Chapter 106
Above the wasteland, in the lush forest.
Qi Heng bent down to pick up a blue-tailed butterfly, stood in the jungle with squinting eyes, and quietly watched the massacre going on in front of him.
The blue-tailed butterfly hovering on his fingertips trembled its wings slightly, and instinctively felt close to its master, gently rubbing his fingers with its antennae, unwilling to leave on its own unless driven away.
The killing is almost over.
More than twenty swift-blade insects surrounded a mutant beast. This was a hunt. The success or failure of the hunting operation initiated by the swift-blade insects would determine the subsequent food reserves.
As the original Zerg's combatants, they possessed an innate talent for combat. They needed no command, and their hunting methods were simple, but their combat effectiveness multiplied when they formed a group.
With a loud bang, the mutant beast, which was more than ten meters long, fell to the ground.
[The first battle was a victory, taking fifteen minutes and thirty-six seconds.]
[Hunting target: Mutated purple-headed python.]
[Scan analysis results: After extracting the fangs and venom sacs, they can be canned and used as food.]
The python, as thick as a bucket, fell to the ground unwillingly. The swift-blade insects rushed forward and cut the entire python into dozens of pieces, with an average length of about one meter per piece.
"It's time to notify them to come over." Qi Heng said and put down his hand.
The antennae of the flying blue-tailed butterfly trembled slightly, and it transmitted its orders through the biological communication matrix to the engineer insect guarding nearby.
The next second, there was a rustling sound in the bushes.
The engineer worms, which had evolved thick carapaces and powerful forelimbs on their abdomens, crawled out and moved towards the severed python corpses without any orders or instructions.
After all the snake corpses were picked up, a sniper worm carried them away, grunting. Meanwhile, the swift blade worms followed them, guarding them like bodyguards to prevent them from getting into danger.
This was also Qi Heng's pre-arrangement.
There are many dangerous mutant beasts in the jungles of the wasteland. Although they are not as powerful as the giant beasts that roam the wasteland, their strength should not be underestimated.
These engineer bugs responsible for transportation will leave the wasteland under the protection of the swift blade bugs and stop at a secret entrance on the border between the wasteland and the wilderness. Then the engineer bugs will hand over the corpses of the hunted mutant beasts to the engineer bugs below the entrance.
These engineer bugs transport their prey underground in Area 49 through tunnels dug by the burrowing bugs.
The Digger, a helper bug that digs tunnels even faster than the Miner. The Miner's speed is reflected in its mining, while the Digger's speed is reflected in its ability to dig tunnels and underground spaces.
It took them only three days to dig the tunnel from the wasteland to Area 49, and they also connected this tunnel with the tunnel under Area 49.
By using the existing tunnels in the gathering area and the speed of the transporting worms, they were able to deliver the "food" to the production line before it rotted, and put it into the production line that Qi Heng had previously asked A0 to transform, and produce them into simple tin cans.
Although the teeth of the Tianjia Zerg are not as abnormal as those of the original Zerg, and they can eat anything, they can still eat this kind of food that tastes bad but is nutritious when there is no food.
After digging this tunnel, the earthworms will certainly not be idle. They seamlessly connect to another task - digging a tunnel from Gathering Place No. 1 to the Dead Egg Pit.
Qi Heng left the jungle and boarded a flying vehicle parked outside the wasteland.
As the most important part of food supply, it is enough as long as it operates without any problems.
Of course, one Swift Blade Insect hunting team is definitely not enough, so Qi Lan will allocate some energy to produce Swift Blade Insects and other useful tool insects.
After he left, the blue-tailed butterfly that had been resting on his fingertips flapped its wings and flew under a leaf that was larger than its body and hid.
There is only one blue-tailed butterfly in this area. It is the "messenger" within this area and one of the biological nodes that constitute the "biological communication matrix network."
The number of blue-tailed butterflies has now doubled compared to a few days ago, reaching three thousand.
This is the minimum number of blue-tailed butterflies needed to cover the existing area within the maximum information transmission distance and form a biological communication matrix network used by the original Zerg. As the plan progresses, the original Zerg will continue to expand outward, and the number of blue-tailed butterflies will inevitably increase.
The QW-1 module proposed by A0 can be used in areas where the Tianjia Zerg are active, but it is unnecessary to expand it to some mineral areas and resource areas such as those mined by mining worms.
The existence of the Primordial Zerg will no longer be a secret. After all, the number of people who can directly command the Primordial Zerg is limited. Therefore, the construction of the 'Biocommunication Matrix Network' is only to facilitate the command of the Primordial Zerg.
...The blue-tailed butterflies are sensitive to each other. Although their mental power is weak, it can spread steadily to very long distances. When the mental power of countless blue-tailed butterflies is constantly intertwined and connected, what was later called the "biological communication matrix network" came into being.
——Within the range of this network, as long as one spreads his mental power outward to connect to the 'Bio-Matrix Network', he will be able to communicate mentally with the blue-tailed butterflies and transmit information to a designated object through any blue-tailed butterfly.

The author has something to say: I'm done with my work. I've been so tired these past two days. I plan to rest early today to regain my energy. So I'll post what I've finished writing first. Okay, I'll resume updating as normal tomorrow. I'll try to update more after I get enough sleep =v=
(Ahem, this chapter is probably the most weak one I’ve ever seen/crying cat head)
