"Puff puff!"
With a few crisp sounds, five blade beetles with a height of more than one meter crawled out of a red "pool".
After shaking off the mucus remaining on his body, he revealed the dark red "scythe" and the carapace with barbs that were filled with a murderous aura like dried blood.
[Blade Beetle (Level 50 Elite), HP: 10,000!]
Feng Luo looked at the five elite blade beetles that had reached level 50 with a satisfied expression on his face.
Because the level of 24k is not enough to control and hatch the "Queen", the number of Zerg eggs stored in the base is tens of thousands.
However, considering the lifespan limit after hatching, Feng Luo has not yet hatched a large number of real Zerg units.
However, he made an attempt to use the Zerg base to cultivate beetle troops.
Originally, the level and grade of beetle units after hatching were determined based on the "host" selected during hatching.
Therefore, when choosing high-level monsters, the general beetle unit will reach level 25 or above when hatched.
This is even stronger than the combat effectiveness of the real Zerg "worms", because the larvae of the Zerg monsters are only level 10 after they hatch out.
However, the growth rate of a ferocious insect after hatching is extremely terrifying. It can grow into a level 40 sub-adult in one day, and it can become a level 50 mature body in three days!
But in comparison, the initial level of the beetle unit is higher, but subsequent upgrades require a long period of growth, fighting, and eating.
In this process, most of them did not reach the upper limit of level 50 at all and were already killed in the battle.
This was one of the reasons why the "beetle army" in Feng Luo's hand had never taken shape before.
It wasn't until Feng Luo found the "Zerg Advanced Culture Fluid" in the space battleship's experimental base last time that this problem was solved to a certain extent.
Zerg culture fluid not only allows beetles to quickly upgrade.
It can even make ordinary-level beetles evolve into elite-level units with a certain probability.
This is undoubtedly of great significance.
Because, although there is only one level difference, the combat effectiveness of an elite-level unit is higher than that of two ordinary-level beetle units.
The most important thing is that although 24k now has no shortage of psionic energy needed to hatch beetle units, the number of eggs that can be generated every day is limited. In addition, beetle units also have a maximum survival time. The beetle army actually has a hidden secret. upper limit.
Therefore, it means that every egg needs to reach its maximum use value to be considered as no waste.
For this reason, Feng Luo also specifically found a black female NPC master from the federal military to help him prepare a culture medium specifically suitable for the beetle unit.
However, the culture fluid copied from that NPC.
There is only a one-third chance of upgrading the beetle class to the elite level, and the price is a bit cheap.
Naturally, it is not a waste at all when used on 24k, but it is definitely "burning money" when used on these disposable beetle units that may be killed in battle at any time.
Feng Luo was really not afraid of being burned before, but now that he has become a big player like the Zerg Base, he is really running out of money.
However, when upgrading the Zerg base and cultivating the first fierce insect from the incubation pool, Feng Luo suddenly thought of something.
Is it possible to use the Zerg base to cultivate beetle troops
After all, the previous "Zerg culture fluid" has proven to be equally effective against beetles.
As soon as this idea came up, Feng Luo couldn't wait to try it out.
The result made him overjoyed.
Use the Zerg base to cultivate beetle troops, and the chance of evolving into elite level is almost 100%!
More importantly, it can not only evolve into elite level...
"Whoosh!"
From the red "pool", a blade beetle jumped out again.
However, this blade beetle is fully twice the size of the previous level 50 elite blade beetles.
The body of more than two meters is covered with a hard horny carapace, and the length of a pair of dark red sickle-shaped claws can easily cut a person in half.
[Blade Beetle (Level 50 Commander), HP: 25,000!]
Through training at the Zerg base, there is about a 10% chance that Zerg units will be promoted to the leader level.
This is also the reason why Feng Luo dared to use two commander-level steel beetles to block the door in White City before, and it was not very heartbreaking to sacrifice himself in the end.
Because, in theory, as long as enough "food" can be provided to the Zerg base, the beetle army will be able to continuously emerge commander-level units!
In today's player forums, the video of Qisha commanding thousands of infected bodies to attack the police station has made his boss-level parasitic female pet vaguely known as "the first pet in the war".
However, that's not even counting the Zerg units currently spawned.
The beetle army under 24k is not inferior to the infected army in terms of quantity or grade.
The only thing that may be inferior is probably just because the beetles are gregarious units, so even if the number of levels is the same, they will indeed be inferior.
However, because the proportion of commander-level units in the beetle army is definitely higher than that of the seven-kill infected army.
More importantly, the beetle army has various units with clear division of labor and is more able to accept 24k command operations.
Compared with the infected body who only knows how to attack randomly, Feng Luo believes that the two will never "lose" in a real fight!
What's more, 24k is not just the "king worm" of the beetles, but its future identity should be the "brain worm" of the Zerg.
Although infected bodies and zombies can destroy a planet, they are definitely not on the same level as the Zerg that roams the universe.
Qisha, or the "Dragon Song Guild", the first guild of the rebels behind him, wants to take away the "No. 1 Pet of War" from 24k with a very restrictive boss-level parasite.
Feng Luo could only say hehe.
"Squeak, squeak!"
But Feng Luo hadn't finished yet. 24k, who was lying on Feng Luo's shoulder as if sleeping, suddenly opened his small eyes like soybeans and let out two squeaks.
"Um?"
Feng Luo's eyes were empty for a moment, then returned to normal after a few seconds.
After that, he turned around and ran towards the entrance behind him.
Ten seconds later, Feng Luoren arrived at the entrance of the Zerg base.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong?"
Saw Feng Luo suddenly rush out at high speed.
A scout player in the air-conditioned booth guarding the entrance of the base said with some surprise.
"If there is a situation, let everyone take up arms, there may be a fight!"
Feng Luo gave an order and he was already running towards a sand dune nearby.
The construction of the Zerg base was carefully done, and the surrounding terrain was even specially changed. The surrounding sand dunes formed a ring from all sides, ensuring that outsiders could not see the reality inside directly from the ground.
From inside the base, you only need to run up the sand dunes not far away to see clearly the open terrain that is more than a kilometer outside.
After Feng Luo climbed up the sand dune, he did not use the telescope.
With just the naked eye, you can clearly see the bottom of the field of vision about a thousand meters away.
"Boom!"
On the ground, there was a rolling sandstorm like a tornado that was moving this way, and there seemed to be something in the chaotic sandstorm that was almost black.
"Hiss! What is going on, a sandstorm?"
The scout player had already rushed up with the reconnaissance device. When he saw this situation through his reconnaissance glasses, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's not a sandstorm, it's man-made. Well, or I should say it's man-made!"
Feng Luo's pupils had turned purple at this time.
When "Super Eagle Eye" is turned on, even a chaotic sandstorm cannot completely block his vision.
"Ah, monster?"
"Hey, there seems to be a car in front of the sandstorm, and the people in the car seem to be people from our guild."
The scout player looked a little stunned.
Then, as if he suddenly discovered something, he used his reconnaissance glasses to zoom in on the area in front of the sandstorm.
There is a black spot in front of the sand that looks a bit like a creature to the naked eye, but after magnifying it ten times, you can clearly see that it is actually an energy off-road vehicle with the badge of the Evernight City.
However, this off-road vehicle was running away in front of the rolling waves of sand, just like a rabbit being chased by a tiger, panicking.
"Everyone, run away!"
"The boss is attacking the city!"
Seemingly noticing the situation at the base, a panicked voice reached the ears of everyone here through the Evernight Guild channel.
Boss? Siege the city!
