Chapter 28: 140
On the first day of landing on the surface of Malfi, Norris and the ghosts followed the sewage pipe connecting the hive to the wasteland and entered the bottom nest of the Malfi hive.
Phase Shift allows them to ignore most terrain.
After experiencing the Agasos chicken thief incident, Norris's first worry was whether the nest of the hive city here would be completely occupied by chicken thieves just like the nest of Agasos at that time.
These guys are much harder to deal with than Chaos. Their perfect unity and the spirit of fighting to the last man will make their actions even more difficult.
However, Norris felt more at ease after looking at the ghost beside him and a backpack behind him.
Alien insect eggs were lying quietly in their backpacks, waiting to hatch.
Norris has seen the planet that the alien insects now occupy.
Gao Yi has named this planet Char, just like the mother planet of the Zerg in the interstellar space.
The alien insects that covered the entire planet and the Leviathan floating in the void still left a deep impression on him.
Norris thought of Kerrigan, who looked like a girl. No one would have thought that Kerrigan was the real ruler of this horrible race. Everyone who saw her saw her as a lively and cheerful little girl. Only when she controlled the Zerg would she reveal her queen side.
As Norris began to explore the bottom nest, he found that the situation here was not much better than when it was occupied by chicken thieves.
"Doesn't the governor here send people to clean the bottom nest regularly?!"
Norris couldn't believe what he saw at Malfi's nest.
Even though the area being explored now only occupies a tiny part of the Bottom Nest, it can be said that there is no normal Bottom Nest settlement in these areas.
Almost every settlement has some kind of chaos belief. Norris even saw a few black oil men. Following these black oil men, he even discovered a blasphemous factory.
The profane production line is consuming human life, transforming it into weapons or even transforming it into corrupted combat servants.
From time to time, mutants are captured for sacrifice or even body modification.
It is normal for Chaos Cults to exist in the Base Nest. It would be strange if there were none. Even in Holy Terra, where the God-Emperor resides, there are Chaos Cults in the Base Nest as well.
But under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Justice or the rulers of the hive city will regularly send teams to clean up the bottom nest and suppress the rampant spread of these cultists or mutants as much as possible.
But it doesn't look like this place has ever been cleared.
Only believers of different evil gods and mutants are fighting each other in this nest.
Glades is simply letting these cultists grow stronger.
In half a day, Norris was surprised to find that he had read all five mainstream beliefs of Chaos, and there were even Undivided Chaos cultists who believed in Chaos itself. Wow, Undivided Chaos was rare among these ordinary Chaos cults.
Even the proportion of Chaos Psykers or Chaos Wizards here is frighteningly high.
The entire Malfi Hive Base is now like a Chaos Cult Museum, where cults with different ideologies exist under the belief in one evil god.
But no matter how wantonly destroyed by this group of Chaos Cults, the chaos in the entire base nest was outrageous, and there were unbearable scenes everywhere, which made Norris a little unsure of how to start.
What shocked Norris the most was that he even saw some soldiers in PDF uniforms trading with these cultists.
Various supplies were delivered here to support these cultists.
Instead of attacking these traitors with Ghost, Norris began to look for uninhabited areas suitable for the development of the Zerg.
The good news is that the bottom nest is large enough and has enough uninhabited area to hide the eggs.
The Zerg are not strong before they form a large scale, and can even be said to be fragile. Once discovered, Norris has no confidence that the hatched Zerg basic units such as the Zerglings can withstand the siege of massive cultists.
It takes a long time to hatch high-level alien insects, and Gao Yi can't wait.
"Lord Norris! This area is suitable. We have explored it and there are no heretics nearby!"
"Very good! Let's get started!"
Norris and others took off their backpacks and placed the alien insect eggs in an abandoned pipe where they were now.
At this time, Kerrigan beside him also sensed the state of the eggs.
"Father, Norris and the others should have already placed the eggs. I can sense that the eggs are eager to hatch."
Kerrigan's body has grown to about 10 years old at this time, and more and more alien insects are constantly strengthening her psychic power and body.
As the number of Zerg increases, the swarm network becomes more solid, allowing Kerrigan to remotely hatch some Zerg.
Even though Kerrigan herself is now a powerful psyker, if we were to ask who is the chief psyker of the Mongt Dynasty, it would definitely be Kerrigan.
"Kerrigan, hatch those eggs!"
"I know, father!"
As the hive network began to transmit Kerrigan's orders, the eggs in front of Norris turned into worker bees.
Soon a huge hatching nest slowly took shape in Malfi's bottom nest.
This was the first time that the Zerg had truly taken root on a planet ruled by the Warhammer humans.
Even on Agathos, there are no alien insects. After all, even if the civilians were told that these creatures were following Gao Yi's orders, the appearance of the alien insects was too scary, and humans' acceptance of such creatures was still too low.
The fungal blanket began to spread throughout the pipes, and metals, discarded industrial wastewater, and various mutated creatures in the bottom nest all became nutrients for the alien insects.
According to Gao Yi's idea, this time the alien insects did not produce worker bees and various military buildings according to the normal development process, but developed slowly step by step.
Even if the Zerg wanted to develop to a scale sufficient to influence the war situation through conventional means, it would take a long time.
As the scale expands, it will inevitably be discovered and a war will break out with the cultists in the bottom nest.
So this time Gao Yi asked Kerrigan to hatch not a large number of Zerglings on Malfi, but a special kind of Zerglings.
All biomass and energy is used to produce special Zerg called Nydus Worms.
Although according to the normal settings, these Zergs, which are like tunnel boring machines, use their extremely strong muscles and sharp teeth to dig tunnels underground, and then form a fast network to transport the swarm.
However, with the support of the system, the effects of the game were once again displayed in the tunnel.
The tunnel worms in two places do not need to be actually connected to each other to directly transport the swarm across the planet.
If it were not for the fact that it could only transport ground units and Zerg units, the Webway of the Old Ones could have been retired directly.
However, after Gao Yi's testing, it was found that these tunnel worms also had a very fatal weakness, although they could ignore the terrain distance and link the two together.
However, the greater the distance, the smaller the number of swarms that the tunnel worm can transport. Transportation across galaxies will continue to consume the lifespan of the tunnel worms, and their bodies will gradually lose activity. A tunnel worm that can transport a swarm of swarms over ultra-long distances over a long period of time and stably requires a large number of queens to be by its side to continuously restore its life.
But even so, the tunnel worms have a limit. Once they reach the limit, no amount of recovery methods can restore their lives. Gao Yi guessed that this was also related to the subspace of this world.
At this time on the planet Char, a large number of Zerg swarms were waiting to be summoned.
Huge tunnel worms have been bred, waiting for the tunnel worms on Malfi to hatch
