Zerg in the crystal wall world

For the first time, the Overmind ordered a general mobilization of all Zerg swarms.

All patrolling Leviathans returned immediately; all dormant combat units under the hive were awakened; and all high-level infected units entered the pupa channel and were on standby at all times.

And... issue a transformation order. Instruct nearly one-fifth of the high-level command units to transform their life forms from "big balls" to "black cores".

Both the transformation of high-level command units and the assembly of the swarm will take some time.

The master has to take the opportunity to make a choice:

From the perspective of Apocalypse Vision, the Emperor's plan to throw out the prototype may have been premeditated.

He had already dispatched support troops to the corresponding positions, and some of them had even prepared summoning arrays in advance to pull the prototype bodies caught in the turbulence.

Thirteen prototypes, thirteen punctuations, the swarm cannot possibly contain all of them

The empire was abandoned first.

The empire's territory only occupies about 14% of the entire Crystal Wall System, but seven prototypes were sent to the empire.

Theoretically speaking, even if the Zerg successfully captured five of them, the remaining two would be able to ensure the stable implementation of the Imperial Truth within the Empire's territory.

In addition, due to the high level of industrial development, sufficient protective measures and strong organizational capabilities, the erosion of the empire by the Zerg plague has actually been in a relatively early stage.

As a hub world with important transportation nodes, only a very small number of them fall into the control of the Zerg.

The resistance of breaking into the heart of the empire is too great and the cost-effectiveness is too low. The Overmind does not intend to take the risk before ensuring that the Zerg has enough strength.

The prototype that was taken to a holy temple of light was then abandoned. Or rather, it was handed over to the "surrogate ball". Before confirming the closeness of the connection between the God of Light and the Ancient God, the Overlord did not intend to have any in-depth contact with him.

The location of the remaining five prototypes became the core of the swarm.

Especially prototype No. 13 that was sent into the heart of the hive, it must be dealt with immediately!

The current hive mind is mainly supported by the massive swarms of Zerg in the heart of the hive. Once the "Imperial Truth" is unfolded here and the psionic energy is suppressed, the hive mind will be severely damaged.

The Overlord was even paying personal attention to this place: under the shimmering light of the Apocalypse Vision, the surrounding scene of the Thirteenth Prototype entered the Overlord's eyes.

……

Hive Control Zone Heartland:

Tundra World Group.

Since the water elemental world here is a water element circulation node for dozens of nearby world groups, the temperature is relatively low and it is difficult to use the elemental gate to regulate the climate.

The world where the prototype No. 13 exists is an unnamed world located on the edge of the world group.

The temperature here is just in an awkward situation. Low temperature will affect the production efficiency of the hive and fungal blanket, but it is not low enough to make it worthwhile to build a low-temperature special mutation evolution hive.

In addition, there are no special minerals and no transportation value here, so it is not worth developing an element circulation system to improve the climate. The development sequence is not advanced, and the insect nest here has never received direct orders from high-level command units.

Right on ten thousand meters of solid ice near the Arctic line.

A majestic steel construct is rapidly taking shape.

Soul-quenched materials give various steel structures extraordinary toughness and hardness. Even if they are folded and propped up quickly like a transformable toy in a child's hand, they will not be deformed or damaged.

The buckles that had been reserved long ago locked together, and a steel bunker quickly rose from the ground.

Self-deploying technology.

After the Intelligent Servants could no longer be used, the Hall of Truth took this technology out from the dust in order to enable rapid construction.

Produce a full set of accessories on the industrial planet, and use space technology to fold into deeper dimensions, and quickly unfold them when needed.

A truck-sized base vehicle can be quickly expanded into a steel base with simple industrial production capabilities simply by rotating on the spot.

This small bunker, which has its own energy source, temperature control, turret, ammunition production line and weapon maintenance equipment, can be compressed into a portable device the size of a lantern.

No matter how late the development sequence is, this is still a hive after all.

In fact, just a hundred meters below the permafrost, where the temperature is not low enough to affect the activity of proteins, there is a mycelium layer several meters thick and a network of tunnels extending in all directions.

The sound of the bunker's foundation being drilled into the ground stimulated the nerve tentacles deep underground.

As soon as the bunker was deployed, the twenty or so gun turrets on the top suddenly began firing explosive arrows rapidly as if they were having a seizure.

Dense explosive arrows with tail jets quickly streaked through the air, almost connected from head to tail, like a large shower head.

In the distance, green flowers appeared one after another. They were spore masses, bile masses, and plasma masses that had been detonated in advance.

Although the dense firepower barely blocked the beyond-visual-range attacks of the spore ejectors and destroyers, it was indeed a pipe dream to want to stop hundreds of thousands of alien dragon troops with the firepower of just one bunker.

Far in the air.

The dark masses of flying units almost covered the sky.

"Zha——" followed by a sharp scream.

The psionic shock emitted by the elite dragon enhances the reaction speed and physical strength of the surrounding dragon units.

It also caused the artillery that was spewing flames to temporarily shut down and stop.

This is also the replacement technology after the Intelligent Servant can no longer be used. It is a low-level artificial intelligence obtained by mixing brain-machine and "elemental spirit". It is not enough to act as a personal terminal and host, but automatic aiming is enough.

However, at present, its stability is very problematic and it is easily shaken by psionic impact.

Boom - at the moment the artillery ceased firing, an elite earthquake bug broke through the thick frozen soil, and a large number of combat units fired from the auxiliary nozzles around its body.

