super predator system

Chapter 314 Undersea Tunnel
With two or three hundred Zergs, Ye Ren came to the underground pool again, and then slowly dived there.

However, it is not without some troublesome things. Because of the need to manipulate the Zerg recently, Yeren evolved the tentacles for pheromone identification, and then degenerated when exploring underwater caves, and then evolved fluorescence and omnipotence. Lungs, but now the fluorescence has been degraded, special vocal cords have evolved, and the tentacles to control the Zerg are gone. Ye Ren can only remotely control these Zergs through the spiritual link with the queen, which is quite troublesome, but don’t do this No, because the structure of the underwater cave is complicated, if something happens, it will be really troublesome not being able to breathe underwater.

Even if Ye Ren can hold his breath for a long time, it is not enough, after all, the cells inside the body need oxygen themselves.

Originally, Ye Ren had a headache for these zerg, but when he actually got into the water, he found that the situation was actually good. Although Ye Ren lost the tentacles and could not control the zerg, hundreds of zerg followed closely, and there was nothing wrong with it. wrong path.

Although the soul link is troublesome, it is not impossible to use. Ye Ren reluctantly used the zerg to control the direction of the zerg. After walking through a relatively simple diving channel, he slowly entered a branch road.

Without the fluorescent ability, Ye Ren's vision completely lost its function, but Ye Ren tried it a little bit, and it turned out that the special vocal cords can release sound waves to detect the surrounding terrain even under water, so Ye Ren used inductance and sound waves to sense To sense the surrounding environment, he slowly walked in the right direction. After a while, he was indeed near the beach where he drilled out last time.

It's just that this time, Ye Ren didn't get out of the beach. Instead, he spoke to the zerg queen, letting the other party directly control the zerg not to go up, but to dig down quickly and continuously.

Because after leaving the stone structure on the other side of the underwater cave, most of the here is silt and sand, so it is much easier to dig. These zerg are the size of puppies, and the jaws open and close very quickly. Just dig the soft sand aside.

In order to prevent the sand on the upper side from collapsing, after dozens of zergs at the front dug through, more zergs at the back immediately ran over and ate the sand into their mouths, and then mixed it with sulphur to turn it into a viscous glue. The texture reinforced the cave with a thick layer.

Ye Ren took a cursory look, and found that the hard amber mixture was at least a few centimeters thick.

So just like that, Ye Ren quietly waited for the group of Zergs to dig forward, and soon dug a relatively long hole in the soft sand and gravel soil. It's just that these caves are all filled with sea water.

Time passed very quickly, two or three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Ren ordered the insect queen to deploy a new group of air sac worms, while he still stayed in the cave.

As for the zerg that had been digging for two or three hours, Ye Ren chose to let them go back to rest, not because the oxygen in the airbags was not enough, but after several hours of work, all the zerg almost They are almost constantly secreting succinic fat to solidify this channel, so the fat glands are already very tired and need to rest for a while.

After waiting for a while, the Zerg completed the replacement of the old and the new. The fat glands were exhausted and went back to feed and rest, while the new ones came to continue digging.

In this way, the cycle of new and old has been going on. With his excellent endurance, Ye Ren stayed underwater for an unknown amount of time, and finally successfully dug this long cave that is almost endless.

However, in fact, many accidents occurred, such as subtle errors in the other party's cognition during excavation, or the sand layer above the cave was too shallow, which was also troublesome.

Fortunately, the zerg can survive in the water for four to five hours. Otherwise, if you want to complete such a project on the seabed, it would be like a dream. Engineers and architects are useless, because the terrain around here is too ridiculous, and the construction machinery of the human world can't be used, and the zerg has to dig slowly with one jaw and two jointed limbs. .

Sure enough, the ordinary zerg produced by the queen was at a god-like level in terms of architecture.

After persevering in digging, Ye Ren controlled the Zerg to dig upwards at the end of the cave. After digging for more than ten meters, he used the exoskeleton to drill through the thick sand layer, and finally reached the depths as he wished. the underwater world.

Although the depth here is not thousands of meters, the depth is just enough. At least it is difficult for Ye Ren to see the surrounding scenery relying on vision alone. This means that the sea water above him is deep enough to block the projection of sunlight.

The scenery here is very primitive. Ye Ren explored the nearby terrain with sound waves and inductance, and found that this is a slightly sunken terrain, which is already some distance away from the shallow sea area over there.

I don't know if it's because of the blocking of sunlight, but the sea here looks a little dark.

"Let's sense Leviathan's position first..."

Ye Ren closed his eyes, cut off the psychic link with the queen, and instead locked the target of the psychic link on Leviathan, and then started to communicate with Leviathan using the psychic link, only to find that the other party had already run away again. I went to the deep sea area to find food, so I called it back first.

