The evolution of Zerg

"Who are you?" the voice repeated again, pulling Zhang Fan's thoughts away.

A springtail approached the white ball and asked, "Who are you?"

The white ball replied: "My name is Zero, where did you come from? I have never seen you."

Zhang Fan felt a chill in his heart, and then said seriously: "I am the master of the Zerg race, you can call me that. We grew up in this land, and we are born to be the masters of this land."

Zero replied: "Really? I remember it was a group of white monsters. Oh, by the way, I called them ice giant squids."

Ice giant squid? In that case, Zero should be familiar with those guys.

Zhang Fan then asked Ling: "Where did those ice and snow giant squids come from?"

Zero: "Of course it's from the sea. Have you never been to the sea?"

Zhang Fan replied: "I haven't been there, but I will go."

Ling didn't speak, as if he was lost in thought. After a while, Zhang Fan felt that it was time to leave. At this time, Ling said again: "Don't leave yet."

Zhang Fan turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zero said: "I don't know what you mean by master, but I think we belong to the same species."

Zhang Fan said nothing and listened quietly. Zero continued: "Maybe we can sit down and have a good talk."

Zhang Fan asked in confusion: "Talk? What to talk about."

Zero said: "Those ice giant squids were the smartest creatures I have ever seen besides you and me."

Zhang Fan was thinking, maybe you have never seen the Golden Feather Ant King and Mosquito King Emperor.

Zero continued: "Those guys originally lived in the ocean, and they climbed ashore only after my recommendation."

Zhang Fan sneered in his heart and said, "So you are the mastermind behind this."

Zero chuckled: "You can't say that, I'm just promoting their evolution."

Zhang Fan: "Why do you say you and I are of the same species?"

Zero thought for a moment and said, "You probably don't know that I can steal the thoughts of giant ice and snow squids. From their minds, I saw you, a big round head. You must be the master."

It's a pity that Ling guessed wrong. Dominance is just a mental concept and has no entity. All they see is Gaia. Of course, Zhang Fan won't say this.

Zero continued: "I can control my tribe, and you can control your tribe. This proves that we should be considered the same kind, except that you are on land and I am in the ocean."

Zhang Fan said: "What's the difference between ocean and land? So you want to coexist with me."

Ling laughed and said: "Coexistence? You are overthinking. You don't know how vast this ocean is. I look forward to your arrival."

Is this zero threatening me? Zhang Fan quickly thought of countermeasures.

Zero then said: "I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact. Okay, I'm leaving. You can stay on land safely for a while."

After saying that, the white star began to dim, and then began to shatter, and the snow trees throughout the Arctic also withered one after another.

Zhang Fan was greatly shocked. This person named Ling was really strong.

At this time, Adam came back and told Zhang Fan that the snow tree withered on its own. Zhang Fan told him not to pay attention and told the two-minded insects about the conversation with Zero.

The entire Zerg race fell into silence. Although they conquered the continent, there were more powerful enemies in the wider ocean, and they were still king versus king.

Gaia said: "Dad, this is my fault, let me deal with it."

Zhang Fan shook his head: "This is not your problem alone. This is a matter of life and death for the entire Zerg race. Now that the other party can go ashore, but we cannot go to the sea, our next work must be focused on the ocean."

Adam said: "Lord, Adam will go all out to build a new ocean team!"

Zhang Fan nodded: "Very good, let's make arrangements next. Gaia will lay the fungus blanket across the continent, and Adam will study the salt penetration resistance gene."

After saying that, the two idiots left and completed their work according to Zhang Fan's orders.

As time goes by, the Zerg on the mainland are steadily accumulating their strength, and the sky is scattered with floating fungi.

Everything seems to be developing for the better. Although it has not yet entered the sea, the Zerg has created a unit that can enter the sea after several years of research, the stinging jellyfish.

This is based on the square-headed jellyfish that Zhang Fan first created. After Gaia's appearance design and Adam's genetic optimization, this stinging jellyfish can already live normally in shallow waters.

However, the stinging jellyfish's attacks are limited. Once the venom in the body is released, it loses its effective means of attack. Only groups of jellyfish can exert their power, just like groups of springtails.

These years have not been without movement. Every once in a while, the ice and snow giant squids will come to the mainland and cause havoc. Every time when the thunder beasts arrive, they will retreat.

In addition to the ice and snow giant squid, other places were also destroyed one after another. Zhang Fan could only defend passively, not even daring to go to the beach and cliff.

Under this situation, Zhang Fan designed a brand new defense system, which was inspired by ground thorns.

The original ground thorns could only deal with creatures on the surface. After Zhang Fan conquered the mainland, they gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Now there is a new defense system called a bunker. This kind of bunker does not use roots to attack enemies, but it sprays flames to attack.

Don't think that this kind of bunker is impossible to realize. The method is very simple. Design a colony on the shore. The bunker evolved through the colony can effectively store bunker genes.

There will be a huge biogas pit under these bunkers, which contains the substances collected from the daily excretion of the Zerg. After a long period of fermentation, it becomes a highly concentrated biogas.

Under normal conditions, when there are no enemy attacks, the bunker will regularly discharge some biogas to regulate the stability of the internal air pressure.

Once it is discovered that the enemy has begun to land, the bunker will turn the muzzle, generate sparks through the collision of the upper and lower layers of densely packed flints, highly squeeze the methane in the body, and then spray flames.

The distance of the flame jet is no less than that of the air cannon fired by the Thunder Beast.

But there is a drawback, that is, each bunker can only use one attack. After the attack is over, it will fall into a recovery period. They quickly repair the areas burned by the flames. After the repair is completed, they will spray fire again until the biogas is consumed.

But even so, it was difficult to stop the enemies coming up one after another from the ocean, which made Zhang Fan feel dizzy.

The population of stinging jellyfish is limited, and it is difficult to deploy defenses along entire continental coastlines.

In this case, an attack on the ocean is imminent.
