Chapter 788: The Mermaid (51)
Everyone knew that this time it was either survival or being eaten. Even though they were terrified, they tried to be strong and then went to save the other people in the prison. They swapped the identities of humans and insectoids and spent more than half a month completely replacing all the insectoid guards in the prison. They also sent food to the insectoids, all of whom were insectoids disguised as humans.
The Zerg are not intelligent enough to be fooled by simple camouflage.
Afterwards, Wen Wan left the prison and began to search for the location of the Insect King.
That was the most heavily guarded center of the entire insect planet. After all, the Insect Emperor was the most fundamental reason for the survival of the entire insect race. Without the Insect Emperor, the insect race would be wiped out.
While searching for the Insect King, Wen Wan began to study the Insect Planet with the system. It was truly an eye-opener; the entire Insect Planet was barren, with not a single blade of grass on the road, all eaten up by the Insect Race.
In fact, the Zerg were originally herbivores, and even had a very low status among them.
Because of a major upheaval on the insect planet, all of the insect race's natural enemies disappeared, and the insect race became the only low-intelligence life form on this planet.
So they multiplied wildly, constantly consuming the planet's plant reserves. When the plants were gone, they began to eat other animals that were even lower than the Zerg. When the animals were gone, the Zerg population exploded and eventually took over the entire planet.
So they began to expand outwards.
In this world's universe, they discovered the Blue Star interstellar planet where the protagonist resides, and this planet is extremely rich in resources, enough to support the entire Zerg race, so they began a continuous invasion.
To solve this problem, we need to both repel the Zerg and prevent them from having any reason to invade other planets. This means controlling the Zerg's reproduction rate and numbers, and improving the living environment of the Zerg planets so that they can solve their survival problems through self-sufficiency rather than invasion.
This is the only way to fundamentally solve the Zerg chaos. After all, the Zerg can be driven back, but they will come back again after decades or centuries, and humanity's troubles will only be endless.
The land here is suitable for plant growth.
While having the system make plans, Wen Wan headed towards the location of the Insect Emperor.
The Zerg King is the leader of the Zerg. Although it is of low intelligence and cannot even move normally, it has the power to control and suppress all Zerg.
Solving the insect king problem is equivalent to solving most of the problem.
At that moment, Gu Chuan suddenly sent a message.
Wen Wan hid in a corner where there was no danger around before answering the AI, and refused a face-to-face meeting, switching directly to voice communication.
“A-Yuan”.
Wen Wan really missed Gu Chuan after not hearing his voice for so long.
"Gu Chuan, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Gu Chuan: "You're not injured. Have you been eating on time lately...?"
Gu Chuan asked a bunch of questions, which Wen Wan answered one by one. Then the young couple chatted on the phone for half an hour before hanging up.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "I was so afraid that Gu Chuan would realize something was wrong with me. I was terrified, my heart is still pounding."
System: [Let's continue.]
On the other side, Gu Chuan hung up the AI, his face instantly turning several shades paler, and there was even blood at the corner of his mouth.
His subordinate asked worriedly, "Dr. Wei Lin is coming soon, General, are you alright?"
Gu Chuan: "It's nothing serious."
I was slightly injured while fighting the Zerg. It's normal to get injured on the battlefield, but my condition is much better now because of that mysterious data, which has greatly reduced casualties.
only……
The war is going so well that some people are getting restless and starting to cause trouble.
"General, the military supplies sent from above have been reduced by half, and they say they've already tried their best. Isn't that ridiculous? Are they trying to send us to our deaths if we don't have enough weapons and supplies for the war? The higher-ups are out of their minds, still thinking about infighting at a time like this."
The adjutant was furious.
Gu Chuan smiled, but his expression was unusually cold.
"The donated supplies will arrive soon. Tell the soldiers not to worry. As for those spies we planted, their identities have been pretty much confirmed. Put them all under surveillance. The king has been in this position for too long. The concentration of power in his hands is a drawback. We need to teach him a lesson."
His subordinates were shocked that their general would say such treasonous things, but they also admitted that he was right.
Those people have been in high positions for too long, enjoying power and wealth, and have forgotten that they were in those positions because of the interests of all the people. Now they can even do such foolish things in Zerg battles, which is truly disheartening and infuriating.
He was loyal only to the people and only to the general.
As for those people, he didn't like them.
"General, the Chen Yuan you asked me to keep an eye on hasn't shown any strange behavior. Moreover, he's been quite dedicated to fighting the Zerg, and his record is pretty good."
Gu Chuan: "Keep a close eye on him, and most importantly, keep a close eye on the people around him to see if there is anything unusual about them."
"Yes, General, I will keep a close eye on him."
Wei Lin arrived quickly and began examining Gu Chuan. The medical level of the army was far inferior to that of the capital city, but in Wei Lin's hands, as long as you were not dead, he was still confident.
But seeing the injuries on Gu Chuan's body, he was still very angry.
"If you don't take care, I'll tell your wife that you're not protecting yourself properly."
Gu Chuan: "I'm fine."
How is my father?
Wei Lin: "Everything is going smoothly. This war should be over soon."
Gu Chuan: "That's not necessarily true."
After all, that man wanted to keep him and his father on this battlefield; as long as they lived, the war would not end easily.
...
After more than half a month of reconnaissance and exploration, Wen Wan finally slipped into the location of the Insect King and disguised herself as an Insect being taken care of by the Insect King.
When Wen Wan saw the Insect King, she almost vomited on the spot because it was so disgusting. The Insect King was huge, even as tall as a skyscraper. Its abdomen took up two-thirds of its entire body, and its reproductive cavity was open, with insect larvae constantly being born and then transported to the incubation chamber.
That scene was more terrifying and shocking than all the horror movies Wen Wan had ever seen combined.
"System, this Insect King is really too pitiful. Its whole life is just about reproduction until it dies, and then the next Insect King is born to inherit its responsibility and continue to reproduce. Doesn't the Insect race have any eugenics policy?"
System: [That's definitely not the case. After all, its duty is to reproduce, and its understanding is limited to reproduction. From the day it's born, it's destined to spend its entire life this way.] It doesn't even have the thought that it's suffering. That's what low-level creatures are like—they only have the simplest thoughts and don't have their own ideas or perspectives like humans.
