"Today is the last day before a major disaster strikes!"
"With the Zerg swarm's current strength, getting through this shouldn't be a problem at all!"
"Hurry up and come! I can't wait!"
Su Bai's gaze was intense, showing no fear whatsoever.
Yesterday's great battle, which killed seven foreign lords and annihilated nearly 50,000 enemy troops, gave him great confidence.
Faced with the impending extraordinary disaster, there was finally no longer any anxiety or worry.
"Now, apart from An Ruoyun, there are no human lords left in the desolate wilderness."
"The next step is to make the fungal tumor continue to divide outward."
"Until every inch of the desolate wilderness is covered with fungal carpet."
"Only then can this region truly be called the swarm's backyard."
Su Bai was in high spirits, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Next, free recruitment for the Hatchery and Manor is enabled, yielding 14 Hydralisks and 1 Worker Bee respectively.
On the first day of the new year, the main nest produces 1,000 larvae.
The total number of larvae reached 2,640.
"Since a special disaster is about to strike tomorrow, let's hatch the larvae into combat units now!"
Su Bai checked the larval hatching page.
[Mutation into a springtail: Requires 10 biomass]
[Note: One larva can mutate into two springtails]
[Mutate into a Hydralisk: Requires 30 Biomass]
"Currently, there are only two combat units that the larvae can mutate into. Perhaps more mutation types will be unlocked once the main hive level is upgraded," he thought.
They all mutated into springtails.
[Biomass -]
All the larvae within the territory were encased in a thick cocoon.
Thirty seconds later.
With a bang.
The cocoon ruptures.
Inside each cocoon, two black springtails with sickles on their backs emerge.
The total number is 5280.
Next, Su Bai quickly glanced at the resource page.
【Soul: 12,930,456?】
Timber: 168,000??
[Stone: 86,100?]
[Iron Blocks: 18,500??]
[Basic Energy Gem: 204, 240]
[Biomass: 255,100?]
"More than ten million souls, that's really exhilarating!"
"However, we are still lacking some resources needed to upgrade our territory to level 20!"
"But I estimate it won't be long before I've saved enough."
"Now, continue recruiting troops."
Su Bai pondered for a moment and did some calculations.
The recruitment numbers for springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches were set at 1, 4124, and 7104 respectively.
【Soul-1,830,000?】
【Soul-1,237,200?】
【Soul-3,552,000】
Inside the hatchery, the biomass, mixed with genetic sequences, began to surge wildly.
A huge gash appeared in the purple skeleton.
Fleas, hydralisks, and cockroaches scurried out from within.
Fifteen minutes later.
The fractured skeleton came back together.
Recruitment is over.
"The Exploding Bug, this powerful weapon, must mutate more often, so that we will have more opportunities to defeat it if we encounter a strong enemy."
Previous battles, both large and small, have proven that the Banelings are an indispensable part of the Zerg swarm.
It is also the key to victory when facing high-level enemies.
Therefore, Su Bai did not hesitate and issued the order.
8,500 springtails were mutated into explosives.
[Soul - 4.25 million]
The gene sequence within the springtail begins to mutate.
8,500 exploding cocoons enclose 8,500 springtails.
Three minutes later.
The cocoon ruptures.
One by one, the exploding insects appeared in the territory.
"The Destroyer, a long-range artillery strike unit, is equally indispensable!"
"If there are enough of them, the overall combat effectiveness of the swarm can be further enhanced!"
Su Bai issued another order.
2000 cockroaches, mutated destroyers.
[Soul - 2 million]
The gene sequence inside the cockroach begins to mutate.
The biomass surged wildly, transforming into 2,000 large cocoons that encased it.
Five minutes later.
Large cocoons that break open automatically.
One by one, five-meter-tall destroyers, moving on six legs, crawled out from within.
The spiral-shaped jets on its back emitted a dazzling bright yellow light, making it look very spectacular.
After spending a considerable amount of money, only a handful of souls remained.
"Currently, I command a total of 30,000 Zerglings, 10,000 Hydralisks, 10,000 Roaches, 10,000 Blastbugs, and 3,000 Destroyers!"
"The swarm size has exceeded 60,000!"
"With such formidable strength, even against an old lord who has been here for many years, they would have a very high chance of victory!"
"Speaking of which, we really have to thank the seven foreign lords from yesterday."
"Without their 50,000 troops, they wouldn't have been able to obtain such a large number of souls at once, thus causing the swarm's numbers to skyrocket."
Su Bai's lips curled up into a smile.
If the lords who arrived in the same year knew the current size of Su Bai's troops, they would be so shocked that their eyes would pop out.
After all, this year's batch of lords has spent less than three weeks in the Land of Redemption.
Most people have not yet activated the self-recruitment function of the barracks.
Not to mention, they were able to command a large number of troops.
Su Bai's strength is nothing short of heaven-defying!
Cockroaches and vandals are relatively large.
This has resulted in the territory no longer being able to accommodate so many troops.
Fortunately, the number of fungal tumors has reached 348.
Expand outwards from the center of the territory.
Nearly half of the desolate wilderness has been transformed into a ground covered with fungal carpet.
In addition, the human lords of the desolate wilderness have been wiped out.
There's no need to worry about conflicts or wars with your neighbors.
Therefore, Su Bai simply gave the order.
Half of the swarm has left its territory.
They are distributed within a radius of 5,000 meters centered on their territory.
Furthermore, he commanded ten queen beetles to hover within a 1,000-meter radius of the territory.
Firstly, it facilitates the transmission of commands and the command of the insect swarm;
Secondly, it broadens our horizons, provides early warnings, and allows us to monitor more distant areas.
This will ensure that the territory is more secure.
"As the insect population surges, the food problem will become increasingly severe."
Su Bai frowned slightly as he surveyed the swarm of insects.
Faced with tens of thousands of springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, blasting insects, and destroyers, the only producer in the swarm—the overlord—appears far too few in number.
With only ten of them, the food they can produce is a drop in the ocean and cannot play a significant role.
Tanks and airplanes consume fuel and ammunition.
The driving force behind the insect swarm is food.
Therefore, logistical issues must be taken seriously.
"Don't worry, my lord!"
"The swarm will find its own food and won't starve!"
"However, having more Overlords would greatly enhance the swarm's ability to sustain combat."
Kerrigan stepped forward and spoke.
