Start From Skull Island and Push the World
Chapter 104 Zerg Underground Palace (Please subscribe~~~)
Zerg mothers are huge.
How big is it?
To the point where film companies are reluctant to do special effects!
When Ding Zheng was watching "Starship Troopers 3".
The size of the Zerg mother has only appeared on the computer.
Covering a small half of the earth, it looks extremely exaggerated.
As for what the entity actually looks like, it has never been revealed.
After all, if you think about it, you know that it is not easy to make such a big thing.
Now I can see with my own eyes what this Zerg mother insect looks like.
It has to be said that Ding Zheng himself is also looking forward to it.
Five beetles were digging holes nearby, secreting a special mucus from their mouths, which could temporarily fix the holes formed by the unstable sand.
But Ding Zheng followed the brain worm all the way forward, down, Ding Zheng found that the temperature of the desert under his feet began to drop.
When the desert was no longer under his feet, Ding Zheng couldn't help but stop, looked down, and what came into his eyes was a piece of black land, and a thin layer of red plant-like moss. object.
"What is this?" Ding Zheng asked.
The brain worm in front stopped, turned around slowly, took a look, then stretched out the bulb-like mouthparts and put them on the back of Ding Zheng's hand.
"Food?" Ding Zheng's eyes widened in doubt, he squatted down, lay on the ground, and carefully looked at the red "carpets"
"Is this edible? Is it a plant?" it asked.
"This is the only plant on earth. It is food and a source of oxygen. We bury them with sand, and they absorb the heat of the sand to maintain life." The brainworm explained.
Ding Zheng was very puzzled: "Since they are the source of oxygen, if you bury them, then there is no oxygen?"
"It's enough. There is another part that is not buried. The oxygen provided is enough. If we don't bury these, the oxygen will make it difficult for us to survive." The brain worm said.
"Yes!" Ding Zheng suddenly remembered the saying that too much oxygen can cause oxygen poisoning.
It felt very miraculous, and he couldn't imagine what happened to this earth.
"By the way, is this the only plant on earth?" Ding Zheng asked.
"Yes."
"So you are holding this thing, breathing oxygen and eating at the same time?"
"Yes."
"Can I eat it?"
"I don't know, you can try." The brainworm replied very seriously.
Ding Zheng just glanced at it, and then stood up. Naturally, it didn't dare to try.
Although its body's poison resistance is very high, there may be someone who can poison him, just like kryptonite that can easily knock down Superman.
And now, although these Zergs are very kind, Ding Zheng is still vigilant, and he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.
"Can you eat enough of these things?" Ding Zheng felt a little strange, "You are all so big."
"We are light in weight. Although we are large in size, almost all of our bodies are filled with water and other substances, such as oil or air. We can live by eating ore."
The cerebrum just finished speaking.
Sudden.
The Zerg that Ding Zheng had caught before suddenly jumped out from the side, hugging its forelimbs together, with a small stone in between, not even as big as its mouth.
Moreover, Chongzi rubbed the back of Ding Zheng's hand with his forelegs, and when Ding Zheng turned around, he lifted his upper body up, and put the stone caught in front of Ding Zheng like a puppy whose owner offered treasure.
"Hey!" Ding Zheng first smiled at the weird movement of the bug, and then moved his gaze to the stone. Immediately, the smile on his face froze!
"This!" Ding Zheng's eyes widened, he glanced at the worm, and then at the brain worm, his face full of surprise!
"This is another kind of food for us. These plants on the ground allow us to maintain our life state, and these stones allow us to maintain our action energy." The brain worm explained in a timely manner.
At this time, Ding Zheng had already focused all his attention on the stone in front of him, and was completely stunned.
Because Ding Zheng is so familiar with this stone!
This is like a crystal-like stone that is not completely transparent. It was found on both Skull Island and Nubra Island. It was also discovered by Ding Zheng on the Chitauri, supporting the Chitauri and the Chitauri. A mysterious ore that moves like a whale!
"Why do you have this?" Ding Zheng blurted out, and then immediately corrected his own question: "When did you find this thing?"
