Chapter 246: The Nest Upgrade Begins

The king's coronation took place amid the anticipatory cheers of the people of Rugoin.

Lei Hein's unexpected return is definitely a shot in the arm for the Rugoin Kingdom at this time.

After the new king gave his speech on the succession, the atmosphere in the whole city of Lugauin suddenly began to come alive again.

Like the first rays of light shining out of the gloomy haze, the city that had just been battered finally began the process of recovery.

Once again, the business district has become somewhat reinvigorated, and people who once lived in the harbor area have begun to rebuild their homes with the help and supervision of soldiers.

In the lower part of the city, people worked together to repair the large hole that had been blown out, and the creative merchants of Lugaoin also renovated the now-abandoned dark alley area to use it as a large ice cellar for ice storage.

Some of the nobles in the upper part of the city had already taken advantage of the chaos, and the fleeing nobles were declared by the king that they were no longer welcomed by Rugoin.

The remaining property and dwellings that he had not been able to take with him were confiscated and used as premises and funds for the temporary resettlement of refugees.

The remaining nobles did not flee, and the king hoped that they would be able to lend a helping hand to the other citizens of the kingdom according to their own circumstances.

In the evening after the coronation, the new king case held a dinner.

The banquet was held very simply, without a pantry of delicacies and glittering golden candlesticks, Lei Hain simply gathered all his vassals together and used the opportunity of the dinner to lay out his own plan for the reconstruction of the city and the pacification of the inhabitants.

Xue Hua didn't go to this dinner, not because he was self-respecting, nor because he didn't give face to the new king, but because he really had something very important to do.

By the time he returned to his home, Abbathhar had already been eager to hear a message from the mind of the Hive.

It told Xue Hua that all the conditions required for the great evolution of the nest group were ready, and all the nests of the swarm would immediately enter a new round of upgrade and evolution with just an order from him, the master.

Due to the excellent preparation in advance, this evolution will involve all aspects of all the current units of the Swarm, and there will also be several new classes and associated basic buildings.

Even, this upgrade evolution will also affect Xue Hua himself, in the process of evolution, because the mind of the main nest will be expanded, so Xue Hua must also participate in the evolution in the form of spirit.

This means that he will fall into a coma until the end of his evolution, and his consciousness will not be able to escape from the mind of the main nest until the evolution is complete.

And since this evolution will include all the current swarm units, the power of the swarm will be in the weakest state at that time, and all the high-level commanders of the Zerg will be genetically adjusted, and even ordinary Zerg units will enter a short-term cocooning state.

During this time, Xue Hua's security around the master was equivalent to zero, and it was when he was most vulnerable and vulnerable to enemy attacks.

For this reason, all the high-level commanders of the Zerg suggested that Xue Hua return to the Barrier Mountain Range and complete this evolutionary upgrade surrounded by the nest of the insect swarm.

Zagala has laid a network of tunnelworms from the barrier mountains into the desert near the coastline, and is preparing to cross the entire Nobil Sea from underground.

Borrowing the Tunnel Worm Network, Xue Hua could easily travel back and forth between Lugauin and the Barrier Mountain Range in half a day, which was why Zagala was able to reinforce so quickly at that time.

After some consideration, Xue Hua agreed to this proposal, because Abbather told him that it would take about ten days to upgrade and evolve, so he told Kane before leaving, saying that he needed to go out to do some errands, and it would take about half a month to come back.

Kane knew that Xue Hua had a lot of secrets, and he must have something important to do if he wanted to leave at this time, so he readily agreed and told Xue Hua that he would explain it to him in front of the king.

In this way, on the afternoon of the day that the new king of Lugoin announced his succession, Xue Hua borrowed the network of pit worms to return to the main swarm nest located below the barrier mountain range.

The entire trip took less than ten minutes, and he was able to cover a distance that would have taken him at least half a month before.

He had used the pit worm before, and the environment inside was not as dark and damp as he had imagined.

It's like you're walking down a slightly earthy underground pipe, and the "walls" around it are hard and dry, not at all like a creature's throat or anything disgusting.

When he walked out of the mouth of the tunnel worm at the exit, he realized that he had unknowingly crossed the entire Aranok Desert, from the desert on the far east coast to the middle of the barrier mountain range in the middle of the continent.

"Wow... This feels awesome~ It's faster than high-speed rail......"

Xue Hua sighed, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

The pit worm placed him near the "main nest" of the tertiary hatchery in the main nest, where it didn't look the same as when he arrived, except for the quiet surroundings except for the sound of the hatchery larvae crawling in and out.

Zagala walked slowly from behind him, and the Mother of the Hive seemed to sense Xue Hua's doubts, so she took the initiative to explain.

"Juggernaut, our nests have hollowed out a third of the ground in this entire mountain range, and I believe that if we are given a little time, the resources of this mountain range will be all within our grasp!

The worker bees of the swarm continue to dig forward, and our main hatchery has moved elsewhere, which is relatively quiet. ”

"Uh... Well, I got it. Xue Hua nodded, satisfied with Zagara's progress.

The Barrier Mountain Range is a huge mountain range that almost literally divides the entire western continent into two halves, and it would be a mega-project of the century to hollow out all of its underground and let humans do it.

Xue Hua was already very surprised that Zagara was able to lead the swarm to such an extent in such a short period of time, especially as the size of the nest group expanded, and now the daily resources in Xue Hua's resource pool were also increasing rapidly.

"Are the other commanders ready?"

After learning a little about the development of the hive, Xue Hua asked about the progress of Abbather's nest upgrade plan.

"Fleet Commander Stokov has entered the mind of the main hive, Zagara, the mother of the hive, has also been prepared, and Abbather and Dhaka are making final assignments, and they need to summarize and sort out their respective tasks.

In addition, the hive system in the asteroid belt has sent a bulletin that there has been a huge psychic energy fluctuation in the workshop of the astral phase technician you spoke to for the past few days, and the worm mothers are asking if you want to take any precautions, or just regain control of the target? ”

"Huh? Kelles? Xue Hua was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the news, and then remembered that he did seem to have such a person in his hand.

This guy locked himself in the studio without saying a word, and he almost forgot about this guy after staying for so long without any response.

But what the hell is this guy doing?

Why did you come up with a psionic response that alerted the mother worm?

After thinking about it, Xue Hua still decided to continue to trust Kellers, this guy's wife and unborn child are still in his hands!

Even if you want to jump back, you have to think about their life and death, right?

"Leave him alone, let him do it, I'd like to see what he can come up with......

"Understood, Juggernaut... Abbather and Dehaka have been connected to the main nest mental core network, do you want to start the nest upgrade immediately? ”

Xue Hua took a deep breath, and then nodded with a firm face.

"Let's go!"
