The fracture with a diameter of more than ten meters was like a sinkhole located in the center of the military base. Under the sinkhole, about five hundred meters deep, was the underground bunker designed by the Rothschild Group for the purpose of experiments.
At this moment, this underground bunker no longer had the slightest breath of living beings. It was completely covered by a suspicious blood-red meat bubble, exuding a disgusting stench. If one were to suppress their nausea and take a closer look, they would discover that the surface of the meat bubble was covered with densely packed sesame-sized pustules.
Whenever the pustules burst, spores would be released from it. With the efforts of these thousands of meat bubbles, countless spores were born at every moment and floated to the surface through the entrance, contributing to the expansion of the nest.
In the center of the underground research institute, the mountain of meat resembling the roots of a tree bulged with fat meat bubbles. As the core of the nest, it was not only the heart of the nest but also the "central processor" of the nest. The tentacles that spread from the soles of its feet and the top of its head were like data cables connecting the host and the child computers.
In its abdomen, there was a coffin carved from resin material, or rather, a "culture cabin". Unlike the flesh-red broodmother nest, this pitch-black incubator looked very sturdy. Through the translucent membrane, a person could be vaguely seen lying inside.
He opened his eyes and looked at the line of numbers on the translucent membrane.
【14731】
Four thousand of them were refugee recruits that he had brought underground. Another three thousand or so came from his personal guards and the researchers of the underground research institute. Most of the seven thousand or so people were contributed by the mercenaries and rioters who were fighting in the base. Just now, the British had also contributed about six to seven hundred people to him.
Each person could contribute two units of organic matter. He had already consumed half of the organic matter to strengthen the nest and incubate the mutants.
"Not enough."
Carmen, who was lying in the culture tank, shook his head and began to reflect on whether he had gone too far just now.
If he did not wipe them out in one fell swoop, he might be able to give the British the illusion that they were so close to winning, and then send more people to fill this pit, providing him with more organic matter, and strengthening his power.
But now, the British seemed to be more cautious.
In addition to constantly bombarding this area, they no longer sent people in.
Upgrading the nest to level two required 500,000 units of organic matter.
There were two ways to obtain organic matter. One was the most primitive photosynthesis, which could slowly grow as long as one waited. The other method was the fastest, simplest, and crudest, and that was to constantly eat. By devouring living creatures and digesting their flesh, they could strengthen themselves.
Of course, Carmen was more inclined to the latter. If she relied on photosynthesis to obtain organic matter from the soil and air, it would take centuries for the broodmother's domain to expand to cover the entire world. However, if he relied on continuous devouring, he could complete a transformation that would take centuries to complete in just a few days.
Thinking of this, Carmen's face flashed a trace of hatred.
The reason he chose this place as the nest was because of the refugee camp next to the military base with a population of nearly 500,000. If he had swallowed the refugee camp's population and then the nearby town of Paltamo, he would have completed the first stage of evolution a long time ago!
The Level Two Mother Nest would have even more terrifying power. Not only would the hunting range of the mutants increase to a hundred kilometers, but he would also be able to unlock a new "soldier" type.
For example, there was a monster called Roshan, which was said to be able to withstand the bullets of a tank shell with its fat alone.
However, because of Jiang Chen's sudden appearance, all his plans fell through.
Thinking of this, his teeth clenched tightly together and made a cracking sound.
The spores were his eyes and ears, and he could clearly sense everything that happened in the area covered by the spores. He was certain that night. He "saw" Jiang Chen in the military base, but unfortunately, he couldn't make him stay.
This was the broodmother's suggestion, and a thought appeared in his mind.
Without the cumbersome vocal cords, there were naturally no language and expression barriers. The direct communication through consciousness made Carmen feel unprecedented convenience. This was also one of the reasons why he admired the Golden Apple so much after witnessing the greatness of biological civilization.
Carmen replied in his mind, closed his eyes, and connected his consciousness with the control center of the nest.
Rows of simplified upgrade lists appeared in front of him. After careful screening, he allocated 5,000 organic matter points to strengthen the wings of the "Blade Warrior".
The name Blade Warrior was given to the mutant that looked like a mantis. The strengthened Blade Warrior's wings would be longer and more powerful. It would no longer be used as an auxiliary to enhance jumping ability, but it would be a real pair of wings that could allow short-distance flight.
As Carmen finished distributing the organic matter, clusters of indescribable slurry flowed along the pipe to the pile of insect eggs in front of the nest. With the input of organic matter, the insect eggs began to mutate. At the same time, the new "Blade Warrior" that was about to break out of the cocoon was also mutated.
These insect eggs were the hotbeds for breeding mutants. For him, it was like a "barracks".
Just then, there was a violent tremor on the ceiling.
Carmen raised his eyelids slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face.
The soil above the fallout shelter had been reinforced by the nest. The roots of the fiber material weaved a layer of "bulletproof armor" 500 meters thick in the soil. The explosion-proof and earthquake-resistant ability was comparable to reinforced concrete. The British army threw hundreds of shells on top of his head, but it only blew up a layer of cement.
The reason why the space-based weapon could blow up the entrance was only because the nest had just formed, and he didn't have time to strengthen the entrance …
Suddenly, his expression changed, and at the same time, the consciousness of the nest also appeared in his mind.
"Dammit! It's a space-based weapon from Celestial Trade! "
Carmen cursed. It seemed that he still underestimated the power of Celestial Trade's space-based weapon. He originally thought that a few tungsten rods would at most scratch off a layer of the outer protective layer of the nest, but now it seemed that it was no longer a matter of a layer of skin. The damage to the protective layer already required him to use organic matter to repair. For him, who didn't have much organic matter to begin with, it was enough to break his bones!
The amount of organic matter was consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just as Carmen anxiously mixed organic matter to fill the gap, a series of cracking sounds came from above him.
When Carmen realized what happened, his expression suddenly changed, and his facial muscles twisted.
"FU * K!"
