Chapter 1 Journey's Start

Frowning slightly, judging from the current map, they were still at least a dozen cities away from the coastline. At the current front line, 10,000 Zergling were fighting, or rather, slaughtering.

Although they occasionally encountered some capable survivors, they had survived for more than a week longer than the survivors around Lin Mo.

The number of Tier 5 evolvers was still pitifully small, but compared to Qinghong City, the situation was much more optimistic. Tier 4 evolvers were relatively common; at least, from Lin Mo's current perspective, he had encountered several.

"Once the evolution of the mother nest is complete, the strength of the Zergling should reach the level of Tier 4 evolvers."

"Your Majesty, the current progress is one-third complete. It will take about 20 more hours for the mother nest to complete its evolution," Kaka said from the side.

Lin Mo nodded and continued watching.

...

In front of a dilapidated building, three survivors supported each other. Two men and one woman—a standard protagonist team—which caught Lin Mo's attention.

"Wang Chen! What should we do? These monsters came too suddenly, and they're too strong!" Zhong Qiu clutched her left arm, which was dripping with blood, her face looking terrible.

It wasn't that they were weak, but that these monsters were too strong. Their speed was something that normal humans couldn't achieve. Who could keep up? Fast, heavily armored, and agile? Were these attributes that could normally appear on a single creature?

A hexagonal warrior! This was unfair!

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that those guys are coming soon. We should run away now!" The man called Wang Chen said earnestly. Compared to his two teammates, Wang Chen was much cleaner.

His white T-shirt had a few bloodstains, none of which were his own. Jeans, sneakers, and a fire axe—he looked like a genuine protagonist.

It's just, times have changed, sir!

"Roar!"

With a roar, eight Zergling burst out from four directions. One-on-one, they couldn't beat Wang Chen, but who would play the development game with him?

With the roar of the Zergling, at least a hundred Zergling were converging from all directions. Could a single fighter be called the Zerg?

At the same time, far away, above the clouds, the Overlord leading the battle let out a low roar, seeking support from other Overlords. After all, V-rank evolvers like Wang Chen were rare in a city, with only one or two at most.

It was worth taking seriously. Moreover, the Queen had said not to underestimate any human; either don't provoke them, or kill them all.

"Roar!"

(Can't beat them! Come help!)

"Roar..."

"Coming, you trash. You can't even beat this? Shame on the Zerg!..."

"Brother Chen!" Ding Chengren, who hadn't spoken until now, instinctively shrank behind Wang Chen, swallowed, and warily watched the Zergling surrounding them.

The Zergling crouched, adopting a fighting stance, but before they could attack, their reinforcements were already arriving.

The Zergling already had rudimentary wings on their backs. Although they couldn't allow the Zergling to fly, they could increase their speed on the ground.

This further widened the speed gap between the Zergling, leaving only the Overlords barely able to keep up with the Zergling's advance.

"Don't panic! They're afraid. I remember reading in a book that many animals will try to make themselves look bigger to intimidate their enemies!" Wang Chen was also flustered, but he was the backbone now and could only try to reassure the two.

"My Brother Chen knows so much. But what should we do now? We can't just crouch here, right!"

"Let's face the changes with constancy. We can't show our backs to predators!" Wang Chen just didn't want to run. If he really wanted to escape, these Zergling might not be able to stop him, assuming there were only these eight Zergling.

But right now, there were 800...or even far more than that!

"Wang Chen, you know so much!" Zhong Qiu said with sparkling eyes.

"So, we're still not moving..." Ding Chengren was a little annoyed. Why did all the pretty women like Wang Chen?

"Roar!"

(They're here.)

Another group of Zergling arrived, this time numbering over twenty. Wang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively took a half-step back. Immediately afterward, a roar sounded from behind, causing a tremor.

"How can there be so many!" Ding Chengren was startled and clung tightly to Wang Chen, afraid of being abandoned.

"Run! Run into the building!" Fortunately, there was a building right behind them. As long as they broke through the blockade of these two Zergling, they could get inside!

"You two go in first!"

Wang Chen shouted and stepped forward, facing the two Zergling in front of the building, trying to block them and allow his two teammates to enter the building first. However, this was real life, and competing with the Zergling in terms of reaction speed was a joke.

Did he really think the Zergling didn't understand Mandarin? Loudly plotting?

The two Zergling suddenly retreated, while the Zergling on the sides immediately surrounded them. Understand clearly, Wang Chen made the first move. My Zerg are acting in self-defense, at least the first attack is definitely self-defense.

The remaining Zergling then followed the movements of the main force.

"Ah! Help! I don't want to die!" Before Zhong Qiu could move, she was pinned to the ground by a Zergling, its two scythes blocking all room for movement.

Wang Chen was stunned. This wave of prediction almost choked him.

This wave was a genuine case of trying to steal a chicken but losing rice instead. He didn't save his teammate and got himself involved as well.

The Zergling were still very careful. Although they could harm the human in front of them, they could also easily get hurt. After all, the Queen had ordered that no Zergling should die.

"Roar!"

"Help! Help!" Zhong Qiu's cries for help echoed in Wang Chen's ears, making him restless.

It couldn't be said that Zhong Qiu was weak; any woman would be afraid, especially since this scene looked too much like some forbidden, heavy-handed study material!

It was the kind of... this post has been marked as... (ಡωಡ)

Those who can fill in the blank should go to the corner and face the wall!

"Ugh! Cough cough cough! Vomit! ~"

The Zergling's saliva dripped onto her face. The fermented, bloody, and smelly taste, with fragments of bone, you ask Zhong Qiu how she knew? Of course, it wasn't because she had kissed it, but because she had been crying and it had accidentally dripped into her mouth...
