Chapter 247: The Legend of the Mechanical Overlord
Would you mind doing something for me?
This is a question.
As the king of the Zerg, she could have given orders to force Su Xia to do things for her, but she did not do so.
A small question was enough to show how much she valued Su Xia.
Su Xia's idea moved. He had planned to sneak into an insect nest after the battle , absorb nutrients and grow slowly.
Under the current circumstances, it seems that he has a chance to infiltrate the core layer of the bugs?
Before, in the oasis camp, that strange bug wanted to cooperate with him, but he didn’t know much about the Zerg, so he refused. Now there was an opportunity to learn more.
Beside the woman, the strange creature whispered, "My Queen, perhaps he doesn't understand this language. Should we try another one?"
The woman shook her head gently: "He understands, he is thinking."
Su Xia was indeed thinking, and her subconsciously lowered eyes were the best proof of that.
He didn't think for too long before looking at the woman and asking, "What do I need to do?"
"Can we integrate the hives in this area?"
"I'm not strong enough." Su Xia said bluntly. Almost every leader of the insect nest has a strength of more than level 4, and he has just reached this level. Those leaders will not be convinced.
"It's just not enough right now." The woman raised her lips, "Your strength comes not only from your psychic power, but also from your wisdom. Remember to use it well."
"What can I get if I agree?"
"A huge army, is that enough?"
"good."
Su Xia nodded and agreed directly.
There's no harm in it anyway, so just agree to it first, and then run away if you really can't do it.
The woman looked satisfied, with admiration in her eyes, and said to Su Xia: "My name is Helen, remember my name."
“I remember.”
Insects themselves do not have names. Only high-level insects with higher intelligence will give themselves a name or code to distinguish themselves from other creatures of the same species.
The myths of this world are slightly different from those on Earth.
In the mythology of this continent, Helen is the goddess of beauty and war. Legend has it that two countries once waged a ten-year war for her.
It’s a pity that her name is not Sarah Kerrigan, which makes Su Xia feel a little regretful.
"What's your name?" Helen's voice was mature, with a sense of unquestionable and negative, like a person in a high position for a long time.
"I don't have a name yet." Su Xia answered truthfully.
He always called this body "the ugly doppelganger".
In fact, ever since the big tumor on the back burst and grew wings, this body is no longer ugly.
The scales all over its body are a strange dark red, like rubies from the abyss . Its body is well-proportioned, with an evil and strong beauty, like the scarlet demon in many old cartoons.
"No name? From today on, you'll be called 'Els', how about that?"
"good."
Els, in the mythology of this world, is the god of cunning and cruelty.
The appearance of Su Xia's clone does look a bit ferocious, which fits the name.
Next to Helen, the strange creature with tentacles introduced himself to Susha: "Els, my name is 'Haydar', I am the Queen's guard, you and I can address each other by our names."
"OK."
Haidar, the gatekeeper of the kingdom of God in this world mythology.
This creature loyally stays by the queen's side, doing his job conscientiously and taking care of all matters, big and small. It is very appropriate to give it this name.
Not far away, the two lords of the insect nest were crawling humbly, their faces almost buried in the cold blood on the ground, waiting for the queen to give them names.
After all, Su Xia was just a high-level warrior in their two insect nests.
Even he had a name, and the two lords thought they would have one too.
only……
Judging from what the queen said, will these two insect nests be handed over to Su Xia for management in the future?
Soon, Helen led Haidar and Susha through the swarm of insects and came in front of the two hive lords.
She stood with her hands behind her back. Although she looked very small in front of the two monsters, she felt like she was looking down on them. She said indifferently, "From now on, Els' words are my words. I will take his as my priority."
This was not a question, but a direct order that left no room for doubt.
The two lords seemed stronger than Su Xia, but they didn't dare to say anything at this moment. They still crawled on the ground and spoke out:
"yes."
"yes."
The two of them represent the will of the two hives.
Below them, those high-level, mid-level, low-level and a large number of primitive alien insects all expressed their submission to the Queen and Su Xia.
In the insect nest far away, the two insect queens who were responsible for breeding the insects also conveyed the message of surrender.
The insect queen was bulky and moved very slowly, so Helen asked them to stay in the insect nest and there was no need for them to come out to meet her.
