Chapter 1114: I can build you a fleet.
Following the commander's orders, the head of the research institute began to open the gate.
"These are all the Zerg corpses that have been sent to our research institute in the past."
Our mission here is to study the Zerg in interstellar space, and we require all captured Zerg units from various locations to be sent here.
But in reality, many of these cases involved severe injuries sustained after the war.
When it arrived at our place, it was half-dead, and soon it died completely.
In addition, there were the Zerg that died in our experiment.
This resulted in a large number of Zerg corpses appearing.
These Zerg corpses are difficult to deal with in the short term, and it would be inappropriate to simply throw them out as space debris.
So we'll store everything here.
"We'll see what happens next," the institute director explained, as the door opened completely.
This is a very large storage room.
As Zhao Chen walked through the gate, the head of the research institute thoughtfully handed him a face mask.
"The smell inside is a bit strong, so we need to change our clothes and disinfect ourselves when we come out," the head of the research institute said, putting one on the insect princess and one on himself.
He followed Zhao Chen inside.
The three of them were standing on a staircase with plenty of space above and below them.
Inside, there were piles of Zerg corpses, some so mangled that they were unrecognizable.
Zhao Chen looked around but found nothing of value.
He was about to turn and leave.
But after taking a few steps, he found that Mushihime was still standing there.
"Little bug, let's go back."
He called out, but the Insect Princess did not respond.
"Little bug?" Zhao Chen walked over and called out.
Only then did they realize that Mushihime's face was already covered in tears inside the mask, even blurring the mask.
The Insect Princess abruptly removed her mask, her face streaked with tears as she pointed at the corpses: "They said...they wanted to go home..."
Zhao Chen stared at the Insect Princess in astonishment: "Go home?"
Didn't you say you couldn't connect with them?
How come I'm hearing their words now, especially since they're all dead?
"The little bug doesn't know."
The little insects only heard that they wanted to go home...” the insect princess said softly.
“But... how are they going to get home?” Zhao Chen said helplessly.
"Can you give them all to the little bug?" the bug princess asked cautiously.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said, "You have to tell me what you're going to do first."
Insect Princess opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to describe it.
She simply jumped onto the stair railing, then opened her arms, closed her eyes, and faced the'sea of corpses' opposite her.
From nowhere, dandelion-like things appeared on the Insect Princess's body and floated towards the sea of insect corpses.
When these dandelions landed on the sea of corpses, they quickly turned into brown fruits.
These brown fruits soon crumbled.
Tiny insects crawled out of it.
And these tiny insects began to eat the sea of insects, their bodies growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Chen witnessed a small insect, originally only the size of a thumb segment, grow to the size of a small car in just ten minutes.
This growth rate is terrifying.
"What is this thing?" Zhao Chen asked in astonishment.
"This should be Zerg spores." The head of the research institute, who was standing nearby, had already begun recording everything and was analyzing it based on his experience.
"Zerg spores?" Zhao Chen couldn't help but recall the 'Zerg spore virus' that had brought him bad memories before.
At the time, the doctor used this virus to spread it directly to dozens of star systems, causing the people in those star systems to turn into insectoids, which could be described as the end of the world.
"This is one of the ways the Zerg reproduce."
When we dissect and study those Zerg motherships, we find that some high-level Zerg motherships have a special'spore space' inside their bodies.
Just like the ovaries of human women.
They store large quantities of these insect spores there, and once they encounter a suitable environment for reproduction and growth, they will release these insect spores.
After being born, Zerg spores will eat the food around them to grow and evolve.
The reason why the interstellar Zerg we encountered before was able to expand continuously was because of this method.
"Once they arrive on a planet, they will reproduce continuously in this way," the head of the research institute explained.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly.
Why is the Insect Princess using this method now?
About ten minutes later, Mushihime opened her eyes again.
She returned to Zhao Chen's side and pointed to the scene before her: "This is what I have to do."
These small insects will devour the corpses and turn into large insects.
Then these large insects can return to our home, essentially bringing the insectoid race home with them.
We Zerg have a belief that physical death is not true death.
The tribespeople would eat the corpses of their dead members, carrying on their will as they went on.
I want to take them home too!
"So that means you can control them?" Zhao Chen asked.
Mushihime nodded.
Another idea suddenly popped into Zhao Chen's mind.
“I’m asking you.”
Let's say you get more of these Zerg corpses.
"Can you transform them all into normal Zerg under your control?" Zhao Chen asked seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Insect Princess said, "It should be fine."
Those bad bugs outside, the little insects are uncontrollable.
But the little bugs here, those bugs can be controlled.
"Go and make arrangements immediately..." Zhao Chen looked at the head of the research institute next to him and immediately assigned another experimental project.
The content is very simple.
It means to kill a 'bad bug' directly.
Then bring it to the Insect Princess and let her try to see if she can use the corpse of this originally bad insect to spawn an insect race under her control.
The experiment went very smoothly.
The newly bred Zerg are completely controlled by the Zerg Queen.
And he no longer had that bloodthirsty, brutal demeanor.
When Zhao Chen and his group approached the several tank-like giant fleshy worms, these worms even cowered in fear, showing no intention of attacking.
To this end, Zhao Chen also arranged for other people to conduct experiments.
Whether you walk up to them or touch them, they don't show any malice.
They are completely different from those brutal interstellar Zerg!
With this verification, Zhao Chen's plan can be considered to have been largely successful.
After cleaning themselves up, Zhao Chen and Chong Ji went into a room.
"Little Bug, I need to discuss something with you."
Insect Princess looked at Zhao Chen with a puzzled expression.
"Didn't we agree to cooperate before?"
You want to return to your homeland and take revenge on the established order, don't you?
These all require strong combat capabilities.
As you can see, my army is now at war with the order.
Are you willing to use your abilities for this?
"I will help you build your own Zerg fleet!" Zhao Chen stared at the Zerg Queen and stated his idea!
