The crackling electricity instantly illuminated the entire ground!

The familiar stench of scorched hair, the protein smell, the aroma of fried scorpion…it was much like fried grasshoppers, really.

The surfaces of the black scorpions gradually took on a faint, dark-red hue, looking almost cooked.

"Empress, this smells quite delicious."

"Indeed."

After confirming that all the scorpions on the ground were dead, Lin Mo landed lightly. The ground was crisscrossed with traces left by the electricity, and the original quicksand had obediently turned into solid plates.

Lifting her foot, she approached one of the best-cooked scorpions. Taking out a Zai Zai blade, she stabbed it in.

"Not very sturdy, after all."

Skillfully cutting out a tic-tac-toe pattern, she removed the dark-red outer shell, revealing the soft, white meat inside with a hint of yellowish undertones, still steaming slightly.

Lin Mo swallowed, frowned, and glanced at Kaka.

Kaka immediately understood, explaining to Lin Mo in a serious tone that this thing was, in essence, the same material as a normal scorpion.

Muscle was just a carrier unit for bio-energy, and no major mutation had occurred in its essence.

"Ahem, no harmful substances were detected in the muscle. In human terms, this thing is very nourishing."

Only then did Lin Mo relax and tear off a piece, putting it in her mouth.

Although it wasn't seasoned with salt, Lin Mo still found it delicious, her eyes shining brighter.

"Oh, right, Empress, the Overmind Zai Zai on the main world side said that Xiang'an City, the city next to ours, has had its internal bio-energy completely collected."

"Hmm?"

Lin Mo was happily eating when she was taken aback, her mind still occupied with how delicious this thing was.

After a pause, she tilted her head and asked:

"They're all dead?"

"Yes, Empress."

"Alright, I guess. Doesn't really feel like anything."

With that, she began rummaging through her ring for cumin, "This stuff needs cumin and chili powder to be really tasty. Heh heh, Lin Mo, ah Lin Mo, you truly are a genius gourmet!"

"..."

Kaka watched the Empress, who was under a parasol amidst a pile of corpses, setting up a dining table and preparing to demonstrate her culinary skills, feeling somewhat helpless.

Lin Mo hummed a song, in a very beautiful mood, after all, it had been too long since she had eaten any formal food. The locust meat she had collected at the beginning had quickly become tiresome after just two meals.

It didn't even sustain her as long as nutrient paste. Even this morning, Lin Mo had drunk nutrient paste for breakfast.

Although it didn't look very appetizing, it was too cheap, and with the Zerg's approval bonus, Lin Mo could accept it.

While Lin Mo was happily enjoying her spoils, Kaka wasn't idle. Using the sensory abilities of the Overseer Zai Zai, Kaka had found several locations that seemed to be hiding places for monsters.

After all, Kaka didn't like the race of those who dared to ambush the Empress and attempt assassination.

Scorpion mutant stabbed to death by a Roaches: You ****! I was sleeping peacefully! You stepped on my back and wouldn't even let me move!

"Empress, the Zai Zai is here."

Kaka suddenly raised its small head and looked at the clouds in the sky, at the Mutalisk Zai Zai that was flying.

Lin Mo rarely put down her chopsticks while still eating, "Didn't bring a mount..."

Although Kaka could carry Lin Mo to fly, Lin Mo didn't like the empty feeling under her feet, it felt very unsettling.

"Forget it, let's finish this quickly and call it a day."

Lin Mo wiped the cumin powder from the corner of her mouth and skillfully wiped the oily stains on her hand onto Kaka.

Anyway, Kaka could self-clean, what better towel could there be?

"Empress, I've marked several locations, it should be resolved quickly." Kaka acted as if it hadn't seen anything, already used to it, and subconsciously cleaned its back.

"Well done, Kaka!"

Lin Mo never skimped on rewards for Kaka, praising it when it deserved it.

"Heh heh heh... ahem, Empress, let's go."

Perched on Lin Mo's shoulder, Kaka pointed in a direction with its little tentacles, and the Mutalisk Zai Zai above the clouds quickly followed.

About five minutes, they had already flown a long distance.

"Empress, the ground beneath us is it. I've already sensed those familiar fluctuations, but, there's also a very special signal, humans, if I'm not mistaken."

"Okay."

Lin Mo had no goodwill toward the mutated creatures of this world, after all, they all looked stranger than the last.

"Let the Mutalisk Zai Zai begin! Bomb from the outside in!"

"Yes, Empress."

It was too easy for Mutalisk Zai Zai to deal with this kind of race that couldn't fight back. The Glaive Worms, in a circular formation, landed steadily on the ground with the sound of breaking wind.

The desert couldn't resist the impact of the Glaive Worms at all, easily losing its defenses, allowing the Glaive Worms to enter the innermost part.

Having close contact with the mutated scorpions inside.

"Boom!"

Since the Roaches Zai Zai were born, the Marines, who had been nominated but had no time to be favored, were directly relegated to the cold palace, after all, what man could refuse the Roaches Zai Zai, such big guys!

The smoke below grew stronger.

In the underground space of the desert, a simple laboratory, that could even be described as rudimentary, without any iron plates or automation.