It took almost half an hour for Ye Ren to let Leviathan find the seabed where he was.

And Ye Ren himself saw Leviathan's appearance once again with his naked eyes. Since his vision under the sea was not clear, Ye Ren could only see a nearly huge shadow slowly moving towards him. Swimming over, Leviathan's six giant purple pupils lurking in the shadows exuded a faint light, which looked even more strange in the dark underwater, and the huge mouth more than ten meters long was slightly open. , exposing the sharp giant teeth inside, and the body length is more than 30 meters. It seems that it has grown into a full-fledged deep-sea monster.

At this moment, Leviathan's tail blade is still hooked with the corpse of a sperm whale that has been dead for a long time. Due to Leviathan's deterrence, there are not many small fish and shrimps yet who dare to eat the corpse of this sperm whale.

Moreover, due to the sufficient salt in the seawater, the sperm whale's body did not rot within a short period of time, and was well preserved.

"Yes, this corpse should be enough to consume for a while." After seeing the huge body of the sperm whale, Ye Ren nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Leviathan to put down the food.

What Ye Ren didn't expect was that Leviathan not only put down the sperm whale's body, but also opened its mouth, and then spit out a lot of dead fish and shrimps from its mouth. There were so many of them. , although it is not as huge as Leviathan itself, but with the storage capacity of the space stomach, the fish and shrimp it spits out are almost as big as a sperm whale.

Of course, the only headache is that a lot of fish and shrimp are partially digested, which is a bit...disgusting.

"I wipe..."

Ye Ren was taken aback by Leviathan's actions. Some of the fish and shrimp were melted by Leviathan's stomach acid and turned into minced meat. The whole seawater was polluted, so much so that Ye Ren held his breath, not wanting to inhale these things into his lungs.

"Sure enough, let's go back first." Looking at the suspended objects floating around, Ye Ren really decided that it would be better to go back and stay for a while, so he turned around and went back into the sand cave. The surrounding sand piled up and soon disappeared. The hole was buried.

"Buzz..."

Seeing Ye Ren leave, Leviathan realized that he might have done something wrong with good intentions, and hummed with grievance.

But Ye Ren didn't want to go out to meet it even if he heard it. Now Ye Ren has sneaked back into the lair, and then ordered these Zergs to dig a very small passage to the bottom of the sea.

These Zergs seem to be born with an almost instinctive architectural talent. What Ye Ren did was just convey his ideas to the Queen. As a result, the Zergs acted quickly, divided into several and began to dig the upper part of the building. And the way they dug is not vertically up and down, but obliquely upwards, and after a while, they turn around again, so that the position will not be too deviated, and at the same time, they use amber to chew sand and mix to reinforce the hole wall.

Soon, several washbasin-sized holes were opened. Ye Ren used the genetic ability of mimicry to shrink his body a little bit, then climbed out to hold back his nausea and took a look, only to find that these zerg were amazingly witty.

These insects have all opened the cave openings in some coral reefs or seabed rocks, which are very hidden. If you don't pay attention, you won't know that there is a deep cave inside.

"Insect Queen, it's almost done. You can just send some more zerg here to rest for a while. Leviathan has collected a lot of food. You can send some zerg here to get it."

I have been busy all the time, even Ye Ren is a little tired, and I don't want to be busy anymore. Anyway, things are almost done. Go back and have a rest with Bai Mengmeng. You must know that the crisis of food sources has just been solved. The real trouble is yet to come. A huge base cannot be dug out just by talking.

"Squeak~"

The queen seemed very happy at the moment. After all, the source of food was solved, which meant that she could rest assured to lay eggs and strengthen her own strength, so she kept sending happy messages to Ye Ren through the soul link.

So much so that Ye Ren could only smile helplessly while comforting its agitated mood.

"Good boy, don't be too excited. It will get better and better in the future." After returning to the insect queen, Ye Ren reached out and stroked the insect queen's head, said to the insect queen with a smile, and then gave instructions. : "Well... By the way, you spend half of the time hatching cockroach-type Zerg every day, and the other half of the time hatching normal Zerg."

"Squeak~"

Since the Queen of Worms is not good at speaking, she can only send information to Ye Ren by means of a mind link, expressing that she already knows it.

"Well, I'm going to take a rest first." Nodding, Ye Ren turned around and went back to the stone chamber dug earlier, intending to rest for a while, but as soon as he entered, he couldn't help but wipe his face.

Bai Mengmeng was wearing a headset and playing a game that he didn't know what it was.

"Hey, are you back?"

I don't know if it's because he just knocked down a boss, but Bai Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked up, he found Ye Ren standing at the door, and said something in surprise.

"Yes, I'm back." Ye Ren nodded: "Get ready to take a rest."

"I fell asleep and woke up..."

