Chapter 141 Baffling Earthquake
"Doctor, the range of those creatures is even larger now. Current conservative estimates put their number at at least two hundred thousand."
Zhou Xiaonan said, holding a laptop.
Yang Tianzheng frowned slightly. "How is 'Dearest'? Hasn't she advanced to Tier 6 yet?"
"Uh, not yet, Doctor. For some reason, Dearest hasn't even been using her abilities recently, and she hasn't been on the trading system either. The food you asked us to prepare, 'Dearest' hasn't bought any of it."
Yang Tianzheng frowned. "What about her vital signs? Everything normal?"
"Yes, vital signs are all normal, but because the system's power is focused on suppressing the level of these mutated creatures, we don't have any images of Dearest."
"Alright, release the restrictions tomorrow. Can't spoil her too much."
"..."
*Does the Doctor not feel guilty when saying that? None of the previous generations of scavengers have seen you so attentive. The double standard is too obvious.*
Zhou Xiaonan didn't dare to say these words.
"Yes, Doctor."
"By the way, what's the situation on the other world side? I heard that some unstoppable monsters have appeared there as well?"
"Yes, Dawn speculates that the other world may have mutated, leading to the appearance of those special monsters, which then bypassed the blockade and entered the world currently being sealed by the system."
"Have the other world side fix it as soon as possible, and don't disrupt the situation."
Yang Tianzheng continued to discuss other matters, then asked about Lin Mo's situation again.
Dawn's current situation is rather awkward. The system's blockade suppresses their deployed soldiers as well, so they aren't actually much stronger than the survivors, which is strange.
At the same time.
Over at Lin Yuan's side, Kaka came to Lin Mo with a mouthful of crystal nuclei, all cleaned.
Sixty Tier 5 nuclei, eleven Tier 6 nuclei, and several that were directly blown up by the Zerglings.
[Ding, congratulations on collecting enough life energy. Advance?]
After confirming the option, Lin Mo smoothly advanced to Tier 6. There weren't any special changes. Lin Mo hadn't used his abilities in a long time. Kaka was much more useful than his abilities.
When Lin Mo used his abilities, it was like lifting his hand and having to consciously control each muscle, very troublesome. But with Kaka, it was different. It only took a thought, and Kaka would take care of it.
It wasn't that Lin Mo was lazy, but Kaka was just too convenient.
Even the number of Zergling spawn rapidly increased, and Lin Mo could mobilize an even greater amount of psionic power. Who knew how tough the Overmind Shield was now.
Moreover, because this generation's Queen was so petite, the required power was greatly reduced, practically eliminating the cooldown period.
"Should I just advance to the next stage?"
Lin Mo looked at the crystal nuclei in front of him and fell into thought. In the end, he gave up. He didn't do anything other than eat and drink, so he shouldn't waste these resources. He should leave them for the Zerg. The sudden surge in Zerg numbers was causing slight problems with the food supply.
If Lin Mo had a Leviathan now, it would be fine; they could just finish off the Blue Star and move on. But Lin Mo didn't have one now, and finishing off the Blue Star would be a disaster.
However, Lin Mo estimated that based on the evolution of the Nest, it would only need to evolve twice more to complete its gene derivation.
The current Nest was still too small, only a few dozen meters. The smallest Leviathan hatchling was over 3,000 meters high...
However, the map exploration was still too small. The Creep Zerg was doing its best to collect and accumulate the bio-energy of the main world and the other world near the Nest, constantly maintaining its evolution.
Evolution never stopped. There was no choice; it was simply impossible to fit everything otherwise.
As the final point of the Creep network, like the main trunk of a tree root, all energy would eventually converge into the Nest.
If zombies were the end of humanity, then the Zerg were the end of the Blue Star.
The area centered around Qinghong City was already becoming the Qinghong Basin.
Except for the city center, which still had the Creep Zerg's imitation greenery, the rest of the area was completely covered in purplish-gray goo.
"Guji!"
While Lin Mo was thinking, Guji had already arrived.
The Creep hadn't even finished spreading, and the Zerg were already all there.
But it didn't matter. There were plenty of survivors in this city; weren't they all ready-made food? Lin Mo didn't know how many Zerg had come. As long as he entered the Zerg network, the screen was full of messages greeting him...
Fortunately, the Zerg didn't act cute this time. If they were all rolling around on the ground, it would be the end of Lin Mo. It would definitely cause an earthquake!
However, this was, after all, a fine tradition of the Zerg to please their Queen. Even the Ultralisk Zerg had this setting...
So...
Two men and one woman felt the ground trembling in shock.
"What's going on? Is this an earthquake?"
"Hey, we've even seen immortals. What's there to be afraid of now? These buildings can't crush us anyway."
"That's true."
Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, with a sound like harvesting wheat, the buildings seemed to have been arranged, neatly and uniformly collapsing.
They wouldn't have fallen normally, since skyscrapers are designed to be earthquake-resistant, but due to years of disrepair and the particularly large tremors, they couldn't withstand it.
"That's a bit much. But I remember that major earthquakes near the sea are accompanied by tsunamis."
The other two immediately stared at the man who spoke.
"..."
"..."
Lin Mo helplessly rubbed his forehead. This was too much. Why was there such a strange setting? Would the Leviathan Zerg also do this in the future? That would be deadly.
Three thousand meters... what kind of concept was that? It was like the Himalayas doing a somersault... After all, removing the three-thousand-meter plateau beneath the mountain would make it about that big...
Guji stared at Lin Mo with excitement. After all, as Zerg produced later, even the Overseer Zerg still had this setting in their minds: roll around upon seeing the Queen...
"Guji, stop looking. Let the Zerg begin."
"Guji!"
Although Kaka could control the Zerg now, and even had higher authority, it was a lazy fellow. After all, the building had collapsed, and if the Queen wanted to enjoy the evening breeze, she still had to rely on Kaka.
Overlord Zerg: Am I in the way?
The main fighting force of the Zerg was the Zergling and Ultralisk Zerg. Now that the city had collapsed, they directly entered hunting mode.
"Roar!"
