Chapter 1180 The Egg That Links the Entire Zerg
"How much longer will it take?"
Zhao Xun looked at the man in front of him with an uneasy expression.
"Your Majesty, how can I explain this matter clearly?" If I can explain this matter clearly, is it still your turn to order me around?
The man in the old suit picked up a bottle of liquid and slowly approached a square glass box. "This is an unknown creature. I don't know."
"Are you sure this thing can command the Zerg?" This is the last trump card Zhao Xun has in his hand.
Since ascending the throne, he discovered that although the kingdom still had the throne of emperor, the power in his hands was actually not enough to control the entire federal empire.
in particular……
Especially when you have lost the support of the people.
After suffering a series of failures at the Federal University and quarreling with Mo Si, when the great nobles did not persuade Mo Si to apologize to him but instead asked him to be patient, he knew that the country was on the verge of collapse.
This is not the throne he wants!
But at this time, it was too late to develop the army and strengthen oneself.
Good soldiers were no longer available, and most of the nobles were hopeless.
He can only rely on himself and the supreme power of foreign races.
While thinking, Zhao Xun also walked to the front of the square glass. Here was a petri dish with a faint blue liquid in it. In the middle of the liquid, a whitish egg-shaped object was floating.
I don’t know if it’s due to light refraction or some other reason, but there’s a faint circle of light around the egg-shaped object.
If you stare at that thing for too long, you'll feel like everything in the box has become a whirlpool—
"Stop! Your Majesty!"
The man in the old suit patted Zhao Xun, his eyes full of disdain, but Zhao Xun, who had his back to him, couldn't see this expression. "Don't stare at me for too long, or something bad will happen."
Only then did Zhao Xun come to his senses.
As he spoke, the old suit poured the liquid in his hand into the glass.
The water rippled, and the egg-shaped object in the water began to change -
Seems to be struggling.
But due to the limitations of her cute appearance, her struggle seems weak.
"Well, the little thing might be hurting again."
"When will it hatch?"
"According to the instruments, it will probably be within a month." The man in the old suit said nonchalantly.
Zhao Xun's eyes lit up, "So fast?"
"So what you said before, that it might have a chick complex and would submit to the first person it sees, right?"
"In theory, yes."
"Then after a while, you will bring it to the palace for me."
It is obvious that Zhao Xun wants to be a 'cheap dad'.
The old suit had no opinion on this and just said it was good.
This guy seems to be controllable and relatively docile, which is good. Because of his understanding of the Zerg, we can spare his life.
"Don't worry, as long as my plan succeeds, I won't treat you unfairly."
"Your Majesty, don't worry." The man in the old suit smiled like an intellectual. "Your Majesty has known my life aspirations since a long time ago. I just want to study these things—"
"Just like I only want to explore the mysteries of the universe, the origin of life, and everything about the Zerg, I only want to gain wisdom. Power is not important to me." He had an expression of looking at nothing.
That was truly calm and unhurried, and Zhao Xun believed it. "In the future, I will give you more opportunities to study the origins of species and life."
"Haven't you always wanted to know the difference between genetic hybrids and natural humans, and the difference between mecha soldiers and spiritual healers? People in the past didn't allow you to experiment on humans—" Zhao Xun grinned, "But I allow it."
And after the war is won, there will be many high-level samples.
"People at the 2S and 3S levels that you would never have used before are now at your disposal."
"Then we await Your Majesty's great victory."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Xun is the arrogant one who is about to rule the world, while the old suit is the arrogant one who is in control of the country.
Zhao Xun left.
The idiot finally left, and the old suit, that is, Arthas, took off the thing on his body, patted the hem of his clothes carelessly, and approached the glass box.
He reminded Zhao Xun not to stare at the glass box all the time, but he himself did not restrain himself at all.
His eyes were fixed on the faint white.
Everything was like a whirlpool. Arthas released his mental power, and soon, the small mental tentacles connected with the other party -
The head was spinning and he felt like vomiting, but Arthas didn't mind at all.
He is also a natural person with 2S level brain mental power. God has given him a smart brain and extremely high IQ.
Allowing him to communicate with humans across species.
Soon, some images slowly emerged in the sea of consciousness.
