Chapter 027 Reproduction

Since the huge rhino monster was knocked down by the Zerg in the last battle, the original residents here have known that a group of powerful guys have come from nearby. In their extremely underdeveloped minds, it is still difficult to understand the meaning of outsiders, but the instinct of wild beasts keeps them away from this area.

Because of its oxygen richness, the animals and plants are generally huge, like a fantasy paradise. One time the master even saw a dragonfly four or five meters long. Maybe it is not called a dragonfly, but he is not a biologist. He named them according to some similar animals, which are called lions or tigers; those who look like cats are called snakes; some who are really unable to call them, so they will randomly take a name. For the real owners of the planet, no one will object to their naming rights.

Everything on the planet is fresh and curious for the two masters. After the Zerg is replenished with abundant resources, it grows faster and faster. It took only three days for the female insect to breed a "big beast". During these two days, the juvenile giant beasts were like elephants, tangled around them all day long.

The master felt that the period here was like the era of dinosaurs learned in history. The oxygen content in the air was extremely high, and most creatures were extremely huge, and their wisdom was not high. Perhaps in the past few hundred thousand years, intelligent life would be derived in millions of years. But he was more concerned about this treasure house of nature. The huge animals gave the Zerg sufficient consumption. Exaggeratedly, when the Philos colonized the star, the aliens were mostly hungry, but now they can eat and lie down to bask in the sun every day, let the cold blood circulate in the body and digest food energy.

The aliens grown in the local area are slightly larger than before, and can grow to about 2.6 meters, and are more robust. The alien mother insects rely on the energy supplement of the bacterial blanket and can produce batches of larvae every day. As the bacterial blanket expands to a range of five kilometers, the number of aliens has exceeded one thousand.

Everything is progressing well in other aspects. Although the fungi blanket expands rapidly, it is not a mortal enemy of plants. At least it has a selective growth to greatly protect the reproduction of some plants. Without destroying the balance of the biological chain, the Zerg's expansion speed is only a drop in the bucket.

About evening, near a certain river, the Lord and the Queen rode a teenage beast - a guy who was more than five meters tall. The afterglow of the sun shone on the river surface, reflecting a golden piece, and the waterfall flowing down not far adds a magnificent scene.

Like other Zerg carriers, the giant beast is a special creature that can carry the will of the master. It is higher than animals and has a natural keen intuition about danger. When it is a few meters away from the river bank, it reluctantly slows down. The Zerg's fighting makes it want to go forward and fight, but the master's price is higher than anything else. It falls into this contradiction and can only stop. The protector's mind even wants it to turn its head away.

"Relax! Little guy." The master patted its head, "Go forward and let me see what is in the water."

The entanglement and contradictions of the giant beast immediately disappeared.

When it was very close to the river, the master jumped out, his body fell straight into the river, disappeared on the river surface, leaving behind circles of rippling ripples. The queen stared at the water surface, and after a while, several black shadows swung and quickly moved towards the position where he had just fallen into the water. The creatures more than three meters long were larger than the master, but when arranged by their size on the planet, they could only be classified at the end.

She could feel Hu Yi's movements in the water. Four or five underwater creatures smelled the food and rushed towards him, opening their mouths to bite him.

But there was already a particularly unlucky creature who opened its mouth, but the dominant opened its mouth with both hands and tore it in half. The other ones did not feel the danger, and the smell of blood stimulated their nerves, causing them to pounce on the seemingly weak "Zerg master".

It is very suitable to describe it as overestimating one's own ability. If it is an ordinary human, it will not last more than three seconds to struggle against this group of monster fish. But for the master, their sharp teeth sadly encountered his hard shell that acted as a protective effect on the surface. They snatched it hard and immediately broke a few.

Only then did they think of running away.

The master would not give them a chance. His hands under the water pushed forward suddenly, and the biological superpower wave rushed out, and the shock wave set off a huge wave four or five meters high. The four remaining creatures were rolled up, rushing to the shore. The strange fish leaving the water kept bouncing, twisting and trying to return to the water.

The giant beast rushed over and stomped a strange fish with one kick and splattered blood.

"Haha..." Hu Yi climbed ashore with a smile and shook off the water on his body. "It's not bad. I can finally have a serious dinner tonight."

The queen jumped off the giant beast and held a tool kit in her hand. She had never seen cooked food. In fact, she had not even opened her mouth to eat. The bacterial blanket or the mother insect could transport energy through the tiny interface of her hands or body. The Zerg's previous habits were that the queen never left the mother insect, but since Hu Yi joined, some of his habits have more or less affected the tribe, including some strange customs.

"What do you do to get them?" The queen squatted in front of him, watching him tear a big fish open with his sharp nails, and couldn't help but become curious.

"It needs to be cleaned up." Hu Yitou cleaned up these strange fish one by one. Although he could eat them raw, he always felt that he had less artistic conception when swallowing them whole.

