The densely packed scene looked like a disturbed hornet's nest, but it wasn't hornets at all. It was a swarm of spindle-shaped fish, each nearly a meter long.

The sheer number was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"...Seriously? All I did was kill a broken shark, and this is what I get?"

Lin Mo was stunned. It was a bit much, making him wonder if the shark had been deliberately sent as bait.

*We lost a shark in the Zerg territory?*

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Since the underwater battle line was struggling, he had no choice but to summon Super F... Cough, the mutated dragon hatchlings.

Explosions cause more damage underwater than in the air, because air can be compressed, but water is much harder to compress.

Like raindrops, depth charges rained down – a truly impressive display of firepower.

True, fish blasting.

At the same time, Guji immediately mobilized the Zerg hatchlings on land to advance underwater. After all, they were the most numerous of the Zerg and could be considered all-around masters.

After confirming that the number of his hatchlings participating in the battle exceeded the enemy's, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Life with ample firepower was just so dull and tedious.

Lin Mo looked at the lollipop in his hand and solemnly put it in his mouth, as if it were a very important and solemn act.

"..."

"Pfft, what am I doing? Am I losing it?"

He folded his arms and waited quietly for the enemy to enter the range of fire. After all, with so many corpses, the drone hatchlings would be heartbroken if they were too far away.

Looking from above, the sea surface presented a clear division: the green spores representing Lin Mo's side, and the deep blue representing the mutated creatures.

And of course, the mutated dragon hatchlings flapping their wings above.

The bomb bays were full, holding back from firing.

This was all due to Lin Mo's training. If it had been the mutated dragon hatchlings from before, they would have opened fire on anything that entered their range!

How dare they get so close to their Queen! All dangers must be nipped in the bud.

At the same time, the Zerg host hatchlings had already taken root on the coast, waiting for the command from the Chief Butler, Kaka. The Baneling hatchlings on their backs would then transform into cruise missiles, delivering a heavy blow to the enemy.

Hmm, that sentence wasn't very auspicious. Did it sound like they'd been penetrated?

"Queen, they're coming."

As soon as Kaka finished speaking, the densely packed Spore Crawlers opened fire, blocking the enemy's line of sight and inflicting damage over a wide area. Like rotten banana peels, they were sticky and fragmented, with pieces of fish corpses constantly falling.

It was a complete dimensionality reduction strike.

The mutated creatures could only rely on their sheer numbers to consume the Spore Crawlers' spores, to see whether their sea of fish would be depleted faster, or whether the hatchlings could reproduce faster.

The mutated dragon hatchlings weren't idle either. They'd been holding back for so long, they were itching to release their payload.

Instead of targeting the vanguard, they chose to directly and physically eliminate the fish in the middle of the swarm.

Mm, the seawater was boiling.

A small amount of seawater could be found in the Blade Worm fragments.

*Thump, thump*, the Blade Worms were used lavishly, as if they cost nothing. It wasn't just one wave of mutated dragon hatchlings, but a production line of them, lining up, launching, and then being replaced. Hmm... something felt a little off?

Forget it, what bad thoughts could a righteous person have?

"Roar!" (Hurry up in front! Can't hold it any longer!)

"Roar." (Almost! Almost!)

The violent explosions caused a ripple in the Overmind Shield in front of Lin Mo.

"..."

"Queen, aren't we overestimating them a bit? It seems like a few too many hatchlings came."

"It's fine, just think of it as a military parade."

Mutated fish, I thank you, old man!

The fish swarm, cut off directly in the middle, scattered like headless flies, each fighting on its own. They had directly entered the close combat phase.

But why should the hatchlings engage in close combat when they could ambush?

Although they could fight, there was no need. This was something that could be completely avoided, just by having the Infestor hatchlings squatting in the back. After all, it wasn't like our support hatchlings couldn't join the fray during close combat.

And so, an amusing scene unfolded. The battle was completely one-sided, like harvesting wheat.

The bright, yellowish-brown hatchlings came into contact with the mutated creatures, carrying the Zerg virus enchantment attached to the Infestor hatchlings.

Mm, as they fought, hey, they became their own people, and even their damage increased!

It was like an old steam train chugging along, and the Zerg virus was like a modern engineer, directly dismantling some useless parts and building two superchargers on the spot.

The power instantly went *kachaka* up.

Although the reality was a bit more complex, that was roughly the principle.

The mutated creatures, which had originally looked somewhat fish-like, began to let their imaginations run wild with their appearance after being infected with the virus, and they went further and further down this path.

The original sharp, spindle-shaped external structure didn't change much, but wasn't the jet nozzle that had been opened at the back a bit outrageous?

Screaming, like fearless zealots, they began to fight frantically, trading injury for injury. Even if their brains were blown out, they continued to charge forward, because at the moment of infection, their original consciousness had already been wiped out, and the control had directly gone to Guji.

Because Kaka was lazy...

Controlling the hatchlings required wiggling the antennae, but the Queen wouldn't let Kaka stay in her arms if she wiggled her antennae. Every time, she would blush and get very angry.

After only a few minutes, the Zerg hatchlings retreated. Hmm, it wasn't because they couldn't win, but because of an emergency avoidance, because...

*Bang!*

One violent explosion after another, one layer of shockwaves after another.

After all, being infected with the Zerg virus didn't mean that they were Zerg hatchlings. Only the gene races that could successfully survive among the mutated species were the most useful, a process known as *gu* breeding (raising venomous creatures).

Many of Lin Mo's current hatchlings had initially come about in roughly this way.

In battles with other races, they constantly evolved, the weak died, and only the strong hatchlings survived.

Those dead infected bodies would release their last radiance.

"Brothers! We're on the same side! Don't come over here!"

"! For the Overmind!"

One after another, the violent explosions grew even more intense. In this fish-packed battlefield, the Zerg virus was simply too useful. Even if the infected mutated creatures exploded, the Zerg virus inside them wouldn't disappear.

Like a chain reaction, the virus spread rapidly.

However, Lin Mo was also carefully controlling these viruses. This thing was too unstable and could easily get out of control.

Once it was out of control, it would be troublesome. Lin Mo didn't want to face his own hatchlings.

After all, not a few Overminds throughout history had faced this kind of situation.
