In a vast underground space beneath the distant Barrier Mountains, a dark purple fungus blanket covered the surrounding mountain walls.

In the middle of this huge space, a large number of egg-shaped cocoons are arranged in a certain order, these cocoons are large and small, the large ones have a diameter of more than 100 meters, and the small ones are only as big as a wine glass.

Without exception, they are all beating slowly, like the heart beating regularly.

At the very top of the largest of them was a smaller cocoon, almost the size of an adult, and countless tiny meridian-like things spread out of the cocoon and pierced into the giant cocoon below.

From time to time, some green luminous substance would enter the smaller cocoon from the inside of the giant cocoon along those tiny meridians, and every time something like this was entered, the smaller cocoon would throb violently.

There was no sound all around, and outside a wide passage not far away, a closed valley that was also covered with a dark purple fungus blanket was in the air, and countless cocoons floating in the air obscured the entire valley tightly.

They pulsated slowly to the same rhythm, and a trace of lilac mist slowly floated upwards from some giant cocoons in the valley below, and the whole scene seemed extremely hazy and weird, if an ordinary person accidentally broke in at this time, I am afraid that they would be directly scared to death.

This scene has been going on for almost half a month, and it looks like it will continue forever.

Suddenly, in the huge space under the mountains, a bright purple light appeared from the inside of the small cocoon floating above the largest giant cocoon, and the pulsating speed of the entire cocoon suddenly increased dozens of times.

At the same time, dense spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread on the shell of this small cocoon, and a trace of purple light mist appeared in the cracks.

The speed of the small cocoon is still accelerating, like a heart that is about to burst if it is beating too fast!

After a few minutes, the fine cracks on the small cocoon had already enveloped the entire cocoon, and the purple light mist in the cracks quickly became thicker.

After another ten seconds, the shell of the cocoon suddenly swelled to the limit, and then exploded with a crisp "bang".

A naked figure appeared in the purple mist, and those faint light mist quickly shrank inward, and all of them were sucked into the body by the human form at once.

The figure in the purple mist showed a face, and it was Xue Hua, who had disappeared for half a month!

At this moment, Xue Hua's eyes were closed, and his short black hair was slowly fluttering in the air.

His whole body seemed to be soaked in a pool of invisible liquid, and he looked around at the almost frozen psionic aura.

After a long while, Xue Hua, who was floating in the air, suddenly opened his closed eyes, and a purple sharp light suddenly shot out of his eyes like a ray.

The pupils in his eyes rippled purple in circles, and a terrifying torrent of psionic energy radiated from him as the center.

A trace of confusion flashed in Xue Hua's eyes, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

But then, he quickly regained his sense of his surroundings and realized that he was wearing nothing on him now......

"it!"

The monster screamed, and with an embarrassed expression, he covered his lower body and was floating in the torrent of spiritual energy......

"Nima Nyima! It's good that no one saw it, otherwise my brother would have lost a lot......"

He quickly took out his equipment from his inventory, put it on, and slowly sent him down as if he were manipulating his own body.

At this moment, all the large and small cocoons beneath him began to pulsate at the same time, bursting open as he hit the ground.

The cocoons were all buildings from previous hives, and the glass-sized cocoons were all hatchery larvae.

In the mind of the main nest, the originally unusually quiet and empty scene was immediately broken, and the roars of countless Zerg units resounded in Xue Hua's spiritual sea.

"A familiar feeling... Not bad~"

Hearing this, the corners of Xue Hua's mouth twitched, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.

"Abasser, are you awake? Report the change when you wake up! ”

He glanced back at the various insect swarms and buildings that were completely different from before, as well as the larvae with a pair of winged sheaths behind him, and the smile of pleasure on his lips suddenly widened.

"Hive upgrade, completed, all upgrade objectives have been achieved, the current condition of the swarm: good.

Change the ...... in the process of creating a report

Abasser's voice rang out in the minds of the main nest, followed by the salutations of the other three commanders.

The change report was quickly handed over to the mind of the main nest, and Xue Hua clearly saw the overall evolution results of the swarm from the bottom up through this report.

The first to be changed is the swarm's carpet, which not only expands faster than before, but also receives a lot more reinforcement when a swarm unit fights on the carpet.

The most important change comes from a new ability of the Blanket, which now forms a number of glands with a limited life of about three days, which can be carried by the swarm and seeded to other surfaces that are not covered by the blanket if necessary.

These glands will spread out a temporary blanket about 10 meters in diameter at the moment of seeding, which can be solidified by the blanket tumors hatched by the mother.

After the blanket, the larvae in the hatchery have also changed, these larvae are now able to hatch Zerg units in a shorter period of time, and their cocoons are more difficult to destroy.

They have an extra pair of small wing sheaths on their backs, which allow the larvae to now fly in mid-air near the hatchery.

The greatest benefit of this evolution is that it almost triples the maximum larval reserve in the hatchery, and if there are multiple hatcheries on the same blanket, the effect is increased by 50%.

In addition to the base units of these two swarms, all of the Zerg buildings have now been improved.

Hatchery, Hive, and Main Hive are now more efficient, they are able to convert more of the minerals collected by worker bees into resources, and when the hatchery is attacked, these creature structures are now able to evade enemy strikes by moving important parts of their bodies underground.

To put it simply, the hatchery is now able to burrow into the ground like other Zerg units when attacked, and although it still can't move after burrowing into the ground, for some enemies who can't attack underground units, this trick is tantamount to a very good life-saving move.

In addition, hatcheries are still capable of producing larvae even after burrowing into the ground, but the production efficiency will be lower.

Outside of the hatchery, the other buildings of the swarm have also been altered to varying degrees, and these changes will directly affect the Zerg units corresponding to their functions.

There is now an upgrade in the split pool related to the jumping worm (self-healing under stress), which further strengthens the nutrient synthesis system of the jumping worm.

When this upgrade is developed, the hoppers will have a new hormone reserve system in their bodies, which will automatically activate when the hoppers take fatal damage, giving the hoppers a very strong self-healing ability for a short period of time, which can usually directly pull the hoppers back from their severely injured state, making them regain considerable combat effectiveness.

It should be noted that this self-healing system has a reserve limit, and each hopper can only activate this self-healing ability once every three days.
