Chapter 974: Fungal Tower

2. Composite gallbladders: Multiple gallbladders grow in the body of the Zerg Destroyer. During Zerg activities, these gallbladders will secrete a large amount of highly toxic bile inside the organ by absorbing the organic substances in the tunnel network to deal with possible Threat, aid the Vermin Destroyer in the long battle.

3. Vicious mouthparts: The terrible mouthparts of the insect path destroyer can split the prey into three parts in an instant. It is not only a terrible insect path guard, but also a terrifying wilderness hunter. Whether it's marines, tanks, or fanatics, once they are pulled into the complex wormway network, what awaits them will be their fate.

After browsing through the information on the worm path destroyer, he thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of the content about the worm path destroyer in the battle. Judging from the icon, this thing is more like the ember worm in the worm heart evolution quest. The Ash Worm is the combat unit of the original Zerg camp. The Destroyer of the Zerg is very suitable for the characteristics of the Zerg unit under the Queen of Blades. Is it a defensive unit specially bred by Kerrigan combined with the gene of the Ash Worm to protect the tunnel network? .

He suddenly remembered that the name "Insect Path Destroyer" seemed to be mentioned in Blizzard's plan before the launch of "Heart of the Swarm", saying that it was a siege unit. But regardless of its origin, it is used as a mutant unit of Nydus Worms in the interstellar system.

The resource cost of the Nydus Destroyer is 200 crystals and 200 gas, and the population occupies 2, which is much higher than the cost of the Nydus Worm.

The biggest effect brought by the unlocking of the Nydus Destroyer is to make the tactics of sneak attacks behind enemy lines more flexible and changeable. Cooperating with stealth units and ground units transmitted by Nydus Worms can pose a huge threat to stronghold targets. Anyway, the Nydus Destroyer was also evolved from Nydus Worms, so even if its size shrunk to a certain extent, it was impossible for it to decay from a large unit to a small or medium unit.

After thinking for a while, he moved his attention away from the system space and re-entered the real world. While avoiding the rocks that were either stationary or rolling, he continued to dive to the position of the Angel.

He originally thought that the catfish monster was the only monster in this weightless area, but he never thought that there was another monster that was very similar to the catfish monster. It had weaker attack power and no long whiskers, but its mouth protruded like a nozzle, and it could shoot towards the monster. Green poisonous gas is sprayed out, forming a highly corrosive and toxic miasma cloud.

Obviously, the highly poisonous gas based on organic acid will not pose a threat to the powerful creature that combines the characteristics of the zerg unit and the protoss unit like the hybrid marauder. So Tang Fang easily received the second biological tissue sample.

The scene of the unlocking of the campaign unit reappeared. Although the Angelus was not far away, he still took the time to turn his consciousness into the system space and check what was unlocked by the second biological tissue sample.

The mutation menu of the worker bees and the mutation menu of the larvae have not changed, and then there are existing buildings, which are still "tunnel networks", and there is a new icon behind the newly unlocked insect tunnel destroyer --- the mushroom tower.

Like the Nydus Destroyer, the Germina is another variant of the Nydus Worm. It can corrupt a large area of ​​land in a short period of time, turning them into a moss environment for Zerg units to survive, to assist the expansion of the Zerg swarm, or to create a combat environment that is beneficial to the Zerg army, and can help the Zerg swarm command Officers broaden their horizons.

The sample analysis report of the tower showed 3 major components.

1. Colony tumors: During the evolution process to the fungal tower, the exits used by tunnel worms to transport Zerg units were blocked by a large number of bacterial flora, and then gathered into clusters, and finally evolved into colony tumors with extremely strong proliferation capabilities, which can be Proliferate to the designated area in a short period of time, allowing the creep to overflow like a tide, turning the wasteland into a living and fighting environment that is beneficial to the Zerg.

2. Bacteria storage cavity: The wide cavity of the tunnel worm, which has no ability to transport, is filled with biomass that can help the bacteria lawn spread quickly. These biomass come from the tunnel network and are the most basic material for the formation of colonies. It is because of their help that the mushroom tower can quickly lay down the creep in the barren surface environment.

