Chapter 432: The Transformation of the Hive and the Fungal Blanket

After spending several hours in the underground cave, when Wang Jin returned to the Lishan base, it was already dark.

The thousand-meter-high mother nest was covered by the night and could no longer be seen clearly. Although the survivors in the Lishan base were still very curious, the mother nest that could not be seen clearly made them lose interest. They could only greet each other and said frankly that they would continue to watch this behemoth tomorrow.

In the dark and moonless night, Wang Jin's figure appeared in front of the mother nest and hatched several larvae into five tunnel worms.

As soon as these five huge tunnel worms appeared, they opened their hideous mouths on their heads and frantically bit the soil and gravel on the ground, digging a large underground pit.

Wang Jin needed to hide the third-level mother nest. It would be too conspicuous to leave it outside. Although Wang Jin was not afraid, he did not want to deal with the trouble caused by the mother nest all the time. The best way was to hide the mother nest.

To hide the nest that is more than a thousand meters high, the only option is to go underground. It just so happens that there are tunnel worms, who are good at digging, among the new soldiers this time. It is not very difficult to dig out an underground kingdom for the third-level nest.

According to Wang Jin's command, five tunnel worms surround the third-level nest little by little, digging deep from the ground below the third-level nest, and the excavated soil is piled up on the periphery, which can also block other people's sight to a certain extent.

In this way, under the digging of the tunnel worms, the nest sinks into the ground little by little, and it gets lower by five or six meters every minute. After a few hours, the nest disappears completely and sinks to a depth of one thousand meters underground.

But this is not over yet. The tunnel worms continue to dig horizontally to one side. The ground where the nest is located is already well known. If the nest suddenly disappears, others will inevitably suspect the underground.

So in order to avoid accidents, Wang Jin needs to transport the nest to a farther place. After all, it is too close to the Lishan base. It is inconvenient for Wang Jin to do anything. If he makes some noise, the whole Lishan base will know, just like the upgrade of the third-level nest this time.

In order to reduce trouble in the future, Wang Jin planned to transport the mother nest to the central area of ​​the fungal blanket. After the continuous extension and development of the fungal blanket, the fungal blanket now covers hundreds of square kilometers. The place where the mother nest is now is actually the edge of the fungal blanket. This is the result of Wang Jin's letting the fungal blanket avoid spreading to the Lishan base.

Now moving the mother nest to the center of the fungal blanket will be safer. Wang Jin has built many Zerg turrets there, which can attack the air and the ground. With the protection of a large number of Zerg, it is absolutely foolproof, not to mention that the third-level mother nest will still be hidden underground in the future, and it will be difficult for others to destroy it even if they want to.

Under the excavation of the tunnel worms, a horizontal kilometer-high and wide channel gradually appeared, slowly extending to the distance. The third-level mother nest also underwent some changes after the channel appeared.

The wormhole at the bottom of the mother nest, which was originally used for the larvae to enter and exit, began to drill out tens of meters thick tentacles with muscle knots longer than a kilometer. There are hundreds of such tentacles. After the tentacles appeared, they supported the huge body of the mother nest and crawled on the ground.

This is why the third-level mother nest has the ability to move within the planet. At the same time, these tentacles are also the mother nest's attack weapons. Once an external enemy attacks, the mother nest will use these tentacles to swing and slap the enemy, flattening the enemy with terrifying force. Even for enemies in the air, the mother nest can extend its tentacles to more than 3,000 meters, with a certain degree of air defense capability. In addition, the third-level mother nest is covered with a hard insect shell, and its survival capital is countless times stronger than the second-level mother nest.

The rest of the work is left to the mother nest intelligence. If you want to complete this massive migration, it will not be completed in just a few days.

After dealing with the mother nest, Wang Jin turned his attention to the fungal blanket. After the mother nest was promoted to level three, the fungal blanket also changed. It could grow countless slender fleshy rhizomes similar to plants underground. After going thousands of meters underground, it absorbed geothermal energy and converted it into silicon ore needed to produce Zerg.