The dignified Zerg master also swallows alive without any image?

The queen was fiddling with him while imitating him, and the giant beast's mind was filled with question marks, but it did not dare to open its mouth and take the fish away. These two creatures imprinted the instinct to follow forever in its soul. No matter what, it could not, nor did it dare to disobey the will of the person in charge.

Another group of engineers brought some dead wood over and soon piled up a small hill.

He lit the wood with a lighter, and then Hu Yi flipped through the tool box. A batch of tools obtained from the spacecraft included knife and fork, seasoning, etc. He divided the fish into sections and tied them into skewers. After the fire was extinguished, he placed it on the charcoal fire to grill it, and added some cooking oil, seasoning, etc. from time to time.

The queen felt that some liquid was beginning to secrete in her mouth and her stomach was also screaming. She had not replenished energy for more than ten hours. She instinctively asked her to find the mother insect, but Hu Yi asked her to endure it until now, until the fragrant piece of meat was bitten by him, and the expression of enjoyment appeared on her face, curiosity made her stretch out her hand to cooked food... In fact, it was not that magical. Hu Yi was not a chef, but it was almost every month to survive in the wild when he was in the army. It would be no problem to bake some delicious food.

"Not bad!" The queen swallowed a big mouthful, choking in her throat, and her voice was unclear. Hu Yi took a glass of water for her helplessly.

"This kind of thing is not urgent," he said with a smile, throwing a large piece of meat to the waiting giant beast. It jumped up quickly and swallowed it in one bite.

Then he let out a comfortable hum.

Hu Yi cut off a small piece of meat with a knife and fork, grabbed the chopsticks in front of her mouth, and said, "Come on, open your mouth. Eat slowly, and chew slowly and swallow slowly will be pleasing to the eye."

She obediently did it and savored it carefully. It was different from the feeling of absorbing energy provided by the mother insects. Although the latter is efficient and lasts for a long time, the fish now has a fragrance that makes her appetite wide. Later, she simply put down what she had in her hands and asked Hu Yi to feed her wholeheartedly.

She opened her mouth to eat and chewed. But she had strong learning ability. Hu Yi only said it simply once, and she could remember that in the end, like a lady from a family, she could be called generous and decent in both movements and amplitude, which made Hu Yi feel full of accomplishment.

"Don't you eat?" She asked softly afterwards.

"No." He shook his head, "I just wanted to recall it, but in fact there is nothing to remember. Everything is destined, isn't it?"

"But you can do better, too." The Queen said, skewing a piece of meat with a chopstick and putting it to his mouth, "Come on, open your mouth."

Hu Yi opened his mouth and accepted her well-liked service.

"I think you must like this." She said with a smile.

He reached out to wipe off the oil stains from her mouth and said, "Maybe I like it as long as it was made by you?"

"Hmm?" She frowned, her eyes shiny slightly under the night, like two rare pearls, blinking a few times, "What does this mean?"

She is smart, but not everything can be understood immediately.

"I can't say it, either." He smiled, leaning back against the belly of the giant beast lying on the ground. Its undeveloped body was a soft cushion.

"In the way of humanity?" She lay beside him, moving her head towards his shoulder, and I don't know when this habit was developed.

"Maybe." He looked at the starry sky above his head.

She thought for a while and said, "I understand, you already know that you can't live without me."

He raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"No?" She fell into deep thought again, flipping through the methods she learned from the previous leader, and analyzing Hu Yi's memory as a human being.

Suddenly, maybe after a while, she seemed to have got the answer, but it needed to be confirmed.

She came over and kissed him lightly in the face.

"Please," she held his arm, "Don't leave me, okay?"

Hu Yi couldn't help laughing out loud. He hugged her shoulders tightly and said, "Hey, it's the same move, isn't it? I just took this sentence to this way."

She pouted, but she knew that this was the most powerful weapon she could achieve her goals.

"Maxine, you know, I won't leave you." Hu Yi looked at her seriously, "I'm here, I've always been here."

"You will take me wherever you go?" Her eyes were filled with wonderful colors.

"Of course, no matter where." He said, pointing at a few bright stars in the sky. "Where you go anywhere, these flashing and vital ones will one by one, continuing and inheriting the immortal fireworks of the race, and no one can stop us."

"You're so nice." She hugged his arm tightly.

The quiet night, the wonderful night sky, the two of them looked quietly, and from time to time there would be some playful or warm words... Most of his human time was spent in command and execution, living mechanically like a machine, but now, at this moment, he understood the meaning of his existence.

—————

Regarding the "emotion" of the Zerg, the book is set as the master ≠ machine. At the same time, the queen master is conscious, wise, able to think, and therefore has subjective initiative and generates emotions. He will not act like a beast. This is the reason why smart creatures are advanced. (Of course, this is a personal point of view. There is no evidence for whether high-level lives have complex emotions, but I am sure of it in this book.)
