Facing the suspicions of so many zergs, Sheyan chuckled as he continued.
"If I intend to make you cover your nose, the most effective method isn't to pull your hand to cover your nose, but to directly punch your nose. Similarly, to make the Thick-liquid tribe's Overmind do as I wish, it isn't necessary to hypnotize it. "
Hearing till here, Mogensha's face exposed a look of disbelief.
"I understand, don't tell me ….. don't tell me today's invasion of the incubation pool, was actually because you and the Mother of the Blackthorns intentionally abandoned it?"
Sheyan lowered his voice and continued.
"That's right! Producing a single hydralisk consumes an energy crystal, it can be used to produce 3 zerglings. Moreover, this doesn't include the minor consumption of the accompanying mineral gas! But I believe everyone knows, under the same conditions, only 2 zerglings are required to slay a single hydralisk! (Honorable Book Friend: Honglian Ying personally tested it, Interstellar Version 1.13) The Thick-liquid tribe's Overmind should be clear about such a simple logic. Therefore, under the current situation where the Blackthorn tribe can only produce hydralisks, producing zerglings is obviously the best choice. "
Speaking till here, Sheyan paused for a moment.
"Furthermore, we must further consider that after our hatching pond was destroyed, the Thick-liquid tribe's Overmind's future plans, the Blackthorn tribe is already in the bag. Absorbing the Blackthorn Overmind, Mozi's strength, is a matter that is set in stone. What it needs to consider next is obviously the key problem of its own advancement and the advancement of the entire Mother Nest. Then … it's only right to conserve as much of the rare mineral gas that will be consumed after upgrading the Mother Nest to class II! "
"Therefore, under the influence of these two major factors, it is logical that we don't need any hypnosis, control or enticement. We only need to construct a large number of Sunken Colonies to protect the safety of the Mother of the Blackthorns. Then, we will do a small matter – to unknowingly abandon the incubation pool. Then, the Thick-liquid Overmind will be extremely willing to do as I wish. You see, this series of reasoning is very simple, isn't it? "
No one answered Sheyan, because they (including the Queen zerg) were all speechless. Everyone could understand what Sheyan was saying. It wasn't complicated, but to be able to connect the dots and connect the dots required an extremely powerful logical thinking and imagination!
Sheyan was obviously very satisfied with the shock he brought to the crowd, as he raised his voice.
"Hey, Empress Jenny, the information that the Mother Nest shared with me didn't mention anything about what you would do once the Pandora crystals are all harvested. Are we going to starve to death? "
Zerg Queen Jenny sent a message over.
"Of course not, before the ore veins are completely harvested, we will continue to explore other areas of the planet for Pandora ore veins, and then establish a sub base. Once the ore veins here are completely harvested, the sub base will become the main base."
"Oh?" Sheyan asked with interest, "What if the mineral vein is too far away?"
Zerg Queen Jenny explained.
"Once the Overmind and Queen zerg both upgrade to 'II' class, the Overmind will be able to command the Overlord to carry all the mobile units. Almost all the organ structures will rapidly shrink, dehydrate, and transform into gigantic embryos, which can then be transported away by the Overlord. The Mother Nest will then evolve into a formidable super worker bee and be transported away."
"Once we reach our destination, the Mother Nest will then transform into a super worker bee and rapidly hatch into a 'II' class (or higher) Mother Nest. It will then occupy the mineral vein, and then plant the embryos of the organ structures on top of the 'Creep' carpet. This entire process will require roughly an hour. As for us zergs, we only require the consumption of Pandora crystals, Gas, and rare ores during incubation. After incubation, we rely on the Overlord to absorb nutrients from the 'Creep' carpet and synthesize food to survive. As for the Overlord's consumption of Pandora crystals to synthesize food, that is negligible. "
After Zerg Queen Jenny finished answering Sheyan's question, the entire Overlord's space remained silent. After a while, the heavy firepower Baiise droned out.
"Second Lieutenant, how long are we going to stay in this damned meat can for?"
"Do you know why I incessantly ordered the Mother Nest to dispatch hydralisks to their deaths? It is because I want these Thick-liquid arachnids to get used to the incessant sounds of battle, causing their nerves to tense up every once in a while. Therefore, when true danger arrives, their reactions will be delayed by a second or two. "
Sheyan gazed into the distance.
"Right now, the time is ripe. When the next batch of hydralisks arrive, that will be our chance to infiltrate! Everyone, immediately gather the fluids collected from the Thick-liquid arachnids and drench them! "
The Mother of the Blackthorns faithfully carried out the agreement. Roughly every 15 minutes, it would dispatch a squad of hydralisks to launch a suicidal attack. Controlling 12 hydralisks was more than enough, as it spat to the east, spitting to the west to launch a harassment campaign to eliminate the enemy's strength. Because the Mother of the Blackthorns knew that this was a matter of life and death, she displayed extreme patience.
