Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Speaking of genes, in fact, seriously speaking, the current concept of "genes" for the Zerg only rests on the innate ability of Sass.

It used its innate abilities and creativity, coupled with its growing intelligence, to easily complete the transformation of Zerg units.

However, even if it can transform the Zerg into various forms and has actually completed the conversion of Zerg genes, it is impossible to say how much it understands the nature of this matter.

All in all, it has only been a few years since the Zerg race was born.

And Sass, the first brainworm of the Zerg tribe, was almost like a blank sheet of paper when it was first born. Although it is powerful and can carry out simple and crude transformations of Zerg units when its accumulation is at its lowest, it is completely unable to learn the basic theory.

The most intuitive expression is that Sass can transform the Zerg larvae at will and turn them into various Zerg units through re-hatching. However, for other creatures, it cannot even make the ants it knows the most about make any progress. .

It certainly does not need to allow other creatures to progress, but this is actually an essential difference.

Without understanding its true connotation, all transformations can be said to be due to luck, but Sass relied on his own ability to turn this luck into a necessity for the Zerg.

Perhaps the natural talent and creativity of the Cerebrates can lead the Zerg to move forward, but this basic knowledge involving the laws of the universe is the cornerstone for the Zerg to reach its peak in the future.

Zero believes that transformation based on theory should be much better than the current Sars model.

Apart from anything else, if it could figure out the most fundamental difference between plants and animals, perhaps the research on future energy acquisition by the Zerg would not simply stop at the first step.

Therefore, starting from the most basic knowledge can be regarded as another task for Sass in addition to using his own abilities to study the Zerg.

Previously, Sass had obtained some of the most primitive theories from the legacy left by the lizardman civilization. However, limited by the times, the lizardman civilization itself has very little research on biotechnology, so the improvement of basic knowledge about Sars is not obvious. At most, it is just some medical or anatomy content, which is lackluster.

However, this can be regarded as a systematic knowledge system. For a basic novice like Sasse, it at least gives it a direction.

If we continue to study in this direction, with its level of intelligence and potential, sooner or later, it will be able to become the Zerg brainworm that truly masters the highest biotechnology!

By then, even without the bonus of this innate ability, it will still be able to push the Zerg forward based solely on its own research results. This is what Zero wants, and what a Cerebrate should look like.

Of course, it is too early to talk about this at this time. The current Zerg still needs to be transformed by Sars through its own abilities. Before its theoretical learning reaches a certain level, this method will still be the main driving force for the evolution of the Zerg. .

…………

On the continent, the Zerg continued to accumulate its own knowledge under the research of Sass, and in the ocean, the Zerg's exploration never stopped.

The sea is sunny and sunny, but there are turbulent undercurrents under the water. The first global exploration team of the Zerg is now thousands of kilometers away from the mainland. This is a place that the Zerg has never reached before, and it is a completely unfamiliar sea area.

Here, they encountered many new species. As the insect swarm moved forward, the environment around them was also constantly changing.

Different creatures exist in different environments. Perhaps a long time ago, they once had a common ancestor, but as they were separated by oceans, they gradually turned into completely different creatures over a long period of time.

In the farthest sea area that the Zerg had explored, they encountered a species that was very similar to the ocean giant they had encountered before.

They say they are similar, but they are not exactly the same. The species encountered this time should be considered a mini version compared to that kind of ocean giant.

Because their size is much smaller than the creatures encountered by the insect swarm before. Each individual is only about the size of five or six foragers. Seriously speaking, this is not too small. It should be bigger than an adult lizard man. It took a few laps, but compared to that kind of giant beast in the sea, it was completely unsightly.

In addition, they no longer act alone, but move forward in groups. Although they are still the top predators in the ocean, they pose no threat to the insect swarms.

They naturally became the food of the Zerg. To the Zerg, this was just an extremely common prey on the way forward.

From the mainland all the way here, they can be said to be on the rampage. From small fish and shrimps to large ocean monsters, everything is included in their diet, becoming the energy for progress or turning into a batch of fish in the sea hatchery. Another group of companions.

However, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.

Along the way from tiny insects, the insect swarm has incorporated almost all edible creatures into the diet, whether it is highly poisonous snakes and insects, or smelly carrion, as long as it can provide energy and is not fatal, It's all their food.

They will not complain that it is not delicious enough, nor will they lament that it is too delicious. Obtaining energy is their only purpose.

But this time, even Zero didn't expect that the Zerg, which had eaten all the way from the island to the mainland and then back to the ocean, would overturn because of food for the first time.

After swallowing a group of hunting miniature ocean beasts together with their prey, the swarm once again set out to move further afield.

However, it didn't take long for Zero to discover that among the swarm of insects, there were still some insects falling behind.

This is quite abnormal. Unless they are attacked or impeded by insurmountable terrain, they cannot stop for no reason without Zero's order.

When Zero noticed them, these straggler bugs had almost no signs of life, but they were still alive, but in Zero's senses, their auras continued to fall off a cliff, and they were already on the edge of death.

Although strictly speaking, they still have biological characteristics, that is, they are still alive, but when Zero tried to command their actions, he was surprised to find that his instructions could no longer be executed!

This is almost impossible. In all the time in the past, since Zero woke up, all the bugs have shown absolute obedience to Zero. Even at the last moment of their lives, as long as they still have a trace of mobility, they will fight Do your best to fulfill Zero's orders.

However, this time, they are obviously still alive and seemingly undamaged, but there is no feedback at all to Zero's instructions. This shows that either they are unable to receive Zero's instructions, or they have received them but are no longer able to respond. reaction.

No matter which one it is, it means that their internal bodies have been extremely seriously damaged, so that the current situation has never occurred before.

In the next moment, these stragglers slowly lost all their life breath one by one. Due to the overall density of their bodies, they were no longer able to maintain a balanced state in the water and began to float upward.
