462: The swarm

Night fell.

In the subway station, though everyone had been hungry all day and weren't feeling great, thinking about the Army arriving by the day after tomorrow at the latest, their moods were still good.

Sleep tonight, and they should be here tomorrow, right?

Thinking this, everyone fell asleep quickly that night.

Having stayed up all night excited yesterday, they were all feeling sleepy now.

Only a few people, too hungry to sleep, tossed and turned.

...

City center area.

This was previously the most densely populated area, but now it was where the most Zombies were.

Among them were not a few mutated Zombies.

Even those evolutionaries mentioned in the news probably wouldn't dare come here.

Nie Fangping, however, had no obstacles.

These past few days, countless broken bodies in the City had been gnawed by Swarm Larva, turning into energy points on his System panel.

Correspondingly, the insect Army behind Nie Fangping now had a certain scale.

Coming to the City center this time was to establish a Nest for the Zerg Army behind him.

For this, he had already created thirty thousand Nest Builders.

At the same time, these dense Zombies in the City center were also clusters of energy!

Nie Fangping hadn't wasted all his time on the people at the subway station during this period.

He was an insect and needed to act for the development of the Zerg.

And this first step was to replace the Army in his fabricated propaganda, clear out the Zombies in the entire Rong City, and turn it into a Zerg base!

Of course.

Nie Fangping had no intention of touching the Zombies within a five-kilometer radius of the subway station.

Even.

Under his command, Tool Worm had even transported quite a few Zombies to that area.

Basically, the shops or Warehouses with food around that area had twice as many Zombies as before!

Completely cutting off the path for those people to obtain food.

Unless he gave them a chance...

...

Pulling attention back to the center of this City.

Between the tall buildings, it was dim.

The scattered moonlight illuminated the floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall buildings covered in vines, contrasting with the piles of Zombies below, making it even darker.

Nie Fangping's gaze, however, pierced through the horde of corpses, looking at a huge figure lurking in a tall building.

Mutated Zombie.

He didn't know how much energy this Zombie was worth.

As his thoughts stirred slightly, Nie Fangping seemed to be manipulating countless lines of thought.

The next moment, behind him, bursts of wing vibrations erupted!

Under the moonlit night, the cold white light formed by the swarm of insects covered half the sky!

It was like a moon crashing towards the earth, the brilliant white light giving people an extreme chill!

This was the Army of one hundred thousand Blade Worm that Nie Fangping had built over the past few days through constantly expanding insect Nests everywhere!

And in the space below, those earthy yellow, palm-sized insects flying with thick, heavy armor were ten thousand Armor Worms, specializing in defense.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"

As the Blade Worm vibrated their wings, it was like the metallic tremor of countless knives.

Passing through the long sky, they directly swarmed towards the Grade A mutated Zombie in the building!

"Pfft pfft pfft ~"

The strangulation formation formed by the swirling one hundred thousand Blade Worm instantly fell upon this colossal creature, which was four to five meters tall!

In an instant.

This mutated Zombie, whose muscles bulged like rock and whose flesh and blood were difficult to penetrate even with firearms, exploded with large amounts of fresh blood!

Countless flesh and blood tissues all over its body were literally ripped open by the sharp insect wings of the swarm, like knives!

"Roar!!"

Unlike those Zombies that hadn't mutated and evolved.

This evolved Zombie already possessed pain sensation.

The sudden pain caused this mutated Zombie to instantly leap from its spot, its bloodthirsty pupils looking at the insect swarm in front of it with terror.

As the insect swarm vibrated, large pieces of cut skin and tissue scattered on the ground.

"Buzz buzz buzz ~"

The flying Blade Worm continued to attack.

And being pushed like this, the mutated Zombie also felt an unknown rage.

For so long, it had stayed here so peacefully, no existence daring to come to its territory.

Now, these insects not only came to its territory but even attacked it!

"Roar!" Its arm, as large as a tree stump, slammed down towards the hazy white insect swarm!

The mutated Zombie was very confident in its strength.

Before, it had smashed the heavy armor cars driven by those two-legged beasts with a single punch!

Strength measured in tons poured down with the mutated Zombie's arms.

But at this moment, a large area of earthy yellow heavy shields suddenly appeared directly in front of the mutated Zombie's attack.

It was the Armor Worm.

The shield formed by nearly ten thousand Armor Worms directly blocked the Blade Worm.

"Boom!"

A visible dust shockwave directly swept the surrounding rubble and debris out of the entire floor!

The mutated Zombie only felt a sharp pain in its arm.

It was like hitting a steel block, and the rebounding force made the mutated Zombie sway for a while.

The injuries it had sustained before also burst open by who knows how much!

Correspondingly.

Nearly a hundred of the Armor Worms forming the shield were instantly smashed to death at this moment.

However, for a number of over ten thousand, such a small loss was not worth mentioning.

And after the Armor Worms blocked this attack, the Blade Worm behind, while the mutated Zombie was swaying, surged up again!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"

After repeated scouring, it was like bone-scraping knives.

Pieces of black blood splattered out.

The mutated Zombie's roars also went from initial madness to later weakness, and finally to silent solitude.

After one minute.

The massive mutated Zombie was directly reduced to a skeleton!

Pieces of cut flesh scattered on the ground.

Large numbers of Swarm Larva, like an extension of the night, instantly covered it.

Nie Fangping could still see.

The dozens of Armor Worms that had died in battle before also became one of the targets of the Swarm Larva's consumption.

A dead Armor Worm, after being recycled by the Swarm Larva, could retain about ninety percent of its original energy.

A few minutes later, this recycled energy could be nurtured and born again through the insect Nests of various sizes in the City!

This was the Zerg.

A race that could mass-produce soldiers without fear of losses!

A few minutes later, the mutated Zombie, which was enough to destroy a Human company, turned into a thousand energy points, appearing on the System panel.

A thousand energy points no longer held any attraction for Nie Fangping.

His first move against this mutated Zombie was also to see the capabilities of this Army of over a hundred thousand insects.

Clearly.

The insect swarm, now taking shape, already possessed the might of world destruction.

Not long after.

In the building, a Tool Worm brought a dark red crystal in front of Nie Fangping.

"This is?"

Seeing this thing, Nie Fangping understood the meaning of the Tool Worm in front of him.

This was something the insect swarm had searched out from the mutated Zombie's corpse after it died.

"Ding ~ Detected Grade A crystal."

"Crystals can be used by Humans to increase their strength and evolve into evolutionaries."

Ye Tian was looking through the original work in the System space, and at the same time, he answered Nie Fangping with the description of this thing from the original work.

"Something for Humans to use..." Nie Fangping's interest greatly diminished.

There was a lot of energy in it; it would be better to convert it into energy points.

"Host can use the crystal to increase the strength and control of the ""Human Body Shell""."