Initially, the Thick-liquid Overmind could still counter every move, even commanding the injured troops to advance and retreat in order to reduce their losses. But after a few more times, it no longer wanted to dawdle with these sticky candy tactics. Instead, it directly dispatched the superior zerglings to swarm forward, using brute force to break through. Although this method would result in more casualties, it was a straightforward victory. This was like how if you were worth millions, you wouldn't quarrel with a public toilet auntie over 50 cents or 30 cents to pee.
From afar, the silhouettes of the Blackthorn hydralisks once again appeared in the barren desert. Another batch of Blackthorn tribe's hydralisks had arrived to disrupt the enemy's line of sight. While they consecutively sprayed two scouting zerglings to death, an entire 3 squads of zerglings swarmed out from the Thick-liquid tribe's base. Their imposing manner was overbearing, like they were about to wrap up dumplings!
Although at present, the Thick-liquid tribe had already reproduced hundreds of zerglings, in addition to their own garrisoned troops, the territory of this tribe was still exceedingly vast. Just the colossal lairs used to produce larvae, amounted to nearly 13 of them! The size of this place was almost equivalent to a skyscraper. With such a distribution, the garrisoned troops appeared sparse and unremarkable.
Right at this moment, an enormous Overlord stealthily circled around, drifting towards the Thick-liquid tribe's Mother nest. Under normal circumstances, the Overmind would reside at the lowest level of the Mother nest. That was also where the pandora crystals were accumulated. The Overmind could utilize its formidable mental strength to directly absorb the energies within. According to convention, if the Blackthorn tribe's Overmind were to be imprisoned, it would most likely be in this most heavily guarded area!
The Overlord's gliding movements had alarmed several patrolling hydralisks and zerglings. But after they hastily sniffed around with their noses, they resumed their patrolling. Regretfully, such luck only persisted until the Overlord was within 50 metres of the Mother nest.
In any arachnid tribe, the 50 metre radius of the Mother nest was a forbidden zone. Apart from the Overmind and its specially permitted elite guards, no other living creatures were allowed to approach. Even if they accidentally entered, they would be slaughtered without mercy. Although there was only a single Sunken Colony here, its position was extremely crucial. Any creature that attempted to approach the Mother nest from the ground would have to suffer its wrath. Although it was unable to attack the Overlord in the air, an elite hydralisk by its side had already started puffing out its cheeks, as it sprayed out scorching dark-green acid into the air.
Simultaneously, at the empty space in front of the Mother nest's sole entrance, a shockingly viscous liquid gushed out. "Rumble rumble rumble!" Close to 20 ferocious and massive zerglings drilled out from the ground. They shook their bodies and tails, baring their razor-sharp fangs at the rapidly approaching Overlord Shenxu. These 20 elite zerglings were the product of genetic mutation. Regardless of HP or attack, they weren't inferior to the two zerglings of the Sheyan party! They dispersed in a flash, as they blocked off the entrance to the Mother nest's basement.
Simultaneously, the entire base's zerglings became incomparably restless, as they flocked towards the Mother nest. Naturally, the Thick-liquid tribe's Overmind had sensed the enemy's intentions. It was incomparably furious, as it commanded its underlings to tear these bastards who dared to covet its life into shreds! Then, it would suck their brains dry!
Although the attacking elite hydralisk's attack was several times that of an ordinary hydralisk, one mustn't forget, Shenxu was also a mutated elite Overlord! At present, its flying speed had been raised to its maximum, with only one objective. That was to reach the empty space in front of the Mother nest and drop off the passengers! As for how to deal with the 20 elite zerglings and the assault of the Sunken Colony, that wasn't something that Shenxu's simple neural node could consider.
A mere 50 metres of distance, yet it felt as long as 50,000 kilometres! If not for the success of Sheyan's previous scheme, which resulted in the entire Thick-liquid tribe's base producing only a few hydralisks, even if Shenxu was an elite amongst elites, an overlord amongst elites, he would've long been beaten down a hundred times over. Instead, the fate of that elite hydralisk was even more tragic! It had just spat out two dark-green mucus, when from afar, a black shadow soared in from the skies. It was indeed the elite zerg Queen Jenny!
Her abdomen contracted, as a high-speed black shadow shot out. In a flash, it traversed hundreds of metres, directly pouncing onto the elite hydralisk's body! The elite hydralisk was stunned in its spot. Within a short span of seconds, its body rotted and collapsed. From within, two six-legged gigantic zerglings leapt out. These two zerglings appeared much more malevolent than ordinary zerglings, but their movement speed was much slower.
*****
Let me continue to interact with everyone.
Just now, I wrote about the ability used by the elite zerg Queen Jenny.
What's the name of the ability that killed the hydralisk?
Yep yep, same old rules, see you in the book review section. Come and you'll get points, heh heh. (To be continued.