3. Catalytic glands: In the process of ejecting biomass and original colonies, the colony tumor can stimulate the rapid formation of colonies by injecting a catalytic hormone into the atmosphere, and aggregate into colony clusters, which cooperate with the bacteria tower by the tunnel network The ingestion of a steady stream of biomass achieves the purpose of activating the lawn tissue and delaying the shrinkage of the carpet.

The cost of the fungi tower is slightly lower than that of the worm path destroyer, 200 crystals and 150 gas, occupying a population of 2.

Unlike the overlord's ability to emit creep, the influence of the mushroom tower is larger, and even if the main body leaves its original position, under the influence of the catalytic hormone, the creep will not shrink quickly. There is no doubt that it is an important Auxiliary unit.

Tang Fang didn't expect that the two major variants of the tunnel worm would be unlocked one after another in a short period of time, which was a small make up for the regret of not being able to keep Ye Mengjiade, and it also made him draw a big question mark in his heart. Where did these two fish-like monsters come from? He originally thought that the catfish monster was a creature conceived by the tumors on the neck of Jormungandr that looked like hatching sacs. Under the overwhelming offensive of the attackers, the number of catfish monsters has not decreased, but has increased, really like fish schools migrating in groups in rivers.

Although the journey of the three of them has been delayed, there are correspondingly pleasing things. The two fish-shaped monsters are not low in value except for unlocking the worm path destroyer and the fungus tower. They can collect 300 life energy and 200 rare elements. , namely: 300 crystals and 200 gas. From the appearance of the hybrid looters to the arrival of the 3 people at the location of the Angel, the gas resources have already gained 30,000+. You must know that the "fish school" has no weakening trend. more. If it weren't for worrying about the safety of the Angel, and the scary guess in his heart, he really wanted to stop like this, stay here for a while, and collect as many resources as possible.

When the three arrived on the upper deck of the Angel, Tang Fang released another 20 hybrid raiders, gave the order to clear the fish monsters in the weightless area as much as possible, and collected crystal and gas resources, and then walked to the nearest hatch.

The Archangel was pulled down into the tiankeng by Yemengarde. Except for the damage to the power system, the rest of the subsystems were not seriously damaged. However, due to the imbalance of energy supply during the fall, the starlight shield collapsed in some areas. A small number of rock masses hit the hull, which more or less caused some external scars to the Angel, but fortunately they were not serious.

While walking towards the nearest hatch, Walton looked at the clusters of ablation plaques and dark green solidification on the deck, and couldn't help showing a resentful expression. Today's Angel is blocked by many large rock masses, unable to move. Two kinds of fish monsters obviously regarded it as the target of attack. The scorching bile and poisonous breath messed up the original pearly white painting, making people very uncomfortable .

Tang Fang just frowned and didn't make a statement. The three continued to move forward, opened the safety door from the outside, and entered the corridor leading to the internal cabin through the pressure cabin. Claire and Tang Lin had been waiting here for a long time.

It can be seen that the two of them are not in a good mood, their brows are deeply frowned, and the girl's face is still a little pale, obviously she hasn't recovered from the series of events.

"How is Yingluo?" He took off his mask and walked towards the medical laboratory.

"Very bad." Claire said in a low voice, "The T energy stone on Yingluo's forehead was shattered by Ye Mengjiade, and the suppressed V-shaped phagosome gene began to resist, using her body as a battlefield, and began to gradually eat away The biochemical modulation human gene coded by Tello. Abathur is using the medical equipment in the medical laboratory to try his best to suppress this process, but the effect is not satisfactory."

Tang Fang asked again: "How is the maintenance work on the power system going?"

This time it was Tang Lin who responded to the question: "The two Cupids are doing their best to repair the zero element reactor, and it looks like it will take a while."

He nodded, and was about to say something when Tang Lin reported another abnormality, "Since the Angel fell into the sinkhole, the death torture device implanted by Iger Stetman in the battleship system fluctuated abnormally in the standby state. It's faint, but real."

"Is it background radiation from rogue planets?"

Tang Lin shook his head: "Alena has carefully compared it. Since the Archangel arrived on the wandering planet, the death torture instrument has been radiating a weak gravitational wave. Because the energy level is very low, the fluctuation is not obvious. The staff of the data analysis team misunderstood It was believed to be caused by the gravitational turbulence of the wandering planet, and they did not pay attention to it. It was not until the asteroid storm ended, the gravitational turbulence area collapsed, and the Angelus was knocked down into the crater by Yemengard, that the staff of the data analysis team noticed that A weak gravitational fluctuation."