A group of special banelings took the brunt of the attack, but they didn't roll into a ball. In such a cold environment, rolling can hardly bring about too high an acceleration.

Instead, it relies on its knife-like feet to "skate" and quickly approach.

Just as the bane was about to hit, the alien dragon in the sky was about to come into range.

A wave of energy suddenly emanated from the bunker.

A large amount of steam formed a ring like an explosion. Wherever it passed, all units turned into ice sculptures.

Some of the strange dragons that fell from the sky were simply shattered into ice chips.

The elemental excitation device transforms "free magic power" into "vision".

Even the Empire's technology cannot do this easily. The guards of Prototype 13 are very likely carrying Titan fragments.

However, it can be seen that about ten percent of the Zerg units did not die under freezing.

Many even began to struggle, trying to break free from the thick ice.

These are all Dragon Spine units. Now, as long as the "Dragon Abyss" is established in the hive, the anti-distortion mutation can be activated and the corresponding units will be transformed into Dragon Spine units.

In areas with high element concentrations, most Zerg Hives will actively increase the proportion of Dragon Spine units.

With a muffled thunder, the sky suddenly became gloomy.

One after another, huge spheres with diameters of several kilometers passed through the sky above the bunker. Boom-boom-boom--with a series of vibrations, they fell to the ground.

Airdrop insect nest.

But it is slightly different from the normal airdrop nest.

The fungal mat materials in these airdropped Zerg nests did not transform into Zerg nests or Zerg units during the long journey. Instead, they expanded and fibrosized into a buffer structure.

So, after crashing to the ground, a soft, wet giant mountain made of organic matter stood in the distance of the fortress.

The wriggling mountain suddenly trembled twice, and dozens of tunnel worms suddenly burst out and crawled out from it.

Shuai Qiu modified the warp chamber at the core of the airdrop hive so that it could generate a small-scale "void shield".

In the event of a fall, it can ensure that the core part will not be excessively damaged.

After the fall, with a little debugging, the void shield can form a one-way portal to connect to the heart of the Zerg control zone, those hive worlds where production units are on the verge of overflowing.

Like opening a floodgate, a large number of insects gushed out under high pressure.

The lubricant is not a simple synovial fluid, but an essence - a highly differentiated tissue fluid. It can accelerate the development and growth of the corresponding unit, and even condense a building unit that would take several days to develop into a few hours.

With the participation of essence, this soft and collapsing biomass mountain can be transformed into a fully functional insect nest within a day.

But at this moment, there was a flash of golden light, and the entire fungus mountain appeared with an arc-shaped gap, as if it had been bitten by some giant monster.

But not only the buffer material on the outside, but also the void shield inside was shattered.

If you look inside through the observation hole of the bunker, you can find a bolt crossbow with flashing magic patterns and a warrior in golden armor.

The Imperial Guards are here to personally guard this place, and each of them is equipped with a twelfth-order machine soul explosive arrow.

You know, the Empire doesn't actually have the technology to mass-produce 12th-order machine souls. Each 12th-order machine soul can only rely on the alchemy of the Great Sage of the Hall of Truth, combined with witchcraft to guide the will of high-level units to distort reality and forcibly break through the technical barriers.

Each explosive arrow was extremely precious. Normally, except for the emperor, any imperial guards or champion warriors who used explosive arrows of this level were required to write a report several meters long afterwards and go through hundreds of approvals to avoid punishment.

This means that even the accumulated wealth at the bottom of the box has been taken out.

Golden flames and high-level soul fluctuations burst out in the sky one after another, illuminating millions of square kilometers of land. Organic peaks and airdrop insect nests were blown up one by one.

But at this moment, the special warning light in the fortress suddenly lit up.

It was a psychic detection device blessed by the Emperor himself.

The sky began to rain, dropping airdrop capsules.

Leviathan also showed up.

In fact, the airdrop hive itself does not have the ability to make long-distance jumps. Every airdrop hive that appears here is dragged here by Leviathan.

Then, several balls of bioplasma filled with psionic energy appeared out of thin air a hundred meters above the bunker.

Boom—the entire fortress was destroyed...

……

Thousands of kilometers away from the Antarctic Line, a group of golden-armored giants were suddenly teleported here.

It was the Imperial Guards who had just been stationed in the bunker. None of them were injured or killed. They were now forming a circle, guarding the Imperial Guards holding the No. 13 prototype in the center.

Compared with just now.

Visibility here is decreasing rapidly. That's because spore ejectors from all over the world are releasing massive amounts of spores into the atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, please hold off on placing the battle bunkers." The captain in the middle gave the order, "Observe the surroundings and be ready to evacuate at any time."

"The insect swarm's reaction was more intense than expected." One of the imperial guards mentioned, "If this is the case, your majesty's mission may be difficult to accomplish."

"Until death, that's all."

As they were talking, the fog around them became thicker and took on a slight red tint.

"Something is wrong. May the Emperor bless us and raise the flag!" Following the captain's order, the flag guard immediately dug the flag into the ground. Waves of regular pulses radiated out, dispersing the surrounding psionic energy.

It was also under the illumination of the blazing golden flames that a figure gradually walked out of the mist: "My most loyal servant, obey my command and give me the cubs in your hands immediately."

It was a human with an abnormally pale blue complexion, wearing golden power armor filled with countless tentacles and giant eyes.

All the imperial guards' faces suddenly changed: "Your Majesty."

The Infected Emperor. In the current Zerg Swarm, besides the Overmind, he is the only unit that can carry the Thirteenth Order of Psionic Energy.