If there are ripples on the water, the rise and fall are unclear, but you can still tell...
Crawling around the tiny eggs are all advanced Zerg.
All the higher-level Zergs surrounded it, countless energy ores were piled up under its body, and the surrounding Zergs seemed to be chattering in the Zerg's unique language.
It can be seen that this egg has an extremely high status in the Zerg.
When the eggs move, the Zerg move.
The eggs like quiet, so the Zerg will stop moving.
The Zerg, who have no intelligence, are giving orders to an egg. There is no doubt that this egg is the king of the Zerg.
But the king is also a weak king.
Arthas opened his eyes instantly, his gaze fixed on the egg.
In his early years, he was also a prodigy in a certain college, studying under a great teacher, and was a genius praised by everyone.
Just because his research direction deviates from human ethics (of course, this is what those hypocrites said), Arthas does not think there is anything wrong with wanting to study humans and studying power.
So what if he killed a few people and conducted a few human experiments?
The death of one person is also for the benefit of future generations. If hundreds of people die, we will know how to turn ordinary people into genetic hybrids. Isn’t that a profit?
That’s also profitable!
Unfortunately, he had no backing and no say, and all his experiments were quickly overturned by hypocrites.
Even because he broke some imaginary law, a genius had to die for a bunch of idiots! How could that be? Arthas began his escape.
Fortunately, since he left, he has been supported by some black market and unscrupulous nobles, and his research has never stopped over the years.
Even 13 years ago, because he had been hiding on a remote planet not far from the Zerg battlefield, he once accidentally saw the remains of the Zerg.
This sparked his interest, and he later captured some live Zerg for research, gradually becoming interested in the universe's greatest combat force.
He had been studying for thirteen years, and in the first two years, he suddenly discovered a variable in the orderly Zerg.
Yes, this egg.
To control this egg is to control the entire Zerg.
If you can have an army that is so disciplined, so powerful, so tireless, and so invincible, then what can't you do?
You can do anything.
Arthas waited for that day.
The thing inside the egg broke out, and then he—
Become one with that thing and suppress it.
Thinking of this, Arthas raised his eyebrows, then walked slowly to a corner of the laboratory and opened a box containing many tubes of milky white mucus.
The mucus does not look transparent, even slightly turbid, with small bubbles sticking to the wall of the test tube.
When he opened it, the smell coming out was suffocating, but Arthas remained calm and drank it directly.
After he drank the mucus, the white egg-shaped object in the glass box moved again, seemingly heading towards him.
Arthas smiled.
This was the mucus he'd collected from next to the egg when he'd secretly stolen it, and according to shared memories, it was something from the same source as the egg itself, and every time he drank this, he always felt a deeper connection to the egg.
He believed that after a while, he would become the egg's favorite container.

At the same time, there were unusual movements among the Zerg on the front line.
The situation, which had finally been eased, is gone again.
Under the all-round monitoring of the detection robots, everyone discovered that at around 8 o'clock this morning, the Zerg on the battlefield suddenly began to go crazy and anxious. For a period of time, the blue mechas were unable to attract the attention of these Zerg.
Not only the blue mecha, but everything cannot attract these steel Zergs.
They made strange chirping sounds in unison towards the Federation Star, then broke through the soldiers' first line of defense at all costs and rushed in the other direction.
This is very unusual behavior.
Mo Si and several other generals quickly organized troops to start blocking the enemy, but soldiers with faith were difficult to stop. The blocking battle lasted for three hours, and after three hours of fierce fighting, there was no victory in the end.
Only when the Zerg slowly regained their sanity did everything come to an end, and humanity had time to breathe.
But this obviously won't work.
This time it's three hours, what if there's a next time? What if the Zerg don't stop next time?

Qiuqiu just left the seventh place.
After signing the confidentiality agreement, she took a hovercraft from the Seventh Department and sped towards the Federal Military Academy.
The self-driving car didn't need to worry about the route, so she couldn't wait to open the Star Network in the car to check the latest news.
The battles on the front lines frequently became a hot topic, and Astan Star followed up on the reports.
She looked at a schedule. When she went to the research institute, things were still anxious at first, but then help gradually came. More and more things and supplies became available. With the arrival of winter, everything gradually got better.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Among this pile of countless materials, there is even an interview with Mo Si.