Wang Jin asked the mother nest to calculate that with the current coverage area of ​​the fungal blanket, the silicon ore converted by absorbing geothermal energy every day is enough for Wang Jin to produce 3,000 velociraptors. This means that even if Wang Jin does nothing, he can accumulate nearly 100,000 velociraptors in a month.

And as the fungal blanket continues to expand in the future, the speed of absorbing geothermal energy can increase. According to the statistics of the mother nest, once the Zerg covers the entire earth, after the mother nest level is upgraded, the Zerg produced that day can cover one-tenth of the earth's surface, and the number can reach more than 10 billion.

Of course, the result of such unrestrained absorption of geothermal energy is that the life of the earth will be shortened. Perhaps in a dozen years or even a few years, this planet of life will go to destruction and self-destruction. This is also the most terrifying thing about the Zerg. Not only do they have endless explosive forces, they use all their resources and energy to expand and grow, and they will also drag the planet into the tunnel of death.

The fungal blanket is of course not that powerful now. In addition to its ability to absorb geothermal energy, it can also secrete excess nutritional bacterial balls, which can be used by the Zerg, allowing the Zerg to swallow them on the battlefield to quickly recover from injuries.

The nutritional bacterial balls can also be provided to plants and animals, which can greatly increase their production and growth rate.

Under Wang Jin's control, the black and purple fungal mat under Wang Jin's feet slowly protruded a small dot. You can see that there is fluid flowing in the nearby fungal mat like blood vessels, converging on the small protrusion under Wang Jin's feet.

Slowly, a thumb-sized, hairy fungal ball appeared in front of Wang Jin. According to the information provided by the mother nest intelligence, the full name of the fungal ball in Wang Jin's hand is hormone-rich energy fungal ball.

Such a fungal ball can make a velociraptor recover from a serious injury, and even a broken arm can be regenerated. It only takes a few dozen minutes, which means that the Zerg's continuous combat capability on the battlefield can be greatly improved.

Wang Jin took a velociraptor for experiment and found that it was indeed the case. In addition, such a hormone-rich energy fungal ball can also accelerate the growth of plants and animals and increase production.

Wang Jin took a few chicks and cabbages caught by the Zerg, mixed them with a bottle of mineral water to dilute the hormone-rich energy bacteria balls, and fed them to the chicks and cabbages. The result was that the chicks died with blood coming out of their pores, and the cabbage leaves withered and the roots rotted, which made Wang Jin very upset.

"Mother Nest, what's going on?" Wang Jin looked unhappy, and questioned the intelligence of the mother nest in anger. Didn't it say that it could stimulate the growth of plants and animals? What's going on now? They are all dead, and it's still a fart. Are you kidding me?

"Master, you fed the target excessive amounts of hormone-rich energy balls, causing the target to be weak and unable to be replenished. Please dilute the hormone-rich energy balls 4152 times and give the target a small amount every day. This is the most reasonable result.

The words of the mother nest made Wang Jin suddenly realize that this was the case. He fed the target too much and stimulated it too much.

It's like many people know that ginseng is very nutritious, but if you let someone eat a hundred-year-old ginseng at once, it will definitely make you bleed. The chicken in Wang Jin's hand is such an unlucky one. It was killed by the hormone-rich energy balls that Wang Jin fed it.

After gaining experience, Wang Jin conducted another experiment based on the data provided by the mother nest intelligence. This time, he fed the chicken and cabbage with hormone-rich energy balls diluted several times. Finally, there was no more trouble like before. The chicken gained two taels overnight, and the cabbage grew taller and bigger.

According to the detailed observation data provided by the mother nest, the hormone-rich energy bacteria ball can increase the growth rate of animals and plants by several to dozens of times, mainly depending on the type of animal and plant species taken, and the concentration of Wang Jin's dilution of the hormone-rich energy bacteria ball.

Such a result made Wang Jin very satisfied. As long as there are enough hormone-rich energy bacteria balls, Wang Jin would be more than enough to become a grain tycoon in the end times.

In particular, Wang Jin has enough land and strong enough military force to ensure that his vested interests are not snooped and robbed by others. Combining the two, Wang Jin has a vague plan for future development.