Tang Fang suddenly thought of the two kinds of fish monsters swimming around the Angel, and wondered if those creatures attacking the Angel might be related to the gravitational fluctuations produced by the death torture device? This is likely to be an alternative "moths to the flame".

"Are the Death Rows still in operation?" he asked.

Tang Lin shook his head and said: "The logistics maintenance personnel have completely cut off the energy supply of the death torture device. The entire subsystem is now offline, and the weak gravity fluctuation has also disappeared."

"Is that so..." Tang Fanglu pondered, recalling his first guess when he saw the inner wall of the ruins.

At this moment, a group of people arrived at the medical laboratory, and the figure walking back and forth behind the glass wall came into view, interrupting his thinking.

When Roy heard the sound of the security door opening and saw Tang Fang, Walton, and Aros arrive, his eyes became even redder.

The young man choked up and wanted to say something, Tang Fang patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Okay, okay, I know everything...Leave it to me." After speaking, he quickened his pace and led a few people to the hall in the middle of the hall. In front of the fully enclosed hospital bed, carefully observe Yingluo's face.

Just like what Claire told him, the fingernail-sized t energy stone on the girl's forehead has been torn apart, from the original blue light overflowing to dim. From a certain angle, there is a different kind of poignancy.

Tang Fang didn't appreciate this kind of beauty, and neither did Claire. Roy scratched the isolation cover tightly with ten fingers, and scratched several white marks on the glass surface with his nails.

Abathur stood opposite, with Valentine's sullen face on the left side of his head. Including Claire, Walton, and Roy, many crew members were not used to this scene, and felt disgusted and chilled. Every time they saw Abathur in the Trinity, they felt like they were watching a chilling horror film. piece of feeling.

But today, Abathur's disgusting appearance and Valentine's horrifying embedded human face can no longer move the hearts of everyone present. On the contrary, Roy and others are looking at the opposite worm with expectant eyes. face with a human face.

"Are you really going to do this? How sure are you?" Valentine said, looking at Ying Luo on the opposite side of the shield. Roy and Ying Luo, as well as Moriton and Caroline, are just like his children, rather than watching them suffer, the old man hopes that such things will happen to him... This is probably the special thing that all old people have for their younger generations emotion.

Abathur swung his slender forelimbs, "Seventy percent."

"Seventy percent..." Tang Fang muttered softly, "Seventy percent..." The reason why he told Roy not to worry and leave everything to him was naturally because there was a way to save Yingluo. You must know that he still has 2 hero places in his hand, and Nova has already been unlocked, but he has not been summoned to the real world by him. If Abathur can't heal Yingluo's injury, he may have to use the parasitic mode to wake up the girl. But who would have thought that when the three of them arrived on the Angel and walked to the medical laboratory, Abathur suddenly reported a news, claiming to find another way, or there was no need to waste the precious quota of heroes.

Abathur tends to treat Yingluo according to the new method just discovered, because it can collect a lot of experimental data and satisfy his exploration desire. But from Valentine's point of view, the old man prefers a safer method, such as the parasitic model.

But no matter which method is used, the decision is in Tang Fang's hands.

Claire, Roy and the others didn't know about Abathur's whim, and they didn't understand what the conversation between the three meant.

"Experimental... tenacious... method failure... parasitic."

Ordinary people may not understand what the stammering child wants to express, but Tang Fang understands it. Abathur wants to tell him that Yingluo's will to survive is very tenacious, which will increase the success rate to a certain extent. Taking a step back, even if this method fails, he can use the purple parasite to change Yingluo's physique at the right moment and turn her into a hero unit.

If it is not a last resort, he will not use the parasitic mode to treat his companions around him, because memory fusion will inevitably have an impact on the original personality and cognition of the target, and even change it.

"Then, try your new method." He thought for a while, and voted for Abathur's opinion.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Abathur did not hesitate, and under his guidance, he left the Angel and entered the Zerg base.

Only then did Claire have the opportunity to express her question: "What new method?" (To be continued.)
