Report

The Zerg's expansion was faster than Fangzheng had imagined.

The reason why Fangzheng chose to summon the Zerg in the world of "Edge of Tomorrow" was that he wanted to try out the usage of the soul stone, and he wanted to see how the Zerg would multiply in such a world. That was because the Zerg in the game needed resources such as crystal mines and high-energy gas to develop. But the Earth in this world definitely didn't have these resources, so could the Zerg still develop?

As it turned out, there was no problem at all.

After experimenting, Fangzheng was surprised to find that the Zerg actually didn't need crystal mines and high-energy gas at all. And unlike the game, the Zerg here wouldn't be stupid enough to wait for Fangzheng to find the minerals before converting and harvesting them. On the contrary, the Zerg's worker drones would actively search for the resources they needed. Once they found a resource that they thought was useful, they would report it to Fangzheng through telepathy. After Fangzheng nodded, they would immediately start harvesting these resources.

Out of curiosity, Fangzheng had also seen the minerals they collected. As a result, he found that these Zerg were almost not picky about anything, from coal, copper, iron, to oil and gas. As long as they could be used, they would collect everything and pack it away. At first, Fangzheng was quite surprised to see this scene, but after listening to Milune's explanation, he understood. What the Zerg needed was energy, but there was only a certain amount of energy. There was no particularly obvious difference. The game's restriction of crystal mines and high-energy gas was probably a design requirement, but in reality, the Zerg were obviously not so picky. As long as they could produce energy, they didn't care about anything else.

So at this time, Fangzheng finally understood why the Zerg in that world never worried about resource shortage and consumption. They directly solved the problem with F2A. If the Zerg were really so picky, then it was understandable that they were so fast and strong.

The development of the Zerg was quite smooth. There were several mines in the outer forest, but perhaps because of the battle with the aliens, these mines were basically abandoned. Therefore, Fangzheng did not hesitate to order the worker drones to occupy these mines and began to harvest resources. Soon, larvae hatched from the hive, and various insectoid buildings began to be built in the forest.

However, Fangzheng was still worried because he remembered that the big boss in "Edge of Tomorrow" could load. If it resets, would he have to start from the beginning again?

Fortunately, Milune, the Insect Queen, gave Fangzheng a very good suggestion. It suggested that Fangzheng kill some of the mimicry aliens. This way, as long as the Zerg could obtain the flesh and blood of these mimicry aliens, they could devour and modify their genes to obtain their unique powers. Although these mimicry aliens were powerful, that ability would not affect them.

Thinking about it carefully, Fangzheng found that what Milune said made sense. It was true that the alien boss could manipulate time, but it seemed that its ability couldn't affect his soldiers. After all, aliens couldn't appear out of thin air. If the aliens had to start from the beginning every time they loaded, their numbers would certainly not be so large, especially since the alien boss had already controlled most of Europe. Especially since the alien Boss had taken control of most of Europe, it would be very troublesome if it had to produce new soldiers every time it was reset.

On the other hand, if the alien creatures were not affected by it, their numbers would increase every time the time was reset. Considering that the ability to manipulate time was something that the alien creatures had been using for a long time, it was not impossible for them to use it as the core to play a snowball game.

Of course, all this was just speculation at the moment, but it didn't matter. Fangzheng had received news that in two days, humans would set foot on the west coast of France to launch a full-scale counterattack against the aliens. This also meant that the plot of "Edge of Tomorrow" would begin. If he could obtain the alien genes before that, then no matter how Tom Cruise loaded, it would not affect him.

But now …

"Let's start hunting."

Looking at the abandoned town in front of him, Fangzheng whispered to himself, then walked in quickly.

The aliens' offensive was getting fiercer. Right now, Fangzheng was not in the small town he came from, but in an abandoned town on the frontline battlefield. Although the aliens were cruel and cunning, the greed of humans was not inferior to them. In the bar, Fangzheng had heard more than once that some people would sneak into these abandoned places to look for expensive things to sell back. Of course, it was also very dangerous. After all, the aliens usually hid underground and rarely showed their faces.

It seemed that he would have to face a few Eye Bugs when fighting these guys.

With messy thoughts in his mind, Fangzheng strolled into the town. The place had been completely destroyed by the flames of war. Only large areas of ruins could be seen, but Fangzheng did not care. He now had the psionic ability of the Queen of Blades, so he could easily sense the energy fluctuations around him. Therefore, Fangzheng soon discovered that there were several living beings hiding in the ruins not far away.

Are they over there?

Raising the pistol, Fangzheng walked cautiously towards the ruins. He got this pistol from the unlucky hooligans who died tragically. The dead couldn't use it anyway, so he might as well keep it.

Three meters, two meters, one meter.

"Boom!!"

Just as Fangzheng passed by the ruins, the collapsed house next to him suddenly burst open, and a monster rushed out from inside.

It was a very strange thing. It looked like a collection of a large number of cables, forming a four-legged beast-like monster. Although it was huge, it was as fast as a cheetah. It pounced at Fangzheng at its fastest speed. The cables behind it condensed into two tentacles and stabbed at him.

If Fangzheng was just an ordinary person, this blow would have been enough to penetrate his body and turn him into a corpse. But Fangzheng, who had mastered psionic energy, was obviously not so easy to kill. Facing the alien pouncing at him, he waved his right hand. Soon, a psionic shock wave shot out from Fangzheng's hand, hit the huge body of the alien, and sent it flying. At the same time, Fangzheng turned around and ran without hesitation.

"Roar —! Roar —! "

Although it suffered a heavy blow, the monster was not killed. It turned over, got up with its incomplete body, and chased after Fangzheng with a roar. Accompanied by the monster's roar, two more aliens jumped out from the side, one on the left and one on the right, trying to block Fangzheng's way.

But Fangzheng's speed was beyond the imagination of these aliens. His body flashed blue, and the next moment, he suddenly disappeared, then appeared behind the two aliens out of thin air. Seeing this scene, the two aliens were also stunned. It seemed that they didn't expect this human to have such a strange power. But their reaction was not slow. They hurriedly turned around and chased after Sheyan. At the same time, the tentacles on their back raised again, condensing a dazzling light, and then shot out energy bombs.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Energy bombs the size of cannonballs exploded around Fangzheng's body, but with the protection of the psionic shield, he did not suffer any damage. Fangzheng ran wildly while secretly calculating the strength of these aliens.

They seemed to only have one form, but in this form, they were omnipotent. They could be long-range, close-range, air, and ground attacks. They could be regarded as a jack-of-all-trades. However, their bodies were not hard. Judging from the fact that human bullets could easily tear their bodies apart in the movies, it could be seen that these aliens were very fragile.

But the Zergs seemed to be similar.

Thinking of this, Fangzheng swept a glance at the three figures chasing behind him. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The next moment, a blue light flashed, and Fangzheng disappeared into thin air.

"— — — —?"

Realizing that the prey they were chasing suddenly disappeared, the three aliens stopped moving forward in surprise. They waved their tentacles and vigilantly watched the surroundings.

It was only now that these alien monsters realized that they had entered the forest in pursuit of the human. They hesitated for a moment before turning around to leave.

But Fangzheng obviously didn't bring them here to play hide-and-seek.

"Swish!"

Just as the three aliens turned around, the ground around them suddenly rose up. Then, one after another, Hydralisks jumped out and pounced on the enemies in front of them.
