"This dragon's corpse has fire attributes. Could the evolutionary path of cockroaches be related to this?" Su Bai couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, my lord."
Abathur extended the sharp claws on his forelimbs, cutting through flesh and bone as he spoke, "Fire Wyvern, with excellent genes, its original essence can be extracted and perfectly integrated into the cockroach's DNA sequence."
"By tomorrow, you will see a brand new branch of cockroaches, a type of insectoid creature with fire attributes, appear in the territory."
Su Bai nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "I'm waiting for your good news!"
The sun sets and night falls.
Kerrigan and Dehaka led the Zerglings back to their territory.
In one day, worker bees collected 50,000 pieces of wood, 50,000 pieces of stone, and 30,000 pieces of iron.
"Continue upgrading the building!"
Su Bai spent 60,000 units of timber, 30,000 units of stone, 60,000 units of iron blocks, and 30,000 units of biomass.
Upgrade all 5 spine-spike reptiles, 3 spore reptiles, and 1 warning arrow tower to level 18.
...
...
Time flies.
The night passed quickly.
the next day.
early morning.
[Announcement: Attention all lords!]
[Announcement: A special disaster will strike in 2 days!]
[Note: This disaster is not an animal tide; please prepare in advance!]
"In two days, a major disaster will strike."
"But why am I not nervous at all?"
"On the contrary, I'm a little excited?"
Su Bai walked out of the small stone house, muttering to himself.
Of course, the reason for this was all because of the confidence the swarm gave him.
Since arriving in the Land of Redemption, it seems that we have never encountered any substantial difficulties.
The Dark Curse can be counted as one instance.
But with Wang Zhenguo's help, they easily cracked it.
Sometimes, Su Bai even began to reflect.
Isn't it a little too good to have everything going so smoothly?
The idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace has almost been eradicated from his mind.
"It's easy and I'm quite happy to be free."
Su Bai smiled.
Following that, free recruitment was launched at the hatchery and manor, yielding 8 queen bees and 1 young worker bee respectively.
On the first day of the new year, the main nest produces 1,000 larvae.
Currently, the total number of larvae in the territory has reached 1,640.
"My lord, the gene sequence has been successfully integrated."
"Flame Dragon Essence, perfectly integrated into the DNA of cockroaches."
"Now, cockroaches can mutate into destroyers."
"This is a long-range artillery unit with tremendous destructive power."
Abathur emerged from the evolution chamber, his eyes gleaming with intense excitement.
At the same time, a new line of information appeared in the cockroach's attribute panel.
[Mutation into a Destroyer: Requires 1000 Souls]
"Long-range artillery units—this is precisely the kind of power the Zerg swarm currently lacks!"
"Abathur, you are very efficient and have not disappointed me!"
Su Bai's face flushed with excitement as he repeatedly praised her.
Abathur replied, "Reorganization and change, striving for perfection. I bear the heavy responsibility of continuing the swarm, and I dare not stop moving forward for even a moment."
"One day, the swarm will engulf this continent, and then the world will burn beneath our feet!"
Su Bai's gaze was intense, and his voice was filled with determination.
There are currently 3,780 cockroaches in the territory.
The highest level is Lv15.
Now, the hatchery has been upgraded to level 18, and newly recruited troops will also start at level 18.
To ensure the maximum combat effectiveness of this new unit, Su Bai decided to recruit a new batch of cockroaches and then mutate them into destroyers.
He walked up to the hatchery and determined the number of cockroaches to be recruited to be 1220.
?【Soul-610,000】
The biomass inside the hatchery began to move.
The purple skeleton cracked.
One by one, cockroaches moved their six legs and scurried out from within.
Eight minutes later.
Recruitment complete.
The number of cockroaches in the territory has reached 5,000.
"bring it on!"
"Destroyer!"
"Let me see what you really look like."
Su Bai issued the order.
1000 high-level cockroaches, mutated destroyers.
[Soul - 1 million]
The gene sequence inside the cockroach begins to mutate.
The biomass surged wildly, transforming into 1,000 enormous cocoons that enveloped it.
Two minutes later.
The first cocoon to mutate broke open automatically.
A completely new interstellar insectoid creature appeared before Su Bai's eyes.
Like cockroaches, it also has six hind legs and crawls forward.
However, it is much larger in size.
The cockroach is about 1.6 meters tall and 3 meters long.
This new creature is five meters tall, six meters long, and four meters wide, roughly the same size as the young Thunder Beast.
Most strikingly, its entire carapace is interwoven with pale yellow markings.
There is a ring of hardened bone spurs on his back.
In the center is a spiral-shaped vent, like a volcano spewing magma, radiating a brilliant bright yellow light.
"Such a fierce appearance, truly majestic and imposing!" Su Bai's eyes lit up.
[The Destroyer]
[Level: Lv18]
Race: Interstellar Zerg
[Quality: A Myth of Ultimate Excellence]
[Weapon: Flame Breath]
[Talent: Magma Glands]
The Destroyer's unique glands produce a magma-like substance, which is stored in its insulated shell for immediate use.
[Skill: Flaming Cannonball]
[Fire a flaming projectile at the target location. Upon impact, it damages enemy units within the area and can cause significant destruction to defensive structures.]
[Rapid Fireball Range: 1500 meters]
[Combat Power: Level 22]
Loyalty: 100
[Introduction: The Destroyer is a product of genetic modification of cockroaches, pushing the limits of biology. As a heavy, mobile siege creature, it can launch long-range artillery strikes against enemies.]
Destroyers
"As expected, it is a fire-attribute insectoid creature."
"Weapons, talents, and skills are all related to fire."
"Especially this skill, with a range of up to 1500 meters."
"This is simply a siege weapon—a mortar!"
Su Bai grinned, his face practically beaming with joy.
Currently, the units within the territory, whether they are Zerglings, Hydralisks, Roaches, or Mutalisks, are more adept at open-field encounters.
If it were a battle to breach a city's defenses, it would seem somewhat weak and inadequate.
But now, the saboteurs have joined the swarm.
This shortcoming has been greatly compensated for.
At this moment, the remaining cocoons have all burst open one after another.
1,000 enormous destroyers appeared before Su Bai.
Suddenly, the territory became crowded again.
"The Destroyer can fire terrifying flame projectiles to strike enemy strongholds from a distance. The siege capability that the Swarm lacked in the past has finally been filled."
Abathur stood beside Su Bai, his voice tinged with excitement.
