Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Ruhr now barely has the power to protect itself. With the help of a large number of soul bodies that can be seen everywhere, it can threaten the vast majority of local creatures.

Of course, the efficiency is relatively low. If faced with a siege, it will still be massacred. This has been verified by "practice".

The outer space storm has subsided, and the Zerg can send a large swarm of Zerg here at any time, but this has no other meaning except causing big noise and attracting danger.

Thinking about it carefully, entering it with great fanfare now has no effect. If it attracts a large number of native creatures to attack, the insect swarm will not even have much chance of winning, and the whole situation will easily become corrupted.

Zero's plan is to quietly establish a base station like this in Ruhr in this space to expand the scope of the Zerg's influence here. At the same time, he will continue to advance his own research on the creatures here and give the Zerg swarm the ability to fight against this threat as soon as possible. ability.

At that time, it will be the best time for the Zerg to enter here in large numbers.

On both sides of the passage, the scientific research power of the entire Zerg race is being mobilized. The first thing to do is to use the biological materials obtained by Ruhr, so that the Zerg swarm can be qualified to confront the native creatures of the "New Universe" head-on.

Everything must be done slowly, guarding the exits, and trying to prevent large-scale reverse invasion of the main universe by native creatures. Although it is unlikely, judging from the current situation, even if there are, they will not be too numerous. , but Zero did not relax his vigilance, and monitored and prepared on both sides.

Now it seems that this change ultimately led by the wormhole passage may be an opportunity for the Zerg.

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

The stars in the universe are disillusioned and are always in motion, moving from order to disorder, leading to the final outcome. After hundreds of millions of years, even the stars will burn out. Nothing is eternal.

Sixty-one years have passed, and the Zerg's footsteps in the main universe have spread across one star field after another. Except for the wonders of the universe that they encountered back then, which are always moving and it is not yet known whether they are living or dead, they have not encountered them. Any opponent who is even remotely threatening.

It is worth mentioning that eleven years ago, the vanguard of the Zerg swarm once again encountered the "remnants" of Korva, who were actually the Korva civilization that escaped that year. But now, Zero believes that the people who are dependent on the development of the Zerg are The Korva people represent the "orthodoxy" of Korva, so this fleeing civilization can only be called the remnants.

Encountering the Zerg again, these Korwa people who had finally settled down for hundreds of years did not hesitate too much and once again set sail towards the distance. This time, Zero believed that they would go far enough to wait. Never encounter a swarm again.

This encounter did not lead to a large-scale war. The main reason was that the Korva people made a very quick decision. Before the Zerg could gather a large enough fighting force, they had already left the building empty.

Like all the times before, Zero did not pursue, but continued to explore, monitoring the entire explored universe.

……

Sixty years have passed, and the Zerg's research on the creatures of the "new universe" has finally yielded some results.

There are more and more Zerg base stations on the other side of the channel. On the premise of ensuring its own safety, the biological materials Ruhr can obtain are also increasing day by day. Although compared with the expected demand of the Zerg, it is still a drop in the bucket, but after continuous research on these materials, After all, Zero Armed Forces produced a new small insect species with a number of just over 6,000.

They have defense capabilities that are almost equivalent to those of the native creatures in the new universe, and have almost the same coordination capabilities. Their body shapes are basically similar to them. The only drawback is that their maneuverability there is slightly inferior, but this does not count at all. There is no flaw, because in nearly a hundred years of exploration, Ruhr has never encountered a gathering of more than a thousand predators, let alone a close cooperation.

The reason why there are only 6,000 new insect species is not because the materials Ruhr has provided for decades are only enough to arm so many individuals. In fact, the materials are just materials. It has lost the support of the biological body and it is difficult to exert its power. due role.

In the process of Zergization, there is also a loss rate for the utilization of this material. This number is not small, but in order to achieve the desired effect, this is the price that must be paid.

Although it is not yet known what kind of material is "under the skin" of those native creatures to constitute these unique lives, but if we only analyze it from the most superficial level, the gap in combat power between the insect swarm and them is not huge. big.

Therefore, in Zerg year 4481, they entered the channel and were dispersed to various base stations.

This time, Zero wants to get the "flesh and blood" of these creatures, not the skins!

With enough combat power, Ruhr no longer has to work hard to select lone individuals, and can just swarm them.

There were some unexpected changes in the process of the first battle. When the insect swarm participated in the siege with a numerical advantage of more than ten times, these native creatures would directly choose to flee. What is embarrassing is that the insects without the ability to jump in short-range space The group couldn't catch up.

Ruhr had to adjust his strategy, and finally got some "rules" through trial and error, that is, when the number of enemies of the same size is less than four times, the opponent is likely to choose to fight instead of fleeing. Once this number is exceeded, the probability of fleeing will decrease. It will increase dramatically!

This phenomenon itself represents some information, but Ruhr did not think too much at this time. It just completed Zero's mission faithfully and provided the main universe with the necessary research materials.

If Zero were in control of all this, he would immediately think that the existence of such a life-saving mechanism for these creatures most likely means that there are also existences that prey on them here. Faced with both ordinary insect species and enhanced insect swarms, This completely different attitude also means that they have extremely keen recognition of substances similar to their own bodies!

When this information is gathered together, an obvious conclusion can be drawn. When faced with a swarm of insects, they can easily tell whether the enemy is a threat to them.

The source of all this is obviously not the skins left after being devoured by their soul bodies, it is just the cheapest thing on their bodies!

After all, Ruhr's siege had its due effect. The first batch of Zerg units to attack brought back 634 corpses with varying degrees of mutilation.

Since the opponent is immune to most of the Zerg's attack methods, they can only use the most primitive method to bite and fight with the opponent in the dark, and ultimately win with numerical superiority.

But no matter what, the new research material is considered to have been obtained.

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

Ruhr saw an extremely complex structure that surpassed any natural life in the explored universe. In that small area, less than a square centimeter in size, there were more than ten million "pathways" that were incomprehensible.

It can be said that these creatures are simply composed of endless large and small pathways, connecting the whole body!

There is something unique inside the body. It is made of a strange substance that accounts for a very small proportion of the body weight, only about one percent. It is speculated that it may be a structure similar to the brain.

And this substance exudes a wave that Ruhl is quite familiar with - spiritual energy.

Of course, spiritual energy is not a substance, but it does contain the familiar power that Rule felt from Sass!
