Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Zero didn't know the method used by the other party. The Zerg really didn't have any accomplishments in this area. He didn't even realize that this thing could be used in this way.

The number of Zerg is now incalculable. Not to mention combat units, the number of large brood nests alone exceeds eleven digits, which is tens of billions in size!

Generally speaking, large broods only exist in star fields with great development value, such as Orui, which have a large number of developable planets. In unstable multi-star systems, or in isolated single stars, they do not have much development value. In the star field, there will be no large-scale Zerg mother nest, and at most there will only be a space hatchery.

The difference between the two is quite big. Today's Zerg mother nest, after more than two thousand years of evolution, is fully worthy of the important task of "devouring the planet". It is a kind of "walking" war fortress. In peacetime, , and can transform into a devouring giant beast at any time.

Planets are being eaten away by them, and after a long time, only ruins will be left.

Nowadays, the desolate star systems in the Zerg territory have begun to overflow, and the root cause lies in the large-scale activities of the Zerg mother nest.

Starting from the earliest occupied central area, a large amount of available resources were gradually exhausted. On the whole, the Zerg are completing their "migration" from the galaxy of origin at an extremely slow speed. In exchange, the Zerg swarm is constantly concentrating on the front line and is enough to cover the stars.

Of course, this is just a sign now. The Zerg expansion rate far exceeds the efficiency of the mother nest, which fundamentally causes the number of various units to surge forward in the form of a rolling wheel.

Just like locusts in the interstellar era, wherever they pass, there is no life or hope, only ruins and ruins of the planet.

Regarding the specific number of Zerg units, Zero himself is too lazy to count it. He can only confirm that it is really an astronomical number, and this astronomical number is soaring by another astronomical number every moment!

Because of this, it has been impossible for Zero to keep a close eye on every Zerg individual for so many years.

Even the Cerebrates find it difficult to truly count the survival of all units of the entire Zerg clan. But what is certain is that there cannot be large-scale changes, otherwise no matter how crazy Zero is, he will not be able to ignore it.

It should be said that over the years, the Hive Mind has played an increasingly important role within the Zerg as it continues to strengthen.

Zero's rule is essentially an all-round control. All individuals hatched directly from the Zerg mother nest or hatchery absolutely obey his instructions. His instructions are higher than all Zerg intelligent units and the will of the Zerg Hive!

Zero can feel that the expansion of the Hive Will has continuously strengthened himself. The most direct manifestation is that he will no longer be stretched for mobilization due to the excessive number of Zerg.

This is a subtle change, and no obvious change will be felt in a short period of time, but if he compares zero a thousand years ago with now, he can clearly distinguish the difference. Zero can still control such a huge Zerg like an arm to this day. If he was just an ordinary intelligent individual, he would never have such a powerful ability to control.

.......................................

When the alliance's obstacles recede and the wormhole passage cannot provide convenience in this direction, in the past thousand years, the Zerg's territory has gradually become no longer centered on the origin galaxy. Frustration in one direction and success in other directions have formed. In sharp contrast, those "little stars" in the darkness of the universe actually represent huge galaxies.

In the darkness in front of them, the Zerg can only advance through super-light navigation that has undergone several improvements. Even if there is basically no obstacle from the alliance, it is still much slower than before.

Mira didn't seem to have much reaction to the alliance's withdrawal. In the dense field of vision of the Zerg explorers, there was no sign of a large-scale advance of the mechanical warship, as if it had never actively attacked the alliance.

Star fields are turning into Mira's military factories. It seems to be expanding its combat power on a large scale. But now that the alliance has retreated, apart from starting a war with the Zerg, Zero actually doesn't understand the meaning of it. .

Over the years, Mira has gradually become a bit confusing to Zero. It turns out that it is actually very easy to predict. Under the flexible scheduling and strong organizational capabilities, it has a slightly rigid behavior pattern. In other words, Mira used to be Quite simple.

But now, including the sudden retreat when facing the alliance's attack last time, and the sudden intensification of troops this time after the alliance basically withdrew, Zero feels very strange.

It seems to have changed a lot. Zero can only think this way. As for the possibility of Mira and the Zerg going to war, Zero doesn't care much. If it insists on doing such a meaningless thing, the Zerg is not unable to accompany it. The vast desolate space zone, The indescribably huge insect swarm is enough to deal with all kinds of accidents at the same time.

At this time, the insect swarm, faced with the "overseas defense" of the three major civilizations, was greatly restricted as a whole. After the alliance retreated, their remaining tasks returned to the starting point. No matter what was in those star fields, they could only move forward. That’s all.

The Cerebrates still won't take the initiative to show up. After all, the enemy still has considerable intelligence advantages and the ability to "decapitate" anytime and anywhere. However, defensive capabilities have been put on the agenda within the Zerg scientific research base. After the mobility performance has been greatly improved, Faced with the "cannon-killing" policy of the three major civilizations, the Cerebrates are also trying to make changes.

In the previous war, the Zerg basically gave up their defense completely when faced with the attacks of the three major civilizations. However, no matter what, the safety of the Cerebrates could not be guaranteed, and they could not hide in the darkness forever.

Over the years, in a sense, with the help of pressure from the Alliance, the Zerg's war technology has been developing rapidly and is extremely targeted. In terms of mobility, they are approaching the Hero Federation at an extremely fast speed. There is no doubt that Zero indeed regards the standard performance of the Federation warship as the development goal of the Zerg.

The intelligent race individuals working hard in the scientific research base are working with the brainworms to turn this idea into reality.

However, there are always some changes that do not allow the Zerg to carry out this "pastoral" development after breaking away from the war.

The death of individual Zerg is really a normal thing. Over the years, the number of Zerg individuals who have lost their lives due to various reasons has been impossible to count.

However, sudden, unprovoked death almost never happens.

The tenacity of the Zerg vitality is obvious to all. In many cases, they even have the ability to repair themselves. After entering the space age, the life span of Zerg individuals has been strengthened time and time again.

Theoretically, each Zerg unit cannot even survive until the day it "ends of life", because before that, it will be "remade" because it can no longer keep up with the overall development of the Zerg.

Unless there is something wrong with the Zerg mother nest or hatchery, or the cerebrates have made some lethal expression during genetic improvements, this will never happen.

The former is almost impossible. As for the latter, except for this phenomenon in experimental subjects, no brainworm has ever made such a low-level mistake in large-scale and batch incubations. It's the instinct's past existence, and it's impossible to make mistakes in this link.
