340: Disconnection mechanism
The structure of the Zerg is like a beehive, where pheromones are used to transmit signals, allowing the Broodmother to easily command the massive Zerg Swarm.
The transmission of pheromones is not a simple scent, but a field similar to the spirit net.
When Ye Su and Fen Tian evolved pheromone sacs,
they were able to connect to this local area network.
Hmm—the pinned message at the top was the Broodmother's command, while the surrounding Zerg's chat continuously scrolled by.
However,
the quality of the Zerg's chat was very poor.
It was either 'eat eat eat', or 'mate mate mate', and even some crazed idiots 'kill kill kill'—Ye Su tried to chat with Fen Tian using pheromones.
Believe it or not, it was actually quite useful.
"This Zerg pheromone LAN seems even more convenient than the spirit net."
Ye Su said.
Fen Tian quickly responded;
"True, but thinking about it, this is only reasonable. If there were some VIP system, the Zerg would be finished. If the Broodmother's orders couldn't get through, how would the Zerg even fight!"
"Hehe... say, do you think we could..."
"Don't even think about it. Obviously, the pheromone LAN is supported by rules, otherwise it couldn't cover the area and move with the Broodmother."
"Alright..."
Ye Su was like a child from the backwoods, wanting to take everything home.
Bang—a kick.
Fen Tian kicked away a Zerg that was trying to mate.
Damn, good eye, actually looking at an Ascension Six... kid has a future.
Ye Su grumbled inwardly.
However, he didn't forget the real goal.
This Zerg Swarm was constantly sweeping through the North Star Sector, and as time passed,
other Zerg Swarms would merge in from time to time.
It was as if everyone was a red blood cell, traveling along a fixed route, delivering nutrients to every area.
If that's the case,
then—where is the heart?
Right, where is the heart?
The source of the black pearl is the heart!
After chatting with Fen Tian for a while, Ye Su quieted down, silently waiting to arrive at the heart.
The Broodmother's pheromones arrived instantly.
After a pinned message appeared,
the entire Zerg Swarm turned quickly and finally charged towards a massive flesh-and-blood nest.
It was the Brood Hive.
The place where the Broodmother resided.
"Ye Su..."
"Let's go, don't be afraid, we are Zerg!"
Ye Su was being reckless.
Taking advantage of the fact that he had now become a Zerg, he had no taboos.
"Let's get this straight, I'm not afraid, this Broodmother looks like an Ascension Five level, but you... hey, what are you doing..."
Before Fen Tian could finish his sentence, he was dumbfounded.
Ye Su had already squeezed through the Zerg Swarm, grabbing one of Fen Tian's insect legs and refusing to let go.
"Senior, help me, Senior, save me, Senior, pull me up..."
Fen Tian was a genuine Ascension Six; as long as he held onto this thigh, nothing would go wrong.
Once an Ascension Six fully erupted, this entire Star Domain would be covered in flames.
Steady as a rock— "You really are—"
Fen Tian was speechless.
Ye Su's survival principles were face-palmingly shameless.
He was a Genius-level existence himself and had support behind him.
But as soon as the situation turned bad, he immediately clung to a thigh.
Fine, fine, fine.
No wonder you can survive all sorts of Dungeons.
Who can survive better than you!
Of course.
Fen Tian also had to ensure Ye Su's survival.
Regarding the matters of the Sun Worship Cult, he still needed Ye Su to handle them.
It wasn't a joke that the Golden Crow sought out Ye Su.
Because it believed that only this enemy understood it better and knew how it could survive.
The Golden Crow Clan...
was too restricted.
Before they could even make a grand move, the news would likely explode across the Universe.
That wouldn't be self-rescue; it would be suicide.
Furthermore,
ever since Fen Tian appeared, Ye Su hadn't played any little mind games with him.
In the early stages, everyone was quite pleasant.
Now they were just opening a side quest; after all, anyone who encountered such a mysterious power wouldn't be able to resist investigating it.
"Zerg don't have fixed positions in the Brood Hive, so we have to fight for one."
Fen Tian showed some real skill.
This was Zerg information, but ordinary people wouldn't have access to it.
Who the hell would study the living standards of Zerg in a Brood Hive!
"So—"
The Fen Tian Insect charged forward with the Ye Su Insect.
Curses from other Zerg kept coming through the LAN, but the two of them turned a deaf ear.
They forced their way to the very front.
Just as the outline of the Brood Hive appeared in Ye Su's eyes, the two of them rushed into a hive chamber.
A flesh-and-blood chamber, dripping with disgusting mucus.
But the Zerg wouldn't find it disgusting.
The Fen Tian Insect quickly found a good spot and dove in with the Ye Su Insect.
Then,
the flesh writhed, and the meat walls enveloped the two insects.
Puchi, puchi...
Something sharp pierced their bodies, and nutrient fluid was pumped in as if it were free and life-saving.
"Holy crap, what is this? Drinking milk?"
Ye Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This experience... what a damn dark history!
"It's just nutrient fluid."
Fen Tian was an old hand in the Jianghu after all; he didn't care at all and even manipulated his flesh to continuously absorb the nutrients.
"Sure enough, Ye Su, don't just stand there. In this Brood Hive's nutrient fluid, there is Flesh and Blood Power!"
Ye Su's eyes lit up.
He began to manipulate his flesh, directly evolving several stomach sacs to absorb and assimilate it.
Indeed.
In this nutrient fluid, there was not only Flesh and Blood Power but also very reasonably proportioned and gentle nutrients.
When the Flesh and Blood Power evolved physical strength, there was no need to worry about nutrients not keeping up.
"Senior, I feel like I'm getting stronger, but I'm feeling nervous!"
Ye Su said.
"Stop talking, I'm nervous too!"
"What on earth are the Zerg planning?"
Fen Tian couldn't sweat right now.
If he really could, he would be covered in a cold sweat.
This Zerg—using Flesh and Blood Power to constantly strengthen their kin, making individual Zerg units stronger and stronger...
It...
It couldn't be wanting to take on the whole world!
One must know that under the current unspoken rules and various copyright-like restrictions of the Universe, the Zerg were the most restricted.
The greatest rule of the Zerg was that there were no rules.
They could eat anything.
Or kill anything.
The more rules there were, the more they were bound.
And now,
the Zerg were finding another path, desperately strengthening themselves.
This...
If your neighbor is frantically hoarding guns, you wouldn't think he just likes collecting them.
With many soldiers and generals, is it for war or just to look good?
"Eh, the spirit net is connected..."
Suddenly, Ye Su felt something strange.
He could actually connect to the spirit net.
"Don't use it yet..."
Fen Tian said.
Just as he finished speaking,
Mechanical Race members charged directly into the Brood Hive and pulled Zerg out of the chambers one by one.
They took out Spirit Net Login Devices from their stomachs.
Those Spirit Net Login Devices
were all in a connected state at that moment.
"As expected, it's fake. I'm a spirit net premium member."
Fen Tian said;
"Both disconnection and connection have protection mechanisms."
"It's to prevent someone from simulating a network disconnection, making you lose focus and causing a distraction in battle."
"It seems the Zerg are very well prepared."
"There are quite a few people like us, fishing in troubled waters."
