Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Compared to humans, the Zergs’ biggest advantage was in the number of Zergs who could enter the battle at the same time.

As for humans, not a lot of soldiers could enter the battle. After all, a normal soldier didn’t have any advantage over even the lowest level Zerg. What humans depended on was technology and those super powerful people.

As for the Zergs, it was simply in their numbers.

They didn’t need anything else, only their endless numbers. They could even tire a human to death if needed!

This was the Zerg race’s most effective and also most terrifying tactic!

The tactic of winning through numbers!

“Think of a plan, I must think of a plan now!” Hong Dali’s eyes were bloodshot. He was kind in nature, he came to this world because he saved two children disregarding his own life. Now, seeing that there were still four billion-plus people on Earth, how could he bear to watch them end up in despair and become food for the Zergs?

“What should I do? What else can I make use of?” Hong Dali tried hard to calm himself down. “I mustn’t lose my calm, I definitely can’t lose my calm now!”

What else could he use on Earth? Weapon? He had already used up the nuclear bombs, the remaining weapons were of no use! Technology? The strongest technology, the Stellar-level Space Carriers were already here, what other technology on Earth could be of use? Numbers? What use was there trying to fight with the Zergs through numbers?

Wait!

Thinking up to this point, Hong Dali suddenly thought of someone, someone who might be of use!

Hong Family, his Fourth Uncle, Hong Jianye!

Hong Jianye might not have any combat ability, but his strength was in that he knew how to plot against others! If he asked for advice from this uncle…

“Xiaoyi.” Hong Dali anxiously said, “Quick, invite my Fourth Uncle, Hong Jianye here. He is on this space carrier now, right?”

“Okay, Young Master.” Although Ling Xiaoyi didn’t know what use Hong Jianye had now, she knew one thing, which was that Hong Dali never did things without a reason!

Since Hong Dali asked to invite Hong Jianye over, there must definitely be a use for him!

Very quickly, a burst of soft laughter sounded—

“Haha, Dali, why did you suddenly think of me? Speaking of which, I heard that someone ran away previously.”

This was Hong Dali’s Fourth Uncle speaking. Wearing a suit, Hong Jianye smilingly walked in.

“Fourth Uncle.” Upon seeing Hong Jianye, Hong Dali hurriedly stood up. “You are here.”

Although their two families had some unhappiness between them last time, it was like one’s right hand fighting with the left hand, they were still one big family after all. Hong Dali wasn’t someone who would remember past hatreds, so he wasn’t bothered by what happened in the past. Now that the threat of the Zergs was impending, it was naturally more important to fight against the Zergs.

“Yup.” Hong Jianye sat down without much regard and crossed his legs, without any composure that an elder should have. Instead, he looked at Jiang Qianxue first and smilingly said, “Huh? Could it be that this lady is the legendary Galaxy Aristocrat? Your temperament is indeed outstanding. Dali, you really have good eyesight, you can easily find such a beautiful young lady. Are you preparing to make her your wife?”

This old fellow was always this way, not being serious at all. Although Jiang Qianxue was a bit angry, he was still praising her good looks, after all. So, in a half-displeased and half-angry tone, she humphed and said, “You are indeed from the same family as Dali, not being serious at all.” Of course, although she said this, she wasn’t really angry.

“Fourth Uncle, stop the jokes.” Hong Dali walked up and sat beside Hong Jianye. “Do you have any good ideas? There are too many Zergs.”

“Some.” Hong Jianye smiled and said, “Weiguo said that I am full of wicked ideas. Since there isn’t any use in keeping them, I might as well use some of them on the Zergs, hehe.”

This person was quite interesting, describing himself as full of wicked ideas…

“Hehe.” Hong Dali laughed and said, “Fourth Uncle, you must be joking.”

This fourth uncle of his was talented in plotting. Of course, he still lost to Hong Dali’s invincible luck in the end. But that was a special situation. Now, at such a perilous time, Hong Jianye’s wicked ideas might really be of use to them. This was why Hong Dali invited him over.

“Yup, let’s talk about that guy who ran away first.” Hong Jianye lit-up a cigarette, sucked in a mouthful, and said, “If I was him, I definitely wouldn’t report to that whatever headquarters immediately after I return. If not, the timeline wouldn’t add up. Therefore, he really left for good. If you guys are thinking of him bring reinforcements, that will happen at least one month later. By then, things will be too late.”

Hearing this, everyone instantly nodded.

This point that Hong Jianye said was very true.

Timeline.

If Li Tianxing immediately reported back to headquarters, the time wouldn’t be correct. It would prove that he became a deserter. Therefore, from the current looks of things, they couldn’t depend on Li Tianxing to bring back reinforcements.

“I think you guys know of whatever firepower we have now, you have used up the nuclear bombs already, right? I shan’t talk more on this.” Hong Jianye tapped away the cigarette ash and said, “However, I have an idea which might be of use to you.”