Just like that, the battle between the two insect nests ended in a way that Su Xia could not have imagined.
Helen looked straight at Su Xia and said slowly, " Els, I know you won't let me down."
"Yes, please don't worry."
Su Xia will naturally try his best, this is the strongest power he has in this world.
Before today, he would never have thought that before he could form an army of Terrans or players, he would unexpectedly get an army of Zerg.
Although both insect nests have suffered heavy losses, they need to develop slowly.
But Suxia understood the potential of this race.
As long as the insect nest is still there, a sea of insects will explode sooner or later.
The way the bugs fight is too primitive. It is definitely not possible to just rush around relying on barbaric thinking. The different arms can completely achieve division of labor and cooperation.
Small and fast-moving soldiers like the Swiftworm can be used in special operations, such as launching surprise attacks on enemy bases behind enemy lines.
All it takes is a high-level leader who is smart enough to lead the rest of the swift bugs.
In Su Xia's mind, more than ten different ways of fighting soon appeared.
"well……"
Su Xia suddenly thought of herself who firmly refused to cooperate at that time, and couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, he would have firmly refused as well, but things are unpredictable, and the pressure from the Mechanical Clan is just too great. The tip of the iceberg exposed in Fish Scale City last time was enough to make people breathless.
It is simply a luxury for the human race, which is internally divided, to counterattack the mechanical race.
"Why are you sighing? Is it because of stress?" Helen asked him.
"Yes." Su Xia nodded.
"You can talk to Haidar about the pressure, he is better at dealing with it."
"OK."
Haidar, the giant octopus monster, looks like Mr. K.
Although they are called guards, they are actually more like butlers, and they take care of more than 90% of the troubles of the Zerg.
With such a housekeeper, Helen is similar to Su Xia, the master of Oasis Camp. She is a hands-off manager and only needs to understand the development situation regularly.
Next, Helen went to the interior of the two insect nests one by one to check the specific situation.
While Susha and Haidar followed behind her.
"Els, I was an octopus before I evolved." Haidar continued to introduce himself in order to understand Suxia's situation. This was something he had to do, otherwise he would not feel at ease. "Can you tell me what species you were before you evolved?"
"Of course, it's just a lizard."
Su Xia thought about her own appearance and felt that lizard was suitable, so she answered in this way. The result happened to be consistent with Haidar's guess.
He suddenly thought, since the giant octopus in the sea could evolve into this, what would other creatures in the sea evolve into?
Giant whales, sharks, lobsters, and more...
Will the sponge really evolve into SpongeBob?
Through conversations with Haidar, Susha began to gain a deeper understanding of the Zerg on this planet.
Similar to the Zerg in many games and the Zerg in his impression, this race is inherently highly aggressive, reproduces very quickly, and its thirst for resources is like a bottomless pit.
If left unchecked, the bugs could potentially suck the entire planet dry.
And the Zerg tech tree is pretty twisted.
What they are climbing is the flesh and blood biotechnology.
At the end of evolution, one or more huge flying creatures will appear, which can break through the atmosphere, carry the rest of the insects to travel in the universe, and go to other resource planets to continue reproducing, just like human spaceships.
Of course, in the eyes of the bugs, the human technology tree is also crooked.
All I can say is that different races lead to different thinking and perspectives.
"As you can see, many types of soldiers have thick shells. If they continue to evolve, they will develop into a 'closed pressurized shell'. With the protection of psychic energy, they can travel in the universe for a short period of time."
Haidar was like a knowledgeable professor, instilling a lot of basic knowledge into Susha.
In his opinion, all high-level Zerg serving the Queen should know this knowledge.
"When entering outer space, the cells on the body's surface will enter a state of near dormancy, not multiplying or dividing, minimizing damage to the cells from cosmic rays. The extremely low temperature will cause the outer cells to deform to a certain extent, turning them into a very strong rigid structure, as strong as steel..."
The Zerg's vitality and adaptability are indeed tenacious.
On Earth, many common insects can endure extremely harsh and extreme environments.
In the eyes of the Zerg in this world, the human body is as fragile as thin paper and will fall apart with a single poke. They can only rely on machines, and this path is obviously wrong.
So many bugs think that humans should find a path to evolution through flesh and blood.
"Els, you seem to be very interested in the human race?" Haidar asked Suxia.