Bai Mengmeng raised her forehead: "What are you doing, why did it take so long?"

"I'm digging an undersea tunnel, and I actually finished digging it in one go, can you believe that?" Ye Ren said dumbfoundedly: "If you come here in such a short time, you can dig it for me." Come out and try one?"

"If it's in the MC..."

Bai Mengmeng said something.

"What the hell is MC?" Ye Ren simply felt helpless: "Speaking of which, you still have the mind to play games. If you have time, hurry up and exercise for me. Your body coordination is better than this. Otherwise, after I finish my work here , throw you into the woods, and I'll fuck you once I catch you."

"You guys are so evil that you explode."

Bai Mengmeng rolled her eyes: "I didn't realize you were such a person when I first met you?"

"Is not it good?"

Ye Ren asked.

"Okay, sister, I'm going to call the police." Bai Mengmeng complained immediately.

"There's no signal here."

Ye Ren shrugged his shoulders and said poorly, then yawned and said: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let me sleep for a while, I am a little tired, you can do whatever you want..."

"OK then."

Bai Mengmeng took a look at Ye Ren's appearance, seeing that the former didn't seem to push her to exercise or anything, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Hmm..." Ye Ren didn't make any excuses, and lay down on the stone bed directly, ignoring Bai Mengmeng who was beside him, closed his eyes to relax his whole body, and started to think wildly again when he was not asleep , After starting to plan, how to dig out a base underground abruptly, as well as the size of the base, structure and facilities.

Because these problems were really troublesome, Ye Ren slowly fell asleep after thinking about them.

Ye Ren slept very comfortably this time, and I don’t know how long it took, and the sun was completely invisible at a depth of more than 700 meters underground, so Ye Ren simply slept until he was full, and then he couldn’t sleep anymore. Only then slowly opened his eyes.

"I don't know how long I've been asleep..."

Sitting up slowly from the bed, Ye Ren yawned, then randomly took the mobile phone that Bai Mengmeng put aside here, pressed it to light up the screen, and glanced at the time.

The time displayed was past eleven o'clock in the morning.

"Is it okay to sleep until almost noon the next day?" Ye Ren put the phone back on the pillow, because Bai Mengmeng didn't know where he had gone, so no one could talk to Ye Ren. Out of curiosity, Ye Ren simply contacted the insect queen directly and asked the insect queen to see what Bai Mengmeng was doing.

As a result, according to the information sent by the queen, Bai Mengmeng actually went to a cave where a biome was located. That biome was also a bat swarm, but it was relatively more expensive than the medicine Ye Ren wiped out. much smaller.

"Why is this guy looking for a bat?"

Standing up with some doubts, Ye Ren stretched his body, then walked in the direction of the bat cave directly according to the address given by the queen, intending to see what Bai Mengmeng was doing.

The distance between the bat cave and the stone chamber is not too far for Ye Ren. After Ye Ren found a small puddle and washed his face, he quickly moved in that direction. I found the location of the cave in the cave, and then walked over.

But as soon as he got close, Ye Ren immediately smelled the smell of blood filling the air.

As for the others, Ye Ren could hear the chaotic cries of bats, but the most conspicuous thing was not these, but a soft light was lit up at the entrance of the cave. After Ye Ren saw the color and brightness of the light, It was immediately recognized that the light was basically emitted by the rechargeable portable lamp that Bai Mengmeng brought over.

"Huh?" After Ye Ren saw the light, he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart. He walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, but the result was similar to what he thought.

Sure enough, Bai Mengmeng was killing these bats.

Compared with Ye Ren's ability to directly shoot high-voltage currents to kill these bats, Bai Mengmeng seems a bit reluctant at this moment, because Bai Mengmeng only has her right hand as her own weapon, but her killing efficiency is not slow at all , At this moment, there are a lot of bat corpses piled up under her feet, and the death of these corpses is a bit horrible, all of them were cut into several pieces, and what's more, they were directly cut into pieces of meat , All the internal organs flowed out, very bloody and disgusting.

"Shh!"

Bai Mengmeng's fighting methods were really foul for this group of bats. His right arm, which had become more controllable through fusion, now transformed into a very, very long, slender metal wire.

Under Bai Mengmeng's control, this metal wire was woven around her to form a sphere-like cover. Once these bats rushed over, they would hit the cover and be hit by the slender filament faster than a blade. These bats will be cut into pieces in an instant, which is simply incomprehensible.

Just when Bai Mengmeng was fighting endlessly with these bats, a tentacle suddenly emerged from the filaments, and the top swelled into an eyeball, reminding Bai Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, Ye Ren is here."

"Ah?" Bai Mengmeng was a little panicked after hearing Bai's words, and the net-like structure woven by the whole filaments immediately began to become unstable.