Qiuqiu couldn't help but poke in.
He was much darker and thinner, and his eyes were sharper than before.
The Mo Si on the battlefield is a completely different Mo Si.
It's like a spoiled little panda taking off all its softness and standing firmly in front of everyone, not showing any sign of retreat even if the sky is falling.
"We'll do our best to hold on."
"But judging by the current situation on the battlefield, the outcome this year is still unclear."
"Thank you all for sending the war supplies from the front line. We look forward to our triumphant return."
He is not a general who accepts interviews casually. He must have thought carefully before standing on the stage and speaking.
Anyone who has thought this through will say:
The situation on the front lines is unclear.
Then this year's battle will be really difficult.
The comments section is a bit pessimistic, and no one understands why it suddenly became like this.
Everything was fine before. Nothing had happened in the past few years. Before this incident broke out, everyone was eating and drinking happily.
I never expected... this to happen.
At this time, everyone's conversation topics have basically ignored the civil war.
With external threats looming, anyone who doesn't know their own limits and brings up party disputes at this time will be immediately criticized.
If you speak for the empire, you will be pierced into a sieve.
It has come to this, and you still want to speak for the useless king?
Who is risking his life for you? Can't you see clearly?
Looking at public sentiment online, it's clear that if this battle is over, the Empire and the Free Alliance will be determined to be superior without having to fight.
Zhao Xun truly lost all the support of the people.
He was so unlucky that even the nobles were too lazy to pay attention to him.
The situation was not optimistic. Qiuqiu frowned, but she didn't have time to think about it. She refreshed the screen and a latest report appeared.
"Astan's latest report!"
"We are now at the forefront of the battlefield. Four hours ago, our army and the Zerg had another very intense conflict and clash..."
"Today, the Zerg were suddenly discovered to have a strong purpose. They overran the guarding soldiers and all rushed towards the distant Federation star coordinates."
"Fortunately, after three hours of fierce fighting, we managed to hold off the Zerg attack. We've just interviewed the adjutant who led the battle, and we still don't know why the Zerg changed."
"We don't know why they're rushing towards the Federation Star, but our reporters will continue to follow up on this matter..."
Such pointed words almost cause panic.
The Federation Star is the heartland of the Federation Empire. If the Zerg want to fly from the polar planet to the Federation, they have to pass through at least 30 planets in the middle.
Even when a large army is approaching, they will not deliberately dodge. Compared with the Zerg, the soldiers stationed on the planet are like walls and tofu, and are vulnerable.
The defenseless planet was taken away like this——
When locusts pass through, mountains of corpses and seas of blood are inevitable.
Things are getting worse.
Without participating in the discussion among netizens, Qiuqiu had already swiped her card to return to the Federal Military Academy. The school had been suspended at this time, and the teachers and professors with some experience were busy at the radiation hospital.
Therefore, as soon as Qiuqiu was born and reported to the hospital, he was transferred to the Radiation Hospital without stopping and began his second healing life.

Inside the palace, Yun Kuanbi was thinking about the Zerg agitation time sent from the front line and the time when Zhao Xun was away. The strings in his head were so tense that they were about to start playing a song.
It’s him!
The timing is exactly the same.
He definitely took away something that could affect the Zerg's mood.
He quickly spread the message through special channels.
Then he was summoned by Zhao Xun.
Yun Kuan is now Zhao Xun's confidant. With his outstanding appearance and clever mouth, he has become Zhao Xun's favorite guard.
He called Yunkuan in to watch the front-line video.
Zhao Xun treated himself as the protagonist, lazily leaning back in his chair, watching blood and flesh flying everywhere, listening to the soldiers falling into danger, and even showing an expression of surprise on his face when he heard the Zerg rushing towards the Federation.
Yun Kuan: ...
The resentment rose again.
But this is another opportunity.
Yun Kuan was weighing the pros and cons again. He thought that Zhao Xun must be thinking about that unspeakable thing in his heart at this time. If he asked at this time and succeeded, the information he could get would be huge.
But if it fails—
He was very conflicted.
If the pre-collection of the new book exceeds 100 before 12 o'clock tomorrow, I will add 5,000 words tomorrow!
(No more, but more!)