He had an idea! The idea thought by this guy full of wicked ideas was definitely not something normal!

Everyone listened quietly.

“The opponent is the Zergs.” Hong Jianye slowly said, “If we use nuclear bombs alone, we will use them up very quickly, there isn’t time to make new ones also now. I reckon that you don’t have any of those remaining now, right? However, I have some other good stuff here. Previously, upon hearing that the bugs are coming, I prepared a bit of it. Hehe, it might be of use, who knows.”

He really had a plan!

Everyone looked towards him and kept quiet, waiting for this old guy to tell them his plan.

Yet, as expected of someone full of wicked ideas, he humphed and said, “Oh my, I am already very old now, my legs are aching and hurting…”

This old rascal!

“Fourth Uncle.” Hong Dali grinned and hurriedly massaged his leg. “Is this okay?”

“Yup, comfortable!” Hong Dali laughed and patted Hong Dali’s arm. “Little rascal, your mouth is really sweet. It’s good that you didn’t forget about your fourth uncle. Your status is different now, just making a small sign of appreciation is enough.”

“Yup.” Hong Dali hurriedly said, “Then, Fourth Uncle, hurry and tell us your idea.”

“Alright.” Hong Jianye took in a deep breath and then said, “A scientist from Merika’s Harvad University discovered some time ago proof of the most ancient zombie ant on Earth. A fungus that lived 48 million years ago was able to change and control ants’ behavior by releasing chemicals, turning them into puppets until the ants eventually died.

“There’s no need for you to know the name of this fungus, just call it zombie fungus. This zombie fungus can infect ants and, once the ants are infected, their actions will be under the control of the fungus. The fungus will keep growing inside the ant’s body, and also release chemicals that will affect the ant’s behavior. Some of these zombie ants left their ant colony and wandered outside by themselves, searching for fresh leaves.

“Therefore, simply put, this thing might be effective against these bugs in the universe too. If you can infect them with this fungus and cause them to fight amongst themselves, I reckon that you will have quite a good reward.”

Zombie fungus! Able to control ants and turn them into zombies! Such a powerful bacterial virus…

“But Uncle, will this thing be useful against the Zerg race?” Hong Dali asked the question that everyone was curious of.

The zombie fungus was useful on the ants on Earth, but would it be useful on the Zergs too?

“Of course.” Hong Jianye smilingly said, “Don’t you have a small girlfriend called Zhang Yi? After hearing my suggestion, she immediately experimented with it. The result is that it is indeed useful! The reason why I only told you now is that the newest zombie virus has already been created. This thing can directly invade the Zergs’ DNA. Once they are infected, the Zergs will become crazy and bite whatever they see. Also, the time to take effect is very short, only about half an hour or so…”

What the heck! What the heck! What the heck!

There’s actually such good stuff!

Zhang Yi, I love you to the extreme!

Hearing this piece of good news, everyone instantly erupted!

A new zombie virus! As long as they could infect the Zergs with this, the Zergs would kill each other! By that time, how many Zergs would be wiped out!?

“However…” This “however” caused everyone’s heart to drop again. “This zombie virus can probably be used only once. Not because there isn’t enough of it, but because Zhang Yi said that the evolving power of the DNA of the Zerg race is very powerful. We can catch them by surprise this time, but after some time, this zombie virus may not be useful anymore.”

“Don’t fear!” Towards this, Hong Dali expressed that this wasn’t a concern at all. “As long as we can pass through this time period, that will be enough! What we need now is time! Once everyone on Earth is evacuated, we can have more choices in our next course of action. We can either continue to play with the Zergs—if not, by that time, we can just leave too, isn’t that the case?”

What Earth needed most now was time!

All other matters weren’t a problem. Once all of the humans and animals on Earth were evacuated, all other matters wouldn’t be a problem anymore!

“Okay, there’s no more problems then.” Hong Jianye smiled and said, “I have asked the people on Earth to send the zombie virus over. There isn’t a lot of it currently, but this thing breeds very fast and will cross-infect. Also, it won’t die immediately in a vacuum. I believe that it should be quite effective.”

“Good!” Knowing this, Hong Dali’s mood immediately turned better. If Zhang Yi said that this was useful, then it would definitely be useful. He instantly laughed out loud and said, “Then, this time, I shall change my name to King of Venom, Hong Dali! Let’s teach these bugs a lesson, brouhahaha!”

…

Earth.

Countless people were panicking. After all, the nuclear bombs had already exploded in space, the people on Earth didn’t have any clue of what the situation the battle was in now.

However, they still knew one thing—with Hong Dali around, there would still be hope!

He had even mobilized over 10,000 enormous transport spacecraft, what could Hong Dali not achieve?

What could mere Zergs do?
