Chapter 136 Development Direction
In order to achieve the goal of integrating the Zerg underground territory as soon as possible, Wu Qing added another 3,000 Zerg worker bees to the excavation team, bringing the total number of worker bees responsible for the entire Zerg to 8,000.
As for the worker bees consumed in building Zerg buildings, they were temporarily hatched and not counted among these worker bees.
With tight time and heavy tasks, the Zerg worker bees rushed to widen the connecting passage on the Zerg territory underground base side.
As for the passage on the cave base side, it can only be put aside temporarily. If the mysterious enemy attacks that section of the passage again at night, Wu Qing would be more than happy, as this can be regarded as helping to expand the Zerg underground territory.
If the battle situation is unfavorable, the cave base should be abandoned when it is time to abandon it. When there is a strong external threat, the expansion of the Zerg territory should still be based on stability. The leapfrog model of building enclaves is not suitable for the current Zerg.
The two spaces that were strangely excavated last night were very large. In order to speed up the coverage of the Zerg fungal blanket and incorporate both spaces into the Zerg territory as soon as possible, Wu Qing built five Zerg nests in each of the two spaces, evenly distributed in the huge space.
Together with the ten newly built nests, the Zerg has a total of 220 nests, and almost all of them are one-star nests.
Judging from the current area of the Zerg territory, the density of this Zerg nest is quite high, but the distribution of the nests is not uniform enough.
Continuing to build nests will have a very low cost-effectiveness. Unless it encounters the situation like last night, Wu Qing will not easily build a large number of Zerg nests.
Wu Qing does not plan to continue to expand the Zerg's ground territory. The main direction of the Zerg's future development is underground.
The underground mineral resources are rich, which can continuously provide a large amount of energy resources for the Zerg, and there is also a mysterious underground world. For the Zerg, the underground world is a place of endless wealth, waiting to be explored.
Underground territories are safer and more hidden than ground territories. They are well connected, up and down, left and right, and very suitable for a race like the Zerg that is good at drilling underground.
Wu Qing's light and dark territories, as Zerg territories in the dark territory, must look like dark territories.
The identity and background of the Zerg in this world also requires the Zerg's base camp to be hidden underground where it is difficult for people to know.
The Zerg ground territory will be a ground exit of the Zerg territory in the future, and will no longer develop outward.
In the future, this land on the ground will be the territory of the Great Xia Territory. In the ground world, the Zerg will hang the name of the Great Xia Territory and expand the territory of the Great Xia Territory, which is open to the public.
...
In terms of the recovery of the Zerg's troops, the Zerg Hydralisk has not lost any personnel. The existing 18,000 Hydralisks have consumed a large amount of the system's gas resources, and there is no need to increase the number for the time being.
Now is no longer the initial stage of the Zerg's development. In order to strengthen the collective consciousness of the Zerg, Zerg units are produced at all costs.
Gas resources are the luck of this world, which is very precious.
Every bit of the system's gas resources must be spent on useful places, and there must not be a trace of waste.
In order to deal with various emergencies, Wu Qing needs to reserve enough gas resources for emergency use.
Gas resources are not energy resources, and the Zerg cannot collect them. They need to be obtained by killing enemies and plundering.
Wu Qing worked hard to make various layouts in this world, develop territories, form alliances, and create as many causal relationships with this world as possible, just to obtain luck through multiple channels and increase the source of system gas resources.
Through last night's battle, Wu Qing understood more clearly that this world is not that simple. With the current strength of the Zerg, relying solely on killing to plunder resources to develop, even if there is a system cheater, it is very likely to encounter a guy who is more powerful and makes the Zerg hit hard.
For example, the mysterious enemy who controlled the ghouls and underground ratmen and attacked the Zerg territory two nights ago, Wu Qing could not predict what that guy would do in the future.
The Zerg found a place to build a territory, and encountered such a terrible guy next to it. There was also an even more terrifying underground world not far away. If there was no magical barrier, Wu Qing would have been ready to find another place to rebuild the Zerg core base.
Although the Zerg is strong, the Zerg in Wu Qing's hands is the product of the struggle between the system and the will of the universe. It is far from developed. If it wants to run rampant in this world, it will be a long way to go.
...
The number of Zerg Hydralisks cannot be increased at will, but the most basic Zerg soldier, the Zerg, is not subject to this restriction. As long as there is enough energy, the Zerg can hatch the Zerg vigorously. With the current speed of the Zerg's rapid troops, the number can increase by more than 100,000 in an hour.
It doesn't matter if there are not enough energy resources. Most of the earth that the worker bees are desperately digging underground is minerals. When transported to the Zerg mother nest, it can be converted into energy resources.
Zerg territories, Daxia Territory and Mengzhong City all need a large number of Zerg puppies to garrison, and there are a large number of scouts distributed in the alliance and surrounding areas, all of which are Zerg puppies.
Wu Qing plans to restore the number of puppies to 200,000 first, and then increase it depending on the situation.
Zerg hosts, because of the powerful detection ability of one-star hosts, play an important role. Now that the territory is expanding, Wu Qing has increased the number of one-star hosts to 200 to ensure that some important areas of the Zerg territory are guarded by one-star hosts.
The existence of a large number of one-star hosts further unleashes the restrictions on the Zerg population, allowing the Zerg to increase its troops without any care.
…
The affairs of the Zerg territory have been properly arranged, and the Zerg army's battle to eliminate the underground ratmen has also reached the most intense moment.
Intelligent creatures have very rich emotions. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the underground ratmen who were forced to the extreme by the Zerg finally broke out and began to fight back against the Zerg army desperately.
But it was too late, and not all underground ratmen were as brave as them. The underground ratmen who rushed up did not cause much damage to the Zerg army, but only accelerated their demise.
There were many underground ratmen, but they were small and their individual combat power was not strong. The Zerg had a special ability to restrain their surface killing. This battle was easier than the encirclement and suppression of the ghouls yesterday.
The last batch of underground ratmen were killed on the edge of the cliff on the platform, and this relatively easy clearing battle ended.
On the edge of the cliff, Wu Qing and the Zerg could see the ghouls below, while those underground ratmen could not see what was below until they died. The barrier of this underground world is so magical.
The ghouls' homeland was still the same as yesterday, with little change, and the farther away, with the detection ability of the one-star host, could not be seen.
There was nothing to linger here, the Zerg army began to return, and when I came back tomorrow, this platform might have changed again.
