“Brother, there are people blocking the road ahead, looks like they are waiting for us.”

Zhao Wenqi narrowed his eyes, looking at the ridiculous decorations ahead. He almost laughed out loud. What kind of garbage hiding place is that? They think they can ambush us like that?

“Don't worry, you guys proceed as normal. I'll go take a look first.”

“Okay.”

He quietly circled around to their rear. Zhao Wenqi took a deep breath, sensing the ichorid virus radiating from the people ahead. He grinned. Good heavens, the ichorid virus the Queen released into the sea has already spread here?

With a thought, he preemptively activated the ichorid virus. These people were infected with a strain that had been specially modified based on the sea race's version. Once triggered, they would frantically attack and slaughter all non-ichorid lifeforms in the vicinity, until they collapsed from exhaustion. Then, boom!

“Who knows, oh, here they come! Get ready!”

The man with the goatee, who had been speaking earlier, was instantly overjoyed. He reached out and drew the long sword from his waist, excitedly watching the southern direction.

Sure enough, a small team of twenty-odd people was approaching.

“Something feels wrong, what is that thing on their backs??”

“Huh? Wang De Fa?”

Xiao Yinghua was immediately dumbfounded. Zhao Wenqi's subordinates were using a modification method that Ka Ka had recently developed. It used minimal power to replicate the tentacle structure of a mutated squid, linked to the spine on the back, and completely controlled by the brain.

Combined with the instinctive training simulated by Ka Ka, it could be said that these things were more flexible than their original arms.

Moreover, they didn't require much power. A fifth-tier survivor's crystal core could provide enough energy to operate them.

“Wait! Qing He! What's wrong? Qing He?”

Glug—

Crack—

The sound of twisting and mutating flesh bonding together echoed continuously from behind. Under the gaze of these Little Cherry Blossoms, the man named Qing He, who had spoken first, was now squatting on the ground. His body had shrunk completely, looking like a dwarf only one meter and twenty centimeters tall.

His back was arched, his skin was black, and a black and yellow bone armor had grown on his head.

“Qing… Ah!”

Specializing in the lower three paths, ridiculously fast, with lightning speed, he opened with a monkey stealing peaches, followed by a black tiger digging at the heart, and conveniently took out the crystal core as well.

This sudden change immediately stunned the others.

“Roar!” After letting out a satisfied screech, his scarlet eyes turned to the others once more.

He grinned, and viscous fluid dripped down.

It wasn't as if they hadn't tried to resist, but they died in the next moment.

Just then, Zhao Wenqi also charged over. With his sixth-tier strength, plus the enhancement from the tentacles, his fighting power went straight into god mode.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, the tentacles directly plunged into the corpses from which the crystal cores had been extracted, and began to devour them voraciously.

But in the next moment, Zhao Wenqi was surprised to discover that the infected body was out of control. Even the parasites in his brain became excited. All the signs indicated that the Queen had arrived.

The infected body paused, then directly grabbed the nearest survivor. Amidst the other's screams, it turned into a mass of black tentacles and began its invasion.

The corner of Zhao Wenqi's mouth twitched. There was no mistaking it, this strange method of attack was definitely from the Queen.

The struggling grew weaker and weaker.

An even larger infected body was produced just like that.

After a series of outrageously bizarre operations, Zhao Wenqi stared at the meatball that was already taller than two of him, and his mouth twitched.

A clear thought was transmitted: food bestowed by the Queen.

“What?” The parasite in his brain issued such a clear thought for the first time. Zhao Wenqi didn't react for a moment, but in the next moment, he lost control of his body. The tentacles behind him suddenly burst forth, stabbing into the meat lump in front of him.

With a burst of wriggling, he could clearly sense something cool entering his body.

A sense of fullness was followed by a feeling of distension. Having reached the sixth-tier also had its drawbacks, namely that the body's resilience was too good! A normal person would have ruptured and died long ago, but Zhao Wenqi was fine. He could even clearly feel his internal organs being squeezed together.

And the feeling of his heart being clenched tightly as it began to work under high pressure due to the squeezing.

Zhao Wenqi wanted to cry out, but he couldn't control his body at all.

(What to do?)

Lin Mo tilted her head in the sky, staring at Zhao Wenqi's every move. “Is this okay, Ka Ka?”

“Don't worry, Queen. I've been monitoring his condition. As long as his consciousness isn't destroyed, the demise of his body doesn't matter at all.”

Lin Mo nodded. Lin Mo still found Zhao Wenqi quite pleasing to the eye. He was sensible, obedient, and could understand her needs.

Sun Si Han watched the scene in front of her nervously, biting her lip. If she hadn't been pulled back by the woman behind her, she might have already run over.

As time went on, Zhao Wenqi was surprised to find that he didn't seem to be kicking the bucket as he had imagined. Moreover, his body felt as if he had eaten some kind of dragon essence, feeling like he had inexhaustible strength.

The parasite larvae in his brain also took this opportunity to truly become a symbiont with Zhao Wenqi, replacing a part of Zhao Wenqi's brain.

Not just a physiological fusion, but a fusion of consciousness as well.

Soon, the first zerg to be truly transformed from a human was about to be born. This was also what Ka Ka wanted to do, constantly optimizing Zhao Wenqi's genetic structure to make him like a cerebrate, responsible for the emotional level of war command.

That way, it would be even more entertaining. Unknown things are interesting.
