The evolution of Zerg

Gaia continued: "So, we Zerg are a race that cares about resources, but if we hatch on our own inside the mother worm, it will consume a lot of energy. The size of the mother worm must be bigger, the better, and the hatched soldiers must be smaller. The better, the less the better.”

Zhang Fan shook his head and felt that Gaia's statement was a bit biased. If this was the case, it would be better to just build a large transport ship, which would save more effort.

Speaking of this, Zhang Fan thought of the various creatures that had been modified by modified cells. After their internal cells were modified, some explicit information about the Zerg would appear more or less.

So this is how Zhang Fan has not carried out assassinations and sneak attacks within the enemy for such a long time. The target is too obvious.

Those who can push horizontally should still push horizontally. Those who cannot push horizontally should wait first. There is no rush.

At this time, the worms in the insect shark's body had gradually taken shape. Looking at the insect shark's dying expression, Zhang Fan immediately stopped thinking about hatching the remaining worms.

Zhang Fan came back to his senses and said to Gaia: "Gaia, it is difficult for us to hatch in equal proportions under the current situation, so we need you and Adam to work hard on research. I hope to see your results in the near future."

Adam stopped thinking. With Zhang Fan's encouragement, it became extremely excited and said in unison with Gaia: "Yes! Master (Dad), I promise to complete the mission!"

After hearing the responses from the two mind bugs, Zhang Fan cut off contact with them and adjusted his target to the unnamed island.

Exhausted, the worm shark opened its mouth, and the worm slowly crawled out of its belly. When it came to its mouth, it looked around.

The impatient worm shark pushed the worm out with his tongue.

The worm turned somersaults in the sea water several times, and then stabilized its figure. It didn't know what it was going to do next, and was waiting for Zhang Fan's instructions.

After Zhang Fan asked the rest of the insect sharks to patrol the surrounding areas, he began to control the worms.

Zhang Fan was quite handy with this primitive creature. He slowly swam to the shore and then clearly poked his head out of the sea. It was good, there were no enemies around.

Then, the worm crawled out of the water and wriggled hard on the hot sand.

A trail of white mucus was left along the way. The mucus was quickly evaporated by the scorching sunlight and turned into a white trail.

Worm raised his head and looked at the heat waves on the sand. Zhang Fan estimated that the surface temperature was at least 30 degrees, which was really hot.

The road ahead looks a little twisted, but this cannot stop Worm's confidence in moving forward.

Getting closer to the waterhole, the worm can clearly feel the moisture in the air, and the humidity is increasing.

After getting close to the water pool, Zhang Fan realized that it was not a real water pool. It looked dark and exuded a foul smell.

"Eh? This looks like asphalt?!" Zhang Fan didn't know why he saw asphalt in this place. Could it be that there is oil underneath? No way.

Petroleum is a non-renewable resource that takes hundreds of millions of years to form after being buried underground.

Zhang Fan is very confused. Petroleum asphalt and other things are of no use to him now. The most important thing now is to find water sources.

"Forget it, never mind. Now stay inside for a while to keep moisturized." Zhang Fan knew that the worms had genes that resist high temperatures. Although it was a bit difficult, they wouldn't die so quickly.

After entering the tar pool, the worms were instantly submerged in the thick black liquid.

After transforming into an anorexia, the worm stayed quietly in the tar pool.

Don't think that this is impossible. Genes with high temperature resistance and anaerobic properties can survive under special circumstances as long as the energy in their bodies is not exhausted.

It's just that the energy consumed in the tar pool is a bit fast. Zhang Fan must quickly find food to replenish the energy in the worms, or lay down a carpet of bacteria here.

Creep seeds must use needle-shaped bacteria, and that kind of bacteria cannot be produced by modifying cells.

That would be troublesome. Could it be that we are just waiting to die? This is not Zhang Fan's style.

Before the worm dies, he must find a plant that can replace the carpet. As long as that plant can spend a period of time safely in the tar pool, then the worm can develop and grow on this small island.

Here we need to consider whether the modified cells can survive in the tar pool, which seems to be quite difficult.

While looking through the genetic map, Zhang Fan saw magma flowers, a type of marine plant that lives near magma.

"Maybe we can use this as a breakthrough." Zhang Fan began to search for the lifestyle of magma flowers and how their seeds are dispersed.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan let the worms hatch the seeds of the magma flower in his body.

This kind of seed can develop and grow under extremely harsh conditions. It is a perverted plant. After adding drought resistance genes, it is unknown whether it can grow in tar pools.

The worm dies after hatching the seeds, and its remaining nutrients are supplied to the magma flower.

The seeds stay quietly in the pool, absorbing the heat around them. When the absorption reaches a certain level, the plants begin to break their shells and absorb water.

Gradually, the plant grew taller and taller. When the magma flower completely broke through the ground, Zhang Fan discovered that its color turned black, which was exactly the same color as asphalt.

So the magma flower has survived, and the next thing is development.

Every once in a while, the insect sharks will put the worms ashore. After eating the magma flowers and expelling the asphalt, the worms will begin to synthesize various seeds in their bodies.

One thing worth noting is that these seeds are all carnivorous plants, such as Venus flytraps, piranha, demon trees, etc.

The flowers are dazzling and colorful, and the scenery in this land shows another style.

Once there are many plants, they will attract all kinds of creatures to come for food, and they don't care whether these plants are carnivorous or not.

Zhang Fan discovered that there were many flying creatures here. Once again, he saw a jellyfish that could fly in the air. The jellyfish glowed with colorful lights in the sun, and its body shape was somewhat similar to its host.

In addition to floating jellyfish, there are also some strange flying creatures.

It seems that there are no flightless creatures in this world, so it is easy to handle. Zhang Fan can obtain the genes of these flying creatures through trapping, and then achieve his own goals.

The Overlord Flower is the twin brother of the corpse-scented Konjac, but the Overlord Flower is larger in size and can emit a stench, but this stench also contains a bit of the temptation of the demon tree.

This is a fatal temptation for some creatures, such as the earthworm vulture.
