Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

It is not difficult to "equip" poison resistance to Zerg combat units. Since the research has been completed and there is even a relatively complete reference result on the flying dragon, this does not cost Sass much energy at all.

Speaking of toxins, there are dozens of creatures that the Zerg have encountered that can release such lethal substances. Some of them are larger, like the previous sea snakes, while others are much smaller, such as spiders. insect.

To this day, Zero still has fresh memories of the giant spider on Island No. 1. It was a creature that the Zerg race at that time was completely unable to deal with. Just the venom naturally secreted by them can even turn an entire forest into their own domain. Its toxicity is so severe that no living thing except plants can survive in it. Zero has never seen it again. Creatures with more poisonous venom than this one.

It is not difficult to defeat the Zerg with all their abilities today. Unfortunately, after that tsunami, Zero could never find their kind again.

To be honest, Zero coveted the venom on them at that time. He hoped that the group could also have this ability, even if it was a little weaker, because for the insect group that had not yet got rid of evolution through mutation at that time, This is the ability to change the Zerg attack pattern!

But what is lost in the east is gained in the mulberry tree. Although they did not obtain this ability at the beginning, the tribe accidentally became what it is today, and crossed the ocean and came to this continent.

If the spiders that were hatched were not so poisonous and caused the ant colony to mutate again, the Zerg race today might look different.

Maybe it’s better, maybe it’s not as good, no one can tell.

Zero is not willing to think more about things that have not happened. It will only increase his worries. He strives to look to the future and lead the Zerg race to become stronger. This is what he needs to do.

Although Sass's chubby body moves very little, it absorbs a lot of energy. Its daily food intake can equal the consumption of three to five land units throughout the day. In order to better meet its needs, Zero usually tries its best to find foods with high sugar content for it to eat. In order to support it, the insect swarm even learned some techniques for growing special crops from the lizard people.

This is the blessing it deserves. As a major contributor to the development of the insect swarm to this day, it deserves to enjoy some privileges.

When the snow on the northern land disappeared and spring returned to the world, swarms of insects finally began to fly out of the hatchery. They were the second generation of insect units modified by Sars to imitate the fire bugs, and they had not yet been named.

Compared with the first generation, their body size is a bit larger, and it is mainly concentrated in the abdomen. They look a bit round and naive, but they contain a deadly threat.

In addition, Sass has also made some breakthroughs in the application of foreign substances such as "saltpeter" in the Zerg. This time it finally no longer just imitated, but began to transform the first generation according to its own understanding.

However, the result was not smooth. Sass seemed to have read the reference answers and then summarized them on his own. This kind of research that could change the future direction of the Zerg was also somewhat difficult to explore.

Compared with the complete imitation of the first generation, the second generation has just embarked on the road of Zergization at best. There is some progress, but it is of little significance. This is one of the reasons why they cannot have a name.

Their research and transformation will continue in the following time, and Zero is now completely in a free-range state.

As for now, He has something new to do.

Out of resentment about the original spider venom and the current lack of attack methods by the Zerg, he whimsically decided to try to personally prepare a brand new poisonous substance and use it on the Zerg.

This also requires a little help from Sass. After all, Zero cannot produce toxins out of thin air, and he has no intention of catching the poisonous creatures that the Zerg have captured in the past. That would be very uneconomical.

That is to say, Sass has barely freed up his hands recently, and the swarm is not facing any huge crisis, so Zero can have the leisure to do this.

As the supreme master of the insect swarm, he still has some privileges, such as temporarily deploying Sass to make a batch of tool bugs specialized in producing various venoms.

Regardless of combat ability and coordination, this was not difficult for Sass. Soon Zero had dozens of bugs responsible for producing various toxic substances.

In fact, the next work does not require too much participation from Sass. If it is said to be research, Zero is just messing around on his own. He doesn't even know the properties of the various toxic substances in front of him.

But it doesn't matter, the loyal Zerg units will provide him with enough experimental samples.

It might be said that Zero did it on a whim, but that doesn't really count. He really wanted to add some more inventory to the Zerg's arsenal, and he wasn't completely unsure.

However, he was not sure how much results he could achieve. He could only say that he would try his best to find something meaningful to do in his increasingly dull life.

In comparison, Sass is like a parent who made a bunch of toys for Zero, then turned around and fell back into busy work. Currently, according to Zero's arrangement, there are still many research projects it is undertaking.

According to the current order of priorities, the top priority is still the study of the use of "saltpeter" by fireflies.

This point is related to the future use of other materials by the Zerg. When he first discovered the iron ore left by the lizard people, Zero had an idea, and this characteristic of the fire bug provided an effective idea for this research.

There has been some progress in research on this point, but it is far from successful. As now, using "saltpeter" like fireflies can only be regarded as the first step. Sars is also continuing to analyze what will happen next.

If one day it can draw inferences from one example and allow the Zerg to use various materials from the outside world to strengthen itself through this research, then it will basically meet the zero requirement.

Following this research was a project on how the Zerg obtained energy.

Zero has also been determined to do this for a long time and has put in a lot of effort. Unfortunately, Sasse has never had a clue. Even though it has studied too many types of plants and even fungi, it has not changed this.

There seems to be some natural chasm in between, preventing the insects from producing their own nutrients like plants. Sars, who is always good at animal research, is completely unable to make any progress in this regard.

There were some strange guesses in Zero's mind, but there was no way to confirm them.

He believes that the reason why it is difficult to do should involve the fundamental differences between living things, and the problem may lie in the microstructure.

But for Sass, even if this guess is true, it has no reference significance at all. It knows nothing about this aspect.

The specific facts are unknown to Zero, but this does not hinder its importance in Zero's heart. If the Zerg were not currently rich in food and the project on fire bugs had made progress, it would have been ranked first. of.