"Yes, every ordinary individual of the human race possesses extremely high intelligence." Su Xia nodded.
"That's true. Humans also have their advantages." Haidar couldn't deny it. "If we could have both a strong physique and high intelligence, then that race might be perfect."
"Do mechanical people count?"
"Not really. The behavior of the mechanical race is still bound by the code. They can only approach perfection through continuous learning."
All I can say is that the perfect race probably doesn't exist.
Every race has flaws.
This may be the ultimate law of natural development, or it may be the work of the Creator.
"Creator?" Su Xia heard this familiar word from Haidar's mouth, "Does the Creator really exist?"
"In the Queen's memory, there is an ancient and mysterious existence who guided the initial development of the Zerg. Perhaps that person is the Creator."
"The Queen's memory is inherited?"
"That's not the case." Haidar made it clear: "For the human race and the machine race, we would say that this memory is inherited, which can highlight the queen's legitimacy. In fact, there is no such thing as inheritance. The queen's memory and knowledge of the Zerg were obtained from a Zerg corpse that fell in space."
"I see……"
With the knowledge from the universe and the stars, the queen successfully made the Zerg on this planet develop rapidly, and soon gathered a large number of high-level Zerg.
But what she didn't expect was that the development speed of the mechanical race was not slower than hers.
Logically speaking, the mechanical race should have been suppressed by the human race for a long time.
There is only one explanation -
"The mechanical race has also received a gift from the starry sky." Haidar was sure, "Under one of the mechanical race's bases, there should be mechanical equipment of the space mechanical race or the human race."
The Zerg's speculation is almost consistent with that of Dragon City.
In the center of the continent, in the Silver City of the Mechanical Clan, beneath that mechanical city ruled by the Mechanical Lord, there must be secrets from the starry sky.
In addition, such things may also exist in other places that are favored by the mechanical clan.
For example, Coral City in the southwest of the mainland.
"We got the news that one of the most trusted subordinates of the Mechanical Overlord, Mercer, came to Coral City in secret a long time ago." Haidar said, "So the Queen also came here, intending to find an opportunity to find out the secrets of the Mechanical Clan here."
"Understood."
After listening to Haidar's story, Suxia suddenly remembered something.
Not long ago, he defeated An Lan and received a mechanical core as a reward.
After he activated the mechanical core, the new site of the Oasis Camp suddenly shook, and then some wreckage of the alien spacecraft appeared.
At that time, Coral City also shook, and the two brothers and their father in the pharmacy felt it.
If you connect the two vibrations...
There might really be good stuff underground in Coral City.
"The mechanical race developed too fast. In that battle, the queen was seriously injured and was defeated by the mechanical master. The main nest was blown up by the mechanical race, and our race was torn apart. It has only slowly recovered in the past few years."
When talking about this incident, Haidar looked gloomy and could not bear to recall the past.
What is clear is that the queen is a sixth-order psychic creature.
According to the settings given on the official website of Blizzard Games, the current highest level is psychic level 6 plus titanium particle level 60. Any higher will exceed the limit of this planet.
But the legendary Mechanical Overlord was incredibly powerful. In that battle, he defeated three level six Zerg psychic creatures including the Queen in succession.
In the huge war between the two races, the power of an individual is actually not very noticeable.
No matter how powerful the psychic creatures are, they cannot stop the Fire Cult.
But the confrontation between the leaders will affect the momentum of the two tribes.
Once the momentum collapsed, the army was defeated.
"That person is so strong that he has almost no flaws."
Recalling the Mechanical Overlord, even from the perspective of his opponent, Haidar couldn't help but sigh.
Any creature that faces him alone will feel an almost suffocating sense of oppression.
In the past two years, he has been very low-key and has been staying in the Silver City all year round.
But if we go back to ten years ago, rumors about the Mechanical Overlord were everywhere, including his powerful strength, his immortality, his coldness and domineeringness, and so on.
Compared to those rumors, the current rumors about the masked man are nothing.
Wherever he is, there is victory.
His strength forced the Zerg, who always loved to invade crazily, to develop in a low-key manner.
"Get ready, Els."
Haidar extended his tentacles and patted Susha on the shoulder, like an older brother.
"Visitors from another world have arrived. The brief peace is about to end. One day, we will need to face the master head-on."
