The Zerg Overlord Who Devours the Starry Sky

Why are Zerg called Zerg?

Zerg species that appear in the universe often have huge mouthparts, hard exoskeletons, and ferocious insect-like shapes.

Their biological forms and characteristics are also highly similar to insects, which is one of the important reasons why they are called Zerg.

If all animals were made the same size, insects would be the most powerful among arthropods.

Normally, insects' body structure makes it difficult for them to grow too large because their exoskeletons and muscles cannot support their large size.

But the emergence of the rr virus has made this impossible a reality.

When other creatures on the earth evolved and mutated, these insects also evolved and mutated, and became one of the most terrifying monster groups.

It's just that they often like to live in vast wilderness, jungles, and cities. They don't appear much.

At the beginning, Qin Mu chose tiger mastiffs in order to give the Zerg their first combat unit.

Later, in order to expand the size and combat power of the insect swarm, new monster genes were continuously absorbed.

The monsters that appear in the city are often mutated monsters from dogs, pigs, cows, sheep, snakes and other creatures that were common in the human world during the Great Nirvana Period. In order to better integrate into it, Qin Mu chose these most common monsters. , and then hatched on a large scale.

This choice allows the insect swarm to integrate well into the city and has not been completely exposed so far.

But this also greatly limits the development of the insect swarm.

When the insect swarm's tentacles extended into the wilderness and hunted wildly in the wilderness, the insect swarm discovered more types of monsters, and a large number of them were insects.

These insect monsters are often more powerful than monsters of the same level. Just for the sake of hidden development, the insect swarms do not hatch on a large scale in the city.

“Currently, in the Zerg gene pool, there are hundreds of thousands of monster genes above the beast soldier level.

The insect swarm is about to start a full-scale war with the monsters, so there is no need to consider other factors, as long as the strongest and most suitable insect can be hatched with the same energy. "

Sitting on the rooftop of the ruined building in the city, Qin Mu thought about the structure of the insect swarm.

When the strength is insufficient, the concealment and growth of the insect swarm are the most important.

Now that it has developed, concealment is not the primary factor, but combat effectiveness is.

"The Brood begins to select the strongest Zerg units with the same energy, mainly at the Beast Soldier level and Beast General level.

Mainly consider the optimal and most reasonable arrangement for large-scale operations and group operations. "

Passing his will to the insect swarm, all the mother nests immediately began to adjust the type of insect that hatched.

In City 023, the larvae around a mother nest began to mutate.

Fifteen minutes later, huge mantis-shaped monsters hatched out of the eggs that were as tall as a person.

This is a monster called Blade Mantis, whose strength is at the level of a high-level beast soldier.

The blade mantis usually lives in the jungle. It is gray-green, has a slender body, nearly three meters long, has a triangular head, short hind legs, long front legs, and the front legs are like a sickle.

To put it simply, he has a scythe on his arm, and the weapon and body are integrated into one. He is born with a sword and is full of ferocity.

After crawling out of the insect egg, the blade mantis shook its body, spread its two pairs of wings, jumped outside along the passage of the insect nest, and flew at low altitude.

At a subway entrance, nearly a hundred bladed mantises crawled out one after another.

"thump--"

"thump--"

These blade mantises kicked hard with their six legs and jumped into the air. Their wings were beating in the air and they flew up and landed on a building, rushing towards the monster in the distance.

These blade mantises are not very capable of flying and can only fly at low altitudes.

But this is enough for them to roam freely in the city.

After leaving the territory of the insect swarm, it didn't take long for them to find a group of hundreds of wild tiger mastiffs under the guidance of the mother nest.

These tiger mastiffs had no idea that they were being targeted, and were wandering around the city as usual under the leadership of a junior beast general level tiger mastiff.

"Plop-"

Blade-blade mantises swooped down from the surrounding buildings, swinging their front legs like sickle-shaped weapons, easily cutting through the tiger mastiff's fur, tearing their flesh and blood, and taking away its life.

Most of the tiger mastiffs had their throats slit before they could react, and only a few experienced tiger mastiffs escaped this attack.

Some tiger mastiffs immediately fought back, but when their claws bit the Blade Mantis, they were often blocked by the hard bones.

Just one flying attack killed and injured nearly half of the tiger mastiffs, and only three blade mantises were injured by the counterattack.

The junior beast roared furiously at the other tiger mastiffs and bit a bladed mantis.

The Blade Mantis was not afraid of being targeted by the Tiger Mastiff at the beast general level. He raised a pair of jagged forelimbs, and when the Tiger Mastiff flew over, it was like two big knives slashing into the Tiger Mastiff's body.

The tough fur of the junior beast-general monster was unable to withstand the jagged sickle.

Just when the sharp claws of the tiger mastiff hit the Blade Mantis, the Blade Mantis dodged aside very quickly. Only one hind foot was injured by the tiger mastiff's attack and broke.

But the next moment, the Blade Mantis, which was passing by the Tiger Mastiff, spread its wings and flew into the air.

In a confrontation, the Blade Mantis, a senior beast soldier, and the Tiger Mastiff, a junior beast general, were both injured.

Other tiger mastiffs were not so lucky. Facing the Blade Mantis, their speed and reaction were not as good, and their attack range was not as good as the Blade Mantis's jagged sickle.

Even the defense is inferior to the Blade Mantis' body covered by an exoskeleton.

These blade mantises can also fly!

Once injured, fly away immediately to avoid it.

This is an asymmetrical battle.

When the other tiger mastiffs were killed by Blade Mantis, the junior beast general-level tiger mastiff was also attacked by Blade Mantis and cut into pieces.

Without a beast general-level Zerg under the leadership, the number was almost equal to that of tiger mastiffs, and the tiger mastiffs were led by a beast general, Blade Mantis was completely victorious!

On another battlefield, a group of giant beetles covered in darkness, with sickle-shaped upper jaws, large teeth inside, and a thick black shell on their fat and wide bodies crawled out of the subway.

These beetles can reach up to five meters in length, and the pair of extremely asymmetrical and extremely huge jaw teeth in front of them alone accounts for one-fifth of the body.

This giant beetle is also recorded in the military database and is suspected to have mutated from the King Tiger Beetle before the Great Nirvana Period.

Guided by their mother's nest, these giant tiger beetles soon encountered a group of tall and strong bulls.

When the two sides started fighting, the giant tiger beetle with its thick carapace easily withstood their impact when it collided with the running bull.

The wild cows are defenseless against the nearly one-meter terrifying jaws of the giant tiger beetle. Even their thick leg bones will be easily cut off when faced with the attack of the jaws!

Not only the Blade Mantis and the King Tiger Beetle, but also more insect monsters appear in major cities.