The mouthparts of the cerebrum continued to slide on the back of Ding Zheng's hand, expressing his meaning: "I have had it since I was born, and we all grew up eating this."
"Hasn't your mother worm introduced this to you?"
"No."
"Okay..." Ding Zheng was speechless, and then he realized that these Zergs had no concept of history in their heads.
If Zerg is compared to human beings, the current development of Zerg should be in the form of primitive people, and they are still trying to figure out how to survive in such a harsh environment as the earth. History is not history. For them, it is completely Meaningless.
"But the female worm should know more than me. The female worm is the first worm in the world." The brain worm said again.
Ding Zheng held the stone in his hand and looked it over carefully. If he wanted to meet the female worm before, he wanted to see if the zerg would hinder or help him in his mission.
Now, besides the mission, he had another reason to have to meet the female worm.
The ore in its hand appeared on Skull Island and Nubra Island, and then appeared in the body of the Chitauri, and also appeared on this earth. It is definitely not accidental.
If it can figure out all the secrets of this ore, maybe it can make Skull Island and Nublar Island even stronger!
Moreover, what surprised Ding Zheng even more.
This kind of ore appeared in the mission world.
also foreshadows.
Ding Zheng can use cash points to get more ore.
Coupled with the technology obtained from the Chitauri, if the relationship between these Zergs and ores can be clarified again, then the strength of Skull Island and Nubra Island will undoubtedly have an amazing improvement!
A group of non-humans continued to move forward.
It completely broke away from the sand, and there was a fairly obvious damp breath coming from the front.
Ding Zheng saw a huge and deep tunnel appearing in front of his eyes.
As soon as you walk in, it leads in all directions.
And it's very spacious, enough for two five-meter-tall beetles to move side by side.
It's just that the height is still a little short, only more than six meters.
So Ding Zheng had no choice but to move forward on all fours.
Fortunately, the remaining distance is not very long.
About a day passed.
Ding Zheng finally reached the gathering place of Zerg.
This is an underground palace!
The main body is a huge space, very spacious, almost fifty meters high.
It looks much more spectacular than the underground layer of Isla Nublar.
And on the walls around this space, there are one cave after another, from top to bottom, from left to right, 360 degrees, almost everywhere.
It's like an ant's cave, extending in all directions.
At this time, Ding Zheng had just walked out of a cave.
Looking at these densely packed holes like a honeycomb, Ding Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. This is definitely a desperate situation for trypophobia.
And it is very complicated, it seems that there is no arrangement law.
Just looking at it makes me dizzy.
Ding Zheng felt that if there were no bugs leading the way, it might even get lost.
Insects rely on their sense of smell to determine their path. If they only use their eyes, they can't tell the difference between east, west, north, and east.
A large number of Zergs go back and forth in these passages, doing what they should do, like hardworking bees, orderly, like an assembly line.
And at the bottom of this space, there is a huge pothole.
Originally, this space was very dark, and the eyes were basically useless and could not see anything. If Ding Zheng's eyesight was not strong enough, he would not be able to see clearly.
And the huge pothole below, in such a place, looks even darker, making it impossible for people to see clearly what is inside.
"It's right below." The cerebrum's mouthparts touched the back of Ding Zheng's hand, and then continued to walk down with his head.
Ding Zheng already had a general understanding of the Zerg from the chat with the cerebrate on the road.
Today, the entire Zerg is basically rooted underground.
Because there is nothing on the ground that can support their survival.
In addition to sea water, it is desert, or it is the relics left by human beings in the past.
Of course, this is the situation in the Zerg gathering place. As for other farther places, the Zerg is not very clear about what happened.
With the current ability of the Zerg, they can only do it for the time being, guarding their own one-acre three-point land, growing their own group, and waiting until they can survive on this harsh environment of the earth before they can think of ways to do other things .
Ding Zheng walked in the corridor while looking at the surrounding situation.
Insects are roughly divided into three types.
One is the beetle, which is equivalent to a construction worker. It is the insect that escorted Ding Zheng and the brain worm. It can secrete mucus with its mouth and temporarily fix the hole they dug.
These beetles are responsible for digging and repairing tunnels.
The other is the workers who were taken hostage by Ding Zheng before.
