Chapter 1,071 The Brood

The fracture, which is more than ten meters in diameter, is like a sinkhole and is located in the center of the military base. Under this sinkhole, at a depth of about five hundred meters, is an underground bunker designed by the Rothschild Group for experimental purposes.

At this moment, this underground bunker no longer smelled of life. It was completely covered with a suspicious blood-red flesh bubble, exuding a mysterious stench. If you suppress your nausea and look closely, you will find that the surface of the flesh bubble is covered with dense pus bubbles the size of sesame seeds.

Whenever a pus bubble ruptures, spore gas is released from it. With the efforts of these thousands of flesh bubbles, countless spores are born every moment, and float along the entrance to the surface, adding to the expansion of the mother nest's territory.

In the center of the underground research institute, there is a mountain of flesh like the roots of a big tree, with plump flesh bubbles stirring. As the core of the Brood, it is both the heart of the Brood and the "central processor" of the Brood. And the tentacles spreading from the soles of its feet and the top of its head are like data cables connecting the main machine and the slave machine.

On its abdomen, there is a coffin, or "culture cabin" carved from resin material. Unlike the flesh-red mother nest, this pitch-black cultivation cabin looks very hard. Through the palm-wide translucent membrane, one could vaguely see a person lying inside.

He opened his eyes and his gaze rested on the row of numbers on the semi-permeable membrane.

【14731】

Four thousand of them were refugee recruits who were brought underground by him, and more than three thousand were from the Guards Brigade and researchers from the underground research institute. The majority of the more than seven thousand were mercenaries and thugs fighting in the base. The people contributed, and just now the British also contributed about six to seven hundred people to him.

Each person can contribute two units of organic matter, and he has already consumed half of the organic matter to strengthen the mother nest and hatch alien species.

"not enough."

Lying in the culture tank, Carmen shook her head and began to reflect on whether she had gone too far in showing off just now.

If they were not wiped out so cleanly at once, the British might be able to have the illusion that they were "just short of winning" and send more people to fill the pit to provide him with more organic matter. , to strengthen his power.

Now, however, the British seem to be much more cautious.

No more troops were sent in except for constant bombardment of the area.

Upgrading the secondary brood requires half a million units of organic matter.

There are two sources of organic matter,

One is the most primitive photosynthesis, which can grow slowly as long as you wait. There is another method that is the quickest, simplest and crudest, and that is to eat continuously. By devouring living things and digesting their bodies, it grows itself stronger.

Carmen certainly prefers the latter. If we rely solely on photosynthesis to obtain organic matter from the soil and air, it will only be a few centuries before the territory of the mother nest expands to the entire world. But if he relied on constant devouring, he could complete the transformation that took centuries in just a few days.

Thinking of this, a trace of resentment flashed across Carmen's face.

The reason why he chose this place as his nest was because of the refugee camp next to the military base with a population of nearly half a million. If he had devoured the population of the refugee camp and then eaten the nearby town of Partak, he would have completed the first stage of evolution long ago!

The secondary brood will have more terrifying energy. Not only will the hunting range of alien species be expanded to one hundred kilometers, but it will also unlock new "units."

For example, a monster named Roshan is said to be able to withstand tank shells based on its fat alone.

However, all his plans came to nothing because of Jiang Chen who showed up halfway.

Thinking of this, his teeth clenched together tightly, making a squeaking sound.

The spores are his eyes and ears, and he can clearly sense everything happening in the area covered by the spores. He was sure that night. He "saw" Jiang Chen in the military base, but it was a pity that he could not keep him.

[Tip, the host is still far away from the organic matter reserves of 500,000. It is recommended to upgrade the troops in the early transition period. 】

An idea appeared directly in his mind, which was a suggestion from the Brood.

There is no need to rely on cumbersome vocal cords to pronounce, and there are naturally no barriers to language and expression. The direct conscious communication makes Carmen feel unprecedentedly convenient. This is one of the reasons why he admired it in every possible way after seeing the greatness of biological civilization through the golden apple.

[Upgrade your troops? What you said makes sense. 】 Carmen replied with her mind, closing her eyes at the same time, connecting her consciousness with the control center of the Brood.

Rows of simplified upgrade lists appeared in front of him. After careful selection, he allocated five thousand points of organic matter to strengthen the wings of the "Blade Warrior".

The name Blade was given to the mantis-like mutant by him. After being strengthened, the wings on the back of the Blade Warrior will be longer and more powerful. They will no longer just be used as an auxiliary to enhance jumping ability, but as real wings that can fly short distances.

As Carmen finished distributing the organic matter, masses of indescribable slurry flowed down the pipe towards the pile of eggs in front of the mother nest. Under the input of organic matter, the eggs began to mutate, and also mutated together with the eggs that were about to emerge from the eggs. The new "Blade Warrior" emerges from the cocoon.

These eggs are a breeding ground for the incubation of alien species. To him, they are like a "barracks".

At this moment, there was a violent tremor on the ceiling.

Raising her eyelids slightly, Carmen's lips curved into a sneer.

The soil above the shelter has been reinforced by the mother nest, and the fibrous roots have woven a layer of "body armor" up to 500 meters thick in the soil. Its explosion-proof and earthquake-proof capabilities are comparable to those of reinforced concrete. The British army threw hundreds of artillery shells at least over his head, which only exploded a layer of concrete.

The reason why the space-based weapon was able to blast open the entrance was only because the mother nest had just been formed, and he hadn't had time to strengthen the entrance...

Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed, and at the same time, the consciousness of the Brood quickly appeared in his mind.

[Warning, the protective layer has been impacted by external forces, and some tissue structures have broken. Please use organic matter to repair it in time. 】

"Damn it! It's a space-based weapon from the Star Ring Trade!"

Carmen cursed secretly. It seemed that he still underestimated the power of the space-based weapons of the Star Ring Trade. Originally, he thought that a few tungsten-core bullets would at most remove a layer of skin from the outer protective layer of the nest, but now it seemed that it was no longer a matter of just one layer of skin. The damage to the protective layer already required him to use organic matter to repair it. For him who didn't have much organic matter, this was enough to break his muscles and bones!

The amount of organic matter was consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just as Carmen was anxiously deploying organic matter to fill the gap, a series of crushing cracking sounds came from above him.

Realizing what had happened, Carmen's expression suddenly changed, and her facial muscles became extremely distorted.
