in the same spot.
"Although it's a bit cold, it's nothing to the insect swarm!"
The Protoss's powerful warp technology can shield them from any detection signals on Earth.
In addition, Niyadra's unique aura can interfere with most detection methods.
Here, Niyadra will use the infected Purifier as a base to establish an underground insect hive.
"My lord, I will lie low and lie in wait, modifying and strengthening the ant race. I will definitely complete the task you have entrusted to me!"
The hatch opened, and Niyadra, leading springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches, appeared inside the glacier cave.
The purple fungal carpet, like streams of water, began to spread outwards from the Purifier.
Not long after.
The entire underground glacial cave was covered with purple fungal carpet.
On the purple fungal carpet, a heart-shaped insect nest is pulsating, growing, and expanding!
Millions of ants are imprisoned in cages made of biomass, neatly arranged on both sides of the nest by springtails.
These ants showed no signs of anxiety or fear.
On the contrary, affected by the unique scent of the alien insects, it became exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
"My lord, I look forward to our next meeting with you and the Queen!"
Niyadra's gaze was intense, his eyes sparkling with light.
...
...
The next day.
dusk.
The Imperial Capital Military Region.
"In ten minutes, all the lords on Earth will return to the Land of Redemption!"
Looking at Su Bai before him, Guo Jing's voice was filled with satisfaction: "Of this batch of newly appointed lords who have arrived this year, you are already unique and the most powerful!"
"I believe that it won't be long before you join the ranks of high-ranking lords!"
Su Bai remained composed and replied, "For myself and for the country, I will continue to work hard!"
"If you need any assistance or encounter any difficulties, just tell Zhenguo. He should be able to solve most of your problems," Guo Jing instructed.
"I see!"
Su Bai nodded slightly.
However, he still adhered to that one principle.
Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.
Su Bai was a free man and not a member of the military region.
Therefore, one cannot accept too many favors from the military region.
"I hope you reach level 50 soon, so you can freely travel between Earth and the Land of Redemption," Wang Zhenguo said with a smile, patting Su Bai on the shoulder.
"Colonel Wang, I will do my best!"
Su Bai also smiled and said, "I will strive to catch up with your Light Legion in strength as soon as possible!"
"Then I'll wait and see!" Wang Zhenguo laughed heartily.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the flashes of light.
The lord, who was on Earth, gradually became ethereal, enveloped in a ball of pure white light.
...
...
The bright dusk, with light and shadow changing rapidly.
The land of redemption.
Zerg territory in space.
"call!"
"After a month, we're finally back!"
Su Bai stood firmly on the ground covered with a fungal carpet.
The towering Zerg buildings and the millions of Zerg swarms gave him a sense of security.
"My lord, you're finally back!"
The Queen of Blades strode forward with her long, straight legs.
Behind her followed Abathur, Dehaka, and Broken Tooth.
"During this past month, I was away from the territory. Were there any unusual circumstances?" Su Bai asked.
"Everything is normal in the territory!"
Kerrigan raised her arm and pointed to a group of green-skinned creatures in the corner. "However, we happened to run into a group of lost goblins who stumbled into our territory and I captured them all alive."
The group of small, green-skinned creatures trembled with fear and huddled together when they saw everyone's eyes focused on them.
"They're a bunch of goblins!"
Su Bai's eyes lit up: "They're experts at mining and logging, perfect for gathering resources!"
Currently, worker bees within the territory cannot recruit independently, and their numbers are still relatively small.
Using these goblins to replace worker bees for labor is simply perfect.
Furthermore, goblins are timid by nature and weak in combat.
As long as you give them a bite to eat, they will absolutely not dare to resist.
“In the month I’ve been away, your territory seems to have grown much stronger!” Zhao Ganwu strode forward.
"It seems that's really the case!"
Su Bai looked around and found that the territory's area had increased considerably.
“My lord, during your absence, I have upgraded the territory to level 42!” Kerrigan said.
"Level 42!"
Su Bai's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but smile: "Well done! Upgrading the territory is the most important thing!"
It has to be said that having the Queen of Blades managing the territory is indeed very reassuring.
After the upgrade, the level 42 territory now covers an area of 800,000 square meters.
Before long, it will be able to border An Ruoyun's territory, or even merge into one.
However, this will not have any impact.
An Ruoyun's merman territory is Su Bai's subordinate territory, and in fact, they can be considered as one entity.
If two territories are adjacent, then they can truly be merged into one territory.
Within the area of the murloc territory, Su Bai can freely construct buildings.
However, in Su Bai's interstellar Zerg territory, An Ruoyun's murloc buildings cannot be constructed arbitrarily without Su Bai's permission.
"roar!"
A familiar roar rang out behind Su Bai.
Then came a violent rushing sound.
Su Bai turned around and took a closer look.
Approaching him was a gigantic adult thunder beast.
Its height is over twenty meters.
It resembles a small mountain, and its presence is quite imposing.
"The young Thunder Beast has finally grown into an adult!"
Su Bai grinned.
Su Bai often used this young thunder beast as his mount when traveling.
Therefore, it also has a particularly deep affection for Su Bai.
He rushed to Su Bai's side.
Forelimbs kneeling on the ground.
It lowered its massive head and gently nuzzled Su Bai's body.
"The young Thunder Beast has grown into its complete form! It can be called the king of land warfare, and its combat power is extremely strong!" Kerrigan said.
“Flying bugs, hydralisks, and even cockroaches seem insignificant in front of the Thunder Beast,” Zhao Ganwu exclaimed in shock.
Previously, the young Thunder Beast was five meters tall.
Now, it has grown into its complete form, standing over twenty meters tall.
At first glance, it is extremely shocking and very oppressive.
"Is this the true fighting power of the Zerg? It is indeed incredibly powerful!" Zhao Ganwu looked the Thunder Beast up and down and gasped.
He silently cursed in his mind: From now on, if anyone dares to say that the Zerg are weak, I'll tear their mouth apart!
"Huh, how come this watchtower has changed so much?" Su Bai glanced sideways, a hint of surprise on his face.
The watchtower, originally made of steel and wood, has now turned completely dark purple.
It is covered with tiny tentacles.
If you look closely, you'll see that these tentacles pulsate slightly, like capillaries.
"Now, it should be called, the Infected Watchtower!"
Zhao Ganwu smiled slightly and replied, "I can sense that it exudes the same aura as that infected immigrant camp."
"I see!"
Su Bai nodded slightly.
After being away for a month, the territory has changed quite a bit.
Overall, it's much stronger than before!