Like worker ants.
They are huge, but they can only be used as two scythes for embracing actions. They can harvest the things in front of them, embrace them, and then bring them to the place where they are needed.
For example, food is given to the mother beetle, or a substance, such as oil, is given to the beetle for work.
Although beetles look huge, they are actually relatively light in weight. They have sacs in their bodies that can hold many things and spit them out for use.
After eating the oil, it can even spit out flames.
The other type is the brain worm who came along the way and was responsible for communicating with Ding Zheng.
They are responsible for the transmission of information throughout the palace. The light bulb-like mouthparts can not only communicate with Ding Zheng, but also can tell other insects what to do by shaking them and sending out sound waves. Thoughts for other bugs.
But only for simple ideas.
If it is too complicated, close contact with Ding Zheng will be needed.
In addition to these three categories, only female insects remain.
The female worm is the largest and most important one in the entire Zerg race.
It is responsible for reproduction, like the queen of an ant colony.
In the entire Zerg race, except for the female insects, the other insects are sterile.
And, according to Ding Zheng's understanding.
Female reproduction is asexual reproduction.
But what makes Ding Zheng quite strange is how the same female worm, using the method of asexual reproduction, can produce three completely different worms?
With such doubts, Ding Zheng followed the brain worm all the way forward.
At the same time, it is ready to transform.
Once these bugs do something wrong, he will take action immediately.
Based on Ding Zheng's previous understanding of these insects, no matter how large the number of these beetles and worker insects are, they are not enough for him to see.
"arrive."
The brain worm stopped at the edge of the huge pit.
At such a close distance, Ding Zheng couldn't see what was in the deep pit, as if all the light had been sucked in.
It stood up, looked down at the bottom of the pit, and said, "Do you want me to jump down?"
"The female worm has come up." The brain worm explained to Ding Zheng.
It took only a short while for the news of the cerebrate to reach Ding Zheng. Immediately, Ding Zheng heard a slight rubbing sound coming from the bottom of the deep pit, and it became louder and louder.
A moment later, a huge black carapace rose from the deep pit, its diameter reached an exaggerated one hundred, almost completely overlapping the deep pit.
It has to be said that this piece of carapace is indeed very large, like a mountain.
Moreover, Ding Zheng felt a little familiar.
It couldn't help squinting its eyes to look at it, and blurted out after a while: "Turtle shell?"
"You know turtles?"
Another voice sounded from the slightly silent deep pit.
This is a neutral voice, full of doubts, but also an irrepressible surprise!
"Are you... from another part of the earth?"
The voice sounded again.
Of course Ding Zheng understood that the sound was coming from the female worm slowly rising in front of his eyes.
But it just frowned, not too surprised.
Compared to the mother worm talking, it was the brain worm communicating with him in that way of thinking, which surprised him even more.
"I come from a place other than the earth." Ding Zheng didn't hesitate for long, and then he brought out the argument he had thought up all the way.
"When I was on Earth, before humans left, a group of alien troops called the Chitauri invaded Earth with wormholes. I drove them out, and another hostile force on Earth took the opportunity to use weapons It exploded into the universe, and the wormhole also closed, leaving me in a universe that is not known how many light-years away from the earth."
Ding Zheng directly spoke about his experience in the main world: "So I have been wandering in the universe. I don't know how many years have passed. Until now, I finally found the earth again, but I didn't expect that the earth has changed. It became like this."
Ding Zheng's words silenced the mother worm.
After a long time, it spoke with pity in its tone: "That human being who caused you to wander in the universe is really bad."
"Hehe, that's right." Ding Zheng couldn't help laughing, agreeing with this sentence.
"It's a pity that you can't find him now. Humans have left the earth, and now we are the only ones on this continent." The mother worm continued, her tone suddenly relaxed again, even with excitement, "I learned how to be human." I have spoken the language for a long time, but until now, I have never had the opportunity to speak it.”
Ding Zheng inexplicably felt that this female worm with a tortoise shell was so friendly and cute, but it did not forget its business. After smiling, he asked seriously: "Can you tell me what happened to the earth and human beings?" ?”
